Alexander was honestly surprised Roxie had come out to see him. He expected her to call out her mate to rip him apart. He’d known that Ben and Roxie had reunited, and he felt nothing but anger and content for the both of them. She’d betrayed him. Sure, the mating bond was indeed hard to break, but it wasn’t impossible. Especially since Roxie had seen what the Beta was really like. He was nothing but cruel, evil bastard who only looked out for himself. That had been true ever since the three were pups. Alexander was no beta, one only needed to look at his stature and lack of muscle. He was barely taller then Roxie, and he didn’t believe he could take her in a fight. He was once an Omega, lowest in the pack. Now, he was a Rouge, and that was a fate worse the death. He is banished from all other packs, his werewolf form restricted by the the symbol that was forcibly burned into his flesh after the councils verdict. All of this because of one Beta, the same one his one-time friend was now fucking.<br/><br/>Yet, he didn’t show any of this. No, he had come here for but one reason. He had a mission, one he didn’t really wish to be apart of. “It’s... It’s alright. I’ll be gone before anyone even knows I’m here.” It was clear what Alex had become. He was a sad husk if his former self, everyone had turned their backs on him, and his loneliness had began to take its toll on his already weak form. “It’s been such a long time... I.. I just hope he’s treating you right.” He gently gestures toward the bedroom she had slipped out of, his opinion of Ben had in no way changed over time. “I came to give you this...” he reaches into the black coat he was wearing and removes a small wooden charm, it was an object Roxie should be familiar with, as she had given it to him so long ago. Alex didn’t know how she acquired it, but now he would return it. “You always said this would keep me safe... After everything that’s happened, you need it more then I do.”<br/><br/>He gently placed it in her hand before pulling back and stuffing his hands into his pockets. “I... I should go.” What else was he to say? It was hard for him to even look at<br/>Roxie, let alone be near the man who ruined his life. “You shouldn’t be so quick to trust him... even if he is your mate...” with that, Alexander walked down the hall, pulling his hood up as he did. He’d done what they’d asked. Now he could only hope they wouldn’t hurt her. It was only a few moments after Alexander had walked out of sight that Ben urgently opened the door and looked around, sniffing at the air before going to Roxie and asking rather concernedly “Was someone here, Roxie? I felt... odd... I smell something but at the same time it’s nothing.”
