"Nick, what happened to you?" Darius straightened his posture and stared Nicholai straight in the eyes. He then stepped closer and rubbed his head all over Nicholai's head. He was even giving it force as if it was his way to shake the other wolf. "You stopped doing this. I thought we already fixed this attitude of yours! What happened? What did they tell you?!"
"…Darius, listen to me—"
"No, you listen to me!" Darius barked at Nicholai's face. "Answer my questions, Nicholai Rudolf. Did you run here on your own to think about things?! Did you think that if you run fast enough, I will stop chasing you? Tell me what's going on again. Did Solar tell you anything I shouldn't know?!"
The lesser Alpha stepped back as if unwilling to make Nicholai cornered, even if it was for the best. "I knew it. I shouldn't have gone with Sarah that time. What did she say? Why does it have anything to do with what you can give me?"
