He knew his vow wouldn't keep away all of her nightmares, but he hoped it would help in some way. Also, you can always talk to me about anything. Anytime. I'm always available to packmates. His expression softened a little, filling with sincerity as he spoke. He truly meant every word. He would hate to think any of his packmates were uncomfortable coming to him about anything.
