The Alpha and Luna of Summer enjoyed their time together, but all too soon, that time ended.
Caleb got dressed as Ashleigh watched from the bed. He could feel her trying to mask her worry.
He smiled back at her.
“It actually feels kind of good,” he said.
“What?” she asked.
He gave her a lopsided grin and a chuckle.
“Knowing that you’re worried about me,” he said.
Ashleigh rolled her eyes and laid back in bed.
“It’s annoying and frustrating,” she sighed, pulling a pillow over her face.
Caleb watched with amusement as she pouted. He moved to the bed and sat beside her, gently pulling away her pillow. He smiled and stroked her cheek.
“I know,” he whispered. “That’s exactly how I felt the entire time we were in Moonguard.”
Ashleigh glanced up at him with surprise.
“I didn’t know that,” she said. “Why were you worried? You were right there with me.”
“I know,” Caleb nodded, “and I could feel the confidence that gave you.”
