CHAPTER SEVEN

The sun had risen by the time Caim had finished burying the wolves. The work was beneath him, but he would not leave any of his own pack on the edge of the territory alone. Not surprisingly, he finished the duty undisturbed, and then headed back to the den.

There was an undercurrent of unease among the pack. All of the wolves congregated in the central cavern, with the exception of Sable, who had disappeared, and Rose and Gem, who were with his mate. He let Lotus do most of the talking. Unlike Caim, she was good at such things, which was presumably why Asch had left her in his stead.

Initially he’d been actively engaged in the discussions. Fighting was what Caim was made for, and it had been too long since he’d seen a real battle. He cared little about the potential casualties, and would be sorely disappointed if the cats did not attack.

But as the morning wore into afternoon, Caim grew bored and his thoughts began to wander to his mate. It was impossible for them not to. Her scent was all around the den, standing out in sharp contrast to those of his pack. The faint tendrils teased at his nostrils, making him crave more of her.

When the discussions began to run in circles, Caim was the first to take his leave. They could talk strategy well into the evening for all he cared. If there was a fight, he would be ready regardless. In the meantime he would find his mate and rest.

She was already sleeping when he found her, curled up between Gem and Rose. He tried to look at the sight objectively and appreciate it as a male, but it was no use. Although the thrall had ended over a week past, his regard for his mate had not been diminished, but had only intensified.

The females were easy enough to pry off of her, barely rousing as he extracted her from their hold. He told himself that it was because they were familiar with his scent, and not due to negligence on their parts, that they handed her over to him without resistance. He would address this later.

With one arm under her legs and the other supporting her neck, he drew her into his arms, placing her head against his chest. He grabbed one of the furs from the bed, securing it around her bare form. As he stood, she stirred, blinking up at him with bleary eyes.

“You are not permitted to sleep apart from me,” he told her as he exited the room. She smiled, giving him an affectionate look before closing her eyes again.

“Don’t make me wait next time.”

She turned her face into his chest. Caim could see her nostrils flare as she inhaled his scent. The small gesture aroused him. She was developing many wolf-like qualities, most notably her new habit of biting, which he enjoyed in the proper context. He tried not fuel his desires with thoughts of her blunt teeth raking over his flesh.
