She turns and looks at Patrick, but he is looking at me. “Are you sure you're strong enough?” He asks.

“I'll be fine.”

He nods, then stands. “I'll have someone send you sclothes. Get a shower and be in my office in one hour.

And for goddess’s sake, wash your feet.”

| snort at that as he leaves, | start to walk on shaky legs toward the shower in the room. Lily immediately moves

and pulls one of my arms over her shoulder, helping me. “Clint, | really don’t think this is a good idea. You've

barely woken up, you haven't eaten in at least two days.”

“Lily, what is it going to take for you to realize that nothing is more important to me, than you. Not my health,

which will be fine, not food, not sleep. Nothing, not one thing is more important than you. And if

Anna is sabotaging us or hurting you, she will answer to me.”

Lily leansagainst the sink as she turns on the shower, letting it warm. “Am | going to have to worry

about you falling over in the shower?”

“I'll manage.” A week ago, I'd be inviting her to join me, but now, I'm just glad she hasn't left.

| pull off my hospital gown and go to stand under the shower spray. It feels incredible. | lean both hands against

the wall and let the water wash over my back, watching as the dirt and sweat on my body begins

to wash away.

I'm shocked when Lily steps in behind me. “Lily, what are you doing?”

“I'm making sure you don’t fall and kill yourself, Clint. Behave yourself and don’t try anything with me. We're not

back to that place yet, but I'm not going to let you die on my watch because you can’t stand upright in a shower

on your own.”

| feel her soapy hands begin to rub over my back and sides. | can’t help the sigh that leaves my lips. I've

heard it said that a mate's touch is healing. It's true. My body feels stronger and | feel better while she’s

cleaning me. When it’s tfor her to wash my hair, | turn, leaning against the wall and bend over so she can

more easily reach my head. Her hands on my scalp feel incredible, remindingour ttogether. My body

instantly responds.

“Whatever you're thinking about, cut it out.”

“It’s hard not to think about the best weekend of my life when my mate is naked in front ofand

washing my hair.” | tell her.

Her hands still in my hair for a moment before she directsback under the shower to rinse it off. She takes

extra tcleaning my feet, apologizing for getting them so dirty.

“You carriedto the hospital Lily. | don’t care what my feet look like. And | don’t think I've actually

thanked you for making sure | was treated after the fight. So, thank you.”

When we f

finish, she steps out first and | look at her backside for the first time. “What the fuck?”

| say, reaching out to grab her. Her butt and thighs are covered in bruises. Most of them are faded, but they are

there.

She follows my line of sight and shrugs. “I was immune to the wolfsbane, but that doesn’t mean the darts didn’t

hurt. You took somewhere around 10. Andra took at least twice that since she wasn’t going down.

| gently run my fingers over her bruises. “Clint.” It's a plea more than a warning. She wantsto stop. but she’s

affected by my touch.

| pull my hand away as | hear my phone ping.

“Will you grab that for me?” | say as she handsa towel.

She comes back in and holds my phone out to me.

“Who was it?” | ask her, not taking my phone.

“Uh, Patrick, I think.”

“Can you readwhat he said?”

She frowns at me. “I don’t know your code.”

“0514.”

She looks up at me, her hands going still.

“Your birthday.” I tell her.

| know what she’ll see when she opens my text messages. It’s why | asked her to read Patrick's. | see the flicker

of her eyes when she sees it. She looks back up atand | smile at her.

“Open it. You'll see they are my texts to you.”

“You havelisted as ‘mate” in your phone?” “Ever since the day | realized who you are to me.”
