Nero lips curl in a funny sort of dazed smile after Caden kisses them and flashes his lazy smile. They feel their cheeks warm as their heart beats pleasantly, knowing that the man loved them with their whole being. Now if only Avery and Kiki could figure it out. 

Once Caden disappears towards the gym, Nero heads out the front door and follows the angry footsteps in the ground. They come across a shattered tree but no Avery. They glance around and see the garage, their gut telling them that the wolf might be there. [color=#9B111E]“Little wolf, little wolf!”[/color] Nero calls out with their hands cupped around their lips.

Kiki raises her hands in a weird shrugging gesture, keeping her gaze locked on a shard of glass nearby. [color=FFF79A]“He wanted to spar with me when Nic left and I was trying to ask if that was even fair with the mate bond and…”[/color] She closes her eyes and shakes her head.

[color=FFF79A]“He started calling me out! Saying utter bullshit about how I wasn’t putting in the effort if a ‘human’ could beat me so easily!”[/color]

Nic looks up from his progress of sweeping the shattered mirror with a frown. [color=f7941d]“But I’ve been boxing since high school - I’ve got more than a decade of experience over you…”[/color]

[color=fff79a]“Exactly!”[/color] Kimiko exclaims with an exasperated tone. [color=fff79a]“Then he started talking about how he can’t ’lock me in my room’ but also can’t ‘let me leave the house’ without him.”[/color] Kimiko flicks some of the broken pieces to scoot them closer to Nic. [color=fff79a]“I try to tell him I’m not helpless and…”[/color] 

Nic watches as Kimiko bit her lip and clench her jaw and looks away to focus more on his task of clean up. [color=fff79a]“I-I can’t sleep through the night without him right n-now and he threw that fact in m-my face.”[/color] Her fists clench and she hammers a fist into the mat underneath her. Nic throws a glance at Cassi, unsure of what to make of the entire situation. He knows Kimiko has an angry streak, but Avery always seems so in control…
