Summary: Braeden is relieved Derek survived their trip to Mexico.
“I don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted” said Derek as he and Braeden entered the loft.
“I guess almost dying will do that to you” said Braeden.
Derek chuckled, then realized his girlfriend was blinking back tears. “Hey, what’s wrong?” he asked.
“Nothing” said Braeden, her voice breaking. “I’m just really happy you aren’t dead.”
“Come here” said Derek, pulling Braeden into his arms as she began to cry. “It’s going to take a lot more than Kate Argent to kill me. Believe me, she’s tried enough times.”
It was Braeden’s turn to chuckle. Wiping away her tears, she looked up at him and said “I suppose you’re too tired to show me what you can do with your new werewolf stamina.”
“I might have enough energy left for a demonstration.”
