Fox J. F. Timaeus Ackerman
Werewolf ~ Alpha St.-Louis
There was a moment of silence when Fox thought about what she'd just told him. He dropped her hands and leaned back, keeping his gaze on her. He ruffled throughhis messy hair and sighed, which caused her to flinch. It was almost unnoticeable and he wasn't even completely sure he'd really seen it, but it still annoyed him. The story had pissed him off, not only because her dad was a huge asshole, but also because she made herself suffer for nothing.
It did, however, clear a few things up. He finally understand a part of her, h'd never been able to before. And he admired her, for still being such a strong woman, eventhough she had some issues. And he was glad he ripped that rotten Alpha's throat out, many years ago. On the other hand, it did hurt a little she didn't trust him enough before to tell him all of this. He could've ended Graham's terror a long time ago.
"I'm sorry about your family," he started without moving. He stayed at a distance, because she needed to understand he wasn't just telling her this so she would feel better. No, she had to know he believed every word he was going to say.
"but Graham is the only one guilty here. If I had known this, he wouldn't have left this building alive, I can tell you that." He sighed again. "Anyways, I have to admit I agree at some point. You could have changed. You could have been a bruthless murderer. You could have torn up your very own brother in the process. You could have put not only yourself and your family in danger, but also the entire pack, by killing those fools."
"But," Fox shut her up even before she could speak her mind.
"No, I'm not finished yet. I know, you could have done something. Yeah, maybe you both ended up dead then, or maybe your brother would have survived, but you wouldn't. The thing is; you don't know. It happened and there is nothing you can do about it. It hurts and it's awful, but you can't keep torturing yourself with every mistake you make. God, I would have killed myself a long time ago if I'd do that." He paused and finally came closer again. He pulled her out of her chair and on to his lap, to comfort her.
"And if you really want to blame someone, blame those muggers or even your foolish father. He's the one that sent his own kids to their doom. What parent let his offspring walk around in the middle of the night while it's snowing outside?" He sighed again while he felt the anger boiling inside of him. Eventhough he never really bonded with his own dad, he still raised Fox in a decent way. And even after the entire changing process, the treated each other with respect. Fox had never laid a finger on his father, and except for that one time, it was a mutal thing.
"I need to get Hannibal and check the woods today, but if you need me here, just tell me," he mumbled while he hugged her.
