Chapter 513: Familial 'Love' (4)

Watching as Inik thudded against the sand from that swift one two combo that Aethisia had given her, I felt my heart clench uncomfortably at seeing my lover in pain - even if she sort of deserved it for what she had said, when she had said it.

Still though, it wasn't sothing I wanted to see happen, especially not when it might have done so damage not only to her handso face, but more importantly to that pride that I had found so endearing to the point of giving her all she wanted in bed...

That was what was worrying

right now, since a blow to her pride and an attack on who she was and what she 'offered' to

in the form of her confidence to keep

safe might be rather detrintal to her ntality going forwards.

Which was why I had already made my way forwards to kneel beside her, my mana already seeping out of my fingers and burrowing into her bruising jaw and temple, jolting the Hawkkin awake as she gasped and sat up quickly, her instinct to assess the danger around herself causing her to grab one of my hands and pull

closer, so that her other fist would have leverage to drive itself straight into my gut.

But, she stopped herself a mont before she did punch , her eyes slowly focusing as she panted beside , before she let out a sigh and a groan as I gently tapped her cheek.

"Are you alright, Inik? Does it hurt anywhere else?"

Fussing over her jaw and temple still, I paused for a brief mont as the Hawkkin sighed again to mutter "I'm fine, Kalia... I'm fine.
