Nesta panted, trying to keep quiet as she dragged her mate by the shoulder straps built into all Illyrian armor. She winced as Cassian’s already mangled wings were pulled beneath his body. She’d tried to wrap them around him, settling them on his stomach, but they were both bleeding far too much. Once they were inside the cave, she fell to the ground, exhausted from so much physical exertion and blood loss. Her leg shook. It felt so cold and wet, covered in blood from the wound on her upper thigh. Cassian, the idiot, had jumped in front of her to try and prevent the wound, but it’d only resulted in the animal being able to bite both of them. Cassian had been injured worse, the animal had barely bit into Nesta before he was there, tackling the thing to the ground. It had been so dark neither of them had been able to see what had attacked them. They knew this route was dangerous, but it was the safest way for them to sneak into Autumn to see Eris. When the sun rose, the stark red blood melting into the snowy landscape would lead him right to them. Nesta just had to make it until morning.
