I watch as he grows silent and thoughtful, my brow furrowing as I wonder what he could be thinking about. I think back to that first time we met. He was so secretive and yet his eyes seemed unguarded the whole time. I wonder how much of what he told me was true. He didn't come off as ill intentioned or anything, he just made me skeptical. I'm glad he found Dusk. She made him whole again. I wonder if he's ever imprinted or if he ever wondered about what it would be like. I'm still set on not wanting to again. I liked the easy dependency I felt for Edge but when he disappeared, I felt more lost than before. I have a feeling the second time would be worse. I have Cobryn now and that's all that matters. I hate the way it went down, how Jaidah took off with Jumaji, how even Covet went off on his own, but Cobryn is slowly coming back to his old self. It's slow progress but progress all the same. He wags his tail as I speak, thanking me for my kind words. I can't help but return his smile. When he asks about the pack, I can tell he's hurting to think about it so I wait patiently before speaking. When I do, he tells me that Weylin is blind with revenge, how he only wants payback for his brother. My brow furrows. His brother? I don't know anything about Weylin's family. I didn't even know he had a brother. I wait when he pauses, certain that there's more. He starts babbling about wishing us the best, his words making my chest ache with the pain etched in every word. My eyes soften and I take a hesitant step forward. Go? I don't want him to go away, not like this. "Sulan, wait...don't go. You are going to make an amazing alpha. You are right. I knew Weylin was filled with anger when he came back from the battle field. I could see it in his eyes. You were going to bring us peace, the peace Cobryn and I so desperately need. The peace a lot of wolves in Moladian want right now. There's been too much battle, too much bloodshed. You can bring peace to Moladian, Sulan. Don't lose faith in yourself. I won't." I narrow my eyes in determination, my tail wagging. Hopefully he'll at least pause to listen to what I have to say. I don't want him going away like this, defeated. No wolf should look so down. |
