You... safe? Me... here now.
you don’t look very safe love
steps closer, towering over DragonflyWhirlwind Safe... not my middle name. But I protect. Always. Trust me.
why are you protecting me?
grabs DragonflyWhirlwind's arm firmly You're mine. I claim you. No one touches what's mine. I'll tear them apart with my bare hands.
nods, his eyes flashing with intensity Yeah, you're my mate. And I won't let anyone or anything come between us.
looks around at the other wolves they all want me too…
growls, his voice low and threatening Back off! She's mine. I won't tolerate anyone else claiming her.
it’s hard to understand you
softens his gaze, speaking more gently I'm sorry, love. I didn't mean to scare you. I just... I want you to know that you're safe with me.
why did you kidnap me then?
takes a deep breath, trying to explain I didn't mean to kidnap you, love. I was just so scared of losing you. I thought bringing you here would keep you safe.
I’m safe out here in the open?
grabs DragonflyWhirlwind's hand and leads them towards the house No, love, you're not safe out here in the open.
but i thought we were going to run away together?
pauses, his eyes filled with regret Yes, love, we are going to run away together. But it's not safe out here. We need to find a place to hide, a place where no one can find us.
shakes his head No, my home is not safe. It's too well-known, too predictable. We need somewhere remote, somewhere no one knows us.
do you have somewhere in mind?
grabs his phone and starts searching I'm looking for a secluded cabin in the mountains. Somewhere far away from prying eyes.
finds a listing for a secluded cabin Found it, love. There's a cabin available in the Appalachian Mountains.
blushes shyly That sounds perfect, Darius. Let's go there.
quickly packs their belongings We'll leave tonight, love. I'll make sure everything is ready before dawn.
rushes to gather supplies and provisions We need food, water, and weapons. We can't afford to be caught off guard.
how much stuff do you have?
throws supplies into a backpack I have enough gear to last us a week or two, maybe more.
checks the surroundings, making sure they're safe We need to be cautious, love. We can't risk being seen. Stay close to me.
