It was a repeat of last time. The coldness. The seething. The poison-laced words. He was incensed, perhaps even a bit insulted that she would continue to hold him in such poor light after all his efforts to do good by her. He could feel his anger bubble beneath his concern, and had to stay the questions that started to invade his mind about whether or not this was worth it, if he should even bother.

"I did not mate her," he repeated, firm but for now retaining his calm composure as the met face to face. He stood tall, refusing this time to bend with apology. She had been mistaken, and he had done no wrong. He was here only to assure her of that and to later address the matter of the beta's coupling. "I guarded her. I was trying to prevent the beta male from copulating. There was no sex, no... penetration." He bit back the shared blame she seemed not to be mindful of, that as the alpha female, it was expected of her to stop these heats before they happened, or to do her own share of guarding instead of running off.

He drew a breath, exhaling slowly, as he went on, saying what perhaps he should have said before. "I have eyes only for you. It is you I have always wanted, as a mate, and as my alpha female. I have been wanting to ask you if you would choose me... before your heat, before mateship was chosen for us." He knew he would claim her when that time came, but he did not want their mateship to seem forced. For as traditional as he could be, this was one thing he wished not to do by the old way.
