DANCE WITH THE DEVIL TONIGHT

She was miraculous perfection embodied and I couldn’t keep my mind off of her. How is it that fate has determined us to be one complete soul upon meeting? I being the forgotten son of an alpha of the days of old and she being an heir to an everlasting legacy that has marked this land for eternity. I know all about her Angelic heritage and the stories of old that tell of how they all even came to be. I know that my father had never quarreled with her family but this still felt like treason to be so close to her. I arose from my place outside of the den that she had chosen for her own and shook off the thick layer of snow that had accumulated upon me overnight.

Eyes of black and red turn back to peer into the darkness of the burrow she had taken as her own before I turned to descend the snow laden crags. My breaths appear in smoky tendrils from my blackened nose as my lungs breathe in the frigid winter air and exhale fiery warmth in return. I blend so seamlessly into the winter backdrop that one would not even know I was present without a second glance; only my immense size betraying my whereabouts.

While I had done my fair share in killing those of my ilk I did not wish to do so any longer, even if herbivorous prey was scarce this year. I travelled far from the base of the crags in search of a meal for my seraphim lady before she awoke and found luck in the fact that a young caribou buck had fallen to an injury upon its leg. The herd moves lackadaisical in the distance while their brother has fallen and tries to stand up time and time again. It was good chance that I happened upon the smaller male in this instance before any other predator could finish him off and quickly move in to take away his struggle.

Being as tall as a grizzly had its perks and one decisive move could end the poor bastard’s life if I could just maneuver around those massive antlers. I devise a plan quickly as I circle around him at a brisk jog and as I near his anterior once again I lunge inward, grasping a piece of his shoulder and tearing at it before retreating away from the swords of bone he adorns. I move back around again and dive in from an angle as he lifts his head up high in a display of how large his antlers may be. A foolish mistake for one this young. His movement allows me access to his throat and within moments it is all over, my immense jaws clenching upon the trachea and snuffing the life from him.

I begin to tear into the belly of the creature and devour my fill of him before tearing off the uninjured hind leg. It is yanked and torn from the carcass at the hip so that I can ensure my sovereign angel has enough to satiate her hunger. With a bit of effort I drag the chunk of meat up the crags the same way I had taken down, leaving a trail of bright red blood in my wake, and lay it down outside of the den that she kept herself within. I did not dare to enter for being wary of how she may feel about a male - despite being her soul match - intruding upon her. Even so early on I feel very deeply for her but despite the connection that ties us together I am still unsure of how exactly it is that she thinks of our relationship. I have been treading carefully since the day we had met but there is nothing more that I wish to do than to solidify what already keeps me so close by her side.
