It was impossible to look away from that platinum gaze of his as he spoke. Every word he said stole her breath away and she stood there in silence as she took in every word. Alena didn't move as he came closer to her, placing a lick on her cheek and brushing against her. She closed her eyes, unable to resist savoring the feeling of his touch. It felt like she had been alone for ages and now Dempsey was finally here with her again. Tears rolled down her cheeks, darkening her fur, as she gave in and pressed her face into his neck, nuzzling into his fur. Her whole body shook gently from the rush of emotions that overtook her and all of it made it impossible for her to have a coherent thought.

She wasn't supposed to feel like this. She had trained herself for years to not feel anything, much less pain and love. Her children had chipped away at that wall she had built around herself and Dempsey completely tore it down with a few sweet words. She sank to her haunches as she breathed in his scent, refusing to let her head move from his neck. She felt so fragile, so open, she didn't know what to do with herself.

"Dempsey... Dempsey, I love you too. Wolves have walked in and out of my life more times than I can count, but when I came back and you weren't here... I was terrified. I was so, so scared of being alone, of not having you by my side any more. Of my pups depending on me to take care of them... I was afraid I would let them down without you."

She finally lifted her head from his neck to look into his eyes, her violet gaze searching his desperately. She knew above all else she had to be honest with him. No more games, no more mind tricks. Just honesty. And that alone was the strangest thing Alena felt like she had ever done. "I was scared too, Dempsey, because I knew without you... without you I would stop feeling again. I just be an empty shell. When I'm with you I feel alive."

She brushed her muzzle against his, whispering, "I'll always be yours, Dempsey..."
