Now we got problems

continuing their last thread--

The hell, snaked the low and scalding voice of @Akavir, before he was treading far from Maia's den.

Ibis did not know she had set the new mother off on a new spasm of emotion; only that the girl hurt, and Eljay too, and now somehow Akavir was agitated and Ibis was left to wonder what she had done.

She knew she had wounded him before, and that their last conversation had been riddled with high emotions due in part to the hormones she carried at the time. Now? He was cold and he was angry, and all Ibis could do was scamper after him.

Wait -- she huffed as her limbs churned.

Akavir, wait - ! she called after him, hot on his trail. Can we talk? about us, and the kids, and the future, and so many things.

She followed him—it wasn’t truly something he had expected given his return and champagne eyes glanced back to her, tracing the beautiful curves of her body and feeling a certain ache that surpassed even his appreciation of her looks, but the woman he had come to love.

His jaw clenched—a twitch in his eye indicating his ire and fatigue. He didn’t know how to navigate this. How had his family fallen apart so swiftly? He had swore to never be like his own parents—to find a partner and have children and bring them into a world where they could at least feel their hearth and home was not at stake.

But now, as he looked at her, he realized there was a very real part of the she-wolf before him he did not even know about. Both their children were now gone—the barest hint left open that maybe they weren’t even his—and she was now the mother of another man’s pups.

What a naive little shit he had been.

“Yeah,” he murmured, his gaze weary. “But not right now. I can’t…” And he trailed off, unknowing how to explain to her his thoughts. “I just need to think.”

And that’s what he said to her. If he had known it would be his last words to her ever, perhaps he wouldn’t have let his pride and hurt get in the way of a life that could have been beautiful in the end, just like her.
