Devon wanted so, so badly to argue the point. To have to really think about Theresa and Sheryl and Bo. About those of the pack she had met. They weren't a group. Every pack was connected even closer than a family. If she closed her eyes and concentrated she could feel the life of every member.
Then again, he hadn't wanted to overwhelm her so soon.
Devon exhaled heavily. "Alright, Lark." he replied, his voice a bit strained. "I'll... help.

Lark flinched when she heard the strain in his voice and it hurted her even worst because she was the cause of it she just knew she was and nothing could convince her otherwise. "I'm sorry. I just need you to know I love you and your the only man I could ever want, your my mate after all." Lark told him honestly, both of them shouldn't have to be miserable. She laid her head next to his before closing her eyes and attempting to sleep even though she knew she would not be able to sleep tonight with such raw emotions. She knew she was in for a long night and she hated that Devon had to suffer with her.

Dark was silent, staring at the ceiling. He could still feel how sad and confused she was. She blamed herself for everything, no matter what. He also new that she would have a hard time being calm enough to sleep.
So he did what he hadn't had to do in awhile.
Devon began to hum, using what control he could gather to put a sense of calm behind it. It was for Lark so it wasn't so hard. The tune rumbled in his chest as he tried to sing her to sleep

Lark had fresh tears running silently down her face, as she hugged herself closer to her wolf. She was so truly grateful to him for singing to her despite what she had put him through tonight he was still taking care of her by singing her to sleep knowing she couldn't get to sleep on her own, she truly didn't deserve a man like Devon. Sniffling one finally time she whispered, "Thank you." As she let herself get lost in the song and calm down enough for sleep.

Devon didn't sleep that night. There was too much to think about, too much to prepare for. He didn't plan on staying up all night, but the thoughts and plans wove themselves, unwound themselves and settled. He comforted Lark whenever she seemed to start to awaken and continued to stare at the ceiling.
Before he realized it, it was dawn. He sighed. He probably should have slept, but he would fare well enough. He'd done it before.

Lark was through out the night was peaceful as she could get, and that was because Devon had been comforting her the whole night through not realizing her wolf had decided to forsaken rest and stay up the whole night, if she knew she would be even more upset and hurt and it was something she would automatically blame herself for adding on to her hurt. For now she didn't though and she rested her body and mined drained from the night before and she wouldn't be waking up any time soon. Kaleb shock his wife awake in the early hours of dawn. "Sweetheart, I think it's time we find out what happened last night." he told her before standing up and stretching

Devon finally sighed and slipped out of bed. It was growing uncomfortable to lay down anymore. He needed to eat something, and find some way to solve this new and ridiculous problem.
Would the problems never cease?
Silently, he slipped out of the room.
Theresa breathed in deeply as she awoke. She lifted her head groggily and blinked up at her husband. She let her head drop back onto the pillow and groaned.
"Just give me a moment and I'll make some coffee." she sighed.
Reluctant to leave the warm bed, she stretched slowly and took her time. Finally she stepped out to get ready for what was probably going to be a trying day.

Lark didn't even notice Devon had gotten up, because he was so out of it, it would be a while before Devon's absence would bother her unlike on a normal day, when her heart wasn't heavy with depression like it was. Kaleb yawned and stretched and followed his wife out to the kitchen where he got his favorite coffee mug ready and sat at the table with his head down trying to wake up.

Theresa looked over her shoulder as the coffee maker began to trickle out into the pitcher. Devon was there and sat down with them. He looked wide awake, but she didn't miss the slight bags underneath his eyes.
"Morning. Bad night?" she asked, quietly.
Devon looked up and nodded. "Morning." he replied. "I hope that coffee is really strong."
With a sigh, he leaned back in his chair and stretched. "I'm sure you have questions?"

Kaleb chuckled. "It's to early to think of questions just start from the beginning and I'll ask whatever pops in my head, though from the look of things I can tell this is going to make my experience look like a cake walk." The older wolf said raising his head some.

Devon slowly described the night before, trying to explain as objectively as he could. However, by the end of it, he was shaking with anger and ended up crushing the mug on her hand(which thankfully was empty).
"She has already given her word, and I said I'd help her. How does one girl attract so much trouble!" he yelled, exasperated. "This is bringing back all her misery."

The old wolf came off his slouch tilting his head in thought as his son gave his recount of the night before. "Well," Kaleb spoke slowly after his son's story and outburst "If she didn't attract so much trouble, then she would never have found you her mate." Kaleb leaned back in his chair before speaking again. "This is not bringing back anything new, well some of it isn't new, the girl is starved for her mother's love her father is dead and for years she had no one else then you come and give her hope, give her a reason to go on with life.Lark would have committed suicide if she didn't find you when she did, your still new to her so while she loves you with all her might, it should be no surprise that she would try to get back her mother's affection any way she can no matter how much it hurts her but she knows she hurt you too and knowing how she is she's taking the brunt of the blame so no it's not bringing back anything just adding on to a problem that was already there it's just been pushed aside by you." The old wolf said watch his son as his mate came with the much needed coffee

Devon rubbed his temples. "I know. And in my defense I never really thought that her mother would be a problem." he sighed. "She never would talk about her mother. And I never could get her to tell me about her father either. It hurt her too much."
He dropped his head onto the table. "I don't like her at all. Her or the prince." He says, thinking of that woman Alice.

Kaleb sighed and shock his head at his son. "That was a foolish belief son, just because Lark never really talked about her family doesn't mean it wasn't a problem in fact that usually means it's a big problem and your not the only one who likes the of this." The old wolf spoke nodding towards his mate who was looking increasingly troubled as the men conversed

"Hind sight is a b***h." he remarked. He sat back up. "What I need is advice on what to do NOW. I can't change the past. Lark... I don't even begin to know how to get her to explain her past to me without doing something she would hate me for. Or sending her into a panic attack."
Looking at the ceiling, he tried to find some answer. He didn't want to forcibly use their bond to pry for answers. But what other alternative did he have?
