When I'm all choked up, but you're okay

She was so involved in her thoughts that she hadn't truly seen the dark mass of a wolf come up to the lake. It was something she was made terribly aware of when he spoke and she nearly leapt out of her skin. What's the matter, little dove? What a loaded question. What wasn't the matter? She was pregnant, moody, and had expected to be fawned over by the object of her desires. With a hefty sigh, Dea gave the seemingly concerned wolf a small smile, unsure of how to answer him. Her melancholy was deep rooted, but she could at least share one of her concerns with him. "I have never been a pack wolf. I am here because of a promise I made to the wolf I follow...I am unsure about how the dynamics work." In short, she was nervous and lost. "I am saddened by something that should come naturally to a wolf, but...I have always been alone."

She felt as though she would always be alone. The thought tore her up inside and she felt more tears well up in her rosey gaze, though she blinked them away. It felt better to have someone to speak with, even if it wasn't the whole truth and she didn't know the wolf at all. "The name is Dea, by the way. I followed Archon here, but I am not sure of the path ahead of me." She gave the information freely, there was no need to hide it. Dea was here, and she would remain here if she had to. Small bumps appeared along her stomach, pups pushing against her sides as she spoke. They seemed to enjoy the deceptive sweetness of her voice, making her look at her sides as they moved within her. "He is their father, but I have not seen as much of him since my arrival." She seemed confused in that moment, not quite sure why she felt compelled to tell this male her secrets. Dea was being overly dramatic, but was unsure of why. Perhaps hormones were getting in the way, or it could have been insecurity about not understanding the ways of pack wolves. She had wanted to cling to Archon as if he were her last breath, adjusting to this new life wasn't easy.

Pregnancy hormones would be the death of her, she was sure of it. Luckily, her time would come soon, and she could gain some semblance of normal again.
