lose your faith in me

Rhyme tried not to linger in the past, there was a lot of pain and heartache he didn’t want to relive. Darilnor was one part of his past he never wanted to forget though. Though he hadn’t quite felt he’d found the right moment to tell his children about their lost brother he hoped for them to know about him. So his memory might live on in them too.

A gentle spring breeze whipped up his fur along with Shaye’s familiar scent. The slate alpha shifted his features towards her as she slipped in beside him. Her presence was an odd comfort despite the growing chasm between them. He felt his voice get caught in the lump in his throat as she gently placed a paw next to his. One icy white and the other midnight black above Darilnor’s resting place.

Blue and lavender gaze lingered there for a moment as he instinctively leaned in to Shaye’s support. They hadn’t been on the same wavelength in a long time now, and he could feel the gap keenly in his heart.

”Shaye,” he whispered as he debated if he welcomed her company or would be better to mourn on his own.
