By the time someone had arrived, the silver girl had fallen into a feverish sleep. Instead of the normal warmth she felt from her mate, all she felt was the cold wet rain and blood against her. Her sensitive auburn ears twitched unconsciously as the soft shower turned into driving sleet. She sighed as another shuddering breath passed through Ezra’s body, positive it wasn’t a dream this time.

The sound of the abrupt storm washed away the scent and sound of the approaching woman as soon as she was in earshot. A sharp bark drove Ever immediately to her feet, head spinning from her troubled nap. Her eyes were wide in the semi-darkness until it was apparent that the collie wolf announced she might be able to help.

Something about her was familiar from the moment the light had turned her dark silhouette in a creamy haze of golden hues. After a moment of waking up, Ever realized she was the apothecary. The girl could have danced with happiness at her luck.

“I did.”

She responded with a grim, but still dazzling smile.

“He is hurt badly, I do not know how but he said it was from another wolf,”

Ever felt as if she would fall back down on the floor, but instead gestured at her mate with a heart-wrenching expression.

Only a couple times had she seen the collie-woman in action. It was only form a distance. But even in the harsh, gloomy light, she was stunning. Ever didn’t find it hard to imagine that her nimble fingers could cure anything they touched.

Lightening crackled, lighting up the willow cave in an uncomfortable light. The silver girl moved out of the way to expose her love to the healer. She wasn’t chatty, and this was an occasion where she didn’t have to be. Her eyes didn’t dare travel past Ezra’s face. Not until she was able to control herself.
