Bearclaw Valley glossy teeth

She was tired, hurting, and worried; now she could add irritated to the list because instead of letting her do her job her mate and father-in-law were ordering her around and deciding for her who needed to be treated first.

Worry overwhelmed her instead.

Merrick encouraged him to stay awake, and Arielle licked the part of his face that wasn't torn up. It's only a little bit farther to the den, she told him softly, her anger from before gone. The were others in Ursus with only minor injuries; they could help her move him. She would insist that Merrick follow them too so she could treat his wounds, as well.
