Augustus

The behemoth raised a brow, watching his brother explain. He wasn't exactly buying it, but for Tharin's sake he only nodded. The poor brute, couldn't see what was laid right before his eyes. Had he, himself, been so blind? Maybe he had, after all it had taken her heat to really get his attention, to get him to understand what he'd been feeling all the while. After Terra's betrayal, after his Alpha called on he and Ciara to hunt the cougar, he'd accidentally let her in. He hadn't meant to, but he was so angry with her, it all just came pouring out, his emotions, and he was powerless to control them. And she'd...understood him. It didn't happen often, as very few in his pack knew who he really was. It was easier to be unapproachable, no one would dare ask the questions he was so loathe to answer. Life was peaceful that way, and he could focus on his own duties, and his own life. He cared for his pack's safety, but he cared little for his brother's and sister's individually. Except a small handful; Ciara, Tharin, Shandom...But where was Shandom? There were few traces of his arctic brother. Had he left them...? Augustus looked over at the tree which the older male often visited, as if he would see his ghostly white and scarred visage staring back at him. But he wasn't there. He furrowed his brows a moment, before placing his muzzle between his paws.

His ears twitched and his eyes lazily roved over Tharin's healing frame. "You do look better, I suppose, but you should check with Fayne," Said the northern man, his voice husky from lack of use and tired vocals. "But I would appreciate that...All this nonsense is just keeping us apart, I feel like we never got the chance to really be together." Not that he was all that touchy-feely, but still she was his, and he loved her. Augustus may not have been the most affectionate of mates, but he liked being with her, more so than he ever had with anyone else. He felt he'd spent more time with her before they were mates, and that needed to change.

He blinked slowly, gaze trailing to the surroundings, to Tharin, then the pup. "I see...Why don't you just give her to one of the women? I'm sure they'd love to care for her." Augustus never quite understood what the big deal was with pups. They didn't listen, they constantly needed cleaning, never left you alone, fell asleep whenever you were actually trying to teach them something valuable. He could never see himself being a doting father, but he'd never imagined that he would find a mate, either, just as he never imagined he'd get over his distaste for Luperci. He was still wary of the shifters, of course, but the ones he knew could be avoided well enough, or ignored. Either worked.
