CHAPTER SIX

BAD REACTIONS...

SAM WASN'T SURE what time it was. Laying on the floor, Nafarius snoring softly beside her, she stared up into the dark. Her internal clock told her it was early, the sun not even up. It was time to go.

Untangling herself, she slipped out from under the blankets and reached for her jeans.

They had spent the night making love, coming together again and again, experiencing each other in ways both old and new. They had laughed, Nafarius showing a silly side she'd never seen and he didn't know he possessed. Their last release tumbling them into each others arms and into sleep.

"Were you going to say goodbye?" His voice came low, barely above a whisper, preserving the intimacy of the night.

Dressing quickly, she knelt on the floor beside him. "I would have woken you."

Nafarius searched her face, saw that she spoke the truth. "It's early. Stay for breakfast..."

Sam shook her head. "I think it's best I leave before the rest of the pack wakes."

"Sam..."

"Walk me out?" she asked, cutting off any objections.

Nafarius nodded. Rising, he slipped into a pair of jeans and watched as she gathered her things.

It didn't take her long. There was little that was hers. Her day pack had been salvaged along with a few of her MREs. "I'm ready," she said.

Nafarius didn't say anything, just led her through the den and outside.

Sam tipped her head back and stared up at the sky. The night was almost over, black lightening to purple gray. She watched as several stars disappeared in the coming light. "I'm going to miss the stars," she said. "It's too bright in the city to see most of them."

"You could stay," he said.

Sam looked at him, smiled.

Reaching out, he brushed a stray lock of hair from her face, tucked it behind her ear. "You sure you don't want me to send someone with you? It's a hard walk out."

"I'll be alright." Sam shifted her pack, settled it more securely on her back. "Oh, can you give this to Maddie?" She handed him a note. "I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye."

"She'll appreciate that." Nafarius tucked the note into his pocket.

"Well, I guess this is it," she said, in no hurry to leave.

"Take care of yourself," he whispered.

"You too." Sam stood up on tiptoe, pressed a quick kiss to his cheek.

Nafarius watched as she walked to the edge of the clearing, turning at the last minute to wave before slipping between the trees.

Roland stepped out from the mouth of the den. "You're letting her go?"

"Yes," Nafarius said.

"Is that wise?" Roland asked automatically. He was surprised to realize that he wasn't worried that Sam would share their secret.

Nafarius stared at the place where Sam had disappeared. "Depends on who you ask."

No, no, noooooo! Inside, his wolf howled.

"I'm asking you," said Roland.

Nafarius cut his beta a look before turning to go inside.
