Alice liked Ian, but she still had a fundamental distrust for all lycan males. She had only known one other female, and she was able to produce male children. Even though they needed females, Louis still spoke about how lucky his beta was for finding a fertile woman. Even if she still had the affliction of the species. Alice didn't know why she was sterile, but she was always told how useless she was except for sex. Of course, the sterility was actually Louis', but she didn't know that...yet. Her body visibly relaxed by Ian's words, but she flinched a tensed again when Talton spoke. She grew slightly angry, but when Rich spoke, she realized that he was the Alpha. He wasn't as large, but he was obviously the leader, and he was looking at her strangely.<br/><br/>His words were calming to her until he threatened taking her anyway. She glared and her nostrils flared as she considered her options. Lycan males couldn't be trusted, but if they weren't sent by Louis, and they were able to heal her, then maybe they'd let her go and she could try to live a normal life. Besides, she didn't want to let their primative nature loose.<br/><br/>Sighing in exasperation, she nodded.<br/><br/>"Fine. I'm Alice. Thank you for killing the hunter."<br/><br/>That was all she'd say. As she moved forward to leave the cave and follow them, she gasped in pain and was forced to lean against the stone wall. Apparently her body had lasted this long, and walking more didn't make it happy.
