the reason is you

All the way back to her new home, Aliana kept up hushed conversation with Dalila. It felt nice to have someone to talk to who wouldn't slap you in the face or pound on the bars of her cell and yell to shut up. Dalila felt like a kindred spirit, someone to relate to. She had never had a friend before, but this felt... nice. It helped ease her nerves at the very least, especially as they drew closer to their final destination. Crossing the floating bridge to an island, Ali allowed herself the liberty to examine her surroundings, from the trees and sandy beach to the salty sea air that cooled and rippled gently around the island. It was quite a tranquil location, far beyond what she would have been able to imagine in captivity. The tiny woman hadn't spoken a word to her beyond their initial conversation when they'd left the slavers' camp, and Aliana was left wondering if she had done something to warrant the girl's cold and distant attitude, or if she was simply trying to keep herself at bay since she would be given up to the girl's brother.
The three faes walked in silence along the beach until they found another wolf lying on the sand, his black toes dipped in the gently lapping surf. Ali felt her eyes go wide as they came to rest on him. He was an absolutely tremendous wolf, easily almost twice her size. His starkly contrasting coat of jet black and pristine white with slate gray stripes helped him stand out against the pale sand and blue water. The tiny lady walked right up to him, addressing him by name. This was her brother, her new master. Chimera, she had called him. Aliana made sure to repeat the name in her head several times to commit it to memory. Already she was trying to remember the rules Dalila had told her about Chimera, what he liked and what he hated.
Much to her surprise, the giant brute didn't speak right away, instead scooping up his sister to pull her into an embrace against his body while he began tending to her paws in much the same manner he was doing with himself. Ali blinked in surprise, then peered over to Dalila with confusion in her aquamarine gaze. The way she had described Chimera was nothing like what she was seeing now. He was gruff and terse with his sister, but also shockingly gentle and caring. Aliana watched him from where the two slaves had been left to wait, remaining where she was while allowing the siblings to share their moment. At some point Chimera had turned his gaze toward her, and the brute's contrasting gaze of sightless white and albino pink moved over her with short regard. Something about that hard stare had put a thrill of panic in her heart, as if she could feel the overwhelming domineering presence he commanded over her. In that moment there would be no doubts. This was his island, and she was to be his property.
Ever obedient, Aliana waited off to the side with Dalila, waiting to either be called forward or dismissed, or for Chimera to make his inevitable approach towards her.
As her mate, Chimera may enter any thread Aliana is in.
