Noctisardor Bypass Return of a Slave

Fading this since Enya is no longer in the game, and my post log needs cleaned up. :)

The other female seemed... fearful, almost. As though by merely speaking to her, she was committing some sort of crime. A concerned expression flooded Paar's lovely features, a thoughtful frown tugging at the corners of her mouth. What had Shadow done to this wolfess, to make her so timid? Threatened her life? Beat her? Unsure, the crimson Alphess found it difficult to think her husband capable of such brutality, but it hit her with harsh realisation that Shadow was, indeed, cruel and merciless in his own twisted way.

Yet, she loved him. She had promised herself to him, all of her, and as his mate came a duty to be faithful to him. But before her stood a she-wolf, fragile but not broken, offering herself to Paarthurnax as a slave to do whatever she wished her to.

This was not acceptable.

"Call me Paar," she said softly, her tail lashing at her sleek rump. "Forgive me for asking, but... why did Shadow make you his slave?" But the girl did not respond to her, instead remaining crouched pitifully at her feet. Paarthurnax stared at her, confused and pained, and could not find the words to speak. With nothing else to say, she turned away and promptly left the scene, sure that the girl would feel better without the shadow of an Alphess looming over her.
