Voren woke up instantly, his senses snapping to full alert. The first thing he noticed was that the bed beneath them was completely soaked.
A chill hung in the air throughout the room, but intense heat radiated from the woman still wrapped in his arms.
It wasn't normal warmth—Seraphine's body felt like it was burning up from the inside. Her brows were tightly knitted in distress as she tossed and turned restlessly, struggling against something only she could see in whatever nightmare gripped her.
Every few seconds her hands clenched the sheets like she was fighting for her life.
Voren's heart clenched hard at the sight. The shaman's instructions came rushing back to him in a flash. Without wasting another second, he carefully lifted Seraphine into his arms.
