“And you never used to be this nosy” I said smiling
“Im always novy.” He said, gesturing with his fingers that I should fuck myself.
Bryan was an Alpha too, but his pack and reach wasn’t as big as mine, but it but a problem, because we got along just fine
This has always been some sort of ritual for us, sprinting through the woods or specific days to keep in shape and not forget what it meant to be a werewolf in a very Eastly developing world.

I had missed it several times and I couldn’t disappoint him again
I followed from behind and eventually caught up with him. We trekked through the woods together, the sound of the forest fading away as we approached the road where our cars were parked. Bryan tumed to me but didn’t say anything, the look in his face was serious.
“What?” asked after a while, I was already getting disgusted at his ΠΑΠΙΠΕ
