She hissed when her left arm bumped against the deck. "Looks like it's broken," Kayden said and Ben nodded grimly. "It's a spiral fracture," Ben said. He'd seen a few of these growing up in the foster care houses he ended up in. The limb looked swollen and red and the bruise from a hand's overly tight grip could be clearly seen on it.

She couldn't tell if any of her feelings about anything were appropriate. After sleeping about twenty-four hours, with Khadija checking on her occasionally, she finally got out of bed. She went to the bathroom and inspected her face in the mirror. She had a black eye, but the swelling had gone down. Her jaw was still puffy and weird on one side, and she looked like she'd been in a car wreck. But she was hungry, which she thought was probably a good thing, and she was definitely feeling more human and less like roadkill.

His chest rose and fell, each breath ragged, like the words had ripped something out of him too. “I don’t” My voice cracked, fragile. “I don’t understand.” Kenneth released my wrist slowly, as if the weight of his grip had burned him. He staggered back a step, dragging a bloodied hand across his jaw. The night wind caught his shirt, torn and hanging from his frame, revealing the deep bruise already darkening along his ribs. “You’re not supposed to,” he said finally, his tone flat. Brutal. A verdict, not an explanation.

I then remembered the door bouncing back open because of a piece of foam slightly sitting in between the doorframe preventing it from closing. "But how am I gonna get there?" I looked down at the chains that were attached to my wrist and then noticed that they weren't even locked. They were still open but slightly. I carefully shoved my thumb into the lock in attempt to apply pressure in order to get it to open up more. My acrylic nail popped off taking my actual nail off with it. I screamed out as a tremendous amount of pain shot through my hand. "FUCK!" I squealed as I watched blood seep out of my finger.

Contracts can always be broken. “Well, I have counted more than fifteen broken bones… Eleven of them being her ribs and both collar bones. Her entire left arm, upper and lower is fractured, and luckily, the upper came close to being a compound fracture but I have been able to get that mostly fixed… Her right humerus is fractured in two spots and I am working on accessing her neck and head right now.” Bart explained feeling Karen’s neck carefully. “I haven’t had a chance to look at her hands yet either…”

He was utterly broken. “I’m sorry for causing you too much pain. I didn’t mean to destroy your relationship with Nikky.” I rushed to apologize without giving him a minute to get a hold of himself. Dr. Dane said nothing. Instead, he dropped to his chair, his hand met his face, and he wiped it with his palm, trying to act like the man he was.

he ordered. She looked up at him, he was poker face. She showed him her hand. He examined the hand for a while and then he took a deep breath. “You have broken your knuckle,” he said in a whisper. Zain got up from his place and walked towards them. “Show me,” he said and bent on his knees next to Roman. He examined her hand as well. He was a skilled medical student as well. “Yeah, it’s not broken, just unbalanced, I think we need X- rays,” he said.

"That's not helping." "It's not supposed to feel good. It tells me it's the joint and not the bone." He eased off, smoothed his thumb over the spot he'd dug into, an apology without words. "It's not broken. You'd be a different color and you'd be sick from it. It's wrenched. The socket's angry. Few days." "I don't have a few days. I have a keep full of people who notice when I move wrong." "Then move right and lie about the rest." He said it lightly. "You're good at that."

The case with its fracture and the fracture with a path through it. Tomorrow.

she asks. “You’re going to hold the bones while my wolf heals them?” I ask, shocked. “Yes, if she’s strong enough,” she says to me. ‘I’d like to try,’ Haise says in our mind space. In the past, we’ve just had braces put on our legs and while Haise healed me, the bones were never set properly. It’s probably why they break during battles. I’ve noticed that more and more, my bones have been breaking, especially in places where they’ve broken before.
