Come Wake Me Up

Time had passed slowly since the day Taurig lost two important parts of his physical being. Not having the ability to carry on his legacy with more litters was not a big problem for the Re, but the lack of light and permanent resident of darkness for his vision had brought depression to their den for the first few days. Maija had been the stronger one during those dark times (forgive the pun) and she stood by his side, day and night. Words of encouragement, positive outlooks, and knowing that it was only a rough patch in the road left the female's lips with the Romanian twist. Her beliefs for their future - as well as Tortuga's - came to light as Taurig fought through his depression and realized that life was not over because of the backward steps. There was a reason Maija was his Queen: she was supportive of her mate and the good of their pack was one of her top priorities. It was why that morning the meeting would take place. Maija had talked with Taurig about the plans he wanted to propose to their pack mates and she had agreed with him that it would be best to tell them sooner rather than later. His words, gentle in her ear, woke her up and she started to stir as he pulled himself up to all fours. Golden frame, now supporting the babies that were steadily growing inside of her, rose and shook all over to rid itself of the matted fur that had formed from fitting perfectly against her Re. After blinking a few times and yawning widely, Maija looked awake and ready for the day. She watched Taurig as he carefully made his way out of the den to the clearing below. Of course, the golden vixen didn't hesitate to follow beside him, craving his warmth in the brisk morning air. Eyes hardened to keep her thoughts and personal opinions private as Taurig's howl escaped his lips to vibrate in the crisp atmosphere. A smile appeared on her lips as she gently swept her gold banner against his own, fur touching fur, creating a static feeling between them. "I cannot wait to see them come, my love," she softly said, tones rich with her Romanian heritage and warmth for her mate. "Their existence as our pack as meant more to me than I ever thought they would...even though they may not be aware I exist." It was a playful banter, but she didn't show too much more warmth as scents of their pack mates began to hit the air around them. speech here |
