Feeling his own leave his side Brice's snarl only grew in fierce agitation and gression. He looked about in a blind panic till he felt her skin on his hand. His muscles flexed and tightened as she moved him only hearing tiny bits of her words as she gave orders to his pack members. His lips curled into a tight line showing his large sharp fangs even in human form they were razor sharp and deadly. Feeling her warm throat against his palm he smirked. His grip tightening instantly almost completely in threat allowing his claws to dig in ever so slightly. Though this burst of show had him dizzy and his grip weakened. A soft whine left his lips and he leaned into her touch. More then anything he wanted that touch right then.. not just for his physical pains but his heart as well.<br/><br/>Destin returned in time to whitness her submission to his alpha and Brice's hand release softly. He wasn't going to accept the kindness so easily not now.. not with such fear and rage in his thoughts. Destin walked over and nuzzled at Brice's shoulder "Easy there boss... settle down she ... she's alright. Things have been quiet while you have been out and I am sure we can explain everything to you... I think the threat for this time is gone enough to bring you some peace and ease... we need you at your best and that means you need to cool your jets and slow your roll. Listen to her... she maybe new but she knows what she is talking about.<br/><br/>Brice again heard bits and pieces of the words in his head. His eyes narrowed and closed tight as his head shook trying to fight a battle he knew he had already lost and would never get back. Slowly his eyes opened and showed signs of regression. His hand on her neck loosed and he moved it up to hold her jaw firmly in his fingers. "It takes a good deal to earn Destin's trust as you have... be thankful as I am to you.. your life has been speared..." he nodded and looked about taking a step in the darkness in some direction he didn't know. Destin rose a brow watching him before leaning over to speak to her, "Thanks.. I know it doesn't seem it but he really is very grateful like I am to you.. I can't imagine what kind of position he must feel he is in right now..." He frowned as he watched Brice stagger sniffing the air through his runny nose coughing before he held his side with the broken rib groaning out loudly.<br/><br/>Destin sighed and looked to her. "Ok, even I have to say this is pathetic.. I think it will be best for everyone if you take him to his 'house' in town.. I can show you his tunnel.. if you follow it up youll come to his human house within the neighborhood. He needs to recover away from the pack where hopefully his stubbornness will set aside for a little while. If he thinks he has to be strong to protect the pack now he will never relax and heal.. it will just make things worse. I can run our pack staying as beta while he is away and come by to check on him. We will keep tight guard while he is recovering and this way no one will have seen him leave... our threat may just be a human hunter.. and if not they will be waiting for signs we lost our alpha.. or are in distress... we need to be normal.. Since Brice is known as a hunter himself and fur trader in town I will say he has gone on a hunting trip like he does sometime and wont be back for a bit. Think you can watch after him.. and put him in place till he learns to deal with his new.." he looked over as Brice simply sat on the floor looking around lost to the world in that moment. "condition... plus I'm sure he will need to grieve over Toni.."
