At Leisure Lake the sun is always shining and only a few stray clouds roam the open sky; paradise is the one word that really describes it. This beautiful lake is clean and refreshing, the very best place to swim and fish. Pups are known to play here while older wolves watch at the side, engaged in their own activities.

I barely notice the other wolves around the lake. Most are probably hunkered down under some sort of shelter, whether it be a tree or bush or the waiting embrace of another. I choose to be out in the storm, letting the wind whip away my concerns and dreams and ambitions, letting the rain wash away my fears and doubts. I feel more clean than I have in weeks, breathing in and out, inhaling the sweet fragrance of a good strong storm. I don't know what will happen next though I'm aching to know. Will Akina go back to Titan or will she give me a chance? Will she be forever torn between us or has her heart already made up its mind? It tore me in two to see him looking at her on that warn torn pack border, but I fear that I might have lost my chance with her by running away. Maybe I did exactly what Miya did to me so many nights ago in the rain just like this. She rejected me, she ran. Will Akina take that as a sign that I've given up the fight, that I don't want her? Or will she feel relief that I won't stand between her and her first love? Her mind has always been a mystery to me. All too soon my peace is broken as I hear paws approaching. I don't dare to turn my head, letting my senses do the work instead. One ear flicks back to her as she walks up slowly behind me and I suddenly realize that I might be a frightful spectacle to behold. Dried blood now drains down my sides from the battle at Saw Tooth, my chin still stained crimson from the throats I ripped out mercilessly. Perhaps now I truly look the part of the monster inside. And yet never have I felt more dead to the world. She stops beside me and I wait for the words, curious already of their content. Will she berate me for standing out in the rain? Will she offer me shelter? Will her words be filled with fear because of the blood on my coat or will she turn out to be one of those heartless killers who takes joy in others' pain? I'll find out soon enough, I suppose. She starts to ask me a question but her words cut off. When she says my name, my head whips around, golden eyes staring into her own, wondering how she knows me. She pieces it all together though and her mother's name rips through me like a sharpened blade. I internally wince, letting the rain brush it off as a cold shudder. I am torn by the concern in her faze as she asks about her mother and I know that I can't leave her waiting, not on an answer like that. I shake my head slowly so as not to throw water on her. I start to answer but she starts shouting above the whipping wind, asking if I'd like to take shelter. She's curious and I can't keep such things a secret. I nod once and follow her lead back to the tree she chose, not daring to shake off once under its protective branches so I don't get her more wet than she already is. Sure that she's still wanting answers, I look at her. "Your mother's fine. We were attacked by a rogue pack of wolves but she held her own. She's....with your father." I close my eyes briefly as I internally wince, hoping like hell she didn't catch the pain in my voice on the last part. Once I can compose my features, I re-open my eyes and look at her, waiting for her reaction. Surely she'll be excited that Titan has returned. She'll want to go see him right away. I just hope she doesn't ask me to tag along. King Kong.male.adult.loved by none.father of none.no siblings.Gamma of Aurora Borealis |
