Hold Me Tight

The whole affair had taken a horrible turn. The initial challenge had been won, but challenges had been thrown left and right, turning into a huge mess of tension and anger. The slim, pale brute had never been meant to be a warrior and never in his life had he imagined that he would be caught in the fierce war that had broken out. He had done the best he could to help his pack mates with their wounds as they came, doing what he could with the supplies he had taken with him. Now he finally had the boarders of his home within sight, relief washing over him as he crossed into the shade of the trees and caught that familiar scent of the Valhallan territory. He had run ahead of the group so he could alert Erani and the other healers that the wounded were on their way back since he had stayed out of the fighting himself. He was exhausted, his eyes tired, the blood of others staining his paws from the general bloodshed of the affair. Before he did anything, however, there was one wolf in particular that he had to find. The lovely fea had kept him going, kept him focused. When he felt like he was going to be overwhelmed by the sense of death and destruction that hung around the battlefield, he thought about her beautiful blue gaze and he had the strength to push through. He yearned for her more than ever, wanting to see her lovely face and hear her gentle voice. His nose caught a whiff of her scent and his two-toned gaze darted around the area till he laid his eyes on her and he sighed with relief, a huge grin spreading across his face. He darted over to her, collapsing onto the ground in front of her and giving her gentle licks all over her cheeks and face. His tail wagged madly behind him and he smiled happily as he looked into her gorgeous eyes. "I missed you so very much, Imena," he said gently, nuzzling his muzzle into the fur along her neck, breathing in her scent. He felt at home again now that she was with him. It was like a missing piece had gotten put back into its place. He never wanted to leave her side again. He had never felt so strongly for anyone wolf before that wasn't his family. No, this feeling was even stronger than family. With family, there was a sense of duty, the feeling that one had to feel this way because they were family. This feeling, this emotion, was so pure and strong, this... this love. Yes, it was love, there was no denying it any more. He pulled back enough so that his gold and sapphire gaze could find her sky blue one again, speaking straight from his heart. "I've never felt so empty without someone before. The entire time I was away I thought about you and worried about you. I never want to be away from you again. You are my whole world, Imena... I love you. He fell silent, holding his breath anxiously. His whole heart was laid out in front of her, every truth and emotion at her feet. Cael waited to see if she would feel the same or if he would be turned away with his tail between his legs. Speech Thought Companion Others |
