Northstar Vale Thistle Crown

With faith in herself, she was certain Takeshi would back down and show just a little more respect for her new title. Sadly, that wasn't the case. He laughed right in her face and only towered over her higher than ever before. At this moment she had to stand her ground, keeping her position steady despite his defiance and overwhelming confidence. He was like a mountain she was trying to climb and he only ever got taller and taller and the peak further away with every step.

His words had cut deep. Like a sword straight through her chest, but the only time she buckled under him was with the strike that jostled her head. It took a moment for the Empress of snow to regain sight that wasn't tripled, to keep her head steady and cast a defiant glare to the man who had dared to put a paw on her.

He already knew, by his words she had no doubt he knew that she had bonded with Yuudai at this time. Perhaps this could win back some ground he took, one more time she began. And what if I bore Yuudai puppies? You and I both know what transpired. If I am yours as you say, could you raise them as your own? And should anything happen to the puppies by his fangs, the pack would have no quarrels with turning against him she was certain of that, and Reiko herself would feel no guilt in refusing his stay any longer.
