Quote:Chayton whined, pacing away from the den. Elan smiled, concerned. "Hey, brother, something seems wrong. Wanna tell me about it?" he encouraged, giving his a playful paw on the shoulder. Chayton grimaced. "I love Nikki." he blurted, then sighed. "She's the prettiest wolf I've ever seen, and because of that, I can't bring myself to ask her to be my mate! I don't deserve to have her as my mate." he said sadly, groaning. Little did he know, his frustrated voice had drifted to the alpha den.....
Nikki's ears lifted, then drooped again. "Why won't he ask me, then?!" She snapped to herself. "He knows that I love him! I've asked him before, and he didn't answer! Don't I at least deserve an answer?!" Nikki grit her teeth, whining sadly. "Doesn't he care?!" As she hadn't exactly watched the volume of her voice, it drifted right back out.
"Nikki..." Autumn only watched her sister sadly. She didn't really know what to tell her; she'd never gone through this with Elan. She nuzzled her sister affectionately, and Nikki sighed.
Chayton grimaced. "Elan.... I absolutely adore her. She's wonderful.... but I-" he cut himself off, looking angrily at the floor. Elan sidled up to him, putting a large paw on his brother's shoulders. "Ask her, Chayton. You'll be glad you did." he told him in a hushed tone. Chayton nodded. "I will Elan.... I will."
Nikki left Autumn and Elan's den, going to sit by the river. She swirled her paws around in the water, watching the tiny fish frantically swim away. A breeze ruffled her fur, and she looked up at the sky. The clouds were gathering, and becoming darker. The wind carried a smell of rain, and many wolves in Thunderpack raised their heads at the sudden scent.
Chayton padded up behind her, "Hey Nikki....." he said softly, sitting down. "Nikki... I.." he sighed, then looked deep into her eyes. "I've put this off too long. I love you. Would you be my mate?" he asked hopefully.
Nikki blinked slowly, almost as if she didn't believe he had just said that. Then, she shot to her paws, nuzzling him. "YES! Yes, Chayton, I will!"
Chayton's eyes rolled backwards, and for a minute it looked as if he was going to faint. He staggered away, then licked her face. "Thank you." he mumbled.
Nikki's tail wagged like crazy.
Chayton beamed, spinning around while jumping on his toes. "Thank you! I love you!" he whispered while he spun.
Nikki grinned happily, nuzzling him and bounding around like a pup.
Chayton jumped into the river, splashing her with water.
"Hey!" She shouted jokingly, leaping in after him.
Chayton uttered a playful growl, nosing water in her direction.
