I wake up in the morning in my bed next to Kas, who has herself wrapped around me. Her light snores tell me she is comfortable, soI try not to interrupt her. The last thing I remember is Saint blocking me out after we shifted, so he could spend some alone time with Lex. I rub the sleep out of my eyes and realize I have sap stuck to the side of my face with pine needles embedded in the sap. My hands are filthy and I smell like I may have gotten sprayed by a wild animal. '
I carefully unwrap Kas from around me, so she doesn’t wake up. She has fared no better. Her hair is full of dry, caked mud with little twigs and bits of leaves sticking out. There are streaks of dirt on her face and dried blood on her chin. Looks like Lex must have been hunting rabbits. Kas lets out a content sigh as I get out of bed and pull the covers over her.
I stop short when I realize she has bite marks all over the scarred part of her back. Saint knows Lex can't heal Kas’s scars quickly. Why would he do that to her? I finish covering her up as much as Ican when I realize the bedding has been destroyed.
“Saint, you wanna tell me what the Hell happened last night?” I ask as I look at the dirty, shredded sheets on the bed. Around the room, the chair was knocked over and broken and we scattered everything from the nightstand on the floor. There are deep gouges on the wall behind the bed and a spot where the drywall looks like someone got slammed into it.
“Adult stuff, dummy. Now go away,” he huffs and rolls back over in my mind to finish sleeping. 7
“Well, I don’t care what kind of freaky shit you and Lex are into, but you can't be biting Kas on her scars, Saint. Lex can’t heal them as fast. Don’t hurt our mate,” I scold him.
“Whatever. Our mate is strong, she can handle it. She’s been holding back for your benefit. We’re strong enough for her now,” he says defiantly, yawning and stretching before he curls up to ignore me. I take in his words. It never occurred to me that the silver embedded in my body could make Kas and Lex feel like they needed to go easy on me.
I get a shower and get myself ready for the day before I rouse Kas out of bed. I wipe the blood off her mouth before she sees it. Of all the things she still has trouble with, the sight of blood still makes her squeamish. Once she is out of the shower and has her business suit on, she looks like she’s in a much better mood.

I take my seat in the front row of the makeshift courtroom we have created in the Blood River ballroom for Randall's trial. With the number of pack members who need to give statements against Randall, it didn’t make sense to have the trial in Vienna where the Council headquarters is. Ashley and Carly have arranged for the room to be set up as close to the official courtroom as possible.
Kas sits next to me, listening intently as former members of Silver Moon step up to speak out against Randall. They unveil story after story of neglect and cruelty as the pack members give their testimonies. I can slightly sense her anger as the stories come to light, but I can tell she is doing her best to hold it in. Especially from the ones dealing
