Devin could hear her heartbeat faster though for once such a sound didn't make him hungry. Instead it made him open up more and forget for a moment that Kiel was around them as well. He saw the smile on her face as he brought up when he first felt their connection. A soft smile spread on his lips as Avina took a hold of his hand and placed it on her chest again. 

The beat of her heart even with it beating faster due to what he said, was smoothing chancing him to calm despite the feeling of anger and hurt he still felt slightly. Though was anger had never been towards Avina in the first place. It was at himself for being weak and not having the control not to have walk away, at the little weakling trying to steal Avina away from him, and at the fact they were here because he got hungry and drank from her. But not at Avina.

When she told him that her heartbeat was only for him, Devin smiled his other hand going to her face and wiping away tear that ran down her cheek. 

Devin sighed slightly looking away a bit, it was a sensitive subject, being dominated. Not just to him but to his race as well. [color=00a99d]"I know that you didn't know what you were going Avina. I'm not hurt or angry at you. I am angry at myself for letting it happen. It is a way to prove strength and dominance, but not a good one."[/color] He said before looking back at her before taking a step closer.

Devin thought a moment when she brought up him walking away last night. Honestly he had forgotten about chasing Rachel, it was not as important as the other things in his mind. [color=00a99d]"That wasn't as much about your pack..."[/color] He started before she cut him off as she leaned against him warming his body with her embrace his arms wrapping around her and stealing what of her warmth he could. [color=00a99d]"I know lass, I never might to hurt you by walking away."[/color] He said leaning down a bit to reach her lips before Jessie's screaming interrupted them.

Devin's eyes looked up in time to see the fact that not only was the sun raising but the white wolf that stood not far from the house watching them. Devin's body tensed eyes turning black as he watched the wolf. He heard Brice's voice but in truth it was faded and blurred over the calm that took over his mind. The only thing that caught his attention was Avian pushing him telling him to go. 

Violet stood inside holding the back door open to make sure Devin was still able to come in. She hissed a little at Kiel her eyes black and bloodshot as he ran to the door hearing what was said about Devin. [color=9400D3]"I guess you are hiding with us [i]monsters[/i] then? How funny mutt."[/color] She said moving out of the way so he could get inside.  

Devin quickly got inside and Violet moved away from the door as Avina came inside. While Avina was looking out of the door Devin's hand took ahold of Violet's arm and she followed him out of the room. [color=9400D3]"What are we doing? Why are we taking in a new mutt?"[/color] She asked as she followed him through the house and down to the hidden cellar. 

[color=00a99d]"We are making sure that they can not get in through here. And that has yet to be talked about."[/color] Devin answered handing her a heavy iron sheet before taking another himself quickly the two bolted the sheets to the door some the wolves couldn't get in through. 

[color=9400D3]"You know we could have walked away from this, this wasn't your problem."[/Color] She said as they headed back upstairs getting a glare from Devin. 

[color=00a99d]"Where is Logan?"[/Color] He asked changing the subject before Violet caused him to hurt her.

[color=9400D3]"He said he was going to the safe room?"[/Color] She said in a confused tone. Devin nodded breathing a sign of relief, the safe room was created by Logan's grandfather to keep anything even other humans out until the person inside came out. 

As Violet started up the stairs to join the others Devin stopped in his tracks his eyes darkening as he stood in front of the door. The strong smell of garlic catching his attention. He had been the one to plant garlic at the edge of the woods, but clearly it didn't have the same effect of werewolves as his kind. Something Avina mustn't have thought to tell him. 

Panic finally started to hit him, he was supposed to be protecting Avina! Instead of doing that he might have lead the person she was running right them. He had failed, he had failed, the words repeated over and over again in his mind as Violet slowly walked back down the stairs. 

[color=9400D3]"Devin?"[/color] She said slowly her voice picking not only the panic from herself but from her elder. Taking a rough hurtful breathe Violet moved to the couch her breathes shallow and wheezy her head in her hands.
