Aubrey’s smile froze, and for a moment all she could hear was the sudden quickening of her own heartbeat. As a sharp–sensed alpha werewolf, she could read the slightest emotional tremors in the air. Yet Leon’s words carried such simple, untainted feeling that they caught her completely off guard.

His clear voice rang out again, steady this time.

“I feel like you prefer a life that’s simple and free. I don’t have much to offer… except that I like you. And that feeling is simple.”

Aubrey looked up and met his eyes. His youthful smile was tinted with shyness, and in the fading sunset he seemed to glow with a gentle warmth. She could even smell the clean, sun- washed scent of grass on him, something that, to a wolf like her, carried a strangely soothing pull.

She parted her lips to speak, but before she could, Leon pressed a finger lightly against them. His laugh was soft, almost playful.

“You don’t have to answer right away. And you don’t need to feel burdened. I just hope that my liking you can be as simple as sunlight chasing the breeze, or a sail yearning for the sea. If you need me, I’ll be here. If you don’t… I’ll still be here. As someone you can always trust.”

On the drive back, Aubrey’s lips curved faintly. Leon’s words had lightened her heart. His feelings carried none of the calculation or pressure that filled so much of wolf society–only something pure, free of weight, that made her feel unexpectedly at ease.
