Shoran started experiencing pain, I could see it and feel it. This wasn’t discomfort. She let out a small cry and I had to put my arm in front of James to stop him from disrupting whatever Adara was doing.Even though I could see that Shoran was in pain, I knew that Adara would never do anything to harm her. James knew that too, but his instincts told him to protect his mate, at any cost.Adara held her hands over Shoran for the next thirty minutes, whispering to herself.
