Me being a human outcast and her being a wolf misfit drew us together, our paths crossing until they became one path that gave us the motivation to keep moving forward. Whether we liked it or not, it was only a matter of time before we had to go our separate ways, and here was the opportunity.
The chance to start anew.
The Vile Queen wished for me to be a failure. To wallow in my sadness and fuck up my business plans. It made sense, and it helped me further calm down.
The scent of cigarettes mixed with musky wood and cologne tickled my nostrils, and I noticed how warm I was. My ears picked up on the second beat of a heart, and I lifted my head to see the brilliant white fur that wrapped around me, the ends of midnight purple and black making me realize who it was.
Mate!
As if I hadn’t been wallowing in my sorrows, I was up and happily panting at the company of my bonded mate. One of his eyes opened up to acknowledge me, and I was mesmerized by how his eyes looked like literal jewels.
I’d be drooling if I could figure out how to do that, so instead, I tackled into him and began to rub myself against him happily.
“Willow.”
It was Dimitris, but I ignored him. He needed to understand I was enjoying my rubbing time with my mate which may have been weird if I tried to think about it from a human perspective, but I didn’t care.
Rub. Rub. Rub.
I rolled away from Loki with the simple nudge of his head at my body, which was tiny in comparison. But I was up and bouncing around him like I suddenly had a whole lot of energy. With how big he was, I was coming to realize that we weren’t in the same cave - this one had way more space than the previous.
It made it easier to run around and burn off some fuel, but when I finally came to a stop, I was whimpering again and went on all fours to sulk.
“Willow.”It was Loki’s voice that filtered through my mind, and I didn’t ignore it like the others - my eyes slowly lifting to have an excuse to peer into those jeweled orbs once more.“You wanna see something?”
That intrigued me enough to distract me. Lifting my head, I nodded slowly in hopes of seeing what he wanted to show me.
He slowly rose up to his full height, shaking his fur which was still wet.
“Follow.”
He didn’t hesitate to run out of the cave, picking up speed with enough confidence that I would follow his lead, which I did.
It was the competitive impulse that encouraged me to run faster until I was right on Loki’s tail. It was clear that the rain was beginning to shift to a light sprinkle, and by the time Loki began to slow down, the rain had ended.
I came to a stop when he did, my panting loud. My spirits lifted up at the sight of unfamiliar territory, but my moment of joy was only going to grow as my eyes caught onto the rainbow above.
It looked so big and mesmerizing to the eyes of a wolf, the colors so clear and bright, reminding me of looking into the stained glass in an ancient cathedral. It was amazing how something as simple as a rainbow could tug away at the threads of pain.
It lifted my spirits up, but what further left me in a state of awe was when I lowered my eyes to see the line of wolves waiting for me.
At first, I didn’t know how to react because my head darted to my bonded mates first. Mentally, I hadn’t really registered it all in my head like a wolf, and it was like taking in a moment of sensory overload, but instead of feeling overwhelmed by my surroundings, I was astonished to feel so much love from them.
It didn’t mean I didn’t feel any less love from the wolves I hadn’t completely initiated a bond with, which didn’t make me feel bad about that department of lack.
The wolf of gold caught my attention, and I knew for sure that was Milo. It was like looking at a lucky statue that would bring you a ray of abundance if you prayed to it, only he was real and very big.
He was just a bit smaller than Loki which intrigued me because he looked so different in human form in comparison to his wolf. But staring at him made me giddy with impatience, and with a happy howl, I was racing over to them until I tackled Milo first.
He didn’t even anticipate it, his massive body falling over to the side which made me yelp mockingly before I was running to tackle my next victim which was Jayce’s wolf.
I guessed he anticipated my crash encounter because he didn’t go flying at my tackle. I took my time rubbing his head and running around him before I licked his cheeks a few times.
I wanted him to understand that I was happy he’d come over to my office when he did, and though it would take me a hot minute in human form to get out of feeling like a depressed fool, I could take advantage of my moment of blissful joy to show my appreciation.
He nudged his head back at me before he curled around me as if to give me a comforting hug. Tiny flames spiked from his fur which totally captivated me enough to have me sitting in front of him like he’d become a performer and was about to put on a show.
There was muttering in my head, but I had all my focus on Jayce which made him yelp proudly before his whole body burst into beautiful flames. It wasn’t for long, and I felt there was a reason for it. I couldn’t quite grasp it yet, but the show was done in a few seconds and it was enough to make me howl and frolic around him one more.
