AMARA
Borin's house was shaped similarly to the chiefs and had many rooms. Before they entered the threshhold Amara asked Borin "How many mates does your mother have?"
Blake responded nonchalantly with
"She has five including my father, however they are out on a trading mission with the nearby tribes today. It's only me , my brother and mother currently." After saying this Borin pushed open the door and walked inside his home. A young looking but burly man inside turned around after hearing the door open. His mouth opened wide and he stared at Amara. The unfamiliar man quietly sighed the word "beautiful." Amara instantly felt a aggressive aura erupt behind her and turned to look at Borin. She was surprised to see a aggressive look on Borin's face.
"Don't get any ideas Tuskar. She's mine." Said Borin with a snarl. Amara couldn't help but blush and feel tingly inside at Borin's claim of her. Amara's first heat would be coming soon. Usually in the phenix tribe it gets induced on their coming of age ceremonies but Amara never had hers. Amara quickly prayed she would be able to control herself when the time came. Borin's warning didn't scare off Tuskar. He got closer to Amara and said
"Hello female I'm Tuskar, Borin's brother. You are?" Tuskar was Similar looking to Borin however had a scar across his cheek. Amara wanted to make a good impression with the family she would be staying with temporarily. She smiled softly and said "Hello I'm Amara." Tuskar's eyes widened at her smile and he reached for her face. Borin quickly pulled her away. Amara was set on the ground gently by Borin. She looked up and saw Borin go up to his brother in an aggressive stance. Once he got close to him, Amara heard Borin say boldly
" I sense your intentions with Amara I don't care if your my brother anyone who wants to like her has to beat me." Tuskar stared at his brother for a moment in response. Tuskar said back coldly " why? I can tell she's not your mate." Borin narrowed his eyes at him and said proudly
"She will be." Amara felt guilty when she heard this. She didn't believe she deserved love Borin was in love with her appearance. He wouldn't want to be with her if he knew what she's done.
Tuskar sighed and waved his hands in submission. Borin relaxed and smiled. Trying to smooth the situation Borin said to his brother.
"Where is mother?" Tuskar gave him a side eye but responded.
"She is with the other females and cubs in the town center." This statement pulled Amara out of herself pity by striking her strong curiosity.
"Is the town center big? " Asked Amara trying to get the male's attention.
Borin replied to her happily.
" I'd say so, it's where my tribe does most of its meetings and trading." This response appeased Amara and she nodded.
Borin walked back to Amara's side and said carefully "There is some meat I will bring it to you. After I will bring you to my room to sleep while I go and find wood for our house…" Amara was hungry and excited for food but was also touched because Borin was looking for her consent before going out. He was making sure she wanted to live with him. Guilt loomed on the horizon of her heart, but Amara smiled and said gently.
"That sounds amazing."
