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

Wrapping it up! You can post again or have it archived. :)

"You were an Alpha?" Pied teased, not because it was unbelievable—even though she thought Kisu softhearted and charming, she could see the tough layer in there too—but because it was another thing she hadn't really known about her lover until now. Perhaps it was strange to not know her would-be mate better, yet Pied knew they would spend the rest of their lives getting to know each other.

"I couldn't do it without you," she reminded him, returning his nuzzle. "I wouldn't want to do it without you or with anyone else. We're going to be a great team and wonderful parents, Kisu. I can't wait."

Of course, they would have to wait—not only for Akhlut's seal of approval but for Pied's own body to make ready to carry their young. Although the thought made her impatient, Pied knew they needed the time to prepare anyway. Getting ready for all of it was a big part of the fun anyhow; she would have so much fun finding the perfect den, creating a cozy home of it, making sure everything was ready down to the tiniest detail...

"C'mon, beautiful, let's perfect our tandem walk," she quipped after a beat, scurrying suddenly toward the waterline and starting a trot across the damp sands, hoping Kisu would fall into place and the two of them would find their perfect stride together.
