The new sound of muffled mewls from the small cubs itched in his ears. He hoped he would be able to get used to it so that it easily could be filtered away as background noise. Right now it just wanted to flatten his ears and shove the things outside. Not really, but he was aware that it would take a while before he managed to be in the house without a heavy feeling in his middle floor. He was still oblivious to the reason why his iron willed female had decided to have the children in his cabin when she had avoided ever since it started to go really wrong between them. He believed it had been a conscious thing, a choice the Sadira woman had made. He did not know it had been the only available option because she had been closest to his home when the birth had been close. She was not happy with him, but his house had been blessedly empty for other members these last days, and that was the main reason why he had decided to show his face again around here. Svara was at least still on his side, despite the fact that his whole pack seemed to believe he would be a danger to the puppies. Did they not know he was sworn to protect Dahlia? Then why would he run around and kill the newest life born of the glorious flower? They weren’t wanted in his life, but they were fresh members of Dahlia, and at some point they would grow up and help strengthen the flower power pack.
Her words stung a bit, and he gritted his teeth silently. He did not remove his gaze from her. Usually, Haku had no issues with confrontations, but Firefly made it ten times harder than with any other wolf. Perhaps it was because she was his mate, and once he believed they actually had loved each other. He doubted his own ability to love, but there had definitely been something between them. Even he could notice that, and that fact alone had caused him to ask for her hand. It had been a mistake, but what else could he do than to try to fix it as best he could? He was tired of the conflicts he had made for himself, but he could not fix it alone. He had gotten into it alone, but he needed help to escape it. Her question was a hard one. Haku did not lie, and he would not change his mind. That was not the issue. The real problem was that he strayed from his own beliefs. He had always been a ladies’ man. His core was rotten, but the outside was an uncommonly attractive colour accompanied by clean features and a gaze one easily could drown in. It did not help that he seemed to quickly get attracted to exceptionally beautiful and/or special females. Firefly was a rare flower in many ways, but her personality could be foul just like his. The rest of them were moon and stars and galaxies. Beautiful.
”I will not change my mind.” He would do his best to stay on the righteous path. For her. |
