Breaking Me Down

He just shrugged his shoulders when she apologized for getting snippy, he had jumped the gun a bit there as well. This whole situation had him on edge, making him a little more prone to snapping. Sitting at her side he waited silently for her to open up about what was on her mind. When she started to speak he looked down from the stars, his face falling as her words hit him hard. He couldn't really place himself in her situation, no matter what Wren had done it seemed like he would never stop loving her. Sighing, he leaned a bit against her shoulder to try and offer up as much comfort as he could. "I never told you this and I think this is the right time now," he said, clearing his throat to switch the focus to him. "We knew we were in love pretty quickly, but I was a... very awkward man. It wasn't until I ran to her completely horrified when I found one of my members getting humped by a complete stranger on my borders. It was completely mentally scarring for a young alpha who hadn't even had the sex talk," he paused, slowly shaking his head back and forth. He could feel the heat rising up in his cheeks as he admitted to it, swallowing hard against the lump that was growing in his throat. "Poor Wren had to explain things to me, and it was after that that we grew closer and closer. She left her pack to join mine, and we finally became mates. Even after that... it took awhile for us to, you know," Bass coughed, looking back up at the stars above them. "After we had our first litter she grew distant. Having the siblings that I did, I was used to loved ones going off for a little bit. But she came home less frequently, I was pretty much on my own with five kids. And then she left all together. When she came back I was angry and scared, afraid that after all this time she didn't love me anymore. After our second litter, I thought that would seal the deal. It would seem that it was the last straw for her though. She left me alone with young pups, at least there were only two of them this time. She came back once to a meeting, Finch lashed out at her in front of everyone in a meeting. And then... that was it. That was the last time that I saw her."

Bass fell silent for a moment, sucking a ragged breath into his lungs. "What I am trying to get at here, is that I always loved her through all of that. No matter what she did I would have welcomed her back with open arms, just to have her stomp on my heart again. My kids lacked a mother, and I started to focus more on the pack. I had to be there by myself through everything, but there are only so many things a father can do. And yet... I still feel like she owned my heart. If you feel like that with Vereux before anything major like that has happened.... then I don't think it was meant to be," Pulling his gaze back down to her, he offered her a small smile. "In the wiles of love I'm not the most helpful, Wren has been the only woman that I have been in love with. But I can understand where you are coming from, missing that comfort and understanding. I miss that every day, waking up to her beside me, the way that she just knew when I was having a bad day..." Bass stopped and laughed without humor. "This probably isn't what you want to hear... sorry. I'm not a very big help."
