    Summary

    Do you have someone to protect?

    He did now, but only after years of fighting to listen to what he knew was important.

    And now, centuries after his father’s words resonated with him, he stood at the threshold of the kitchen, watching his mate cook with his grandpups, going unnoticed by them all. She still radiated that same warm smile and comforting aura that had attracted him to her all those years ago. She still had that kindness in her soul that he was fond of even though he found it exasperating at times. She still held herself proudly, never letting go of the fiery spirit of hers that made her so revered by youkai and human alike as the years had gone by.

    There were days he would wake up to her soft snores as her wavy black curls tickled his chest, and he didn’t dare move lest he wake her from her peaceful slumber. He could watch for hours as she slept on, considering it such a privilege to know that she had chosen him out of all the others to spend the rest of her life with. And when she woke and would playfully scold him around loving smiles for watching her sleep, he would drink in the moment, imprinting it in his mind forever, lest he forget.
