“Do you need any help?” Porter stood behind Julian and crossed his arms.

“No.” Julian continued to work on the ship. In fact, he hadn’t stopped working on the ship since that morning.

After Alyssa’s revelation the night before, they all made their way back to their little camp. They didn’t speak much, but all got in bed and actually slept.

“Julian.” He stepped forward.

“We didn’t kill her.” Julian threw down the piece of wood he attempted to use to patch up the deck and stood. “That is insane you know that. It’s all the rhetoric drummed up by humans and the other members of the so-called Okeanos Federation to alienate the Lykans because they were terrified of us, and I’m going to tell her that.”

Porter held his hand up. “Maybe–”

“Don’t you ever tell me what to do. I tell you what to do.” Julian swiped his hand away, stomped across the ship and into the galley.

Porter ran after him.

Alyssa stood at the small countertop with some fruit and other rations to cobble together a meal. The moment they entered, she turned.

Julian rushed toward her and grabbed her shoulders. “Listen to me.”

“What?” She stared up at him. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing!” Julian squeezed her tighter. “Nothing is wrong, and nothing will be wrong, because all that garbage they filled your head with is one hundred percent not true, brought to you by slimy politicians to bring about change.”

“Sort of like what you do.” Porter joined them.

“Don’t you start with me, you’re in medicine. I demand you tell her!” Julian shook her.

Alyssa let out a little cry, and her chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath.

“Julian!” He pried Julian off her.

“Tell her!”

“Take a breath.” He pulled Alyssa to him. Frustration, lack of mating during the height of the cycle, and being stuck on an island had all caused Julian’s outburst.

She hid her face in his chest.

Julian turned away and pounded his fist into the counter.

“How about we all calm down and Alyssa and I will take a walk, forage for something better than this food, and have a talk?” Whether or not Julian allowed them to go alone would tell him everything he needed to know and he would act accordingly. After all, he always ended up consoling Julian’s pets once they got too hard to take care of. It was almost as if Julian couldn’t deal with the loss, instead that was his specialty.

“Maybe that’s a good idea.” Julian pushed himself up and went to her. “Forgive me.”

She pushed back from him and smiled. “Always.”

Julian bent down and gave her a light peck. “By the time you get back, we will have a deck fit for walking on.”

She pressed her palm to his cheek and nodded, almost as if she sensed their time was coming to a close. “See you in a little bit.”

Julian nodded and returned to his work.

He found a large bowl for collecting whatever they found, took her hand and led her off the ship. “Well, I definitely got the better end of this deal.
