~Mate~
She was powerful yet she allowed him to take her.
Her submission was sweet and he reveled in it.
Yet she was, in many ways equal to him.
Together they took the shattered remains of the west and gathered them in alliance.
All of the firstborn came.
Bowed to his power and stature as Alpha.
Any who did not, he let flee.
He was not his father.
She chided him, yet that was all.
He ruled as he willed.
He called her mate.
She smiled coyly and let him.
They were drawn to each other, like powerful satellites, they circled always drawing close. Together they gathered the power and position she wanted.
Deep inside he hoped she was as loyal to him as he was to her.
Still he knew, that one day, she might drift from him. Most demons did not linger together. It was not in the nature of dogs to mate for life.
Toga wanted loyalty with affection.
Once more Toga knew he was different from the others of his pack.
