(Ah. I see and understand. I hope you get your sinuses or whatever's wrong taken care of soon. And Merry Christmas to you too!!)

Leo shrugged his shoulders when Brayden said that Damian--whom Leo assumed was the Alpha--wasn't that bad. Guess he'll find out soon enough then. He looked at the television when it came on as Brayden began flicking through the channels. As soon as it landed on the local news, Leo turned away and tuned it out. It wasn't the local news he was used to watching, thus he didn't watch it. And so, he didn't see nor hear the female reporter before Brayden changed the channel.

Leo's eyes got wide at Brayden's next statement.

"Seriously?!" Leo exclaimed nearly jumping from the bed, but restrained himself with a blush. "But why do our families--mine and Trevor's--have a problem with it? I mean, yes they kill humans, but...." A knock at the door cut Leo off of what he was about to say next.

The male standing at the door that Brayden just opened--Leo assumed it was Damian, the Alpha as he had that...air about him--made Leo want to just curl uup in the fetal position and hope damian went away. But he didn't as he also felt the need to give a good first impression to the Alpha.

However, when Damian grabbed and smelled Leo, fear showed on his face and in his eyes. It didn't go away until Damian dropped Leo back onto the bed. Only then did he speak, shakily at that.

"Y-yes, I-I'm p-pregnant," Leo said fearful and with his eyes downcast. "I-I was following orders from my uncle and shot Brayden's girlfriend by accident. I didn't mean to do it!! And now I'm here in this condition with my friend injured and barely alive and....and...," he had tried to hold back the tears throughout the entire explanation, but as he pictured Trevor in the room down the hall, his resolve broke down and allowed the tears to break free, "And it's all my fault for being such a wreckless, heartless bastard."
