“Ya. Now that I feel calmer and know everyone is safe, I’m sleepy.”
“Everyone is safe,” he repeated to emphasize that prime factor. “Thanks to you, our pack is protected.”
“I’m not doing anything,” I noted, but he shook his head.
“I heard Ruby say that the town only showed up because you landed upon the territory. I’m not sure if it was truly an accident on Loki’s part since we’re not sure about the fine details as to how you landed here, but Ruby said they wouldn’t have known how close you were otherwise. We couldn’t track you, and the protective grid was still up.”
I tried not to yawn, but it escaped my lips that grew wide.
“A lot of shit went down when I was kidnapped, huh?” I summed up.
“Ya,” he agreed, and from the sound of his voice, he was tired too. “I could use a nap as well. Haven’t enjoyed one of those in a while.”
“Fifteen-minute nap?” I offered.
That made him smirk as he kissed me. “Fifteen minutes, but if Willa comes out to play, I’m screwed. I don’t have enough energy for your wild self.”
“Says the one who’s probably more menacing than my crazy side,” I mumbled while cozying up to him. “I think my side of crazy and your side of sinister soul-eating would really get along.”
“Agreed.”
It was quiet for a few seconds, and I was beginning to drift when Saint asked, “What were you dreaming about before, Willow?”
I had the intention of answering, but as my words left my mouth in response, they didn’t seem to make much sense. The gibberish included the words sex, party, and creamy milk.
Clearly, my mind is somewhere else.
There was no strength left in me to keep fighting the need to sleep, and the layer of warmth that covered me up only encouraged my drift towards slumber.
Prickles of fear tried to make their way to the surface as if to try to remind me what had frightened me when I first woke up, but then there was a soft melody - a humming sound that followed the notes of a soothing ballad.
There was no way of figuring out what exact tune it was, but the song chased the claws of fears away while inviting happy memories that followed me into the realms of dreams.
This was only the beginning of survival, but with a bit of rest, I knew we’d be ready to conquer the next step towards domination.
