To you I will always return
Nova had missed him terribly… words alone couldn’t express how much she had needed him. But now that Dae was back she felt at ease again. Safe. A part of her recognized it was wrong... how much she relied on Daemon. But she loved him… whether it was wrong or right how it started. She trusted the man with her life… and she would remain loyally by his side. “More than you know.” Nova confessed softly. His touch was appreciated… the only touch she actually desired. She knew she could trust him… he was gentle. He wouldn’t hurt her. The female rested her head against his body and listened to the words that came from his maw as a thoughtful frown found its way to her face. So the rest of their family had abandoned them…
“I’m sorry…” They were bloodkin to Dae… and Nova gave him a nuzzle. She wasn’t sure he needed it but she wanted to comfort him. “Know this… I won’t abandon you Daemon.” The female promised. “We’ll make our family, our empire…” The female nodded. “I’ll need to become even stronger… after what happened… I… I don’t know what I’d do if you hadn’t come to my aid then.”
“There was another male I met a little while back as well. Passing through our territory…” Her red eyes shifted to his. “We interacted a little… but there is only one man I ever want to be with as my husband. No other man will touch me like that again… save for you.” Nova gave a soft whine.
“My father is undoubtedly still out there…” The female continued. “As I said… I’m going to have to get stronger… to be a proper wife at your side. I can’t hide behind you anymore… I have to learn to stand beside you.” It was clear that the young woman had done a lot of thinking the past season. |
