Winter had taken a harsh toll on the Marino woman, and it was only recently that she was truly feeling herself again. First it had been Artemis' fall and Denali's disappearance, then the blizzard, and finally the blow that had torn a permanent chunk out of her heart: the knowledge her son had been murdered. The puffy pink scars that stood out starkly against her ebony coat would be always be a reminder of that day. Sometimes she wondered whether or not the she-devil had died of her wounds. Savina hoped she had. She pictured the red eyed demon bleeding to death alone out in the snow, suffering. It was no more than that horrid woman deserved.
Now was not the time for such dark thoughts though. It was summer now and the sun shone down freely upon the Dreaming lands. Not only that, but tonight was the night she had planned to spend exclusively with Kansas. Ever since the tragedies of winter, the mated pair had not gotten to spend much time together at all except when they were together at Artemis' bedside or falling asleep in their bed at night. Then when she had finally cast of the cloak of her grief she had put her energy and focus into the pack as a whole, making certain that everything was as it should be. Tonight would be a reunion of sorts for the ying and yang lovers.
Savina had been tidying up around the Manor when she looked outside and realized it was time to meet with her mate. Quickly the Italian fey finished what she had been doing and with a smile stepped outside into the fresh summer air. Emerald orbs sparkled as she beheld Kansas standing at the foot of the porch with his strong, tall horse beside him. The raven beauty swept down the steps and planted a kiss on her mate's cheek. So, what do you have planned for us mio amore? she asked as she drank his handsome face in with her eyes.
