Carlos and Zephyrine

[[deleted user]]

Evangeline wanted to melt into Alex and never leave his side, and felt cold wrap around her body as soon as he pulled away, though she did tilt her chin to accept the kiss. She closed the window behind Alex and took a deep breath before leaving the office, keeping an eye on where she knew Alex would be step-by-step, though she didn't know how or why. When she got downstairs, she pulled Loyka aside and said, "We need to talk." Before she turned to the room and said, "We're closing, everyone needs to go now." Though there were grumbles, people started clearing out. The entire room grew rigid when Alex entered, though, and didn't move enough to where Evangeline barked, "Out!" and even Loyka jumped. Finally everyone left and Evangeline sat her sister down at the bar.

[Carlos]

Alex waited until everybody was out though he watched them with distrust and once everyone was out he closed the doors shut and locked them both so that no one could just come inside as well as flip the sign to the side that read "Closed" before turning around and walked over to the back, closing and locking those doors as well before returning inside and went bar to where Evangeline and Loyka were at. Once he got to them he didn't sit down but remained standing up behind Evangeline though his eyes darted once in a while to every window and door as if he was waiting for something to come crashing and walking through them despite them being locked though he knew that locked doors and shut windows couldn't keep out a werewolf for even a few seconds as he had already experienced it but he knew that if anyone was coming he would hear them or catch their scent.

The younger sister could tell that Loyka was confused and annoyed, but at least the older girl jutted her chi in acknowledgement and hello to Alex before she gave Evangeline an irritated, 'well, get on with it!' look. Evangeline sighed and said, "I decided, because of everything going on, and with the information Laelee and Peljo gave Alex, that you're leaving town. Like, now." She had already given her sister at least the more important information of what had been advised that morning. Not much -okay, nothing- about imprinting.

"What? Why?" Loyka looked from Evangeline to Alex before her expression changed from confused to pissed. "Did you two-"

"No!" Evangeline interrupted her, not wanting to hear it. "Well... We..." She sighed and her lip, resisting to look up at Alex. "We imprinted." Loyka muttered something about them screwing everyone in the town over, but Evangeline spoke above her. "It's not controllable, you know that."

Loyka sighed and nodded. "Well, where do you think I'm going?" And Evangeline explained to the two where she thought it would be best for Loyka to hide out at, adding a the end that Alex wouls be taking her.

"Well, I'm not leaving you here," Loyka informed, crossing her arms. "Actually, you are. I'm staying," Evangeline said, also crossing her arms, though it was natural and not mimicking.

[Carlos]

Alex's face grew red for the third time that day in embarrassment and he looked away as he listened to the two talk. Despite it being only a few seconds Alex's patience was gone as he didn't want to spend the whole day there arguing and an growl came from him as he said "We don't got time for this." then he walked from behind Evangeline to Loyka so he was standing in front of her a few inches away thinking "I'm sorry about this Evangeline. Forgive me." and he placed his hand under Loyka's chin so that she couldn't look away from him and he looked her in the eyes as he said "You will listen to Evangeline. You will go along with the plan and you will let me take you away and you will stay where I take you until we come back for you." though as he talked his voice took an hard double edged yet very powerful tone as he used his alpha voice on Loyka so she would have no choice but to listen and obey what Alex said. He didn't want to take her will away and force her to obey him but he didn't want to waste any more time then they already had in those minutes.

[[deleted user]]

Alex's voice was so forceful and powerful that even Evangeline tilted her head and bared her neck in submission, although she had no reason to. Loyka's eyes widened and she nodded her head just a little, her arms falling out of their defensive hold. "Alright," and that was all the push Evangeline needed to shoot up from her seat and duck into a door behind the bar, emerging seconds later with a backpack full of clothing and supplies for her sister. They kept these bags in times of need for when they helped others get out of the pack, and she pulled her sister to stand before giving her the bag. She wished she could have a moment to acknoledge maybe not seeing her sister again, but a muscle feathered in her jaw at the realization that she had to find Nick and keep him at bay. She wrapped her arms around her taller sister and pressed her lips to her cheek before looking at Alex, thinking to him and not Loyka, Do not apologize for actin in what you were born to be. Do not apologize for saving my sister's life. She let go of Loyka and pressed her hand to Alex's arm, reaching up to peck his lips before saying aloud, "Thank you." Evangeline did not wait for an answer before she turned and left the bar, keeping the burning in her eyes that threatened for her to cry again in check.

[Carlos]

Alex watched Evangeline leave the bar and despite wanting to go after her he knew he couldn't and to try to avoid the urge to go after her Alex said "Come on." before gently grabbing Loyka's arm, leading her to outside then he went up to an sports car that was parked nearby and he said "This will do nicely." before he broke into the car and sat in it, uncovering an panel and he messed with the wires for a few seconds before he managed to hotwire it. Once he heard the sound of the cars engine roaring to life he got back out and led Loyka to the passenger side, helping her in and shutting the door behind her before going back over to the drivers side and got in then he took the brake off and stepped on the gas pedal, the car shooting out of the parking lot and speed down the road as he thought "Be safe Evangeline.

[[deleted user]]

Lotka recovered over the shock of Alex breaking into the car quickly, and once she buckled and settled into the passenger's seat, she turned to him, a dead serious look on her face as she promised, "If you hurt my sister, I will kill you." It hardly mattered that Nick had already hurt her baby sister, she couldn't do anything about that with a man who had so much pull in the town. Alex, however, didn't. And if he dared imprint on the only family she had left, Loyka certainly felt comfortable keeping a close eye on him.

Evangeline realized that Nick was somewhere that she couldn't sense or smell, and decided to bring him to her. She headed to her house and unlocked the front door, leaving it open a crack before heading to the kitchen. Her head still ached, though whether from stress or what -perhaps the inevitable end stages of imprinting?- she didn't know. She rifled through her medicine cabinet as she tried to think of a way to get Nick's attention when an exploding pain coursed through her head and she began to see images that she hadn't ever seen before. A pale girl with dark hair; a big guy with dreadlocks; a smashed-in football helmet with someone's head still inside. She saw her own memories too, and noted that they started from right before she met Alex, from yesterday morning when Nick choked her, and went backwards, even as far back as to when she was a toddler, with another child.

[Carlos]

Alex didn't at all seemed impressed with the threat as he continued driving, the trees and building going behind them in a blur as he drove faster and he said "I wouldn't hurt my own mate. Not like Nick." and he continued driving when Alex gasped as his head seemed to explode in pain and the car swerved a bit, almost crashing into the side rails before Alex managed to get back on the road but his teeth which had become pointed a bit were bared together as the pain continued and images started appearing in his mind that he was sure weren't his so he guessed they were Evangeline's but some of them were mixed with his own even though some he didn't remember. Him when he was a toddler though it was when he lived in town and was standing with another toddler, an girl, who he assumed was Evangeline, him and his parents with the pack along with his grandfather and grandmother as well as his godparents then they sped up to when Alex was at the bar and he first met Evangeline as well as the fight with the other male werewolf.

[[deleted user]]

"Good-" Loyka replied, shouting in shock when Alex swerved. "Are you alright?" She demanded, but he didn't seem to hear.

Evangeline gritted her teeth at the pain and images. She didn't want Alex seeing them, but knowing she saw his -including the mutilated bodies of his parents, which scared her- told her that he had to have been remembering as well. The last image that she saw in knowledge of hers was what she really didn't want him to see, never mind her sleeping with Nick or otherwise, it was that of blood on Evangeline's hands and claws and a small boy lying dead before her.

She gasped and began wheezing, trying to breathe properly at the memory. Evangeline yelled and fell into a sitting position on the floor, crying and repeating 'no' over and over again, though she still had to sit through more images.

[Carlos]

Alex didn't answer in return but instead just pushed down more on the gas pedal, going way past the speed limit as he continued to keep on driving, his teeth slowly turning to normal though his head was still in pain. A few seconds later Alex saw that they were close to their destination, just a couple of feet away, and he slammed his foot down on the brake making the tires squeal loudly against the road before the car came to an stop, a bit of smoke rising from the ground on either side of the car from the force of the stop. He left the car on and remained sitting down in the car with his hands on the wheel as he looked at Loyke and in the same hard double edged yet very powerful tone like before he said "Just a couple of minutes from here there's an house that my parents owned. Its big but hidden in the forest as well as far enough from the town so you'll be safe from Nick. Just follow the scent, go inside the house but whatever you do don't leave and head back to town until me and Evangeline come back for you."

[[deleted user]]

Loyka slowly got over the shock of Alex's brazenness, wrapping her fingers around the strap of the backpack and unbuckling. "Thank you, Alex. Be careful," she whispered, not waiting for a reply before she pulled herself out of the sports car, shouldering the backpack and stepping away. She only gave one glance at him through the window before taking off with her supernatural speed through the woods.

Back in their town, inside Evangeline's house, the young woman gripped the counter but did not pull herself to stand, her skin still damp from her panic attack. It took her a good while to calm down, and she hadn't even stood before she heard her front door creak open, footsteps to follow. "Serves you for betraying me," grumbled the voice that made her jump, reflexively leaping to stand and act as normal as she could, although it was obviously too late. Nick grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the kitchen and down the hallway, all the way out and to his car. "Come on," he ordered when she protested, pushing her up into the passenger side of his truck. She watched as he walked over and climbed into the driver's seat. "What did he do, hit you?" Nick was obviously mocking, and Evangeline did not deign to respond, her nails digging into her jeans as she looked solemnly out of the window. The man grunted and fired up his truck, pulling out of her driveway to take them wherever he planned.

[Carlos]

Alex didn't bother watching Loyka walk away as he slammed his foot down on the gas pedal so that the pedal went all the way down and with the sound of screeching tires as they spun in the dirt the car shot back down the road leaving an small spray of dirt, rocks and dust in its wake as both car and driver headed back to town. Alex arrived back in town a couple of minutes later due to the speed that he drove at, faster then when he was driving with Loyka without stopping and surprisingly without any accidents and he thought "I'm back Evangeline. Where are you?"

[[deleted user]]

The sigh from Evangeline's lips when he heard Alex seemed to annoy Nick, and she was about to reply, thinking, I'm with-, but was cut off by Nick's rough voice. "What's up with you?" he demanded, his hand grabbing her chin to force her gaze on him. Something in her expression made his face turn from annoyed to grim, and he said, "I have someone waiting at our house to go over some plans with us." Evangeline hated that -their house, but she swallowed and nodded, turning away again as soon as he let go of her face. I'm with Nick, she told Alex.


((Sorry it's short.))

[Carlos]

Alex's foot slammed down onto power of the brake and with the sound of squealing tires the car came to an quick stop while leaving black tire marks into the street from the sudden break. His hand grip on the steering wheel tightened until his fingers started to turn white as his body began shaking violently from anger which in turn made the car shake as well, an low growl ripping through him and his eyes beginning to change as his body threatened to phase though he began taking slow but steady breathes until he stopped shaking violently, his heartbeat becoming steady and his eyes changed back as he managed to stop himself from phasing though his grip on the wheel remained tight. He took his foot off the brake and turned the car around before driving forward as, with his thoughts angry, he thought to Evangeline "I'm coming after you guys." Even though Alex hadn't seen which way the two had went he was pretty much relying only on Evangeline's scent to follow them.

[[deleted user]]

Evangeline pursed her lips and shot a quick glance at Nick to make sure he wasn't watching before replying to Alex. Please just leave it- it isn't time to end this right now, she thought, meaning that it wouldn't be worth it to try and get rid of Nick when they had so little resources. I will meet you back at my house tonight- he just has... Evangeline paused when Nick stopped his truck in the driveway of their obscenely large house, narrowing her eyes at the car parked next to them. "Who exactly is waiting for us?" she demanded, furrowing her brow in annoyance at Nick. He seemed equally annoyed with her attitude and shook his head, hopping out of the truck to come and meet her on the other side, pulling her out without even waiting for her to get out on her own. She quickly finished her thought to Alex, Just wait for me to tell you I need you, as she thought that was probably the safest bet.

[Carlos]

Another growl came from Alex as he stopped the car again and he just sat there for a couple of seconds gripping the steering wheel then after a bit with his anger barely contained he thought "Fine. I'll stay out of it for now but if your not at your house by tonight I'm coming to get you no matter what. I don't care who or what I have to hurt to get to you." In both of his sentences there was an angry edge to his words that seemed unlike him but in truth both him and his wolf were worried about their mate's safety. He remained sitting there then when he was calm again he thought "Please promise me that you'll be at your house Evangeline. I don't want to hurt anyone else but if it means that you'll be safe and with me then I will do whatever I have to do if it means you coming back to me. though despite trying to remain calm there was sadness and fear in his words from him worrying about her safety and in fear of losing her to Nick.

[[deleted user]]

Evangeline listened intently to Alex, so much so that she tripped walking up the steps to Nick's giant house. He muttered something belittling to her and pulled her to stand, slamming open the front door. Evangeline didn't promise to Alex, all she replied was, I love you. She took her coat off and hung it in the hallway, Nick dragging her to the dining room where an old lady sat on the floor on a pillow, the table and chair gone, in its' place a few pillows circled around a blanket. She looked up at Evangeline with a strange, old knowledge in her eyes, pointing to one seat for the girl and another pillow for Nick. As the young woman sat, she realized what this was, and internally groaned. The preparation meeting for a marriage ritual- which meant Nick was pushing thing along faster than she had thought. The woman stared Evangeline down in an uncomfortable silence before picking up a small clay cup and filling it with something hot from an old pot in the middle of the blanket. She handed one to Evangeline and another to Nick, she said when Nick was about to sip, "Hold your face over the steam, then cup your hand over the rim," in a raspy voice.

[Carlos]

Alex remained sitting in the car with the engine still running, his grip on the steering wheel still tight as he glared at the road laid out infront of him. He hated the fact the he was suppose to wait until later that night to see Evangeline again but he knew she was right in what she told him. He remained glaring at the road when he felt something stir within his mind and a couple of minutes later an deep voice said What are you doing? We should be out there going to Evangeline instead of just sitting here holding our breaths. The voice belonged to Alex's wolf and it surprised him a bit as his wolf had talked to him only twice before. Alex moved a bit in his seat as he thought "Evangeline told us to wait for her until nighttime." which earned him an snort in amusment as his wolf replied "Even if she is our mate since when have either of us ever listened to what people have told us to do? Are you willing to lose her like how you lost your only two friends and both of your parents?" Alex growled deeply as the memory of losing both his foster parents and real parents came back to him but despite his anger there were stronger emotions of sadness, pain and grief that brought tears to his eyes. With sadness in his voice his wolf said "You may have lost your friends and parents but we can make your lonelyness dissapear if our mate is with us." and Alex wiped his face with the back of his hand then he thought "Your right. Even if she is our mate we should still do what we feel is right and bring her back." which earned him a feeling of satisfaction from his wolf as Alex sped of towards Evangeline.

[[deleted user]]

Evangeline paused, wondering if this would seal some sort of pact between her and Nick. In that case, she didn't want to- it would be as bad as marrying him. But apparently Nick was waiting for her to take the instructions, and nudged her not so gently when she didn't. She swallowed and leaned her face over the cup for a moment before sealing the top with her hand. Within the moment Nick did so as well, she felt something showing up on the side of her face, and with the touch of her free hand she felt four raised marks that stung. From a mirror the woman held up, it looked like a claw mark slashed her left cheek from the hollow of her eye down to her neck. She froze, looking over to Nick, but he remained unmarked, despite the ugly aging that showed on his face. He looked sick and evil, and a glance at her own reflection showed that, while accompanied by the marking on her face and some other scars, she remained as pretty as she already was. She froze again, feeling a strange thread pulling in her chest, and she knew it had something to do with Alex, which made her feel nervous. Was he disobeying her request?

Over the next few minutes a few other rituals took place before the old woman disappeared when Evangeline had glanced away, and Nick had already stood. She touched her face and the mark had gone, and Nick looked normal. She sighed and stood as well, turning to leave. "Where are you going?" Nick asked, stepping close to her.

[Carlos]

As Alexander drove off down the road he quickly realized that he had no idea whatsoever where he was going at all but he had an nagging feeling at the back of his head that he had a feeling he should follow and follow it he did. He didn't know how but after a couple of minutes driving he came to an stop a couple of feet from the house where he had a feeling that Evangeline was at as well as Nick. The thought of Nick being there made his grip on the wheel tighten until he could feel it almost past its breaking point so he let go and took the next couple of seconds taking deep breaths in order to calm himself down. It worked for a bit though just as quickly as he would feel calm his anger would come back just as fast and realizing that it would be pointless to try to calm down he got out of the car, not even bothering to close to door behind him as he began making his way to the house while preparing to change in a moments notice though it was obvious that he was threateningly close to loosing control from the way his eyes changed from their regular color to the color of his wolf eyes.

[Carlos]

As Alexander drew closer the scents coming from the house grew stronger with one of them recognizing to belong to Evangeline which confirmed his question if she was there or not. He came to an stop about a foot or so in front of the house with his hands curling and uncurling in attempts to control himself as well as the change though his eyes remained how they were. He had to wait only for a couple of minutes before the front door open and Nick walked out of the house with Evangeline following in pursuit. At first glance, physically, Evangeline didn't appear harmed or injured for which made Alexander feel glad but upon further inspection he saw that she appeared panicked and scared at the same time as well as the strong scent of Nick covering him. An growl came from him though he managed to resist the urge to change as he looked back to Nick and said "Let Evangeline go. She's not yours to have." Surprisingly, as he talked, he managed to keep his voice calm though there was an slight tremor of anger in his voice that betrayed how he was really feeling. That and the fact he was right on the boarder line or rather edge of losing control of himself.

[Carlos]

Alexander's hands clenched slightly at Nick's laugh, the laugh sounding sickening to his ears though the sigh of Evangeline wince made him restrain himself. Even though she didn't appear to be injured he didn't want to risk it so for the sake of her he forced himself to remain calm. Surprisingly he remained quiet throughout Nick's speech though he did grit his teeth together when Evangeline tried to get Nicks hand off her shoulder but it remained where it was at. At Nick finished talking the place was filled with silence as Alexander didn't talk but after a couple of seconds with his eyes on the ground he said "I don't care about some stupid treaty. She isn't some object that you get to keep just because her parents gave her away so that they can leave. She has a choice whether she wants to stay with you or go on her own." After a couple of seconds he looked back up as, with his voice full of anger, he said "So no I'm not leaving just because you say so. Not while Evangeline stuck here with you and especially when my family's pack is being lead by some person who doesn't even deserve to lead them much less call themselves an alpha." In all he was basically challenging Nick for Evangeline's freedom and even the right to lead the pack which, technically, rightfully belonged to Alexander while he was still alive.

[Carlos]

Surprisingly Alexandrrs temper didn't flare nor did he change at Nicks words despite the fact that they were basically insulting someone. What did make his temper flare when he heard the sound of Evangeline and he looked to see Nicks hands, which had changed into claws, we're now digging into Evangeline's shoulder and he even thought he saw some blood begin to appear though instead of doing anything he remained where he stood at in fear that if he did make a move it would end up with Nick hurting Evangeline any further so he remained where he stood. His eyes flickered from Evangeline back to Nick at hearing his words though he didn't deny that there was some truth to Nicks words which momentarily sparked some guilt through him and, unknowingly, through his link with Evangeline but just as quickly as it had appeared it vanished. He was being controlling about Evangeline though unlike Nick he wasn't doing it out of lust. He was acting like how a mate should and out of protectiveness over Evangeline, wanting her to be safe. This time he knowingly sent those feelings to Evangeline so that she would know how he felt. "If your confident that you could kill me then why haven't you done it by now? You could have killed me many times since I've been in town yet you haven't."

[Carlos]

If Alexander had fur it would be standing on edge by now at hearing Nicks words. "Your disgusting." Alexander growled softly though the next thing he knew Evangeline had changed and the two seemed to be at a standoff so he didn't move. He waited whee he was as the two walked over to where he was at and when Evangeline shoved into him he immediately caught her by wrapping his arms around her waist. He turned around and began walking back to the car with Evangeline in his arms, without a second glance back at Nick though at hearing his words Alexander growled softly though made no attempt to go back and instead just focused on getting Evangeline to the car as he murmured "You okay?"

[Carlos]

Alexander helped Evangeline into the passenger side of the car before he closed the door behind her and got into the drivers side, starting the car and driving off away from the house. As he drove he glanced up at the mirror to see the neck of Evangeline's sweater pulled off her shoulder to reveal claw marks along her skin where Nick has got her. His hands tightened around the steering wheel as he swallowed back a growl that threatened to come out and instead just concentrated on driving. He could feel the marks in his own shoulder and not for the first time he wish the bond didn't involve each other sharing the same wound though this was mostly because of his decreased healing. He nodded his head slightly and murmured "Okay. We'll go see about it." as he began driving off, following his instincts on where to go.

[Carlos]

For the rest of the drive Alexander had remained silent as he thought that Evangeline would want it like that after what happened. That as well as the fact that he was still trying to make sense of Evangeline's memories going through his mind as most of them were staticky and grouped together like a television acting up so it made it confusing for him as well as a bit painful trying to process it all. In the end he decided to shut his mind off from Evangeline so that the flood of memories would stop but left enough of the link opened that he could sense her feelings. After a few minutes he heard Evangeline and in response he continued driving until he came to a stop about a couple of feet in front of the old, shutting off the car and getting out to help Evangeline.

[Carlos]

Alexander helped Evangeline out of the car and closed the door behind her before he began walking alongside her towards the front door of the house. As they walked he figured that it would be best for the moment to remain quiet to allow both of them any privacy they had to themselves. It only took a few seconds until he came to a stop at the door and another couple of seconds for Evangeline to pick the lock before they walked inside with him closing the door behind them. As soon as he walked in he was met with the smell of the dust filled house which made him scrunch his nose a bit though he did his best to ignore it as he followed Evangeline to the dining room, taking a seat on the chair as he waited for Evangeline to come back. Again it only took a minute before she came back with something that looked like a first aid kit and without arguing he did as he was told as he took off his shirt exposing the toned, muscular and lean body build hidden underneath the shirt. To be honest he was never one to be bothered or even embarrassed about taking off his shirt or any clothes in particular in front of others.

[Carlos]

An slight feeling of amusement flared inside Alexander's mind at the sight of Evangeline blushing but he did his best to ignore it as he winced slightly at the stinging feeling of the alcohol wipes as Evangeline cleaning his shoulder, an slight stinging feeling going through his body but other then that he didn't move. He remained sitting there still as he waited for her to finish cleaning him and when she finished he nodded his head slightly as he rolled his shoulder just to make sure that nothing else was wrong with it. Once he assumed nothing else was wrong he leaned back in his chair though he made no attempt to put his shirt back on as he just sat there and listened to Evangeline's before he said "You mean the wound or about what happened earlier?" as he lightly tapped the side of his temple indicating the exchange of memories for the latter of his question

[Carlos]

"Oh." Alexander said when Evangeline said she meant the link but when she mentioned the football field his face became hard at the memory. Even though it had been a while since he had even thought back to his old life he didn't exactly enjoy thinking about it as it still hurt him a bit to think about it, especially when it came to remembering Jordan and Moira so he did his best not to think about them. Even so an small flare of sadness shot through him and his hands shook a bit at the memory of his old friends though he managed to get control of himself as he listened to her before saying a bit coldly "Look, I don't want to remember right now so let's save the conversation for another time." After a couple of minutes he realized that he might have said it a bit meaner then he meant to and his face softened as he moved forward so that he was sitting right in front of her, taking her hands in his gently as he said "I'm not angry at you or anything like that. It's just that it still hurts a bit remembering my life before I changed and along with the fact that your memories were rushing into my head it was a bit overwhelming." He gently squeezed her hands and gave her an small smile before continuing. "For the moment I'm just keeping some of my mind closed from you so that I'm don't get to confused trying to sort your memories from my own and my memories aren't confusing you."

[Carlos]

Alexander felt an jolt of happiness when Evangeline smiled at him and for some reason he felt his face heat up as he blushed a bit though just as quickly it had appeared his blush faded. He felt a bit happy when she agreed to talk about the memories later and just sat there enjoying the feeling of holding her hands in his own. After a couple of seconds he felt her hand cup his cheek and a small smile appeared on his lips as he leaned his cheek gently into her hand and said "After this I promise I'll tell you anything you want." He closed his eyes slightly for a few seconds before he opened his eyes to look at Evangeline as he said "You want to go lay down for a bit before we do anything else?" As he talked he realized that he might have sounded like he was suggesting they do something else though he did his best to ignore it.

[Carlos]

Alexander felt a bit relieved when she didn't seem to notice what he had almost sounded like and he remained sitting down when she stood up as he watched her clean up the mess before she left the room. While she was gone he got up and did his best to clean up any remaining mess though he didn't have to do it for long as Evangeline came back a minute later. He looked at her and noticed she looked a bit noticed though before he could ask she had started talking in which he became quiet. After she finished he thought over her question before shrugging his shoulders as he said "Sure." and walked back over to the chair he had been sitting in before, grabbing it and sliding it back on gently.

[Carlos]

Alexander nodded his head slightly in response to Evangeline and said "Okay." He waited for her to walk upstairs first so that she could get some privacy before walking upstairs as well. He made it to the top of the stairs and looked around at the rooms so that he could tell which one Evangeline was in before he walked into the room he assumed was the guest room that Evangeline had talked about. He went to the closet and opened it as he looked through its contents before settling on a pair of shorts which looked like the only clothing in there that would fit him. He went into the bathroom though he closed the door behind him slightly before turning into the shower which he walked to and turned on the water, waiting for the water to turn warm before slipping out of his clothes and stepping inside while closing the curtain behind him.

[Carlos]

It only took Alexander about a couple of minutes to get cleaned up before turning off the water and stepping out of the shower, grabbing a towel nearby and using it to dry himself off. He hung it over the shower rail once he was completely dry except for his hair which remained wet though he managed to ignore it as he threw on the pair of shorts and walked back into the room, frowning faintly when he saw that Evangeline wasn't there. Instead of becoming worried he decided to wait and instead laid down on the bed, moving o to his back and with his arms folded across his stomach as he stared up at the ceiling.

[Carlos]

As Alexander laid there on the bed waiting he began to feel a bit relaxed and started to open the link fully. At first he did it slowly so that he wouldn't immediately be overwhelmed but after mentally seeing that the memories had stopped rushing in he opened the link fully and unknowingly an small smile appeared on his face. He didn't know why but for some reason he felt less alone whenever his and Evangeline's link was fully opened, feeling more like he was there as a whole and less like he was missing a part of him. After a couple of seconds he opened his eyes to find Evangeline in the room as well and he watched as she got on the bed next to him while holding out a picture to him. Curious he took it and looked at the front to find a picture of him and Evangeline as kids chasing each other, an light chuckle escaping him as he looked at the picture one more time before looking back to Evangeline with a faint smile as he handed the picture back to her.

[Carlos]

Despite himself Alexander couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly at Evangeline's words though at the same time he chuckled softly again before saying "At least back then you were more willing to be caught then you are now." An slight smile appeared across his face when she laid down next to him and he closed his eyes slightly as he just laid there enjoying the feeling of her laying next to him, giving her a hand a gentle squeeze. After a couple of seconds he opened his eyes at hearing her question and he shrugged his shoulders as he said "It doesn't hurt that much anymore if that's what your wondering." He took his hand from hers and carefully lifted up the bandages from his shoulder, an slight frown appearing on his face despite himself at seeing that the scratches had barely begun to heal and with an soft sigh he put the bandages back on as he said "Though I do miss how fast I use to be able to heal."

(its okay)

Alexander turned his head to look at her with some puzzlement on his face at her comment as he said "It's not your fault." Once he saw that she was looking away he looked back up at the ceiling and closed his eyes where he remained laying down with his hands placed across his stomach. He attempted to fall asleep but for some reason he couldn't though it could haven been a bit that Evangeline was laying down right next to him which for some reason made him feel a bit nervous. Nevertheless he tried to fall asleep but before he could he heard Evangeline's question which made him remain silent as he pondered whether he could fake that he was sleeping but thought that it would be better not to. He turned a bit onto his side so that he was facing her and he remained silent as he pondered the question in his head before he said "If you would have asked me that when I was still new at changing and stuff like that I would have said yes but now... I'm at peace with what I am. Besides if I hadn't been a werewolf then I don't think I would have met you." At his last sentence an small yet somehow loving smile appeared on his face as he looked at Evangeline.

[Carlos]

Alexander chuckled softly at Evangeline messing with his hair though he made no movement to stop her as he instead rather enjoyed the feeling. Despite that he was caught off guard a bit by her comment and for a couple of seconds all he could do was stare at her until he snapped out of it in which he rolled his eyes slightly in response as he teasingly said "Yea. I would be missing out on a lot of stuff if I wasn't a werewolf." though at the same time there was a bit of sarcasm in his voice. He fell silent upon hearing her question and he thought it over a bit before saying "Sometimes no but most of the time I do."

[Carlos]

Alexander felt some annoyance when Evangeline moved her hand away but almost immediately calmed down when her hand moved to the back of his head where she continued playing with his hair. He remained quiet as she talked partly because he wanted to hear her and the other half being that he had nothing to respond back to what she said though at the same time he felt his face heat up a bit as he figured that she did compliment him which managed to make him feel a bit happy. As he laid there he seemed to be thinking about something but at the same time he looked to be hesitating until after a couple of seconds he seemed to have gathered his courage as he moved closer to her until he was laying a couple of inches and hesitating again he wrapped his arms gently around her, holding her gently against his own body though made sure to keep his hands away from the parts of her body in which he thought that he might get slapped for touching as well as making sure to keep his arms loose so that she could pull away if she wanted to. He didn't exactly know what made him do this but at the same time he didn't want to pull away as it felt right in a way to be holding her in his arms

[Carlos]

At feeling Evangeline's body stiffen upon contact Alexander went to let go but after seeing that she didn't appear to mind what he was doing he kept his arms arms wrapped around her though seemingly more gently as if afraid he might hurt her. In truth he was a bit afraid that he might but mostly he didn't want to seem as if he was being possessive of her. As he laid there holding her in his arms he could feel her hear beating against his body which for some reason was rather soothing in a way while at the same time he was beginning to feel nervous though this was more likely because Evangeline was against him.

[Carlos]

As Alexander laid there holding Evangeline in his arms he did his best to focus on anything but here, even attempting to distract himself by counting sheep. Apparently that didn't seem to help him clam down as his eyes and thoughts would end up going back to Evangeline, plus it didn't help much when she seemed to notice him getting nervous. He did his best to avoid looking embarrassed that she had noticed his nervousness and simply nodded his head slightly in response to her question before saying "Yea I'm fine." in a surprisingly calm voice though there was a faint hunt of nervousness in his voice as he talked.

[Carlos]

"No. I'm good." Alexander managed to reply while at the same time he could feel his cheeks heating up a bit. It didn't help much either when he heard the humor in her voice and he was forced himself to look away in an attempt to clam himself down though that didn't help much either. Upon hearing her question he felt a small feeling of panic at the thought of her leaving the room and unknowingly his arms tightened around her a bit enough to keep her next to him though not enough where he would end up hurting her. "It's okay. I'd prefer if you were in here anyways."

(It's okay)

[Carlos]

Alexander quickly loosened his arms at her breathing back to how they were before and he mumbled "Sorry about that." He blinked once at the feeling of her cupping his cheeks and though he didn't say it out loud he was taken a bit back the sound of her voice though he managed not to look away as he hesitated. At first his pride wouldn't let him but eventually he admitted "It's just that for some reason I'm a bit nervous about being in the same room and bed with you." Surprisingly he was able to keep a straight face as he talked back at her last remark he couldn't help but end up chuckling softly before saying "Not yet at least." and giving her an faint smile

[Carlos]

Upon seeing Evangeline's reactions to what he had said Alexander felt a bit surprised as he wondered how a person could go through that many reactions in a couple of seconds. At seeing her roll her eyes he felt some amusement and hearing her reply he pretended to be insulted as he said "Hey now, I don't don't think that I'm that bad." 5thpugh this didn't last long as he ended I chuckling softly. An small smile appeared across his face at Evangeline's last comment and said "You might but you can't say anything for me." He leaned forward a bit so that he was an inch away from her and he moved to her neck as his lips gently brushed against her neck before lightly tracing the tip of a fang along her skin though not hard enough to pierce her skin or cause her pain. In truth he wasn't real trying to make a move on her as he was just playing and teasing with her though mostly to see her reaction.

[Carlos]

As Alexander ran his fang along Evangelines neck he noted that there was a strange scent to her. He couldn't exactly describe it but it was sweet in a way that a candy shop might smell like when someine first walks into it. The thought amused him to an extent though he figured to keep it to himself for the time being. Continuing with what he was doing he could feel her body stiffen a bit underneath his touch and her hands tighten around the back of his neck which he took as a sign to stop though before he could he was pushed back and a second later he felt Evangeline press her lips against him. The sudden action caught him by surprise though after a couple of seconds he returned the kiss trying his best to be gentle with what he was doing.

[Carlos]

(It's okay)

[Carlos]

Alexander began enjoying the moment or at least until he felt Evangeline pull back from the kiss. He opened his eyes and looked to find her looking back at him with narrowed eyes and he began feeling a bit worried as if he had done something wrong until he heard her comment. He remained silent for a couple of minutes as he thought on the best way to answer her while his hands moved themselves to around her hips before he said "I guess I'm still a bit cautious about doing something like this since I don't want to make you feel like I'm forcing you to do something like this." then after a few seconds of thinking about it he added "Plus I've never actually.... been with another person before so I'm a bit nervous." On his last comment he couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed about what he said though surprisingly he managed not to look away though a small smile of embarrassment appeared across his lips.

[Carlos]

Alexander felt some relief spark inside of him at hearing Evangeline say that she didn't feel like he was forcing her to do anything though her last comment made him feel a bit more embarrassed then he already was feeling. Before he could say anything she continued talking and he fell silent as he listened to her. For the next couple of seconds he didn't say anything as he chose to remain silent, pondering her words about her last comment though after a couple of seconds he moved so that he was leaning above her a bit with his hand propping him up. He looked down at her as gave her an small smile then said "You don't need to apologize for anything. I'm not angry at you or anything like that although-" and he paused as he leaned down a bit to her neck, gently running his lips along the bare skin of her collarbone that was showing up the side of her neck before coming to an stop next to her ear as he murmured "Just promise me that you'll be mine." On his last comment his voice became a bit seductive and husky although there was a hint of gentleness among his words.
