Back in their room, Kai sat on the floor at the foot of the bed, staring at the ceiling as tears fell only to be soaked up by the sheets. The moment shed walked back inside, she regretted it. Regretted leaving Warren like that. She wanted to help him, she did, but when he blatantly pushed her out and closed off the bond, their bond, what else was she supposed to do? Yell at him until she went hoarse? Shake him until he listened to her? It all seemed so useless.<br/><br/>What she really wanted to do was smack him; it wouldn't be the first time. He could be so stubborn and so stupid at times. In the short time they'd known each other...she already wanted to strangle him. In a loving way, mind you. She'd asked herself why she was still there, why she loved that man so much even though he could be a major pain in the ass... Then it hit her.<br/><br/>He was so much like her father that it was scary. Her father, God rest his soul, was as stubborn as a mule and it used to infuriate her mother to no end. Yet at the end of every day, her mom always told her dad she loved him. And she understood why. While he was a stubborn fool, he was a good man. He tried to do right by his family, to protect them with all he had.<br/><br/>Warren loved her, he would do anything for her, and she knew that. Him pushing her away...he wasn't doing it on purpose. He'd been on his own for so long, had been through so much, things no one should ever go through not to mention alone. Warren had never had anyone there for him; not truly. His first mate betrayed him, had killed his son, and he had to go through that alone. He's spent so long bottling everything inside, distracting himself with wars and whatnot just so he didn't have to think about the tragedies he'd had to suffer through. He didn't know how to let anyone take care of him; not in the way he needed.<br/><br/>It was selfish of Kai to have just walked away the way she had. He needed her and she basically said 'fuck it' and walked off. Even if she didn't crack the surface at first, she couldn't give up on him.<br/><br/>Wiping her eyes, she left the room. Kai barely made it a few feet before something struck her. It felt like she'd been kicked in the stomach; all her breath leaving her, a small sense of fear lodged in the back of her mind. Speaking of. In their mind, her wolf whined. Nothing else; just pitiful whining. That's when she knew something was seriously wrong.<br/><br/>All but running out the back door, she stood on the step, looking down at Karren, tears falling down her cheeks, and a limp Warren.<br/><br/>"What happened?! What's wrong with him?!"
