I'm Coming Home...

Forgive me! PP-ing Slade

Meldresi frowned at Slade's last minute refusal, her hopes being dashed against the wall for a re-strengthened Brotherhood. She could not press him into changing his mind — she never forced other people to change their minds — so she nodded, silently saying "I understand" and letting him go. Whether or not he would return was finalized now: he would not.

With his choice made, Meldresi turned to her mate, her Dark King. She licked his muzzle softly, a gentle smile on her face as she mixed her scent with his, her body tingling. "Come." She strode back into her Woods, sighing with relief as the shadows washed over her. She was home.
