Eli decided to just shut up and support this poor wolf who was abandoned, he knew the dark side of this world, he was a healer in many noble houses. They would take in male mistresses and ill-treat them... It almost happened to him... His ears immediately drooped at the thought.
Now this poor wolf was going through it too, he was a kind wolf, naive maybe, but kind! He should warn him!
If he hadn't sniffed Riven and confirmed for himself, he would have assumed that the Alpha had roughed him so badly that he was bleeding. The thought made him shudder... He respected the Alpha but if he really did that... He just could not imagine.
"But you are not fine... You just said—" Eli tried to console Riven but he was cut off.
Riven ignored him, fists clenched. "I don't care what he does now. I will not talk to him. He can crawl back and beg, and I won't forgive him."
Elliot had a feeling that wasn't true, but he knew better than to argue.
