Ouroboros Spine kuli ⧫

At the beginning, Zane was totally following. She was agreeing with everything he was saying, and apparently she wasn't much for pack life either. Fuck, weird to find a chick who knew what that was like? He'd met loners, sure, but usually they were the strong silent type who could 'handle themselves' or whatever. Not that he couldn't, it was just different when packs ran at a speed you couldn't gel.

But then she went completely off. Zane's expression went from surprised, to intrigued, then to suspicious as she finished her commentary. You're shittin me, he said, flicking an ear and looking over her shoulder for Kukutux, who clearly was having a big old laugh at his expense. There was no way any girl, anywhere, would be chill with what she'd just laid down.

I buy the travelin thing, that's all cool. Pack rules are kind of shit anyway, and cept for the meals and the protection, they ain't worth much. But you're tellin me you don't buy the whole mate thing either? He looked at her, brow raised, clearly skeptical. Cause sweetheart, that's surprising. Wouldn't you want some dude who just, I dunno, promises to jump off the nearest cliff before betraying ya or some shit like that?

In all honesty, Zane's view on marriage was pretty fuckin limited.
