Be Home By Dusk

She could not help the small amount of joy that spread out across her chest at Killian's words. So he was looking forward to it too.. that was relieving. Now Odette didn't have to feel so strange about being so excited. She offered a small smile to the male, but then the alpha approached and the air around the trio changed. Odette watched the exchange between the two males, silent and hopeful, letting her eyes dance between the pair of them. Both were extremely tall males, both had warrior training, both could, in Odette's mind, have no problem taking down plenty of prey. Then there was Odette; a small, quiet, huntress wannabe who hangs out with her birds and her cat alone by her den. A small part of her wondered what she was even doing here? Who was she to hunt for the pack when the other members were so obviously more capable than her.

After Killian's proposal rang out into the air, Odette would glance up slowly towards the Warlord, curious to see what he thought of the idea. It was a feebly attempt, she knew, for the Alpha had never been one to show his emotions plainly on his face. The male seemed as thoughtful and calculating as ever, which made her heart speed up even more so. Was he mad that they asked? Was he happy to see them? What would be his answer? Odette could barely stand the wait, her heart beating wildly against her rib cage and her breath held tight in her throat. If she was to wait any longer, surely she would pass out!

To hear Sirius's voice at long last, and to have the permission to go beyond the borders with Killian as her guardian, it was almost as if she had been brought to the surface after an hour of drowning. The joy that swelling from her heart was contagious, spreading to her legs that practically pranced on the spot, and her face lit up with happiness; a smile spread from corner to corner of her lips. As the Alpha turned to her, to ask if she was comfortable with the arrangement, she all but leaped into the air at the warlord. "Are you kidding? This is the best day ever!" She cheered, leaping towards the Warlord in an attempt to wrap her chin around his shoulder in a sort of hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She would call out before jumping back towards Killian, her blue orbs sparkling with so much hope and joy. "We can go hunting! Can you believe it?" She would ask, almost to ensure someone else had bared witness, to make sure it wasn't a dream.
