A wide river dominates this section of the forest. Romance is in the air, and wolves of all ages come to search for their mate.

True beauty is something that attacks, overpowers, robs, and finally destroys. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ The ess started eating her fish, half of the meal that Akuji had caught just moments before. She eats slowly, daintily, gracefully. The maned brute pauses, watching her consume the flesh for a few seconds before beginning to eat himself. He isn’t particularly hungry, being almost disgusted with himself. He is cheating on his feelings for his Queen by even thinking of the plan, of the plot that he will prosecute. He is cheating on her just as his previous royal “mate” had cheated on him after stealing away his heart. The only difference is that he is the one who is in love with her, and she is the one who does not love him. The roles were only halfway reversed in this situation… and it made Akuji feel all the more terrible. Was he to become the protégée of his brother, Harries? A womanizer, a thief of virginity, a stealer of innocence, a life wrecker. A tool merely used to spread the seed of the only royal line? No… he would not become his brother, the brute Akuji perhaps hated above all. Akuji hated Harries moreso than even those impure due to their other breeds. He would not become like him. Akuji will do right by this femme, protect her and her pups. He will never be able to have feelings for her, for his heart was already full of love for another, taken by the Queen. After the birth of the pups he will never be affectionate with her… but he will protect her and be kind. He had none of the sadistic tendencies of Harries… what Akuji doesn’t realize is that he will undoubtedly hurt her, just not physically. But emotionally? All the while a charming smile lay painted upon his lips, his eyes bright, his demeanor charming and polite. He mimics her motions, his movements less precise and dainty but he makes no mess as he eats, his inquisitive vocals asking questions of her. In response, she turns her cranium enough to allow her orbs to meet his. She smiles happily and then laughs as she responses. I suppose I’ve always wanted to see more. I love my family Akuji, but they’ve never anchored me home. The brute nods, listening to her words attentively though he does not care to hear them. He is not rude, and perhaps in the back of his mind he wishes that he cared for his words… so that he would not care so deeply for the Queen. It was only by chance he noted the change in her vocals, becoming harder just a bit, but in the next second they softened once again. You’re very kind. It is a value thrown away almost as often as integrity. Thank you for your concern but I’ve been quite fortunate on my journey here. Akuji smiles, dipping his head before glancing away down to the corpses of the meal he had just finished, sweeping them into the rushing water. “I am glad you have made it thus far safely, ma’am.” A soft rumble sounded in the far sky, turning his brown orbs toward the heaves, toward the thick clouds that were threatening to loose tears down on them. When he looked down, he noticed she was still eating, taking her time and he bluffs a look of embarrassment at how rushed he had consumed the fish. It is only after she addresses him that his gaze raises to peer upon her face. Tell me about your family, Akuji. It’s been so long since I’ve been at privilege to that life… Akuji smiles softly at her and closes his eyes as if remembering good memories, but all he wants to do is forget what happened back home. The words that come forth from his chest are all true, though they omit much of the truth. “My father is the leader of one royal family… there are a number of factions of royals in my homeland though. I have a brother and a sister…” A grin comes over his face as he thinks of Shae, who he is genuinely affectionate toward. “My sister’s name is Shae – her first born will be the one most likely to take over the thrown when my father steps down. Many of the royals have large differences between the varying factions, so in an attempt to make a truce of peace I was betrothed to a princess of another of the royal families. But she wasn’t for me and I wasn’t for her.” It was true, but it was also not fully true. Akuji sighed before smiling at her. “That is why I am here, in these lands. My father was disappointed that because our betrothal was unfulfilled, we did not join the two royals together, so I am to find another on my own. Find my own way in life and choose one who I desire.” Laughing, he lies down on the soft silt of the shore. “And that is my story. I can tell you more about my homeland if you wish, but it is rather dreary to hear the day to day history of the royal families.” ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |
