Ulf met Alarian's gaze briefly worried that perhaps the wolf wouldn't like him so much anymore. That he might find him dumb for getting lost from his original group.

Yet the sour words he had expected to hear - or the rough snap of teeth he anticipated to meet his flesh - never came.

He took in a much-needed breath of air and had he not been on his back, it would have been obvious that a shiver ran down his spine at such comforting words. Ulf knew he shouldn't have doubted the kindness of Alarian. It hadn't faltered so far, why should it now? His eyes closed again as he leaned into Alarian's touch. No leaving, He murmured in return.
