#Chapter128
Aftermath
/"We need to get the pack home and talk… all of us. This isn't the place./" I utter softly, caressing his cheek and inhaling him to drown out the smell of what's around us. I can sense his indecision, his lull of logical thought as he swallows this all down. Colton's trying to process but he's unable to when it's so much all at once and all he; s doing is clinging to me like I might implode if he let's go. His breathing heavy by my air and as much as I could stay this way forever after yearning for him for endless days, I really don't want to stay here.
Colton continues to hold onto me, silent and pondering before he scoops me into his arms like a bride and starts carrying me towards the path that leads up and out into the woods. His face says it all, that blank expression yet it doesn't shield the war in his eyes and his lack of verbal response means he just can't right now.
