Preston was a bit surprised that Jaymus had willingly played with him.  He'd assumed he'd have to tie a steak around his neck to interest the younger man, if that would even work but Jaymus tackling him had his wolf soaring with happiness.  He nudged back and even rolled in the grass with him, hoping maybe he'd finally let him close.   He never lost sight of the rest of the pack though.  Tonight was the Alpha and Luna's night and he wanted to give them the freedom of running together without worrying someone was going to get hurt.<br/><br/>He had just leaned down, getting ready to pounce on Jay when the wolf yelped and took off like a bullet.  He was so fast it made Preston's head spin and it took a moment for him to realize that his mate was headed straight for their Luna and that a twig had fallen from the branch above.  For a moment, he believed Jaymus had seen a real threat and his body was tense as he snapped his head around looking for danger.  Realizing what the trouble seemingly was, he relaxed, but stayed at the back of the pack to ensure everyonmade his back safely.<br/><br/>His own nerves were fried, but when he shifted, he put on a smile and walked up to the others, dropping his arm around Jay's shoulder.  He's glad no one was upset at Jaymus, and even if it was funny to others he was still having a difficult time calming down.  He really needed to chill out.  "At least the Gamma is on his toes however.  Seems the Luna is definitely safe in his hands."  He tilted his head in a bow at the Alpha and Luna .  "If you'll excuse me."  He gives him another tight smile before heading off towards the main pack house.  There's always work to be done.
