His face fell a bit when the girl ducked again and seemed to back away. What was she afraid of? Hyperion felt the irresistible urge to break down her walls and make her feel safe. But he had dealt with wolves like this before. Gaining her trust would take much longer than usual. This he was used to, as he was a bit wary of strangers as well. He tried to display this in his face, a look of empathy. I understand, my lady, he wanted to say. Please look at me. His golden eyes were warm and distracted as Esperanza spoke, but his ears had been dulled a bit, and as a result he was unable to hear her. He started to tilt his head her way and ask what she had said, but then the pretty earthen female was speaking again, reeling in his attention like nothing else. Her voice sounded empty and saddened, but there was a trace of hope left. She was a fighter. Something terrible had happened to her, but she was still powering through. Much like him. She suggested that Hyperion stay away from the Glaciem pack, and he responded with a grateful nod. "You are not the first to tell me of the trouble that follows the Glaciem pack. I suppose I will keep my distance..." For now. Something deep inside the male churned at the thought of leaving this female alone in such a brutal pack. He believed that Esperanza could fare well enough on her own, but this woman was wounded somehow. Her tail was tucked and her words were careful. She needed healing. She needed time away from the Glaciem pack. And Hyperion wanted to take her away. He wanted desperately to free her, but he knew it would be impossible. This alpha sounded cruel and possessive. There would be no way he would give away a piece of his property. The older male grimaced, as the thought disgusted him. He kept his gaze on the woman as she, at last, introduced herself. Hyperion felt a smile begin, and he let it spread until it brightened his face. His golden eyes seemed to glint in the daylight. "Miss Narsha," he bowed once more. "It is my greatest pleasure to meet you." "Talk."Think. |
