A Promise Fulfilled

Indigo was already snuggled up in the cave, warming the bed of furs before Aslatiel returned from her late patrol. Indigo had taken more of the healer’s position in Elysium while she took her oath as full warrior. Not that Indigo would stand up to fight were his pack attacked, that was what he had originally signed up for. As much as he was here to help Manea’s pack, he was realizing that Elysium was helping him. Having a purpose, a schedule, and orders to follow helped to realign him and his priorities. Meeting the wolves here, especially the youngest of his alpha’s children, cemented the desire to rebuild himself.

The maned man was tired after a long day working, but it was good for him. Keeping his paws busy and his mind similarly helped him in his recovery. Asla had been the catalyst though, reminding him that he was living in the past. If he wanted to move forward, he needed to move forward with himself. What was done was done, his wallowing helped nothing. To the contrary, he was killing himself over it.

Aslatiel had shown him the light, and since that day he was doing better everyday after. Maybe by a small amount each day, but there was progress. He had to be stronger for himself but especially for the beautiful woman in front of him. Asla ducked into the cave, chilled from the winter weather outside. Indigo grinned at her appearance and welcomed her to the warmth he would provide her. Today and every day for the rest of their lives.

She nuzzled in against him, making it so he couldn’t wrap his arm around her as she laid on it. Indy managed to be content nuzzling into her soft fawn fur. He had noticed the change of her scent, the shift in the structure of her body, but he hadn’t let himself hope yet. Part of him already suspected what her news would be as she told him softly that she had news for him. He pushed his nose into her soft fur and pulled in a deep breath, closing his eyes as she bewitched him. "Do you?" Indigo murmured, barely containing the grin that spread over his features.

"Asla" -- "Indy"
