I don't think the man ever thought to try to put himself in another's person shoes. I don't think he realizes that everyone has their own sort of troubles both big and small. Being in this new world was difficult. I didn't ask to be a Were and yet it happened. I can't fix that, but I can live with it. I never wallowed in self-pity and said 'woe is me' for being turned. I accepted it and dealt with it as best as I could. I joined Frost's pack and then left. I lived on my own, got a job, and did all the responsibility things that I should do as a normal young adult. Well, as normal as I could be. I mean a normal person would eat a delicious hamburger or a medium-rare steak. Can't eat that stuff anymore. Joining the Mounted Unit at least gave me something to do other than going to work and then going home. Being around the other Were-Horses helped fill this numbing hole I felt. My species of Were doesn't really thrive on being alone. I am sure things would have been different if Frost wasn't my creator. The others wouldn't have been so quick to ignore me. I doubt Frost or Alexander would allow another Dark Hunter to bring me harm if I did something wrong. My Uncle I am not so sure about. I mean it could go either way really. I could see him leading the charge as terrible as that might be. I give him a rough snort when he deems it acceptable that I am not doing anything in the unit, but I do breathe a sigh of relief when he admits he wouldn't let the other Hunters get to me.

I'm not quite sure how honest he was with his answer. I mean for all I know he could just be saying that to be nice. I mean he is in my home, I guess if I wanted to speak Were he is in my territory. It would not be nice if someone waltzed into your territory and claimed that in your darkest hour, when you are being hunted down, they will help them kill you. A bit relaxed I lean in a bit slightly in my own chair allowing the man to speak about how things were with him. I mean that is what I am supposed to do, right? Take an interest in what he is doing. I mean clearly it must be important to never come here to see me. I mean nothing really important has been going on with my life to not see him. I know this. What can I say? I'm stubborn. It was the mention that he had a girlfriend that caught me completely off guard. What sane woman would dare go on a date with my own Uncle? I mean my goodness that is crazy. Was the poor woman dared to go on a date with him? She must have lost a bet. I mean besides good looks my Uncle really doesn't have any other good quality to look for in a companion. At least I don't think so. I can't help, but laugh as he throws me this skeptical look. Oh come on Uncle! You know damn well what I mean! You have to be a complete and utter fool to not understand. With a roll of my eyes I shake my head and give him a nonchalant shrug. There was no need to carry on an argument with him. He would just deny everything I would say.

"Well, I'm happy someone has found a way to tolerate you and be willing to be around you for a year on her own free will, it was her own free will...right?"

Please Uncle, don't tell me you forced this from her. That would absolutely wrong in so many ways and so many levels. So, this Serafina was the name of the unbelievable woman that would be okay with being in a relationship with him. I must find her and at least say something, but what? How the hell did you do it? No, that would be rude. Maybe I should say 'Thank you...for your sacrifice?' Eh, I'll get it right one day when I meet her, and yes I will meet her. This woman wasn't a Dark Hunter well that is odd. I know Alexander is with a Were, but this is my Uncle we're talking about. He must be with a human, because I doubt very seriously he could be with a supernatural creature. I mean he couldn't tolerate me being a Were and I'm family. Blood is thicker than water, right? Telling him about my sponsors spending my parent's money seemed to set him off. Why would he be protective of that? With a dismissive wave I push aside his need to interfere with my business.

"There really wasn't anything you could do. They don't have my trust to leech off anymore so all is well."

Well, it's true! I mean I did not need his help, because there wasn't anything he could do. It's not like he could go to them and scare them. Having a financial advisor on my side was all that I needed. Telling him about what was going on with my life seemed to make him satisfied. I mean I didn't see a look of disappointment on his face. I didn't hear him giving me a lecture too, which was really nice you know, because I had no desire to hear about such a thing. His praise about me getting a promotion was a bit unnecessary. I mean anyone could have gotten that role too. The job was mundane and it was common sense. Make the coffee correctly and hand someone their food. Most importantly, try not to strangle a rude ass customer. Always wear a smile on my face and be polite. God it can be absolutely exhausting! The Inner Sanctum was a peaceful place to be though I have to admit. Everyone from all walks of life came into that little café and sought whatever sort of peace they wished to have. It was a sanctuary really and it isn't surprising to hear that the Council never heard about any problems about the workers at the café. As for Frost, well, that wasn't surprising at all. As my Uncle starts to poke and prod into my own personal life, I watch him carefully, trying to figure out what he is really searching for. Folding my arms, a bit defensive, I shake my head and speak calmly.

"Between having you as a Great Uncle and Frost as my creator there is a permanent 'off-limits' sign on me. The males around here are far to scarred to even try. I might get lucky having one or two guys show some sort of interest, but as soon as they hear about me, they stop. In the Unit the other horses don't talk that much to me either. You won't have to worry about me having a mate or belonging to a pack."

Don't worry Uncle, you won't have to worry about me getting knocked up or having to run a male off.
