Cerberus had been so intent on playing that he’d nearly missed Insomnia’s compliment. What had she called him? ‘Sweet’? Perhaps others had called him that, but he couldn’t recall at the moment, and because of this, Cerberus was quite flattered. His smile grew wider still as he bounded through the meadow, straying from his path only once in order to hide behind a bush. Lowering down to the ground, his ivory belly brushed the grass and he forced his breathing to quiet, watching closely for the she-wolf.
Ceri’s injuries had healed quite well in the time he’d taken to rest. He’d managed to tug the stitches out with his teeth without causing too much damage to the scabbing flesh, and now only time and a careful disposition would seal the marks for good. This he was grateful for, otherwise he would have been in incredible pain in such a hunched position, his muscles tense after escaping Insomnia’s grasp. And with his healing wounds, followed his healing heart. He’d come to an acceptance of Ciara’s newfound mate, and now he only wished her the best. In an odd way, he had also come to see her as more of a little sister than a prospect for love, and looked back on their time together as nothing more than a friendly frolic. Besides, he enjoyed moments like these where he could flirt and play with a she-wolf without worrying about how he’d explain such play to a wolfess waiting for him back home. He was wild and free; running with the wind and sleeping under the stars. As far as he was concerned, no one could tame him.
A moment or two passed before Cerberus chanced a peek around the edge of the bush. He could sense that Insomnia was near, but he wasn’t entirely sure where she was. His impatience finally got the better of him, and he leapt out from his cover in order to locate his ‘little nurse.’
