The Duke's Bride

[Wylde]

Wylde strokes Tova's hair, murmuring soft things in the language of the wolves. 

[Tova koshack]

"Mine" I murmur pulling her into my arms

[Wylde]

"Still want me?" she teases. 

[Tova koshack]

"Yes." I smile snuggling agents her. "Still want me?" I murmur

[Wylde]

Wylde licks her cheek in response. 

[Tova koshack]

Shiver slightly and conger a quilt for us befor snuggling into her chest and dozing off

[GamesMaster]

Not an hour later she's got a big fluffy white wolf draped over top of her, panting happily in her sleep. 

[GamesMaster]

Meanwhile, back at the castle, Elaina hears something unusual: the sound of vomiting out one of the windows a few doors down. 

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

 I wrap my shall around my arms and head down the hall. I nock softly on lances door be for entering. "Lance are you all right"

[Lance Roidmet]

Lance pulls back into his sitting room from the bed chamber, looking pale. "Dinner didn't agree with me," he groans. 

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

"I'll tell Tova tomorrow to leave out the barries then." I say gently "how are you otherwise?" I ask

[Lance Roidmet]

"Ill. What do you want?" he snaps. 

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

"I.... I don't know.... I just want to make the world better, and you're part of that." I say earnestly

[Lance Roidmet]

"Forget about me. Why do you want me at all? Why not be free of me? Surely any man could get you what you need."

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

"Legally speaking no. But I don't care so much for the law. I know truthfully I could pay some poor priest to say he wed us... but truthfully? I've missed you. We were so close as children and I hate seeing you so consumed with grief that you've stopped living."
