In this together

Plague had timed his question to her nearly perfectly as only days after her commitment to him her body descended into a heat cycle. She was fertile, and physically ready to follow through with her commitment. Her mental ability took a few more days to catch up. She felt the primal desire deep within, but her mind was hesitant and she felt scared about the events to come. There had only been one wolf she had loved, and that woman had sacrificed herself for her. For her freedom so she might not have to live as a slave. For a long time Rava had been on her own, loving no one but herself, but here she was with her savior, finding her heart growing with affection for Plague and his husband.

He brought her into their bedroom, and at first Rava slept at the foot of their bed, but every day she got more and more comfortable laying against Plague and Void in the night. She grew used to their comforting presence and began to crave their gentle touches. Finally she felt prepared for the next step in fulfilling her vow. Being in Plague’s embrace was pleasant, and she felt safe snuggled in between both his massive form and Void’s. She hadn’t felt more loved or protected in her life, she felt like her life meant something for the very first time.

She finally removed her cloak, her safety blanket removed as she allowed Plague to become her sense of security. He pulled her tightly to him, and when this would have once caused her to shut down and retreat brought an excitement into her chest. An eagerness that had her skin tingling with electricity. He brushed his paw against her cheek affectionately, letting her know this was all about her, if she ever became uncomfortable all she needed to do was tell them to stop.

Rava nodded slightly and then he kissed the top of her head. She buried her features into his chest as his attention lifted to Void at her back. She was wary about what to expect, she had been used before, but this closeness couldn’t have been more different from the men that had deemed her no more than an object. She had value and her decision and opinion mattered to the wolves that held her now.
