Horen woke slowly. He was warm and he was confused. He looked around and recognized Katie's room. He then noticed the vixen laying on his chest. He moved her gently then shifted to his wolf form. He curled around her and kept alert. His mind was still a mess. But his heart told him she was his to protect. So he stayed there quietly and looked around. His ears flicked to and fro to catch every sound. Dawns light had just begun to light the room.<br/><br/>He looked out the window onto the white fields. It was beautiful to his eyes. That was his last thought before pain racked his body. He yelped and jumped from the bed falling to the floor.<br/><br/>The bond was leaking pain to him.... And he whined and spasmed as wave after wave hit him. He forced his way through the bond and tried to soith his mate..... Draco was once again torturing her for her secrets. He gave her his strength and bore her pain. After a time Draco tired of his sport and sent her back to her cage. He trembled as his body shook with the aftershocks of pain. He didn't realize he'd shifted again to his humanoid form until he spoke aloud and in his bond.<br/><br/>"I will come for you my dragon..... I will stop him....." His voice shook from the way he shivered. It was a low whining tone.
