Caleb’s heart plummeted at the sight of her crumpled body and arrested his forward progress in terror. Then she moved—a tiny, weak shift of her head—and he was again in motion, rushing ahead to drop to his knees beside her.His hands roved over her body in search of injuries. But though her clothes bore multiple tears, he saw no blood or ripped skin, only mostly-healed scratches. He wasn’t certain he was able to hear above the pounding of his heartbeat in his ears—or because the dragon’s wail had blown out his eardrums—and tried to wrestle his pulse under control. He brushed tangled hair out of her face. “Alex, baby, any chance you could wake up for me?”At first there was no response. Alarm had begun to creep anew into his chest when she blinked…blinked again…and opened her eyes. Bleary and clouded, confusion flooded them as they darted blindly for several seconds before appearing to finally see him; they widened as she threw her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder.
