Emmet:
"She's a mess. It's only been a few hours, and she hasn't stopped crying, passed out twice, and hasn't even let a single drop of water go down her throat," Maximus grunted, shaking his head as he fisted his palm.
I heard him, and I had seen her too.
It was like someone had reached down my throat and grabbed my heart in their fist. It wasn't easy to see Helanie show so much love and concern for my brother. I was worried for him myself and would do absolutely everything to get him out, but the way she showed it, it was different.
"She had done something similar for us. Even more. Remember when we were taken by the Glimard? She chased us in the snow to rescue us and found us," my wolf shocked me when he took her side. I always thought he didn't want me to accept her.
But I also knew why.
Accepting her means making her go through the pain I carry. My wolf would rather see us suffer alone than make our mate feel it too.
