Ravensblood Forest Just Give Me A Reason, Just A Little Bits Enough

Chusi barely looked at him, didn't give him an answer - her clipped words struck him in the heart, and he didn't once think she was torn between them. Zephyr had accepted that the girl moved on, and even if it were soul wrenching, he didn't debate it. 

Arturo allowed Chusi the choice of if the ebony man got a choice, and Zephyr waited, holding his breath - these words hurt even more than the last, and he took a step back as if he was wounded. He didn't wait to talk to Arturo, shaking his head and backing away another foot. Even as he rejected the pack, his voice cracked, and his apple eyes took in every last hair of Chusi's pelt, remembering.

                      "No. No, I'll leave you here - I think it's better for everyone."

Nothin left. Even Chusi knew it - and his heart hurt to hear the way the coywolf spoke to her. They were bonded, happy - for him to come between this just wasnt right. The Gorgon girl didn't even look happy to see him, what was to say she really wanted him here? It would be awkward - if only for the Maverick - and it wasn't something his fragile self could accept. He would find another pack, another reason, for the only reason he'd went on, stayed around the Teekons was already happy.

                                               "I'll visit you again when you're grown, maybe - but I don't think I should try to become a part of this family. I don't want to make things hard on you."
