CHAPTER TWELVE

One Month Later . . .

Bocc-d’ar

I lie abed, watching my mate sleep. The covers rise and fall with each sweet breath. I lift the soft furs slightly so that I can peek under and admire her more closely.

Her perfect nipples strain against the soft gray fabric of her shift. I wish that she would sleep in the nude so that I could see her beautiful body more intimately, but she does not seem to understand my wishes. I myself sleep in my flesh form with no clothing, but as of yet she has failed to catch on.

We are newly mated, and we will have the rest of our lives to learn each other’s likes and dislikes. So for now, I do my best to remember exactly what she looks like under her clothing. At least she no longer needs the bandages from her encounter with the Sprek beasts. The constant reminder of how close she came to dying was more than I could bear.

I am still afraid to leave her side, even though there has been a complete cycle of the moons since that horrific night in the woods when I almost lost her. If only I could comprehend her strange tongue. It’s imperative that she understand the myriad dangers lurking outside the castle walls. I’m still confused and flabbergasted about why she fled the safety of my keep in the first place.

How has she even reached adulthood with no knowledge of how to defend herself? She seems to be ignorant of how to navigate dangerous terrain, and of which plants are venomous. Did her parents teach her nothing?

I shudder as I recall how terrified she looked when I finally found her, surrounded by the Sprek beasts. They had her cornered against the great falls. It sickens me to know that had I arrived scant seconds later, I’d have been too late. Either the raging waters or the hairless demons would have claimed her life.

To lose my mate after I have finally found her is unthinkable. I could never be happy with my lonely existence again. My sweet TSSS has brought new meaning to my life, and unfathomable joy. But she has also taught me to fear, a feeling I never really understood. Before TSSS I had nothing to lose.

I slide back her sleeve and examine her skin. She had a few small burns from the Sprek’s saliva. As I look at her arm I am pleased to see that I can no longer even tell where the blemishes on her fair skin were. She’s so fragile.

I hold my own arm up to examine it. My injuries from the Sprek beasts were more substantial, but are nearly healed. Fortunately I have a skilled healer with extensive knowledge of herbal poultices to counteract the poison in the beasts’ burning saliva.

As I regard my other arm, I see that nothing remains of their acidic burns but a slight puckering of the flesh. The new skin that has formed to replace that which was burned is a lighter color, but I’m sure my arms will look completely normal soon.
