Aphmau POV~
___________________________________Ein sat away from the fire we had all started. He still had my scarf wrapped around his neck. Zane watched the storm, waiting for it stop while Lucy tried to come up with a way to go through it.
I stood and walked toward Ein, taking a seat next to him. I leaned against him to try and warm him. He didn't say or do anything. "I've been meaning to ask you something. . ."I whispered to him. He didn't turn toward me, but his eyes rolled in my direction when I spoke.
"Did you actually want me to be your girlfriend?"I asked, hoping he knew what I was talking about. He didn't answer for a moment, so I felt I had to clarify.
"No, I just thought people would respect me more. . ."He answered quietly before I could speak.
"Ein, everyone feared you. Why would you need more than that?"I asked, forgetting to keep my tone calm.He lifted his head to look at me. I couldn't tell what he was thinking, so I just sat there oblivious.
"I was an Omega, Aphmau. There were. . .well. . . There were good reasons for me to be. . ."Ein spoke up. I saw Lucy stand to go talk with Zane.
"Ein. It's better to talk about these things but. . .I don't want to be insensitive,"I told him. If I was being honest, I was a little curious.
What I saw of them while they were in college together was a better relationship than Aaron and I have. Or I guess had. . .I'll let him break up with me when this is all over.
"Aphmau, I came out in 7th grade. It's not like it was a secret either."He began,"I was with someone who I thought would stay with me forever, so I declared it to the whole school,".
"We broke up the next year though, and that's when I started getting bullied. The Alpha, Daphne, made me Alpha to stop it,"He paused for a second and looked away. He didn't continue, and I didn't pressure him to.
"Aphmau, the storms dying down. Is Ein okay to walk?"Zane pulled us out from our whispered conversation. "Please, I could run to him at this point."Ein stood up. "I think we'd all like to find him,"Lucy gave him a sympathetic smile.
That's when one of Ein's ears twitched.

Aaron POV~
___________________________________Alina threw me down on the snow in the middle of the woods. "What are you, a werewolf?!"I shouted at her. "Since when was that your business!"She hollered back, digging through her pockets.
"Oh I wonder! Maybe since you dragged me through the snow away from-"I started sarcastically, still sitting there in the snow. "-Ein."She finished. She had said it with such hate.
I growled lowly,"You got a problem?". "Yes. But it's not yours to know about."She offered a hand to help me up, but I ignored her, getting up on my own to brush snow off of myself.
"Listen. Ein isn't a good person, he's hurt-"Alina began. "I don't give a damn what you think!"I hollered at her,"So what if he's hurt you? It's not my place to care!",
I heard footsteps and calmed down a bit. They were messy and stumbling. Alina seemed to hear it too, since she pulled my arm, this time asking me to go with her.
I shrugged her off and looked in the direction of the footsteps. I saw navy hair and ears in the distance, and that's all I needed to begin running toward him.
