Sitting around the fire in the communal, everyone talks amicably while I'm running with my thoughts
"Anyone fancy covering look out tonight ? The borders increased since recent attacks" everyone groans
"I'll do it" throwing a stick to the flames, Kylo eyes me up and down
"You should rest."
"I'm fine" glaring at him
"Here" luna offers me a flask "it's black. Not your favourite I know, but keep you going" taking the flask I leave
I thought perimeter running would clear my head, but it just fills me with more doubt
Why hasn't he mentioned before knowing the black wolf ?
Why hasn't he mentioned his name ? Still to this day ?
Who is he to him and most importantly how did he make Alpha ?
My trainers run light as I weave and spring from fallen logs. My breath mists in the chilling air. Stopping to the River I scan the opposite border, nothing. Another lap. Retracing my steps I pick up my coffee and carry it with me stopping once again at the lake, side pulling. Lifting my shirt I see the very faint silver tracing. Apparently it'll take up to six months to fully vanish.
"Good thing it wasn't made by an Alpha" my ears prick at movements, eyes scanning the dark
'He's here' hair standing on end, skin flowing with electrical currents. Across the river, silver eyes appear with black rolls of the shoulders. He stands unafraid, proud, lapping at the water. A growl escapes my lips
Tenderly, he steps to the water transforming when waist deep
"Good night for a stroll.." sliver to my green "or a dip, fancy it love ?" Arching a brow
"How about you come a little closer and we dance instead" jaw tense, eyes squinting. He laughs
"Where's your strays ?" Eyeing the surrounding behind him
"Not far" studying my profile "how about a truce ?"
"So you can rip my throat out when my backs turned ? I'll pass" Sipping my coffee. He smirks, muscles twinkle in the light of the moon
"Care to share ?"
"Go fuck yourself" he tuts
"Your a smart girl, I've got to hand it to you love, but when it comes to your mouth .." his glare settles a minute to long on my lips, my skin heating
"How'd you know I was here ?"
"I assume the same way you knew it was me.." holding each others gaze. His hand cups the cool water placing it to his shoulder. I can't help but watch the trickles make there way down his chest, abs then weaving his trail to below the water. Heart Fluttering, clearing my throat
"Something you want, love ?" The corner of his mouth forming a crooked smile
"Why haven't you killed me yet ?" Changing to the other subject on my mind
"I have no need, yet"
"You already know I'm alone. Why waste the time toying with me when I can raise the alarm and foil your plan"
"I've got time," eyes intense to mine
"Why are you bothering at all ?"
"I'm settling a debt" he sighs hands flowing with the current "Your 'alpha' owes me" I scoff
"He doesn't owe you anything"
"Wrong" features stern "he owes me for a lot"
"Care to share ?" The use of his words back on him causes a moment of pauses along with an arrogantly raised brow. Once again, I sip my coffee
"He's the reason I lost my home" eyes never leaving mine
"Cressida ?" He nods."How?"
"I was a foolish boy listening to a man I thought could promise me the world"
"You killed and destroyed Cressida, yet you want me to believe you did all that on a following ?"
"And how love does that differ to you ?" my turn to pause
"I'm not the reason Cressida fell," disbelief is present on my features
"I don't believe you"
"Don't" he shrugs "but tell me, when was the last time you saw your Alpha in his true form ?" The question has me stumped
"Do you even know what colour his pelt is ?" Tilting his head "I may be a monster but I only transformed into the beast you had all painted me to be" I remain unmoving and silent
"No.. no you killed my parents, I know you did "
"Are you sure it was me ?" More head tilting " Can you really trust the memory of a child?"
"He's an Alpha..."
"But not a born one" is spat my way, taking steps back "he's one by taking" he turns, his back and broad shoulders towards me confident I won't attack or arrogant in thinking he can take me
"Why are you telling me?"
"Like I said, you're smart" one last glance over the shoulder
"Be seeing you .. love" the glow of his eyes disappears to the forest and I release a breath I didn't realise I was holding
