Alex had come outside after Brandt went in with Warren. He didn't even ask what had happened. He stood in silence and listened to his mate try to comfort Kai. He went to her then and placed an arm around her.<br/><br/>"Kai.... The only thing you can do is wait.... But... Well... There is something..." He stopped. He was an Alpha, but he didn't know how to say what he was trying to say. "Intimacy...... Intimacy can strengthen the mate bond..... And it might pull him back." He nuzzled Karen and put a hand on Kai's arm to give her reassurance.<br/><br/>Brandt came back out and stretched.<br/>"Man is he heavy. He's out like a light. Hit the bead and instant snores...." Brandt smirked and nodded to his father. "I shoved him over so you'd have room Kai."
