[hider=Shadow][color=2e3192]As Iris went through more files Shadow turned away for a moment as he looked outside thinking to himself, but when he turned back around as she spoke he blinked for a moment as she stood in front of him. "Sleep wouldn't be too bad. Especially since it's a full moon tonight." She took his mug just as he was about to take another sip of it, but as she stood so close to him he couldn't help to just smile, "I probably should, but that's hard when there is no one to lay beside you that will chase the nightmares away." Watching her take a step back from him it almost made him frown, but he nodded as he grabbed the cup and poured it down the drain, "Good night, Iris. Rest well." Rinsing out his cup before putting it beside the coffee pot for in the morning he closed his eyes and sighed softly.

Not knowing if she was standing behind him or not let alone if she could hear him or not he softly spoke as if he were speaking to his Mate or to Iris, "I should sleep, but I feel restless. I feel there is so much to do and not enough time to do it all in. Then again I've been like this for some time now." Shaking his head he turned and walked to his bedroom, but instead of shutting the door all the way he left it cracked just a little. In his bedroom he pulled off his muscle shirt and laid on the bed as he tossed his shirt to the side. Looking at the moon he started to think to himself, "Soon I'll have to take a mate won't I? If I don't then the pack may grow restless and think they need a better Alpha. Issue is I'm the strongest and the fastest out of the males. I guess I'll cross that bridge when it gets here."[/color][/hider]


[hider=Crimson][color=ed1c24]Crimson sighed heavily, but she wasn't about to give up so easily. Not only was it the nature of the beast inside her, but it was her own nature to never give up, "What if I could insure you there was a way to control me at all times? What if I gave you the power to make me bend to your will without you using your power?" Ban watched silently between the two as he sat on the desk. Even when Leopold slammed his fists on the desk he never moved. Anger was something the cat expected, but he wondered how far and how much Crimson would press before she finally obeyed Leopold.

Holding Leopold's gaze she stepped toward him still her eyes showed no sign of fear even to his anger, "You want me to leave, but if I did leave and the others heard about all that happened and you let me go ALIVE wouldn't they STILL do the same thing? Instead what if they heard that you tamed a half blood in it's vampire form AND it's lycan form? I think then they would fear you, but not only fear you. They would also have to admit that you ARE fit for your position and no other could replace you. You have brought peace to these lands, tamed something that there were only rumors about. There couldn't be anything else left to question about your strength, knowledge, or power. Allow me to stay, remain as I am, you will have total power over me and I wouldn't be able to betray, hurt, or disobey you or those that you protect."[/color][/hider]
