Maybe he should have realized the question was the line to be crossed. No one was ever sure, even the ones who claimed they were, so why did he feel so empty when Ahren walked away? He had never known that sexuality had been an issue for anyone and did not consider it to be offensive. Maybe it was just that he had seen too many people walk away from him before, physically, metaphorically. The borders were revolving doors and only he ever stayed in place. Not a single wolf that had been in the pack when he came wandering back years ago was still there. How many people had passed through since then? Walking away without a word. And he thought about why without any real focus. Maybe this, maybe that. Maybe he should have never placed so much value in the company -- hadn't he known not to get attached? Even when they were friends?
He finished his smoke, but the empty feeling didn't go away.
