Look Out!

It seemed as though her friend and subordinate did need something from her. Guidance was always something that her pack mates had come to her for in the past, so it was no surprise to her now that Ashanti was coming to her for advice. The alpha’s ears pricked forward, recognition showing in her eyes when Ashanti mentioned Miccah. So she had known that he had been accepted into the pack. This was good to know for the future, as Nina would be sure to treat him much more kindly. She frowned when she heard the woman’s dilemma. The alpha could understand where the young woman was coming from but she also knew what it was like to fall in love. One lie and everything could be ruined forever. Shifting uneasily from side to side, she let out a long sigh before studying the features of the tortured girl in front of her. What Ashanti had gone through…it was something that she had not deserved, but that didn’t mean she could keep it hidden.

Finally, after what she was sure was a few excruciating slow moments, her jaws parted and words slipped easily off her lips, <b style="color:#008080">”You need to tell him the truth…the whole truth. A repeat of a wolf’s bane would never be good.” The woman blushed furiously and was thankful that her fur covered her skin in that moment. Repeating her words in her head she realized that she probably sounded like a babbling idiot. Clearing her throat, she tried again, this time, without trying to speak in a riddle, <b style="color:#008080">”It would not be pleasant. A repeat of what Bane went through.” There. Her words made much more sense that time around and Nina was thankful that she was getting better at rephrasing what she was saying, though sometimes when she wasn’t completely thinking about what she was thinking they would just slip out. That was okay though because she was different.

The mother had always been one to care for those who she had become close to. She would always listen and found that she rarely talked to those who actually needed her guidance because they ended up finding the answer within themselves. In Nina’s opinion, anyone had the answer to a question regarding their personal life and knew it was not her place to question their motives. Never had Nina had a problem when helping out a friend, but it seemed that now Ashanti was not getting the help she needed and Nina doubted that she would be able to answer her question that would satisfy the other mother. Her words rang in her head and a small frown was on the woman’s face. Her confusion, however, was delitescent and the alpha silently pondered her words carefully before turning back to the woman that she viewed as her daughter. Pursing her lips, she looked throughout the thickets quickly before letting her gaze rest back onto the white woman.

Sighing softly, Nina opened her jaws to speak and knew that this was the best she could do for Ashanti, <b style="color:#008080">”You can never plan on what you are going to say to someone, my dear, but I’m sure it will come to you. Flowers are very intelligent.” She blinked her single-eyed gaze a few times and looked down slightly. She might have been an alpha but sometimes she felt awkward when it came to relationships between others. Clearing her throat, she spoke gently and suggestively, <b style="color:#008080">”Perhaps you should spend some more time with your son as well…when was the last time you spoke to him?” The alpha lifted her head slightly and perked her ears forward, curious about the answer that her subordinate would give her, because Nina was sure that she had seen much more of Bane in his lifetime than his own mother had. Usually this would bother Nina, but she had become attached to the young lad and couldn’t bring herself to part from his side.
