"I'm awake now."
Hugo took a deep breath as he instantly discerned the sadness in her voice. But instead of barging in, he took a step back and walked away.
'Did I go too far last night?' he wondered while scratching the back of his head. 'I don't think so. I didn't pin her down even though I was aroused last night.'
He convinced himself that her ever-changing mood had nothing to do last night. He behaved, after all. Soon, he reached the dining hall of the inn they were staying at. His eyes immediately caught his people from the corner table, having breakfast before they set out.
"Alpha!" Kieran raised a hand as soon as he noticed him. Everyone around the table also turned their head in Hugo's direction, watching him strut his way towards them. Yet none of them moved as Hugo dragged a seat and sat close to their table.
Hugo cocked his head back, sliding on the wooden chair until he was almost lying. "What's wrong with her?" he mumbled.
