Chapter 94

All in all, it was pretty terrible. Dakota wasn’t surprised about the swollen-shut eye, since he couldn’t exactly see out of it. He had a sneaking suspicion that his cheekbone was broken, but a quick and painful inspection revealed that it was at least still where it belonged, as far as he could tell. Otherwise, his lips were stained with blood. Bruising traced a path down from his eye to his jaw and neck. And more damage from the fall could be seen on his back. The fact that Kenna wasn’t terrified by the look of him spoke wonders to her personal strength.

Or apathy toward violence.
