His touch was gentle as he continued to massage her shoulders a bit longer while she slept. Even after Alder had returned he kept going until he placed her down on the ground completely and placed the flash near her for when she woke up. Before he got to making her a member of this pack he knew he was going to have to learn about these powers so he was not playing with fire. He didnâ€™t want to kill her in the process either, risk losing the powers forever. This was going to be a slow process but in the end he was going to have what he wanted whether this girl liked it or not. Already she was willing to help him, he just needed that trust to be strengthened and then be held for awhile. It might take months, maybe years before he figured this out completely. Konrad may be a little impatient sometimes but he knew when and when not to allow his impatience to get the best of him. Now was not a time, he needed to be patient.<br/><br/>Easy come, easy go.<br/><br/>A look of satisfaction came over both Konrad and Adler once the girl seemed to stir a bit in her sleep a bit more. However, rather that wake her he decided to just be quiet and let her do it herself as he kept his previous thoughts in mind. Rushing would not get him anywhere and she needed to rest after performing whatever healing that had been. The Alpha rubbed his chest, still able to feel her hands on him. He was no longer in pain which was a good thing but the wounds were still very sore to the touch and he had to be careful not to agitate them at all. Resting was becoming more and more welcoming, just like it had been when he first came into this cave after the fight. It had been his original intention after all but now his thoughts were lingering around those powers of hers. He slowly stood up from his spot and walked around a bit to release the remaining restlessness.<br/><br/>No sooner had he done that, he realized that he was feeling more pain than he realized but he was alright with that. Pain could easily be walked off so he would do just that. Anything to help him get back into the sleeping mood considering the accelerated healing seems to have messed that up a bit sadly. That could be a bad sign if he was going to utilize her powers for this pack. He did not want to disturb the natural instincts of a werewolf. He refused to sink to the level of man and destroy animals for his pleasure, because it was convenient. That being said, was that not just what he was going to do with the girl? Oh absolutely not. He had no intentions of doing that for the time being. When it came down to it, if someone were to become a true werewolf, they had to be willing to do so anyway. The more he was thinking about it the more he realized he could not force this.<br/><br/>â€œKonrad,â€ it was Sigmund again, â€œwe have found a few stray wolves roaming around. They probably heard the fighting and came to investigate. We can chase them away if itâ€™ll please you.â€ That was not surprising at all. They were probably just that, strays, looking for a bite to eat. Hell, they probably werenâ€™t even werewolves. â€˜Normalâ€™ wolves also shared this forest, as mentioned before, and for the most part he didnâ€™t pick a fight with them.<br/><br/>â€œLeave them,â€ was Konradâ€™s only response as he went to sit back down in his usual spot against the wall. Wincing slightly he clenched his jaw and carefully lay down on the cold floor. He looked over to Adler, who seemed to be tending to the girl, but he just let it go. The fire outside was gone now, so the cave was darker than it had been before. The darkness didnâ€™t bother him at all; he was not entirely a creature of the night but he still welcomed it. Within a few moments he had closed his eyes and drifted to sleep. He didnâ€™t have to worry too much, he knew the pack would keep him covered and he trusted Sigmund, Adler, and a few others enough to keep things in check while he rested. They all took turns keeping watch over the pack. This really was a family.<br/><br/>Adler, however, just let Sigmund handle things for now. His fascination for Loretta was growing. He wanted to learn more.
