Kaylee pov Liz is moving Aron's unconscious body when she starts to work on his back and look for bullet holes. I just look at her and can't move from my spot. "Come here and help me roll him around, we have to get these out. Now, Kaylee," she says to me when I slowly move over to his body. Squatting down bedside, I look at her when I don't think I can touch him. I'm not even sure why I bother to save him. After everything he has done, I shouldn't care at all, then why do I? "Here, hold him here, and I will try to dig out the one in his shoulder first, then we roll him onto his back and look at the front," Liz says, pointing where I should hold him, and I have to take a deep breath before I do as she says. Placing my hands on his body, tingles shoot up my arms and make me all warm inside. It stirs up some emotions, and I try to push the feeling down to focus on what we need to do instead. "It's deep!" Liz says, and I see her working hard on his back until she finally manages to

Kaylee pov Looking at Liz, we sit in the kitchen, and none of us knows what just happened to Heidi. I have no idea why she reacts this way when Liz takes a sip of her coffee, like it's usual for her. "Don't bother about her reacting this way. With Heidi, none of us knows why she does the things she does. What you have been through and her reacting this way could come from what happened to her sister. If no one has told you, she had a sister who was several years younger than her, and she got raped and pregnant by a man. She ended her own life after, and I know Heidi blames herself for not being able to keep her sister safe. That's why I believe she puts in everything she has to help other young women, but that's just my thought. She never talks about it, and there is no point in thinking about it too much," Liz says, and I feel how my stomach turns from what she tells me. That could be an explanation why she reacted this way right now, when I was forced to go through this. Or there

Dane pov She stands over Aron, growling, and I want to get between them and stop him so he doesn't go at her. I know what monster is lurking under his skin, but she has no idea, and I can't let him kill her. "Don't do anything. You came here for your mate and unborn child." I mind link him when he only growls back at me through mind link before he cuts me off. "So, how is it going to be? I know you want nothing else than to finish me, so why don't you?" I hear her mock him, and I know how thin ice she is at here. I saw her fight before, and she had real skills, but against his monster, she can't do enough. I see Aron look at her and growl, threatening, but the way he lays his head back down and takes a deep breath, I never thought I would see. Is he finally starting to come to his senses, or is it just temporary? "Oh, so you give up! Then turn around with your hands on your back." She says, and he growls, but surprisingly, he does what she says. I know there isn't anything that's

Dane povThe moment I hear him growl mate, I know it won't end well. I snap my head in their direction. He is standing right behind her, and I don't know if I have ever seen anyone paralyzed out of pure fear than what she is right now, it is painful to even watch her. No one should be afraid of its mate that way, and she looks like she could have a heart attack and die on the spot."Aron! Take it easy," I say out loud while getting up from the floor. There is a disaster about to happen, and I am afraid of the outcome. It's clear she is no way ready to meet him, if she ever will be after everything he did to her. But if they don't get past this and he can somehow earn her thrust, then I'm at a loss for what to do.He growls again, and I know that it's pointed at me and not at her, but it has her snapping out of whatever state she quickly gets down to the floor. Looking that way, I see her grabbing the syringe she had to have placed there when she helped me get up."Kaylee, it's alright

Dane povLooking at her when her body bounts down the stairs, and it doesn't look good. Even if she is a wolf and can heal, the damage to the womb can be too severe, and the feteus won't survive it."Jeffrey, get ready! I'm coming, and we have to leave right now!" I say through mind link while rushing over to the stairs, hoping to reach it before she ends up on the floor.I'm not there quick enough, and from the sound she makes when her head hits the floor, I know it didn't go well. Aron is right after her, and not even he was quick enough to take over the control from his wolf and reach her in time."What's going on?" I get a mind link back from Jeffrey when I see Aron leaning forward and picking up her body from the floor. She grunts and gazes at him briefly before her body becomes slack in his arms."Kaylee is hurt, we have to go back right now!" I answer Jeffrey and cut the link after. Looking at Aron, he stands with her small body in his arms and sniffs at her."We have to get ba
