Rowan remained unusually quiet right until the moment we got into bed together. He lay next to me, his arms wrapped around my waist but he had never felt further away.
It was a long time before the exhaustion took over me but soon enough I awoke, my eyes flying open.
I frowned when I realized that it was still dark outside, and that the space behind me was empty. The clock read half past two and outside, the night was completely silent. There were no birds chirping, or crickets in the distance and that worried me.
I dragged myself out of bed, following Rowan's scent out the house and towards the back door. It was left ajar and footsteps led out into the trees at the back of the house. Judging by the folded clothes left neatly by the door, he had shifted.
With a sigh, I pulled off my clothes, letting my wolf take over as I trotted slowly into the darkness after him.
