The Unfortunate Truth

Brody? - 20

The three of us got to the airport a bit before our plane was taking off. So luckily we got there a bit before the doors were closing. The almost five hour flight was so long that I fell asleep on Konan's shoulder.

I usually fall asleep on planes no matter how long the flight is. I just get so bored even if I have something to watch or read or listen to music or something.

I was actually surprised I was able to sleep with everything going on. I was so anxious and scared that I figured I wasn't going to be able to. But I'm sure with all the crying and no sleep I was getting I was able to sleep just fine.

Konan woke me up a little bit before we landed and my mind was racing. All I could think about was Brody. With what happened between us, what he said, and how on earth we were going to recover.

I guess that was my dumb mistake. Partly.

I should have told him that I was leaving, which was a mistake on my part. I know that we're giving each other space, or at least he was, but I should have said that I was leaving. I could feel that my wolf was upset about the fact, since she wanted Brody's wolf. But if he knew I was leaving I'm sure he would have made me stay.

And I couldn't. I couldn't keep putting his pack in danger. I couldn't put him in danger like that. I had to leave, at least until this thing sort of blows over.

Which in hindsight I don't know if it ever will.

But I at least should have discussed this with him instead of just running away. I didn't tell him anything else, the least I could have done was tell him about this. God, I doubt he would even want to be with me. He'll probably fly here after this blows over to reject me. Hell, I know that I would.

'Hey, Dani, you gotta stay awake.'

I shake my head to stop myself from falling off of Konan's back.

We were going through the woods after getting off the plane in Vermont. Our territory is almost an hour's drive from the airport. Thankfully.

We were almost there, maybe fifteen minutes or so before we got into our pack territory and I was starting to fall asleep. We didn't want to inform father or anyone else that we were on the way in since father didn't even know that we were on our way.

I have no doubt that if we did, father would deny us entry. Because that's just the type of person that he is.

'Sorry,' I mind link back. 'Just lost in thought.'

'About?'

I softly bite my lip beneath the ski mask I had over my head. I didn't really want to tell them, no doubt I would get a small lecture from him. But I'm honest with my brothers.

'What this means for Brody and I.' And before he could even answer I kept going. 'It's just that I already created a big problem with everything by not telling him, and then when I told him that was an issue all in itself. So I know that I should have told him that I was leaving but-'

'No,' Konan grumbles. 'If he really wants to see you he can come to Vermont. If he can't understand why it took you so long to tell him, he doesn't deserve it. He'll come. You'll just have to wait.'

I do have to admit that I felt my heart hurt when he said that. My wolf was already upset enough. I knew that I was only making it worse. Both for me and for her. I'm sure that's why he hadn't been talking to me recently. Because she was mad at me. Which I completely understood.

'More waiting,' I grumble.

I can hear both of my brother's chuckles, so I know that we were on a small link with each other, sort of like a group chat or something but with links. That's the best way that I can describe it.

'Hey, I don't like waiting.'

'We know, Dani. you're like one of the most impatient people that we know,' Roman adds.

I don't even hesitate. 'You guys are so mean.'

'Love you too,' Roman quirks back.

I can't help the small laugh that escapes me, but I wasn't able to laugh for long.

Konan's body suddenly tenses up and I see that his head moves from side to side a little bit. He can sense something. I glanced over at Roman running directly next to Konan, seeing that he was doing the same thing.

Both of my brothers had beautiful coats. Both brown obviously, with their own little quirks. Konan was a darker brown than Roman was, and he had some lighter highlights around his face and by his paws.

Roman on the other hand had a light brown coat with white paws and a few darker brown spots. One big one on his right shoulder and a smaller one on top of his back.

Both of them were giant wolves too. But I guess that's the props for being the children of an Alpha.

'Konan?' I link.

He suddenly stops moving, making me almost fall off of his back. I have to squeeze some of his fur, making me feel a little bit bad, so I don't fall off.
