Alpha Jax
“Are you okay? Talk to me, Quinn.”
The pain is… a lot. I can barely think right now, let alone speak. It takes me a moment to even register that I’m naked and bleeding in Jax’s lap. I just stare back at him, wide eyed, trying my best to fight through the pain.
Pain is temporary- that’s what my mom used to always say. As shifters, we heal quickly, so pain is fleeting. In that moment, I hear her voice in my head, repeating ‘pain is temporary’ over and over again. I focus in on it, steadying my breathing, closing my eyes. Putting my faith in the process, knowing that the injured muscle and skin is probably already knitting itself back together, healing itself.
