Broken promises

Gyles. 

I sit on the edge of his bed because I am suddenly regretting this decision. Yeah, we didn't know what we walked into but I at least didn't think it would be this bad. We both hear their conversations. His mother is not even trying to be subtle. She is not hiding how she feels at all and I see that she doesn't like us—she doesn't like wolves.

"We messed up,' Rex mutters quietly. He is still standing on the same spot from when Blue left. He doesn't seem to want to move.

"Hey, come here,'' I stretch my hands out and he moves slowly until he is in front of me. His eyes are still fixed to the door. He is waiting for Blue to come back into the room. The voices have stopped, so I know that his mother is no longer with him. I don't know why he hasn't come in but I need to just focus on Rex right now. I grab his hands in mine and he finally turns to me. "It's going to be okay."
