Red Roses

He was relaxed in her presence and despite her fluttery nerves Poem felt at ease in his presence. He was a huge wolf, even taller than she was, but it was easy to be in his presence. As she spoke of her time away from him like she’d known him her whole life she could see the tension return to his limbs and his dark hackles rise along his back. Her words elicited many emotions in him and the roller coaster was obvious on his handsome features. The subtle revelation of his feelings brought butterflies to her belly, he cared enough about her the events of her life affected him. Her dark ears pulled to her head in humble appreciation.

She sunk into herself slightly at his concern, in truth she had been treated well in the Armada. She was no slave and had even climbed to one of the Warlord’s highest ranks. He’d sought to make her his heir for a short time. Poem would be forever loyal to her pack though, she could never see herself being able to commit to the task. She wasn’t able to answer his question before he dismissed his words. The young Destruction had made a deal with Sirius, she would never have allowed her family in Abaven to interfere. Had she asked it of them she knew the whole pack would have come to her aid.

Dominus went on, causing a shiver to run down the girl’s spine as he stepped closer. She could feel his breath and his closeness created an obvious electrical current between them. She tried to ignore how close he was and the emotion in his expressive blue eyes. His passion was palpable as he complimented her and didn’t hold back. Her heart skipped a beat and her cheeks flushed again, but he couldn’t keep the topic from her time in the Armada.

”He’s the alpha of the Ashen Armada.” She answered him softly, still very much aware of how close he was. ”Don’t blame them though,” she pleaded in quiet tones. ”I made a deal with Sirius, I couldn’t go back on my word. My family would have come for me without hesitation if I let them.” Hesitantly she scooted closer to his dark frame trying to soothe the anger she saw in him. The anger he harbored for her. No one beyond her family had shown so much concern for her. Sirius had cared for her, she could see it even if she couldn’t understand it, but the passion that Dominus showed warmed her whole body.

”You really worried about me didn’t you?” She whispered as her blue and lavender eyes met his bright sapphire gaze. Even though he had no ties to her he had sought her out and worried about her well being. Poem suddenly felt humbled but special at the same time. It was an odd feeling that she could easily admit was enjoyable. Being beside him, so close, elicited many emotions but none of them were unpleasant. She suddenly felt very shy though, like she didn’t deserve such concern. ”I…” Her heart fluttered unexpectedly again. She smiled up at him as her bright eyes fluttered under heavy lashes. ”That means a lot to me.”
