-Kane-
I lay beside her, focusing on healing the wound she had reopened by running. She never should have been up. Certainly not trying to escape. And yet….her welfare had risen to the top of my priorities in a way that unsettled me.
This pull toward her, this instinct to protect was stronger than anything I had felt before. It demanded proximity, control and even claiming her. I shouldn’t feel this.
And yet, I did.
I needed distance from her. Unfortunately, tonight required the opposite. The smaller cuts and bruises she’d sustained earlier had healed with time, but the gash across her stomach refused to close properly. Apollo could sense her wolf faintly.
But he couldn’t reach her.
Why wasn’t her wolf healing her? Was her wolf suppressed? Or blocked somehow? I'm not sure what it
