Kael managed to find his Alpha by following his scent. He stood at the edge of the malynster water and saw Hiro staring into it. Taking a deep breath, Kael walked down until he was beside him. Hiro didn't look at him or make any move to show that he noticed his presence. He just kept staring into the water with that heavy silence Kael had come to fear.
"I am sorry you had to experience all that today of all days," Kael finally said, his voice low. He had no idea what to say that would ease the weight on his Alpha's chest. Maybe he should have let Stales take his place because talking to anyone else would have been easier. But not Hiro. Not when Kael knew what he had been through.
