"The wounds are infected," Jeremy said grimly. "She needs medical attention, but we can't risk taking her to the pack healer."

Lyla's eyes fluttered open at my touch. "Clarissa?" she murmured, her voice barely audible.

"I'm here," I assured her. "We're going to get you somewhere safe."

"Nathan—"
