As I entered my apartment my eyes were immediately drawn to the two burly wolves in the corner. I recognized them immediately and that meant another problem was around here somewhere.
"You two,"I called,"where is Kane."
They looked at each other and then the one on the left decided to answer.
"Sir, Kane is waiting for you with Ronna in the next room,"he said,"and sir?"
"Yes?"
I replied calmly even though my nerves felt pretty shot today.
"Sir, hes not in a very good mood."
"Thank you."
It appeared even the bodyguards of my rival were worried how things would go.
I padded through the opening to confront him.
"Kane,"I barked as I entered,"You were told not to enter my dwellings or go near my beloved under penalty of banishment."
"True,"he replied,"but i needed to talked to you and I wasn't sure when you would return. So i decided to keep little Ronna here some company."
He shifted a little and I could see the thick corded muscle under the thin coat of gray fur. If he wanted to fight now, I wouldn't let him live.
A wide scar run through his right eye, a scar that now dominated his once good looking features, a scar i had given him last time he challenged me for leadership of the pack.
I looked over to Ronna. She was so beautiful and no other female could match her. Her fur was the color of the moon, and her eyes were so blue that they seemed to glow. Her every movement was graceful beyond belief.
And she wouldn't meet my eyes when I looked at her.
"What did you do to her,"I growled. "If you've hurt her I will kill you Kane."
"Don't be melodramatic Kierrn, I love life to much to be so bold as to hurt little Ronna. I just let it slip that if I had killed you and claimed the pack then she would be my mate, not yours." He smiled
"She didn't seem to like that,"he said.
"Who would."
"Don't be cruel,"He yawned,"now on to business, as much as I hate to ask this I need a favor from you."
"Ask your favor later I've already had more than I wish to take tonight."
"Are you telling me to leave?"
"Yes."
"As you will,"he stood,"I will want to speak to you soon though, and if you put me off for to long bad things will start to happen."
"Is that a threat?"I growled
"No, just a statement." And with that he padded out of the room
What the hell was so important to him that he'd risk banishment just to ask me a favor.
I walked over to Ronna.
"Are you alright, love?" I asked.
She took a deep breath and looked at me. And in that gaze I knew that she feels for me the way
I feel for her.
"I'm alright,"she said,"he just gives me the creeps."
"He gives everybody the creeps."
She stood and rubbed her whole body down the side of mine, it felt so good.
She put her muzzle to my ear and whispered
"I'm so glad your back." and gave me a playful nip.
"I could never stay away from you for too long."
She smiled at me
"Your just saying that."
"No I'm not I love you with all of my being, my Ronna."
"I love you too,"she said.
And we spent the rest of the cuddled in the corner just enjoying being together, only to awake to the cold gaze of Blake.
