Betrayal's Shadow
“Not happening.
Mia tried to focus on the memory of Turen’s voice. Instead, her mind veered back to last night.
The pain had hit in the shower this time. Luckily, he’d come back from his perimeter check and found her curled on the floor of the bathroom stall. It had taken twenty minutes for him to soothe away the sharp pain in her side and confirm the baby’s heartbeat was back to normal. A full hour passed before the shivers left her body. He’d spoken softly and held her against his body, his so...lid strength a barrier against the fear riddling her nerves.
His finger stroked her face, bringing her back to the present. Tight lines of worry and strain were evident around his eyes and mouth. “It’s going to be okay, love.”
