sucks to be you

Gonna keep this short. I don't know what's going to happen here and I just want her first reactions.

He rushed her and almost immediately, her hackles raised and her teeth bared in her readiness to defend herself, the thought that he would turn on her flashing through her head. He knew she was not a creature of passion or affection, her displays of the latter often rough and/or painful, and so surely, he must have figured that she would not know how to react but even that was an understatement in this moment. He pinned her, the she-wolf frozen as he dove for her throat, expecting the worst.

And yet there was none of that, physical pain absent as he pleaded with her to stay. Stunned, the bearish wolf remained quiet and still as he snuggled her. "I can't..." Even her own voice cracked, though if that was due to emotion or the fact that his forehead rest against her throat, it was unknown. "I am of no use here; My shortsightedness endangered all of us and lost us one of our own." There was pain now, blossoming in her chest, pain that she tried to shut down and wall off. She could not handle her own failure, for never had she performed so miserably in her life.
