Chapter 144


    144 Griffin


    I was finally taking care of A again, it was awful to see her struggle like that. For a second, I


    feared that she would just slip back into aa if I let her sleep for too long. I believed the doctor


    when she said that would not be the cause. And from the relief on A’s face, she had the same


    fear before the doctor reassured us both.


    I don’t think A ever knew how strong I think she is. However, I knew the truth, so feeling her


    break down in my arms. Feeling her tears soaking my T-shirt was like a stab to the heart. I hated


    seeing her so broken, and at that moment I had quietly promised her and myself that I would make


    her feel whole again. I would be the one that showed her how strong she was again. First, that


    meant taking extra care of her, if I could mend her broken body. To make her feel fit again, it would


    be easier for the rest to follow.


    As I undressed her for the first time ever, my stomach churned at the sight of her naked body. Full of


    bruises and cuts, seeing her ribs as she stood there ready to get into the bath. The fingerprints on


    her hips. Indicating how David had held her down as he was having his way with her. I felt sad,


    disgusted, and furious all at once. But with how A was feeling, there was no room for my


    emotions. She was my top priority now.


    Scared she would fall asleep during bathing, I got into the tub with her. Letting her sit between my


    legs as I gently washed every inch of her, Thanking the Moon, Goddess that my body did not have


    its usual reaction to seeing my perfect mate naked. To touching her soft bare skin. Now was not the


    time, I would not make her feel like that was the only thing I wanted from her.


    If she would never be touched like that because of what David has

    done to her. I would not love her less. I would stay loyal to her to my dying breath. Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.

    Now she was lying in the bed to me drifting off after we bathed and she had eaten the porridge I


    made her. She asked me to wear one of my shirts to bed. And of course, I had agreed, I had always


    loved seeing her wear my clothes. It always drove home the feeling of her being mine. Not to


    mention it was se xy as hell since my shirts were so big on her that they functioned as a mini dress.


    Now she looks more vulnerable than she does s exy. With how much weight she lost, they were


    even bigger on her now. And still, I could not help but feel so da mn attracted to her. I had to remind


    myself that this was not the time. A had too much healing to do.


    For a second, Dillion rushing into our bedroom was a happy distraction. I figured he missed A


    too. And was now true to his word rushing in to just tell her something silly. Or show her something


    he had bought her.


    I don’t know exactly what he said to her when I was gone, but the doctors were convinced that


    whatever it was had helped to bring her back to us. When he told us that he had news on David, my


    heart dropped. My anger soared at the fact that Dillion asked A if she wanted to hear it too. Of


    course, she didn’t she was far too weak to get involved in the pack business now.


    But stubborn as my wonderful mate was, she pushed herself up, re?ting against the headboard.


    Gesturing at her throat to indicate that she couldn’t speak yet.


    Dillion presented her with a small whiteboard with markers so she could join in the conversation


    without needing to speak. She smiled at him and started writing on it before Dillion even said a


    word.

    “Thanks, Dillion, this helps,” she wrote and I swear Dillion puffed up his chest a bit like he was proud


    to hear A thanking him.


    Or well to see A thanking him, the next thing she wrote was addressed to me. And her words


    made me fall in love with her even


    more.


    “Don’t pout Griff, I am proud to be your Luna and Queen. I want to help” She needed to write it


    down two times because the whiteboard was too small.


    When she was done, I could only smile and kiss her forehead as I told her.


    “And I am proud to be your Alpha and King, Darling but worrying about you is part of the job” Then I


    settled into the pillows again resting against the headboard of the bed.


    Ready to hear whatever it was, Dillion had to tell us.


    “David has been spotted at an airport, along with Jason and the other members of his new pack.


    Sad really that they left Hannah out, more so since she is carrying his pup. Poor girl really loves


    him, and I honestly don’t see why. She is not my type but honestly, anyone could do better than that


    steaming back of hit” He shrugged, causing A to giggle.


    Hearing A giggle was the best sound, but I did not know how to feel about David escaping the


    country. On the one hand, I wanted to punish him for all he had put A and me through. On the


    other hand, knowing he was so far away from us now meant A was safe. He could not retaliate


    and kidnap her again before we would find him. We could look at what country he had fled to and


    contact the royal family there to make sure that they would expedite David and the rest of his pack


    to us. We would then be able to put them to trial and punish him. As evil as it was, I was considering


    if it would be enough reason to punish him worse. Toe back to the agreement I made with

    Hannah, where I said I would spare both their lives in return for her telling me what happened to


    A and David.


    But A hadn’t known about Hannah’s pregnancy yet, and I was scared to see how she would react


    to the news. When I looked at her, she hardly seemed to show any emotion.


    “Darling, are you okay, I wanted to tell you about Hannah being pregnant with David’s pup?” I asked


    her since I could not read her at


    all.


    “I don’t care about their future, only ours,” She wrote on the little whiteboard.


    Taking my hand in hers, squeezing it again, showing me she was either much stronger than any of


    us could ever imagine. Or she was so broken that she wasn’t able or willing to let her emotions in. I


    hated not knowing what the reason was for her to be this casual about it. And as Dillion said his


    goodbye and A snuggled back in the pillows, I could only hope I would know soon. So that I


    could help her the way she needed.
