Miles’ eyes widened slightly, “Please don’t involve the brothers. That’s the last thing I want.” Thankfully it hadn’t come to that. He was trying to stay away from as much drama as he could. Maybe not a completely low profile, but at least one that kept him out of trouble. If it wasn’t the brothers, it’d be the cops. At least no one else had noticed them seeing each other around town. There were a few times where he’d pick a different coffee place or food spot to avoid making it awkward. Although, this was taking the cake for that. His nerves were at least simmering down now that he knew they had both thought along the same lines. It made this ten times easier.
A small chuckle escaped him as his eyes went back to his coffee, his cheeks flushing slightly. “No, that’s not what I’m saying. But, if either of us start hitting on each other now, the stalking aspect of this seems like it’d come back into play.” Miles found her attractive, but he was new and this wasn’t exactly his ideal way of getting to know someone. Some sort of platonic relationship between the two was enough. He smiled, “Not one for sharing?” There were certain parts of his life Miles had no problem saying, but there was just as many that he wouldn’t speak out. His eyebrows raised at the comment, not knowing what exactly that might be. Except for maybe being at all the same places at the same time. It wasn’t until he saw the flash of her eyes change to gold, his mouth falling open again. There had been some hints to other supernaturals being in town, it was one of the reasons he had come in the first place, but he didn’t think anyone ever come out and tell him. Miles sat up, closing his mouth as he realized the look he must have. “I guess we do.” He paused, “Do I make it that obvious?”
Ally laughed at Miles’ reaction to the comment about her brothers, it was something she was used to but it never failed to amuse her how scared guys would seem to get if she alluded to seeking aid from her brothers. “I’m a little offended that you’re more scared of my brothers than me, I’m much tougher than they are” she could just imagine Brax popping up out of nowhere to contest that, given that it wouldn’t have been the strangest thing to happen that day she took a second to do a quick look around and double check that they wouldn’t be interrupted by either of her brothers. If Col or Brax saw her sitting alone at a table with a guy she had no doubt that they’d make their presence known, Brax most likely to embarrass her and Col to take on the traditional ‘dad’ role of inquisitor but both with her protection in mind.
“Damn and I’d just come up with a good line too, guess I’ll have to save it” Ally wondered if Miles was always so easy to mess with or if it was just a by-product of the incredibly weird situation they found themselves in, she knew that for her personally it had altered her usual personality somewhat at the beginning and mused as to whether she’d have met a totally different person if the circumstances of their meeting were more normal. “Not particularly no, not with strangers at least” which was sort of a white lie given that she hated sharing in general, surface stuff was fine but anything deeper...anything from her past. She wasn’t a religious person but she found herself praying to God that it wouldn’t come to that, that whatever was pulling them together was based on the fact that they were both wolves.
The wolf cocked her head at Miles’ apparent surprise “You really didn’t…?” which meant he was either recently turned or didn’t bother spending much time around other wolves, both options held their own set of concerns. “Sorry, no you aren’t obvious at all. For people like us, there are ways to tell using your senses” a pause before she voiced her next question, hesitant to ask because she knew it could be sensitive but knowing that it was something that both her and Col would need to know “Didn’t your sire teach you about that? Or even the alpha from your last pack?” it was a fairly standard thing to teach new wolves, helpful if they found themselves in a new place without a pack as it enabled them to find others of their kind.
