Let's Try This Again

Finally, Allen stepped forward and allowed him to hold him. Bass greedily took in his scent, tainted with the strange touch of this new pack. This wasn't how his friend was supposed to smell, he was supposed to smell just like Abaven. His home. Something that he had so foolishly blocked from him, kept him away because of a grudge. Allen wasn't getting any younger, and Bass couldn't even imagine ever losing him over this. He almost had. For so long he had made this man wait, but he did just that. Waiting. That is how he knew that he was a true friend, even after everything he still wanted to come home. That was an undying friendship, something that Bass had been taking for granted.

Allen's words made him choke up as well, and he closed his eyes to fight back the dampness that was starting to form. He clung to the older man with desperation, not wanting to let him go. "Good, because I don't think I could take losing you again." He whispered. When Allen asked if he should call for the alpha he nodded, eyes opening as they broke apart. He had forgotten about that, he had to get Allen and his family released before he could just take them home. Bass was just far too excited to get him home. "I've changed a few things up, but we can talk about that later."
