Surprise surprise I wake up alone.

The Gods really did curse me on this mate bond didn't they. How could they match me with such an impossible man? I don't know why But I had hope I would wake up and he would be laying down next to me. I stretch out as my sleep felt good considering what's happening at the moment. I didn't wake up once last night Not one nightmare I guess until I open my eyes is like the real thing that is, It's almost as if he were here with me.

I get up and make the bed, tidying the room and head out to the kitchen.

Pouring myself a juice I walk to the sink and look out at the day. The sun is just beginning to show itself as the cool air blows through the window feeling nice against my skin. Tonight is the big celebration. There celebrating the defeat of alpha sanders and his rouge pack as they also reigned down hell on breakpoint though there loss of casualties was far greater as they weren't under fallen moons protection. I wonder how they avoided being wiped out all together, there no where near as close as horizon dawn and that much land to cover would be impossible for any pack.

I see a slight movement as I lean over the sink to get a better view. There on the chair just a bit down the path is Ethan. I can only see one side of him as the large rose bush thing is covering half of  him and the rest of the chair.

Should I go out there?

I contemplate the idea as I take another sip of my juice.

I know I was pissed at him last night and a part of me still is but that doesn't mean I don't want things to get better. I remember him saying he likes to go out there when he needs time to think so maybe I shouldn't interrupt...

There's that stupid maybe word again.

I briefly wonder where he and redbitch went after they left the cafe last night? She was definitely interested in him even if I were blind I would have known. Least then I wouldn't have seen her beauty as its obviously only skin deep.

Her name is probably red scarlet or red beauty, or some exotic name that means and sounds gorgeous. Dam beauty queen.

I'm distracted by the clicking of the back patio door as I look up from the sink and out to the chair to find its now empty.

"Hey" I hear his voice softly spoken

I turn around leaning back on the table as I look over at him.

He's standing next to the counter with his hands shoved into his pockets. Looking a little bit lost

If things weren't so awkward between us I could just laugh.

"Hey" I say carefully

"Have you had breakfast?" He asks nicely

"No not yet" I say not helping the questioning look I feel on my face

Is he actually asking me to breakfast? Is he actually talking normally to me..This is new. Well new lately anyway

He nods his head as he shifts his body and leans back on the counter.

It's only now I notice that he's not as thin as he was last week. He's gained his muscle back as I watch the muscles on his forearms flex. Probably from being nervous as that seems to be what he looks like? It's a little bit confusing he's usually always so sure of himself.

"You haven't gone out for a run in awhile have you" his words sound more like a statement than a question

No I haven't. As much as my wolf begs me to go I can't bring myself to do it. Nothing good ever comes from running the border of this territory. It's not that I'm scared I'm just not that stupid.. Ok that's a lie I am slightly scared of it.
