Was it that kiss? Was he strengthening their bond every time he touched her? Heil followed her scent and the pull of their bond and found her injuring her fragile hands on the punching bag. The smell of her blood and then the need to soothe her had consumed him.

He’d held her, drawing comfort from her scent while she took comfort from him. Ava hadn’t pulled back. For once, they had allowed things to just happen.
