Avery glared at Nero, debating on what would happen if he threw Nero. In the end he heaved a heavy sigh and stared at the ceiling. Avery shut the bike off and hooked his helmet on the handlebars. 

[color=#B0C4DE]”What do you want, Nero?”[/color]

Caden followed the sound of his mate's voice and the motorcycle noise to the garage. He stalked inside and stood a few feet away. 

Avery looked at Caden and immediately looked away. Caden's eyes were yellow as he stared Avery down. 

[color=#006400]”Give me one good reason why I shouldn't snap that precious bike of yours in half and then kick your ass across this property.”[/color] 

[color=#B0C4DE]”She can't–”[/color]

[color=#006400]”No. She can. I've known her longer than you, Zain. She knows how to protect herself and she knows how to fight. If you were surrounded by an entire wolfpack, you wouldn't have made it out either. This is supposed to be [I]training[/I]. You are making it seem like she is going to war. She knows she is safe and learning. She's also a fox, if you forgot. Foxes are playful by nature. It's training but it's also play.”[/color]

Cassiopeia was ready to answer Kimiko but when Nic picked Kimiko up she decided to wait. Cassi paused to watch Nic take Kimiko from her. She smiled slowly, falling just a little more in love with him. 

She got up from the floor and saw Kimiko's red face. 

[color=#DB7093]”Ya, he does that,”[/color] Cass said and patted Kimiko's arm. 

When they walked into the hallway, Cassi scanned the area to make sure Avery didn't decide to come back inside. The last thing they needed was Avery attacking Nic because he was carrying Kiki. 

Cassi followed along behind and shut the door behind them once they were in the greenhouse. She lit the candles from earlier and grabbed some lavender to burn as well. 

[color=#DB7093]”The mate bond is important and stronger than any marriage contract. It's binding and unyielding. It is all consuming and exhilarating,”[/color] Cassi started to say, teaching both Nic and Kiki. [color=#DB7093]”If a bond is blocked it can be detrimental to the relationship and the individuals. If it is blocked for long periods of time, the bond could be severed. But that would have to be years and years. Caden and I had started the process before I backed out. I set up a block against him and over time our ‘contract’, if you will, with each other was ended. For you and Avery as your bond is complete, that missing link would be like missing half your heart, half your soul. If it goes on for too long, well… I've heard of wolves dying,”[/color] Cassi said truthfully. [color=#DB7093]”But what Avery has done is cruel and unfair. If you are two made into one, he is forcing you into two again and that can be painful. He's being a complete selfish prick and Caden is going to kick his ass,”[/color] Cassi said before she sat on the couch next to Kimiko.
