Racing the Clock -Yaz-

[Zeke Snare]

For three nights Zeke had stirred from sleep, restless. For three nights he had rose from his bed, changed and had gone for a run alone. It wasn't even by concious decision but what his beast demanded. As he wandered under the partial moon sky, he was restless. The feeling was unusual for the eldest Snare. After all, he was normally under control. He had the manor, his family here and his mate. And everything was wonderful with Yaz. They ran together, hunted, slept next to each other in bed.

But Zeke's wolf had been reminded by Anna's announcement that she was pregnant. She and his brother were having a cub. Now his wolf was running wild. His tail once more was developping and itch and his human mind was trying to outrun it. Only, as his King had learned earlier, maybe this was one thing you couldn't outrun.

[Yaz Montena]

Again she stirred when alone in bed, Yaz rolled onto her back and sighed. Each night he'd done this now, and she was beginning to worry about him. But every time she'd asked he'd strugged it off. Tonight was part of her final straw if it were. Tonight she rose out of bed, pulling on a robe and followed him.

Stood on the porch she watched him change, leaning on the wooden frame. "Oh Ze." She muttered to herself, before following him down the path. It was time to find out what was going on with the man she had risked everything to be with.

[Zeke Snare]

Zeke's golden eyes focused up on the form of his mate and he sat on his haunches; panting. Coming to her side, he licked her hand and slid alongside her calves with his fur. He knew she worried and he understood but he couldn't tell her what about. She'd given him everything- Even her life. How could he ask that she do this for him now?

[Yaz Montena]

She smiled, an stroked his cheeks, catching his tail in her hands playfully.

Yaz, still smiling, softly sat down and let him come to her. "Whats it all for Ze?" She asked him.

[Zeke Snare]

Zeke rested on her lap for a moment and then changed back. "I can't get some fresh air?"

[Yaz Montena]

She stroked her fingers through his hair, the other hand resting on his chest. "Its 4 in the morning."

[Zeke Snare]

"The air seems fresher this early."

[Yaz Montena]

She sighed; "Fine, dont tell me- but can you not wake me tomorrow morning?" She asked him, and Yaz got up sharply, letting his head drop back against the ground.
