His eyes widen ever so slightly before he pulls free from my hold, turning away.

“I’m done with your games. Now get the fuck out of here and go back to your pack,” he says coldly.

“I don’t need you taking care of me. I need you to listen, so when you return home, you pass my message on,” he says, urgency clear in his voice.

My heart thuds as I try to focus on his words without my mind spinning at the horrific bruising. It’s bad. It might need to be drained… “I will… but before you can take care of others, Zade, we need to fix you,” I whisper as he moves away just when I try to touch him.
