Yup this is totally a daydream

Rhyme easily agreed to let her den close to his own den but separately. That was a small relief. Though there was still the matter of the would be rapist ox had saved her from. She was certain it had been on of the master’s, but then Rhyme said they were no more. How could he be so sure? How did he know that some didn’t escape him? That there wasn’t a few trying to rebuild what had been?

Her ears pressed. She didn’t want to doubt him but she couldn’t help it. She had seen the fiend, had been almost dragged away by him. If it wasn’t for Ox, she very well might of been. She could of been forced into that life once more. There were few wolves she trusted in life fully, but she felt like she could trust Ox just like she did Rhyme. Even if he had taken from her the way he did, he at least hadn’t been so horrible.

Rhyme tried to reassure her that no master would make it past the borders and she tried to relax against his shoulder and accept that. The thought still scared her though. That if these lives did indeed exist within her, that someone might one day rip her children from her as she birthed them. There would be nothing she would be able to do either. ”Do you think…. I should find him and tell him about them? He deserves to know doesn’t he?” She had at least stopped crying now and her head just laid against her giant brother’s shoulder. She still didn’t want to force the responsibility on Ox but she wanted to at least give him the option to be there if he wanted.
