These Lands Are Our Lands (p2)

He could see that by his proposal she was growing excited. It was an interesting thought, often him and his sisters would sing together. They were the musical litter after all. It would be fun to try it with another, to see if his voice matched with anyone else other than his dear sisters. He could almost imagine their two voices colliding into one. What beautiful music that two of them could make if they only tried.

Her soft spoken words were hardly heard, the brute watched her very closely as she stood and walked over to him. His head turned to follow her, his golden eyes carefully trained on her. A soft shiver ran through his body, a strange feeling indeed for the brute. His body was reacting before his mind caught up with it, a single paw lifting up to rest on top of her own as she settled beside him. Her tail draped over his neck, and his body wanted to turn around and lock his jaws into the soft appendage. It was starling him, how his body was moving for him before he could make heads or tails of the situation. As quickly as his paw rested on her own, he removed it and cleared his throat. A warm glow shone under his ivory cheeks as his head spun, this whole situation was strange to him. He just thought that they were joking and teasing, but he realized now that she had more of an interest in him than 'just friends' and was rather unsure of how to handle it all. It was easier for him when they were teasing each other.

His golden gaze rested on her minty ones, trying to compel the strange feelings that welled within him. She asked what made him want to be king and he focused on her words, rolling it around in his mind to try and distract his bodies initial reaction. "I've always wanted to help others, to teach them and to help allow them grow. I want to be able to set up a safe environment for wolves to grow and to be able to not only provide for a pack of my own, but to supply other packs as well." He shrugged his pale shoulders, licking his chest to try and hide his embarrassment and confusion of this whole situation.
