<span style="font-style: italic">"It's very hard to get close to someone when their dead."</span>The words were harsh that came from her mouth. A little too harsh for even Cody. He wanted to mutter some snide remark but it seemed rather uncalled for. The fact that she was staring at him straight in the eye then suddenly twisted on her heel's and walked towards the back door seemed to strike some sort of nerve inside his body.<span style="font-style: italic"> â€œI need some air. Leave me alone for a couple of hours." </span>Then she spoke again and the words hurt like a knife inside his very own heart. It was an order but as Alpha Cody could ignore the order. That is if it was something he felt that would harm the other wolf. In fact he had a strong urge just run up to the girl and stop her in her tracks. But something fought against it. Something cold and dark inside him. A feeling that reminded him of his father.<br/><br/>He heaved a sigh and let her walk out the back door as it slammed in his face like a silent echo of hatred towards him. His heart pounded in almost anger, but also pain. Rage seemed to subside when another man in the pack...he was of course of lower standard to Cody seemed to walk to the re fridge and quickly grab a drink. Then as if the man could feel the air scampered out of the kitchen. He heaved another long sigh. The fact that he heard a couple feet scampering away and seeming to run around his yard made him realize that Selena had obviously given them a piece of her mind. Which was good but he was in a deep craving for a fight.<br/><br/>In fact the craving was so deep that he moved swung the back door open and chased the scent of the other male wolves. Till he caught them sitting in the front of his yard as if they were the shit. Well it was obvious that Selena was a bit a ways away. Though her scent still lingered in the air. He wanted to scream at the world. When his eyes landed on the male trio in front of him he heaved a long sigh. Fighting wouldn't do him any real good. When the problem was in fact women.<br/><br/>He made his way to the corner of the wall of his house trying to suppress every urge to find Selena. Instead his mind moved to Derek. He could sense the Beta wolf lingering in a bar that was just west of his house. The bar was in fact neutral territory. Meaning that any pack member could wander there. But if they went any further pain would strike them. Some unknowingly did pass that boundary. He heaved another sigh. Tonight seemed to be a night of sighing for him.<br/><br/>It was long that he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. The pain so great that he had to fall to the ground. A image shot in his head of Selena. Just sharp enough for him to take note of the chain around her neck. It was gold...and it was the chain that any Alpha could use to find a pack mate. It was called the bond. Once again his mind seemed to wander back to that girl. Why? He wasn't sure....Maybe it was just because of how bad he wanted sex. But he would never find out at this rate.<br/><br/>Instinct drove him back to his back yard , and his nose picked up Selena's sent almost instantly. His legs were already running at top speed into the forest. It seemed she just happened to be attracted to the forest...he would keep that in mind as his feet leaped over a tree branch, and he dodged a couple trees till he came to the very edge of his territory. He hadn't exactly knew why he had hurt out of nowhere. But he had a strong feeling it had to do with her.<br/><br/>At last he slid to a stop. Her scent was once again strongest here. Instantly he turned around to see her laying down on the ground facing the stars. It was a sweet thing to look at for him. But he was actually short of breath and had stand still for a moment to catch his breath. Which was unusual for him to actually have to try and get air. How fast had he ran? Had he ran faster than usual? He said nothing as he stood there staring at her. Then after a moment he spoke. â€œ It's nice sometimes to be out on your own in the woods. But the woods can be dangerous. Just remember that â€¦...But you should still find a little peace around here.â€ He heaved a sigh again. Those same sexual urges seemed to find themselves crawling back up his skin. He tried hard to shove them back. He waited for her to realize he was here. Or if she even wanted to speak with him. Patience seemed to be a tough game for him at the moment.
