The Sentinels Hahahahaha come on now guys lets be civil

*IS VAGUE*

night came and the boy barely noticed. after speaking with Behati, if their conversation could be called that, Cas had left Donnelaith under the guise of hunting, when really he'd gone off to bitterly curse and bemoan his situation. the realization that he was beginning to truly fall for the new beta now made him sick, and the memory of Behati's gaze upon him caused his stomach to knot. how could he have been so utterly stupid? first to think that either the dessert-girl or Aria would tolerate his attempts to date both of them -- and now that he had ever believed Aria only wanted him.

she had made it so easy to believe, though -- she had been the icon of a saint above his lonely little altar. his dad. Cas stopped from where he plodded heavily along the borders, grimacing. what about his mom!? his sisters!? did Lasher suddenly just not give a shit about them? and he was so old too. what the fuck did Aria even see in him?

the tones of the pale girl came hurtling out of the dimness and struck him like oranges in a sock, muted but the pain that blossomed in his very soul was all too real. for a moment, Cas considered putting a lot of distance between himself and Aria, and very suddenly, but the anger struck forth, and his teeth bared in a snarl.

she lied.

the boy turned and paced toward the pale figure among the trees ahead, fury cascading through his body. and when he had come within earshot, it was not joy that she would see upon his face, but a dark and hateful rage. "my dad, Aria!?" he shouted, uncaring if the entire pack heard him. "you want to fuck my dad!?"

tact, of course, was completely lost.
