He finds her with ease. A rabbit's scent was always easy to find. He finds her back among the other rabbits. He snatches her up just like that. She doesn't put much of a fight, most likely for the safety of her fellow rabbits.
He doesn't ask her why she left.
He just takes her back.
She's quiet throughout the whole walk back home.
When they get home, he latches the collar back on her neck. And that's when she speaks. "I don't want this," she tells him.
Kylo ignored her comment and touched her hair, smoothing it down.
"I don't want to be with you," she said then, shaking his hands from her.
Instinctively he growled. "You don't have a choice," he reminded her. "I spared your life. You belong with me, Rey."
Her eyebrows furrowed. "You have to wake up. What kind of life is this for the both of us?" she screamed. Her eyes were blood shot red, voice was trembling. "We aren't supposed to be together. We belong with our own kind."
"And what? Live the way that we were designed to live?" he screamed back. She's attempting to unfasten her collar but he restricts her - holding her down by her wrists. Growls escape him during the process. She's putting up a fight and this angers him- "Can you honestly tell me that you were happy before me? That you were happy living a life of a prey?"
"What life is this for us?" she shouted.
"And what? You want us to go back to the way things should be? What's the point of living like that if we weren't really living to begin with?"
Rey blinked and slowly she became limp in his grasp.
"We are eventually going to die," he loosened his hold on her. "It's inevitable, it's fate. But I rather enjoy life the way I want to." He leaned and rested his face on her throat. "I know that rabbits don't live as long and I want to spend whatever's left with you." He pulled away and looked at her in the eyes.
She doesn't move away from his gaze but instead matches it. "If I do die before you, what would you do with my body?"
"I would bury you and mourn for you like all mates do," he pressed his nose against hers. "I don't think I can ever betray you like that, I'll never will. You need to let go of the social constructs. We are more than just a wolf and a rabbit."
She lets herself go into her animal form then. He follows her and does the same. He lays on his side for her, for her to sleep on him. She laid against his fur and for once in a long time, she felt safe in this form.
