kiss with a fist

Quote:

The big male was like a monolith himself, a large black form that detached itself from the shadows of the trees to approach her. His status as an Alpha was obvious in his very presence, and Viseria felt her own body react instinctively; head lowered slightly, ears flicked back, eyes shifting away from his face so as not to directly meet his gaze and be taken for a challenge. She couldn't help but notice the brilliance of his eyes -- such startling amethyst against a sea of ebony. She'd never encountered an Alpha male before, as the matriarch Lilith had not allowed any male near her. Viseria found herself hesitating before she responded, simply because she had no idea what to expect from this creature before her. There was no fear in her pause, no nervousness in the way her eyes slid like liquid over his face, never lingering long enough to be considered insolent. No, she was not afraid. Wary, perhaps, and quite aware of her status as a rogue. The only rogues she'd ever met had been torn apart for trespassing, and the she-wolf was quite determined that the same fate not befall her.

"Oh, you know, just sniffing about. I'm new to these parts, had no idea there was a pack here until your borders slapped me in the face." She offered Kaios a wry grin, tongue lolling briefly as though she found amusement in her own absentmindedness. See? No threat, here! Just your everyday rogue skulking about the shadows. "Name's Viseria. I mean no harm to you or yours." She didn't think to ask about the pack -- Lilith had been a territorial bitch, unwilling to allow rogues into her ranks unless she sought out them. Viseria could only assume that this was a universal attitude -- better safe than sorry, mmm?
