Aftermath

Blaze's pov

           I held him tightly, stroking his hair and consoling him with everything in me. He clung to me tightly, trembling and crying his eyes out. This was the mate I knew, the one my wolf was smitten with, the one who pulled me in from a single glance. 

The confident, ruthless labyrinth who had just killed someone was nowhere in sight. In his place was my meek mate, the one who I was already falling in love with.

I had a feeling that ruthless part of him was still inside of him, waiting to be unleashed again. I silently wondered if it would make me a bad mate if I still wanted him to let out that part of himself again, not right now, but definitely later.

Right now, I was more concerned with getting him to stop crying. I wasn't sure he remembered all that just happened some minutes ago, how he managed to unlock his powers by himself like I always believed he would.
