He watched her go. He didn't feel hurt by it. He knew it was hard for her. He was part of Warren, still her mate. But he was the part most never saw. He stood after she left. He paced for a moment then gathered his strength and shifted. He swayed on two feet for a moment before the other man steadied him.<br/><br/>"Easy there Warren.... Are you sure you should be standing?" Brandt voiced the concern in his eyes as he held Warrens shoulder with a steadying hand.<br/><br/>"I'm fine....." His human voice was gruff. He was a cat, not used to speaking.... He waited a moment then slowly walked after Kai. He wanted to offer what little comfort he could. To prove to her he was still the mate she knew, just a little different.<br/><br/>Karen had followed Kai. She stayed a respectful distance back. She just wanted to keep an eye on her future daughter. Her wolf purred at that thought. Having such a strong female as her daughter was an honor few could claim. They froze as Warren slowly ambled past them. He was slow and she saw the strain in his body. She wanted to stop him but her wolf huffed at her, telling her to leave him be. He was going to his mate. As any distressed mate would. Seeking his other half to comfort him and give comfort to. She turned and went back to the cave. Brandt stood at the entrance looking out at them.<br/><br/>"They are fine son. Let's go ready the food." Shed lead him back inside.<br/><br/>Warren found her starring blankly at the night sky. Luna bathed her in a pale glow. She mindlessly fiddled with a long strand of hair. He had to admit, she was a beautiful human. He went up to her and hugged her from behind. Just holding her form to his. He laid his head on her shoulder and spoke to her.<br/><br/>"He will come back.... He will realize you need him.... It might take time.... But he'd come for you.... Just as you would for him...... Your wolf is like me.... She is separate..... You may have never noticed... But she has been with you since birth. You're never alone. She guides your instincts, your more primitive side. If you try, you and she can speak....... She knows you, and you know her, even if only subconsciously. I am your mate..... Just another half of him. Everything he felt for you I do too...." His voice cracked and he stopped talking. He hopped she could accept him for him...... Another side of her mate....
