My Hero [Lex]

[Deleted]

It was early, far too early for the sun to wake her, not yet. The past couple weeks had been wonderful, and though they had not started out very comfortably, the two wolves had gotten very close since the incident at the river. As the sun slowly made it's way to the horizon to cross up into the sky for the day, the tiny female was curled up against the larger male that had saved her life that day at the river. The two had grown particularly close, and though Rita had met a couple of other wolves that she called friend, it was Lex that she relied on for almost everything. She was weak, she knew it, and he was strong. He took care of her, he kept her safe. She could not ask for more. But she did feel more, she could not help it.

Whenever they were close, she felt his warmth surge through her. Her chest tightened, her stomach fluttered, her head whirled. She had found the one that she wanted to spend her forever with, though she feared that her forever might not truly last that long. She was sick, or at least she had lingering symptoms of sickness. Her eyesight was getting worse, and though she was growing more confident with herself, her abilities were still pathetically limited. She relied mostly on Lex to get them food, though she could play a great distraction if she needed to. When it came to dangers or defense, she almost always hid behind him. That is, except for the time that she had wandered off, the last time she would ever do such a thing. She had met an enormous male, Sabaoth, who had tortured her and hurt her, before finally letting her tuck tail and run before he killed her.

From then on, she had tried to stay as close to Lex as possible. But, she had wandered off one other time. That was when she met Auron, a male that Lex still had not met, and still did not know about. Today, though, she was safe and secure by her mate, curled into a ball and dreaming peacefully as her fur mixed gently with his. He was warm, comfortable, safe. She could not ask for more, and yet, she knew they would likely find a pack in their future, and perhaps, if she could manage it, they could have a family. She had no right to ask for more, to ask for these things, but she wanted them, or at least she wanted the chance. Even as the sun slowly began to poke a finger through the entrance of their temporary den and cast it's light against her face, the female slept. Though, she did whine irritably in her sleep and tuck her face into the male's chest to keep the light away for just a little bit longer.

It had been a little while by now since the oddly colored male had stumbled upon a female in need of saving. At the time, he thought the female would never want to stay with him and would leave as soon as she was better. Lucky for him however, that was not the case. She had stayed with him even after she was all better and with each passing day they grew closer and closer. They had found a temporary home in the caverns and what started as an awkward friendship was blossoming into something more. In the back of their den was Lex's collection of odds and ends and, while he was surprised she had not asked about it, he was also kind of glad. He was not sure how she would take to him being a Kleptomaniac and was not quite ready to find out. In the other back corner was where they stored food. Lex would often try and go after larger animals so that they wouldn't have to hunt that often and when that failed, he would go after several smaller animals until he had a nice collection saved up. They were doing fairly well on their own and he hoped things would continue that way.

That particular day, Lex was up early and curled up next time was his sleeping Rita. He couldn't help but look over her with loving eyes. After spending so much time together and taking care of her, he was quickly falling for her. Laying next to him, she looked peaceful and content and the only word he could think to describe her was beautiful. After laying awake for a while, he quietly got to his feet and walked silently out of the den. Stretching to help himself wake up, he set off in search of some prey. While they still had some leftover meat, he knew she would appreciate something warm and fresh. He walked quietly through the land, keeping his eyes on the look out for any signs of movement. Though, it was still so early he didn't know if anything would be awake.

After traveling for Maybe half an hour, he finally spotted something that would work. It was a large rabbit and, still in a sleepy daze, it was unaware of the larger wolf. He crouched down and moved ever closer. Finally, the rabbit spotted the predator but it was too late. It had only made two or three leaps away from him before Lex was on top of it, biting down onto it's next. It took no more than a minute or two before it was dead and the young wolf began walking back to his home. His stomach growled but he restrained himself from eating the kill, knowing his lady would like it more. He would simply have to eat the left overs that were already in the den.

Once he made it back to the den, he set the rabbit down by the side of the cavern before walking back over to the still sleeping feme. Stretching out, he laid back down next to her and couldn't help but smile as she hid her face in his fur away from the sunlight. He yawned and laid his head over her protectively before closing his eyes, hoping to get at least a few more minutes of sleep.

The little female clung desperately to sleep. Her ears pinned backwards in her dreams as she moved slowly through an indistinct mist, her tiny paws twitching in reality as she walked slowly across an unknown part of the island in her mind. She had no idea where she was, or where she was going, but none of that really seemed to matter. She somehow knew she was safe, though she could see nothing around her, she knew that no harm could come to her. But then the fog shifted. The mood changed, the darkness fell upon her. The warmth of the larger male wolf that she had cuddled into now left her, the fog in her dreams slowly disappeared and was replaced by a darkness that was paired with a shivering cold rain.

She was lost, a tiny little blade of grass in a whirlwind storm there was no escape from. She whimpered softly in her sleep as the male wolf disappeared and went out to hunt, her little body curling up into a tight ball in the center of their den with her tail over her nose. But her distress was not meant to last long. She was still in her little nightmare when Lex returned, and as he laid back down next to her, she shifted to cuddle back into him and sighed softly in relief as his head rested lightly on top of her form. It only took a few short minutes for the sun to creep forward in the darkness of the den, and eventually it cast it's rays lightly over the female's face to wake her from her slumber.

Her head lifted slowly, eyes blinking open and ears twitching with a soft yawn. Her short legs stretched out to the side, body pressing into Lex's for a few moments before she straightened herself out and looked at the male's head on her back. "Mmmm, good morning." She said softly, smiling at the sight of the male that she had decided to stay with. Her nose leaned forward slightly, jaws parting a bit so that she could nibble gently at the base of his ear. "Is that food I smell?" She asked, finally lifting her head once more to look around the den. It smelled like fresh blood, though she could not quite find the source nearby. Perhaps it was behind him or right outside, but she hated to pull herself away from her mate's warmth just yet.

Ever sense the tragedy in his past had happened, the unique looking male wolf found it extremely difficult to get close to others. It wasn't that he didn't know wolves he wanted as friends or anything, he had just built a high and sturdy wall around his heart that was almost impossible for a wolf to climb over. He had his whole pack, family and friends, murdered in front of him and he just couldn't go through the pain of feeling the loss of yet another wolf. Not to mention, because of his past, there was a very dark side to the male. One he fought to over come every single day. He wanted nothing more than to hunt down every wolf involved in his pack's slaughtering and sink his teeth into their necks. He wanted them dead.

The one exception to the feelings constantly swirling around Lex's mind was the smaller wolf laying asleep next to him. He had rescued her from drowning and, at the time, had expected to keep her with him until she healed and got back on her feet. However, that wasn't exactly how things were playing out. He was finding himself beginning to want to break down the walls he had built to allow her entrance to his heart. The comfort of her curled up against him was something he had longed for since the tragedy and he never wanted to lose the feeling.  He nuzzled her as she sighed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes, waiting for her to wake from her slumber.

He smiled sweetly as she lifted her head and he licked her ear lovingly. He loved the feel of her back pressing into him and his tail wagged contently. He knew he definitely wanted this to continue. "Good morning, sweetheart," he purred and nuzzled her again before asking, "Sleep well?" He shivered gently as he nibbled on her ear before nodding as she looked toward the fresh kill. He got up and walked over, bringing the kill back to her and laying it in front of her so she wouldn't have to get up. "Caught it for you this morning while you were sleeping," he smiled before going over to their food pile and bringing back an older rabbit. He laid down next to her and waited for her to start eating before he himself did.

He was warm, comfortable and he made her feel safe. This feeling of a sheltering guardian watching over her, caring for her, keeping her out of harm's way, it was something that she had not experienced since she was a young pup. She cuddled back into the larger wolf's form, ears flattened against her head as she sighed softly and smiled when he pulled the meat closer to her. "Thank you." She said, lifting her head slightly to lick his chin as her half-tail wagged lightly behind her. They were two different wolves, two different breeds, and they looked very different from one another. Then again, Lex had his own interesting coloring compared to the other wolves of the island. Rita, however, looked just like any other Ethiopian wolf.

She doubted that her average appearance bothered the larger male, but she could not help but wonder what he thought about her disabilities. She frowned for only a moment at the thought, but forced herself to instead focus on the male that laid beside her. The food smelled wonderful, and though she knew it had likely already cooled down slightly, she could feel her mouth beginning to water at the thought of devouring it. It had been a while since she had eaten a fresh kill, with the last kill she had helped with being the deer she and Auron had brought down. She lowered her head slowly, opening her mouth to pick up the carcass he had brought her, and then slowly began to eat. It tasted wonderful, but she could not help but wonder whether or not Lex would ever let her go hunting with him. She would likely just slow him down, but she had proved in the past that she was at least somewhat capable.

After she finished the small meal, she stretched slowly, licking her chops and yawning softly. Then she pushed herself to her feet and lowered her head to nuzzle affectionately into the male's neck. "Where did you get these?" She asked, wondering what type of prey called this area home. Sure, there were rabbits everywhere, but what other kind of prey could they hunt without entering into the territory of some pack by accident? She wanted to offer up her help in bringing something down, but at that very moment, her mind told her everything that could go wrong. Her ear twitched slightly, leading slowly into a facial twitch that had plagued her for as long as she had known the male that was before her now. She frowned, lowering herself into a sit, hoping that in doing so her issues would not get worse and make it harder for her to actually participate in a hunt with him.
