awkward talk

The relief from Zee wasn’t missed by the Empress as her dear friend welcomed her touch. She returned her confession of adoration easily and Belle’s dark lips pulled back in contentment. Deathbelle was content in her retraction, and Zee’s words made her even more sure. They were friends, close as sisters, and that was where their relationship would remain. The Klein goddess loved Zee and Seer both, but she had to be content with their familial love. ”Then your sister I will be.”

Their relationship changed greatly over the last almost year that Ashen remained standing. From gifted slave, to ruling Queen Deathbelle was glad to be part of Zee’s journey. Lilac eyes rested lovingly on the blue tinted woman’s form as she stepped back and offered teasing words. How much did Zee know about her affair with the dainty Iolaire?

”Yes,” Belle started bashfully, her dark cheeks suddenly flushing. ”She’s helped me to be stronger and to better cope with my circumstances.” And completely forget about them on more than one occasion. Iolaire had been exactly what she needed, and though their intimate relationship wouldn’t last she clung to the knowledge that the silver marked healer would always be there for her. Like Sirius and Zee. ”Iolaire is a very special wolf.” She offered quietly but with a tinge of loss, knowing she couldn’t claim the healer as her own any longer.
