fh ) Chapter 0602 I My youthful skin was now relaced with I scars, indentions and imperfections. As each layer of wrapping coff, new {horrors were being exposed. The pattern I of the chains was very clear with each link. Red, angry, and irritated skin was now my look.
“Everything is still inflamed. Once the swelling goes down, it won't be as red.” The nurse tried to ease my mind.
Looking up, Alec was staring at my body.
Colt had his head in his hands as he sat on the couch. “Okay.” Was all I could get out.
“The blisters are all scabbing over and should be completely healed this evening.

I “You guys can cover to our place.” I" Colt offered as he stood up.
f “I appreciate the offer but the packhouse still has Alec’s old room we can stay in.” The nurse was down to my legs at this point.
“Do you needto stay, sis?” Colt asked.
“No. I'm okay.” Tearing my eyes off my legs, I looked up at him.
“You're not okay.” “Well, no but I'm not going to fall apart either. You can go do what you need to do.” I gave him a small smile.
He raised his hand like he was going to touchbut decided against it. “Love you.”
I “Love you too.” I said quietly as he I turned to leave. After givingone last look, he walked out of the room. “What i I did he need to go do?” I asked Alec.
“He is going to call Jasper and get an I update and figure out what Jace and Lars I are doing. We took over the pack so now we have to divide the land and the people init.” “Is this the first tthere has been a war with no fighting and no one died?” Alec snorted at my comment. “Don’t know I would call it a war. Anthony ran like a fucking coward and abandoned his pack. Poor way to get a victory but I'l] take it.” “I’m all done here. I am going to leave you uncovered.

Using his distracted mind, I slowly got up to look at I my body in the mirror. The ribs weren’t I as sore as I figured they would be but my shoulders did hurt like a bitch. They will probably never be the safter this. My wrist was yellow and green but it felt better.
Taking my gown off, I just stared at myself. My hair was singed but I still somehow had my eyebrows and eyelashes. There wasn’t a single part of my body that wasn’t red, inflamed or puffy in sway.
Seeing a hair tie on the counter, I was able to get my hair into a somewhat messy bun, but it did little to improve my looks. “Everything will go back the way it was.” Alec said as he walked up behind I me.
“No itwon’t.” I traced the chain pattern ) across my chest and down my arms and "stomach. “The chains left in indention in I my skin. I won’t need to tattoo anything, I these will stand out.” I «your body is like a canvas. It shows all the pain you been through but you are still here. These are all superficial.

“On the bright side, I got a boob lift from the skin grafting.” I tried to smile through it but I knew I wasn’t fooling

“Oliver said I may not have feeling in my body anymore.” I said quietly without looking at him. “What if I can’t feel you anymore?” “Love. There isn’t anything that will keep you from not feeling me.” I felt the desire run through him. He stepped forward and placed his hand on my lower back. One of the least affected areas. The sparks that ran through my body was just as intense.
There was sparts that were lighter
but it was still there. All the way to my toes.
I “It’s lighter in sareas but I can still I feelit.” \ I “Just imagine what it will feel like when ( youare healed.” “I need to heal quickly so we can go get our daughter.” I couldn’t top the one tear that fell down my face. The saltiness of it burning the raw flesh under it.
“We will. We will get her back and kill those bastards, ending this completely.” Alec’s eyes turned black as I felt a surge of power coming from him.
