Cover Your Tracks *Alex*

Seagull's passed overhead and called over the rush of waves - crashed against the sandy pebbled shoreside. Not a soul lay left in sight, nor any other movement besides the darkness of a single wereling padding hopelessly confused - aimlessly walking with his head shifting side to side in chick of his surroundings - millions of things rushing at once throughout his mind. He was of only but a strong Guardian, caught by his throat in the most thickest of situations he had ever face, such feelings of what he could not even describe coursed his own will. Within his years applied the soft ashen hairs around his muzzle, slowly to phase back into pitch black hairs and tinges of crimson ginger to line the sides of his toned muscles. Naturally, he stood much taller than the faes of their kind, but the way he walked make him slightly smaller than the normal as it was due to his lack of excitement that evening. He asked himself - why? Why did would he do such a thing? - in yet no answer would respond other than the slight chuckles of his counterpart's voice at the back of his head.

Resisting such a thing was near to impossible, and with age, the brute had grown immune to his sarcastic and precise manner. The only thing that kept him from loosing it was her; only her. His chest felt as if had been weighed down by tons of pressure, heaving out choking sighs to what made him hard of breathing. His actions were what he knew were reckless, inconsiderate even, but what could he really do? She didn't like him, he thought, and now he blew every chance he had of ever having a friend. Many woman had come into his life, ones he would flirt with, and end up with them treating him as if he were a piece of trash made for a homeless man's cardboard house. But that was all different now. He had changed his ways of alcohol, and so he still more than anything craved it, however that too would be a lie, for he desperately wished to kiss her again. Hikami. The sound and thought of her name even made him shy his face away from the sun that made the color of his eyes give off a bluish green tint rather than its normal blue. It was almost as if he could hear her in his head.

But wait.. it was her..

His body whipped around - caught dead center as the weight of a white spirit flattened him on his back, weakened by her sweet scent that filled his wet nostrils, "Hikami?" Alexander finally spoke, filled with the mix of saltwater and gracefully tracing the outline of her figure as it shifted to her angel body, watching how beautiful she made it appear to change from a beast to a beauty such as herself. His form stayed the same though, peering down at her while he finally reached to his feet to stand. Slowly, his head bowed in apology and his ears turned backwards as he looked to her, I like you... Hikami. A lot. But I didn't want to be one of those guys that you thought was just like any other.. All my life I've been claimed as a heap of junk, because every girl I've ever met judges for a man's looks and not the person they really are... He closed his eyes and sighed slowly before lifting his head to continue, I fear not that you too would reject me as of now, but before you do, I must tell you this.. I.. Alexander Jason Reese Jr. have had the biggest crush on you since the day we met.. Never before has a girl treated me like you had other than Red, I.. I mean Alphess Teimhnin. But that's different, I don't feel that way about her as I do for you.. I really.. really like you, Hikami.. His words slowly got quieter as he spoke and it started to mumble into a fit of fighting sentences. He was hopeless, a pathetic waste of time, which made him wonder why she was even here. She shouldn't have come, he thought. Now what would he do..

He went quiet and looked at her with heart filled eyes, pained by the idea of her rejection, but easily shaken off of the emotion as he knew it would not be professional for him to feel such things before a warrior.

His hands caressed similarly like he had before he escaped the athletic building, kissing her passionately, a warm glow to arise his spirits and his insides to revive within. Like she had simply asked, he kept his eyes closed softly, drenched with no emotion as he kissed her firmly once more before she pulled away to reveal her truth filled words. Alexander didn't want to hear them though, as it had been already told without the actual sentences, taking her back onto his lips with a bit of strength behind it to hold her close. The reason behind his doing is that he had so much to say, but never the urge to find them in the right words - it was indescribable - something so rare to his life of which he could not comprehend, or even want to find out so soon on. There was no need for words, he believe, this was all he needed was her in his arms, their kisses alined, their confessions to be spilled. He knew there was still much to do before the ending of this chapter, and if she liked him for him, then that was what all that mattered most. Smiling as he pulled away with all his strength, he tilted her face up to meet his own, cooeing a soft growl as his teeth made a bright white charming grin to represent his happiness. He could not continue though, he had to tell her. With a small sigh, he stepped back and let her back to the sandy floor, turning his smile to a mere frown in concern, "Hikami.. if you must know before we start rushing into things, I must tell you why this had been my decision and why I need to set things straight." His raspe low voice was of but only a stern tone, making it loud enough for her to hear and take in slowly with each given detail.

"From a young age, as would most, I shifted for my first time, along with my twin brother when we still resides in England. We knew of nothing but the shifting or any of it at all, we taught ourselves alone as our father was too much of a coward to even bring the news to our knowledge. My mother was a mere human, a mortal if you will, and she knew as much as my brother and I knew at the time, but she has now passed I would believe. I have not seen her in over seventy years, nor the rest of my family." Alexander's gaze flew over towards the water as he spoke, slowly emerging its color to a green as the light captured it whole, "I was not rich, or even of worth to anything along the lines of the street life. My brother and I headed out on our owns as I refused to return home. We of course survived off the land in most of our other forms, hiding in and out of the shadows to whatever it would provide, and I found my talent of preforming by working for the money at corners of small towns across the British country. When we parted, he had found love with a lovely woman... whereas I secluded myself from the world to depend on the love of alcohol.." His hands made tight fists, clenching and then releasing in order to loose the anger in himself for his weakness then, partially proud of how much he had gained since then, but still angry as he knew it was pathetic. Slowly, he looked away from her and started skipping rocks over the water, flicking his wrist to click them over the surface, "I've dealt with so many rejections. Women only wanting the handsome prince they dream so much about, simple humans finding me a piece of trash that works on the streets for a living, or a performance nobody singing in a bar to make the next hit for a drink to let go of the world. Alcohol was my friend in those dark times, it was all that I ever had left to keep me happy, whenever it affected my insides. All I ever wanted was to feel accepted in the world for who I was and how I acted, or even the gifts I was given as a wereling too. Only then when I joined Braveheart that my ways changed after meeting Teimhnin. I wasn't alone anymore, and I started to learn things, putting pieces together as the loneliness died inside of me." He looked to the water, head slowly extended downwards with a small smile,

"I was found... and saved."

Turning to face her, he kept his smile alive, continuing onwards, "Alpha Gabriel, everyone brought me in, and sooner or later, I took my work as a Warrior then seriously. I started training myself, and Teimhnin helped me keep away from drinking when doing so. Just around the time I was promoted to the Elite male, I began to fill out to my normal self before it all happened. I'm stronger, wiser now even, and I know now more than I ever did before that in order to achieve such things, its better to have someone to support you along the way. And then I met you.." He said this quietly, making himself move closer to completely meet her stance, warmly taking her into his arms as his hands met around her waist, "The most beautiful person I had ever met in this lifetime yet. I've met so many woman, love, but none like you to ever compel even an Elite to feel dizzy inside. Your dominance captivated me, and that's what made me lean towards you in the interests of training together. You needed some fixing up yourself, but with time, you became strong too. And with that, I'm proud of you, love, and I'm here to stay, because, Hikami... I like you.. and I would be more than happy to find out more on these feelings, as long as we're together... " Alexander knelt over to kiss her one last time before lacing his fingers between her own, slowly pulling away while holding himself together, "May I walk you home at least? It's not far after all, its the least I could do..."
