Love Goes a Long Way

He nodded and lied down beside her, placing his head down beside his shoulder so that she could lay her head on his paws if she wished. He closed his eyes and began to fall asleep, eyes focused on the ground as he soon turned to her and licked her cheek before closing his eyes again and closing his eyes to sleep once more. He began to dream of his family once more, a nightmare that plagued him all the time and he soon opened his eyes a couple hours later and sighed, only deciding to watch over her for the rest of the night since he was worried that blood would attract attention to other wolves or predators. Blood only trickled down his body and didn't pour this time, something he was grateful for as he placed his head on her back to help keep her safe during the night.
