Logan winced at his little mate's stirring, hating that he had disturbed her even as he froze and prayed she would slumber on. His prayers remained unheard though as she clung tighter to him and begged him to stay instead. It tugged mightily on his heartstrings as the wolf inside whined, demanding that he stay and obey.
He had obligations though, to his pack, his alpha, and yes even to his mate. With a heavy heart but a bright smile, Logan carefully attempted to peel his sweet Lorelai off him and tuck her back into bed.
"I'll be back soon, Little Flower. I just need to get a few things for our home here. Sleep and I'll be back before you wake."
Unable to contain himself, he leaned down and pressed a chaste kiss to her brow. Just one more before he left, he consoled himself. The human in him rolled its eyes at the absurdity of carrying on as if he was going to war. He just wanted to get some supplies, talk to his Alpha. It wouldn't take more than a few moments after all.
