"Most of the scars I have are from my packmates" said Damian, "The Nightshade Pack has a thing against Halfwolves, and anyone who isn't a Fullblood Nightshade. It's actually pretty ironic since my dad, his beta, and me, are all Halfblood. It also doesn't help that I've always been smaller than the other's my age."
"Oh god I'm gonna die" she said.
"No you're not!" said Damian, "I only put up with it cause I have to. Wolf code says I can't hurt the younger ones, even in self defence." He reached up to stroke her cheek, "Not all of them are like that anyway, and if I can't keep you safe in the pack then I'll set you up in Silver Valley with the rest of my family."
she smiled lightly placing her hand on top of his.
"Heck if I really had to I'd run away with you to somewhere in the wilds where no one could touch us!"
"You are the sweetest most thoughtful guy i've ever met."
"And you're the most beautiful girl I know"
Briar blushed hiding her face in his chest.
Damian brushed his fingers through her hair, lovingly stroking her back.
she smiled closing her eyes.
Damian lay back, enjoying the peaceful moment.
"I ;ove you Damian" she said.
"Love you too Briar" he said softly,
she looked up at him a grin.
Damian smiled back, ruffling her hair a bit.
she kissed his cheek before starting to get up.
Damian pulled his feet out from under her so he could stand, watching warily out into the dim and misty forest.
Briar sttod waiting for him to get up.
Getting to his feet he nodded to her, "Assuming that Alec has given up by now, what do you think about heading to Nightshade territory?" he asked.
she layed her head onhis shoulder and nodded.
Damian wrapped an arm around her shoulder, leading her out of the cavern and into the thick trees.
Briar winced slightly he had touched right where she had been scrathed yesterday.
Damian felt her wince, and moved his hand to her waist, a look of concern on his face.
she looked at him "it's nothing" she said.
"You sure?"
