Chapter 15

  Kade was awake. Injured, but awake. Selena's claws had gone deep and it took quite some time for him to start healing.

  "Drink this," I muttered, handing him a cup.

  He sniffed it. "Smells awful."

  "It'll help."

  He sighed but took a sip. Immediately, he gagged. "Mira—this is poison."

  I rolled my eyes at his exagerated reaction. "If I wanted to kill you, I'd do it in your sleep."

  He smirked. "Good to know."

  I ignored the warmth in my chest and focused on wrapping his wounds. Today was Selena's trial. I should have been getting ready for it. Instead, I was here, dealing with a stubborn Alpha who refused to rest.

  "Are you going?" Kade asked after a moment.

  I hesitated. "I have to."

  He was quiet. "You don't have to stay till the end."

  I looked at him. His golden eyes were serious. He knew how much Selena hated me. And he knew this trial would be hard to watch.

  I nodded. "I know."
