Zuriel was still wrapped up in her own thoughts, but Eniko shifting closer caught her attention enough to stop the train of thoughts for a moment. Her ears pricked forward to catch his words as he lowered his voice to tell her something that was obviously important. She had grown so used to his reserved, even demeanor that seeing him more open was almost like seeing a new wolf. Her eyes grew a bit wide with surprise at his news and she blinked while she tried to process it. He might have expected her to shy away from this or be afraid, but her initial reaction was only concern and worry. "Come live in my sister's pack with me," she replied after a few moments, speaking without hesitation. "You can be safe there. I know Faite would have no problem with you joining." Her ears flicked uncertainly. She knew he wouldn't agree to it right away, but she didn't like the idea of him being out on his own while someone was trying to hunt him down. She felt like she had to have something else to convince him that it was worth it. She glanced down at her paws with her ears flicked back against her head. "I haven't been completely honest either... I was, um... I went to live in Faite's pack because I didn't know where else to go after I was raped." She sighed and her head turned away from him. "I didn't know how to tell you because you were completely right about me being too kind and too trusting..." Zuriel couldn't bear to bring her gaze up to meet his. She could only imagine the look on his face. "But I trust you and I'd love to have you there. I just feel like my sons need some kind of good male influence around them." |
