Tobias stayed put for awhile, cradling Delilah against his furry, muscular mass... but he finally got up and padded a few steps away and sat, facing away.
There was silence, until he bowed his head down and morphed back into his human self. He was on his knees, looking out at the forest. Dark eyes focused on a distant memory.
"It was two men." He finally said. "I... was trying to run away with their sister. I loved her, or thought I did. They jumped me, took me deep into the wood... and beat me within an inch of my life." He turned his head to the side. "Anita saved me... and unleashed me on them..." He looked down. "I thought I wouldn't be capable of that again... but after that... I wanted...more..."
Why was he telling her this. Why did any of this matter, it was so long ago.

Dee turned and sat up when he began talking of his past. She could count on her one hand how many times he brought up his past. Not that she was an open book because she wasn't but if he asked she would share anything with him.
She looked over at him unsure what to do but not wanting to stop him. Instead she walked over and sat next to him. She stayed quiet and offered her support in the only way she knew how.

"I don't give a shit about Whale, honestly..." He said, spitting out the name, but then he sighed. "But... to think of anyone having NO CHOICE but to lose themselves, lose their humanity because someone didn't look after them properly as they were reborn into this form..." He looked down, speaking more of Anita's treatment rather then Red's.
"Learning submission was hard... after something like that... after losing myself so completely... and Anita took pleasure in teaching it..." Not just the sex... the humiliation, the degrading, the showing him up. And yet his bond told him that he loved her... that only she could make him feel this way...
Toby put his head down in embarrassment. Embarrassment that his face was contorting, ready to cry like a pussy. It was finally hitting him... something he had always known, that Delilah had always insisted and even challenged his place for Alpha over...
Anita never loved him. And he had fought so hard to protect her memory like she had been some kind of saint. Even with this realization there was a part of himself that vehemently lashed out at him for thinking ill of her... for betraying the memory of his mate. He wanted more then anything to cut that part of himself out and throw it off a cliff.

Dee looked over at Toby and put a hand on his arm. "I know I wasn't always watching but I knew how she treated you and how she insisted it was the way of the pack." She took a breath.
"I swore if I ever became an Alpha I would never use the pack that way. You always had her on a pedestal though I never understood why. She made have been our Alpha but she abused that power to make others feel weak and stupid. She hurt you and I'm sorry for that." Dee was alarmed she was able to share this with him when she never had been able to before.
"I should have never used my power against you the way I did. It makes me as bad as her and for that I'm sorry. I would have followed you as an Alpha but you were becoming her and I wanted to save you Toby. That was the only way I could think to do it. Though I am very well aware I could have died...trying to save you..."
She trailed this was getting super honest and he was opening up to her finally about things he never shared with her before. If Dee blew this by saying something that would set him off she would never forgive herself.
"You shouldn't be so hard on yourself you fought the urge to kill when so many couldn't your stronger then you know."

He watched her speak about him in such a way... it wasn't a forced or resentful way like when he was her Alpha. He was a nobody now, and yet she spoke about him like he was... treasured. It was her own, free words.
Without warning, Toby reached out and drew her in for a kiss that silenced her. It more chaste, but long and deep. He parted from her full lips finally...
It was nice... really nice...but he felt... like betrayal. He looked up at her, his dark eyes large and glistening with tears of frustration. Would he always feel so... trapped?

Dee was shocked when he kissed her deeply he never kissed her for no reason and it actually hurt.
"No you don't get to do that you don't get to play with my feelings like this Tobias!" She suddenly broke all her resolve to keep him at an arms length was breaking into pieces.
"You can't pretend like you care when I know, I know your thinking about her always about her. The women who treated you like SHIT she hurt you in ways your still getting over and I can't keep doing this. I can't keep pretending I'm content to sleep with you and never ask for more." She felt tears come to her eyes but forced them back Dee didn't cry in front of anyone and not him especially.
She turned away from him wondering what the hell was wrong with her. "You need to remember who she was not what that mating mark wants you to." She stood up ready to leave she needed to check on Victor anyway if him and Red were doing it she was going to kill someone.

He looked up at her as if she had slapped him, but then he bowed his head. She was right. About everything.
He didn't even stop her from walking away. He stayed in one place until he couldn't bear the words running though his mind that she had said to him anymore. He morphed back into his wolf state and ran away.

The ivory wolf yipped form the bottom of the pit, wanting out, wanting more food, wanting it's mate. But the pack around the edges growled mockingly before dispersing to areas a little ways away from the hole. Some played and rolled about, while others were sniffing the ground, trying to pick up on trails of prey.
The wolf in the the pit gave a final whine. He laid back down, large eyes looking up at the opening, wondering if anyone would hear his plight.

Red whined softly, still curled up away from he pit. She could hear him- but even worse she could feel what he was feeling which was starting to kill her. She picked up her head a little when it stopped. She glanced over to where she'd last seen Dee and Tobias.... they were no where in sight.
She picked herself up off the ground and edged to the pit again, not even fully walking, halfway over she crawled on her belly to peek over the edge at her mate. She was lying to herself if the she told herself the only reason she was here was to make sure he was okay- she knew through the bond he wa fine.... physically at least.
Her tail swished happily when she met his big blue eyes with her gold, she gave a small whine and yip as a greeting.

His head perked up. His tail began wagging, slowly, but quicker as he stood up, getting a whiff of his mate's scent. He barked back, pawing at the wall.

Red stood and barked back, her tail wagging happily.She paced along the side, judging the sides of the wall, she wanted to join him- despite the ugliness, smell of the pit and the fury she'd face from her alpha. But she couldn't- she shouldn't even be here now....
But the height, even with her werewolf body she could hurt herself. She whined and laid back down, here was no way to get him out either- NO. That was something she couldn't do- if something happened they'd both be riddled with guilt- but Victor especially. It was just one night, it would be over in a few hours anyway.
For now she'd just have to enjoy his cute fluffiness from a distance.

His mate wasn't going to help. COULDN'T help... He laid back down with a huff and whined until his throat was sore....
**************************************************************************
Victor awoke to morning light shining through parted leaves at the hole's opening. He squinted his eyes and then turned his head to the side. Carcass bits. Possibly a deer... good Darwin... he HOPED it was a deer...
He backed away from them, as flies buzzed about, and called up.
"Hello?" His voice was so hoarse. He gave a cough, but tried again. "HELLO? Is anyone up there?"

Red's eyes shot at the sound of is voice, his human voice. She sat up then scurried over to the edge. Someone had brought her a blanket but remained outside apparently.
"Victor?" She called down, her face lit up when their eyes met, Hang on, I'm coming down!!" Red ran back and got the ladder Whale had used to enter the pit then climbed down once it was lowered. She skipped the last few rungs and leaped down to the ground only to latch herself to her mate. Red hid her face in his chest an giggled,"It's over, we're done with the pit," She breathed excitedly then reached up to give him a kiss," how... how do you feel?"

"Not quite." Tobey said from the opening of the pit. "He needs to be back here again tonight." The cockiness was gone... and the ex-alpha looked horrible, like he had been up all night. He avoided Delilah's gaze... IF she would gaze at him. She seemed to be avoiding his eyes as well, arms crossed as she leaned against a tree.
Tobey threw handcuffs down into the pit for Red to catch; actual functioning ones. "Take this more seriously, Ruby... or you'll end up having a harder time undoing the damage... or not be able to undo it at all." He said grimly. He then walked away.

Whale's eyebrow arched, as he saw the cuffs. He envisioned Red in them...and little else... and then he realized they were for HIM. He scowled up at Tobias before he walked away. His arms were still around Red.
"Another night huh?" He looked at her. She looked so beautiful and her scent was intoxicating...like seeing loved one after years of being apart from them. "It's alright, aside from the initial descent, I don't remember much..." He admitted. "I felt myself changing inside and then... black..."
He looked down at himself and made a face. His hair was matted, his nails dirty, and his nice clothes that were usually pressed and spotless were soiled with miscellaneous stains. And his breath was horrible... like something DIED... but eying the remains of deer it wasn't hard to put together WHY.
