In the Name of the Warrior

Heloise was not so heavily pregnant that she could not move around easily still. until she was fit to burst, she would continue to do her duties as a knight of Winterfell. the call came easily and she easily answered it with her presence. no way she was missing this. it was both important to herself and to Acere. she wanted to be there to support him and his pack. their packmates. the people she had come to respect and think of as a family. wandering to the ceremony, she saw her mate's proud eyes fall on the ones in attendance. she gave him a warm smile as his crimson gaze fell on her but made no move to interrupt the ceremony just to press herself to his side.

the wedding to come... her eyes shut, relishing those words. it was no secret anymore the two were a mated pair, and with Tyranis' proposal to Paradise also, Heloise wondered if she would be attending not just her own wedding soon. she only hoped for the approval of the rest of Winterfell; her and Acere had known each other for two whole seasons. it felt like a lifetime. he had given her so much and there would be equal giving by the time their children were born. but for now, she was just a knight like any other. opening her eyes, she'd flit her gaze over the others in attendance before focusing back on their king. she gave him an encouraging nod but said nothing. she would wait, same as the others.
