The comforting warmth of the sweet little goddesses body against his was missing and the warrior was deeply unhappy about it. It was early morning and the dark male had been told by the female that she was off into the wilderness. He’d nodded groggily, understanding only that she would be on the mountains if he needed her. The problem was- he didn’t need her on the mountains, he needed her to be back here in his bed with him. But he knew that sooner or later, pack duties would plague him and he dragged himself out of bed to wash and patrol the borders. It was mundane work- scenting and marking the places where either his or Naniko’s markers were weaker. They had closed their borders to newcomers for the moment- they needed to become stronger before they could accept more into their ranks. And the ranks were filling up nicely he felt. The males stretching form was impressive as he moved from his bed over to the wash basin, filled with water from one of the hot springs that had been discovered in the snowstorms. Demi stayed in his rooms so often now she practically lived with him, and that suited the male just fine.
Bleary eyed, Theodore exited the Anathema dens in his lupus form for once. He preferred his optime form and Demi seemed to be in this form most often as well. Well trained nose picked up Demi’s scent easily and he forgot his duties for a moment. Skin tingling and a sly grin flashing over his lips, the warrior took off after his little play thing. He could use a little morning exercise and who better to help him than her. It was then that he heard the bear roar and he paused. A fear like he’d never known gripped the male and he couldn’t explain the feeling of foreboding that washed over him. He knew, without seeing, that Demi was in trouble. Rage surged through his body as he moved faster. Perhaps it was a good job that his body was trained and honed, else he wouldn’t have managed to get up the mountain. As it happened, he was there in moments. Blue eyes widened in rage and horror as Demi was knocked to the ground, the bear attacking her.
“Demi! Demi move!”
Terror reigned in his voice as he moved towards the bear. Lips pulled back in a terrifying snarl as he moved towards the beast. A lunge and a snap at its face distracted it for a moment and the warrior took that moment to shift into his optime form. Now with arms, he launched himself onto the bears back, arms aiming to lock around its neck. It didn’t, however, stop the beasts arms thrashing around and Teddy gave a surpressed yelp as one of its sharp claws caught the thick muscles in his left thigh. Blood slicked down his leg but he held on tight. With a furious bellow he sunk his teeth into the bears shoulder, rage welling up inside the male. Demi needed protection and here he was.
