Moonlight
“Though thankful to be alive, part of me wished for death when I awoke. Every muscle in my body screamed with rage. My chest felt as if it were on fire, throbbing, aching, and burning all at once. I didn’t dare try to move my left arm. If it was still there. Last I remembered, it looked as if the wolf wanted to tear it off. I wouldn’t have been surprised if all that was left was a ruined stump.
The all-over pain was so acute that it drowned out all other senses. My body screamed so loudly that I couldn’t hear anything else around me. I didn’t dare open my mouth, fearing the sound would actually escape my body and give away the agony I was in.
Aiden’s deeply concerned face appeared above me. His dark eyes pleaded for forgiveness without having to hear him speak the words. He shook his head and gently swiped a hand across my forehead. I might not have been able to hear, but I read his lips well enough.
“Sleep, babe,” he told me. “It’s going to be all right.”
I wanted to believe him, but ...I knew my body had taken too much damage.MoreLess
