It was not too common for Conor Soul to wander around in the middle of the night like this, but his mind felt quite troubled lately. He carried many heavy thoughts, and heaviest of them all was those about Alexey Koios, the caretaker of Dahlia de Mai. It was her duty to take care of the pack’s young; had been her duty to take care of him and his brother when no one else seemed to want to. Despite all this, he knew that it was not only her co-rank that was the reason why they still lived together. There was a bond between them, he just knew there was. Conor had always adored and worshipped her, always loved her dearly. Now when he was older and closer to adulthood he had started to realize that what he now had felt for a long time for his guardian was no ordinary love like that a child had for its mother or father. It was something more.
It did not disgust the young boy to think about this. His love for Alexey was right, pure and good. He just wanted to be with her; wanted to repay her kindness; wanted to love her and take care of her and protect her like the dark male that had lived with her had not. He barely remembered the Stormbringer male at all. He knew that he had been Alexey’s mate for a short period of time, but he had left her and hurt her. Conor would never do such a thing. Never ever. He would die before hurting Alexey in any way. This was right. If he just could figure out a way to show her how much he loved her, how perfect they were for eachother-
A whimpering sound was caught by his golden ears and the young male blinked in confusion, for a moment not realizing where he was and what was happening. He had been completely distant. He was not even in Dahlia de Mai anymore. The sound had come from somewhere close, and he only had to take a few steps more before he saw the dark brown form of a young female on the ground, her appearance almost black because of the lack of light. He did not recognize her at all until he registered her scent. It was his cousin, Cambria. The golden boy’s eyebrows rose in awe. He had never seen her in luperci form before. It had been quite a while since they had seen each other in general.
Had she fallen and hurt herself? Conor rushed over to her side, forgetting that she maybe was in need of a moment too in order to recognize him. ”Cambi, what happened!” Conor’s voice sounded, full of worry, still thinking that she was hurt in some way.
