âThank you, Rock.â
âIâm putting my trust in you. I will pinch off your wet nose if you try anything.â
Did he hear her warning? She heard his tail whipping across the makeshift bed.
Ultimately, Rock fell asleep first that night.
After all, she went to sleep in the luxuriously furry arms of a fluffy werewolf. In addition to the ultimate comfort of being surrounded by the softest fur, her wariness easily fell before her accumulating fatigue. It wasnât possible to support her eyelids from rapidly weighing shut.
To top it off, Ebel was gently stroking her hair the whole time. Using his sharp claws in the place of a brush, he combed them smoothly through her hair. Was it the sleepiness pressing down on her that made Rock not only not hate what he was doing, but even enjoy it?
âThe first night I became a werewolf, I fell asleep alone on top of the cold floor,â he said, beginning to narrate his past in a quiet voice while he played with her hair. âAfter all, Father had fallen to pieces⦠He was in such a bad state Ludovicus had to force strong ale down his throat. They quarantined me in fear of me going on a wild rampage, and I spent the night isolated. I returned to being a man the next morning, making that the only night I felt that helpless, butâ¦â
Adrift in partial sleep, Rock listened to his story.
âI couldnât stop myself from remembering the fears that tormented me that night.â Joy colored his voice even though he was talking about a painful memory. âI was saved this time by your presence. Thank youâ¦â
Satisfaction filled her at the sound of his voice. She didnât know why. She just wanted Ebel to be happy and optimistic like his usual self.
There was still so much she didnât know about him. Perhaps the real Ebel trembled from old, scarring memories all the time. Even if that were the case, she couldnât stop from wishing that his melancholy woes would be washed clean, leaving only his smile tomorrow.
Until now, she only ever felt that way about her mother and Phoebe.
âI hope you have a good tomorrow,â Rock whispered into Ebelâs chest on her way to deep sleep.
Although they were not yet lovers, the couple slept on top of the makeshift bed in an affectionate embrace.
