My Heart I Surrender

Rory has been so absorbed within his own mind that he didn't hear Jewell come up from behind him. He flinched and whirled his head to see who had crept up on him, but he relaxed when he realized who it was. He loosened his tense muscles as he went back to looking out across the lake for a brief moment. Having the male around had him on edge and Rory wasn't too keen on having to fight him again. He certainly didn't trust the other male in his pack, but what choices did he have? All he knew was that he had to do something with him and soon. Just having him here made his skin crawl and eventually the lack of sleep would catch up to him too. Besides, if he was so perturbed by having him here then he could only imagine how the others felt. His gaze went back to Jewell as she drank some water before flopping over next to him. He noted how she still favored her leg and it made anger flare up in him once more. The more immature parts of his brain told him to go find the male and beat him up again, but this time make the damage far more severe. He managed to calm himself though. He still wouldn't do anything until he got a census on what the pack thought. Ears flicked as Jewell spoke and he let out a soft sigh as she mentioned his mother. Honestly he missed her too. How would she have handled things? Was he even doing any of this right? "I miss her too, but I'm sure she'll come home. She just has to find my cousins." He tried to sound reassuring, but in reality, he wanted her to be home already too. She had so much more experience with this than he did. "You're not causing me stress." It wasn't exactly a lie, but he worried about her constantly now. "You just need to learn how to defend yourself Jewell. You're old enough now that you can be taught, especially since you have a better grasp with our language." That would help ease his worries for the most part. She was practically an innocent little rainbow right now. She needed to toughen up and at least learn how to defend herself long enough to run away from things. He just wasn't sure who could teach her. Maybe Faite when she got back? He'd do it himself, but his knowledge was limited. His thoughts were side tracked as Jewell started speaking in french again. His head tilted slightly as he tried to make sense of what she was saying, but he hadn't learned enough of her language to be able to understand what she meant with her words. The only thing he picked up on was his own name. He gave her a confused look for a moment before his ears flicked as he heard the approach of a second wolf. His muscles tightened again as he prepared himself to put himself in front of Jewell if it happened to be the male. It was just paranoia really considering the male had been left with Zell to be watched for a while, but Rory didn't want to be off guard, especially with Jewell around. She'd already been tormented by him enough. he relaxed when he spotted Leshia with a rabbit hanging from her jaws. He flashed her a small smile and his tail waved slightly in a friendly greeting. It was his way of inviting her to join them. She'd been there with him when they'd found Jewell and he appreciated her support. Honestly, if he hadn't decided to follow her, then he was sure Jewell wouldn't be here with them now, so he supposed he had to thank her for that. He watched as she offered the rainbow colored girl her rabbit before greeting him. "You can just call me Rory." Being called alpha still sounded kind of funny to him and it definitely was too formal for his liking. "I'm fine though, just trying to figure out what to do with you know who." His voice trailed off before he glanced to Jewell and then back to Leshia expectantly. Maybe she had some ideas? Walk, "Talk" Think |
