Reuniting Tornedalians

Harrison put his attention back onto Faun then, burying his face into her hair contently.

----
"So, whats your dream wedding dress look like?" Peyton asked Rebekah cheerily, sat beside her bed.

Rebekah was lying in bed, she was too weak to sit up and she smiled slightly as she and Peyton talked. "I don't know really."
________

Faun hugged him back. "What did you and dad talk about?"

"He just said he would stay for as long as we needed him to stay for,"

----
"You want to go puffy and princess-ey or elegant but glamourous with a mermaid tail of classy and simple?"

She nodded. "I thought he would, he thinks the world of you."
_______

"I don't know really, I've never really. Worn dresses so I don't know what would fit.... What did you wear when you married Koby?"

"Simple, really simple. I didn't want any of the flashy stuff, and we done it in the summer so it was a thin material. Not heavy at all."

---
"Mm, thats only because of whatever you've been telling him."

"Not just that." She told him.
______

She nodded. "You know...When this happened to me," She weakly gestured to herself. "I honestly thought that I was going to die... Peyton I was so scared because all I kept thinking about was Noah and how he was going to be if I did." She told her. "I mean, his best friend, almost his brother did this to me."

"Yeah," Peyton whispered, "And- and how is Noah coping with that thought now?"

---
"What else?"

"Not very well... He doesn't want Harrison to come anywhere near me or him... But Harrison is our alpha he can't avoid him forever."
______

"the way he sees you."

"Do you think he is scared of him now, or is he just being protective of you?"

---
"I don't know how he sees me,"

"I honestly don't know, he just looks angry."
_____

"He sees you as his own son."

Harrison just shrugged a little bit at that.

---
"Maybe it's a mixture of all three. Betrayal makes people feel a lot of things."

She kissed his cheek. "Come and join the pack, this is a group effort." She told him.
______

"Maybe." She looked up to the ceiling.

"You know him, I don't. It means only you understand what his behaviour means, and if you think he is being stupid then only you know the best way to tell him that."

---
"I don't know," Harrison whispered.

"This is the first step to getting back to being alpha." She told him, sliding her hand into his. "Ill be here the whole time."
________

"I know."

"I would really just rather spend time with you, as just us."

---
"I always tell Koby he is being stupid. They need to be told, men do, otherwise they don't see it."

"How about later I take you somewhere special?" She asked. "We should really help."
__________

"Yeah I've noticed."

Harrison wrinkled his nose uncomfortably, mumbling, "I'd really rather just spend time with you."

----
"Noah's a good guy though, and you're a good lady. You're a good match. I'm happy for you."

She smiled. "Thank you... I'm. Sorry to cut this short, but I'm really tired Peyton, can you come back and we can chat more tomorrow?"
______

"I know and we will."

Peyton nodded, getting to her feet and humming; "Rest well," before heading out.

----
"I mean now. I- You know what, forget it." Harrison grumbled, turning and walking away, heading toward the river to be alone.

She sighed. "I have jobs to do." She whispered, before she went back to helping the pack
______

Rebekah smiled. "If you see Noah, tell him not to rush back."

"I will," Peyton hummed, closing the door behind herself.

---
Harrison sat himself down cross-legged by the water.

When she had finished helping the pack, she went to find him.
______

Rebekah settled. Down to sleep.

Harrison was just watching the water in silence.

---
Peyton slid her arms around Koby when she bumped into him. "Hi you,"

"Hi to you too." He told her.
_____

She came and sat with him.

Harrison glanced over to the side at her.

----
"How did it go with Harrison?"
