Thread: Purity of Blood and Denial of Heart (Raivh & Talin)

Kinsley knew the hesitation, understood the reservation. The duo of women hadnt gotten along in the past. What could have possibly changed between them? Time, her green eyes fell to Jackson. She wanted to see the boy grow into a man. Though time had yet to heal her wounds completely, she knew he was the key. She could teach him to be a strong leader she knew she had it in her. Her fire hadnt burned out, what Adrik found and tried to nurture in her hadnt left. Golden eyes flitted over her face as a wide smile formed on her pink lips. She sank into Athelus grasp. Thank you, Perhaps she could come to think of her as another mother. At only 20, she was still coming into her own skin and figuring out her place in the world. Smiling she took Athelus hand as she guided her I havent been cared for since she trailed off. Closing her eyes and letting the other female lead her. It was hard. Hard not to think of him, being here, in her presence brought him back all the more. She felt the other males eyes on her and heard his constant sniffing of her. She was trying not to show her annoyance or allow her temper to flare, she knew her heat was close that was the single reason she had planned their escape when she did. Leaving before it welled up enough to be tracked exactly. Her green gaze lifted to Athelus, Um well the eyes and his scent, both are yours. Its not something I would soon forget. Her eyes locked on Athelus golden. There was something there she wasnt saying, but Kinsley refused to believe the woman would hold much against her now. Kinsley smiled at Jackson then turned to Athelu, Im sure your mate would be glad to have him back, unless you are widowed as well. She ate swiftly the thick stew was welcome in her system. Her body was chilled, having never truly been warm since being forced to remain as mate for Greyson. He eats like a horse, this one. She ruffled Jacksons hair from across the table as he laughed and kicked his feet. They had been like brother and sister since Greyson took Adrik away from her. I made sure each day was filled with laughter, and he knew YOU were his mother. She felt the bitterness welling up inside her and wanted to toss the niceties to the side and demand why she was alive and her mate, a man twelve times stronger, was dead. What deal had she made? She tried hard to push emotions aside and not blame Athelu it was quite possible that they had threatened him with her death, maybe even told him they had already killed her. Knowing Adrik, hed have given up his life for hers or Athelus. Shed have done the same for him, same as when they faced the hunter the night he marked her. Though she sat returning the womans smile, Kinsley was throttling the woman in her head. Her face stayed this firm mask as those around her ate. Glad someone could be happy in her misery. Wrapping her arms around herself, she stifled a yawn. The long day that had started with a predawn dip in the stream was weighing heavy on her worn body. Where will I sleep? Trayton liked the fire hed seen in the females eyes when she threatened him earlier, it made him want to laugh. An alpha she was, surely his sister would see to it that she was taken care of. Why not offer her a place to stay? He raised a blonde brow in his sisters direction when he heard her question. Noting the scowl and worry he made a daring suggestion. Why not allow your guest to become mate to your fiercest hunter, that way she would be protected and have a companion? He smiled at his brilliant suggestion, Hed be great company, I might add. Kinsley rolled her eyes at the male she didnt need another cocky, confident male in her life. Not after the last one had left so suddenly. Her heart ached for him every day, they had just come together. Had just found a common ground, one where she could submit to his will. The night they marked each other everything went to hell because of Athelu. Snarling she reached a hand up and stroked her shoulder, eyes locking with Athelu. Each knew what she was reliving as she sat there next to the tall blonde male. Her green eyes grew cold. Id prefer to be the hunter. I need no male, my heat will wane. Her eyes floated to the male. His eyes were green, much like her own he wasnt bad looking, but he wasnt Adrik. Looking back to Athelu she shook her head trying to clear Adriks words away, his MINE still firmly ricocheting through. Shes going into heat soon I can smell it and something should be done. It is bound to drive all the men in the village, insane. Forgive me for putting it bluntly. He smiled at her and watched her eat a moment. Athelu? Growling at the male Kinsley stood and knocked the bowl from his hand. She reared back and snarled in his face, Sniffing and trailing me as you are doesnt make it better. Looking at Jackson she lowered her voice and hissed, I suggest you back off before I break you! Jackson giggled. Kinsley sat, I will have no other male! Adrik was my mate, the only man I would EVER allow in my bed. YOU are nothing like him. Do not allow yourself to think you well enough to maintain me! I refuse to bend my will to the likes of you when my mate hadnt been able to tame me yet AND I loved him! Out of habit she bent, kissed the top of Jacksons head while tugging his earlobe and whispering, Sleep well love. Grasping her pack she nodded her head and stood in the outside. I will sleep within your territory, goodnight. Her words were meant for Athelu, though her green glare took in each adult. She stomped up into the woods behind the house they were in. Men were not a necessary need for her, there was only one man that had ever been necessary. Kinsley tore her dress off and transformed from human to lycan, her white fur a stark contrast to the dark woods around her. Travelling high up in the mountains tan skin sat against the white bit of snow at that elevation, dark hair whipped into frenzy by the frigid air around her. Green mournful eyes lifted to the night sky when she let her tears fall.
