{ Angels are Bright Still }

He lent within my touch, his fur so black and dark like a sin so perfect and teasing as it pressed against my muzzle and nose. I knew him to be awake in this moment, though his eyes stayed closed and his throat purred a growl of pleasure as the points of my fangs grated his ear in jest and play. I had come to enjoy this sound as much as I had come to understand that it was I and only I that brought such pleasure to my mate. I chuckled again, the huff of air parting the darkness of his fur as my head brushed against him, blending snow and coal as I had done so many times since the day the sky fell all those years ago. So very much had changed and yet not all change had been for the worst. I had come to love Kane above all things. The imprint bond was strong and solid and always within myself, humming and simmering with the life of Finley and yet that which I held with Kane, so different and unique, was a thing just as powerful. I understand what it is that would drive a male to die for his mate, that would send a female against any odds to protect he who she loves. It is a force and power so unparalleled and incomparable that it consumes my entirety. I do not live for myself. I live for Kane and for those I love alongside him. Each day I seek to make him smile, I seek to bring him pleasure in some way because he is keeper of my heart. I understand why Heyel cries in the dark when he believes us all to be sleeping. Because the wound of a missing mate will never heal and on those nights I curl myself even tighter against Kane, so thankful, so filed with prayer or the Angels above and for my Mother, who brought me Kane threw fire and ash that night. To lose ones mate is an incomparable pain, one I see each day within my Father and yet one I cannot comprehend. Just to think of such a thing, such a loss is to have my heart ache with sickness.

I had believed him gone once before. I would never suffer that pain again. I would protect and love Kane until the sky fell once more, nothing less would take me from his side. He was my shadow, my partner and the King I would have beside me when the time came for us to take what our Mothers and Fathers had held so proudly and for so long. His chuckle was light, though deeper then my own feminine tones as his eyes of sky and sun opened slowly once more. I had loved those eyes for as long as I could remember, since the day I had found him with droplets of water in his fur that sparkled and I had twirled about him, announcing my love of pretty things. I had grown since then however, I was no longer a girl who twirled about on invisible wings. I was a women grown and I had even come to understand that I had spent three years of my life calling my lover �pretty� instead of handsome. One day I would make up for such a transgression as that. He had never corrected me though, in all our childhood he had never once told me not to call him a word so feminine and indeed that was what made him so very much my own and so very much the boy, no, the man, that he was.

�Because I am female and female may say all she wishes and boy can do nothing but follow, helplessly enraptured with women�s beauty. Is this not true my Kane?�

I chuckled lightly once more before spinning away, head held high beneath the canopy of sun as it bathed my pelt in light and lit Kane�s own to a dark glory I found so mysterious and alluring as my violet gaze lingered upon him. He shook himself, stretching free the kinks and knots of his muscles as he stood and came to my side. How tall he had grown, so very much like Devil himself and yet far more handsome to my mind. Devil did not have such lovely eyes, Devil could not run and hunt with the youth and beauty of my mate. We would do great things, forever it had been my destiny to surpass my sire. I wished to live within his shadow no longer and soon, so soon the time would come for me to carve my own name and place in this life. I would be remembered as more than a daughter of the Angel King and for each step I strode upon this new path- I would have my Kane beside me. He nuzzled at my cheek, tugging at my ear as I growled in play, muzzle twisting up to snap at his own nose, one paw raising to swat at his side with youthful ease before I settled in comfortable stride beside his own. I was also rather pleased to announce that I had at last, grown into my paws.

�There is much that must be done this day my Kane. Very much. I wish to explore further than before, I wish to meet many others and I wish to search for a place that perhaps we will call our own when the time is right a place to make our Kingdom- but first, there are things we must be speaking of.�

Violet eyes so bright and alive met his own as I grinned, near prancing beside him for all the youthful joy and love of life I had come to appreciate and covet. With each stride I slide against him, brushing smoothly against his hard and toned form, each step a symbol, a sign to any who looked upon us that Kane was my own, only for me and that we walked as equals in this life. I glanced towards him once more, feeling a shyness within myself and yet feeling such questions taint my tongue with their eagerness to be spoken. There were matters within my mind this day, many of them and yet one had become a potent thing in these passing years, one I had come to notice when the chill takes the air and yet one I had refused this past season. The time had not been right, the moment had not been safe and never would I do something so unwise nor selfish. I had not been ready for such things and yet, such thoughts had begun to change, to linger within my mind and though I had not come to decide, though I had not considered it to deeply in this moment I wished to ask, to understood what it was my mate would seek form this life that lay so beautifully before us.

�My Kane, when the time is right and when we find ourselves within a home once more, a place that is being safe and I am being ready......will you want small ones? Will you want pups all our own? I have been thinking of this thing of late. It has been within my mind and so I must ask you if it too, has been within yours?�
