I realize I need somethin’ more from her than her acknowledgement. Need her trust. Even if it’s just a piece of it. A moment. A deep growl starts up in my chest, but I will it softer until it comes out as a rumbling purr. I soothe my Omega. And then I offer her a wounded truth. “I purred myself to sleep when they kept me in the cells,” I say out loud, though I don’t mean to. She blinks and her lips part. “I could purr, even as a Beta. Shouldn’ta been able to, but I could. Never done it for anyone else but you.”
