not so typical annoying little brother

Venom settled into his arms and Chimera didn't let go. He was content to hold the woman for as long as she needed and, after being rejected by her former husband, he imagined that she did indeed need it. He kept the smaller wolf pressed against him, curling his head over her own, encasing her within his protective embrace. They were never like this. In fact, he still held scars beneath his fur from their fight for dominance so long ago. He had changed, however. With the building of his family, it had made the brute more accepting, protective and loving of the family that he had. Venom was part of that family and so he would provide her with the same comfort that he might if Siren, Aliana or Dalila were upset.

As the woman agreed, moving on to say that she would indeed heal in time, Chimera gave a gritty chuckle. "I know you will," he agreed with his sister. "We share the same blood," he reminded her again, "And I know you're strong. Take this experience, wrap it tightly around you like a second skin, and never let anyone do this to you again." He gave the woman a gentle, light hearted shake.

"You should come with me to visit the new alpha of Elysium," the man suggested, pulling back a bit to look down into his sister's sunset gaze. "I plan to bring my son, Cerberus. Perhaps you would bring one of yours so that he has company on the journey." Still sitting on his haunches with his powerful forelegs draped about the woman's shoulders, he continued. "Elysium would make a powerful northern ally for both of us, I believe. What do you think? Have you had dealings with Manea?" Mismatched ears shifted forward as he asked his sister's opinion.
