Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 47: White Silence
Tom woke up to white. This time, there was pain everywhere. Almost immediately he closed his eyes again as the light made it hurt. The wolf just took a deep breath. The pain felt familiar. His hands still hurt, as did his chest. However, it felt soft,...
