Always Alone

" Are you by any chance the Seth that just attacked Knight territory? " I asked him, although I knew the answer before he replied.

Seth gave me a cheeky grin and nodded.

" Joshua's a tool and Ryan is probably more worser than his father. " Seth shrugged.

" Did you kill people from the pack? "

" We only trespassed, caused a little disturbance, and then got out of there. I'm only running with a few friends. It would've been stupid to try and take them on."

" Then why attack at all? "

" We didn't attack, just trespassed. And we did it for fun. Oh and to also piss off Ryan. " Seth replied.

I had slumped myself on the ground, and Seth was sitting in front of me with his knees propped up.

" Where are you going to go now? " Seth asked me.

It was worrying me slightly that he knew I was alone. I didn't know weather to trust him or not. Alpha Ryan, well only Ryan now, had said that Seth was dangerous.

" I have no idea. " I told him, as I grabbed the backpack Ryan had given me.

" You can come with me. " Seth suggested.

" You want me to tag along? "

The surprise must've been obvious in my voice.

" Nine out of ten shots says that you'll shift when you turn eighteen. It happened to me too. My grandmother was a human. I didn't shift when I turned thirteen like the rest of the Wolves do. "

He was trying to keep his voice steady but when he said those words, his eyes had this dark look in them.

" How old are you? You look young. " I told him, realizing that despite his tall and intimidating frame, he actually look young.

" I'm twenty one, you? "

" Sixteen, but I'll be seventeen in June. " I told him.

Seth cocked an eyebrow, and his expression turned into one of amusement.

" It's barely January. There's still six months before your birthday comes along."

" Hey, June isn't that far away! " I argued while crossing my arms over my chest.

" Sure it isn't. " Seth said mockingly, going along with my words.

" Are you coming or not? " Seth asked, after getting up from the ground.

He was looking down at me waiting for my answer. While we talked I had been thinking about joining him. It scared me to be out in the woods on my own. Actually, I wouldn't even be able to live in the woods because without a Wolf, I didn't really have any business out in the wild.

Seth would definitely be a great advantage, if his intentions to help me are actually genuine. If he really wanted to... He could have hurt me. But he hadn't yet. Maybe, just maybe, he was saying the truth.

" Do you live out in the woods? " I asked.

" Not all the time. "

" Is it dangerous? "

" I'll take care of you. " he told me.

" Are you going to hurt me? "

" I've been in your position. " he quietly replied and directed his gaze to the ground.

The look that came over his face made me get up from the dirty floor and take a step closer to him.

" I'll come."
