Chapter 60: Shamelessly share his warmth
Wraven claws had a venom which wasn’t toxic but did have harmful effects like paralyzing the skin nerves and making the spot lose its sense of touch.
This would make the infected bleed out until they die because the wound wouldn’t heal. Cedric was also injured but his resistance to poison saved him. Due to the effects of the Venom and the large layers of clothes Abrielle was wearing combined with the strong scent of blood he was covered with it was hard for Cedric to sense the injury.
She was strong because considering how long they had been walking most people would have collapsed from blood loss but yet the weak talentless heiress of the Nightshade family was still awake.
"You are injured behind," Cedric informed Abrielle who was stunned because she didn’t sense anything amidst. She clicked her tongue and the venom severely affected her nervous system.
"I had no idea," she answered truthfully. Cedric sighed and with his hand touching her injured back.."we need to take care of the venom and maybe rest for the night." Cedric answered seeing how much blood she had lost.

The soft crackling sound of the fire flames echoed in front of a couple that was half naked. Abrielle had to remove her clothes to enable him to attend to her wound.
She didn’t trust him but she was out of choices plus the fact she saved his life earlier. Her clothes at her upper layer were completely removed leaving her with just the lower underwear.
Her hands were crossed at her front barely hiding her bosom as it felt uncomfortable to be this bare before him. His heated gaze made her feel fuzzy from the inside.
