Did I? I squinted down this hallway that was equally dimly lit to those downstairs. I supposed most wolves were pretty decent at seeing in the dark, so perhaps they were trying to save in candle costs.
I took another step forward and the walls swam disconcertingly, I found I was leaning against Reynaud quite strongly, in an attempt not to fall.
“I, ah… I seem to be having rather some trouble…” I faltered.
“Perhaps you need to sit down?” I felt Reynaud’s hands on my shoulders, steering me towards a curtained alcove nearby, “Get your bearings and all that p>
“Yes, that sounds good,” his suggestion was so helpful, I beamed at him and watched his handsome face split into a matching grin.
I found myself fixating on his eyes. They were that bright green but in the shadows of the alcove, they looked so strangely dead and flat.
“Your eyes!” I mumbled, “Your eyes are dead p>
“…what?” Reynaud froze in the act of sitting on the seat next to me.
“Yes your eyes don’t sparkle,” a part of me realized that I was speaking nonsense, but somehow I couldn’t seem to stop myself, “Why is that? What happened to you p>
He seemed to be pulling away from me then and I realized I had said something rude.
“Oh my goodness, I don’t know what I’m saying,” I laughed at myself, and then laughed at how absurd it was that I was laughing. Reynaud didn’t laugh, however. He seemed to be staring into the darkness.
“I… need to go check something,” he murmured, “sit here until you feel better p>
“Oh! You have to go!” I giggled again, even though it wasn’t funny at all, “Well I’ll be here p>
I closed my eyes and leaned back against the sofa behind me. I heard the curtains around us pull shut, and then I heard someone come in.
“You’re back!” I smiled and stretched out my arms, “I thought you were leaving me for good p>
“I would never do that,” Reynaud’s voice sounded lower and more gruff, “We need to get you to your
room p>
“Ok!” I smiled and reached for the Alpha’s arm to help myself up, then gasped as strong arms lifted my whole body off the seat instead, “Woah! You’re so strong p>
He didn’t respond, and the lights were swimming so strangely that I buried my head in his lapels as he carried me down the hallway and opened a door into a set of rooms.
The sun had set long ago, and the room was dark, but the Alpha’s hands gripped me tightly as he moved through the rooms with confidence. I felt him lay me down on a soft surface and realized it was a bed.

“Oh that feels nice,” I sighed comfortably.
“You should rest,” that low rumble of a voice spoke again.
“I should,” I agreed, “But please don’t leave me here alone. I’m so tired of being alone p>
He didn’t say anything, and I felt awkward hearing that hesitation.
“Are you sure?” the Alpha asked again, “I don’t want to take advantage p>
Something surged in me, a warm heat. I gasped at its delicious rush. I hadn’t felt this way since…
“That time in the woods!” I said out loud in wonder, then clapped my hand over my mouth in surprise.
“What did you say?” I felt the weight of someone sitting on the bed next to me, and a warm hand on my cheek, “Say that again p>
I inhaled deeply, staring at the dim outline of the man in front of me. Could it be him? The rogue from the
woods!
“You’re not a rogue!” I smiled happily, “You’re an alpha. MY alpha,” I threw myself forward, wrapping my arms around him tightly, “You came back for me p>
“I did,” he felt so strong and stiff beneath my embrace, but as I held onto him, he seemed to relax, “I’m
yours p>
