My heart feels like it may beat clear out of my chest. I can’t believe Godrick has done so much for me. For Joy. I feel like a massive bitch, knowing that I was willing to end our mating without even trying to get to know him. Without speaking a word to him or even trying to give him a chance.

How would he feel if he knew that was the reason I was at Xavia’s when I got shot? Would he still be here taking care of us?

“Do you think you can move?” Godrick’s voice breaks into my thoughts.

“Not much.”

“I’m going to pick you up,” he says as he keeps our gazes locked. “It’s probably going to hurt and I’m sorry for that, but I need to take you outside. You need to shift so that your magic can help you heal.”

I nod in agreement even though I don’t really feel like going through more pain right now. Godrick slides his arms beneath me and lifts me from my spot. I try not to give away that it hurts like a motherfucker but he must be able to tell.

“I’m sorry,” he whispers against the crown of my head as he cradles me to his chest. “As soon as you have shifted, the pain will lessen.”

I nod but don’t speak. I know the shift will help me heal but shifting with a serious injury like mine is going to hurt more than words can explain.

Godrick carries me through the house and out the sliding glass door in the dining room. Outside I breathe in the fresh air, already feeling a little better. Shifters are connected to nature and just being outside already makes me feel a little better.

“I’m going to set you down,” Godrick says after stopping in the middle of my lawn. “I need you to stand even though it hurts. You can’t shift fully dressed, it will only put more strain on you.”

He lowers me slowly, one of his strong arms banded around my back to keep me balanced. We stare at other, each waiting to see what will happen.

“Can you do this on your own?” Godrick asks lowly.

I shake my head, not daring to speak. Godrick shifts me slowly, adjusting his grip so that he has a hand on my hip. I have my palm placed on his forearm, steadying myself for what is to come. Slowly he lifts the overly large t-shirt I am wearing. The fabric creeps up my thighs before skimming along the curve of my ass.

“Hold onto my shoulders.” His voice is rough when he speaks, and I instantly comply.

It’s amazing how my broken body has the capacity to become aroused at this moment. I am not surprised, though. Godrick is my mate, after all, and my reaction to him being this close to me is as natural as breathing.

I feel the material lift over the wound in my stomach before his palm returns to the center of my back. My skin heats and tingles when he touches me, and a small mewling sound escapes me.
