The silence was killing him. Gabe wasn't here and the room was quiet. No extra heartbeat, no soft breathing, no warm body against his.

Rolling over to stare out the windows, hugging Gabe's pillow to his chest, slowly breathing his mate's scent. Scud was off doing something, Zane and Tam were dealing with whatever, Ray was kiddified at the moment. He'd had a momentary thought of letting Ella sleep in here tonight, but he wasn't going to take a chance of hurting her if he had a nightmare.

It was going to be hell if he did have one. Gabe wasn't here to wake him up and calm him down afterwards. If things didn't go well...

Growling angrily at his thoughts, he hits the bed and then buries his face in the pillow. He was fucking stupid, weak and too damn codependent. It was only going to be a few fucking days.

He could be alone that long.

He could.
