             COMPLICATIONS

Ava's pov

I watched him eat his food and I was captivated by the way his mouth moved. Was I angry, No, I am just curious about what will be so important that it couldn't wait.

"How did the talk go?" I asked him setting down my spoon.

"Good, he only briefed me on what has been happening."

"Can you tell me what is happening?"
He paused but didn't look at me and after some minutes he continued eating.

"I need to be strong." He simply said still not looking at me.

I didn't resume eating because I was already filled and waited patiently for him to finish eating, when he did, I simply packed our dishes to the sink and began to wash them.

After washing I returned to the table and sat beside him but It was so silent that I began to hit lightly on the table just to know if he would say anything, but he did nothing. He looked at me and stood up lifting me by the hand so we could return to his room.

"My injury is too much, can you help me take a bath?" Once he closed the door he turned to me and demanded.

"No taking of bath for you till those wounds are fair enough for me."

"But I will smell terrible." He frowned and raised his hand to smell his armpits.

"Are you trying to divert what I asked you, sorry because it's not working, now if you will answer my question, what the fuck is going on?"
I felt like lashing out my anger and he still stood there watching me and I felt like a fool asking.

He went over to the bed to sit down and gently patted beside him for me. I silently walked over but sat a few inches away from him, I needed that to be able to listen to whatever he was going to say.

"We are at war."

I expected him to say more but he didn't say any and I watched as his eyes wandered to the open window to gaze out.

"War?" He nodded still with his eyes outside.

"You know fight for territories. It happens constantly and the strongest pack survives. That's why we must be strong."

"Just territorial fights?"

He turned to look into my eyes and I was captivated with the gold of his eyes.

"This is what is happening, I'm already going crazy about them."
He stood up and walked to the window. I went and stood beside him and that was when I noticed he was looking at the sky. I heard a lot of faint howls but if he didn't look alert there was no need to be frightened.

"Ava I don't know if I can lead this pack to victory, I'm so confused right now."

His voice came out shaky than intended and I felt my heart broken as I felt pains run through them.
I placed my hand on his shoulder.

"I am here."

"You can't be here Ava."
He looked at me and I could see complications in them.

"Here we go again." I threw my hands in the air.
"What is your problem, I've told you I am not going anywhere till my two weeks is over."

I walked to the bed angrily laid down and covered myself. I wasn't even angry, I'm just complicated with what I want. I know if I stay I will be in danger with the way his body looks, and most people I've seen are injured too, they all look terrible but I can't or I don't want to leave, every part of me wants to stay beside the one thing that truly makes me happy.
