TONIA'S POV
Samantha proved herself an excellent caretaker during my recovery.
Without any Wolf physicians available in Veridia's human territory, Samantha became my sole medical attendant for the wounds inflicted upon me.
Her bedroom served as my makeshift recovery room, where I positioned myself before the vanity mirror, confronting my damaged reflection.
His claws had carved a vicious path across my face, starting beneath my hairline and trailing down to my left eye's corner. The gash appeared severe, and I desperately hoped it would fade with time.
My left eye had already begun developing an ominous dark bruise.
By dawn, swelling would certainly follow.
Fury coursed through me, directed at myself and this entire wretched situation.
Samantha approached with medical supplies she had procured, carefully applying bandages over my torn flesh.
"Are you feeling any relief?" Her voice carried unusual softness, attempting to conceal her own distress.
