I used up all of my tricks
Kyren charged through the grass, up one snow spattered hill and down the next, towards his mate. Wait until she heard the news! He had hoped for a little more, expected far less, and overall was quite happy with the results. It would have been better had Kasimira offered to free to Matrid now, but that would have been pressing his luck, and the very fact she stated on her own that she would consider it was a good sign for the future. It was true, Matrid was far better than the sklavin status she held. Kyren would never have allowed himself to fall for someone who was nothing more than a cowering sklavin. No, Kasimira would realize in time just how wonderful his mate was…but for now this worked wonderfully.
I hope that you like this, but you probably won't
When he finally saw Matrid he barked a playful, excited hello, charging over to her, tail flagging about. “I spoke with both Tortuga and Kasimira. I bring good news.” His eyes sparkled with delight, as his paws seemed to prance about in place. “They both know now, and while the lady at first was a bit upset at the news…” the sentence was said a bit slower as he remembered that conversation, “but…she decided to allow it. We are allowed to be mates, there is no punishment. On top of that, she told me without my asking she will consider your possible freedom in the future.” That should get her at least as excited as he was. Her dad had trained her to be a sklavin, so likely the thought of her ever being free hadn’t been something she’d ever put much thought into until Kyren came along. Still, it was one thing when he spoke to her of the future he saw and knew he would obtain, it would be another for her to see progress of that dream coming true.
you think you're cooler than me
Kyren’s grin broadened, “the only thing, is she told us no pups without her permission ‘or else’.” A soft chuckling sound, “which works well for the both of us. That makes it unlikely they’d ever try to force us to have pups, not that I saw it likely from one such as her anyway…but still its one less thing to be concerned with us.” Still, he had no questions to ponder out. What about pups when they were both free but still here? Would he have pups when he was only a beta? What about Matrid? Even if free’d would she be allowed to be a beta as well or of a lower rank? Questions still abounded, but slowly he was finding answers. In time it would all work out. Kyren still never questioned his future. He would be an alpha better than all others…he would be great… and Matrid would be at his side. They would raise strong healthy pups in a good land where no wolf would dare challenge them. It was not just a dream, it was fate.

Matrid [/color][/font][/right] * Matrid found herself curled in front of the dens on a cool winter morning, eyes closed, her sides rising and falling steadily as she listened to the sound of...well, nature. Somewhere the was a winged creature fluttering about, a small bird she assumed. Behind her in the dens, all was quiet. The rest of the pack was either out, or sleeping, as the morning was bright and new. Matrid, however, could not find the time to sleep. Not with this constant worry nagging at her brain.
Kyren. Where are you? She sighed softly, parting her jaws to release a breath of air. How long had it been now? Surely no longer than a few hours, but she felt as if it had been years as worry gnawed at her bones, pricking and snapping. There was a constant knot in her stomach now, her thoughts focusing on her mate - nothing else.
Suddenly a bark rang out, and Matrid leaped to her feet, her eyes snapping open as she backed away several steps. Her fear was uncalled for, however. There, bounding towards her happily, was Kyren. A smile stretched at her maw, and she immediately started towards him.
“I spoke with both Tortuga and Kasimira. I bring good news.”
For a moment, Matrid thought her heart had stopped. Did she dare believe it? Had Tortuga given his consent? And Kasimira, too? It couldn't be possible.
“They both know now, and while the lady at first was a bit upset at the news...but…she decided to allow it. We are allowed to be mates, there is no punishment. On top of that, she told me without my asking she will consider your possible freedom in the future."
For a moment, Matrid thought that her legs would give out. She leaned forward, resting her head against Kyren's shoulder as she struggled for air. The news had literally taken her breath away. He went on about the two not being able to have pups, but Matrid was not worried; pups would come, far in the future, when she was...free?
Almost as if echoing her thoughts, she muttered the same word. "Free? Kyren, I.."
She paused for a moment, taking in a deep breath.
"I've always dreamed of the idea. But I never thought it would come true. Now, not only do I get to stand proudly by your side, but I might have freedom to look forward to?"
She gazed up at him then, her warm brown eyes reflecting her fear. Was she ready for freedom? Would she ever be? She had only known the life of a Sklavin. Could she be anything else? Did she have the heart? She shook her head slightly, her insecurities shining like a beacon.
"I don't know what to think. I would love to be free, but the idea...it's terrifying. You would be with me the whole time, to help me?"

Kyren found a proud smile on his muzzle as he felt Matrid’s head rest on his shoulder, his tail gave an easy wag once, assurance it was fine. He liked this feeling, and he loved her…this was a special moment felt in each breath he took. Thank goodness his brother had won the fight that forced Kyren to spend a short period of time as a sklavin. Otherwise he would never have found Matrid, otherwise he would have never felt this way.
"I've always dreamed of the idea. But I never thought it would come true. Now, not only do I get to stand proudly by your side, but I might have freedom to look forward to? I don't know what to think. I would love to be free, but the idea...it's terrifying. You would be with me the whole time, to help me?"

“She made no promises of course, so for now you still wear the title of sklavin.” Kyren was careful with his word choice, refusing to call her a sklavin as surely as he had refused to consider himself a mere sklavin when he’d held that station. “Yes, it is entirely possible. Kasimira is smart, she will see you for who you are. The lady is sure to be watching you, curious of what it is I saw in you.”
you think you're cooler than me
With a sigh he stepped back, raised his head high, making sure his good eye met hers, “Matrid.” A moment’s pause waiting for her full focused attention, “Do you think I would fall in love with a wolf who was not worthy of freedom?” His tone surns more formal as he continues, “My hope is you become beta, like I am. I am always here for you Matrid. I don’t want you reliant on me though, calm yourself and think on it. Are you ready to be free?” Kyren sat down, tail curled around his haunches, “Tell me…a sklavin decides to try and run away. Two pups are in the den playing around, its parents are out hunting. You are two other wolves are nearby and aware the sklavin is trying to escape. You are not a sklavin in this scenario, you are the beta…what do you do? Alert the hunting alpha’s? What about the pups? The pride of the pack in another escaping? You do have two other wolves under your command to use as well. Tell me what to do Matrid…and do so with confidence.”
His tone became softer again, “Either way you have me and my love when needed, but it’s a shame if you do not realize how much more you can be.” With those words he silently waited.

Matrid [/color][/font][/right] * “She made no promises of course, so for now you still wear the title of sklavin. Yes, it is entirely possible. Kasimira is smart, she will see you for who you are. The lady is sure to be watching you, curious of what it is I saw in you.”
Matrid nodded, knowing better than to get her hopes up. Every time she had ever thought to in the past, they had been shot down, destroyed without a second thought. Now, however, things seemed to be looking up for her. Although she was still a Sklavin, she had managed to find a Dominor who was not nearly as viscous as some she had seen. She had found a place she could actually call home, and not only that, but she had also found a mate. Despite holding the title of a slave, she was content for the moment. Everything was as perfect as it could get, and she wouldn't have dared complain, not about one single thing.
"Matrid."
She glanced up at him, drawn out of her thoughts. Nodding to show she was listening, her ears tipped forward as he spoke.
“Do you think I would fall in love with a wolf who was not worthy of freedom?”
Beneath her fur, her skin blushed red, the words 'in love' echoing over and over in her mind. Slowly she shook her head, listening still as he asked if she was ready for freedom. Then, he presented her with a scenario, and a very difficult one indeed. Matrid frowned just slightly as she began to think over the situation, her brain working hard.
"I'm not entirely sure what I would do, if I was in a Beta position. At that point, my loyalty would be expected to be with the Alpha, and the well being of the pack would be my concern, right? But, I've spent my life as a Sklavin, too. I could see why the wolf would dash for freedom. It's such an enticing idea sometimes, and although I would never run, I have thought about it."
She paused, shifting her weight from paw to paw as she stared down at the ground, lost in thought. "I suppose I would leave the wolves with the pups, and go after the Sklavin myself. Speak with them. Tell them that if they returned, I wouldn't speak a word of it to the Alphas, because I would understand where they were coming from, but I wouldn't be able to just let them leave. At the same time, if I could convince them to come back, rousing the Alphas would be a last resort."
She shrugged then, glancing up at Kyren. "And as for if I'm ready for freedom...I'm not entirely sure. I like to believe that I am. It would just take quite a good deal of adjusting, I think."
