Swiftcurrent Creek this is your fate

Almost as soon as he meet her gaze, he faltered. He crumbled, defeated and fragile, unlike her powerful silver outrider she'd come to know. Shadow lowered his head to her level, to sell comfort in her embrace, and Paar manoeuvred her crown until her forehead was pressed firmly to her companion's silken cheek. When he pulled away from their brief embrace, Paarthurnax resisted the urge to press her lithe frame to his own, so strong was her need to support and comfort him. But instead she waited, door eyes lingering on Shadow's features as he began with urgent words.

It was all happening too fast. Her heart lurched, her stomach flopped, her mind reeled. She wasn't ready to deal with this! But time was no longer on her side, it seemed, and with Bazi's decision to remove Shadow from the ranks, so rose Paar's need to make a decision that would chance her life.

Please, said the new loner, grief present in his platinum eyes. Paar felt her heart rate quicken within her breast, and emotion welled in her eyes. She blinked away the that of tears, and shook her head in disbelief. "Let me talk to her," she managed, her voice breaking, knowing somehow that the stubborn Alpha would not re-think her decision. "Let me fix this... we can talk about this, make her realise that losing you is not good for anybody."
