Connor handled everything, even the issue with the bone shard much better than I can image most would; of course, the mating pull may have helped more than anyone realized. I think that once Connor accepted that Kellar could heal the ewe, he was better able to accept all the rest of it. I am sort of surprised that Hugh did not go all wolf and leave at a dead run going after the man that hurt his mate. Wolves are very protective of their mates.
Can't wait for the next chapter, keep up the good work.
