Vera groaned, shoving the keys into her bag and rushing to stand in Jaii’s way. “Stop. What the hell are you talking about, you causing pain? Jaii, look behind you.” She turned him around, making him look at the girls coming out of the car. When Kiara gave him the cloak she thanked her, her tense shoulders relaxing. “Thanks…I ah, didn’t catch your name. You either,” she said, a bit embarrassed as she looked at Kennedy. “I’m Vera. You two are…?”

If they two introduced themselves she would smile and nod before turning her attention back to Jaii. He needed her right now, and he [i]needed[/i] to be healed. “Look at all these people that followed you, that are looking at you to be a leader.” She sighed, putting a hand on his shoulder so he would look at her again. “I don’t know what’s happening here, and I don’t know what everyone wants, but one thing I know- you’re not a lone wolf. Jaii, you have what it takes to be an alpha. This…this could be the start of your own pack.” Vera shook her head with a shrug of her shoulders, her hand sliding down to take his hand. “But we can’t even talk about it until you heal these wounds. So stop sulking, get inside and lay down! You- you don’t get to be alone, they need you!” Seeing him like this was killing her, and though she would never admit it Vera was close to begging.
