More because her body was weakened by the shattering release bestowed upon her by the furry couple than because she needed a soothing embrace, Alexa slid into the werewolf's arms, basking in his warmth. Her anger remained bottled up for the time being as she had no one to direct it towards. Put wasn't responsible for taking control over her and Vivian's body like that so then who was it?<br/><br/>She didn't have the chance to dwell on those thoughts. Only when the werewolf reacted did Alexa raise her features away from his wide chest and looked at the newcomer. It was Kelly, the fox from his pack and she had nothing on her luscious body. The vampire narrowed her eyes. She recognized that empty look in Kelly's eyes and it brought her memories which she deemed to be long forgotten. That was the look of someone not only going through forced, physical abuse, but also far beyond the breaking of one's body. Alexa knew it all too well.<br/><br/>The werewolf's line was a little bit out of touch with reality. Of course, a warm hug was always better than kind words in times like these, but she doubted Kelly would ever seek to touch another male...at least for a while. Alexa slid away from his embrace, if he was going to comfort the white fox, he had to give her his full attention at least. The female vampire simply forgot her anger for what happened earlier on and focused it on Lugoj. It had to be the Darkling's fault, she knew there was something off with that man...but never did she expect for him to act this fast. What was his true purpose at the Inn and why would he endanger his stay here in such a foolish manner?<br/><br/>The redhead stepped to the side, not offering Kelly any kind of warm embrace (they were little more than strangers after all) but giving her the comfort of words:<br/><br/>"This will pass, dear, like everything else does. Should you choose this option, it will only make you stronger in the long term. Don't let it weaken you. The past can't be undone, but at least you'll get to witness his demise." She looked into her misery-filled eyes to make sure Kelly understood very well what she was talking about. "A chance I never got to savor." Alexa ended her words with a subtle confession. She wanted Kelly to understand that she too went through a similar experience and survived both physically and..eventually emotionally too. However, Alexa had the advantage of immortality and while time was said to heal all wounds, it took the vampiress centuries to completely overcome her fears and memories. For Kelly it had been, thankfully, just one episode in her life. For Alexa however, the nightmare lasted for years.<br/><br/>She wanted to leave Puternic and Kelly some kind of privacy. It was best to have a familiar face comforting you than strangers and if he was the leader of her pack...her leader...than she'd probably feel safer in his arms then than anywhere else on Earth.<br/><br/>Moving towards the fireplace, she sat next to Vivian, curling her legs beneath her and looking at the pixie's frame with a coy smile.<br/>"Was this part of the mating ball, I wonder. A little surprise entertainment for the guests perhaps... I'll have a word with Korono once she shows herself."<br/><br/>While Alexa realized that Kelly's state was due to Lugoj and had no doubts about it, the redhead failed to realize that both her and Vivian had been marked by the Darkling - a little something which worked in his favor eventually because otherwise she wouldn't linger casually by the fireplace, but seek to decapitate him instead.
