"What happened to your back?" Torak asked Jedrek when they were in the corridor, following the scent of their mates, who apparently stayed in the same place, just exactly what he had asked them.
Meanwhile Kace was walking ahead of Torak and Jedrek, he was in a rush to be with Hope.
"Nothing." Jedrek didn't even glance at Torak when he answered that.
"Nothing?" Torak repeated his answer, raising his brows questioningly. "There must be something wrong if your wounds didn't heal properly."
There was a long gash on Jedrek's neck that couldn't be covered by the cloak that he was wearing. Probably, there might be some other wound on him that Torak couldn't see.
"It will heal soon." Jedrek brushed off Torak's question and quickened his pace.
Torak didn't believe it. He caught up with Jedrek and stared at the wound again, but his older brother adjusted the collar around his neck and concealed it.
