you and i alone

Novella was always on his mind, her safety, her presence, her beauty. It didn't matter, but she had come to be a giant part of his life and he would have it no other way. Smiling at her softly as she answered him though he could only find himself nodding, and hiding a chuckle that tried to escape at her statement. "Is that a jab at me, ma'am?" He had to ask as the trotted along leisurely. Though he really didn't doubt the fact that there were no other wolves awake. It was likely their children were sleeping in and while he couldn't account for the rest of the pack they could have been too for all he knew. It was a rather delightful practice. "you know sleeping in isn't really bad for you every once in a while," He'd tell her, kind of missing morning snuggles with his wife.
