Axel had been sitting at his desk for half the night.
After the Wild Hunt had come to an end. As most of Winter slunk off to their beds to enjoy the full moon with their mates or dream of when they could. Axel had walked through the trees for a long time.
He had looked up at the moon and felt a weight in his heart.
In the end, he found himself sitting at his desk, staring at the small circle at the top of his computer. Wondering if just maybe she was on the other end, looking back at him.
But somehow, he knew he was alone.
When the morning light began to stream through the windows of his office he had moved to the couch. He sat for a while and when that didn’t change his mood, he laid down and closed his eyes, letting the weariness in his heart settle over him.
“Every year, our Alpha gives this flower to our Luna. And this year will be no different,” Axel smiled. Looking out amongst the wolves of Winter. They all looked to him with trust and pride.
