Welcome to Gaia! ::

Feeling guilty that she had somehow ruined their sweet moment, the female looked up at him and met his intense eyes. Leaning up, she licked his throat and settled against him, again basking his warmth. Though her thoughts were in turmoil his strength and warmth made it easier for her to concentrate on their current happiness.

"My father," she answered softly as she lay her head down on his paws and sighed softly, "If he found out about this or ran across her pups. I do not know what he might do."

There was a small silence followed by a possessive growl. Her fur twitched as she thought about that and it sent a flare of anger through her. "If he hurts them I will tear his throat out, sire or not."

Her snowy ears flattened slightly when he growled at her, but when he assured her that she would have no blood on her soul, she met his eyes. He meant it. He would keep her from smearing her name in the death of her father. Should it even come to pass, that is. She hoped he would give up on her and never come looking. Then they would be left in peace to raise a family and begin a pack of their own.

"Thank you, Taro," Titania whispered softly as she nuzzled into him. There were still faint traces of blood on his fur and she could smell it, but it did not bother her. Leaning in, she leaned his flank slowly, washing the blood from his fur with her rough tongue.

"Should it happen, I will gladly wash the blood from you. You are my protector, my strength," she murmured against him, "My mate."

"Hush Taro," Titania gave a tiny growl, nipping his neck softly and then soothing the n** with her tongue immediately. Nuzzling his throat, she settled happily beneath him, her body relaxed and her soul willing. This was her mate and she would never betray him nor lose her faith in him. Different from humans, wolves made bonds quickly and they would never break such strong bonds with one another. Especially those forged between mates.

"I know that should a monster be unleashed, he will keep me and our pups safe from all harm. That's all that matters to me. I know even if you are the worst wolf in the world, you have me and your pups here," she pressed a soft paw to his chest where his heart was.

Smiling she lay her head back down and snuggled closed to him. She wanted to be near him and Titania wanted his scent on her.

"I am trying, grumpy mongrel," Titania told him with a small grin. He licked his neck softly before nuzzling in close and settling. She let her muscles unwind and settle. Her heart rate slowed and soon she was able to n** at sleep and drag it closer. The wound on her flank gave a dull ache, but she was able to ignore it because her new mate lay next to her, holding her and keeping her safe from the elements.

Fighting each other, fighting a bear, and then fighting off the cold. They grew close to each other in such a short time, but that was nature. Soon they would be mated truly and she would carry his pups.

"Pups," she murmured sleepily. It made her smile as she dreamed of such things. His pups.

The night passed and the wind howled around the cave before settling with the morning sun. The grey clouds parted enough to let a small bit of warming light through. It was cast upon the snow and danced through the trees. Soon the sunlight slid over the cave entrance and a rare cloud of warmth moved into the new den of the two wolves.

As that warmth moved over Titania, she began to wake. The snowy canine opened her eyes slowly and game face to face with a gold and black pelt that she was nuzzled rather tightly into. For a moment she was surprised and confused, but then she remembered the last two days. Smiling, she made a tiny yipping sound and nuzzled into the beautiful fur, her nose burrowed into his neck gently.

"Taro..." she whispered and curled happily into him.

The female wolf smiled softly and leaned up. She groomed his neck and throat with all the affection she had in her. Being a morning person she was more awake than he and working to wake him slowly and gently. Running her rough tongue over his head and behind his ears she gave a soft growl-like purr. He was so handsome and she wanted to be the good mate that made sure he stayed that way.

The wound on her side was healed up very nicely, but she should still be careful. Smiling for a moment, she figured she felt good enough to truly become his mate. If wolves could blush she would be a little pink at such thoughts, but she was an adult. This was their nature and she was his mate. They were going to have pups together. That was decided.

"My mate, it is morning," she murmured as she licked his ear.

A small chuckle came from Titania's muzzle as she watched him. He was a grumpy puppy in the morning it seemed. Grinning, she leaned down and licked his muzzle slowly. He was so handsome, she would happily tend to him all morning... even if that meant they stayed in all morning.

"I feel much better. I think my side has stopped throbbing and is already healing up," Titania told him before before nuzzling into close to him and licked his chest. She settled against him once more and just watched the curve in the cave that lead toward the entrance, listening carefully. The wind had actually died down and it was less frigid within the cave.

"What a night," she whispered before laying her head down.
