| In the silence that followed her words, Sheylie found her thoughts returning to rest upon the pack that she had left behind. Xavier had been one of the few survivors, but so many others had lost their lives or had simply vanished as they fled their old home. What was happening to them now? Had their curse of bad luck continued, or had it ended when they had all gone their separate ways? How was her brother doing? She was thankful when Frayer spoke, forgetting for a moment her anger in the rush of gratitude. She needed a distraction, even if that distraction came in the form of this wolf. How she wanted to snap at him in that moment, but at the same time, she did appreciate his voice serving as a distraction from thoughts of her pack. Twitching her ears, she fixed blue eyes on him, only to jump a little when a growl echoed in the air. Was he growling at . . . her? No, it didn't seem like it, but who else would he be growling at? Hmph. She didn't care anyways. Nope. She was too angry at him to care. Angry at him for everything he'd done, for causing the pack to drive him out. That was all his fault, right? He deserved every drop of anger that she could muster, every glare that she could manage. But... It was far easier to be angry when she thought that he had come through this without suffering at all. And as he spoke, Sheylie could tell, even if she had not noticed before, that he was lying. Lying as she had, hiding something. Hmm. It didn't take much for Sheylie to put the pieces together. The anger was fading, though Sheylie tried desperately to cling to it. She was furious with him, damn it! He had abandoned her without a word in goodbye, had caused so much trouble within their pack! And yet. It was hard for her to stay angry when he spoke. He had not been as well off as he claimed, that much was obvious. And neither had Sheylie. Damn him. Damn him for making her feel bad for him now, when she was trying so desperately to be angry. "Frayer." Oh she was going to regret this in about two seconds, "You don't have to lie. No one's life is perfect when they're on their own." No need to call attention to how obvious the lie had been... Why was she being so nice to him? He deserved the punishment. He deserved everything that had happened to him while he was on his own. And she didn't care at all! Except, as much as she tried to insist that to herself, she knew it wasn't entirely true. She was not one to be needlessly cruel. And she had been angry when she'd thought that everything had been perfect for him, but if the world had punished him even a little, it was hard for her to stay angry. What was wrong with her? "I mean, life hasn't been perfect for me either." Hmph. She didn't know why she was being so damn nice to this wolf. Except. It was hard to stay angry at him. And she didn't know why. "Talking!" |
