Dakota was scared, perplexed, and worried. He was unable to see or hear anything. Freya had his head pressed against her shoulder. His mind spun with questions of what might be happening.

Minutes passed and he still didn't hear anything. As a result of his worry, his problem from a few minutes ago had vanished.

"Are you all right?" Freya whispers in his ear.

Finally able to hear Freya, he felt a sense of relief. He pulled away from her, finally being allowed to leave. As he looked up at her with worry, his hands rested on her waist.

"Am I all right? Freya! What just happened? Are you all right?" Dakota asks frantically looking her up and down. "Why couldn't I hear anything?" Dakota's anxiety was flaring and he couldn't tell that his breathing was speeding up.

His face is cupped and he is kissed. "Mmm," He lets out a moan as he relaxes immediately into the kiss. He slowly almost forgot about what just happened as his belly warmed and body tingled once more. Freya releases him from the kiss after a few seconds.

After the kiss, he pants a little, but he returns his attention to Freya. He felt calmer after that, but still wanted answers. She seemed to understand his look and responds, "There was a bug, I got rid of it." She answers looking down at him.

Dakota raised his eyebrow. "Freya, I know what you're doing," He frowns. Freya sometimes would give vague answers intentionally because she thought the truth might damage his "fragile" mind. Freya didn't respond so Dakota sighs, "Freya, I can handle it. I'm sure it's not that bad." He tries to turn around but hands quickly wrap around his waist and pull him forward.

He looks back up at Freya feeling a little sad. Sad that she was keeping things from him. He opened his mouth to say to her, 'I thought mates didn't keep secrets from each other.' But his own plan to escape her when his heat arrives stops him.

He wasn't allowed to feel sad, he too has been hiding things well. Unlike Dakota, who was acting selfishly by keeping secrets, Freya merely kept secrets as a means of keeping him safe.

He shakes his head, "N-nevermind. If it's not important then, uh, let's just go."

She tilts her head as if expecting him to explain why he didn't care anymore. He doesn't, so Freya nods. Her back turned, they began to make their way through the alley. Still, Freya's arm was around his waist, keeping him from turning around.

It didn't take them long to reach the end. Dakota turns left as Freya removes her arm from his waist. Her head turns to the other side alley.
