over tonight.” Jax said, avoiding eye contact with Reven.
     
    “We’ll take east.” Crator said before he and Bree took off at a jog in that direction. Jax had no time to stop them. She had intended to be paired with either Bree or Crator. She didn’t have much of a choice now, she thought with a sigh.
     
    “I’m ready when you are.” Reven said, giving one last glance towards Kintaq and the puppy.
     
    Jax nodded and sprinted towards the west; Reven easily jogged beside her as her short legs were forced to run to keep up with his stride. It was times like this that Jax wished she’d been taller.
     
    An hour later they had more than made up the time they had lost and Reven slowed to a walk. Jax would never have admitted it; he thought, but he could feel her getting tired. What was a relaxing jog for him, had been a flat out run for her, and he knew she must be feeling it by now.
     
    “Why are we stopping?” Jax asked, the words coming out on puffs of heavy breaths.
     
    “We’ve made up the time we lost. I wanted to walk for a bit. What do you think of Wolfen?” Reven said, his eyes scouring the neighborhood they were in for any sign of the girls or the red car.
     
    Jax stopped breathing for a moment, her heavy breath from the run preventing her from hearing correctly.
     
    “What?” She asked, looking at him curiously.
     
    “Wolfen. For the puppy. Kintaq finished his exam and said he is part Shepard, wolf and Dane." Reven said, staying to the shadows along the street as they searched for any sights, sounds or energy that was out of place.  
     
    Jax wasn’t sure what surprised her more, that he was still thinking of the puppy or that he’d already checked on the welfare of the animal.
     
    “It sounds a bit… pompous. He’s just a puppy.” Jax said, trying to keep her eyes on the homes around them and not his sexy ass in those snug jeans.
     
    “Yes, but one day he will be a big dog and will grow into his name.” Reven countered with a grin that seemed to kick her in the chest. Damn the man was potent; she thought with a shake of her head to clear it.
     
    “Good point. It still seems like a lot of pressure to put on the little guy though. What if he doesn’t want to be tough or live up to such a strong name?” Jax asked, a little stunned to realize she actually liked talking to the irritating man when he wasn’t being an asshole.
     
    They argued and fought so much; she couldn’t remember ever having an actual conversation with him. About anything. It was a lot more pleasant than she expected it would be and didn’t mind continuing, even though she knew he’d piss her off eventually. He wouldn’t be able to help himself; she thought almost sadly.
     
    Jax was so deep in her own thoughts that she almost ran into him when he stopped and turned to her. She looked up into his swirling eyes as he looked deeply into hers.
     
    “He is a scared little boy who watched his mother die in a horrible way. If he is not encouraged to redirect that anger and fear he holds, into personal strength, he will self-destruct or turn mean. I will not allow that to happen to such a sweet boy.”
     
    “I will make him strong, so he will never fear that he will let someone else down again. So he will never have to watch helplessly while someone he loves dies in his arms again.”
     
    Reven stopped abruptly and turned from Jax’s eyes as if he’d said too much. Jax didn’t miss it though. She also didn’t miss the riot of emotions that was bleeding through his energy.
     
    “Wolfen it is.” Jax said as she ran to catch up to the swiftly moving man.
     
    She ran through what he’d said in her mind until she had it memorized. There was much of this man that she didn’t know, she thought. It was about time she learned. Jax ran through everyone in her mind that she could think of that would give her some files on the man.
     
    After careful thought, she sent a call through the Shengari’ to the one
