to know so little, to feel so much

Erani winced internally at the reaction her sudden appearance in front of the young wolf got from him. He flinched backward, dropping to his belly like a pile of rocks, cowering onto his back and apologizing profusely. The remainder of her stern expression melted away, tail lowering to it?s customary place, hanging relaxed between her hocks, head lowering comfortably low as she took him in again. She hadn?t missed his sweep of the bushes and surroundings. Expecting an ambush? In another pack, that could be a possibility. But she herself wasn?t one to ambush someone who looked too thin and weak to fight. Plus, he had given no reason whatsoever to warrant an attack on him. He gave his name, and her head cocked slightly as he called her ?great lady?, a faint smile gracing her lips. ?Rise, young Tyr. I am Erani Adravendi, Alpha Primary of Valhalla.? Her voice was gentle, a warm caress, not unlike the croon of a mother to her child. It was the voice she had used to soothe her children, and Cairo?s children during anything scary, to reassure them that there was light at the end of the dark path of a nightmare, and that the thunder wouldn?t harm them. Looking at his thin frame, at the ribs that jutted out so painfully, she had to ask. ?When was the last meal you had, young one?? |
