Ravyn caught Daisy just as her knees buckled, lifting her into his arms with a roar already tearing from his chest.

The metallic scent of blood hung thick in the air, sharp and undeniable, igniting his instincts. He turned sharply, prepared to rush her straight to the hospital wing, when Daisy’s trembling fingers clutched at his collar.
