Luc awoke to a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time, one that soothed his soul and calmed the inner static that had become his constant companion over the years. That feeling was peace.

Cassiel’s little cabin sat in utter shadow, completely silent other than the sounds of people and dogs breathing in the night. The stillness of the forest outside assisted in blanketing the world in a hush he had never experienced. His head—usually so loud as the emotions and pulses of the world bored down on him—had little more than a whisper of input dancing inside it. Barely anything, really. Such a change, considering he’d run from his pack mere hours ago because the level had been more like a scream. This wasn’t true silence inside his mind—that was something he doubted he would ever find—but it was tolerable. A buzz instead of a chainsaw, a breath instead of a freight train. Totally bearable. What he wouldn’t give to live with that level of sound in his head all the time.

Luc’s wolf stretched inside his mind, luxuriating in their new reality, no matter how short it might be, both man and beast rested and refreshed. And unable to resist the woman underneath them.

Cassiel must have fallen asleep holding Luc, her legs around his hips and his head on her breasts. Her weight rested on one of his hands, his arm tucked underneath her waist. Her arms wrapped around his shoulders as if to hold him closer. Such a comfortable position for Luc, so intimate for both of them to be touching all over. He liked her holding him this way. Enough to move slightly up her body. To take advantage of their position to sniff. To investigate the woman a little more.

And sniff, he did. He downright nuzzled into her neck, breathing her in. Growling softly under his breath as he immersed himself in the scent of her. Warm and bright, like a flower field on a summer day, her unique smell enveloped him in a sense of connection, a feeling of attraction beyond any he’d ever experienced. But beyond the floral was a scent he knew instinctually. One he’d caught a whiff of before but that was so weak, most of his kind would have missed it.

Wolf. Shifter. Omega.

As his wolf’s growl came from deep within his chest, Cassiel moved slightly, a response to him, it seemed. Her next exhale rumbled a tiny bit, just enough to be heard. So much quieter than his, smoother and frail as well, but the telltale language of their kind was there. Weak but not dead.

The pull Luc had been feeling toward Cassiel increased, sending a vibration skittering up his spine. A feeling of need filling his chest. He sniffed again, scenting everything about her. Bringing her essence deep within himself. Focusing hard on the beast within her. The one he could only barely sense. The animal was weak, insipid and feeble, but there. And it was responding to him. It recognized him as one of its own.
