Chapter Nineteen

After Dawn left, Yazen went over them both again. Tyff was worried about his mate. Somehow, he felt like he was letting her down, even if Dawn had just told him what was happening wasn’t his fault.

How can it be anyone else’s fault? He was furious with himself. It’s my fault, and mine alone.

“Is she okay,” he asked. He couldn’t bear the thought of her being in pain, especially when he felt it was at least partly his fault.

“She’s doing very well,” Yazen said comfortingly. “Her knee is almost healed, and I think by tomorrow, she will be ready to get up and move around.”

“Thank Syh,” breathed Tyff. Renay squeezed his hand and looked up at him with those perfect blue eyes. He felt like he was drowning, but not in her stillness. He was drowning in his own guilt.

“You didn’t do yourself any favors getting here,” Yazen warned. “You were on the verge of hurting yourself far worse.”

“I know,” she said, somewhat plaintively. “I just couldn’t help myself.”

Tyff had to let go of her hand and step away from the bed. If he had been open to her, none of this would have happened. He could have swooped down on her and tended to her every second.

This is all my fault, all of it! I hurt her. I hurt my mate.

“No, you didn’t,” she responded to his thought, surprising him yet again. “It is not your fault, Tyff. You’re just reacting to your own pain. We can work through this together.”

She reached out for him, and even though he was so at odds, he couldn’t stop himself from taking her hand.

“You have a strong female here, Tyff,” Yazen said with a smile. “She can heal you if you let her.”

“Tell me what to do,” Tyff said with quiet intensity. “You’re the healer. You tell me how to fix this.”

“I can only recommend what Dawn has already suggested,” he said gently. “Talk to each other. Have time. The Knowing will come.”

Tyff wished he could believe it. Both Yazen and Dawn seemed so certain, but Tyff could feel nothing inside.

“Are you hungry,” he asked. “Would you like to eat together?”

“Yes,” she said, eagerly. “Tell me all about your day. I can’t wait to learn all about your job.”

“Well, it’s not a job, not exactly,” he said. She smiled at him and he realized she knew it wasn’t a job in the Earth sense.

She knows more about me than I know about her. He felt off balance, as if he had suddenly lost his wings. He felt like if he let go of her, he would tumble to the floor.

He didn’t want to leave her to go to the kitchens, so he called up to have something brought to them. Yazen left soon after and Renay and Tyff were alone in the medbay.

He felt awkward at first. He had no idea what to say or how to act. Her gentle looks and sweet smiles teased him slowly out of his shell until he was talking eagerly about his duties as war master.
