Joseph’s p.o.v. I can feel Griffin calm down with Jocelyn’s hand in his fur, he was ready to kill that fucking Alpha for planning to hand Jocelyn over to Alpha Grant. We don’t like to hear stories about forceful markings, but for some reason it pisses us off even more when it involves Jocelyn. She has become important to us in a very short time and I hope that it might turn into something more. Jocelyn is getting agitated the more she listens to her Mom and even though she took the phone of speaker, I can still hear what is being said. Not only did he leaves his Pack unprotected, he also misunderstood Alpha Grant’s so-called demand. It makes me wonder what kind of an Alpha he was or maybe the better question would be, what bloodline was he born from. An Alpha will never leave his Pack unprotected, he would rather die fighting to keep his Pack-members safe and he only runs if he knows that his Pack-members are running with him. Griffin stays by Jocelyn’s side, he wants to support her and he hopes that he can keep her calm, just like she did for us. We just enjoy being close to Jocelyn and listen to the conversation she has with Indigo, we see Joey’s reaction to Indigo’s remark. We feel Jenna climbing onto our back and we feel the love Jenna shows us when she hugs Griffin. We will protect Jenna with our last breath if we have to and the same goes for Jocelyn, Indigo and Faye, Griffin even feels protective of the new-born boy. I can understand why he is protective of the Pups, he has always been protective of Pups and I doubt that will ever change. Jocelyn and Indigo are a different story, they are not related to us and they have not been a part of our Pack for too long. Being part of the same Pack forms a bond between members, for some that bond is stronger than for others and according to Mom it is why some can mistreat others. There is a bond forming between me and Jocelyn, but it feels so much stronger than any bond I have with other Pack-members. The bond that is forming between me and Indigo also feels very different and it leaves me with a lot of questions. “Breakfast is almost ready.” I hear through the mind-link and I ask Jocelyn to grab Jenna, because I need to shift back to Human form and get dressed. I am lost in thought as I get dressed, I want to make sense of this strange feeling I have and I hope I can get some answers while getting some breakfast. Maybe I should ask Inti how he is feeling, because we both react strongly to a female.After a late breakfast, most of us take the time to get some rest and I lie down to stare up at the sky. “Does this make any sense to you, Buddy?” I ask Griffin, hoping he can make a little sense out of this. “It feels as if links are connecting between us, not sure how else to describe it. Mom told us that she felt an immediate connection to Dad, as if a chain had formed between them, pulling them together. It feels the same, but also very different. I believe the difference is in the buildup of that chain Mom mentioned.” Griffin replies. He is right though, I can feel a pull towards Jocelyn and I always seem to know where she is. I ask Inti through the mind-link if he feels the same way about Indigo and for a while we talk about this unfamiliar feeling and how it might affect our future. If Griffin and Ronion are correct about this connection forming, than we might be able to find a solid bond with a female. I am not sure if that bond will be as strong as what Mom and Dad have, but even if it is only half that strong I will take it. A solid bond is rare to find these days and we have heard stories of males and females that couldn’t stay faithful, who fooled around with others. It is similar to Humans dating and getting married, but there isn’t enough information to fully compare it to one another. Most of the information we know about relationships between Humans is from storytelling and some information might have gotten lost along the way. We were never that interested in how Humans chose a Mate, I believe they didn’t even call it a Mate. “Let’s just see where this leads, they might decide to go back and live with their Moms. Not sure if it would be wise for them to travel again, but we can’t stop them if they want to leave.” Inti responds. Griffin doesn’t like the idea of Jocelyn leaving us and he whimpers in the back of my head. He curls up in the back of my head and he even pulls up a block, not willing to listen to any of my thoughts anymore. “How’s Ronion holding up?” I ask Inti, only to find out that Ronion feels the same way as Griffin. Both our Wolves have retreated to the back of our minds, probably trying to come up with a plan to keep Jocelyn and Indigo from leaving. I close my eyes for a while, I need some time to process all of this and hopefully make sense of it, somehow. It feels like when I was a young Pup and I got information that made no sense to me or Griffin, letting it run through my mind was the only way to work through it. In my mind I see Erylis barrel into her Brother, the first time we laid eyes on her and we had been surprised by the color of her fur. The look in her eyes when she thanked us for saving her, the determined look in her eyes when she stopped a Warrior from suffering any longer. The way she looks out for Joey, the way she takes care of Jenna and Faye, the worried look in her eyes for Indigo. All the memories of Jocelyn from the moment we met are running through my mind and I know I wouldn’t like to have a life without her in it. It doesn’t matter at the moment if it is just friendship that we might have in the future or if our relationship might grow deeper. I just want to have her in my life and I will take it any way I can.
