Sirius by Nat


That gaze of ruby and violet was cast away from his bitter words, and in spite of any attempts on the behalf of the blonde male, it was clear to Sirius that his threats were of no value. It was difficult for the monarch to reign in his anger - Words had always found purchase on the minds of his followers before. He had never met a creature like Itachi, so invulnerable to the venom of the serpent, so unmoved by the constant threat of his own mortality. For a moment, even as he spoke, Sirius considered the possibility that his own grasp of dominance over the other male was merely a show, merely a role that Itachi was filling until something of greater importance came along.


But, aha! Narrowed eyes glittered with victory as the blank portrait of the other suddenly frosted over. Everything changed in that instant, the instant when Sirius realized exactly the value of China Rose Lykoi - The fury in his eyes turned to cruel green flames of triumph. Ah, yes, the serpent had found something to sink his fangs into - Something that was not resilient to his venom. As quickly as it had come, the sinking feelings of doubt fled back to the recesses of the man's wicked mind. He had control over Itachi once more; A more permanent, more deadly, control.


The tension in his muscled oozed out into lucidness, his posture reclaiming an Alpha's stature, emanating calm dominance once more. All it had taken was that one slip for Itachi to show the man where his weakness lay, and now that such an obvious one had been found, Sirius could again relax in his command. Narrowed pupils rested heavily on the other man's face, his view of the girl blocked by a tension-riddled frame of soft gold and hard muscle. Itachi's composure had also returned, but it was too late, and they both knew it. The cracks had been revealed, and Sirius' venom would seep in, now.


The Lykoi male spoke hollow words, and his King continued to gaze coldly at the bowed head. "Very well," He spoke at last, his voice sinuous and glossy like serpentine scales, "Then come, kneel at my feet, and receive your punishment and your forgiveness. The girl will be spared blame for your faults," Yellowed teeth glinted sharply from between black lips as he spoke, one finger pointing to the ground before his clawed toes. "If you have taken her to be with you, then she will be one of the Family, for that is surely what you wish. But you shall renew your allegiance to me, Itachi Lykoi, as payment for the protection Salsola will give her, and as punishment for your insults against me." His dark brows were heavy over luminous eyes, that bubbled and sparked like small pools of acid.
