Through The Eyes Of A Wolf

Chapter 8: Breakfast Tension

Once the figure is visible Noah and Dawn exchanged knowing glances; a silent communication passing between them. Their eyes held a depth of understanding, hinting at the shared history they carried.

Dawn's voice broke the comfortable silence, her tone warm and welcoming. "Good morning, Elijah. It's been a while since we've had you over for breakfast."

Elijah nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze shifting between Noah and Dawn before settling on me. "Thank you for having me. It's good to see you both." His words carried a weight of responsibility, a reminder of the duties that bound them together.

Noah poured Elijah a cup of steaming coffee, the rich aroma mingling with the scent of freshly cooked pancakes. "Help yourself," he offered; his voice a reassuring presence in the room. As we settled around the table, enjoying the feast before us, the mood shifted abruptly. 

Elijah changed the topic and brought up recent events in the surrounding area, his words carrying an undercurrent of concern for the safety of the people. I sensed there was more to the story, but I refrained from prying. 

As they continued their discussion, I rose to clear my plate, nearly losing my balance in the process. A small yelp escaped me, drawing everyone's attention. I quickly reassured them with a thumbs up before tending to the dishes.

Meanwhile, Dawn and Noah engaged in earnest conversation with Elijah, absorbing his words with thoughtful consideration. "We'll remain vigilant for any signs of trouble," Dawn pledged, her determination unwavering.

Elijah's demeanor turned grave as he motioned for a private discussion with Dawn and Noah. They exchanged a nod and departed, leaving me to ponder the weighty matters they discussed behind closed doors.

Minutes ticked by, each one laden with anticipation as I awaited their return. Faint murmurs drifted from the room, hinting at the gravity of their deliberations.

At last, Dawn, Noah, and Elijah emerged, their expressions somber yet determined. There was a palpable sense of unity and resolve as they reconvened at the table. With the meal concluded, I took charge of the dishes, washing away the remnants of our gathering. After finishing the dishes, I walked back to the counter and sat back down in my seat.
