Her whine all but shattered his heart. He did not mean for her to feel any guilt yet it seemed that he had messed that up in translation somehow. ”No my love do not feel down. We are together yes? Let’s not dwell on the past. Let us look toward the future!” He hopes his voice relays how much he meant it. He wanted to spend every moment from then on in peace and joy. What had happened, happened and he did not want to give it any more power over their lives. ”My love any wolf would not have heard that thief. Blame yourself not.”

Swatting at her he allows himself the luxury of nuzzling her neck, groaning at the feel of her fur. ”I’m so tired my Love. I scent pack on you. Do you think I could come with you?” He really hoped that he could. He was dead on his paws yet he would not sleep away from her. He would not be away from her. Could not. Delving deeping into her eyes he pauses to make sure he has her attention before muttering the words his heart had been screaming for many moons. ”Don’t make me sleep without you. I love you Seraphina.”
