Ankyra Sound How did you think I wouldn't guess

When they had been able to part Kjalarr remained by her, to ward off any of the other males in the pack that might feel the compulsion to stake their own claim. Though Kjalarr did not necessarily want children there was no denying that it was a very real possibility and each time during her estrus cycle he took her would only be increasing the odds but he didn't linger upon that. Out of the fact that regardless there was nothing to be done about it now and the fact that if she would come seek him he would not deny her intimacy during her cycle if she craved it. The sound of paws thundering across the sands of the beach towards them, the angry snarls that carried on the brine caused Kjalarr to rise to his paws quickly, his hackles bristling. He had a duty to protect her from enticed males now that his seed was within her and he would. To the death, if need be.

It was Maude, to his surprise. It caused his ears to slick back for a moment before they rose and his tail lashed viciously behind him. He did not understand her aggression. She was not the Alpha and therefore had no reason to be charging at them like Fenrir facing down Odinn in Ragnarok. He felt Ondine press against him, using his body as a shield between her and Maude. Kjalarr's head rose, his tail curling over his back, his lips wrinkling back from his teeth, salmon pink tongue sliding across them in a silent warning to his Beta. Stand down. He did not think that Maude had interest in taking Ondine as she considered herself female. Which would mean that her anger was meant for him but it was not her place and thus his confusion continued, wondering if Maude would even answer the blood witches' question.
