Return of the wolf....only i'm not alonepart13

Hey sorry it took so long... I had yet another slight mental block and was weighed down with work. :D

............................................

Recap:

Trey smiled reassuringly, interlacing my hand with his and said quietly " Don't worry... no-one will say anything"

All of a sudden I felt filled with calm and all my paranoia and nerves were gone, just the warmth of Treys touch and his power radiating into me.

Hmmm maybe I'll ask him about that at radiation thing he has going on some point... maybe all mates have that kind of strong energy....

I had a feeling that in this evening, finding Trey, realizing I was not alone was going to change everything. And for the first time in a while I felt myself smile.

As we walked down the stairs, and I began to see the main entrance came into our view I whispered, "You know that actually didn't answer my question Trey".

"Honestly Ryan - I don't particularly want to be here OK? I didn't want to have to deal with this at all. I didn't choose to be back. My boarding schools placement ran out.

And I listened patiently this morning so" she looked at the both of us tiredly, almost as if she had given up, " I just cant anymore today ok?"

Her quiet, firm voice resonated across the silent room before she turned, her blond hair a blur before she swiftly left and headed up the dark staircase.

To get away from us.

I felt tears well in my eyes but I pushed them back.

I knew she wasn't exactly pleased to be back but I hadn't realized that she didn't want to be back at all. That she would have rather had stayed in boarding school, alone and guarding a difficult secret which had been hell for us to keep, even with all the support we gave each other.

Had we really hurt her that much, so that she never wanted to return?

I knew that what we did was horrible and we had both spent the past year feeling sick about it but even with that she shouldn't she instinctively feel like we were family?

Wasn't she supposed to feel like she belonged with us?

Feel the deep-rooted pull to be part of a collective?

Most of our kind would have pined for the lost sense of belonging she hadn't had,

Though Marli didn't seem that way... there was a disconnection in her voice, which I had never come across.

Only from other.... But Marli wasn't ... she couldn't be? Right? ....I'd grown up with her.... And Marina and the others would have noticed wouldn't they?

The inclination to be alone was not something our kind regularly embraced, by definition, our finding our mates as soon as we turn sixteen and shift made it impossible to want to be disconnected... as soon as you find your mate you never want to be alone. I know I would never part from Blake willingly. Once you found that other part of you the thought of separation was unbearable.

But Marli's voice ... the quality of it.... the intensity of her power and the force of her words, the way they sent out a sort of wave of authority washing over the whole room, overpowering us made me think otherwise... bit the ability to harness that kind of power and unleash it was not common ... not common at all.

The waves of power that Marli had given off in the hallway earlier was astonishing..

That type of power wasn't something you come across everyday.
