Listening to the girl speak intrigued Adler since it seems they had some similar thoughts. At the same time it struck a nerve, especially when she mentioned that that the werewolves relied on sacrifices and found it a bit selfish that she thought it was savage that they ate humans. Sacrifice or not, it didnâ€™t matter much to him, it was food. However did she not just eat with the other members of the pack, not noticing that the food was not human meat but that of an animal? It was not uncommon for the pack to go hunting itâ€™s just been difficult lately. Some werewolves relied on humans for food, while it was true that they were just trying to survive, but that was not always the case with this pack. He admitted that he has enjoyed the taste of human blood on his tongue The frown that appeared on his expression was faint and it slowly turned into a scowl after she was finished thinking.<br/><br/>A sigh escaped him and he soon crossed his arms and shook his head. Out of all the times he has spoken to humans, he has found a lot of them are the same.<br/><br/>â€œYou think like a human,â€ he told her, just being blunt about it. â€œThat is something Iâ€™d expect from a human, though, you are what you are. In the history books, did humans not make human and animal sacrifices fearing they would not survive if they didnâ€™t? Human history is covered in the blood of both humans and animals alike, just like the preternatural history is. Do you know how many Hunters come into our territory looking to kill us? Weâ€™re just game to them, trophies,â€ he paused. Hunters annoyed him greatly. They were always coming in hungry for blood just because they thought it was fun to hunt werewolves and other supernatural creatures. Konrad has always fought them back but he was growing weary as he gets older. â€œIâ€™m sick of all this killing, but that doesnâ€™t mean I wonâ€™t defend my family. Someday I truly believe that humans are more animalistic than we are; if they want peace then they need to put more of an effort towards their goal.â€<br/><br/>There was another pause, Was what he was saying even make sense to the girl? He hoped so, she didnâ€™t seem like she was completely stupid like humans loved to pretend they were sometimes. Though there have been times where he has wondered about that, wondering if humans really were just stupid in general most days. â€œIâ€™ll have you know my father does do his best but heâ€™s not perfect and sometimes, as wrong as it may seem, I donâ€™t blame his bloodlust and twisted sense of amusement. Heâ€™s seen his fair share of betrayal when it comes to humans and the rest of the pack is no different. What is your name by the way? Iâ€™m Adler, but Iâ€™m sure youâ€™ve already heard my name being called.â€ This girl was definitely an interesting one but her words still did not answer why she was so special. Why had Konrad spared her? Obviously she was not enjoying her time here, enjoying being alive, she would rather be free. Maybe he as just toying with her?<br/><br/>And speak of the devil. Adler tensed slightly at the scent of blood the moment his father entered the cave. He seemed to be in a pretty bad mood and he also took notice that he was covered in both his own blood and what he assumed to be the blood of the other pack.<br/><br/>â€œWeâ€™ve lost a few members in that fight, but those mutts wonâ€™t be bothering us again anytime soon so thatâ€™s all that matters,â€ Konrad seemed a bit distant despite being in a foul mood but considering he just said he lost some members of his pack it wasnâ€™t surprising. He never liked to lose pack members. They were his family after all and it was his job as Alpha to keep them safe. If he lost members, it made him seem incompetent and it made him feel miserable. He had his own way of mourning, it was rather secretive and he didnâ€™t really show it much. Years of experiencing death will do that to you, it will make you numb and somewhat indifferent to it. His days of mourning were almost completely gone and he would not hesitate to admit the fact that he didnâ€™t mourn whenever someone died. Instead he viewed it as an honorable thing, no matter how cruel, because in the end those that died did so for their pack.<br/><br/>The Alpha sat against the wall in his usual section, watching the fire still continuing to burn outside while he waited for his wounds to heal. Even if he was a werewolf he still felt pain and he would be lying if he said pain was not uncomfortable. It would take a few hours for his wounds to heal at most, he would rest until then. Sleep sounded nice right about now anyway.
