Aivu

Sirmiq stunned the Wolves of the Beyond with his declaration. "Aivu is my mate now. Mine. She will bear no cubs other than mine." Aivu herself was the most shocked. She'd always considered him a friend. Not a potential mate! She'd always been far more partial for her alpha, not that she'd ever say so. But she found herself stuck. She'd always been a softspoken wolf. She did not object or correct anyone when her packmates questioned if she was pleased to have such a sought after male and when she started this relationship. Her Alpha, her crush, made no move to stop it either, as she was unaware of Aivu's true feeling. And as her Alpha was a female, she didn't have the same…possessive nature that male alphas had that led them to drive away any and all competition for breeding. She welcomed him in the pack, seeing his worth as a strong and rare wolf who could give good pups. She allowed him to mate and have cubs with Aivu, who gave no sign of disagreement of the arrangement. Aivu wouldn't say she hated it. Not at first. He was kind to her, and she believed she could grow to love him one day. She also couldn't deny her desire for pups, she'd been considering seeing the pack stud recently anyway. But only after it was too late did she begin to see a more sinister side…

Aivu realized far too late how she had been slowly isolated by her old friend now mate. He saw other wolves as danger to her and the unborn pups in her belly and constantly drove them away before she even saw them. It was to the point where the thought of even speaking or checking on Aivu wouldn't cross anyone's mind, her mate wouldn't allow it after all. Then he'd moved their nesting place from the pack den to a solitary cave in the territory, claiming it was for her sake as the noise and crowded nature of the pack caves only stressed her and that wasn't healthy for the pups. She had agreed, as she WAS socially anxious, so the privacy had been nice at first. It was only while she was expecting after all. (Although now she wasn't too sure that was the case anymore.) He allowed her alpha to come and visit, (she was the only one who would even think to anymore), that was the one line he dared not cross. But Aivu saw the bloodlust, jealousy and envy in his eyes every time his eyes landed on her alpha. There was murder on his mind, she could tell. Her mind raced. She…had told him about her crush on the Alpha…long before he claimed her as his own. She didn't realize he still remembered that. She tried to warn the alpha, only to realize that while Sirmiq had claimed he would go and leave them to their gossip, he stood guard at the entranceway, his ears angled back towards them, listening. His paws were digging into the dirt, showing his agitated state. And so Aivu had the alpha leave early, blissfully unaware of how close to Sirmiq's hungry jaws she had gotten. Sirmiq stared hard at Aivu, not saying a word as she groveled and whined, sensing his fury. He'd sensed what she had meant to do, meant to say. But he said nothing, did nothing. He merely left the cave after what seemed like an eternity of silence.

He returned that night, jaws bloody and eyes gleaming, almost manic. "What a shame. There was a…bear attack. I couldn't save her…" He sneered, stalking closer as Aivu felt her world crumble beneath her paws. He lowered his muzzle to her ear and whispered "Now nobody will stand between us. No pack. No filthy alpha. I will protect you. Even from yourself…"

Now, now Aivu was truly alone.
