Peace and Quiet (Hektor) Jan 9, 2018 14:51:58 GMT -6

The moon, both large and full, sat high in the sky. It was late at night, well past the Anikiran’s usual bedtime. For as of recent, she had been hunting at dusk, having her fill of dinner, and going straight to bed in the den that she and her mate had claimed as their own. Before she became claimed, it wasn’t unusual for her to stay up late, enjoying the peace and quiet that came with being the only one awake under the moon’s watchful eye. However, after Hektor came in the picture, she saw no need to stay up late. For all she wanted was to either curl up and sleep with her mate or be taking care of him and the lands he had claim over. So, once he was ready to settle down, there was no reason for her to not do the same.

This particular night, however, she found herself resorting back to her old ways. Maybe it was because it had been a few days since she had seen her mate or perhaps it was because all the fun they had, had together was finally paying off. Whatever the reason may be, she knew sleep was not going to be her friend. So instead, she found herself venturing off towards the watering hole. It was the only source of fresh water within her homelands but she wasn’t going there for a drink, not this time.

Despite the chilly weather, once she made her way to the water, she continued over to it, walking until she was fully surrounded and unable to touch the ground. Most would probably call her crazy but night time swims had always been one of her favorite activities but it had been quite a while since she had been given the opportunity to do so. A part of her was tempted to call out to her mate, to tell him to come join her, but she didn’t want to risk waking him or anyone others that may be sleeping nearby. So instead, she allowed herself to become lost in her own thoughts as she floated through the cold water.

He was sleeping. Although neither of his females rested beside him, the male found had no trouble resting and enjoying his dreams. However, he had settled down only a short distance away from Avacyn's den, for he was uncertain whether or not he had successfully filled her with his pups. He did not want her to be open to other males to fill her, so he was insistent on keeping a close eye on her. A'ia, though he worried about her, would likely die before she carried a male's pups against her will. Since she seemed somewhat fond of him as of late, he doubted she would crawl to another male before coming to him anyways. It was the sound of paws padding past him on the dry earth that woke the male late in the night. His eyes opened to darkness and his nose caught a very familiar feminine scent as he lifted his head, spotting Avacyn moving away from his sheltered spot and towards the watering hole.

It made sense, for the female had been somewhat restless lately and it was the main source of water that Ser'eri had to offer. Still, he figured that his curiosity would win over and he did not even bother attempting to go back to sleep. He lifted himself slowly, stretching forward and then back before he trotted after her, easily catching up in time to see her slip into the water and begin swimming. Doing just that was one of his favorite pastimes, and it was easy for him to slip into the water after her and begin swimming towards her without even bothering to announce himself. He could always count on the Anikiran female to be happy to see him, and he doubted she would run from him even if he did manage to somehow surprise her.

"Good evening, darling." He said softly, swimming up to her and allowing his romantic and flirtatious side to overcome him. As he reached her he reached out his neck to lick her cheek, swimming up beside her and using his superior size to gently guide her through the water beside him as he swam. "You look lovely wet, I must say." He said, laughing softly and complimenting her while he nipped playfully at her neck. He liked the way her fur hugged her feminine form in the water, but at the same time the fur beneath the surface splayed out and looked so smooth and soft that he could not help brushing himself up against her side.

As she swam, Avacyn allowed herself to get lost in thoughts of her future. A future that, at one point in time, after the loss of her family, seemed so far from possible. Not only did she finally have a mate, and one that seemed to be perfect in every way, but she would soon be having pups. She didn’t know if the past two times she and Hektor made love had been successful or not, as it was still too soon to even begin to guess. But, she did know that they wouldn’t stop having fun until they were certain they were going to get the outcome that they wanted. The thought was more than exciting to her. She absolutely couldn’t wait to be the best mother and the best mate that she could be and make her entire family both present and deceased proud of her.

So lost in her own thoughts was she that the blue feme had no idea she was being followed. By the time the male had caught up to her and brushed against her, she nearly jumped out of her skin. Though, it only took a millisecond for the look of worry on her face to turn into one of pure delight. “Well hello there, handsome” she said with a loving tone and a big grin as she nuzzled against his neck. Though, a few seconds later, after she had a chance to greet him, she nipped his neck “Don’t scare me like that, it’s not nice,” she reprimanded him with a chuckle, sticking her tongue out at him.

His next comment life her grinning slyly as she looked over her shoulder at him. “Perhaps I should be wet more often then,” she smirked, her words hinting to several meanings. She shivered when his teeth found her neck and bumped into his side playfully before swimming away, using her long legs to propel her away from him in a game of cat and mouse.

He could not help but laugh as the female nearly jumped right out of her skin at his sudden appearance. When she reprimanded him for it, he simply nipped and tugged lightly at her ear as if he were a pup that had little in the way of manners. Her words made him growl slightly in delight, but the next thing he knew she was swimming away from him, making him chuckle and growl playfully as he swam after her. He did not push to catch her quite yet, but he did duck under the water to swim up beneath her and nip at her paws gently to spook her if he could. The water was dark around her during the day, and it would be impossible to tell it was him in the darkness beneath her. But soon he needed to catch his breath and he swam up to her side to the surface, breaking into the air and gasping with a loud laugh as he looked over at her with the fur on his face soaked to the muscles and bone there.

Then his nose dipped slightly into the water to fling it towards her, sending droplets through the air towards her face as he started a play fight within the depths of the watering hole. They were no doubt disturbing anyone nearby, but the male did not care. This was his home, his part of Kairos, and he would do whatever he wanted here. After a few minutes he rolled onto his back in the water, kicking with his back legs and swimming a small circle around the female and nipping at her when he got close enough. "Don't start a battle you can't win, love." He teased, kicking away from her and sending water flying over her form in the process. Then he rolled back over and swam away, heading towards the shore where he frightened a flock of birds that took flight and complained loudly at him as they did so.

But he did not care. Instead he pulled himself up into the shallows, letting the water hold his fur against his bulky form as his wet tail wagged and sent water flying in all directions. He turned to look back at her, smirking and barking loudly at her, calling her out to him so that they could play in the shallows and not waste all their energy swimming in circles and toying with each other. He wanted to be close to her, he wanted to feel her against him, and he wanted to be able to actually catch her without risking drowning her in the deep water.

Avacyn had only been joking when she fussed at her mate but still, the way he tugged at her ear as if he didn’t hear a single word she had had said left her rolling her eyes. “Big goofball,” she laughed and returned the favor, pulling on his own ear. She smirked the moment she heard the growl that followed her response to his compliment. It was obvious that he had picked up on exactly what she had meant, she only hoped he would take her offer to heart. But before he could say anything, she had taken off. With her back to him, it was impossible to see what he was doing which was why he succeeded yet again, in scaring her when she felt something snap at her paws, her first thought being that it was a large fish.

“What did I tell you about scaring me?” she asked him the moment he came above the water trying her best to sound annoyed while hiding her laughter, “Shame on you.” Though as soon as he swam up next to her, she laid her head on his back with a soft claiming growl. “Mine,” she whispered before he decided to splash her. “Rude,” She chuckled before doing the same thing back and swimming away once more, trying to get out of reach of any more flying water. But, she was soon being circled by the larger male and she watched him with pure amusement, trying to swim away from his nips. “Oh I assure you I could win if I really wanted to,” she growled with a nod. “Besides, getting your attention is a win in and of itself,” she added with a smirk.

She frowned when he swam away but was quick to follow after him, wanting to stay right near him. “Come back here,” she called as she finally caught up to him. When he barked, she perked her ears and ran out of the water and onto the shores, bowing down in a playful manner with her tail wagging excitedly in the air behind her. She had enjoyed her time with her mate up until now but this was the first time they had actually relaxed and played together and she was enjoying it. She took a step forward and nipped at his back but then she was gone, running along the edge of the water away from her, her hips swaying teasingly.

Thankfully he did not have to wait long for the female to come bounding after him in the shallows. When she bowed down playfully, his excited growl reemerged and he wagged his tail, pouncing after her as she bolted along the shore beside the water. He was larger than her, and it was easy for him to keep up, but he did not bother catching her quite yet. He did, however, nip playfully at her tail ever once in a while, before he kicked harder against the wet ground and bounded up beside her where he could lick affectionately at her muzzle. But he was not done with her yet. He steered her carefully into the water slightly, so that her paws splashed the liquid as they hit the slightly covered ground beneath it.

Then he tackled her, carefully pinning her so that her muzzle was not in the water and so that he would not hurt her. Much. His playful growl echoed around them as he held her down with his larger form, unable to resist humping slightly at the pretty little form beneath him before he nipped and nibbled at her neck and the base of her ears. "I've got you." He growled into her ear, standing over her as if he was taking charge and demanding respect. He would never hurt her, for he disliked males that harmed females, but he could not help pretending.

But his tail wagged back and forth behind him the whole time. Her hips were in the water - thankfully - and this time her scent did not overwhelm him enough that he felt the need to enter her. Yet. For now he just enjoyed the closeness and his power over her, though he knew he did not need to force her to submit to him. Still, it felt good to stand over her and hold the dominance like he did, and he could feel himself swelling slightly in his sheath. He took a deep breath to calm himself and instead nipped at her nose playfully again, before nuzzling her chest affectionately and allowing his gentle growl to continue to rumble in his throat and chest.

The blue she wolf left out a joyous laugh as her mate bounded after her. Before her mate came along, it had been so long since she had felt truly happy and she was honestly falling even more in love with him for managing to keep her feeling such now that she was his. It was a very welcomed change. As she ran, she could feel the heat in her pumping veins begin to contradict the icy cold that her fur was feeling but she didn’t mind, it was feeling she enjoyed. She made a mental note to go on more nightly excursions with her mate.

Each time the male nipped at her tail, she slowed ever so slightly so that she could flick his muzzle with it before speeding back up again. It was a process that repeated itself a few times before Hektor finally picked up his pace and began running beside her. She growled softly at his affection and moved closer to him so that they were running pressed against each other. Returning back to her earlier thought, she knew it wasn’t an option, they would most definitely be going for more runs like this in the near future before she became too weighed down with pups. She was pulled out of her thoughts when she cold water lap at her paws once more.

Before she could register what was going on, she was being brought down and pinned in the shallows. She thrashed about and snarled playfully as she attempted to get free, biting at the air beside his muzzle and neck. It was all for show, of course, as the idea of being pinned and at the mercy of the male hovering above her was actually quite thrilling. When he nipped her neck, she tilted her head back, exposing even more of her neck and throat both submissively and to give him more space to bite. “So you do,” she said in confirmation, her voice taking on a dark but still playful tone. “What does the big bad wolf plan on doing with his pretty little damsel?” she asked with a tilt of her head, her eyes never leaving his. “Or are you too nice to do anything?” she asked with a cocky grin and a tone to match. The last time she played hard to get, she was disciplined for it. She really hoped this time would be different and that he would play along.

The male chuckled and held her still as she squirmed and snapped, playfully pretending to try and escape him. Although he could easily hold her in place even if she was trying to escape, he enjoyed the feeling of her smaller form squirming beneath him until she finally spoke and made him smirk down at her. "Hmmm, several things come to mind." He teased, nibbling down her neck and to her chest, before lifting his head and stepping off of her slowly. Then he circled her, growling low and threatening in his throat before he reached out a paw to push against her chest and push her over onto her side. He liked being able to push her around, but he was careful about it, not wanting to harm her in any way. "Any suggestions?" He asked, winking at her and letting his wet tail flick back and forth behind him as he slowly began to circle her once more.

He watched her as if she were prey, an elusive target that it was his life's mission to capture. But he already had her. He smiled darkly as he moved towards her, letting his muzzle run along the entire length of her body as slowly as possible while nibbling at her skin every once in a while before he made it to the base of her tail. He then lowered his head into the water, pressing his nose under her tail for a brief moment before opening his jaws and taking her tail into his mouth to tug lightly on it in order to drag her up onto her feet. He was careful, of course, but persistent as he pulled her back further into the water until she was standing in front of him and still firmly within his jaws.

"Mmm, that's a good girl." He said, releasing her tail and bumping his chest up against her back end, only to move alongside her and rest his head over her shoulders both with affection and dominance. His eyes closed as he sighed heavily, leaning into her and letting his tail wag and bump lightly against hers as he enjoyed the closeness. A'ia had never let him do this with her, and though he probably should have been sleeping, he was not at all tired yet. Instead, he could not help but think about how much fun it would be to take her in the water. Would it even be possible? He frowned and looked out at the deep behind them, his ears perked and tail now still as he contemplated the possibility.

When the male began to play along, Avacyn’s smirk grew even wider as she contemplated just how far she would go. After all, though she was, at all times, more than willing to submit to him, she knew it could also be fun to occasionally push buttons and reap the consequences that would come from it. “Oh pray tell,” she said with a curious tilt of her head. Now was not the time she wanted him to hold back or to keep ideas from her. She wanted to know what all her mate was capable of, of course, in a good way. But really, it was more than a want. The way her body ached and the heat beneath her tail grew, she knew it was more of a need.

As he nibbled over her neck and down her chest it took everything she had not to beg him to already take her. But, this would be the third time they would be having fun together and she was not going to break easily no matter how much restraint it took. She watched as he circled moved back, instantly rolling from her back to her stomach with her legs tucked under her, ready to run at the first possible time. Though, before she could, he was pushing back onto her side as if he knew her intentions. For the time being, she would behave and she stayed in the position he put her in. She thought about his question carefully for several moments, deciding if she should speak her mind and let him in on her thoughts or if she should just see where the night went. But eventually, she decided there was no point in holding back. “I think you should try to break me,” she spoke quietly and with a soft growl. How he decided to interpret her words were up to him but she knew exactly what she meant.

She saw the look he gave her, one that made him seem like an apex predator standing above delicious prey. She growled, though her eyes twinkled with delight. As he smiled darkly and made his back towards her, she moved back from her side onto her stomach, ready to make her escape once more. As he ran his muzzle down along her form, she could feel herself grow tense as she tried to stop herself from shivering. He was so darn irresistible she wasn’t sure how long she could keep up the act. She gasped as she felt his muzzle under her tail but just as she was about to run, he grabbed hold of her tail. She knew there was no point at trying for an escape at the current moment so instead, she did what he wanted and backed up until she was standing.

“Only sometimes,” she said with a smirk, perking her ears when he let go of her tail. She debated making her escape right then but before she could, the male’s softer side came out and he laid his head over her back. She waited like that for a few moments, enjoying the closeness and comfort of her mate. But at last, she took her opportunity, running forward back onto the dry land, keeping her tail raised so that her scent would hit him. Would he take her up on her advice of what she should do? She didn’t know but she certainly hoped so and she was about to find out. “Surely, the big bad wolf isn’t going to let his prey get away that easily?” She asked in mocking voice, a smirk on her face but her eyes alive with pure delight.

The male had never been fond of Avacyn's antics, especially when she toyed with him. It frustrated him, really, but for the most part she behaved. However, when he rested his head on her back and she took off, he grumbled softly in irritation. At the words she threw back at him, he snarled at her in response but did not move, and instead he watched her move away, knowing that he had broken her a long time ago. She would not go far, especially if she carried his pups. She would come crawling back no matter what he did or said, and even if she did not, he still had A'ia. Still, he knew the competition between the two females was one of the things that kept Avacyn's attention so heavily on him. Instead of chasing after her he sat, tilting his head and watching her silently to see how long it would take her to stop.

He was not one to chase after what he wanted, and if it did not come to him then it was not worth his time. The females of Kairos did most of the hunting, so it was even rare that he would have to chase anything for a meal. So, instead of giving her any more attention, the male leaned back into his sit, lifting his hind leg and scratching absently at his ear before lowering his head to lick at his sheath to clean a bit of dirt from the fur there. He had played with her already today, and if she no longer wished to cooperate, he could make her regret it later. But he would not run after her in order to do so. She would come back to him, and she would eventually learn that was where she was meant to be.

He would not let her manipulate him, nor did he find the fact that she tired at all attractive. It was frustrating and irritating, really, and he made a note to crush any rebellion within her as soon as he could. He would make her want him so much that she would bend to every one of his whims. He would make her squirm and beg, and he would enjoy every second of it. His darker side seemed to come out more often with Avacyn than it did with A'ia, but he supposed they were two very different females and they would require two very different ways of handling. He could be rougher with Avacyn, and so far she did not seem to dislike anything he had done or said to her.

The moment Avacyn heard the snarl that escaped her mate’s lips, she immediately came to a screeching stop. After all, she was only playing in her rebellion against her mate, absolutely nothing she had done or said along those lines had been true. For she was submissive. In fact, she was happier being submissive than anything else. But, even she needed a break from always bending to the rules of others. She needed a chance to rebel and to have fun, even if it was in a playful manner. But, no matter how hard she tried, it didn’t seem like she was going to get that break from her mate.

With a disheartened sigh, she moved back towards the male that was now sitting and waiting, making absolutely no effort to come to her or meet her half way. She was still more than excited to have him near and she still very much wanted him but without a doubt, she was disappointed that their games had ended so soon. It wasn’t the way she had hoped the night would go but as this was her second time acting up and frustrating her mate, she knew she deserved whatever consequence might be thrown at her.

With her tail tucked between her legs and her eyes and head lowered, she moved to stand in front of her mate. She licked his muzzle affectionately before apologizing, “I’m sorry my love, I don’t mean to upset you, I just like to have fun every once in a while,” she said before looking up at him, “Forgive me?” She hoped the answer to that would be yes for she desperately didn’t want the night to end so soon, and especially not on a foul mood. As she waited for his response, she nuzzled herself up under his chin and breathed in his scent with another sigh.

Thankfully, he did not have to wait long for the steely blue female to come crawling back to him. Instead of hold onto his irritation and frustration when she approached and apologized, he instead pushed himself to his feet and began to groom her instead. She had rebelled, yes, but she had returned to him without him having to order her to or him having to chase her down. That was all he wanted in that moment. So he figured he would reward her for her submission and obedience instead of punish her for running away from him. "Good girl." He said, unable to resist the words as he hummed softly and let his tail sway behind him in a relaxed manner. "It is late, we should be heading back." He said, nudging her shoulder and herding her gently back towards their den. He was growing tired and he knew he would need to rest before the sun came up and he had to be back on patrol.

"Come, Little Moon, time to get some sleep." He said, deciding to give her a nickname fitting for her preference to stay up late. Plus, the moonlight was rather beautiful above them. Still, he yawned loudly and turned toward the caves, using his body to guide hers to where he wanted it to go and left her little option but to go in whatever direction he wished. Their den was not far, and though it was more hers than it was his, he still slept there on occasion with her. Eventually he hoped to share a den with A'ia as well, but for now he would settle for at least one of the females wanting to sleep beside him. When he pushed into the entrance of the cave he expected her to follow, and he wasted no time in sprawling out on the bedding that she had gathered within.

It was comfortable and warm, and though he was not exactly cold, his coat was still a bit damp from their swim earlier that night. He yawned loudly again, this time a bit more exaggerated, and stretched to show off his muscles before he rested his head on his paws and waited for her to join him. "You know, once you are carrying my pups you will need to actually rest at a proper time." He said, closing his eyes and flicking his ear at a tiny bug that buzzed irritatingly around it. "You will need your rest to help the young ones grow." He said, and with that he began to slowly doze off, tired from playing and not getting much sleep before he had followed her. There would be more time to spend together in the morning, but for now he wanted to rest, and it was up to her whether she slept or not, but he did expect her to remain beside him regardless.

She was relieved when he forgave her and almost instantly began to groom her. She knew though that she could not continue to rebel against him even if she was just playing for it was clear he was not a fan and she already had two strikes. Getting a third strike was not something she wanted at all for she had a feeling the outcome would be much different than the current situation. She shivered at the praise that she was given and growled softly in contentment. She never realized how much she enjoyed being praised until he had come in the picture. “Very well,” she nodded when told it was time to turn in for the night and began to follow behind him.

The next statement from her mate left her with perked ears as she thought about the new nickname she was being given. She liked it as she was little, at least compared to him, and they both apparently rather enjoyed being out under the moon. It was a rather fitting name if she might say so herself. Moving closer to him, she stayed pressed against him all the way back to their den. It was a small den but it served the purposes she needed it for and the small size of it only gave her more reason to curl up tighter against her mate.

When they finally arrived, she was quick to crawl in behind him and even faster to curl up beside him. She was always eager to curl up to her mate, never wanting to waste a single moment when he was around. “I know my dear, and I will,” she said with a nod to his lesson about going to bed on time once she became pregnant. For while she had never been a mother before, she did have some ideas of the things she would need to do and she was sure instincts would take over once she started carrying. But in the meantime, she would enjoy her time with her mate. “Good night my love,” she yawned and licked his muzzle before nuzzling her head under his and drifting off to sleep.

She slept soundly through the night, only waking once and managing to fall right back to sleep the moment she realized Hektor was still curled protectively around her. By the time the first rays of light shown through the den’s entrance, she was awake and well rested. Though she laid with her mate for a few moments, she was soon quietly getting to her feet and stretching, careful not to wake him. Slowly she made her way out of the den, giving her eyes a few moments to adjust to the brightness, and ran into the trees nearby. She knew he would soon be waking up to go on patrol and she wanted to surprise him with a fresh breakfast.

Thankfully, it wasn’t long before she caught the scent of a fox up ahead. Silently, she crouched down and began stalking forward, careful to keep her steps as quiet as possible if not silent. When the fox finally came into view, she could tell he had no idea that she was there as he was snacking on a hare it seemed he had also just killed. She couldn’t help but chuckle at that irony. After taking a few more careful steps forward, she was close enough to lunge and she did exactly that. Using her long legs to push her off the ground, she propelled herself forward, running at lightning speed as the fox caught scent of her and began to make his escape. However, she was already closing in and after just a few more moments managed to catch up and bring him down. Grabbing his throat with her jaws, she shook her head and tightened her grip, not releasing him until she was sure he was dead.
