I felt someone pull me from the room by my sleeve, but I didn't even react. I was just in too much shock. The pure hatred that she-wolf seemed to harbor towards me didn't make any sense. What had I done?8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLLgkEtzJd 維尼
"What did you do?" Asher asked, still with his hand on my arm.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxl8ky10UM 維尼
"Nothing?" I replied though my answer sounded more like a question. I still hadn't taken my eye off the closed door.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt4qiRkVEJ 維尼
"Wait here, okay?" Asher asked. I merely nodded and waited for him as he disappeared into her room. Standing there waiting in the hallway for Asher to return felt like forever, but it did give me time to think. Why had I assumed she was a male pup. Well, she was smaller than every other she-wolf I had ever encountered, and she had been so aggressive, not something I came across among female werewolves, I tried to reason.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m6LR0J2vD 維尼
Asher slowly slipped through the door closing it softly behind him.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCJcAQQ2Yd 維尼
"Well," He began scratching his head. "She's requested permission to leave and would appreciate it if you would keep away from her," He said sounding really uneasy.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFt11X8Ls1 維尼
"What?" I asked aloud more to myself than to him.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡKloDeUWIrI 維尼
"She didn't seem this upset when I went in earlier to talk to her. She was very polite and friendly. Even thanked me for all my help."8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTOuNMoYvM 維尼
"YOUR help?" I yelled a little riled up, taking a step toward him.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqwJmO0hWm 維尼
"Her words, not mine." He defended, putting both his hands up in surrender, his back against the door.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTHKtELpFt 維尼
"Yeah, yeah," I said backing off. "Just tell her she is free to leave as soon as Doc clears her," I replied trying not to let my frustration get the better of me as I walked off. "Oh, and see if you can find out what pack she's from and why she was out in the woods alone."8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WUovt4gNN 維尼
What was with this darn she-wolf? How could she hate me so much when I had yet to utter even a single word to her? All I've done is try to help her. More importantly, why did I even care? Whatever, she would be gone in a day or so.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzA9lCnQs4 維尼
I wandered back towards the pack house without any apparent destination in mind, when I realized I had ended up in front of a room, I haven't entered in forever. It's not that I didn't want to enter the 'everything room', but it simply hurt too much. I would usually pause here when I walked past, but I could never get past my hand hovering over the doorknob. I was sure it still smelled of her. She spent all her free time in there.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡij6MBg0T3e 維尼
"Finally going to go in there?" Griffin asked, startling me. I hadn't even realized he was behind me.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOUtCBh1C5 維尼
"Uh, no, maybe later," I said hesitantly. "I have a heap of work to do."8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxHohEN0Z3 維尼
"Who are you trying to sell that lie to me or yourself?" He knew me too well. No one had been in there since Olivia's passing.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrVjwqKtj6 維尼
"You know, sometimes I wonder if she repainted it again since I was last in there. She seemed to be redoing it every other week," Griffin reminisced with a slight smile on his face. They were close, and sometimes I forget he lost one of his best friends not just his Luna.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeWC336llM 維尼
"She was pregnant, you know," I blurted out after a long silence. I hadn't told anyone once the doctor confirmed it after doing her autopsy. I had ordered him not to tell anyone and to destroy any records of it. I know that wasn't the alpha thing to do, but I couldn't help the few tears that broke free and slipped down my cheek.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVrXU9Qc6b 維尼
"But how?" He eventually managed to ask. I could see the pain and pity written on his face.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUC0UZvYyW 維尼
"She told me a few days before the attack, but she hadn't been certain. Doc Havers confirmed it after the autopsy." My words came out in a low whisper. I wasn't even sure Griffin heard me.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQDTKsH3zI 維尼
"You both would have been great parents." I nodded still standing facing the doorway. I just couldn't do it. Everything about that room was Olivia. No one ever went in there except to talk to Olivia or to view her latest masterpiece. I didn't want to contaminate it, to lose the last bit of her. The fact that I had not only lost her but my unborn child had made things so much worse.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK7BEWcdSb 維尼
We had spent nearly a yearly trying for a child. Olivia loved kids. Every time she saw a small baby she would get the gleam in her eyes and a dreamy smile on her face. I hadn't been so eager to have kids. I mean I knew I wanted one eventually, but I wasn't sure I was ready to be a dad just yet. Then when she had told me the knew that she might be pregnant it was like all my doubt vanished.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡre9ccjV1RG 維尼
"Come on man, let's go train for a bit." Griffin started to steer me towards the training room. He truly was my saving grace. It was like he could sense when things became too much for me. As we walked downstairs, he kept looking at me like he wanted to say something.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZozcMPF6W 維尼
"What? Spit it out already." I said.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF6FlgVsKO 維尼
"It's nothing. It's just I understand now why you cared so much about that pup."8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCNhFJqDRP 維尼
"She's not a pup," I informed him.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡQebBTFKau1 維尼
"She? I thought you said the wolf was male." He seemed more than shocked.8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YghoiuoF4 維尼
"Yeah, well, I was wrong," I replied, feeling frustrated all over again. Why did the wolf detest me so much?8964 copyright protection293ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDWPynjxek 維尼
