Time to step up

[Akirapryde]

As he spoke she hated the idea that she couldn’t even tell if he was lying or telling the truth. It was one thing about their relationship that she hated more than anything else in the world. But over the past few weeks he earned her respect. Which is why she felts so bad about her recent actions. She did betray his trust and that unto its self, hurt. Still this was not only about her mistake. There was something else going on. She didn’t have to be a master Mind Mage to see it.

She set there and listened to him preach about how this was her fault and she knew it was. She didn’t even deny what she did was wrong. But what she was looking for still wasn’t found. She drew in a deep breath, “Richard, you keep wanting to draw the fire on my actions. Which I know was wrong” she said holding everything she could to keep her voice matched at his. It was so dang hard, but she needed something from him. “You got up on your high horse about this. Yes, Rebecca screwed up and now you don’t look like the big bad Alpha anymore.” There was venom once more dripping from her voice. However, this time the anger was missing from it.

“Clearly Richard you think that you are speaking the truth about how you made your selections….” She trailed off. ‘No’ she thought, ‘this won’t work’ A smile crossed her lips, “Let me ask you something. How did it feel when that big powerful werewolf called you an Alpha? His equal…” she said then leaned forward in her chair. “Then to have me show my ass like that” she added then paused for a second to make sure that this wasn’t misunderstood. “Don’t get me wrong Richard. What I did out there was wrong. Nothing of what I am saying now is meant to justify that nor make you assume I had some greater plan. No, I want to know these answers because you think I don’t trust you to be leader. That you don’t feel I see you as an Alpha.” She leaned back, “So how did it feel?”
