Justin POV Gwen, our pack healer, left the house at sunrise. I could have personally healed Helen but I was too afraid of shifting, of letting my Lycan get close enough to shift while exploring her beautifully sweet body. I waved to the healer and retreated upstairs, seeing my mate still sniffling into her pillow. Her scars were still bright and fresh, and I could have the marks gone completely if I had my way with her, but this would be the best Helen could have for now. I’m still too far on edge to have her body meet mine in s*x. Randy watched me carefully as I kissed her cheek. Her scent was so strong, too strong, that it burned my lungs and set a new fire ablaze in my blood. “Careful,” Randy warned. I gave him a pleading look. “She’s my mate. I am always careful with her.” H
