Epperly finally fell asleep in my arms. She cried for two straight hours. I don't blame her but it's hard to watch my mate in so much pain, knowing I can only do so much. She fought against me when I tried to pusher calming waves to her but thankfully I won.
I started to whisper random thoughts I had about her into her ear as I ran a hand through her long dark hair. Now she is finally sleeping. I held her close to me still. I'm not ready to let her go yet. Not after everything we just read.
When Epperly had first told me about this part of her life I was already pretty angry. Kohen was furious at that time. It took a lot to calm him down. Our mate didn't go into a lot of detail and at the time I was thankful. But this... This was not what I was expecting at all.
How could these people
