Baby don't break my heart

He stopped when she did, his milky gaze shifting her direction. His posture was relaxed, as though he was expecting her rage. He would be a fool not to. Her nickname rolled off his tongue as he opened himself up to an attack. No, that would be too easy. "You have no right to call me that." Words hissed from between clenched jaws. She had been through far to much to be dealing with this now. His body curled away from her, as though he was preparing to leave. But she wasn't done with him, he wasn't going to get away with all this heartache that easily. "I won't strike you, brother, I'll leave that to your wife." She carefully annunciated key words, each syllable dripping toxicity. He didn't deserve such titles. She would stalk closer, careful to press her paws nearly silently into the ground, in hopes of making it harder for him to pinpoint her. She didn't stop until only a foot or so stood between them. She stood to his right, nearly perpendicular with his neck. "What do you want?" Her heart thundered in her chest, her body trembled with unspoken emotion. Her vision blurred with unshed tears, of which she was happy her brother couldn't see. Walls carefully went up around her. While she longed to have him back in her life, she wasn't sure she would be able to handle him leaving again. The pain she felt after he vanished was nearly insurmountable. And now here he was, strolling so easily back into her life. Did he honestly think it would be so easy?
There was so much she wished to tell him. She had children of her own, a pack, and a mate. Falk had a mate too, and their own children just a few weeks younger than hers. His children had all flourished, growing into young adults. And Maija..... Well she wasn't sure how to bring up the golden woman who had found another and now they had children of their own. But he didn't deserve to know. Not yet at least. "" |
