A heavy exhale escaped Konrad as he paced around the cave for a bit, wondering what he should do with the girl. Since she was still refusing to kill the hare he might just have to teach her another lesson. When a faint yet dark smile appeared on his lips, the other members of the pack seemed to cower slightly; they didnâ€™t like when their alpha was like this. Some might wonder what his deal is but in reality this was all part of his plan and he was definitely not going to let her off easy. He wanted to see what her next move was, he noticed how she went for the axe and then stopped, how she was holding back her tears now and he wondered how long she would keep this up. Whether she liked it or not that hare was going to be dead by the end of the day. Ah, but what if she decides to set it free? Surely that would have crossed her mindâ€¦ well he would have to make sure to punish her further, to break her a little more.<br/><br/>Easy come easy go. This process was going to go by slowly, never rushed. It couldnâ€™t be rushed if he wanted it to be and he would make sure that his impatience didnâ€™t get the best of him in the future or else it might cost him. Even if he was generally calm most of the time he could be very impatient indeed. It was something he has been working on for quite some time. He did give her a choice to kill the hare despite saying that he was going to starve her if he refused. At least that much freedom was being allowed to her for the time being. Humans loved their ability to think for themselves, he would know this oh too well, take that away and they become quite irate. It was just another thing that made humans think they were superior.<br/><br/>He wondered if that was what she was thinking now. She was probably thinking that she was superior to him just because he lived differently than she did, because he was unforgiving. He was not always unforgiving, but he needed to get this girl thinking like a werewolf and not a human.<br/><br/>Konrad sighed quietly, leaning against the entrance the cave next to Sigmund, looking out to Loretta. â€œKill the hare,â€ he told Sigmund, who looked at him with a questioning gaze. At first the man was quiet, just looking at him. He was obviously confused by the order. Sometimes the alpha could be confusing; some said it was his old age getting to him. That was just something the packed joked about, however, and most likely was not true. When Sigmund didnâ€™t move he spoke again in a somewhat irritated tone, â€œ<span style="font-style: italic">Stottern ich das</span>?â€ The beta nodded and went outside to Loretta. As beta, Sigmund was loyal and didnâ€™t really question him but there were some times that concerned him greatly. They might be from an older generation but even Sigmund did not approve of such things. What was driving him to act this way, all for this girl?<br/><br/>Surely there was something that they were all missingâ€¦ but what? Well maybe it was time that Sigmund found out just why his alpha was getting so worked up over something that would otherwise be food.<br/><br/>Slowly approaching the table where the hare was still tied down Sigmund then took the axe and placed it over his shoulder. Speaking in a neutral tone, he said, â€œI guess there had been a time limit I wasnâ€™t aware of.â€ The hare was no longer struggling and seemed to just tremble slightly, eyes staring ahead at nothing in particular. The roped were tied tight around it from what he saw; Konrad always did well when it came to tying things down. â€œWhat a shame that you couldnâ€™t even complete a simple task and now someone must do it for you. You should have killed it, Iâ€™m sure he thinks even less of you now. Honestly I donâ€™t see why he didnâ€™t just kill you; Iâ€™m starting to wonder why youâ€™re even still here.â€ He smirked at her and raised the axe, â€œConsider this your first lessonâ€¦ if you want to call it that,â€ and then brought it down on the animal as hard as he could.
