Merek smiled back at Evence. "I know you were protecting me. I show my feelings verbally, you show yours through actions. I am not defenseless, you don't have to put yourself at risk like that. Even before the wolf showed up you were defending me like the most important thing in the world. Evence I love you and I will not let you die protecting me." Merek ignored the way Boa looked at him, and instead focused on Zane and rose. It was definitely a love story unfolding between those two, he thought to himself. He had never seen Zane look at a woman the way he was now, and knew Zane would end up staying with her until the sun rose. Maybe even longer if he slept and allowed himself to recover. Zane wasn't the orthodox type of werewolf though, and Merek knew deep down that if something serious were to happen right now Zane would transform and fight to his last breath. Zane and Merek shared a deeper bond than just alpha and beta. They were also war-bound brothers, fighters to the very end. The battles they had endured together made their bond even tighter than most alpha-beta relationships.<br/><br/>-----<br/>Zane glanced at Evence and Merek before he replied to Rose. "I don't think I can make it home tonight. Besides, we were in the middle of a show I wasn't watching." Zane said as he started laughing. He put his arm around Rose and began to walk out into the city with her. Zane got a whiff of the blood from the unknown, which was on the ground. Zane knew that he knew this wolf, but he could not remember the how nor where. But for now he focused on Rose and all of her beauty.
