Richard watched as Damon, Alexia and Ryan ran towards the roar that had ripped through the air. He wanted to go with them. He wanted to help them catch the beast. He wanted to go fight as he was a werewolf. He wanted to be there for his Alpha.
Unfortunately, he had to stay. In order to protect his Malia.
He could smell her in the room with him. He could hear her every intake of breath. Yet she refused to say a word. She remained completely silent.
Richard closed the door of their house and turned to Malia. She was staring at him but she didn't say a word. He stood still as he also stared at her. There was longing in his eyes. Just in a few hours that she pushed him away, he felt empty and alone. Both the wolf within him and his entire being longed for her.
