Moonspear the end and the beginning of despair

no uh oh!!! <3 hydra don't know a thang! also, she didnt howl <3 she's just scent trackin'!

Her nose led her straight to Katya, unsurprisingly; one would have to be entirely noseblind to miss this scent, and there were many breeding males of age upon this mountain. Was I not explicit in my request to come find me once your heat began? she drawled, voice low and thick. The heady scent had an effect even on Hydra, but she was more incensed and angry than anything else. Her lust was of an entirely different variety, but she withheld her wrath. Perhaps Katya did not know; perhaps this was the first season of her lifetime.

If you did not know... now you do, she informed slowly, keeping her own head. Hydra's tail was well over her own hindquarters as she postured, leaning forward and shifting into Katya's personal space to crowd her, as instinct bade. I will bring you out of it; this scent of yours will draw males to you, and you to them, and unwittingly you may couple with one—here, or anywhere else, she knew Katya was a scout and did like to wander... and that is something I will not permit. She scoured her mind; had Katya been at the meeting...?

Hydra's own head was clouded. Stress is what brings she-wolves out of heat. This is not personal; this is for your own good. Should you have a mate next season, things may be different so long as you speak with Dirge and myself of it... and, having provided Katya with this much information, Hydra finished with a command: for the remainder of your heat you will stick with me. Ideally, it will not be too long to prevent you from your own duties as I seek to force you out of it sooner than the time it lasts.

Drawing tightly around Katya in a semi-circle, Hydra's teeth sought to give an admonishing nip to her subordinates flank, hardly hard enough to hurt or bring blood but certainly enough to pinch and be a bother if landed; such would be their days together in the future to provoke Katya's body to the stressed point of abandoning her heat altogether.
