The Tiger Within

Raina listened as Winter Wyn gave her the story of the dragon children and the skills they learned before moving on . Kyera however, didn"t need this lesson . She turned and left her daughter in the capable dragon mother"s hands and walked away from them . There was a sadness in her heart as she walked through the nests .

Covis followed her, curious as to why his beautiful kitten seemed so… troubled . The expression on her face was solemn as she glanced around the crystals in the room . She slowly grazed her hand lovingly over the nest . He sidled up behind her and slid his arms around her, unable to keep himself from holding her . Whatever was bothering her, was not something he wanted her mind to dwell on . "What is going on in that pretty little mind of yours, My Dear Wife?"

Advertis.e.m.e.ntKyera"s hands came up to rest gently on his hands . "There is so much I want to tell you, but most of it is childish nonsense that I doubt you would want to know . I think it"s the baby . My body wants to nest, and my heart wants to strengthen our bond before . . " She trailed off there was something in her voice that he didn"t like . Something he had never heard before, at least not from her .

She was a princess in marriage and in birth, not to mention she was also a warrior in her own right, through her own abilities . Even acting as a Mother to Raina had seemed to come easily to her . Yet, he was willing to bet that the tone of her voice was… insecurity . He wasn"t really sure what to say . "Before what?" He asked gently, figuring that was the best plan .

"Before I have the baby . " She replied sitting on the edge of the nest . "I think… my instincts want me to share with you so that you will remember who I am… inside . " His mind clicked . Suddenly, he remembered how SHE had behaved when Raina was still in the womb . Kyera must have been feeling the same emotions, and yet she hadn"t whined in the same manner that Feya had . He should have known and that guilt was gnawing lightly at his heart .

"That baby will not do anything but make you more attractive to me . There is nothing undesirable about a woman who is a good mother, especially not when she is my perfect wife . " Clovis whispered as he kisses her neck with the soft rea.s.surance of a husband who cherished his lovely wife . He smiled at her and then that smile slowly turned to a frown . She had not cheered up, instead she looked even sadder . The deepness in those golden eyes was like molten gold swirling and crackling with insecurity and fear . She chewed her lower lip in contemplation . He reached up to brush a pale strand of hair from her eyes .

"What if I am not a good mother?" Kyera asked glancing back at her . There it was, the truth of the matter . Clovis stood tall behind her, and slowly spun her around so he could look deep into her eyes . HIs cold blues were serene and confident, but also warm and rea.s.suring . "Kyera Shade of the Moon, Princess of the Dancing Wind you are an amazing mother . Why would our cub be any different?" Clovis asked patiently, remembering how good she was with Raina .

"Raina was already a child when we met . She has you, but she doesn"t need me . What if our baby needs me and I am already gone? What if I die during this war before our child is even old enough to remember me? What if the cub does remember me? It will be nothing but pain . " Kyera finally broke down and her heart poured through her lips . Stubborn tears pooled in her eyes as she explained what was going through her mind . Those blasted emotions were toying with her heart and twisting it till there was physical pain to deal with .

"Kyear, You are not Akira . " Clovis told her gently, but firmly . It was completely clear that she was not allowed to argue with him on this . "You are my wife . You are Raina"s mother . You are this Cubs mother and you will come back to me, to us because you are not allowed to do otherwise . I love you . " Clovis told her, his eyes warm and filled with a sense of determination . "I won"t let you die . " he added kissing her forehead .

Kyeara hugged him hiding her face in his chest . "Thank you . " He smiled at her words and kissed her hair .

"Anytime you need a reminder, Kitten . " He whispered wrapping his arms around her and slowly rocked back and forth slowly .
