Where are Ah-nah and Ehl-sah? I touch the furs to make sure my eyes do not deceive me, and then rush to No-rah’s side. “Wake! Ah-nah and Ehl-sah! They are gone—“
    “Mmm,” No-rah says sleepily. She sits up and her tunic falls over her shoulder, exposing most of one full breast. “The babies? Oh, I had Asha take them tonight.”
    “Asha?” I repeat, not sure I have heard correctly. “Hemalo’s Asha?”
    “I don’t think she wants to be his,” No-rah says sleepily. “But yes. Was I asleep? I’m sorry. I was only going to nap for a moment…” Her voice trails off into a yawn. “Man, that was a great nap, though.”
    Relief pours through me and I begin to relax. I sit down next to my mate and rub my face, yawning as well. “I did not see the kits,” I murmur. “I panicked—“
    “It’s all right,” No-rah soothes. Her hands pull at my tunic, undoing the laces, and hers is still hanging low over one shoulder. Her breast gleams pale in the firelight and my cock stiffens in response. Her cool fingers smooth over my skin and my hands ache to touch her.
    Then I notice that her pretty mane is shorn off.
    I gasp, touching her locks. Before, she had yellow hair below her shoulders but now it is gone. Nothing but the soft brown remains. “Your mane!”
    She touches her hair. “Do you like it?”
    “It is gone!”
    Her face falls. “Is that a no?”
    “It is just…why did you cut it?”
    “It was all grown out,” No-rah says, and I do not know what that means. “I didn’t like the way it looked.”
    The look on her face is wary, and I caress her cheek. “You are lovely, no matter what you do to your hair.” I cannot help but eye it thoughtfully. So strange.
    She pats my shoulder and helps me shrug off my filthy tunic. “I’ll wash this for you tomorrow. Are you staying in? The other hunters take a day off every now and then, you know.”
    I think of the big herd of dvisti heading toward the mountains. “I must go out and hunt,” I tell her. “There is a new herd close by and it will be much meat.”
    No-rah sighs. “If you must.” She moves closer to me, and her full breast brushes against my arm. I bite back my groan of lust. It has been many moons since I claimed my mate, but the last thing I want to do is grab at her when she clearly needs sleep. “How about I give you a massage because you’ve been working so hard?”
    “Mah-sashzh?” I do not know this word; I do not even think I can say it.
    She gives me a little, flirty smile. “I’ll rub your back for you. It feels good. And then after that, maybe we’ll play a little.” Her finger trails seductively down my stomach.
    “I like this idea,” I tell her, cock aching. I watch her with fascinated eyes as she gets to her knees and then pats the furs. I lie down and then a moment later, she puts her hands on me.
    And then I cannot help the groan that escapes. As she starts to rub, all the aches and worries of the day ebb. I close my eyes as her hands glide over my skin, pressing against sore muscle and bruised tissue. “I had a good day today,” she says in her soft, sweet voice. “Asha came by and helped me with the babies. I wasn’t sure what to think at first, but I really like her.”
    “Mmm?” My mind is in a pleasant fog, drifting. This is something from a dream - my sweet, sexy mate rubbing her hands on my body, me lying down in the furs as she tends to my aches. Her words continue, but I lose focus. I am so very weary.
    I will just close my eyes for a moment.
NORA
    Well, shit.
    Sexy massage? It backfired. Big time. I gaze down at my mate, who is sound asleep and snoring, his mouth open on my pillow. I…can’t even be mad. He’s so exhausted. Operation: Sexy Time will just have to wait for another day. I lie down on the furs next to him, wrap an arm around his waist, and decide to sneak a nap myself.

    “ I don’t understand it ,” I complain to Asha the next morning as we sort through more tea. She’s
