Chapter 137
137 Griffin
My sweet, wonderful mate, unconscious on the cold cave floor. Even now that she was curled up. I
could see how matted her hair was. How skinny she had gotten. And I saw her body covered in
bruises. It triggered something protective deep inside of me. I just barely managed to tell the others
to leave the two of us alone. She is fully dressed, but the clothes are draping off her body. They are
too big on her now. I remember when we first met. She was so ashamed of her
scars, that I never minded them. And if these wounds turn into scars. too. I still would not mind, but I
know she would. So I want to hide ast many wounds and bruises as I can.
I shift back to my human form, not minding I am as naked as I was the day I was born, and I walk
over. She seems so peaceful on the one hand. But on the other hand, it is so clear that She is not
okay. That she wasn’t just sleeping because she was exhausted. So, like I intended to do. I covered
her bruises the best I could before I lifted her in my arms and carried her out of the cave.
I carried her like that in my arms all the way to the pack house. Asking her toe back to me,
whispering sweet nothing’s in her ear all the time. Asking her toe back to me. Telling her about
the ns I had for the two of us. Every single thing I could think of to get her to get back to me, but
nothing helped. Of course, Jay and Tessie had been brought up to speed. The two of them were
waiting for us, together with Daniel and Krystel, Collin, Dillion, Jessa, and Gerald had been in the
forest with me when I found A, and they had walked alongside me as I carried her to the pack
house.
After I had brought her to the pack hospital, ced her in a bed, and

washed her. Because I could not stomach the idea of anyone else touching her. Tessie came over
to check up on her daughter. Not as a mother but as a pack doctor, for me, it was a bonus to know
that her doctor loved her as much as I did. But I was not stup id, I realized how critical her condition
was. So for Tessic to work on her own daughter as a patient who might not make it must be
terrifying and
heartbreaking.
“What happened?” Tessie asked me, her tone cold and professional.
I feel like she was keeping herself detached from the situation. So she could be as professional as
she could. Without falling victim to the emotions that woulde into y from seeing her doctor
like that.
“I do not know we found her like that, on the floor of a hidden cave, though. One of the other
warriors found a backpack full of candy bars. and cans of sodas. So our best guess is that she was
too exhausted and hungry with not having been fed enough. The bag got too heavy for her, so she
dumped it. And it seemed like she had justid down for a little nap. I have no idea why it has gotten
so much more than just a little nap. All I do know is that she is not waking up” I told Tessie all the
information I had.
I knew it wasn’t much to go on, but it was all I knew. Tessie asked me to leave the room so she
could examine A. I did not want to leave her side, I had missed her for so long. And she had
missed me so I wanted her to feel her close to me. I knew in my heart that feeling me close, would
make here back to us, back to me sooner. Still, I did not want to bother Tessie as she was
doing her job, and neither did I want her to think I did not trust her. Reluctantly, I got up to leave the
room and give A and Tessie the privacy and space that they needed. But not before bending
over and giving Tessie onest kiss on the forehead, whispering to her.
“Come back to me, Darling, I cannot do this alone, I need you here. with me”

Thatst kiss to the forehead was two hours ago. Tessie still had note out of the room she was
in with A. And I was getting anxious, why would she note out to tell us what was wrong?
A firm hand on my knee stopped me from shaking it so much.
“She is in good hands Griff, and there is no way our Fire Cr acker is not pulling through.” Dillion told
me, but he was pale, and his eyes were glossy.
He was trying to reassure himself as much as he was trying to reassure me. The two of us andTêxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
everyone else in the waiting room breathed a sigh of relief when Tessie finally walked out of the
room.
“She has been getting a medicine that I did not know of, and finding out what it was or did wasn’t
easy. I managed to find out it is a medicine given to control someone’s shifts. Meaning that with all
the abuse she has been through, she has been forced to ignore her wolf too. The exhaustion and
hungerbined with the medicines and. their effects made her slip into aa. “Tessie’s
exnation made me boil with anger. At the same time, I am sick with worry, wanting to do anything
and everything I can do to get A out of hera.
When I asked Tessie what I could do to help A if there was anything I could do to help her with.
She told me I needed to take care of A. Be with her care for her and talk to her. There was no
proof that what I would tell her would matter. People are known to just read a story to the person in
aa. Because it is more the sound of your voice than the wordsing out.

First, though I wanted to take care of her just like Tessie suggested I would. Not wanting to leave
her side for even a second. I had asked Jessa to get A all her favorite toiletries and lotion and
whatever it was that she used. I had handed her my ck card and she was back soon enough with
a ton of stuff. She had saved me the receipts. I just crumpled them up and threw them away. Not
only do I fully trust Jessa. If she had stolen from me that would have been fine too. As long as she
did get the items I needed. The items A liked the most and since I recognized a few of the bottles
from our bedroom I knew Jessa had done a great job.
I crawled into the bed with A, lifting her until she was like in a sitting position when I was done. It
gave me free ess to her hair just as I wanted to. Starting with spraying in some detangling spray
and then patiently brushing small bits of her hair. To make it soft and bouncy again. And as I did I
sang for her. There was so much I wanted to tell her it stopped me from talking to her at all. I could
not find the words that would do justice to what I was feeling now.
