Firefly Ravine One Less Lonely Boy

Zephyr smiled as the wolf dog leaned back, licking the top of her multicolored head as she mumbled. He'd have answered her had she not fallen asleep in the next moment, leaving him alone with her mother. Not that it bothered him, he'd found his green eyes drawing to her more than once. Though she was pretty, he'd had a mate in the past, and had no intentions on taking another. He didn't think it would get to that point anyway, pushing the thought away. 
            "I'm alright with making a friend."
When she complimented him, the ebony wolf clearly noticing her flirting, he couldn't help but wonder if he would one day change his mind. Would he one day move on from Rinda, take a new mate? Maybe have new pups? The thoughts seemed horrifying to him, replacing his family, until he kept thinking about it. They'd want him to be happy, surely? If that meant taking a new mate, would Rinda agree? 
                       "Why thank you, Lyric. I'm flattered. I can't stand males who think they own everything."
Zephyr curled his lip, showing a couple sharp fangs to nobody in particular as a deep rumbling growl echoed from his chest. He cut it off almost at once though, not wanting to wake Rain, but was still clearly upset with said males.
                                  "Think they can just do what they want, go anywhere, claim whatever females they want. Disgusting! Acting as if they weren't RAISED by a female." 
He seemed to speak from experience, obviously very angered. He glared off at some fireflies for a moment before taking a deep breath and looking back to the pale ginger she-wolf once he had his composure again. 
                                                "I apologize. I promise to always protect you, and Rain, from such males. And anything else, for that matter."
He licked her ears gently, tail wagging and back to his sweet self. He meant it when he said he'd protect them, from anything. These two clearly liked him, and he enjoyed the company more than he ever had. He wasn't about to let this go, or let them be harmed in anyway.
