When the Ulfric had answered her, Vashti's serious expression had molded into one of confusion, then surprise and gratitude. Her eyebrows raised and she held herself from staring at the older male.
He had mentioned her staying with them.....forever.....
The mere thought of being a part of the pack again; within the order of domination and working alongside her kin. Vashti was a social soul, and the time she had spent alone out in the wilderness had been like hell.
Aside her underlying need to feel a part of something, Vashti still sought a mate…..despite what had happened to her in the past. Without a pack her chances of finding her mate was slimmed to almost nothing.
Standing there, Vashti looked up when the Ulfric called to someone who had been waiting nearby. The pink haired woman had entered and made her way to him; almost immediately confirming Vashti’s suspicion the moment it arose. She could smell her scent and watch her actions as the female rested her hands against the male’s shoulders. She was his mate….
Tilting her head to one side Vashti studied them for a moment, watching the bond between them. But then there was an agonizing howl; one that made her jump and let out a sharp growl to no one in particular.
The Ulfric reacted similarly, but stood and announced he had to leave. Vashti heard him direct his mate to remain at the house, and saw them share a quiet moment; heart swelling in admiration of the bond they shared.
But then, the Lupa mentioned something Vashti had hoped to never hear. A hunter was here amongst the pack.
At that moment two figures appeared outside the kitchen doorway and Vashti tensed; smelling the second’s scent to be human. Her eyes burned and she stared at the figure, before shaking it off and turning to the Ulfric as he prepared to leave, “If it is any reassurance; I’ll make sure to keep an eye on things while you are absent…..I would be happy to help after the kindness you and your pack have shown me.”
Standing straight she nodded to him, then glanced back at the hunter with a wary expression. She knew what they could do…..
