I went to her and lay down beside her.
Whatever she was feeling, however turbulent her situation might be, I wanted to be her comfort. That was the role of a fated mate. Not only in strength and protection, but in quiet moments like this.

Only when I was certain she had fallen into a deep sleep did I slowly slip away from her side.
I returned to the front and took the co-driver's seat beside Rafe. Lucian had stretched out on the couch, resting, while Roman and Jason were in the small kitchen area preparing lunch.
For once, Rafe did not look smug or amused. His brows were drawn together, his attention fixed intently on the road ahead.
"She's alright," I said quietly, hoping to ease whatever weighed on him.
