She had started to gather up the blankets to take them outside, but she continued to listen to his reasoning.  He was right, the packs in Blackvayne's lands did not have leaders.  They might have an alpha pairing, but their role was perfunctory at best.  Blackvayne was the only leader.  And he did not need to raise the next generation of leaders, because he would live into the next generation.  No reason to share power if it was not going to be passed down.<br/><br/>"I definitely don't think he'd give power over his lands.  He might do alliances, but not sharing."  She agreed.  He did not even share the women in his harem, they were his and not to be touched, unless it was in some kind of kinky way that he had all the power over.  "Those allies would have to be able to withstand the threat he poses, though."<br/><br/>Vara smirked and rolled her eyes as he pulled her in.  She noticed this was a trait of his, he would make light of something that was heavy, almost as a reassurance.  "Something like that, yes..."  Her hands had settled onto his chest, but the slid upward to cup his face.  She looked at him a moment, and leaned in to kiss him.  It was soft thing, gentle and in need of comfort.  Vara was out of her depth in this situation.  "He acted like driving me to you was some kind of act of revenge for rejecting him, but it feels a lot more like he played matchmaker."  It had made her so angry at first, but it did not matter what brought them together, they were here now.  They seemed to have each other's back.
