waiting for this moment to be free

Rhyme was no stranger to anger, and still struggled with the emotion to this day. Of course he did make an attempt to control himself, he couldn’t completely cut the emotion from his life. You had to get passionate about some things. Like his kids, Rhyme would have given everything for his pups. He took no threats to them. So far this stranger seemed mostly harmless, and his relaxed stance only furthered that assumption of him in Rhyme’s mind.

He could recognize the sentiment in the stranger’s voice as he showed sympathy for the alpha’s lack of time to appreciate the beauty around him. Raising his children and enjoying them while they were still young was at the top of Rhyme’s list, and he found great fulfillment in that as well. Sooner than he liked they would be closer to adults than his tiny newborns.

”You have no idea.” He should have been patrolling at that moment, but the view had been too much to pass up. Rhyme looked back to the stranger curiously, ”Rhyme Cavalier, alpha of Abaven and single father.” He chuckled at the load he had piled onto his plate. He wouldn’t have traded it for the world thuogh. He had a sense of real purpose leading next to Shaye, and knowing his kids were safe and thriving filled him with pide.
