I began to make wet around my mate's nest so that everyone knew she was MINE!
Chapter 11
Luna
My jaw dropped as my creature started to pee around me. "Dude, what the fuck?!" He stopped immediately when I scolded him, ears and tail drooping. "You are lucky that didn't splatter on me, mister! What the hell are you doing?"
His eyes were on the creature that whined at me. He looked upset. Wait — was this a territory thing?
My brain immediately searched for everything I knew about dogs. Was he worried the other one would take me, or hurt me? Was this a claim? Maybe a protective measure?
I glanced at the creature holding my hand, her slightly graying muzzle and tummy marking her as older. Maybe his mother? She was intently watching the three of us.
My creature seemed upset, his face a bit chagrined. Maybe because I yelled at him. A low whine from the other creature had me frowning at him. He caused this reaction somehow, I was sure of it. Hey, was he inching closer to me as he whined?
"Stop right there!" My voice was firm as I pointed at him. I know I looked mad. Good — he was causing issues, and I had no time for that. "You need to leave. You're upsetting him." I glanced at my creature before making shooing motions at the other guy.
I'm sure you're a very nice dog-man, but I already have enough on my plate right now, thankyouverymuch.
Mine stood taller and prowled towards him, head high. The female next to me petted my hand and hair. Somehow, I gained her approval.
The troublemaker slunk away and the creatures in the next room seemed to grumble at him as he went. Even they weren't pleased with his behavior.
A quiet series of huffs and low woofs from the female next to me had my creature stopping and glaring fiercely where his friend (enemy?) went, before returning to us. I was listening as they communicated. She remained calm, her paws continuing to pet my hands and hair. She sat with bent knees, her tail tucked along her ankle, while I was cross-legged. He stooped in front of me again, glancing between us as they chatted. Clearly talking about me. Something she said made him appear... proud. A full array of his teeth went on display and he appeared to puff up as he listened. I examined them closer. Their ears were tall, slender, furry, and they both had full lips, longer noses that ended in blunt tips, and rounded eyes with long eyelashes.
And then it happened.
"Luna? Are you in there?" A voice called from where we first entered the cave.
My eyes went wide as everyone jumped into immediate action.
I was shoved back against the wall with the female in front of me, crouched, and growling low. Grrr Ruff stood in front of us, claws out, fangs out, snarling with menace.
Shit shit shit!
"Hello?" I called out, doing my best to seem calm. I remained seated to show that I did not deem whoever this was a threat.
"Are you okay in there?" The question was hesitant.
"Well, I think my new friends are a little on edge right now." That was an understatement. "May I ask who wants to know?"
Was my yelling across the cave rude? Maybe.
Was it necessary? Yes, since they were 'protecting' me.
"The entire base is wondering, but especially me. I'm Dayzee, I'm in charge of you."
My brain scrambled.
Yay, it was Dayzee! She will understand, right?!
Oh no, it's Dayzee. What an awful first impression. I'm going to be fired.
Flip a coin to see which thought raced faster through my brain.
"So... I may have been kidnapped. But I think he's protecting me?"
Silence.
