He was already in a crazed state as he pounded into the camp, his head whipping around frantically as he took in the damage that the invaders had done to the camp. He had killed two that were coming out of the camp before advancing forward, he was worried that Catherine and some of his pack members were injured or worse, dead. He tried not to linger on that thought as he moved through the camp, watching as bodies were hauled out of the camp and into the woods, his pack members would never disrespect their own in such a way so it was definitely the invaders bodies they were dragging away. He pushed by several groups, still looking for Catherine until he neared his own den and saw that she holding open the flap that led into his own den, his pace picked up then slowed down as he realized that her gaze was attached to something on the ground. He too peered down and saw that there was a body of a grey lycanthrope there just barely inches away from the den. He walked closer to her and slipped a comforting arm around her waist to pull her closer as one of his members dragged the body away into the forest where they would dump them and let the bodies rot or be eaten by carrion scavengers. They did not deserve a fight ritual where their spirits would join the moon goddess, instead they would haunt the lands with their sorrow till they simply vanished from the earth itself.

Catherine let out an audible sigh burying her head in his chest. Her heart was still racing at the thought of the grey wolf's golden eyes staring up at her. Never having spilled an ounce of someone else's blood before much less killed someone. Looking up at him she reached up to touch the gash on his face. "Are you alright?" She asked quietly her blue eyes sparkling with concern. Her eyes caught the movement outside as they drug the body of the large grey wolf away into the forest. "I think everyone is okay I don't know for sure. There was that wolf that came in. Then he found me and I managed to get away." She muttered not finishing what had happened after that. She left that hanging in the air since she was still too scared to say it outloud. "I tried to stay in the den and I wish I could have helped more..." She trailed off looking nervously at the ground hating the fact she was so defenseless. She couldn't defend herself when she was kidnapped and it was only pure luck she hadn't been killed by the Lycanthrope intruder. Shifting slightly strands of hair fell into her eyes.
-
He touched the gash on his face as his eyebrows furrowed together, he hadn't even noticed that he had some wounds, he faintly put pressure on a deep gash on his abdomen that was hidden and shrugged at her concerned question. "I'm fine, how about you, you're hurt as well." He swiped some blood off of her own forehead while his eyes watched the liquid. "I think everyone is okay, I didn't see any of my people dead, if any had then there would be ceremonial bonfires but that isn't the case." He glanced about as he saw the medics tending to the wounded or shaken up, these attacks were happening more recently then ever before so something was obviously going on that were causing these attacks. His father would probably leave early in the morning to have a discussion with the alpha of the intruding pack and make a deal with him or destroy him, which ever option came up that seemed to be the best out of the two. "Shush, I'm sure you did all that you could." He hugged her tighter against him as he glanced at one of the medics that seemed to glare at him with disdain. Relationships with humans was a sign of weakness to the Lycanthrope community, showing this much affection openly with Catherine to everyone that saw them would clearly show disdain from others but at the moment he didn't give a damn, he only cared about her wellbeing.
-
She watched him touch the wound on his abdomen. She furrowed her brow clearly believing that he was not alright. Wincing as he touched the bump on her head. She touched the scratch that was bleeding. "It is just a little cut when I fell." She explained it away not really feeling it at all. Glancing around camp she saw the medic glaring at them. Bitting her lip she knew why. She wanted to push away but, couldn't bring herself to do it. Softly drawing in a breath she shook her head slightly. "I could have done more." She muttered softly wishing she had seen the attack coming. Furrowing her brow she shook her head again. Maybe if she had tried harder then she could have seen it coming and warned them. Even if there was no major deaths she was useless if she couldn't see things like this coming. The next time the camp was invaded much more blood was going to be spilled. Her eyes got a bit misty as she looked at the medic for a long moment tipping her head. "Tell the medics to stock up on Feverfew some pups will come down with fevers soon." She said softly blinking her eyes a few time before her eyes cleared and she looked back up blankly at him.
-
He smiled a little then ruffled her hair in a loving playful manner before he stepped away and winced as his adrenaline started to diminish to the point that the pain was almost over whelming. A medic immediately came over at the look on his face that portrayed his pain. She pulled his soaked shirt up so that his muscular abdomen was on display, a long gash made its way from his armpit down to his hip. Most of clothes was soaked in blood but most of it was from his kills instead of the wound. The medic pulled out a needle and a tread of fiber that they used to stitch up deep wounds like his. She quickly stitched up the wound as the best she could while giving him a couple of herbs for the pain and a ointment that she plastered on the festering red wound. He thanked her as he ground his teeth, attempting to ignore the pain as he closed his eyes. "Well your highness, now since that's taken care of how about we go take a stroll down to the meadow. I'm tired of seeing so much blood shed for one day." He started to head down a path, hand still on the wound that was open to the fresh air since the medic took the soaked shirt back to the cleaners to be washed.
-
Stepping back when he seemed in a great amount of pain. She frowned when the medic came over. She prayed that he would be alright. She watched as the medic worked tipping her head to the side watching everything go down. Once the medic was finished she nodded quickly already ready to have a change of scenery. "I couldn't agree more good sir." She said trying to sound as regal as she could. Being a princess made it where she could make even silly things sounds important. Smiling as she stretched she wiped the blood from her eyes. "Will you be okay?" She asked looking at the open wound. Then she realized that she was staring at his bare chest. Turning bright red she looked away not wanting to stare to long. Clearing her throat she looked around ideally. "I can't get over how pretty everything." She sighed happily ignoring the puddles of blood as they passed by.
-
He couldn't help but chuckle a little at her question, of course he would be alright after all Lycanthropes had a very fast regenerative ability so the gash on his face and side would heal within twenty four hours and he'd be right as rain besides the fact that the wound on his side would turn into a scar since the medic had to attend to it which meant that it was too deep for him to go unscathed. He couldn't help but notice her checking out his chest and abs which was a six pack but he wasn't the one to brag about his amazing physic which could be classified as better than most. But instead of teasing her for checking him out he dropped the subject that was lingering on his tongue but instead agreed that it was indeed beautiful. "Very, the flowers are still blooming where we're walking to. It'll probably be the last time we see them before the snows head this way unfortunately." The meadow was also a beautiful place to go to around spring time, that was where most males of his pack brought their females to make them their mates well ask them anyways. It was up to the female if she wanted the man or not.
-
Still a bit embarrassed at being caught she looked down ideally at the flowers in their last bloom. She hummed softly trying to to get the redness in her face to go away. "I am surprised that there are even still flowers in bloom. They don't last nearly this long near the castle. They only seem to live until early fall." She sighed picking some of the slightly wilting flowers. Her eyes focused on the flowers as he fingers worked with ease. After picking a few more flowers she proudly showed off her creation. A flower crown of different colors. She smiled widely clearly proud of it. Holding on to it she walked along the redness finally leaving her face. Sighing as she looked at the beautiful landscape that was spread out before her. She gasped her eyes going wide. "It is so pretty here!" She exclaimed glancing back with him her face lit up with amazement. Giggling she laid down in the soft grass looking up at sky.
-
A charming smile was on his face as he followed her deeper into the woods until the trees began to thin out and reveal a meadow filled with all types of blooming flowers that were starting to wilt and die off. He looked up at the darkening sky and sighed blissfully as he saw that some of the stars were beginning to appear in the night sky. After standing for a while he too laid down next to Catherine, letting the gentle breeze play with his hair. He closed his eyes as a smile still remained on his lips, he loved coming here when the sun was just beginning to go down so that he could bring in all the scents and hear the rustling of the grasses. It was peaceful here and that was what he loved most about this place plus it was a sacred ground where no hunting was allowed. Deer gave birth in this field and this was where his ancestors first put camp up to live in the new wild lands that they nothing about. He took in a deep breath, appreciating the flowers smell as he reopened his eyes and pointed to a constellation. "That's the great hunter, he helps us lead our great hunts and take down the powerful moose and that is Amoux, the Eagle Wolf, he helps us chase down our prey." He pointed to the second constellation then trailed off as he stared up at the appearing stars.
-
The faint stars that were present reflected back in her sky blue eyes. Reaching a hand up towards the sky as if grabbing something illusion be a ghost of a smile appeared on her lips. Closing her hand she sat up as he laid down. When he closed his eyes she quickly shifted grabbing the flower crown beside her. While his eyes were closed she gently placed it on his head smiling brightly before laying back down beside him. She nodded listening to the different names of the constellations. Pointing up at a distant constellation she smiled brightly. "Isn't that the, I don't remember how to say it but, it means mother." She said waving her finger frustrated she couldn't remember how she had been told to say it. It had been years since she had actually been told it. On a night like this someone had pointed up at the sky and told her what each constellation meant to them and she did the same in return. Fiddling with the lopsided wolf around her neck she gave a slight sad sigh still looking up at the sky. To distract herself she traced the constellations with her fingers tracking heroes across the sky.
-
Sorry for not replying sooner, been kinda busy >.<//
He gave her a playful glare when she settled the flower crown upon his head, he didn't make a move to remove the flower crown from his head but instead folded his hands onto his revealed abdomen as he continued to gaze up towards the sky, his eyes taking in the stars as a blissful sigh left his parted mouth. He rolled over so that he was on his side and facing Catherine, a mischievous glint entered his eyes as he pushed himself forward so that he hovered above her, both of his hands on either side of her head. He leaned down so that their lips were just inches apart, his breathing came out evenly as his eyes seemed to glow as the sun hide behind the hills. He leaned closer then quickly put his lips on her neck and breathed outward so that a sound that could resemble a "fart" could be heard loudly. He pulled back so that he could laugh, his eyes twinkled with merriment though it cut off short as he looked at Catherine, his eyes seemed to glow brighter as his breath caught and seemed to slow down so that he was barely breathing at all.
-
(It's fine ^^)
Catching him rolling over and look at her. Curious she turned her head to look at him giggling at the flower crown on his head. It was still hilarious to her. Blinking in surprise when he pushed himself up just above her. Looking up at him she wasn't exactly sure what to make of it. As he got closer she tipped her head to the side. She was still didn't know what he was up to but, didn't trust him at all. When he leaned forwards and made a farting sound in her neck she started laughing since it tickled when she did it. When he started laughing too she rolled her blue eyes looking up at him crossing her arms over her chest. "You are so immature." She snorted before quickly breaking down into a laughing fit. Once she stopped she looked up at him giving a rueful smile. Sitting up so she was only a couple inches from his face she looked at him playfully. Wrapping her arms around his neck she leaned forward and kissed him on the side of his lips and fell back to the ground still smiling all the while.
-
Oh yeah, do you know anyone who would do a Anthro RP?//
A growl rumbled in his throat after she had kissed him just beside his lips, she was a tease and that only ignited his want to capture a true kiss from her. He leaned down to plant a kiss on her neck which then turned to trailing kisses up her neck so that he could place a kiss upon her cheek. "Alright you teaser, let's head to where I want to take you since we're already out of camp." He pushed himself up into a standing position then helped Cat up as well before he quickly jogged back to the camp to grab the rope that they had talked about earlier. He quickly jogged back with a rope hanging from his shoulder, he slowed down once she came into view. He sided up next to her and placed a hand onto her lower back as he guided her to the place that he wanted to take her. After a while of walking he pushed past a pile of rocks then pulled back what seemed like a rock slab to reveal a cavern that looked like a mythical world. Trees grew around the crystal clear pool of water while rays of sunlight shone down from a single hole in the rock masses that covered this hidden world. A waterfall proudly sat near the back as fire bugs lit up the dark surroundings. He looked over at Catherine as if hoping for her approval of the place that he chose to take her to.
-
Smiling softly she rose to her feet and dusked off some of the pieces of flowers that were stuck to her clothes. "I can't make it too easy." Unbraiding her hair while he ran back to camp her hair fell in ringlets behind her petals littering her hair from when she had been laying in them. She waited until he came back before following his guidance to this secret spot. She was kind of excited to see this place looking around her as they went trying to pick out where they were. She leaned against him slightly as they walked in peaceful silence. Coming up on the rock pile she looked at him curiously wondering how he had found such a place that was so tucked out of the way. Slowly walking through the caves she gasped at what she saw on the other side. It looked like something out of a fairytale and she was echanted with it. Turning she tried to take it all in. Turning back to look at him her eyes were brought to life sparkling with excitement. "It is incredible." She whispered abruptly turning and wrapping him in a hug.
(I can't think of anyone)
-
He hugged her back before he moved away to attach the rope to a tree branch that hung over the crystal clear lake, after tugging the rope to make sure it was secure he quickly pulled his pants off so that he was only dressed in cloth shorts. He winked at Catherine before he grabbed the rope and stepped back several inches before lunging off of the cliff face. With a whoop of excitement he let go of the rope once he was far enough out from the cliff face, there a weightless moment before gravity took control and made him plummet to the surface of the water like a rock. After several seconds he resurfaced and pushed back his wet hair with a bright smile on his face. "That was exhilarating!" Happiness brightened his usual rough features as he paddled backwards to keep himself afloat. He had never done something like this before so it was a new experience that he instantly cherished, besides he was glad that he was doing something with Cat, it made the moment even more cherishable. Perhaps because he wasn't doing it alone but he knew it was because he was doing something with her.
-
When he took off his pants and was left only in cloth shorts she blinked with a soft bashful smile. Watching him make his way up the cliff face and jump down. Covering her eyes she didn't watch him as fell since his cloth short didn't cover much. Hearing the thud she moved her hands away from her eyes laughing as she saw him come back up. "I told you that was fun! It's even more fun when you have a whole bunch of ropes." Deciding she could leave him to all the fun she slipped off her heavier shirt to reveal the light white undershirt she wore from home. She still wore her leather pants since she didn't have any shorts. Slipping off her boots she ran up the cliff. She smiled brightly before taking a running start before leaping into the air and catching the rope. Dropping into the water she emerged laughing her eyes twinkling. Swimming over to him she came closer her blue eyes shining. It made her beyond happy to see him so alive. It made her feel that much more alive herself. It had been forever since she had this much fun. She wrapped her arms around his neck to help her stay above the water.
-
With a chuckle he looped his arms around her waist while he used his long muscular legs to keep both of them afloat, he twirled in the water as he smiled down at Cat. He truly did feel alive doing something that he clearly enjoyed, with the duties that came with his rank gave him plenty to stress about so doing something that let him express himself made him happy. He still kept one arm looped around Cat as he used his other arm to pedal them backwards towards the waterfall that raged on just behind them. He covered her head with his arm as he pushed past the sheet of water that pounded down on his exposed skin, with another kick of his feet he pushed them into the cave where they could sit upon ledges that jutted from the side of the cave. Inside there was glowing bugs who fluttered about which helped light up the dark surroundings. He picked her up as gently as he could as he set her upon one of the ledges. He pulled himself half way up so that he was leaning all of his weight onto his arms. "So your majesty, are you having a splendid time?" A teasing glint entered his eyes as he kept his distance by a few inches.
-
Holding on tightly to him she laughed the entire way. She leaned against him when they passed under the waterfall. This was absolutely beautiful to her she looked around at the ledges around the cave. Everything was incredible and she couldn't believe it all. From the dark thick stone walls she lived in most of her life in to the amazing forest that she had always been told was dangerous. It was as dangerous as anywhere else in the world but, there wasn't much more amazing then right here. Looking back at him as she was lifted up on to one of the ledges. "I could not imagine anything more amazing then this." She laughed kicking her legs in the water. She was starting to shiver a bit sitting on the cold stone. Moving closer to him she smiled up at him.
-
His smile was genuine as his eyes seemed to sparkle, he knew exactly what she meant because he too loved how amazing this place was. "I love coming here when all of the stress of my rank gets to me. It's simply magical here." He looked about the surroundings with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but love each time he came here because of the beauty that this place holds. It means so much to him which was why he didn't mind showing Cat this special place that held a place in his heart. He looped a warm arm around her waist as he pulled himself up beside her, he always radiated excessive heat which he hoped would warm her shivering frame up a little. He maneuvered himself around her so that he sat behind her, he rested his chin on her shoulder as he wrapped his other arm around her, his legs dangled besides hers, his feet swishing gently in the flowing lake. He closed his eyes as a hum rumbled in his throat, it was a happy sound even though it could sound threatening. He moved his chin closer to her neck as he blew out sharply, he concentrated on warming her up with his own body so that she could be a little bit more comfortable so that she could enjoy what little time that they had here together.
-
"I could stay right here forever." She snuggled closer to his arm since he was much warmer and it helped warm her up. Yawning she look down into the water looking at the reflection of the two of them. Splashing her feet in the water quietly she snuggled up against him feeling much better now. "Thank you for bringing me here." She muttered softly with a loud yawn with a soft smile. She was happier now then she had been in so long. Her brown hair was dripping so she moved it to the side laying against him. "You're really warm." She said a bit tiredly feeling completely safe in his arms. Her eyes studied him for a few long moments blinking a few times. With a tired somewhat michevious smile. Without thinking she turned to face him and out a light kiss on his lips before laying her head on his chest. If she had been thinking clearer she probably wouldn't have done what she just did but, she was caught up in the moment. She had already begun to fall asleep. Opening her eyes she looked up at him biting her lip. "Sorry." She seemed to relaize what she had just done.
