Chapter 26 DANE 1/5 I woke on my back , naked on cold , hard , wel ground .

Pain screamed through my right shoulder .

Sick heat seared through my veins .

I tasted metal in my mouth .

I groaned .

Dane ! Aurora knelt beside me .

Her hands were cool and dry .

on my feverish , sweating forehead .

Dont try to get up .

They had someone hiding in the trees .

You were shot with a silver bullet .

Fuck me .

No wonder I felt like death .

Did it go through ? I asked .

They left it in long enough to make you sick .

Then they pulled it out .

No wonder my shoulder felt like it had been sliced down to the bone and set on fire .

Aurora pulled her hand away .

Only then did I open my eyes .

I reached for my wolf .

Transforming would help me heal , and it would keep me warmer .

But he whimpered and moaned and wouldnt emerge .
