MEN SHOULD KEEP THEIR WORD,
The male was still shocked by his mate’s words. Guilt washed over him as he realized that he had been unfair to assume that she wouldn’t want to have a family. It had been a long time since he had thought about whether or not he would have a family, and he had thought that wasn’t an option when he had fallen in love with Macaria. He would have done anything, and given up anything to be with her. Once he had actually been mature enough to actually be honest with himself about his feelings. But that had been a while ago and now things were good between them. Grey Wind didn’t realize that he had been silent for a long time in his thoughts, and Macaria began to turn away from him, no doubt thinking that his silence was bad. When he finally did speak, letting her know that he indeed wanted to have a family with her, she turned back to him. His yellow orbs met her orange ones as she turned back to face him. When she smiled, a real smile that lit up her face, his own face lit up in a similar fashion, but for a slightly different reason. He was excited to have a family with her, but seeing her happy like this was perhaps the best part of it. The male would do anything to make her smile like that more often.
Macaria went on about her family and why she really wanted the pups. It was a different thought than his own, but they both wanted the same thing. A family together. She wanted to prove something to herself, and he wanted to extend his family and to make pups with his lover. As she shared more about her family with him, he figured that he should do the same. Talking about his family didn’t bother him even though most of them were gone now. The pair did not often talk about their past, but she had shared some of her own, so Grey Wind wanted to share some of his. ”Well you will be different than your mother. It’ll be different when we have our own family.” The brute paused for a moment as he pressed his muzzle to her own, already enjoying the idea of having a family with her. ”I’ve been around pups more than you. My pack helped raise all litters even though the parents were mostly responsible. And I helped with my younger brothers and sisters a lot. But I know that you will make a fabulous mother.” As his mate continued the femme began to lick and nip at his ear, knowing what that did to him. And Grey Wind leaned into her touch as he felt her purr against him. As much as he loved her touch and was feeling the beginnings of lust for her, as he often did when he was with her, they needed to make sure they were on the same page, and so he continued their talk.
The darkly colord female shared her thoughts more, and he was glad that they were being honest with each other. Even though he didn’t agree with her entirely, he could still understand where she was coming from. If it seemed that one of their kin would not survive or thrive well, would it be more humane to end their suffering before it begins? In his mind that was not an option. It was not up to him who lived or died, not when it came to the young. But all they could do was hope to have a healthy litter that they could raise to have thrive. Macaria watched his features, which didn’t show any anger or unhappiness from her words, but not agreement. ”I understand where you are coming from, and while I do not agree we will have to find a way to respect each other’s wishes. But I do want a family with you. We’ve made everything work between us, and we can make this work. Together.” The couple did not often have romantic type talks, or not the traditional romantic talk that most were used to. But when it was over something important like their family, he was glad that they were having an honest conversation with each other. Once more Macaria leaned against him, and feeling that they were in a good place, the male turned to touch more of her. His cranium reached out to nuzzle at her face briefly before he licked at her jaw, moving down to her neck and nipping at her. Knowing that the pair would make a family excited him more than he thought it would. A growl of want escaped his throat as his plume traced up and down her form, wanting every part of himself to be touching her.
