CHAPTER FOUR

Owen

I'd thought that Thomas was more alpha material, but that was before Helena came downstairs and I saw her as she really was and not the meek wolf she pretended to be for Abraham's benefit. Thomas lowered his head for her, and I automatically did the same. Lily was upstairs. I didn't know why she wasn't joining us and I didn't ask. It wasn't my business.

"Hello," I said. I'd made them French toast. There wasn't much else available in the house, but they'd had a dozen eggs and a half-eaten loaf of bread. I'd need someone to take me to the store sometime soon if they wanted to keep eating. Maybe they ate out a lot more than they ate at home though.

"Thank you for breakfast," Thomas said as he sat down and pulled a plate toward himself.

Helena said nothing, but she began eating as well. She looked to me often, and then to Thomas, as if she was deciding something for herself, but I wasn't sure what it could have been, and I didn't want to ask. What went on in her head wasn't any of my business.

"What time are you planning to go back to Abraham tomorrow? I'd like to get to the store to get some more food for you all. I can come up with a list and be ready to go shortly if you'd like," I offered.

I thought it had been a safe question to ask the two of them, but as soon as I'd spoken Helena pushed her food away. Thomas too looked as if he was done eating.

"I'm sorry," I mumbled.

I didn't expect an apology from either of them. They hadn't done anything wrong. But I didn't expect Helena to go back upstairs either. Thomas sat there across from me, looking lost and upset. I reached out to him, offering whatever comfort I could give him for whatever he was possibly going through. He looked at our joined hands and then at me.

"You don't have to be sorry. Losing Lily is weighing heavily on Helena and me."

I could understand that. I got up from my chair and took the one beside him instead. I leaned against him, offering whatever support and comfort I could give him. It wasn't much. And I knew that. But I wanted to help however I could.

Thomas leaned over and ran his cheek over my temple. It was a simple gesture, just affection from one wolf to another, but it had been a long time since anyone had given me something so gentle.

"We're in a tough spot right now," he said.

I knew he was putting it mildly. "I wish I could help."

"The only way for anything to be helped would be if Abraham wasn't our alpha."

He was bordering on treason with his words, but I wasn't going to say that. I couldn't remove Abraham from power and I couldn't make him not take Lily away from them. I could, however, hopefully ease him for a little while. I put my hand on his thigh, offering him what I could, but he only laced my fingers with his.
