Horizon Ridge If I fall for you, I'll never recover

Kisu listened to Pied's story, his heart falling when he heard her father took his own life because he had "caused" defects in his children who had passed. He took a slow deep breath in, thoughts racing with the thought of losing his future pups to many different things: the elements, wandering off, defects... his brother returning. Even if these things could rip the heart from his chest, he knew he wanted them anyway. What was the point of living if he didn't develop his courage from the fear that filled him?

The grey and rusted wolf took a step forward and nuzzled into the crook connecting Pied's neck and chin. He then lifted her head gently, pushing his nose upward from under her chin. "I think even with everything that could go wrong with having pups, that we should still try. You have your fears, and I have mine, but we can conquer them together and have the family we deserve, Pied." His silvery-goldenrod eyes slipped shut and he rested his head in the same crook as before, breathing deep and steadily.
