Miki Suka

Finnally coming along a good den site she started digging it out a bit more..digging a shallow dip for her comfort...and there she curled up and relaxed letting out a soft howl before she took a nap in her new home.

Cavan

Cavan paused infront of the den, sniffing intently around it. It sparked memories of his younger days, back when he lived with Athara, the bear. To him, a den was a place of comfort and warmth and cubs. Crawling into the den, he curled up near Miki Suka and listened to the wind howling outside.

Miki Suka

Sunset coat mingled against his own. Her head laying there agaisnt his shoulders, her breathe slow and easy and she curled in against him. He was warm and his larger figure brought her the comfort years of lonely torment had brought her. And so she lay there in her sleep at last at peace with everything.

Cavan

As he lay there, listening to Miki's breathing and the sounds of the winds outside, Cavan's thoughts trailed to a dangerous thought. The pack directly to their north... he had betrayed them bitterly, and his brother Jais lived there. Although he dared not show it, Cavan was deeply worried about the Avalanche Grove and its members. Dark Star and Peregrine had been his friends, then he betrayed them too...

Cavan sighed quietly before thinking of his sister, Nachi. Perhaps he would try to get her to join their pack. Cavan thought they needed more members, especially with Dark Star's pack bordering them to the north.

Miki Suka

And she woke hours later to yawn softly there and nuzzle in against him softly.

"Hmmm ... Cavan ... you're tense... what is wrong?"

She expressed her growing love, her tounge flickering against his maw as she nuzzled in against him.

"What are you thinking of?"

Cavan

He smiled warming towards her, but aprehension showed slightly in his features. He didn't want to tell her about his strange past, but he knew he must eventually.

"It's just... well, my brother lives in the pack north of us. The Avalanche Grove. We kind of... we don't get along. At all." he smile grew a bit sheepish, but there was clearly so worry in his tone. "And the alpha and beta of the pack use to be my friends, but I'm sure they feeled betrayed by me for something I did a while ago..."

Cavan let his story trail off, but he didn't want to upset Miki. Quickly, he added a bit more. And this time, his tone was hopeful.

"But I doubt they will be any bother to us. Dark Star and Kana are respectible alphas. I just think that... well, we should not get on their bad side."

Miki Suka

A small worried look dashed across pretty features but it was washed away as she huffed into his ear in a teasing way.

" Don't worry -- time heals all wounds ... and ... I trust you will keep us safe."

Miki brushed her maw along his neck and then against his back..pressing in against him softly.

" Cavan ... there are a few males who wanted to join our pack ... I told them I would speak with you ... I wouldn't want to invite them in without your consent..."

Cavan

As he looked to Miki, his gaze softened and a smile played over his muzzle. He was greatly relieved that she wasn't upset about the story he told.

"I'm sure they would make a good addition to our pack." He stated lightly, although he was curious to meet these wolves. But he could do that in good time anyway.

He let his head drop down against Miki as he took in her scent with a big sighing breath. He couldn't remember ever feeling so peaceful in his life. The thought of pups flashed through his mind, but he figured it was probably too soon to say anything about that.

Miki Suka

A slow soft voice in his ear.

"Cavan ... I ... When can we start .... when .... when can we have our own family?"

If wolves could blush!

Cavan

Oh, how he would blush! Cavan had never thought of pups before meeting Miki, and now the prospect of it whelled up in his heart.

"When ever you are ready, I am too." he licked her on the muzzle, showing his dedication to her.

Miki Suka

" Then ... then I want a family!"

She shivered against him adn murmered slowly.

"I want to prove....I can be a good mama....I know I would..oh Cavan..can't we? When? I ...soon?"

Cavan

A surge of joy went through him when he thought about being a father. In truth, it made him a bit nervous. But at the same time he was was determined, like his mate, to be a good parent.

"We will be the best of parents." he replied warmly, his voice singing with pride and hope. "We could start our family now, if you like."

Miki Suka

She jumped right up and rushed outside the den running around in circles before she came back and settled to be with him.
