So sorry for the delay. Alaine can come anytime now.
The thunder was making her nerves shudder and spark under her skin. At any moment Ezra could slip away. She wished she could whimper and cry until the storm went away and her mate was better, but Ever couldn’t do that to him. Every time he moaned from her tending she had to look away to hide herself from the feeling he gave her. Eventually she slinked away and sat by the entrance of the cave letting him rest for a moment. Barely tilting her head back, Ever let out a low, exhausted howl for anyone to come to help, she rested her body on the side of the tree cave.
Rain was now pounding everywhere, forming puddles already and creating disturbances in the rough sand around the river. Eyes darted nervously everywhere to block out the emotions. She would have stayed there all night if it weren’t for Ezra’s speaking. She turned in time to see the other injury he was showing her. His eyes suddenly locked with hers and she looked down. They were clouded with a pain she had seen before in her mother’s eyes.
She thought Ezra was her cure, her drug to the nightmares and memories that haunted her. Robotically, the girl nodded when he thanked her, numb with sadness and chill. Making her way over to his bloodied, battered, body, she lay as gently as she could beside him without shakily falling into his chest. Ever kept her distance, it was small, but a noticeable amount. She didn’t want to hurt him more. Her head was turned away from his as she let her tears flow freely. It had been a long time since she had cried with reason, which broke her inside.
