I had never been around a tired Alpha before - not the sort of tired that Alpha Walker was as I attempted to get him to rest again.
He yawned, and held me a little closer; it was adorable. He was exhausted, and making barely any sense, but the things he was saying made my heart swell.
I didn’t need him to tell me that I was yearning for him, but he wasn’t really telling me. He was tired, and saying everything that came to his mind, and the fact that I was his Mate, and that I was aching for him, were things he couldn’t ignore. I didn’t really want to stop moving; the way his body felt pressed against my back was pleasant, and reassuring, and if I was confident that we wouldn’t end up going in completely the wrong direction, I would have been happy to stay on the horse with him sleeping
