Warren paused and dried his hands. He turned to her and held her hand again. It was a simple act, but it soothed him, and he hoped it soothed her as well.<br/><br/>"I am old Kai. I have learned patience in my long life. Take as long as you need..... But I must warn you, in a few days we have to leave. The hunter had friends waiting. They will come here when he fails to check in. I know who hired them now though...... I will find you a safe place..... I know a pack not too far..... They trust me. You will be safe there. I need you safe...... Because I will find the man that is after me. I will end it. Then we can be safe....." He rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb, making small circles as he thought about what he had to do.
