Chapter 145

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.

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.

I loved how Griffin worried for me about being confronted with pack business. It was just like him. At
first, I fought it he always was so worried about me and tried to shelter me from it all. When we first
started to get to know each other, I figured it was because he didn’t trust me. In my mind him being
so protective of me was because like most of the wolves in my life had before he saw me as weak,This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
unable to handle things.
I learned that it was not like that, all he wanted to do was to keep me safe. Not because he felt like I
needed it. But because that is just how he shows his love. And how could I ever refuse to feel loved
by this man?
He was partially right about this one too. While I would hate not being in the loop. Knowing David
had escaped worried me. More than anyone else I knew exactly what the man was capable of and
that was enough to scare me. Hannah being pregnant with David should not bother me at all. It was
not like I wanted to be with David anymore and I still hated Hannah. Thest thing I should do is pity
the she-wolf that made my life into a living hell. Yet I could not help myself, I still wanted to raise a
family with Griffin. Bing a mother should be the most beautiful thing on this earth.
The moment that you’re no longer just a couple but finally be a family. Needing to go through
all of that alone must be horrible. But to think it was because David used her, and wanted nothing to
do with her because he honestly was insane must be even worse. Now she is imprisoned, I don’t
know when her trial is or when her punishment will be. But it must be terrifying to be in a prison cell.
And even if I knew it was out of selfish reasons. Because she wanted David for herself. She did
help me while I was in that dungeon.

I kept thinking of ways to help her when as I snuggled up in the bed. It didn’t take long for me to fall
into a peaceful sleep even with all the worries on my mind. All because of Griffin’s presence next to
me, it was so warm and soothing and it made me feel so safe.
“It is good to see you again my dear?” I whirled around at the now familiar face of Selene.
If I was seeing the Moon Goddess that only meant one thing. I had died or slipped back into a

Hourster I woke up from an otherwise dreamless sleep. Or at least nothing worth remembering.
When I did wake up my throat felt a lot better. Griffin was still tapping away at hisptop. And I can
only imagine how behind he got on his work while searching for me. It’s weird still not knowing so
much of what happened from the moment I got kidnapped until this very moment. I had only been
out of mya for a few hours. Most of those hours I had spent sleeping but it was what the doctor
advised and for the first time in my life, I wasn’t going to be stubborn. Deep down I was scared of
the consequences it seemed miraculous I hade out of it all with no permanent damage.
Or at least not physical I have no idea how I will feel once I am able to get out and about again. And
I tried not to think about it either. I needed to focus on getting physically healthy again. The next
step was to shift again. I had missed Willow and not being able to shift for so long is terrible for both
our human and wolf form. So the only way I would bepletely healed is after shifting and letting
Willow roam free again.
“Oh, Darling you’re awake, are you feeling hungry” Griffin had obviously noticed I was awake even if
I justid still wrapped up in my thoughts.

much better. I wanted to do something nice for him.
“I am more hungry for some snuggling with my wonderful mate,” I told
him.
This time able to talk without getting another coughing fit. The doctor told me that with my werewolf
healing. My throat would need to feel better within a few hours and it was another thing she was
right about.
Griffin rushed to get theptop off hisp, pulling me into hisp, in the spot where hisptop had
just rested. Being in his arms again felt right, it made me feel strong like I could ovee
everything the universe still had in store for me.
I wanted to kiss Griffin, tangle my hands in his her, and pull him closer to me. Sure I was still
exhausted and could probably not do much more than just kissing him. But I would be fine with that.
I just wanted us to feel close, I wanted to show him my love and for us wolves, there is no way to
better show your love than being physical. To say I was surprised and a little disappointed when
Griffin pulled me into his chest, hugging me instead of kissing me was an
understatement.
