OOC: A wild Candace post appears! Shadow and Kiara only, please! <3
It had been weeks since she’d had time alone with her mate.
Ciara and Augustus were patrolling constantly. One would take a long shift and then come to relieve the other. That meant they were working at separate times and had no time to spend together to be mates. It was weighing on them in some ways, strengthening their bond in others. There were things that needed to be resolved (the consummation of their mateship, for example), but the strength it took to deal with the distance had brought them closer together.
She was confident now that they had reached a deep enough level of understanding where she could finally show him her most vulnerable moment. What had kept her back from accepting his advances before had been just that. Even though Augustus wasn’t the most experienced in the sexual department, Ciara was as green as they came. She knew that she’d appear shy and weak even, to her mate, on the night they first mated. The golden girl needed to know that he wouldn’t think less of her, that they were at a level where he could accept every part of her.
Being ready also meant needing that time together, and that’s where the rest of the Epsilons came in. Kiara and Shadowfang had been recently promoted to their rank, and that meant they could take on the responsibility. Some small part of her told her that Augustus would be loathe to let them step in, but she would find ways to persuade him. She wasn’t in heat, but she knew it was time. At the very least, the two could…practice.
Ciara moved back towards the communal den at the end of her shift, having mulled over all these thoughts on her walk back from the furthermost borders. First she yipped at the den in case either of the two rookie Epsilons were in there. Then, she lifted her nose to the sky and sent out a vague call asking for Kiara and Shadowfang. She knew that Augustus might find it odd, and might even bristle at the thought of his mate talking to the dark male, but it needed to be done.
The two Epsilons needed this favor, whether they liked it or not.
