The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 96

Looking at Magnus in his current state, it was clear he had no intention of settling down for the night. Best she keep her distance.

if he acted willfully at this time, there was a risk of reopening the wound, which would only prolong the healing process.
