The reason why the second i noticed a cave shirkded by trees; I knew it would be the perfect location. The cave would protectins from the harsh elements of the outside, adhile the trees added security, I also knew it was undoubtedly the best camping grousal that could be found in this place. Well camp down here for the night. “

She dropped her head. “Okay.”
Waiting to give Layla the time to create a makeshift paller mod blankets and recycled clothes, I stepped aside. Ever so gently I placed her down on the ground, wincing at the painfilled cry that escaped her. A constant remainsler of all she’d been through these passing works, my rage boiling over the top. The people that’d done thus in her better lope Iarver find out their identity, as there would be no sering them from my wrath, Or Bhavage’s vengeance,
“Out,” she ordered the men thard filtered inside of the cave’s entrance, apparemly not pleased by her presence. “Thave to undress her to check her
“OUTT” I growled in warning. The mere slaught of any man bearing winess to the makes flesh of my mare raised my rage to unforeseen levels. Thankfully they were wise to listen.
Going into action when she saw all of them adhere to their alpha’s orders. Layla attempted to remove her clothes. Yet when each movement caused whampering cries, she is her liprin a thoughtful pose I recognized. In the next momment coming to a decision, she pulled out a knife from berbag mitting the fabric from her body. There wasn’t much for her to cut away, mufomunately, as most of her garments were torn and shredded Accomplishing her goal as the last was cut away, the shreds were carefully removed and tossed away.
I shifted my gaze away in the hopes of encountering evidence of her trauma, but it was too late. fid seen enough. The brusing I’d seen was light compared to what those clothes were concealing from my eyes. There were bums around her wrists and ankles, where someone had clearly kept her tied up. Her entire body was a road map of the month she’d been in this dark world, consumed by bruises. More cuts and gashies than Fil ever

“I was right,” Layla gnashed her teeth when she lifted the arm, bearing witness to the picture wound in the crease. At this knowledge the shifted around inside of her bag, pulling out a vial of clear liquid for fer view. “This will help push nut whatever drugs they’d pumped her full of,”
As much as I looked forward the moment of her waking up, I also knew it couldn’t be allowed. Not yes. I placed a hand on her arm. “Why don’t you see to her other juries first i will be better to tend to them before you wake her up to a world of pain.”
She nodded. “Right,”
For this reason, for the next hour, Layla focused her attention on treating her numerous injuries. With my assistance of course, Using water and a rag she’d brought along with us; we saw to cleaning all the dirt away from her body. Then wished we hadn’t, it made it way worse. Layla created a paste for the curs. “Daddy why don’t you lay down next to her. Hlavage’s presence should help speed along the recovery process”
Understanding the reasons for why she felt the need to make the suggestion, I submitted to her will. Moving around on the pot laid down in the area next to her, though there was a limited space. The second I did Bhavage surfaced from the back of my mind, allowing his essence to surround her. The aura. His way of allowing our mate to know that we were nearby that it was safe for her to wake. As well as allowing Diamond to sense his presence too, in the hopes she’d awaken inside of her mind. Both of us hoped that our presence would give her all the strength she needed to awake from the void.
“Is she…was the pregnant?”
sked her, the question that’d been hanging heavily on my mind for days now.
“I don’t know Dadily, Layla barely breathed her answer, unable to miss the tears burning in the back of her eyes. This was one of the m emotional experiences of her life, nearly as bad as losing her mother had been. “It’s a miracle she’s still alive, She’s gour through some truly avtoshang odd this last month, most people wouldn’t have survived it. Take solace in that “
Tabd. Even as pained as I was at the thought, she could’ve lost our cub, I was relieved that she was still alive. Astonishing as it was. Two months ago, hadn’t wanted a mate, now the thought of kasing her was painful to consider: The bond had grown between us in the mouths we’d tried to conceive a rub, to depths I’d never imagined possible. And though my mind hadn’t changed in the matter or so I claimed – couldn’t stomach the thought of her dying
When Layla had seen to tending to all wounds inflicted on her, she dressed her in a change of clothes. No wonder she hadn’t balked at the thought of cutting her clothes away, she’d brought her a second set. “She’s as liraled as she’s going to he right now.
