[Pheonix/Breeding] Wow, what a night!

[raja]

The steps of a male came upon the terrain, his every motion stiff. His eyes were intense, his tail held even with his back. His paw lifted as he neared the dens, taking in everything. He sat down, his feet warm beneath his fur. His tail twitched out of frustration. Females. Where were they all? It was that time, the time when he came to maturity. And it was the time when he felt the urge to.. Well... Lets just say he came to maturity and sought a female. Not at the moment a mate, just any female that caught his eye. A sort of testosterone rage took over him, almost like it was not him at all. Willing to fight for a female, willing to kill. Willing to die in an instance just to be with a female.

The night was young, the heavens blue skies just starting to leak colors, off set by the clouds and distorted by the forests trees and leaves. Staring up at the skies was a young wolf male, a Yagi. He was strong, capable of great damage with his horns atop his head, but often he chose not to inflict damage. Today he was looking for love, and looking for one thing.. A female... His nostrils inhaled, flaring open to take in scents. His eyes closed as he did so, focusing on all the scents. Any females? There had to be! He exhaled slowly, sniffing the ground. There had been wolves here, but the recent snows had blotted out their scents.

Sighing softly, his eyes blinked open once more, he looked around himself, his tail held high. Black and brown fur was offset by dark green markings along his body. His yellow eyes searched the terrain, hungrily... longing for a female.. any female... Lust, they called it... The time when a male first comes into maturity and is so over taken with hormones that he just must MUST have a female. This was supposed to happen every year, but males grew wiser every year, or so one hoped.

Ears laid flat back, his hind paws lifting him off the ground into bounds. Tail held high, ears pinned back. Teeth showing, he went on his search. Any males that stood in his way he would fight away. At this point he did not care what female he ended up with, he deep down wanted a soul mate but right now his mind was only focused on one thing.. Females.

[☆Phoenix]

Pheonix had been running for days on end, only stopping for food and water. Her mind was on her parents, she did't know what had happened her powers just went out of control and how could she just leave her parents and family in that inferno,she wondered if any even got out alive. But the past is the past, she must move on, find a new pack a mate and raise a family. Now as she walked through this unfamiliar territory, new scents and fears were flowing through her mind. There was a faint scent of a wolf that had passed by, but she did not recognize it as the scent of a lupus. Her parents never taught her about the many other species of wolves, only to stay clear of them, and that they were trouble. It was growing dark, and the ground felt soft and wet underpaw, which scared her for it meant that her element would not work as well here. She continued walking, now a bit faster than before, it was now pitch black and Pheonix was tired she hadn't slept in days. She spotted a small cave not too far off, she ran over and crawled inside. She took a drink from a tiny pool of water in the back and curled up and closed her eyes.

Pheonix's eyes snapped open. She had been asleep for only an hour and it was still dark out. Something had woken her up, and now that she thought about it, the smell of the wolf that she had smelt earlier had become stronger, and now to the point where she could hear something blundering through the marsh with no care whatsoever of the noise being made. The smell was that of a male, which she new meant trouble, she still couldn't tell what breed it was but she knew for sure that it was not a lupus. She quickly stood up, and looked around. She created a fire on the tips of her claws, prepared to attack who or whatever came into view. As her bright flame coloured eyes stared into the darkness, she could just make out the dim outline of another wolf. "Who's there, she snarled taking a step forward, baring her teeth, show yourself!"

[raja]

His eyes searched the terrain, for a while he thought he caught the scent of a female. He tried to track her down, but in his daze did not find her. He sat, seriously considering where she might be. Then the thought occurred to him that she was in the cave. And so, he rapidly approached, only slowing when he saw her eyes staring back into the wooded swamp, fear in her eyes and her body stance. Flames had sparked from her paws, and he realized that if he was going to mate with her, he might as well keep his cool. "Who's there" She snarled at the world and he watched her take a step forward. He was still hidden in the brush, his lips curled into a slight snarl. As she got into the light he saw her true beauty. Her fiery red fur, colorful beyond belief.. flames just maximizing her beauty. "Show yourself!" She snarled to the world, and with out a word he stepped forward, his eyes crazed not with the urge to mate but with an affection for her, a madness to want to make her his own.

"Hello, m'lady." He said softly. "No need to be fearful. I will not hurt you." He said, his stub of a tail wagging gently. His horns were intimidating, but he was careful not to aim them at her. He dared look at her from the corner of his eye, looked into her eyes, down around her body, and then back into her eyes. He quickly looked away, the crazy urge to mate emerging again, stronger then ever. No. He would not force this poor thing into it. Only if she wanted to.

But what if she did not want to mate? To have a one night fling, maybe several nights flings? The thought of puppies was far from his mind, all that was in his mind was a crazy night with her. Everything revolved around females.. no, not just females.. around this female. Whom he did not even know her name. But my, she was beautiful. And if he could not force her to be his, perhaps he could court her. It would go against his breed standards, but then again everything he did seemed to go against nature, for he was as they called it thick in the head.. A little dull minded, not quite there.

Although he was actually clever at times, other wolves labeled him for wanting females outside his breed. For socializing with them, courting them, for wishing to be friendly and loving with others outside his breed. He shot a glance at her again, smiling just a little. "Relaxed yet?" He asked softly. "I told you, I'm not planning on hurting you. No matter how intimidating my horns might appear." He got a good look at her, seriously looking at her. Scared to the bone. In defense mode. Had she ever seen any wolf outside her species? Was she new to the land? Did she have a pack, or was she just a loner? All he knew was she was there, and she was beautiful.. Very, very... "Beautiful.." He said in a tone barely above a whisper, the last word coming out on accident. The moment he realized he had said it, he was embarressed. But hopefully, maybe... she wouldn't remain scared of him.

[☆Phoenix]

Pheonix took another step forward, her paws still flaming, and readied herself to attack. "Who are you and what do want?!" she snarled. If he wanted a fight he would get one. She stood her ground, staring at the stranger in awe, he had large horns and a bobbed tail, she had never seen a wolf like this before. She tried to catch his eye, but he avoided her intense gaze. He looked friendly, she could see his stub of a tail wagging, she could see his muscles tightening then relaxing again. He didn't look like he wanted a fight. Pheonix stood up straight, still ready any second to lash out, and extinguished the flame on her paws. She heard the wolf murmur something quietly to himself, she had just caught it "Beautiful," she heard him say. That reassured her, she approached him cautiously, still intimidated by his horns. She stopped just a few feet away from him, gazing at him in question, waiting for him to reply.

[raja]

Raja looked at her as she snarled a "What do you want?!" He smiled, his stub of a tail wagging slowly. As she seemed to settle, it started wagging furiously. He approached her slowly, cautiously.. "I want you.." He answered her questioning eyes, looking deeply into hers. He could see that she was relaxed, he was certain she would want him too. "Do you want to.. mate...?" He whispered in her ear seductively... "You know, we could be great together... Just for tonight..." He whispered, smiling at her. "Just one time, what could happen?" He assured her, gazing into her eyes with passion.

He approached her, then asked, "Do you want me?" To her, licking her muzzle and smiling madly. He looked at her.. "We could.. be great together..." He repeated, affectionatly nosing her maw.

[☆Phoenix]

Pheonix looked at him, "What is your name?" she asked " I am Pheonix." This wolf wanted her to be his, she wagged her tail slightly, the answer showed clearly in her eyes, she liked him and she wanted to be his, as much as he wanted her, the nerve to approach her and stand his ground even though she was planning on attacking. She was no longer intimadated, she licked him.

[raja]

"Pheonix.." He repeated, the name fresh on his tongue, he savored it for a moment, then said in a whisper, "What a beautiful name. I am Raja. And I want to be yours. Only yours..." He said softly and came to her side, she licked his cheek and he smiled, looking into her eyes with passion.. affection.. perhaps even love. He looked at her with a smile, then mounted her gently.. it was a night of passion...

-some time later-

He got off her slowly, he smiled at her, his eyes mad with passion, love.. A goofy smile on his face. "That.. was.. brilliant.." He heaved, nuzzling up against her with his nose, and giving her a soft lick on the cheek.

[☆Phoenix]

She licked him back, affection flowing through her, he was so gentle, his name so strong, his words reassured her, making her feel safe. She was glad of his company, she had been craving anothers company for days. She was glad to have him by her side, no matter what species he was. A whimper escaped her for, his company was making her remember her parents, her pack all that she had left behind. Realization of the was flooding her and she was drowning in it. She sat down and stared at the ground tears welling up in her eyes.

[raja]

He looked at her, wondering what was the matter. "Dear Pheonix.. whats wrong?" He asked, his paw on hers. He looked into her eyes, there were tears there. He looked worried, he put his nose against the tip of hers gently, giving her gentle showers of licks, a dogs kiss, upon her face. He wanted her to be happy, not sad.. "What can I do? I want you to be happy." He said softly, nuzzling up against her gently, burying his face in her fur. He was careful not to let his horns hit her, so he was being careful. He looked at her again, frowning. "Tell me what ails you, m'dear."

[☆Phoenix]

She pulled herself together, "I have lost everything, my friends, my family, my pack, everyone I have ever loved is gone, and it's all because of me" she cried. She told him her story all the way up till now. "I want a family again, a pack, a mate, pups. I fear to care, because the more you care the more you have to lose, and I don't want to lose anyone again because I never would and never will forgive myself." She stared at him tears sliding faster down her cheeks, then looked back at the ground, ashamed of what she had done and what he would think of her.

[raja]

He listened solemnly as she told him her story. "Then be my mate... We'll have pups.. We'll try until you're pregnant." He said softly, adding, "We'll have a family.. and this can be your pack. I love you for you, Pheonix. No one and nothing will ever change that. Not ever." He said, licking her cheek gently. He pawed at her chest, gently tackling her. "Its alright... you have me. And I'm not going anywhere." He said, licking her maw gently. He looked into her eyes, and smiled just a little. "Show me your beautiful smile." He said softly, then nosed around her belly, to tickle her. "Come on, I know you have it somewhere!" He teased, nosing around her belly to try to get her to smile.

[☆Phoenix]

Pheonix wiped away her tears, and turned away, and just when Raja was unexpecting it, she laughed, and tackled Raja. She pinned him to the floor and licked his muzzle, "I would love to be your mate!" she replied. She got off of him, letting him get back up. She looked around, this was the happiest she had been in a long while, she thought to herself, she was going to have a family again! A pack again! She looked back at Raja with sparkling and gave him a beautiful smile.

[raja]

She turned away and he frowned, wondering if he had said something wrong.. But then he was suddenly tackled. He let out a gasp of surprise, as she said she'd love to be his mate.. seemingly as she tackled him with a laugh. He smiled goofily and nuzzled against her cheek. At last he had someone to love, to have a family with...

"Pheonix.. I have to tell you something.. before I met you.. another she wolf got pregnant by me. I.. I don't want to be her mate, I don't love her. I've already told her I don't love her... I hope you don't hate me."

[☆Phoenix]

She looked at him, "Why would I hate you, no, you told me the truth, rather than keeping it a secret, although, I don't like what you have done, if you didn't love her you never should have done it. But the past is the past and its over and done with, now you must look to the future." She looked at him sympethetically, "Cheer up."

[raja]

He looked at her, listening to her. "I love you.." He said softly. He licked her cheek. "Only you..." He said and smiled a little, as she told him to cheer up. He looked at her. "Thanks for understanding." He said softly, "Cause thats why I love you so much. You're a great wolf, Pheonix. I love you more then life itself." He said softly, showering her with kisses. A goofy smile returned to his maw. "We're mates.. we're really mates..."
