The moment I felt Eva's body trembling against mine, my wolf went still. Then the tremble turned into violent shaking, and her breath started coming out in short, panicked gasps.
Her fingers clawed at the sheets, her knuckles turned pale, and then... she screamed. A sound so raw and full of terror it ripped straight through my chest.
I sat up instantly, pulling her into my arms. "Eva-Eva, it's me. You are safe, love. You are safe with me." My voice cracked as I spoke, but I didn't care. I tried to rub circles on her back the way I had seen Draven do when she was anxious, but nothing seemed to reach her.
Her eyes were squeezed shut, and tears were sliding down her cheeks. Her lips were moving but no words came out... just silent pleas only she could hear.
