The Future

Walk | Talk | Think

She was lost in thought, fighting with herself over whether her worries were valid or pointless. It was a never ending battle, each side only gaining so much ground before she would cave and reconsider the argument and start the whole process over again. By the time she caught the scent, the one that both calmed and excited her in the same breath, she felt her thoughts flee as her attention wholly fixed upon him, the tip of her tail making a few quick taps against the ground in expectation of him. Leon. It was strange how easily he could make everything better, just by the effect of his scent and nothing more. But this was no mere passing by of her mate, no, and she soon realized this when she heard the sound of his steps lead up to the den and quietly enter inside to join her.

Ashtoreth was still, two-toned eyes staring toward the back of the den with no view of Leon as he padded quietly over to her and stopped just behind where she lay. She held her breath, uncertainties of a moment ago rendering her indecisive enough not to react, to freeze and wait and hope that somehow he could fix it, everything that she felt was wrong. The kiss to her forehead drew closed her gold and purple eyes, her tense body relaxing a small bit as Leon lay down at her side, curling around her in that sweet, cuddling manner of his. The petite grey wolf melted into his touch, uncurling just enough so that her body pressed back against him.

But even after a moment it fell short. She turned, rolled, moved herself so that she faced him where she lay on her side, and immediately she pressed her face into the soft fur of his neck with a rough nuzzle. She struggled to think of what to say to him, but one thing did come easily and was given voice with the utmost ease. "I love you." Goodness, did she mean it. She really did hope he knew and understood his importance to her. But the tension her uncertainties were creating was suffocating, and resorting to her naturally odd humor Ash tried to lighten her own mood. "Erani sure knows how to throw a party," she stated with a nervous smile, hoping to hide the fact she had been worrying herself into a fit from her mate. Nothing had been broached yet, though simply being beside him was enough to make her question whether she could even stay away from him in order to prolong the coming of future generations. He was so perfect to her; could children from him truly be as scary as she thought?
