I got this feeling that I can't go back

Neither wolf had specifically mentioned not getting pregnant to this point, but neither really seemed worried either. Iroh was content enjoying his mate and the incredible life she was building with him. They would have their family in time, for now it was just him and her. He had more than he ever expected to. Iroh hadn’t grown up in a happy loving family, he had no idea who his father really was and his mother had been older and distant while he was growing up. He didn’t have great role models beyond Malleus, but even his mate was gone before Iroh could remember. In any of his future plans he’d never imagined having a woman like Elise.

He could tell she was restless, but they all were with the extended winter. If he could Iroh would have warmed the earth for her, but how power was not that incredible. She would have to do with his warmth, and she didn’t resist his grasp. Elise melted against him, and combined with the fire’s glow and warmth the chill was fought off. He wrapped his arm around her and held her close as she spoke softly, Iroh rumbled in agreement, pulling her closer as they fell into an easy silence.

Eventually Elise stirred and Iroh brought his blue and lavender gaze down to search her features as bright sapphire eyes looked up to him. ”Of course, anything.” He told her softly, preferring she come to him anyway. That way he could keep an eye on her and know it wasn’t someone else pulling punches. ”I’ll do whatever I can. I want you to feel at home.” He reminded her and kissed her nose lovingly. ”We can start with patrolling tomorrow. There’s a great little training clearing along the border.” He told her as he stole another kiss off her nose.
