"Edwin, are you alright?" Ruth asked, holding his hand in hers.
He only nodded his head without a word, but one could feel the tension guarding around him.
Tears didn't stop from Elsie's eyes as she watched her brother hissing in pain as Ruth treat his wounds.
"B-brother Edwin... I... am sorry!" Elsie sat at his feet and apologised for her behaviour.
He told her to stay away from Lester, but she couldn't hold back and ran to see him. If only she had not let Lester's wolf be aware of his mate's presence, then he wouldn't have attacked Edwin.
Edwin remained silent with a deep scowl on his face. Elsie glanced in Ruth's way, asking for help. Ruth blinked her eyes in assurance.
"Lady Elsie, I think your brother needs some rest. I will take him to his chamber. Please inform us about Lord Lester's condition and..." Ruth faltered as she wanted to warn Elsie about the mistake she had already committed.
Elsie nodded her head in understanding. "I will not go near him."
