saving myself from the ruin

Her heart pounded rapidly against her breast, anxiety coursing through her veins. She did not want this, she did not, but she had little choice now but to go through with her agreement. For the pack.

She bit her lip, skidding to a halt before him and allowing his affections but for a moment, her muzzle twisting upwards to offer a kiss to his jawline before she recoiled, her ears pulled back against her skull in uncertainty. "De I- I need to talk to you. About Medsua." Her tail all but tucked itself between her thighs, claws digging nervously into the soft earth below. They were blunted now from her fervent digging out of their den, her pawpads cracked from being unused to so much travel after her years of listlessness, but it was all pointless in the light of what she had to tell him now, her wild gaze settling nervously upon the familiar contours of his face.
