With bated breath, she waited for reply. She knew full well the man before her would see what she wished to ask but could not bring herself to, feeling that words would tarnish this wonderful moment. But she was a patient woman at heart, yet even now she felt herself grow anxious as the seemingly endless silence carried on. ‘Please answer me…’ she wanted more than anything to say, but her lips remained closed and unmoving.
Beneath the starlit night in the presence of this heaven on earth, the ancestors had bequeathed her ears with a truth she thought was lost from her. She knew now the reason for them bringing this male back into her life to return the missing piece of her soul that had left with him. And she was made whole again… here in his arms, she was whole. And though she dared not pull away from him, and buried her muzzle deeper beneath his chin, in her mind’s eyes she could see the territory and looked across it with a renewed sense of hope. Whatever doubt she had mustered had gone with the emergence of his voice, having a renewed faith that this foreign land, this paradise beneath the shadow of the mountain could truly become their home. Because she had one with her that would never leave her side, and she had a love to see flourish upon these new grounds. And finally with no lingering doubts to hold back her tongue, she was able to speak;
“…and I love you, Jaden.”
