California Dreamin'

For once his sleep had been quiet and dreamless. He wasn't sure if having Mercy's form against him for most of the night kept his nightmares away or if it was just the utter exhaustion from his combined sleepless nights and the workout from the night before. Gethin's chest rose and fell evenly and calmly while he slept until something pulled him awake. Her sob made his ears flick and he began to stir, his ruby gaze blinking open. He slowly lifted his head, still groggy as his eyes fell on Mercy's frame. His brows pulled together when he saw her with her legs over her face, obviously crying. "Mercy?" he asked with confusion and concern, his voice still rough from sleep. He shifted closer to her and reached to gently nose her cheek, hoping she might come out from under her own paws. "Mercy, what's wrong?" Everything had seemed perfect the night before. What had happened between now and then? Had he done something? He wasn't typically the most caring wolf, and even now he wasn't stricken with worry over her crying, but he was pretty partial to this pale beauty now and this certainly wasn't what he had hoped to wake up to. |
