I keep trying, I don't know what for

Kane would not press Tamsyn to say anything until she was ready. He simply held his lover in his arms tight to his body, clutching her like the most precious treasure in the world and let her melt into him and just come undone. She would speak on her own time when she wanted. Crickets chirped around them in the stillness of the summer night, staving off total silence while Tamsyn just held onto him like her life depended on it and breathed him in. Kane's muzzle tipped down, drinking in Tam's natural spicy-sweet smell in turn. Gods, even though it had only been a few days, he'd missed her so much. He hadn't realized just how thoroughly she'd infiltrated every aspect of his life until she was gone. There was no chance of him turning and walking away from this—not now, not ever.

In due time, Tamsyn began to tell him what had occurred. At first, his brow pulled together in a confused furrow. Sirius, the wolf that had led the pack she was once in? What did he have to do with her being in a relationship with him? Why would he try to hurt her? Weren't they supposed to be close friends? As if reading his mind, Tamsyn launched into the full story, a much longer explanation of the oversimplified answer she had just given. Kane listened silently and pensively with ears perked on his head while he rested his chin protectively over Tam's head. With every sentence, the foggy picture began to get clearer and clearer, like grime being wiped away from glass. Tamsyn had crushed on Sirius, but Sirius was married. Tamsyn fell for Resin, left to found the Hallows and have a family. Sirius was not pleased with that, as it sounded like the wolf had a superiority complex of some kind along with temper issues and controlling behaviors. A dangerous combination... Kane's frown deepened.

The story took a turn for the worse as Tamsyn reached the decline of her mate and how Sirius had helped her and her family during that time. When Tamsyn told him about how she had gone to help him find his missing mate and son, only to fly into a rage when they discovered them deceased, and how he had harmed her in the process, Kane's arms instinctively wound tighter around Tam. He was doing his best to stay calm and keep his emotions in check, but the more she talked, the hotter Kane felt the anger in him burn for this otherwise unknown wolf. Who the fuck did this asshole think he was to go around abusing the wolves that loved him like that?! More specifically, how dare he raise a paw against his little blackbird. Some of his anger burned away when he heard how her son had mutilated the bastard to the brink of death, a dark smirk turning his frown upward. Good lad, protecting his mother like that.

Tamsyn told him about the night she had shared with him in the infirmary afterwards, and how they ended up falling out of bed and the resulting kiss that followed. Kane squared his jaw to prevent from gritting his teeth, his own possessive nature beginning to show itself, but He swallowed it back with a deep breath to steady himself. Tamsyn needed him to be stable for her right now, not flying off the handle. Besides, this all occurred before him; he couldn't let himself get upset over something that had already happened without him in her life. It did make him wonder though... what was it about those tiny infirmary beds that got wolves all riled up and horny? Just like a train wreck though, the story kept going and going. Sirius shot down her feelings, yet just like an emotionally manipulative fucker, he tried to use her for physical affection afterward. He was very proud of Tamsyn for turning him down instead and putting up boundaries between them. As he expects though, this Sirius guy didn't like that, and their relationship began to crumble.

Despite how bad the story had gotten, Kane grimaced as things only got worse. He looked down to meet her tired and sad eyes with love and angry protectiveness, disgusted by the wolf that would treat her this way. Tamsyn told him how they encountered each other at the festival, how he was detached and manic, calling her by his dead mate's name and accusing her of cheating on him. But then, when he had a moment of clarity, he attacked her emotionally, the same way it sounded like he always did to hurt her. This time, Kane couldn't stop his lips from curling back from his deadly saber fangs in a silent snarl. Who the fuck did he think he was to say those things?! Was Resin's body still warm when they fucked?! Ohhh, words would be shared between the two if he were to ever meet this sorry excuse of a man. He wasn't a wolf prone to violence towards others, it went against the very tenets of his beliefs, but for Sirius he might make an exception.

The fact that Tamsyn didn't know how to predict Sirius anymore didn't bode well. It sounded like the wolf had gone fully psychotic, unhinged and out of touch with reality. A mad wolf was a dangerous threat to everyone. It did concern him for Tamsyn's safety though. Sirius knew where she lived, knew how to get to her. If he truly wanted to hurt her, or worse... His eyes narrowed into lethal slits. He would never allow harm to come to his lover. As Tamsyn's long and torrid history with Sirius came to a close, Kane gave a deep sigh and shook his head slowly. It was so much to unpack, so much to consider, and it was far too late and she was far too tired to get started on that right now. Leaning closer, Kane planted a long, firm kiss on Tamsyn's forehead, still retaining his firm hold around her.

"C'mon, I'm taking you to bed. You look exhausted," he spoke in a low rumble directly against her ear. Without waiting for her response, Kane slowly untangled himself from his lover and slid his much larger form underneath hers, hoisting her up over his back as he stood like she weighed nothing. Casting a little rueful smile back to her over his shoulder, Kane began to carry Tamsyn across the plains and back towards the castle. Everyone else was still gone, and the courtyard and corridors were totally silent. He carried Tamsyn all the way up to his bedroom in the east wing, pushing open the door and kicking it closed behind him while he brought Tamsyn over to the sizable bed tucked in the corner of the room next to the only window, left open to allow the fresh summer air in.

With a huff, he tossed her gently onto the old mattress and dense pile of furs and blankets, grinning playfully while she got herself situated and comfortable before climbing up to join her on the bed. As had become their customary sleeping position, Kane settled in on his side next to Tamsyn, letting her snuggle up into his bigger frame and get comfortable. A gentle smile touched his lips while he gazed adoringly at her, using every ounce of his self control to not go find Sirius right now and pick a fight. No, Tamsyn needed him here for her, and she mattered infinitely more than some asshole in the north. "There we go, much more comfy," he whispered as he relaxed into the bed with her, reaching a paw forward to let her snuggle into him before surrounding her in his embrace again. "Oh, my little blackbird, you have such a loving heart... He never would have deserved it..."
