He growled at those in the house and took her straight to his room. Piper and Lukas went straight to their room and then into Alex and Claudia's room after Piper threw clothes on. Alex put her on top of the bed and covered her up with a blanket so she wouldn't be exposed to eyes when she reverted to human. Lukas stood at the foot of the bed out of the way, still a wolf because of the full moon while Piper brought a clean wet towel to help locate and sop up blood. Alex looked at Piper and said, [color=007236]"I want you to feed her. You are part wolf so it might be easier on her somehow. I'll work on the other injuries."[/color] Piper was not sure she agreed with him but she fed Claudia. Alex slit his wrist again and soaked her other injuries and they seemed to heal a little faster than they were before. Alex looked completely broken. There were tears in his eyes and he spoke to Piper. [color=007236]"I need your opinion. You live in both worlds. Am I putting her in danger by keeping her with me? If she weren't with me she wouldn't have been on the property and she wouldn't have been injured." [/color] Piper kept silent for a moment as she cleaned the blood out of Claudia's fur as it healed.[color=fff200] "Alex, you know I'll always love you. What we had was wonderful and I'll always cherish that."[/color] She stopped cleaning the fur and looked at him. [color=fff200]"You can't worry about everything that might or might not happen. You have to live your life and live it in a way that makes you happy. The two of you together, have the kind of love most people only dream of. If you let her go your life will be full of regret for the rest of your life and she would be so miserable. She imprinted on you. She can't stay away, no matter what you do or say she can't be far from you for long it will make her hurt, she craves being with you and the love in the eyes and actions of the two of you when you are together is breathtaking to see."[/color] She stood up and hugged him When she let go she smacked him upside the head lightly with a smile on her face. [color=fff200]"Don't you dare leave her. It would be the biggest mistake you ever made." [/color]Piper kissed his cheek and he kept staring at his mate. Lukas trotted out of the room after Piper. Lucinda was standing in the doorway watching the entire scene. When they had come in she had run into her room and changed into casual clothes so she could go with them if need be. She stepped just inside the doorway. [color=ed1c24]"Piper's right you know. You two are perfect for each other. We'll all be there for her. She is family. She is not alone and you don't have to worry about that."[/color] He looked at his maker and and nodded. [color=007236]"Thank you Lucinda."[/color] Alex covered Claudia back up and he climbed into bed behind her and put his arm around her carefully. He kept talking to her whispering into her ear how much he loved her and telling her to come back to him. Lucinda quietly closed the door. [@kyrisse]
