"You came here for Piper." Although Garron stared back at Scar with a face cut from stone, inside he just wanted to flee from Scar like a frightened mouse. "But what right do you have to keep me from interacting with her? You watch over her every movement. She has no free will. I won't be the same way, and I won't apologize for that, either." Garron may have been terrified, but he was surprised at the strength of which he delivered these words. They were as true as the fact that the snow was white; he'd die before he submitted to a wolf that he did not respect.
Scar smiled and licked his fangs. He chuckled and forced his hackles to lie flat on his back.
"You don't need to apologize for anything, Garron. After all...you didn't understand what I was trying to communicate the other day. If you HAD that would be a different matter entirely. Let me elaborate...Piper is my sister...the only family of mine still alive. She is my only link to my past...I would die before I would let any wolf hurt her! She is sometimes weak and timid and I'm surprised she has lasted this long...probably on the charity of Pinepack. But she has ME now...she doesn't need
charity. " the last word was said radically different from the rest, spat out like venom, his face contorted for a moment to one full of hidden anger and then back to it's calm stare.
"You are just one of the rest...more stubborn, true, but no different. You pity her, and out of pity you try and be nice to her...to be her
friend. But you see..." he took one step forward, his muscles rippling down his lean and powerful hide, "If she takes your gestures of 'kindness' as affection, then when you leave or find a mate or decide you've done enough 'nice' things for Piper...you'll break her heart. And I'll have to gather up the pieces." he blinked and flared his nostrils.
"Don't think I don't know about you two speaking together. Piper told me. She was worried for you, that I might hurt you." he laughed.
"She asked me to talk to you and try and come to terms. She is very sweet and caring, my sister." he stared right into Garron's eyes. "You are not worthy of her."
"Piper made me swear not to kill you, and I won't, but she made it clear that she doesn't want you hanging around anymore. She can't bear the tension between you and me and she can't bear not knowing what you're real intentions are. So...I am not here to make you keep away from Piper..."
He growled low but kept his face neutral. "Although I could...I'm here to convey my sister's wishes. She was too emotional to do it herself. She want's you to keep away, her very words were, "I just need some time to get to know my brother." She was crying when she said it...she really does think you are her friend, but you and I know differently. She was trying to let you down easily this morning. Can't you see the signs? She doesn't want you to pick a fight." Scar frowned at Garron his voice full of emotion.
"She want's to see you once more. Then you stay away. Give the she-wolf space...got it?"
He backed up a step. "This evening, where you met in the territory. I won't be there...I'll be with the alphas on a group hunt. If you doubt my words...listen to Piper."
Scar grinned at him, knowing his words would ring true in the wolf's ears. He would talk to Piper before they met...that would seal the deal.
