It has been two weeks since the day Simone was raped, and I got a letter from a very curious Luna. I still have not marked Simone because of difficulties not only with her, but with myself. First, I don't want to scare my mate or bring her anymore pain. I have said in the past that the only time I'd hurt her was in training, and yet when I go to inject medicine into her arm, all hell broke loose. So, I wasn't sure if marking her was such a good idea.
Second, there has been rogue attacks on my borders day and night that I've had to see to, which means I must leave Simone home with either Corey or Thrain. My mate was hesitant at first but started to warm up again after a few more rounds of chess. When she's asleep, I make sure to keep them right outside the door in case anything happens again. Fortunately, nothing has.
