[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=171717] _____________________ He stood shoulders back, arms at his side, and face serene yet strong as his features usually were. The aura he potrayed was one of a leader, though at times he had his doubts about hoe some in his pack felt about his leadership. He on the other hand never hesitated with his decisions, he had been trained well and he would not dishonor those before him with doubt. He knew his mate was just as equipt to handle things. Watching her now, as she changed back, shifting from her wolf's heavely form, to the equally appealing stature of a human. Her clothing of choice were those for warmer weather like his, and her radiance was easy to notice. Training sessions with here were always a struggle on his mind. On one hand her skills were applicable, on the other hand he was blinded by her beauty, and her sweet voice. Snapping out of his slight daydream, he realized that she was through shifting and now attempting to speak to him. He grinned at her words. It was obvious that he trusted her with her skills, but he wondered if it was only obvious to him. She was so strong, he hoped that she saw it in herself the way he did when he looked at her. Taking in her thoughts on the new threat that they would eventually have to deal with, he responded as he felt was right."I don't think we have to fear them just yet. However strengthening our pack is probably a good idea. We shall have to avoid gaining notice of the other packs though. If they think we're being overly active they might go on the deffensive themselves. We won't be caught unaware though I assure you." Her touch fell on his cheek and shoulder, her dainty hands so light and delicate looking. Tuvio moved his head into her hand ever so slightly, and took her other hand in his own giving it a slight grasp. She then rose up and kissed him to which he responded in turn kissing her back. He broke the kiss before they got away from what they were supposed to be doing. Taking a few steps back he took a stance squaring his shoulders. His left hand stretched out at length, and his right bent and centered near the middle of his chest, his head turned towards her. " Your move dear." _____________________ 475: words.

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=564c3d] _____________________ Aurora watched her mate stand so tall, so strong and not so much physically as mentally. It was as if he knew the answer to everything. Whether it was a simple question or an important issue that may have threatened the pack. She wished that she could be that way. She wished that she was stronger and a better Alpha that was closer in skill to Tuvio. That was what every Rulin pack member needed. It was times like these that Aurora thought she wasn't the right one. Not only for the pack, but also for Tuvio. She constantly asked herself how she came to be in this position. Why did she deserve this? The truth was she didn't believe she should be the Alpha, she didn't believe she deserved Tuvio's love. This was a constant inner battle Aurora fought with daily. It was very hard on her at times. Tuvio's voice interrupted her thoughts. I don't think we have to fear them just yet. However strengthening our pack is probably a good idea. We shall have to avoid gaining notice of the other packs though. If they think we're being overly active they might go on the deffensive themselves. We won't be caught unaware though I assure you. Aurora silently nodded, smiling faintly. "I don't think they would notice if we practiced fighting more, because we would do it on our territory. Unless they have been trespassing no one would should find out." She added softly. Aurora felt the light pressure of the weight of his head resting in her hand and also the light squeeze of her other hand she received from his larger hand. She could feel his rough, yet soft skin touching hers and it made her body tingle. Even if she didn't believe she deserved his love, she sure as hell loved him. Aurora had never felt this way about anyone before. When he returned her kiss it felt as though her entire body's temperature rose. She started to let her imagination run wild a little bit before he pulled away and her thoughts trailed off and refocused on their goal today. Tuvio took a few steps away from her and Aurora did the same. She brought her arms up and out, almost in the same position as her mate's, except hers were a little lower. Your move dear. Aurora nodded once, taking in her surroundings. She finally decided on her plan of action for the moment. Quickly running towards her mate she started to move her arm out as if she were about to hit him. But she quickly darted her leg out, to kick his at the back of his knees and sweep his feet from underneath him and either throw him off balance or knock him to the ground completely. _____________________ 468:words.

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=171717] _____________________ Confidence radiated throughout his being as he watched and waited for her to make the first move. Even after sparring with her consistently over the years, he knew to be very careful. Aurora was crafty and would not hesitate to take advantage of the slightest weak link in his defense. Tuvio was going to have to work hard to stay ahead of her. well I don't think I will be able to move fast enough to stay ahead of her movements...... she is quicker then me in reacting during most cases, however I will do my best to try and displace her footing first this time. Least now my thoughts can stay here where they belong at the moment, instead of on matters of the distant future that aren't yet a problem. He hoped that no matter what, that his mate would bring it. She needed to become more aware in his opinion, aware of how strong she was. True she was an alpha, but is an alpha an alpha if they don't think they are fit to lead. Tuvio knew she was more then capable of leading, however she needed to start showing it more. Admitedly he had been using there mental ties for his own purposes recently. He could always tell something was bothering her, because of the bond he didn't have a choice in the matter really, it was like his own stomach was turning with doubt at times. To some in the pack it would appear as weakness, but not to him. To Tuvio it was like a beacon meant to challenge his ability to make her feel more sure of herself. If anyone tried to stand up to her then he would not be able to interfere as traditions prevented him, but he would be damned if he didn't do everything withing his power to stop something like that from ever becoming reality. Switching back to the task of the fight at hand, he noted how she too had stepped back. Now they were several feet apart, and both were focused on making the other surrender and admit defeat. Accepting a loss was definalty not his favorite past time, and he was not about to do so easily. His gaze locked on hers, and he caught the troublesome glint in her irises. That look he knew all to well, and sure enough she had a scheme up her sleeveas she darted towards him. With her fist leading the barrage, Tuvio went to grab her hand in mid flight before it could hit him. Then his eye caught the movement near his side and with a flash her leg tried to sweep him off his feet by connecting with his knee. A smart move no doubt, and a good one at that. Thinking quickly, he caved on his knee to allow it to bend with her leg as it hit him, making it seem like she had his him with a full blow. Hopefully if he succeeded in tricking her, he could then lock her leg in between his thigh quad muscles and his lower leg muscles to hold her in place. For good measure he was going to try and tackle her to the ground with his other hand. Putting his plan into motion he started to feint with his knee, just as she was about to hit him. _____________________ 567 words.
