Ace and Jun talk for hours, their voices drifting in the quiet of the dimly lit room.
It seems like they had a lot to catch up on, that they didn't realize it themselves.
They don't realize when exhaustion takes over. Their words trail off, their eyelids grow heavy, and eventually, they surrender to sleep right where they are.
The house is silent, save for the occasional rustle of the night breeze slipping through the curtains.
But deep into the night, Jun jolts awake.
A sharp, overwhelming heat pulses through his veins, a sensation so foreign and raw that it steals his breath.
His body feels flushed, his skin too hot, and his senses unbearably heightened.
His wolf stirs violently within him, restless, yearning, clawing at the inside of his chest like it's searching for something_ someone.
A deep ache settles in his bones, an unbearable need curling in his stomach, spreading like wildfire through his limbs.
It's maddening.
