NEVER MEANT TO BE SO COLD

Well. Maybe she was wrong; he wasn't in his den. Her body sagged in a mixture of disappointment and relief. She could approach another day. She didn't have to do it now. Never mind the fact she didn't know if she would even have the courage to approach another day. Closing her eyes for a brief moment to calm her nerves, she turned to go when a strong and very familiar scent made her jump and spin around.

Mira stood silently for a moment, barely resisting the urge to gape as she blinked at her alpha. Okay, maybe she was wrong about being wrong. Or would that be twice wrong since the alpha wasn't in his den. Or would it be one wrong and one right? Blinking again, she shook her head to clear it. Now wasn't the time to question what was right and wrong... at least, not about something so trivial. Her yellow eyes darted back to Bass, for they had drifted away from him while she thought. Then her gaze dropped; she was not able to look him in the eye. she heard him move, wet paws slapping on the stone. His voice reached her ears, and his words made her wince, ashamed. and fearful, because of the flat voice. She thought he was angry - very very angry, since his voice was devoid of all emotion.

"I..." she began to speak, before trailing off. Her voice was incredibly soft, so quiet and holding a tone of insecurity. she didn't know what to say, how to explain, really. She had a reason; or rather, an excuse. Not a good one though. So she started with the basics. Her base purpose for approaching him today. Which was originally to give her excuse, but as she faced the bigger male she found it was really a different reason all together; to apologize. "I...came to say I'm sorry," she finally managed, staring at the ground with her tail low and ears slightly flattened with shame. She almost winced at herself; how pitiful she sounded! Her words themselves were also completely a joke - she disappears for a long time, and all she offers is an apology? She felt dirty, disgusting, but she didn't know what else she could say. A whimper threatened to sound from her throat but she held it down, instead waiting anxiously for Bass's response.
