Where Do Your Demons Hide?
The first task that her new Theta would have, wasn't supposed to be fight training - but that was just how things went weren't they? She was fully prepared to fall into a defensive stance and give fighting Rayne a go, but she froze, her fur bristling slightly at the smell of thick snow on the air. The alpha for a moment feared that Valhalla was being ambushed and that intruders had sneaked into the borders, but there was something far too familiar about that scent to be the enemy. Pulling herself out of sparring mode, she would pull her gaze away from Rayne, glancing to either side of her. It was a bit strange to see her unfocused, but she didn't want to sound any alarms until she was sure...
When she finally realized just who was behind her, her pensive look melted completely. Disbelief was on the alpha's face, only for it to stretch into a smile as she turned to face her mate. "Gideon!" She couldn't make any more of a sentence than that to start, and she quickly turned to bathe the man in kisses. Although she cared very much for Syrinx's training, she would not miss a reunion with her husband - not when she had been so worried, not when she had been fully prepared to fight tooth and nail for him unknowing of what state he was in. "You have no idea how much I missed you! I'm so sorry I lost you." Her words were quiet, just for him despite their current company - yet for a single moment her worries were swept clean, and she was overjoyed to see her mate back where he belonged - at her side.
Stepping back she would look him over, noting that he was all in one piece - they had not tormented him, had not sent him back bruised and broken, a testimony to what they did with their prisoners... "What happened? They took you back on the battlefield, why would they..." There had to be a dire consequence, if they had sent him back, what in the world could they have gotten for him in return?
This was the dangerous part she was an intruder surrounded by pack wolves if she failed to plead her case if even one of them suspected a trap and attacked she would be gone. She had not said goodbye to the snow rouges for what was the point of goodbyes if she was planning to return? Anyway, they had all heard the rumours they would figure out where she had gone, even if she didn't come back. ? I humbly apologise for crossing your border, however no member came to great me and if the rumours are true, as I would suspect they are, I thought perhaps you could use another wolf in this fight,? she waited for a moment head and body still bowed then stood letting her golden eyes rise to meat the kings blue gaze, he was big larger by far then she, a nervous laugh began to rise in her throat and she forced it back down. Taking a deep breath she continued, ?i was member of glacium under Gargoyles reign, when he was defeated I and many others followed him into the wilderness, we became the snow rouges, and settled.?
?The rumours have reached us however that the white king and his bitch of a queen seek further lands, I would offer my strength and my knowledge to contract this threat, I now there was no love lost between our packs in the past but I come now not as a member of my pack but as a lone wolf who wishes to assist in this fight and perhaps reduce the chances of another having to face what we have endured.? she ended her speech and stood waiting for the verdict, she did not tense for a fight what would be the point if she was attacked by the alpha she was sure the others would pile in she would be dead before she hit the ground, instead she raised her head her throat bear submission to the alpha and if there was to be a fight at least she would have a quick death.
