Sophie sighed and gently kissed Leland's forehead. "You're so used to carrying burdens alone that you don't feel like it's good to share them."
"We can talk about this at another time," Leland said. "You're no longer cold, Sophia. So I think it's best that we sleep now."
Sophie pursed her lips and looked him in the eye. Her body was no longer freezing indeed, but she became more aware of Leland's heart and she didn't want to lose this opportunity.
"I've already said a lot." Leland managed a smile. "The fact that I was even able to admit that I'm not strong emotionally… It is a lot for me. Please do not let the Blood River Pack know this."
"Are you sure that you have nothing else that you want to get out of your chest?" Sophie asked again.
The Alpha shook his head. "Maybe next time, Sophia."
