Hiro closed his eyes. He didn't try to argue. He simply leaned forward, burying his face against his knees as his tears continued falling.
Izack remained beside him throughout the night. Even when Hiro eventually became too exhausted to cry anymore, the alpha didn't leave because he knew what it felt like to wake from a nightmare and find yourself completely alone.

Suddenly, a pair of arms reached for his neck, pulling him close.
Izack's eyes widened in confusion as he locked gazes with Hiro. He swallowed hard, the sound echoing in his ears. He could only hope Hiro hadn't heard it.
