By the time he had come back, they were already adults and Razekiel had already left. The black coyote had returned in time to see Kaena's youngest children, and through trickery and secrets, he had enticed Kae to bring Eris to see him. Perhaps if he had taken one of his own children, though, they would not have turned against her so easily. She doubted very much that Sam, Raze, or Ahe would have walked away from their mother, even after she'd killed their father. They stayed close and quiet for what might have been hours, and Samael's body began to move beneath her fingers. She listened to his bones grind and pop beneath his fur, his skin shifting even beneath her fingers as he grew larger. They were roughly the same size, and his fingers entwined with hers, clutcing her hands. His palms were warm, and she squeezed them slightly, holding onto him tightly. He spoke, and the Lykoi woman's single eye widened, watching him stroke his own throat, presenting that throbbing jugular vein to her. His claws dug into his own throat, and the sable ears on Kaena's head swept back immediately, her hand reaching for his again, grabbing it to pull it away from his skin in one rough motion. "No," she said, her voice raspy and low. She stared at him with that single eye, burning yellow as it gazed into his bloodied eyes. "I can't," she added quietly, shaking her head from side to side to emphasize the thought. No matter what. He was still her son. She could no more kill him than she could entertain his wild fantasies. The grizzled hybrid could not stand to lose him. Her gray hand held his tightly, and her face showed only love. She had swallowed all of those dark thoughts, hoping he could do the same, at least for the moment. They were together and that was all that mattered. |
