"With your state... it’s only a matter of ti until your first shift"
My eyes turned wide. "You an..."
"Yes my love, as much as I would love to see your Fox again... I’m afraid we have to find a way to stop it from happening"
I frown deeply. "Why stop it? The Fox is a part of is it not?"
"Your mortal body can’t handle the shift nor the weight of it, it might get out of control. Besides there’s no exact way to stop the Fox, it’s all about you, like Celeste said, it’s your ’will’ that will stop it"
"But..." I began. "What If I don’t want the Fox blood to stop?"
His eyes narrowed. "You should understand the gravity of this, my love, it’s not safe"
"But what if there was a way to control it, a way to wield it"
"Yelena"
"Nicklaus" I ca at him, seated on his lap, he leaned backward with a sigh.
"You must understand why I’m doing this, I cannot put you in harm’s way"
"I’m not in harm’s way, Nicklaus... This Fox part has always been with ever since I beca mortal, rather than set it aside it’s better to embrace it" I reasoned.
"Who told you that?" He asked his gaze on with so much intensity.
"Alaric"
"I thought I told you to stay away from him... now you heed his words?"
"It is his advice that brought us back together, I will have you know that"
"I have my reason, Alaric can be a bit confusing sotis, We barely know him because of his travels and he has done things in the past that caused this Realm trouble... gods he gives a headache, I do not know why he ca back and I hope it’s not for more trouble"
"I didn’t know that, he seems nice" I shrugged.
"Sweet innocent wife" he shakes his head.
"What? What trouble did he cause exactly?", I was suddenly curious, Alaric didn’t seem like the trouble type.
Nicklaus sighed heavily, he seed like he didn’t like talking about Alaric, well too bad because I was a curious fox and he could see that.
"My brother is very spontaneous, although we grew up in the sa tree branch, we are not exactly blood-related, the theory of brothers and sisters were forged solely because we spawn in the sa branch but not by blood"
"But both of you seem like twins, he has all your looks and Celeste too"
"The sa branch," he said clearly. So growing in the sa tree branch the na of brother and sister was forged but they weren’t exactly blood-related? That was confusing.
"He is knowledgeable but he is very untad, he makes jest around too much"
I raised an eyebrow.
"Has he ever ntioned sothing about his charms and whatsoever about the ladies?"
"Well at the ball, the ladies seed captivated by him and..." My eyes grew wide, and I gasped, closing my mouth. "Oh my"
"Exactly... he is a swinger"
"Are you serious?"
"The worst of the kind... also known as the god of lust"
I snorted a laugh and then burst into it.
"This is not funny love"
"S-Sorry... but I... but I... I can’t help it" I said in between laughter.
"Well centuries ago he went too far and he got mixed in a triangle between two mates... not that he did it internationally, it was after he f**ked his way through, the young maiden found her mate, and she belonged to a very powerful god one of the noble Vampires who ca to visit"
"That is serious! What happened then?" I seem more interested now.
"Got chased to the end of the Realm, I had to clean up his ss by going after him"
I burst into another peal of laughter.
"gods Yelena this is not funny... the Noble Vampire threaten the throne"
"But a big bad vampire like you handled it," I said in amusent, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Yes I did," he said with a smile on his lips. "Do you know the Realm Alaric stumbled upon when he thought of escaping"
"What Realm?"
"Yours," he says, hands on my waist and yanking towards him, our faces re inches apart.
"What?"
"That’s how I t you"
I blinked puzzled, trying to put two and two together but it didn’t click.
"Alaric seed to calm down back then but once a swinger always a swinger"
"I see," I said with a frown.
"Are you alright? I told you he was bad news"
"I’m fine but he seems okay though"
"It’s his bad habit that makes him the worst," he noted.
"But he never goes towards mated ladies right?" I asked.
"No he does not... what happened centuries ago was a mistake"
"Okay"
"Now enough talk about Alaric" he pulled my hair behind my back. "I need you to be conscious about yourself, my love... I understand that you want to embrace your fox but-"
"It’s my choice to make," I said in a firm tone, he was about speaking but I placed a finger on his lips, making him still. "I need you to support in this, will you?" I asked with pleading eyes, he looked at them for what seed like monts before sighing in defeat, he took my hand away before giving it a gentle kiss.
"I will"

The door slamd shut as Nicklaus walked the grand lobby, his looks unreadable, as he made the next turn, about five guards followed him behind. Nicklaus didn’t understand why Yelena chose her Fox, this wasn’t gonna end well and he knew it, what more her Fox ans her mories would co forth in another way, what he was desperately trying to avoid, how was he gonna convince her to stop?
His jaw tightened, they just finished one tiff he wasn’t about to get into another, Yelena was a fla.
"Leave ," Nicklaus said to the guards, they ca to a halt allowing him to walk alone, Where was that damn Alaric! Like a blur, he was suddenly before a door.
He was about to barge in but the doors opened by a maiden, still trying to set her gown straight she was still partly naked, Nicklaus just rolled his eyes.
The maiden seeing him gasped and hid her face, at least thanks gods he decided to go with hoes this ti.
"Emperor," she said with a very deep bow before dashing away.
"Alaric" Nicklaus murmured under his breath, this is why traveling suits him, staying in one place calls for kinds of stuff like this. He marches into the room.
"Ha brother... isn’t it early for a eting," Alaric said putting on his shirt to cover his ripped muscles, Yelena was right they looked like twins, their looks also identical, but their voices a different mix of manliness.
"I see you’re enjoying your day" Nicklaus began sternly as he folded his arms, he looked around the room and saw different maidens’ clothing, it was lesser this ti at least.
"Gotta live up to the reputation don’t you think" he mused.
How typical of him.
"That brain of yours is going to a waste with that habit of yours, haven’t you thought of settling with a mate and releasing all the beastly tension you have with all those won with one" he intoned walking to the dresser where there was a wine bottle there.
Alaric’s eyes saddened but after a minute it was seen it was gone.
"You seem quiet about the word mate," Nicklaus said pouring two glasses of wine, he turned. "You’re always quiet when you hear the na ntioned", he stretched his hand with the glass. Alaric walked up to it, taking it. "Surely you do not intend to be unmated like a sister"
"Hmm" he just made a sound while chugging his wine. "Our views are different brother in case you haven’t noticed. I’m the god of lust, losing up is part of it" he adds, taking a seat on the couch and crossing his legs. He didn’t want to discuss that sensitive topic, it’s better he let it die down.
Nicklaus eyed him with intensity. "I heard from my wife that you’re the reason our tiff was settled"
"Well I just gave a word of knowledge, she’s smart to know what’s right" he shrugged like it was no big deal.
"Does your word of knowledge involve telling her about her fox blood being part of her since she was mortal?" he said, taking a sip at his wine. His heated gaze on Alaric, who finally t gaze with him, the intensity from their looks only.
"That’s the truth," Alaric said with a slight frown.
"I’m sure you know and understand how dangerous that is"
"You cannot hide that part of her"
"You don’t get to decide that!"
In a blur Alaric was before Nicklaus as they stood toe to toe, their heights marching perfectly.
"Is that so?" Alaric began. "Then why are you blocking her mories!"
