Wandering To Find The Way [Closed]

[Thor]

Thor had spent many days wandering the lands of his pack alone. Throughout his solo wanderings the large white male had spent much of it in contemplation. Much in his life had changed in the most recent seasons. He had fallen in battle defending the pack he had once lead. He had been dragged to a land he had no idea where it lay. He had shown up lost and worn and the shores of this strange place with no more than his name and his honor. Yet he had found a place for himself here. He had met the wolf which was now his alpha, a large brute named Goliath, and forged a place for himself.
Then had come Alina. The small female had somehow managed to find her way into his heart. Strange as it had been for him to realize, he could not deny that he had found himself falling in love with her. Part of his thoughts had been dedicated to her as he had moved from place to place familiarizing himself with the lands he now called home. That was yet another strange thing to him, this place was now his home. He had come from a land of ice and snow, where the world itself seemed ready to challenge every living creature in a battle to the death. Now here he was in a land lusher than any he had known. Yet it had as many dangers as the lands he had left behind.
Through it all his mind kept coming back to one ultimate idea, acceptance. He had found a place and in his own ways happiness here. However the hardest thing for him was to accept this new world as his own. The exploration had helped that in many ways. Seeing the lands his pack had claimed helped him place himself in the world. Now he had to find a place for himself in this world in his own mind. These thoughts lead him back to Alina. It was one thing to live one’s life for a pack and its honor. It was an entirely different idea to live one’s life for another.
As the large male crested the edge of the odd cliffs he thought back to when he had first met her, up on those mountains, while he was scouting. She had seemed so vibrant to him, an oddly joyous light in the midst of such a dark life. He would never show those emotions, no. None the less the thoughts still were there in his mind. Yet she had somehow pierced through them and brought him the first true happiness he had felt in a long time. He wondered what she was doing up north with her pack. Was she safe? Was she happy?
He worried for her, her innocence reinforced by her lack of past made her an easy target for those with less pleasant thoughts in mind. The idea of someone taking advantage or hurting Alina brought a snarl to Thor’s lips. He looked out across the jagged sheer cliffs towards the water growling into the air. His fur had thinned some as he had adjusted to the warmer climate. However he was still a creature of mass and strength. His fur was still think but was sleeker now that he had shed the dense undercoat.
The thought of the shedding brought a brief moment of laughter to him. He remembered swimming through one of the many lakes in the area. As he had looked back at his own wake he had seen the patches of wet white fur floating along behind him like a furry foam. Thor shook the thoughts from his head and rested on his haunches watching the sun slowly slink down the sky. The advent of evening made Thor consider where he would rest for the night. He had been wandering alone and sleeping in whatever shelter he could find.
However here on the cliffs he had to wonder where he would sleep this night. There was not much in the way of shelter but thankfully the weather seemed fairly calm and he could smell no rain in the air. Maybe tonight would be a good night to sleep in the open somewhere. Very little in the way of prey or predator would bother any wolf of these lands. Thor looked down the cliffs noting they looked as if massive claws had ripped away the very stone and left the cliffs there.
As he pondered these ideas Thor lay down his body stretched out to relax the tired muscles from his wanderings. He felt like he had grown some during his interim wanderings. He knew for a fact that he had put on some weight, however he felt that the weight was muscle and not him getting flabby. However it was hard to tell changes to oneself from the inside. He knew that his mind had finally calmed down. Now the only thoughts left to haunt him were those of his future with Alina. He was half tempted to storm north and find her to bring back with him. However starting a possible fight with an entire pack would lead to many issues. Not that it scared him from it, but he was not a fool. One had to think ones plans through before you possibly challenged and killed an entire pack for a female one had fallen for.

[Alina]

Alina walked along further and further from her homeland. Toiro hadn't been seen in a while and with his absence came feelings of uncertainty. He had been her protector, offering her a place among his family, something that she had wanted for so long. Now that he was gone she felt lost. There was no other reason for her to remain in the north despite leaving some of her very first friends. Airila had been so good to her and it felt bittersweet to leave them. Kujo and Nymph especially. Yet as her feet took her further and further away from what had become of her home she was filled with some excitement. It had been so long since she had seen Thor and his leaving had been so abrupt it had cut off so many things. Her thoughts and feelings as he had turned to leave her had just been ripped away and all she could process was her sadness at his departure. Those words still rang around in her head each time she thought about him. He had said that he loved her and that he would return for her, that she should wait for him. Impatient as she was she decided that she could wait for him no longer. She now wandered aimlessly and even though a part of her wanted to see Thor more than anything she held a little doubt within herself.

He had promised to come back for her and she had believed him, even as the weeks flew by she had waited patiently, but with the disappearance of Toiro her foundation had been shaken. Alina had waited expectantly for him to come and take her away to whatever place he lived, but her waiting had been in vain. Alina decided that waiting was over rated and that she needed to find her own place in this world. The passing weeks had done little for her memories making very little ground on the road to recovery. She still had no idea who she was before she had landed on this island. Moving further south she noticed that it was getting warmer the longer she walked. She had always wondered what kind of place she had come from and considering how little the heat bothered her it made sense that she assumed desert. Being in such a warm place did mean that she would not have a reason cuddle up with Thor. That would be something that she missed greatly, that was considering that she ever saw him again.

She couldn't track him or hunt him because she didn't have any kind of skill or experience. It would be a miracle if she survived long enough to find him. Hunting was another thing that she wasn't well versed at and she wasn't sure she had made it this far. Finding food had been a challenge but she was small and didn't require that much food. Dropping her nose low to the ground she came across a familiar smell. She couldn't quite place it but it pulled at her brain. Somewhere she had come across this scent, perhaps in her wanderings. Further and further she walked her stomach rumbling angrily at her. She hadn't eaten since the day before last and it was starting to weigh on her. Looking around she wondered if she should drop the familiar scent in search of lunch. Shaking her head she kept her course until the familiar scent grew stronger. It seemed that she had wandered into a pack territory and clumsy as she was had crossed the border. Not all packs were as nice as hers when it came to trespassers. More than anything she wished that Thor was here to keep her safe from all of the big bad monsters of the world. As if the fates were working in her favor her eyes beheld a gigantic white wolf.

He looked similar to Thor, but there was no way that this could be him because the last she remembered he wasn't that tall. Thick sure, but not tall. He also couldn't possibly have grown because he was already an adult so adults couldn't grow. She watched him looking to see if there was anything similar between this male and her male. Perhaps it would be best if she just moved on giving this hulking white giant a wide birth. She gave him one more passing glance before she started to walk away trying to make her retreat as soundless as possible. If she wanted to find her new home she couldn't be distracted by this brute who obviously wasn't Thor.

Thor

[Thor]

Thor continued to rest on the cliffs edge the winds eddying around him. It was odd the air movement here on the coast. One moment the wind seemed to pulse from the sea blowing the smell of salt and earth into his face, the next the wind would slide around him and suddenly the smells of the life behind him would intensify. He had become more aware of the lands and their smells in the last few weeks. The time alone had given him ample time to lean on his old teachings as a hunter and a warrior. He had sharpened his skills both with hunting and hiding. He had watched many of his pack mates from a distance, moving as to not be seen or heard. It was equal parts the urge to be alone and the application of his training and knowledge against other formidable hunters.

However as the air shifted around him an altogether different scent moved across his nose. This one was much different, it smelled fresh and alive. It smelled of northern territory, the life of the darker woods and cooler areas. It smelled of mountains and a passage through increasingly warm areas. The smells were toned in richer earth smells and had picked up the slightly animalistic scent of a creature adjusting to warmth. However beyond all of it a familiar scent that Thor would never forget so long as he lived.

“Alina.” The name came out a whisper from him. He was almost afraid to turn for fear that the scent was merely a figment of his mind and the result of his time spent alone. However if Thor was nothing else, it was a head strong creature. As the scent shifted Thor stood rapidly and spun. He looked out across the land he had crossed to find these cliffs. For a brief moment her fur made her almost invisible to him. The chewed land and earth warmed over the seasons but the strong sun made for a variety of browns and reds. Add that to the salts found in this area from the sea and the strong white marks it gave the ground and Alina could be easily missed in this territory.

However Thor did spot her in the end. She was moving carefully away from him. The motion and obvious caution in her gait hurt. If she had seen him why had she not called out? Why had she not come to him? Wait. Why in the all the lands beyond was she even here for? It was definitely her he could tell that. Her small petite form and multi colored coat were imprinted in his mind from the moment he met her. He could almost still feel her small form curled against his as they stood on those mountains so many days ago.

Now here he was watching her walk away from him. Had he made a mistake? Did he not return soon enough? Had she left him for another? If any of these were true why in the worlds would she be here now? Too many questions raced across the males mind. Internally he snapped down on his racing emotions and mental state. He enforced peace and clarity upon his mind and let go of the thoughts. Instead he chose to act. He may have changed both mentally and physically in the time since he had last seen her, however in the end he was still a warrior first.

He moved rapidly keeping his body loose and his motions fluid. He did not want her to think he was attacking is she did not recognize him. Though he had to imagine regardless of the state of his coat, now sleeker from the weeks spent in the desert, the scar that ran down his face had to be a fairly clear sign of who he was. Maybe his size had scared off? The thought was shut down as soon as it began. No reason to go back into the loop of racing thoughts and emotion. Now was a time to act and to extend a greeting to Alina.

In a low and warm tone Thor called out to her, “Alina my love. Why do you flee from me?” Thought he kept his tone warm and light the edge of pain from her going away from his was not completely taken out. Though he had to admit she was looking slightly ragged. The travel must have been harsh on her. He knew with her lack of training or memory she had to have had difficulties travelling down on her own. Secretly though he was proud that she had made her way down here on her own. The strength he had seen in her was not wrong. However he hoped that she would recognize his scar and voice enough to at least explain to him what was happening.

[Alina]

Alina had almost made it past the ivory giant when she felt his hot gaze on her back. If she was fast she would be able to escape him before he made the move to pursue her. Right as she was about the take off she heard that word that she had been avoiding for almost a month now. Love. That word that once uttered couldn't be taken back. Alina drowned out the other words that followed choosing to focus solely on that word. That one that caused her so much confusion and uncertainty. The voice that accompanied the words was very similar to Thor's if not a little deeper. So familiar that she couldn't help but look back at the stranger. What she saw was the colossal brute charging towards her, and even if it was non threatening she took another step back. Perhaps Thor had a relative that he had not mentioned because there was no way that he had grown so much Yet as he approached and his scar came into view Alina froze where she stood. Her eyes widened as she took in the rest of his face and she yelped is shock. Thor had gone back to his pack so it made no sense for him to be here now. It was as if he had been waiting for him to show up.

Heat prickled hot against her face as she realized her mistake. She had been sneaking away from Thor and if his keen eye hadn't picked her out they would have missed each other. As he finally got close enough for her to smell she realized why that scent was so familiar to her. It was his pack smell, and she was now trespassing on his lands. The last time they had been together he had wandered into her clutches and now it was the very opposite. Her tail began to wag and she gave a sharp yip in excitement, realizing that after wandering for so many days she had finally found what she had been looking for the whole time. Home. Once he stopped walking Alina didn't waste any time, tucking herself into his chest. His warmth and smell surrounded her and she have a contented rumble as she realized she had almost made the biggest mistake in her life. She was now panting a gentle whine entering her rapid breaths as she tried to calm her racing heart. "Why are you so much bigger? I thought only puppies grew." She couldn't help asking ever curious. They could address the serious stuff once she recovered from her surprise, for mow she just wanted to be near him.

She was still irritated with him for his earlier disappearing act, but it all seemed so much smaller now that they were actually here together.

Thor

[Thor]

Thor watched the small female as the emotions raced across her face and body. He could almost sense her thoughts as she telegraphed them. However the moment passed and she was suddenly pressed against his chest. Her small form tucked in a familiar way that he suddenly realized he had missed without even knowing. Her question made him reexamine the difference in their sizes quickly. He must have gained more mass than he had been aware of. She had always been smaller than him but now it seemed like she was a puppy in comparison to his mass.
He grinned however at her excitement and overt affection. Before he bother replying to her words he wrapped himself around her like he had many many days ago. He inhaled her scent and enjoyed the familiar smells that she carried with her, both her own and those of the lands. She smelled of the lands that surrounded them and that was not a terrible thing. Thor had been amazed at the scents this land held more so once he smelled them mixed in with the feminine scent his love gave off. She always smelled like a dust rose. Something he had come across recently that reminded him much of her. Incredible little flowers that bloomed in the harshest of worlds. They never seemed to bloom alone either, they attracted other flowering desert plants around them. Much like his tiny desert beauty had brought him to her.
“I know pups are usually the only ones to grow but apparently these lands agree with me. That or I was never finished growing.” He laughed gently his own happy growls interrupted by his speech and laughter. “Either way I think I may have put on some weight since we last saw each other. I hope this does not displease you.” His voice was full of humor but there were seeds of worry in his mind. He hoped one day to start a family, more so once he had met and fallen for Alina. Now however he was slightly worried about their very obvious size difference. He let the thought leave his mind though. There were more important things to discuss at the moment.
“Alina why are you down here? More so how did you end up in Kairos lands? Are you alone?” The questions sort of tumbled from Thor as the thoughts crossed his mind. He worried she may have gotten in some sort of trouble and that was what had brought her down to his lands. He also worried that another had followed her. However he could not contain his happiness in seeing her finally. His tail twitch with the suppressed wagging and his heart rate had shot up. Not only because he finally was able to see the love of his life, but also her presence here gave him hoe towards the future. Maybe she was coming to stay with him? Maybe she had chosen to leave her pack and join him?
Then again he had also left on what some would call less than a good note. He had told her he loved her mere moments before he had fled back south to do his job. That was probably a less than pleasant memory for her. He knew in time he would have to answer for his actions. For now though he was content to have her with him, curled against his chest.

[attr="class","pltxt"]Alina was overjoyed to finally be next to Thor, feeling the warmth that his thick fur provided. The warmer dryer climate agreed with her more than the cold ever could. Nevertheless his warmth was more of a comfort now than it was a necessity. His fur mingling with hers sent shivers tingling down her spine and the familiar tension that always existed when she was around him began anew. He seemed to be unaware of the fact that he was now a great deal larger than the last time she had seen him. She felt like a child up against him, even more aware of how great and strong he was. Making a family with him would be even more tricky now that she could barely even fit underneath his gigantic frame. "I do suppose your giant size does make you look even more handsome." She giggled licking the fur on his shoulder in a way that soothed her. The taste of him on her tongue only reaffirmed that she was finally here with him.

The journey had been longer than she had expected it to be, dragging on and on. She had barely made it here on her own, her lack of abilities in hunting had left her a scavenger for the majority of the trek. It was all worth it however to be able to see Thor standing here with her now. He asked what she as doing here and she couldn't help but feel a little twinge in her heart at the thought that he might not want her here. Her insecurities raged within her as she wondered if he had found some new life here without her. His previous words washed over her allaying some of her insecurities. "Did I do something wrong? Was I not supposed to come here." He had said that he would come back for her, but perhaps she wasn't meant to find him here. Perhaps there was some part of his home that he wanted to keep hidden from her. Alina took a step away from him looking up into his eyes, trying to find some trace of his thoughts. "I wanted to find you, I needed to tell you something..." Her voice dropped off at those last words. She had come to be here with him, leaving her pack and her friends to find him here. Some would say that it is a foolish endeavor but she didn't see it that way. She was leaving her past in order to seek out her future. Thor

[Thor]

Thor enjoyed the feeling of Alina's small body pressed against his. Again the idea of how much he had missed her small form so close to him stunned him. They had spent such a short time together last time and she had left such a broad mark on him. He hadn't even realized he had been missing a part of himself until the moment he had laid eyes on her. The relief had been palatable, and the love that had kindled so many moons ago had swam back into the forefront of his mind. He listened to her words as she spoke of their size difference and what she thought of it. He could not help a grin breaking through as he looked down at her. If she enjoyed the mass he had put on since their last meeting he had no reason to worry about it too much.

“Well I am happy the increase of our size difference did not reduce your opinion of my looks.” He leaned down and nuzzled her neck gently. With his head next to hers the size difference was more apparent. An amusing though passed through his mind as he realized he could probably quite literally fit her head into his mouth. The thought passed as he instead chose to nuzzle and lick her neck and cheek affectionately. As he brought his head back up he instinctively looked at the lands around him to make sure there were no others. He felt no shame for his choice of mate but the last thing he needed was for someone to pass on misinformation. He had been gone from much of his packs activities lately and he wanted nothing less than to trouble his pack or position.

As he spoke he watched her reaction and suddenly realized how he had come off. As she seemed to recoil in on herself several inventive expletives passed through his mind at rapid pace. He immediately followed her motion dropping his head level with hers and locking eyes with her. “Alina you did absolutely nothing wrong by coming here. I won't lie I wish it had been me that come to you but I am nothing less than absolutely amazed and happy that I can see you again. I want you here with me, I want you where I can always see you. I meant what I said when I left. I love you Alina though I could not explain why if I was put to claw and fang, however the fact of my love for you is no less true in my head.” As he spoke he continued to bring himself closer to her physically.

He listened to her half finished sentence and brought himself nose to nose with her his head canting slightly to the side so he could look her directly in the eyes. He gently licked the side of her face running his muzzle alongside her own. “What did you want to tell me love?” He voice carrying the weight of his love and care for in his tone. He wanted no secrets or half truths between them. He would do what he needed to do to keep her in his life. Even if it cost him his pack, even if it cost him his life he would give gladly to make her happy.

[attr="class","pltxt"] Alina couldn't help but swallow a little apprehensively. Every time she tried to step away from him he only advanced further keeping them close to one another. His tongue rasped over her cheek and neck making her tremble at some unknown feeling. This feeling made her want to forget all of her fears and doubts and just entrust herself to his mercy. She whined a little trying to contain her excitement. His closeness was making her lose her train of thought and if she didn't speak her mind now she knew that she never would. His warm brown eyes bore into hers making her lose herself in their handsome depths. She had it all worked up in her head, what she wanted to say and how she wanted to say it, but now that she was here it was slipping away. She made one last attempt to put some distance between them moving out of his reach. Alina gave a little growl trying to get him to give her some space to think. She needed to be far enough that she wasn't drowning in his scent and his heat.

Alina wanted, no needed to be able to see his reaction to what she was about to say. This was the final step of her journey. Finding Thor had only been the first part of her trek, and now that she had found him it was time to confront him. "When you left me to rejoin your pack, you left me so confused. I didn't have a way to work out my feelings. All I could do was be sad over the fact that you were gone." There was no blame in her voice, because the rational part of her brain knew that he had to go to his pack. Her own loyalty to her pack kept her from developing any anger towards him. Instead she had been left to mull over exactly what she had felt for him. There was no doubt in her mind that she liked him a whole hell of a lot, but did she love him. It had taken her days if not weeks to figure that out. "I have never been in love so when you said you loved me I was so scared and confused. I couldn't figure out what it was about you that drove me so crazy, but now I think that I figured it out." It wasn't his strength or his size that was so appealing. It was the fact that from the very beginning he showed her nothing but kindness.

His love for her had been evident since the moment she laid her eyes upon him. A part of her had been drawn to him, but after spending more and more time with him the bond seemed to blossom between them. Even now she could feel the butterflies in her stomach reminding her of how much she needed him. "I don't feel like this with anyone else. I never had and I never will. All I know now is that I need you. I love you." Thor
