<span style="font-style: italic">"Thank you. Even if you think it's not necessary for me to say it, it is for me. Come on, I want to go back to the house. It's late and I'm getting tired. Plus I would like to take a bath or shower if that's ok?" </span>Selena spoke this time being completely sincere. He couldn't help but flex his fingers as he felt the claws of a wolf seem to come out. His breaths seemed to stagger and he almost hadn't heard a word she said. But his ears made out the words the problem now was figuring out the scent that had wafted through his nose.<br/><br/>It was male and after the wind shifted and he got a better scent...soon realized it was his father. Who was not supposed to back in town...Immediately Cody was back on his feet and a growl escaped his lips. His eyes spotted his father seeming to be leaning against a tree. The man had thick short black hair, and cold blue eyes. In his father's hand was a knife that he twirled gently as if debating on what to do.<span style="font-style: italic">â€œCody Almerez Where is Derek?â€</span>The words were cold and cut right through Cody almost causing him to feel like ice.<span style="font-style: italic"> â€œDo I have to repeat myself boy. I left you in charge â€¦.If lets say someone to disappoint me isn't it my job to keep that person in line?â€</span>The words were like stone to him. His father payed little to no attention to him, but always payed high attention to Derek. Why well that was beyond him. This was why he hated his father so much.... the wolf inside him wanted to tear his father apart limb from limb. It was like that every time he saw the man. However it took even more control to just not do that.<br/><br/>â€œDerek is on high patrol...or in other words â€¦.he won't be at the house. I believe where he is at is none of your fucking business dad....However If he keeps treating Alison the way he is I will personally put that man into his grave...â€ At that the other man flashed like lighting and had slammed Cody against a tree with just one hand. That very hand was gripping around Cody's neck so hard that he was almost choking. The only good thing was that Selena seemed to be left out of the conversation which would be good for her.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€œCody I don't fucking care...what you do...Just DO NOT PUT DEREK IN THE GRAVE ...YET.â€ </span>The words came out as a harsh growl and when his father's eyes flicked to a more silvery color: Cody had no choice but to follow that order.  When his dad's hand let go of his throat he coughed. It was long till his eyes landed on Selena.<span style="font-style: italic"> â€œAnd who might this lovely female be? I pray that she is well guarded...for being fresh meat around here is just trouble.â€ </span>Then was gone even faster than he had showed up. Cody rubbed his hair as if to calm his nerves.<br/><br/>â€œYes I guess getting you some sleep and a shower would be priority.â€ Though this time his voice held little to no feeling in it. His voice even to him sounded strange. He sighed and looked at her. Then continued to walk by the way he had came. Not even seeming to care if she followed. It was her choice anyways to stay the night. He heaved a sigh he wouldn't hold her against her will. So he continued to walk to the house knowing that she was following him step by step. Once they reached the backyard he gestured for her to follow him through the back door, back through the kitchen and up the stairs. Then he unlocked his door and waited for her to enter. After she entered he stepped into his room and slammed the door. Locking it at the same time. â€œThe bathroom is the door to your left , and inside there should be a towel and such to help clean you. Use whatever you like.â€ Still his voice was partly cold and walked to his bed to flop onto it and just stare at the ceiling. He waited for the sound of the shower before he completely allowed himself to calm down.
