A Black Decision - A Missing Moment Serial

A Black Decision

~Part XV~

"Look, I don't expect Beau to try anything," I said to Lee when he finally arrived. "But he might. He's not..." I looked for the right word before finally giving up and shrugging. "Stable at the moment. I don't want him to do something he'll regret later so if it looks like he might then stop him, no matter what it takes to do it." Internally I shuddered at what I was telling Lee, but Beau could heal - not that that made it any better. 

"But why?" Lee asked in confusion, crossing his arms over his shirtless chest. He could get away with it because he was a guy - and it wasn't the first time since he joined the pack that I wished society thought of topless women in the same way they did men. 

"You'll see when you go in the cabin. I have a couple of things I have to take care of and then I'll be back to relieve you," I stated, completely avoiding answering his question. 

His brown knitted together for a minute before he finally muttered, "Okay." 

"I'll be back."

I turned and walked away from him, heading towards La Push so I could go to Elliott's. I knew it was where Sam was supposed to be. 

I made it my business to know here schedule so we could avoid each other as much as possible. The truth was, it was as much a part of why I'd started rooming in the little cabin as the need to be away from my overbearing mom was. Two alpha's couldn't reside comfortably in the same space - especially a space as small as La Push - so I'd tried to put some much needed distance between us... not that it did much good when I constantly had to involve her. 

There was no avoiding it though. Especially not at this current time.
