Chapter 58

• Third Person’s POV
• Five years ago, Dallas had sought out the Moonmender to heal Damian. Damian had been grateful...deeply so...but when he inquired about what Dallas had promised the healer in exchange for saving him, she had silenced him with a firm, unwavering gaze, refusing to answer. That secret had lingered in Damian’s mind ever since, a gnawing knot of unease.
• Since time immemorial, a vulnerable she-wolf like Dallas, when seeking aid from another, could offer little besides herself. But she had risked everything for him...her life, her strength...to preserve his. Even though Damian’s heart churned uncomfortably at the thought, he had buried it deep, convincing himself that all of it had been for his survival. He had vowed to cherish Dallas, to honor her for a lifetime.
