“A lot of shit happened before I was born.”

Whether Zeke realised or not, his own comment partly referenced one of those who had changed sides, Zeke raised on hearing how wolves had murdered his older brother to encourage him to seek revenge for his fallen family members.

“Yeah, well, don’t believe everything your dear old daddy has to say because I’ve seen the aftermath of some of the shit he’s done.”

There was a coldness in Jeff’s words, the warmth and nearly human emotions draining from his features. He was letting the kid get a glimpse of what he really was at his core.

Cadi relaxed entirely when Jeff went cold, but she also moved forward and leaned against him like an obedient dog. She didn’t really want him to scare her brother. “You’re going spooky again.”

The words were enough snap him out of it, his expression warming again, but it took longer to reach his eyes.

Kelly stiffened only for a split second when Arkos put his arms around him, and it was only a reflex at being startled from not hearing him come outside while he was momentarily caught in a sort of daydream. As soon as that reaction had passed though, he relaxed immediately, his head turning in the direction of the shoulder Ark’s head was laid on, a calm, almost blissful smile finally on his lips, not caring at all if anyone saw them being affectionate like this.

He swallowed a chuckle over startling the younger wolf as he nuzzled at him slightly. Had Kelly been any taller or Arkos any short, the gesture would have seemed terribly silly to watch. It wouldn’t have stopped him, but it might not have been quite so comfortably easy. “You should call your mother later too so she’s not worried or shocked.”

The movements unsettled him, the grace unnatural and everything in him insisting that he reach for his gun. His fingers balled into a fist instead, not a great response but better than the alternative. “Maybe not. But this is the kind of risk I signed up for. And I stand a decent enough shot at surviving, but I can’t guarantee it. I never can. Eventually I’m going to end up in a fight against someone better than me and I can’t ignore the fact that well… this might be that fight. But that’s not your problem.”

His head cocked to the side and he lifted a hand slowly, tracing the air around the side of Chase’s face. He knew better than to touch him when he wasn’t playing human, knew Chase would hate the feel of his energy prickling over his skin, but he still wanted to be close to the hunter in some manner. “If it involves you, it is my problem. Being engaged and actually giving a damn makes it my problem.”
