Chapter 31: True Loyalty
*Sienna*
Mei is carefully changing my bandages; removing the old ones and soaking the new ones in the medication Lady Horatia gave her. It is a slow process, but she handles it so perfectly.
“Where did you learn to do this?” I ask her in a whisper; my voice hurts less when I talk like this.
She grins and covers the last part of my neck. “I am Chinese, and it is part of our ancestor’s culture for the women to learn all we can about medicine and healing. Our werewolf history is legendary, and the wives had to always look after the injuries of the husbands.”
I smile at her and let her finish before she turns and puts everything in place. Having these bandages is uncomfortable, but I feel better with them each day; my skin feels fresh and the burning sensation is gone.
Once she is ready, we both walk to the backyard and find Xavier standing, his back leaning against the wall. His eyes follow Ro and the twins running a perimeter check in their wolf forms.
