Amora snapped her gaze up to Augustus. "W-water. Can you get water for—"
Alexis coughed so much harder this time and along with it came out the mouthful of blood that she spurted. She gripped Amora, very much in the sort of pain she had never felt before.
"It hurts…" The bubbles of tears in her eyes broke. "Mating mark… It-It hurts."
"The mating mark?" Amora's eyes flickered and she pulled Alexis's forehead to her shoulder. She checked the mating mark and her eyes flickered so rapidly, her jaw dropped. "What in the world?"
"I've never…seen something like this before…" Augustus mumbled.
The formed mating mark at her neck was burning bright golden, almost like it could burn if it was touched. But that wasn't what had them shocked out of their minds. It was the fact that the mark was bleeding. Profusely at that.
Her back was becoming a bloody mess.
