Devin had tried hard not to show emotion when he looked at Violet, though there was a tiny flicker, and Avina must have caught it. Because her tone softened and turn comforting for a moment, Devin simply nodded to her apology looking away from her again. She knew that he hated to attack women, so had his Elder, which was why she had made him turn the changeling. He didn’t notice Violet crying across from him, he was too focused on Avina and the pack behind her to care about the woman across from him. 

Devin looked past her at the female behind her, though the male stopped her and so he brought his attention back to Avina. Violet noticed the girl moving as well, turning her head to look at her frowning sad light brown eyes looking the two werewolves over with a worried look, before turning her head back to look at her Elder. Violet didn’t even know how to fight, she had never even learned as a human, her family had refused to let her learn to defend herself.

He stopped her before she got back to her pack, ignoring the male taking a step forward. Other than if they were actually fighting, Devin would never hurt Avina, when they were fighting though she had hurt him as well and so they were even. She closed her eyes leaning into his touch, and he smiled softly at her. Her skin was so warm, the heat from face spread from his hand down his arm, slowly heating up his body slightly. Though he heard the anger and frustration in her voice, he didn’t move away from her, because he wasn’t able to pull himself away. Not until he informed her that they would have to fight.

He still liked having his own bubble, he was used to it being that way, it was comfortable to him. When Avina grabbed the front of his shirt and closed the gap between them, he couldn’t help the gut reaction of tensing up. Her words though made the cocky smirk he had fought earlier spread across face, and when she brought up how their fight ended last night, his smirk spread into a wide grin looking back at her. Avina was leaning up to kiss him again, when Violet spoke behind him, and he addressed her, before shaking his head at Avina. [b]“Even if I want to leave her side, I already have touched you and you have touched my clothes. I smell like you.”[/b] He answered, though in truth it wouldn’t matter to him, he was planning on leaving already.

Watching the reaction of the male to his request, he frowned from behind Avina, as the answer was even clear. The mutt started to call him a dirty blood sucker, and Avina took offense, he didn’t take offense to the words though, Violet seemed to as she hissed at Brice. However Devin didn’t he was used to being called such things. Blood sucker was actually one of the nicer things he had been called. The look of pure hatred made him tilt his head, before smirking at him, eyes darkening slightly. He didn’t care if the man hated him, one less person to have to be niceish to. As Avina looked back at him, his eyes lightened, and Violet pushed off the wall following.

Staying so close when they were expected to run further was a logical move in his mind, in a few days they slowly they could move during the night to next town and so on until they were out of state. Then they would go somewhere out of the states, it had been his plan all along, Logan had homes all over the state and out of state, that Devin found ways to pay for. Logan wasn’t the must happy to see Devin of course; it had been years since the last time they talked. He moved aside inviting them in and Devin was the first one in the house, quickly moving around the house looking around, opening doors to make sure it was safe.

[b]“Oh yes please look around Devin, not like I’m the one that lives here.”[/b] Logan said sarcastically greenish-grey eyes following the sound of doors opening and closing, before looking at Avina as she touched his arm. He like Devin thought that she was beautiful, and when she touched his arm, he thought it was flirting because that was a way of flirting among humans. Giving her a smirk, that might seem familiar to her Logan nodded. [b]“No problem lass, make yourself at home.”[/b] He answered checking her out in just the shirt she was wearing before turning and locking the door. The twelve locks on the door were sliver, and so Devin would have to fix it later. 

The living room was very large with pictures of family members, on the walls and plenty of places to sit. Once him turned around Devin was back in the room leaning in door frame to the basement, he was actually relaxed for the much part. After all even if he didn’t live here it was his house, Logan frowned rolling his eyes as he matched Devin’s, leaning against the front door. Though it was mostly to stay away from the group, his eyes looking into all four of the people he didn’t know to make sure he didn’t have to worry about being drained, before glaring at Devin. [b]“So, are you going to tell me what is going on?”[/b]

Devin looked away from him, his body tensing up slightly. [b]“It really is better to keep you in the dark for most part, all you have to worry about is watching during the day. Where is your sister?”[/b] Devin asked before his eyes looked at Avina for a moment, he would rather keep from answer his question. It was to keep him safe, though it just made Logan narrow his eyes at Devin. 

[b]“She left the states and went home. What is going now?”[/b] He asked again, and when Devin opened his mouth to say something about keeping him safe, as he always had seemed to with Logan’s family, he pushed away from the door. [b]“I could reseed my invite and throw you, and the other vampires out. So drop the protective grandfather sh*t!”[/b] He said loudly, smirking as those words made Devin tense up, eyes slowly turning black, but unlike Logan he had control over his anger. [b]“I am keeping my wolf safe. This is logical place to stop first, they wouldn’t expect us to stay so close.”[/b] Devin explained annoyed before holding out his hand, as Logan looked at the three women trying to figure out who he was talking about. [b]“Now! Give me the basement key Logan!”[/b] Devin demanded.
