Claudia frowned when Alex stood up. [color=palevioletred]"Just around..."[/color] she mumbled as she watched him sync her phone to his. It bothered her that he was going off to some sort of mission and leaving her behind. Yes, she was sure that he can take care of himself just fine but it didn't change the fact that she still worried for him. She watched him walk out of the door, hoping that he'd turn back and stay or at least ask her to come along. But when the door closed behind him, she sighed. So much for staying by his side all the time. She stood up, took a quick shower and then realized that she really had no clothes she can wear. All she really had was Alex's still damp shirt. Reminding herself to get some the next morning, she decided to just do away with the clothes and just go with her wolf form.

Wrapped in a towel, she walked out of the room and scribbled a hasty note for Caius. She knew where she was going even before she has stepped out of the door. She headed towards the fire exit, removed the towel around her and draped it onto the stair's railings.  A few minutes later, a large black wolf with golden eyes bursted out of the fire exit.

Claudia immediately picked up the trail. There was no mistaking Alex's scent. He was hers, after all. She didn't waste time launching herself into a full run after him. But she had only gotten as far as the freeway when she felt them following her. She estimated that there were 8 of them and none of them smelled familiar. She couldn't hear Caius' among them too. She slowed down and faced them. Instantly, the air around her was filled with vicious snarls. Teeth were bared at her as nine humanoid type werewolves surrounded her.

It has been a long while since Darric has been with a woman. And he couldn't deny that Casey was exquisite and her raging lust for him was irresistible. But he felt a pang of guilt when she asked what was going on. He felt like he had taken advantage of her. He took a deep breath. [color=lightgreen]"I think there's a possibility that you have imprinted on me,"[/color] he said in his quiet voice. [color=lightgreen]"And I don't think I'm the best man to imprint on."[/color]
