Damien Carter: slams article on table HAVE YOU SEEN THIS? DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING?
I haven't heard of anything, but that doesn't mean I don't know anything
narrows his eyes You better start talking, WhimsicalBeaches. This is serious. How could you even think of betraying me?
paces back and forth Betrayal! Cheating! It's when you go against your partner and do something behind their back! Like this... points to the article
grabs WhimsicalBeaches by the collar, pushing them against the wall It sure as hell is! You're supposed to be loyal to me, but apparently you're too weak to even stay faithful.
I've been loyal to you for years now
throws a vase against the wall, shattering it Years?! And yet I find out that you've been cheating on me behind my back?! How could you call that loyalty?
releases his grip on WhimsicalBeaches, taking a step back Damn it, WhimsicalBeaches! You're always so damn infuriating! I can't believe I trusted you!
pauses, his anger slowly simmering down Dammit, WhimsicalBeaches... I need answers. Who is she? How long have you been cheating on me?
laughs again I don't know who she is
runs a hand through his hair in frustration That doesn't make any sense, WhimsicalBeaches! You can't just randomly sleep with random women! Do you have any idea how much this hurts me?
you're not a woman so why would I be loyal to you?
slaps WhimsicalBeaches across the face You dare question my pain?! After everything I've given you, you think you deserve more?!
Damien Carter demands some time apart from WhimsicalBeaches to think about his next steps
storms off towards the bedroom, slamming the door behind him I need some damn space, WhimsicalBeaches!
sits on the edge of the bed, deep in thought How could I have been so blind? Was I so caught up in our life together that I didn't see the signs?
stands up and paces back and forth Signs... Yes, there were signs. But I was too damn stubborn to see them!
stops pacing and clenches his fists There were little things, subtle signs that maybe something wasn't right. Like when you used to avoid intimacy, or when you got all defensive whenever I brought up your actions.
well you brought up that topic of conversation to me
throws a glass against the wall, shattering it Damn it, WhimsicalBeaches! I should have seen right through you! I should have known something was wrong!
why are you blaming yourself? I'm the one that cheated on you, you're not to blame
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down No, WhimsicalBeaches, you're wrong. This isn't about blame.
sits back down on the edge of the bed, burying his face in his hands This is about understanding what went wrong.
no because then if it did happen we could work something out
stands up abruptly, his eyes filled with determination Work something out? WhimsicalBeaches, you don't understand. This goes beyond just us.
paces back and forth, his voice filled with urgency Look, WhimsicalBeaches, I need you to understand the stakes here. If I give you a chance to explain yourself, to try and mend things, I'm risking the entire pack.
throws his hands up in frustration Because, WhimsicalBeaches, loyalty is everything in our world! When you break that loyalty, you put the entire pack at risk!
but you said you don't know if I'm your mate
runs a hand through his hair, his voice softening Yes, WhimsicalBeaches, I did say that. And maybe, just maybe, there's a part of me that still holds onto the hope that we can fix this. But I can't ignore the reality of the situation. Loyalty is paramount, and you broke that loyalty.
paces in front of WhimsicalBeaches, speaking with urgency Look, I'm not trying to be harsh, but the truth is, WhimsicalBeaches, you have consequences to pay for what you've done.
what kind of consquences?
stops pacing and looks directly into WhimsicalBeaches' eyes The kind of consequences that affect not just our relationship, but the entire pack.
grabs WhimsicalBeaches by the shoulders, his voice stern You need to understand the gravity of your actions, WhimsicalBeaches.
