A touchstone wife

Zee had been moping since returning from the cave that stole away her horns, and barely lifted her head at the sound of paws outside her den. Sirius' voice rang out along with the smell of fresh seafood and she let out a low grumble of argument before lazily getting to her paws. She supposed she still had duties to attend to, an alpha couldn't mope forever.

Her head hung down between her shoulders as she crossed the den, though she lifted it took look him in the eye as she stepped out of the mouth towards him. Her head felt too light, like she was missing something she'd had there all her life. It was hard to believe it had barely been a year or two since she gained the mutation. "Yes love, what is it?" She kept the sadness from her voice, moving up to nuzzle under his chin - something she hadn't been able to do comfortably since they'd first met and she was hornless.
