Back in the infirmary, Lucian laid me on the bed.

The communicator chirped, but he ignored it, turning to leave. My wolf remained dormant, my exhaustion too profound for even its restless

energy.

I closed my eyes, falling into a fitful sleep, a restless slumber punctuated by nightmares.

Without sleeping draughts, even my exhausted body couldn’t find true rest

My wolf whimpered in its sleep.

At the infirmary entrance, Lucian accepted an ointment from Fenris and returned. He found me thrashing in my sleep

He didn’t understand the depth of my transformation since Aurora’s death. He only saw a woman frightened by tonight’s events.

He knelt beside the bed, taking my hand.”Don’t be afraid, I’m here. Sleep peacefully,” he murmured.

His words, once a balm to my anxieties, now felt empty.

The comfort they once held was gone.

My wolf remained unsoothed, its anxiety intensifying.

Lucian frowned, his concern evident. He summoned a healer.

A sedative was administered, finally plunging me into a peaceful slumber.

He gently smoothed back my furrowed brow, his fingers wiping away the dried tears clinging to my cheeks. His expression was shadowed, his gaze intense.

My wolf sensed his conflicted emotions – the deep worry mixed with a restrained anger.

A moment later, Lucian withdrew his gaze. He adjusted the infirmary’s temperature, then reached for my gown. The sedative ensured I remained unconscious. He carefully removed my clothes, revealing the extent of my injuries.

His eyes turned red, a mixture of anger and self-reproach, his chest constricting with an unfamiliar, powerful emotion.

He wanted vengeance, a burning desire to punish those who had hurt me.

My wolf sensed that deep anger, and a low growl rumbled in my sleep.

“Seren, what in the world are you doing to me? Why are you so stubborn?”

My injuries fueled his rage.

If I hadn’t defied him, if I’d simply entered the vehicle with him, this wouldn’t have happened.
