Welcome to Gaia! ::

"He's like my own child," she admitted. "I hate to see him like this but he won't let anyone close enough to help him. I trust that you may be able to help him a little though. Please be patient. You may take it up to him now though."

Alex snorted finally and stood to walk over to the window. He could see a group of men on horses searching about a mile away and he snarled slightly, more people coming here. He became agitated though because he'd seen there weapons. He waited patiently though, staring at the door and attempting to will it to open.

He growled suddenly when she opened the door. He wanted the food and he'd wanted Juliette to deliver it. He was farily calm though, but his anger was just boiling underneath the surface. He jumped slightly to see what the food was and licked his chops. It looked and smelled delicious but didn't know what to think so far.

"Come on put the food down," he growled playfully. "I'm hungry." He'd ignored her strange expression since she didn't quite understand that he couldn't open doors in this form. It was the only reason he'd broken down the door to the servants quarters.

Alex had been acting playful and her serious look had fowled his mood. He sat still finally and just stared at her. Why was she so picky, he hadn't been bossy but rather had told her what he wanted out right. He looked down for a moment and then up at her. "Could you please put down my food before I jump and knock it out of your hands," he said in the politest tone he could muster.

He was hungry and the more stressed he got the more hungry he became. Every time he changed from human to wolf or wolf to human is hunger multiplied. He hadn't eaten since the previous day because he hadn't been hungry at all.

Alex had ignored her once she set the food down. He began to eat as though he hadn't eaten in days. He barely tasted the food but he was incredibly hungry from the two changes he'd made that day. He wished he could have eaten as a human rather than having to stoop to this level and pretty much eat off the floor. Her voice distracted him though and he looked up at her.

"Fine," he said before turning back to his food. The truth was he didn't really want her to leave him at the moment because he was beginning to feel lonely again. He nibbled at his food this time before turning away from it. He'd lost his appetite after her announcement.

Alex laid down after a moment, still watching her but staying silent. He would never admit that he wanted someone to stay with him because he saw that as a weakness on his part. As his eyes looked at the food he let out a long and slow sigh of agitation.

He wanted to be with someone as a human and have a regular conversation but he was always stuck like this. He was beginning to miss his mother and the songs she used to sing to him before he went to bed. It had been what made the nightmares go away, but now that she was gone there was no way to chase away those nightmares.

"Please stay," Alex said after a moment, bowing his head in shame after he'd done so. He was lonely but he would never really want to admit, maybe later but not now when he barely knew her. Alex wasn't sure whether he could trust her or not still and he wanted to talk to her about the approaching group of men anyways.

"I want you to see something," he said after a moment of silence. He started towards the window from where he'd seen the men coming. They were closer now, the dogs darting back and forth in front of them. Alex knew what to do if they got too close, call his wolf friends from the wild to surround his castle, protect it.

"Don't worry," Alex said lowly. "He won't get close enough to the castle to see it. I have my ways of guarding the area. I just hadn't seen you coming." With that he started to bark rather viciously, something that he hadn't intended to do in front of her or anyone.

It took a few minutes but when you looked below there was a rather large back of wolves that were moving out in front of the castle. They had barked at him in response before running out a ways. Alex just seemed to grin before looking up at her. He was feeling more calm than he had for a while now that he had something to protect, something to care about.

Alex was listening but he knew another change was coming. He'd walked a bit a ways away, still listening as he waited. He felt nothing but compassion for her at the moment, a sympathy only because he could relate to her. He changed after that, the clothing he was wearing was white to go with the fur he'd been wearing. The maids had developed a way to enchant the clothing so that it would go with his wolf form.

"Would you like your mother to be taken here?" he asked as he approached her from behind, his blond hair splashed over his face at the moment. "The maids know a lot about healing the sick and I think she would heal faster here."

He could not figure out what he was doing at the moment. Why should he take her mother in? It would just be another person to get in the way and another person to know his weakness. He stayed calm though despite his racing thoughts and the nervous feeling in his gut.
