Jaden remained silent. There wasn’t much he could truly add to his friend and this deceiver’s conversation. They spoke of past he didn’t know and happenings he hadn’t experienced. Only what he could gather from information he already knew gave any indication as to what was going on here. They spoke of her leaving like it was something for her to be ashamed of. He knew she had left to find more than her family had to offer, but he had always assumed it was with their full consent and blessing. He had no reason to think otherwise until now.
But why he was here continued to be hard to comprehend. He would not be taking her by force. That would require the wounded wolf to fight through Jaden’s armed and towering form. X’ies was obviously intelligent enough to discount those thoughts. Even if he continued to act confidently, he had still come to a sudden stop when faced with a warning. His words were damning though, no doubt where he found his self-assurance was behind those sharp syllables. Jaden was more than a little shaken by them. His first bout at X’yrin was met with the same sustained anger and aggression as before. The questions he posed went unanswered. And when he took a well worded stab at the obsidian man, his warning growls fell silent.
Blue eyes shifted in a movement of disgust and anger from the other male’s relaxed form as the brute his words depicted rang as a clear copy of what Jaden feared in himself. The emotion in the movement was more at his inability to act against the pain now found on his mind than in himself, but that was still part of it. And more of his pride was injured by the simple ability for some stranger to read him so easily. Most anyone who would have said such a thing to the armed Alpha would have felt the poisonous words that bubbled into his maw as a response. But that would not only convey how deeply he had been stung to this witty wolf but also interrupt his dear friend’s reunion, if it could be called such. So he settled for silence, drawing his claw away from his friend to cross over his chest with its companion. He returned his narrowed gaze to X’ies and simmered quietly.
Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
