(FOUND IT! :D ---->If only someone loved her..... MY TURN! there shall be two this time ;) )

Even though I thought I was doing a good job in keeping him out of my head, I knew I couldn't last forever. Somewhere, somehow I was going to slip up. I knew he was waiting for that, to pounce on any vulnerability I had; he was a predator after all. Fear will be my enemy in this game. If I was too afraid i'd end up cornered. I think I was most afraid of how smart he was, and the ever present possibility that he could be working for my brother. I was certain he wasn't one of the blood thirsty rogues my brother would use. But that didn't mean my brother didn't send a more skilled wolf, one with a silver tongue to toy with my mind. My brother was ruthless and cruel, but he was also unpredictable and smart. That was why nobody saw his betrayal coming.

Enderly held a facade I couldn't quite see through. There was something behind that mischievous grin of his, I couldn't put my finger on it. It didn't waiver, at least while I was looking. If I wasn't already suspicious of his motives, this would have been raising red flags. But I had one of my own, and as long as he kept his act up, i'd continue to be the phantom he wanted to desperately to unmask. The poor male would be chasing his own tail before i'd let him in, at least intentionally let him in.

I saw the eager wag of his tail when I came down from my perch. I knew this was something he was hoping for me to do, but not necessarily expecting. I watched with weary eyes as he picked up the rabbit and padded over closer to me. I couldn't stop my hackles raising in defense but you couldn't see it in the shadows. He was too close for my comfort, but I couldn't squirm or move away without giving away my discomfort. "It is kind of you to share, Denali. Since this is your prize, would you like first pick?" He said, placing the rabbit on both of our paws. My ear twitched slightly, wanting to pull back shyly but I kept it up. I had a hard time keeping his gaze when I was this close to him, his eyes were piercing, almost like they were searching my soul for its secrets.

I opened my mouth to politely decline his offer, when I felt my stomach growl. It was slightly obvious, especially in the deafening silence of the cave; It was possible he heard it. My face felt hotter than it originally had and I couldn't stop my ears from falling back in a bit of embarrassment. I reached out and gently tore a hind leg off the rabbit and brought it inbetween my paws. I don't know if he'd call me out of my previous lie, or have expected me to take anything, but I didn't particularly care.

It was weird being this close to another wolf again. I had been alone for so long, the whole situation felt foreign. Even though this whole interaction with Enderly was far from usual, I kinda found myself enjoying it. Yes I was alone, but I was alone and free. Yet I was amused by the wolf laying in front of me. Even if he was a spy or a murderer sent to end me, at least I was enjoying the time before my demise.


But I don't want good and I don't want good enough, I want can't sleep, can't breathe without you love....
