His scent, ever so familiar to her nose, like an imprint stored in her mind, drifted to her nostrils as she walked quietly through the woods. She breathed in the scent with a content sigh, already knowing he was searching for her through the woods as the smell strengthened. Her paws slowed, waiting for him to find her like a game of hide and seek she ever so willingly wanted to be found. Though before he reached her exact location, he let out a bark, and awaited her arrival. She rolled her eyes playfully, letting out a snort and trotted over to him. Why did she have to do all the work? Why couldn't he come to her, who she desired at this point in time? Why did she have to look for her own prize - her lover? Well, he was the alpha; he could do whatever he wanted, she supposed.
It felt odd to call her friend - or perhaps mate as he had randomly decided to address her - an alpha. More importantly, her alpha. About a year ago as children they were friends, good friends if she could add. She never saw herself growing more attached and having stronger feelings than that. She never thought much about love nor did she wish to burden herself with such an emotion. She saw it as a silly and unnecessary thing, as all pups do. A lot had changed, she had to admit. Never did she think she would fall this far and hard for someone who she had thought would always be her friend. Now they were more than that.
When she reached him, she nuzzled into his cheek, hoping to greet him in a caressing embrace if he so wished. She felt satisfied, complete, when she was with him. All of her worries ceased to exist. It was just him and her, just how she always wanted it. Though when she closed her eyes for a second to let the moment sink in, a small thought - a memory, popped into her head. How could she forget it? It was the sole reason why she sought him out. "So," she began in a casual tone, battling her lashes playfully as she gazed into his bicoloured stare. "I heard you say something about us being mates now." She tried not to sound too stern in her words, though there was an element of seriousness behind the topic.
