Evence glared at Merek as he slammed her door shut. "Don't slam my door." she muttered unhappily. A sigh escaped her as he continued on about the hostility between them both. Rolling her eyes as he declared he loved her, standing up and heading towards the stairs, she threw over her shoulder, "If that's all you have to say get out Merek.". She refused to be hurt again like she was when he rejected her.<br/><br/>Evence could feel her wolf howling out for Merek, begging Evence to let him stay. She could feel the pull of their mate bond, every year it became stronger of a pull and harder for her to shut him out. But she refused to allow herself to fall back into the fantasy of Merek wanting her. Of having a mate specifically made for her and having the perfect family, perfect life.<br/><br/>Pausing at the bottom of the stairs, she muttered, "Even if I did want it to work, I cant leave my family.".<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Rose couldn't help but laugh as Zane tried to threaten her. "Oh is that so? Well don't worry about it, I wouldn't dream of touching you, the big, bad scary Zane," she said in a teasing manner. All too ready and prepared to defend herself if he tried to hurt her. Pausing close to him, she leaned on a nearby tree and glanced up at the moon between the snow covered trees. "You have no idea. So whats your story? Why do you stay so close to the King so much?" she asked curiously.<br/><br/>Rose couldn't be much younger than Zane, maybe a couple inches shorter than him, but clearly very smart. Her eyes missed nothing as they studied him sitting below her. Bending down to sit next to him but not too close, she wanted to offer to help him. "You know I am a doctor, so I can check you out if you would like. I promise I wont try anything, just feel around make sure nothings too bad," she offered with a shrug.
