give my heart a place to rest

Whether he was in a state to fight had not crossed his mind, to entranced by the fickle push and shove of I am your better, I am your equal, and I am beneath you. More often than not, it was a test of wills rather than force...but, as expected, the Beta was making it about force. The threat of violence only proved to fan the flames; striking the match of his currently testy placement among Tonravik and her brethren.
INDENTIf he had to show Kroc that he was not just another vagrant to pique Tonravik's interest, so be it. If he had to prove that he does not bend his head to every wolf wanting to flex their rank in his face, so be it. Tatsuya has never lived a quiet life. It sure as shit was not going to start now.
INDENTTense, he waited for Kroc to make a move. The quick movement of peeled lips caused his own to do so, fangs and gums revealed for all to see. The exact second her fangs parted, Tatsuya jerked away from her. He'd be damned if he was going to stand there and let her rip off his face. It was one of his good features. That might not have been her initial purpose - face ripping and the like - but Tatsuya was smart enough to avoid her mouth. Watching her jaws close shut, his own opened to enclose her's...until a big fat paw slammed into the side of his face. Maybe he got something. Maybe he didn't. He was seeing double at the moment, stunned. Yeah. Who's smart now, huh? Dumb ass.
