Blackfeather Woods Family matters

@Burke. I have permission from @Nemesis to assume a thing. ^^

With the turn of the seasons, he knew he should have expected it. That nature would have reared her head at them, solely for her own amusement. Kove refused to play her game, however, ignoring the temptation she'd given him and focusing instead on keeping others at bay. While he'd be unprepared, to say the least, he'd not lost himself to selfish desires. He'd kept his mind on track, focusing on what needed to be done rather than what he currently wanted to do. In the heat of the moment (no pun intended), his thoughts had been infiltrated by considerations of what the future might hold for him and his lover. If they would ever have a family, if they even could. Thinking such things, he'd left her immediate company, wandering far enough away that she couldn't indirectly distract him, but remained close enough to return with ease if troubles were to arise.

After settling himself some, he tilted his head back and called for Burke, requesting his presence with a hint of urgency in his tone. It'd been unintentional, of course, caused by his want to return to Nemesis as soon as possible. As he waited, his attention seemed to be focused in the direction he'd left her, listening carefully just in case. It took only seconds for hell to break loose, so he'd do what was necessary to prepare for anything.
