Awakening

Vivid dreams, ones of her past. But lately, her dreams have shifted. No longer were they torurous pictures of corpses and the blood-chilling howls, but instead they were dreams if racing along the mountain side with Yiska, hunting, playing. Everything they did was in sync, as if they shared a mind. She had never felt like this before, other than with Brun. Brun, her mate that had passed on. She no longer grieved on him, now that she was with Yiska. Brun was simply a memory full of memories, but he was gone now. There was nothing she could do about it. But, even their relationship was different. This relationship with Yiska was strong, powerful. Something the ivory alphesse will never forget.


The slim built Placid awoke from a series of peaceful dreams, far too unique. She yawned, and realized, when her side got a chill, that Yiska had disappeared. She glanced out side of the den, to see her mate sitting there peacefully. She padded out and sat beside him, their coats pressed together.
"Morning, sunshine. How did you sleep?"

Just his touch had her in a tizzy, her heart pounding and her mind spinning as he pressed up against her, putting the littlest amount of his weight on her. She smiled, and tilted her head slightly, resting it on his shoulder. She could hear the birds, the sun shinning brightly on her light, white pelt. She closed her optics for a moment, letting the warm sun soak in. Her eyes were soft and calm as they opened again, before she lifted her head and looked at Yiska.
Great, slept like a log. Do you want to do anything today?" the brown Alpha had asked. A sweet smile spread across the ivory femmes facade.
"Actually, yes, I do. But I have no clue what. You have any ideas?" the Alphesse replied, her smile growing.

The forest. Of course. She had learned that Yiska loved the forest almost as much as she loved the mountains. She smiled a sweet smile, nuzzling his neck.
"Of course! I had nothing in mind anyway." She replied lightly, happy to go wherever her mate wanted to go. She stood up and shook all of the debris and dust from her coat, before she took a few steps in the general direction, glancing back over her shoulder toward Yiska.



She spun around completely as he began to say something else. Her visage turned red and went hot. To the ivory Alphesse, it felt like it was going to singe her fur to ashes. She smiled in embarrassment. Of course he would notice! Of course, he was right.
"Well, I certainly can't correct you," the femme muttered quietly, "But I do agree. We'll visit there today, okay?" Placid raised her voice, and figured she would get this over with, "Why? Do you want pups as well?" She asked in a hushed tone, afraid of if he would say now. She was excited at the thought of pups, ecstatic. But it was up to Yiska.

When he nodded, Placid's face brightened. Her smile was a big goofy grin, and she bounded toward Yiska. With Yiska, she could be herself, trusting him completely. She would replace awkward moments with play and enjoy them instead. She would enjoy every moment she had with him. He wanted pups as well, and that's all that mattered in her mind right now. She prodded him with her paw, and spun away, attempting to, without words, tell him to follow her. She had something to show her.



The ivory maiden raced off, her paws barely touching the ground as she flew down the mountain, nearly falling twice, but catching her balance just as easily. She sprung herself into the forest when she neared the bottom, landing neatly on the ground, without losing speed, she burst faster into the forest. She glanced back to see if Yiska was following as she dodged trees, before she pulled into the beautiful area. There was a huge, sparkling lake in the middle and a huge clearing with hollowed out trees and rocks piled high. Surely, he would like this area. She slowed down and sat in the middle of the clearing as she waited for her mate, letting out a slow, soft howl, that sounded like a song, pretty and perfectly pitched to pinpoint her location.

Throughout the whole race, the ivory coated Alphesse had felt her mate on her heels the whole entire time. She had pushed herself faster and harder, panting by the time she had reached the bottom of the mountain. It was then, with her lengthy spring, that she had lost him, darting into the forest faster than a hare chased by a fox. When she had howled for him, she could smell him as he got nearer, and then watched him race around, sniffing the small pile of boulders. He charged at her and tackled her, knocking her petite body to the ground. She began to laugh endlessly. She tucked her head into his chest, and flipped over. With quick, swift movements, the femme managed to squirm out from his tackle and dance back, her body crouched low, her plume on a slow-motion wag. She grinned.
"Come get me," The femme murmured in a purring, raspy tone, the words rolling off of her tongue.

The white femme layed on the ground beside her mate, smiling happily. She was going to have pups! Her eyes sparked a lighter color at the thought. She nuzzled into Yiska's shoulder, smiling.
"Names? Sure. I have a few for girls, none for boys really. Daika or Dainika and Quarts," the ivory she-wolf suggested, shrugging her shoulders. They should probably pick five names for each gender, she figured. Just in case. She looked up at Yiska, smiling happily at the thought of pups.

She could tell he was slightly hesitant, over what the ivory femme was not quite sure. She shrugged. The names she had suggested had been... Slightly strange. When she was in a pack, she had a crazy aunt that she had loved so much. She always called the Alphesse, Placid, indeed Quartz or Daika. She had never had pups on her own, so instead, pampered her niece's and her nephews. But Placid was the only one who didn't complain about how crazy or weird she was, and actually had conversations with her.



Mica, she definitely liked that one. She was on the fence about Olivia a bit, and Rune was a sweet name she could see giving to a boy. She nodded. She liked both ways the names could go. From uncommon to common. It did not bother her one bit.
"I really like Mica and Rune. I'm still not too sure about Olivia, no offence or anything. But Mica and Rune are sweet names. I like them," She quickly told him what she thought of his names he had suggested. She wasn't going to answer about Quartz. It was clear it didn't really like the name, which was perfectly fine.



Now. It was her turn. She twisted her head slightly, before she would let him suggest again. For a male, she thought of Ace, possible, and possibly Bausil. For a female, she thought of Luna and Hope. Possibly, Faith as well. She had quite a list, so he could cross off whichever it was that he didn't like.
"I have a little bit more here. For males, what if we thought about Ace and Bausil, along with the name you had suggested, Rune. For girls, Lune, Hope and Faith are my suggestions, along with Mica for you. What do you think?" The alabaster femme asked quietly, quickly reminding him of the names he had chosen, just in case.
