I was right.

I hate that I was right. It doesn’t make this dark feeling inside me any better. It just makes it worse.

Wes was already weak from giving birth, and his body was still trying to recover from that. But this time... The damage to his face was the least of our worries, though a concussion may be why he fainted. Bruises are appearing around his neck, getting darker by the moment. Then there is the rest of the damage to his body. Bruised ribs, two of them, bruises all over his chest and stomach, and they can’t rule out internal damage just yet. His arms and legs... He was lucky that he didn’t break anything.

How can anyone do something like this to someone else? How can someone do this to their mate? The one who they’re supposed to be with? The one who they love?

And to see Clay, sitting there. I can see thoughts going through his head, but he’s been quiet the whole time. Not saying anything, not doing anything. Just sitting there, thinking, planning, plotting.

I want to make it better. I want to take this ghostly look off Wes. I want to console Clay, even though I know he doesn’t want anyone near him right now. I’m about to take a little walk, needing some fresh air, when Wes opens his eyes and looks at me.

“Aiden.” His voice is still raspy and it’s obvious that it hurts for him to talk.

I come over, taking his hand. “Yeah?”

“Don’t leave. Please.” His breathing is fast and I sit on the bed with him, holding his hand. He squeezes my hand, hard, as tears form in his eyes.

Fuck. I look around. They’ve taken some of the machines away again, especially when they found that he was breathing on his own just fine and that he didn’t seem to be in any immediate danger. I slide next to him, carefully putting my arm under his head. He turns to me, putting his head on my chest as he wraps his arm over me. Then his arms tighten and his body shakes with sobs.

I wrap both my arms around him, keeping him close as I let my own tears go. That pain... So much pain.

“I thought I could deal with this.” Wes’ voice is so quiet that at first I wonder if I actually heard him. “I thought that it would be okay. That I’d be fine. I couldn’t let him near the little ones. But I thought that I’d be safe enough.”

“Has he...” I need to know.

It’s quiet for a while, but then I hear the one answer that I never wanted to hear. “Yes. He’s... done this before.”

I suddenly can’t get enough air anymore, my breathing uneven and Clay looks up, his eyes meeting mine and I feel like I’m standing outside myself, outside and looking in. Because this pain in my chest, this darkness, sorrow, despair. I can’t contain it, I can’t.

And, in my arms, Wes is shaking just as much.
