Memorising all the wounds I have I watch in amazement as I rid the last of the horrid-smelling stuff from my skin, the burns and mottled skin healing in front of my eyes.

The skin changes colour and knits back together in places in a fast motion.

I've never quite seen myself heal this way, except maybe when Theo had licked my wounds.

Moving my wrist back and forth I watch as the rope burns change from gaping open to healing shut to a scar pink and bright.

Something has awoken in me back there with that man, a feeling of belonging and Abyss has become stronger her call to be with someone almost overwhelming. She pines in my mind, our bond getting stronger as the minutes go by.

Mark her, mark her Theo Rex pleads with me but I can't. Not yet, not when I don't know the implications of doing such a thing. "Lil" I push her back by her shoulders looking her over as her eyes shift from dark black orbs to the perfect blue eyes I've come to recognise as hers."I'm so sorry Theo. I. I didn't.. that wasn't me" she winces back as she no doubt feels my disappointment that it wasn't her decision to mark me.I try to reign in my emotions buts the funny thing about mate bonds, is you can't really hide anything from your mate. "Why is it so overwhelming, why do I feel like this?" She asks sadly. "It's a mate bond, you have a connection to me now. You can feel everything I do.

Dr Knight has come back to see me three times since I've come home and each time he asks to try something different making a small cut here or there and he records just how quick it takes me to heal.

After keeping her hauled in the house under my watchful eye for the last week I’ve finally had to let the reigns go and take a step out of the house and her sight. I run through the woods to my underground bunker where Lucas is holding three of Damien Moon's best warriors, they’ve been here for five days waiting for me and Lucas is starting to get impatient with me. Yeah, I had to pull a few strings with my spies but shit they worked and the price I paid to have these fuckers in my bunker is well worth it.I specifically chose the closest men, the ones whose memories would be tainted with hushed words between themselves and their alpha... maybe even their future alpha for a reason.
