I woke up before her.

The sun hadn’t fully risen yet; only a soft silver light poured in from the window, touching her skin like it worshipped her.

She lay against me, her hair sprawled across the pillow, her lashes dark against her cheeks.

I didn’t know what I had done in this life to deserve waking up beside her, but I knew one thing for certain: I never wanted to lose this.

I gave a small shrug. “I don’t know. Maybe.

Only time will tell. But for now, I want to take care of everything else first: Honey, the pack, my role–before I even think about worrying for myself.”

There was a brief moment of silence before Arden cupped my face and said firmly, “Then I’ll be the one to worry for you.”
