thewolfinsideLays on the dock, staring up at the night sky, one arm hanging over the edge, fingers trailing in the water. The moon is nearly full and he can feel the beast rumbling within him. Holds up his other hand, watching the weak moonlight flash off the dark diamonds and sighs. Not sure what they're going to do, but the looks he's getting from the strays say that some of them aren't happy about this.
He can't bring himself to care if they are or not.

He closes his eyes and turns his face away.
"He was there, Cherry. He pulled me back from the edge. Not because I'm some lookalike of a guy he knew. Not because I'm another lycan, but because he cared about ME."

"I asked to be the one to talk to you because... The others would be angry, perhaps violent. Except Nathaniel. He'd adore you as he does him. You are strong enough to attract him as Gabriel does.'
Staring at him a bit longer.
"You can understand why we are concerned, can't you? You are not the Jason we know but you are still Jason. And no matter what differences there are, we know a man of enough cruelty to rape and murder and laugh about it. Seeing one we love mated to him? Hurts."

Date: 18 Jul 2005 05:36 (UTC)"I'm sorry it hurts you, but I can't change the way I feel about him. I won't."
Looks down, running a hand through his hair.
"I've fought too fucking hard to keep him as it is."
He looks up at her.
"He does care about you guys."

Date: 18 Jul 2005 05:46 (UTC)"Fine, don't fucking believe it, but you weren't there when she sent that fucking email saying she was going to kill the pard. You didn't see the fucking look on his face. He felt so fucking guilty because he thought he was saving you by leaving."
Stands and looks down at her, pissed.
"The Gabe from my world sold out the pard and was killed for it. The pard was killed for it. That's why he left and when he found out it didn't work, that you weren't safe, he fell apart. So don't tell me he doesn't fucking care about you."

Date: 18 Jul 2005 06:21 (UTC)"Sit up."
Shakes his head and sits back down, looking away from her. His next words are more to himself than her.
"From pet to Alpha's mate. Hey, Jason, you're moving up in the world."
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 06:23 (UTC)"What is it you wish from me, Jason?'
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 06:27 (UTC)"To give him a second chance. To step back and watch, see that he has changed."

Date: 18 Jul 2005 06:36 (UTC)Pauses, looking down.
"You'll need to clarify that last sentence. Who doesn't want whom to be anyone else?"
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 06:38 (UTC)Thinking, quiet.
"Nate loves Gabriel. Because he gives him attention. The kind he thinks he needs. He doesn't want your lover... he wants his Alpha. And I don't think he can have both."
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 06:44 (UTC)"She can't accept him, then she can go do her own thing. She can live away from us and show up during the moon or she can find a new pard, I don't care. Those that are here, our pard truly love and care about Gabe. They would do almost anything for him, because that's what they want, not what he wants.
Looks back at her.
"Yeah, that's going to be a problem, but we can fix it. It's going to take work, but we can fix it."

Date: 18 Jul 2005 07:17 (UTC)"Fuck no. I didn't do that to Nate, I sure as fuck wouldn't do it to Nathaniel."
Closes his eyes and takes a deep breath before continuing.
"New world, new pard, new rules. Nathaniel could be like Nate. Whole, healthy, Alpha. It will just take some work."

Date: 18 Jul 2005 07:27 (UTC)Snarling, eyes blanching, more toffee than gold.
"But we both know it's how it's done! How you break the human mind to not care. So don't snap at me. You may be my Alpha's mate... he has not announced you as Namir Raj and as you aren't pard? My respect is to him, not you. Remember that."
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 07:34 (UTC)"Watch it, little girl. You are here due to me. All it would take is me saying I wanted you gone and your ass would be out that door before morning, on your own, fighting to survive. Now, I will say this one. Last. Time.
New world. New pard. New rules. Now, you can keep being a bitch and get tossed out, or you can settle down, show some FUCKING respect for the one who helped save your ass and ask nicely how things are going to go with Nathaniel. And trust me, you go, HE stays."

Date: 18 Jul 2005 07:39 (UTC)But she said nothing as he spoke. Not a word. Until he was done. Her hand coming up fast, the nails human but acrylic, sharpened and lacquered. Clawing across his face, her lithe form twisting as she brings one leg up, working to nail him in the 'nads.

Date: 18 Jul 2005 07:47 (UTC)"Gonna have to do better than that, blondie."
Opens his eyes, the wolf staring at her. He doesn't move, just holds her down. Quietly taunting her.
"Come on, Cherry. You know you want to. Hit me, claw me. I can take it and a hell of a lot more. It won't change the fact that I'm his second, that I rank higher than you. All it will do is piss Gabe off. Or is that what you want, to prove me wrong. To show me that he hasn't changed and I've been lying to myself.
What are you waiting for? Do it."
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 07:57 (UTC)"Why didn't you just let us die? Is this our torment for telling Raina he was gone? To be once more reduced to nothing?"
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 08:00 (UTC)"Not to sound childish, but you started it. He may not have named me Namir-Raj, but I am still his mate and second, that demands more than a little respect."
Sighs and sits back, watching her.
"Fuck, I need a drink, I hate this politics shit."

Date: 18 Jul 2005 08:08 (UTC)Sighs and growls.
"I'm going to introduce you guys to Nate tomorrow, let you see who Nathaniel can be. Let him see who he can be, what he can have."
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 08:12 (UTC)"And if he doesn't want that?"
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 08:16 (UTC)Shakes his head.
"Doesn't matter to you anyway, you're not the one who's going to have to give up anything for him."
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 08:19 (UTC)Flipping herself onto her feet.
"Prove yourself the same monster Gabriel is."
no subject
Date: 18 Jul 2005 08:26 (UTC)"Monster? I'm the one who's going to have to give up a part of his life for Nathaniel. I'm the one who's going to have to make room in his bed, his marriage for Nathaniel.
Because Gabe won't turn away, and I won't make him do it."
