Kieran POV
I had difficulty sleeping last night. My wolf, Karr, was loud in my mind all night. He was so elated to be sleeping beside our mate that he couldn't calm down. I am just glad that Mae couldn't hear the ridiculousness that was going on in my mind.
She is sleeping soundly beside me. Her face is nuzzled into my chest and I can feel her soft breaths fanning against my skin. The tingles from the bond between us are soothing, and I want to drift back to sleep.
I close my eyes, meaning to only rest them for a few moments before starting my day. I feel like my eyes have only been closed for a second when my alarm goes off. Reaching around Mae, I turn off the alarm. She stirs slightly in my arms, but she doesn't wake. Mae rolls away from my body and curls up under the covers
