I ask for your heart and soul

Alpine would silence himself and watch Erani as she responded to his words. Her face held warmth and light, that love she seemed to share with all the wolves that resided within her pack. A sense of relief washed over him as she gladly allowed him to teach the pup. He would have hated the idea of looking the enthusiastic Erion in the eye and telling him there were other plans for his future and other people to instruct him in the art of fighting. The warmth flooded into a broad smile across Alpine?s own more, already imaging how he would call Erion and work out their training with the younger wolf. He would not let him slack, but nor could he imagine the other wanting to ? he had enjoyed the little bout they had had too much, Alpine thought.


?Thank you, for telling me who his parents are ? and yes, he did indeed say that? Alpine?s last words where a smile, but his first where more sincere, it was good to know who the guardians where of the pup, and wanted also to meet them, to organise also with them and around their own training schedules, one for Erion.


The setting grew more solemn and her icy eyes where upon him until he felt he might melt into a muddy little puddle at the bottom of her paws. He began to relax a little a little as her words seemed to hold acceptance and blessing, so long as Lyric herself was willing. The smile that had begun to form died upon his lips as she rose before him, her eyes as cold as ice and her claws scrapping against the earth as her head was brought eye-to-eye with his. And she threatened him every big as terribly as a protective father. He gulped, his eyes sourcer-wide as they looked into his Alphas. There where definitely down points that she was a princess, and that was the terror Erani held inside, a special, terrible place in her heart just for him.


Her voice had grown calm again and he wondered if he was only in the eye of the storm, as he forced himself to keep eye contact with Erani.
?If I fail her, then I deserve every bit of pain that you deal upon me.?
He promised her softly
?I would not be anyone I would care to be if I betray her I understand, my queen?
His voice was still so very, very soft, almost raw as he spoke.
