Kai fell asleep almost immediately after coming to bed, but I am still wide awake. There was no way I would sleep after seeing what I did.

The image of Kai’s lifeless eyes staring up at me is fresh in my mind. For now, I’m content with watching him sleep; he looks so peaceful. The permanent scowl on his face was eased out and replaced with a sleepy frown.

His mouth was slightly open, and every now and then, it looked like he was chewing something in his dream. In short, the big bad Alpha was gone and replaced with this adorable man.

I reach up and touch his face, spying on his wolf as he slept but noticing that although he might seem peaceful as he slept, inside, he was an anxious mess. His wolf paced up and down, then stopped before pacing again.

Was Kai worried about something? Would he tell me what was on his mind?

I sigh, then lean forward and place a kiss on his forehead. Our mate bond would be solidified
