A Long Time Coming but it's Bittersweet~

Aslatiel

"Aslatiel Fatalis"

Instantly she could see that her statement had caused Indigo pain, though he tried to hide it. His grip on her never faltered as he spoke and Asla brought one paw up to rest on his plum colored cheek. "He does love me, but I love you, Indigo Fatalis. Only you. I may lay with others, but it will be out of duty or for fun. You are the only one I'll come to for love." She couldn't stress it enough that Indigo was her everything. Some day she hoped that their situations would change and they could be together, but for now, it wasn't in the cards. She had responsibilities. A lot of wolves depended on her.

As Indigo began to talk about, not just one girl, but girls, plural... Asla lowered her gaze to his thickly furred chest and began slowly but rhythmically pulling her claws through his lower mane again. Was she jealous? You betcha. Could she do anything about it? Not a damn thing. It would be hypocritical of her to think otherwise. Indy spoke of attracting the broken. She could see that in him. He was so sweet and kind. He had so much love and caring to give. Asla forced a smile, the action pulling at the scars on her face. "Good luck with your girls and your band. If they hurt you, I'll kill them." She wasn't joking.

With a sigh, she pulled her brother closer, resting her head under his chin. "I thought this would make things easier but they're so much harder now." Now that she'd had Indigo, she wanted him over and over. In a different world, perhaps they could have been together and they could have saved themselves the mental anguish of all this sneaking around. They were damned to existence in this one, however. Chance meetings, secret getaways, stolen moments. That was their present and their future. "No matter what happens or who we're with, it will always be you." Yes, she was planning on having a litter to bolster the Fatalis ranks, but it was a means to an end. "You and I can't have pups, so Naiche is a means to an end. He treats me well and truly cares, so that makes it easier. I feel affection for him, but not love."

Asla squeezed the purple giant in her embrace and whispered softly, "Don't forget me when you're surrounded by beautiful women." She wasn't pretty anymore. Not with her face looking the way it did. There was always that fear that, eventually, Indigo might lose interest in her. She knew that he never would, but she simply had to relay her fears that she might be forgotten in leu of more attractive fare. Irrational fears, perhaps, but fears all the same.
