“Hey,” I look at my brother as he approaches me. “How are you holding up?”
I shrug as Rafe sits beside me on the couch. “I don’t know.” I blow out a breath. My head is all over the place.
My mother’s helped me bring my mate back to the cabin I share with my brothers. My mate wouldn’t let anyone touch her, but that was understandable. I spoke to her, guiding her along the path so she didn’t trip and hurt herself even worse than she already was.
I don’t even know her name! Goddess, the state of my mate was like nothing I had ever seen before. She’s skin and bone and looked like she hadn’t seen a bath in months. I can’t even imagine what hell she’s lived through, but it wasn’t good. Anyone with eyes could see that.
