She felt out of breath. Air wheezed down into her lungs though offered her no satisfaction. Vitium was the same as always and she wondered why the hell he was here. Instead of lunging after him immediately again with her razor sharp blade she bared her fangs and growled lowly at the traitor of both blood and clan. How dared he coming back after what he did. How could the man be so foolish? She stared at him with eyes that could have killed if they only possessed the ability. He spoke; first to the Aquila and then to her. “Made your choice?” She threw out a snarl at the man she once had adored. He had sent her here and made the choice for her. She knew not what kind of brilliant plan her father had made for them, but she would not ever be touched by his puppet strings again. Her copper coated ears lay flat against her silky hair and she refused to acknowledge his words. She just stared at him with open disgust and watched him walk away.
She wanted to run after the dark furred creature and stab her sword through his back and see it appear in his chest, but sense was quickly leaping back to her and the fear of having made a mistake started to sneak in again. Ears were still flattened as she slowly turned around to her leaders, but while her tail had been coiling like an enraged snake it now pressed lightly against the back of her left knee. The Aquila tossed out a command and Halo’s ruby eyes fell in respect and obedience for her leader. She failed to notice the cold glare that her grandmother received and dipped her muzzle in quiet understanding. Oh yes, she would kill him if he ever showed his fucking traitor face here again. A low growl continued to rumble in the depths of her throat. To think that she once had resented Gabriel for revealing the dirty facts of her worthless father was almost comical now.
She felt the doggish hybrid’s eyes on her and lifted her gaze to his for a mere moment to see if there was frost and heat directed at her. They were not angry with her? The sudden compliment by the Aquila took her by surprise and she let her gaze obediently part with his again; finding his feet rather interesting now. A thin smile settled on her lips for an entire second before she reeled it in again. The good words almost overshadowed her sour mood. She wanted to speak up and draw out an actual dialogue with the male, but managed to bite her tongue and keep quiet. She was like the child getting praised and she knew this well. Her delicate face turned to Kaena and she wanted to hold the scarred woman. Vitium had not left an empty space behind in her heart. She had found her parent in Kaena and to a certain degree also in Gabriel. Her life held more with Vitium absent.
