His warmth seeped into her body, keeping out the cold that surrounded her. The motion of his smooth strides rocked her to sleep. Her eyelids lowered as she grew more dull and sluggish. She slipped to one side. A sense of falling startled her, and she yanked his fur. “Stay awake,” Cathen snapped at her for the third time in less than an hour. Tears welled in her eyes, clouding her vision. She struggled to swallow. Her hunger had grown more intense in the past two hours, air pained the pit of her tummy. She couldn’t help that every part of her ached and all she wanted to do was sleep. “We are nearly in Tirano. There, I’ll find us a place to spend the night.” His pace remained brisk but even. Not another night away from the pack. With his sharp edge and need, she didn’t think she could bear much more from him. It was one thing for his behavior to change toward her when she had paired with VanWolf, but to so coldly claim her to his bed was incomprehensible to her. Her tears burned the corners of her heart.
