It seemed his lover was also fond of mind games and when those didn't work Zen was not above using force.
Then Lithe realized it might not be Zen in control right now but his inner wolf; this was like dealing with a split personality at times he never knew when the grouch wolf would show up.
He said, "Even though you are my true mate, we are far from equals until you prove yourself to me, I should be allowed to touch you where I please."
Lithe shook his head but before he could respond his own forgotten golden wolf spoke out, "I might be weaker than you for the time being but soon I will regain all my strength. Don't get cocky and think you can trample over my shell without there being any retaliation."
"I want to get to know you better, golden wolf. I will wait until the day you can show me who you truly are," replied the black wolf.
How could it be that Zen's breath felt even hotter than before?
