It was easy to say that the two belonged together but what made that evident was the journey that led their paths together. Hannibal had been battered and broken. A Wolf of many titles and riddled with horrific mistakes that would never be undone. Deathbelle was a younger generation of their family and a Wolfess no one had expected to take the Empire's reins. She had proven to be a prismatic leader with a strength built so deep within her that no tragedy nor heart ache could reach. Somehow along the way the two had found one another. A push from Io and the aligning of stars had blossomed what could be a new forever for the two.

Watching Belle wake caused a smile to slip across Hannibal's lips. Beaming purple eyes poured into his own pale optics causing his heart to flutter like no other. Heat welled within his chest as he took in her scent that was now mixed with his own. Her sweet greeting and a burning kiss caused him to lean into her slightly. An eager tongue ran across his own fangs as if a predator ready to catch his prey. Hannibal allowed his thoughts to be carried along by her next vocals which seemed to calm his lust and reel him back into a more level state of mind.

As he parted his lips to speak Deathbelle took Hannibal by complete surprise. First came his name and then the following three words that made his body swirl with electricity. Immediatly the beast spoke with husky tones, "I love you too Deathbelle." That haunting gaze never left her eyes as he spoke. But, after a moment Hannibal leaned in to kiss her cheek again. His breathing was heavy as he shut his eyes. Hannibal took in those moments and felt the best he had felt in a long while. "I never want this moment to end."
