mutters as he tosses a plastic cup against the wall. “My best friend and leader are gone, all because you had to show up.”
“You should have just stayed behind with them then.” I growl.
“You shouldn’t have asked for help from a human.” He argues.
“All I have are human friends and I trust them more than any wolf.” I reply crossing my arms over my chest.
His jaw falls slightly. “You have human friends?”
I nod. “I have two best friends actually, Harley and Ariel. I even had a human boyfriend for awhile.”
His eyes widen in shock at this new bit of information from me.
“Why?” He questions curiously.
“I never wanted to be a wolf, it’s not like I had a choice in this.” I motion towards myself. “All I ever wanted to do was fit in and have a normal life like everyone else.” I answer honestly.
“You’re a strange little wolf, aren’t you?” He teases lightly.
“You don’t know the half of it.” I laugh out. “So, how about you, I know you weren’t born a Hunter.”
He runs his hand through his hair as he turns his back to me. “A wolf, like you, killed my entire family in front of me. I watched it tear my sister’s throat out as she screamed for mercy.”
Turning to face me I sense the sadness he held deep inside, and the hatred he held for all wolves whether they were good or not.
He hated us all and I couldn’t say I blamed him.
I would hate whoever would have killed my family like that.
“At first I became a Hunter to get revenge, but now I want to keep what happened to my family from happening to anyone else’s.” He ends fiercely.
“Did you ever get your revenge?” I ask curiously.
He shakes his head. “No, I had the chance to once but I just couldn’t take his life.”
I completely understood that.
“What was his name, do you know?” I inquire next.
“It was Brock. It’s a name I will never forget for as long as I live.” He answers with underlying anger.
“Well, then you don’t have to worry about ever facing him again.” I sigh. “The wolf after me now killed him.”
His eyes widen for a fraction of a moment with what looked like glee. “He did?”
I nod and grin. “Yeah, he did.”
Damon turns his back to me. “Good.”
A comfortable silence closes in on us as we both stare off at nothing in particular until a loud knock makes my heart literally skip a beat.
I hadn’t heard anyone approach, which was odd for me.
Rising to my feet I place my hand on Damon’s arm stopping him from moving towards the door.
With my nose to the air I take in a deep breath quickly cursing as I smell a familiar smell, a wolf.
“Get behind me.” I command Damon.
He does quickly as I move towards the door and swing it open wide.
Dillon stumbles and falls inside covered in blood from head to toe.
“What the hell happened to you?” I ask as I kneel down beside him.
His eyes peer up to mine. “I renounced. He nearly killed me but I got away.” He chokes as blood begins pouring from his mouth.
“How did you even find me?” I ask next.
He coughs. “I didn’t think I’d actually find you. I was looking for a Hunter to kill me.” He answers honestly.
“If it’s death you want, then its death you will have, wolf.” Damon snarls coming around me.
Again, I stop him with my hand and a growl. “No, he can be useful to us.”
“How can he be useful to us, he’s nearly dead.” Damon argues.
“You forget that I am an alpha, Hunter, and that I have more secrets than you’ll ever know.” I reply.
Taking Dillon’s face in my hands I search his eyes. “Will you help me if I heal you?”
He nods as more blood trickles from his mouth.
I wipe his brow before the blood there can flow into his eyes as I continue to search them. “Will you become my second if I allow you to live? Will you obey me as an alpha?”
He nods again as the light begins leaving his eyes.
His time was running out rapidly, I had to make my choice now.
