Stone Circle things

Ezekiel felt even more embarrassed when Nikai noticed him floundering. He was embarrassed but also grateful that they could move on from this topic. It may not have been Valette's first time, but it was Zeke's. A chance or reason to mate had never come up in his life before, and once he'd met Val he was sure she was the only one he would want to do it with. Nikai mentioned some girls, no one girl, that he liked, and made another question of it. Once again Valette did the answering, but something she said bugged Ezekiel a little.

Usually you have pups with your mate, like me and your father, she said, as if Steady was the father of the coming pups. Perhaps Val just wanted him to be, which Ezekiel understood, but Ezekiel was the father. Ezekiel wanted to be the father. Would the alpha not acknowledge that, even for a moment? She corrected her sip up, but still did not mention that Ezekiel was the actual father. She moved on to talk about this girl Nikai mentioned, but Zeke still dwelled on the previous part.

Put out by this entire conversation, the Beta male backed up a little. I think Val has this talk under control, but if you do have any guy questions, you can always come to me Nikai. I'm going to go finish my patrol. He gave them both respectful nods and turned to leave so that they could finish on their own. 

exit Zeke here :)
