At Dawn

Thirty-Seven.

٭ An Alpha ٭

I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO TELL LEX, SILAS TOOK IT upon himself to inform Lex of it. Lex looked up when both Silas and I walked through. He knew at that instant something had no doubt happened. I saw the irritation in his dark eyes.

Silas came up as I went behind and sat down next to Lex and handed him his chips. Lex accepted them and thanked me before looking back at Silas.

"We need to talk." Silas said and Lex sighed and nodded.

"Somehow Mara seems to have found out that Ambrosia is aware of what we are. She's been telling most of the pack and on top of that told Adrian and Lyra. From the way she is saying it she is implying because your fucking Ambrosia you felt the need to tell her as well. She created quite the stir." Silas noted.

Lex looked far from amused. "What's been going on so far?" Lex asked shutting down the computers for the day.

"Well I found Hunter cornering Ambrosia demanding to know how she found out. It could be he doesn't believe Mara or is looking to intimidate her." I felt nothing short of awkward being talked about as if I wasn't there.

Lex tapped his fingers on the wood. He looked nothing short of pissed but managed to have his emotions under control. Which was good. Lex noted numerous times that he had extreme anger issues. It made me wonder if it was a trait of Dusk Wolves.

"Did Hunter touch her?" Lex asked glancing at me.

"No, he did take her phone away though when she went to go text him. I came in around that time after hearing him." Silas watched Lex who nodded at that as Lex leaned back in the chair.

"Looks like I'll be having a nice long talk with all of them." Lex looked pissed.

Silas nodded at that as he glanced back over at me as I unwrapped my chocolate bar. "I'll leave you two alone now." Silas said and Lex nodded as Silas left the library leaving no one but Lex and I in here as he turned to me.

"You aren't hurt?" Lex asked and I shook my head.

"I'm fine Lex." I told him and he nodded rolling over and hugged me.

I hugged him back as his head rested against my neck and he inhaled before pulling back and kissing me.

"I'll get this all figured out so don't worry about its Ambrosia. Just going to have a nice talk with them and tell them to back the fuck up." Lex smiled at me. I nodded at that as we got our bags ready for when the bell would ring.

Lex took in a deep breath as he did the last closing up of the library just as the bell rang.

We left the library and headed to his car ignoring everyone. Lex didn't stop for anyone and ignored the looks he got. Lex and I got his into his car as I smiled at him which he returned as he turned on his car. And then we were of.

Lex dropped me off at my house after giving me a quick kiss and a promise to get this taken care of. I wasn't too worried about it and reminding him to take his time. He didn't need to rush because of me, and I wanted him to remember that.

I was once more alone in the house until my mom got home and decided to take out a blank canvas to keep myself occupied as I put light pencil sketches in. I had an idea in mind.

I ended up sketching out Lex and a wolf next to him. It was a bit crazy, but I liked the idea and would no doubt share the finished piece with Lex. He did complain a bit about how I had drawn Silas instead of him despite that I drew him a lot.

Lex made appearances in my sketchbook frequently. He was always there in some sort of way since I wanted to bring him down to paper.

Once more I sat with my canvas outlining Lex's face and then the black wolf next to him before having the sketch filling in the canvas as I put it back on the easel. I took out my palette and then my acrylic paints and sorted through the colors before taking out the black and squirting it out.
