The Alpha's Prickly Porcupine
He is a warrior in his element, and for all my hatred of him, I cannot deny the sheer, lethal beauty of his defense.
He pulls me back up, a move of raw, unchecked strength, and I am pressed against his chest again, my heart syncing with his. We are a singular unit, fighting for a chance at life in a world that has decided we should burn. As we stabilize for a split second, the rogues swarm closer, their eyes burning with the same feral hunger I saw in the courtyard. I realize then that this isn't just a flight; it’s a siege. And I am the prize they are willing to burn the sky to claim.
