Tristan paused as their eyes met as if time had stopped.
It was like a surreal dream and he didn't know how to react until he pulled him closer into his embrace.
The familiar scent sent him back to reality and he hugged him back. Tears cloud his eyes as he inhaled his scent and clung to him like he was the last solid entity to ever exist.
He pulled back and stared at him with sad eyes. The Alpha face was gaunt and looked tired. But the spark within his eyes made Tristan smile a little.
"What happened?" He asked and looked down at his ragged skin and cuts.
"Why are you here?" Alpha Mitch asked in a hoarse voice. He was still in a daze because of how he had managed to make it here when he was just a second late.
But the soft body in his embrace was slowly reeling him back like leading a dog on with its leash.
He frowned a little when he did not respond and only looked at him as if imprinting his face in his mind.
