Ethan & Dustin
Dustin was not a happy camper at the moment, there was a point in which she hated being so small. You always heard lame jokes making fun of how you couldnât reach something, you had to get on your tippy toes, or they would pat your head. People would see you as someone weak, someone who couldnât do anything for themselves. Then her shy nature didnât help at all. Her gaze turned to look at Briony and Gabriel when they spoke to Ethanâs âNice to meet youâ. She just gave a curt nod and turned her attention back up to Ethan. Ethan glanced down at the small blonde, smirking as he caught her cold glare knowing he was about to be hit or something. He was right, about that time was when Dustin popped him on the back of the head. âShould have had a V-8..â She grumbled in a rather smug voice as she crossed her small arms and smirked when she saw Briony and Gabriel both got a kick out of her popping Ethan on the back of the head. Ethan couldnât help but laugh at the small girlâs words, he had to admit Dustin had a few good comebacks..but he would never admit that out-loud. His eyes found Briony as he watched her look down at her Great Dane, he couldnât help but let a little surprise sweep across his face as he watched her give the dog a command with just a nod, but Ethan quickly wiped all emotions off his face. Dustin on the other hand..her face lit up when she saw the dog get up and come toward her. She bent down into a crouching position as she let the dog smell her first before she went to pet him. She grinned as she began to scratch him behind the ear. âWell ainât you just a handsome thing..â she mumbled softly.
Ethan grinned as he could smell that honey sweet blood from a mile away. Cedric. It had been awhile since he had seen his friend in person. He could still clearly remember the day he met the werewolf. He had heard a lot about Cedricâs family, his siblings, and now the his neighboring islands inhabitants from Cedric himself. Cedric had yet to meet Dustin, but he had heard about her and Ethan knew his friend was a bit skeptical on the whole issue of her being a half-breed. He smirked as he watched Cedric place a hand on Gabeâs shoulder. He nudged Dustin, knowing Cedric was about to speak. Dustin just cut her eyes at him and went back to loving on the huge dog. Ethan sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. He knew Dustin would make a great impression..sarcasm. Dustin knew what Ethan was thinking so she stood, but her hand could easily reach the dog so she continued petting him. The dog was helping with her nervousness, it had almost vanished. She watched as Cedric introduced himself, she narrowed her eyes as she looked at the three siblings. They were a strong bunch, she bet they were a force to be reckoned with. Ethan had crossed his arms as he smirked, listening to his friend speak. Dustin on the other hand had cleared her face of any expressions, keeping it at an almost bored emotion..borderline of a blank expression. But she couldnât help as she rolled her eyes when Cedric spoke of the flight and boat ride being enjoyable. Great. They had the next President here. Or at least he was giving a speech like one, guess thatâs why he was the Alpha.
Ethan chuckled as he listened to his friend speak, he wasnât gonna miss a beat and he seemed to be wording it just right. Dustinâs face had a curious glint to it, she was thinking of the bonfire. The curious glint faded as she tilted her head at Gabe when he sighed. Then when he mouthed, âDo you need help?â she clenched her teeth as she just shook her head. Then she glanced down at the huge bag and back up at Gabe, maybe it was a good idea to let him help her. Nah, sheâd get Ethan to do it. She glanced over to ask him, but he wasnât there.
Catching up with his long lost friend, Ethan smiled. âItâs good to see you, friend.â he chuckled, teasing Cedric by saying friend in the same voice. âYou know, if this whole werewolf thing doesnât work out you could go into motivational speaking speaking.â he teased huskily as he glanced around at the other werewolves. It was true, they were gonna need some work but with a little training he was sure Cedric was going to have a strong pack. He was glad he decided to train Dustin ahead of time.
Dustin watched as Ethan had took off with Cedric. He had been texting Cedric, calling Cedric..it was Cedric this Cedric that. âDonât act a fool in front of Cedricâ âDonât be rude to Cedric.â âAlways listen to Cedricâ That was all Dustin had been hearing for the last week for all she knew Ethan and Cedric had a bromance. Which she took the opportunity to tease Ethan about it heavily, which did not settle well with the guy. She shrugged if off as she gave a final pat to the large dog and then grabbed her suitcase. She gave a tug as she slowly started after the group. Still having that stomach churning feeling. What if the other purebred werewolves didnât approve of half-breeds?
Ethan was enjoying catching up with his friend, but he narrowed his eyes as he saw a figure in the distance. It looked feminine. His face went from content to a rather stoney look. Who was this? What made him even more hesitant of the stranger..most of the wolves here smelled like Cedric. That honey sweet scent that made his eyes have a bit of a silver hint to them with the blood lust. Some of them smelled like Dustin, a normal human scent with the honey scent mixed in, the half-breeds. Then there was this stranger. She didnât smell like either of the two, which was already beginning to worry Ethan. He looked at Cedric, not hiding his concern.
