she okay, but she's out for blood, My blood. Good. I'd rather fight her while she's standing on her own two feet than while she's lying unconscious in a hospital bed.

"I told you I wasn't going to let you die," I tell her calmly.

"That wasn't your decision," she says, smacking me again. Because I've marked her, I can feel her anger, and the hurt, but underneath that, there's a twinge of happiness that I'm still here and that she is too. "Joshua didn't get to win. He didn't get to have you in life and death. He didn't deserve you and you deserve better than dying because of him," I growl, putting my hand over hers and holding it against my chest.

I can feel her resistance to the pull of the mate bond, but I can also feel her desire and her gratitude. "When you're ready. I didn't force this on you because I wanted to. Yes, I want you.
