The Safe Haven

Hunting

Wow another top A/N.
I'm really digging into America's trauma, so it may be triggering to some I'll put a little warning like this: _-_-_-_-_-_-_
Before it happens.

Russia's pov
☆°•☆•°☆

I noticed America's change in behavior when his father came. I unraveled my arms from his waist and stood by his side. My mate hugged himself and looked away from Britain as he walked away.
"Stars, do you want to hunt with me today? If you don't know how I can teach you," I offered. The tension melted off my love's shoulders and nodded. "I'd love some elk," he quietly said.
I chuckled, "Those might be out of your reach," I continued in a more solemn voice, "I don't want you hurting yourself."
"Aww, isn't that adorable," Canada gawked.
"I kicked your ass fourteen days ago, do you want me to do it again?" The beautiful country threatened his younger brother with an extended finger.
"Oh my God. I love you so much," I whispered under my breath as my soft gaze landed on Stars, who was still glaring at his brother and completely blocked out my words.

China smirked and got off his chair and my mate quickly took his place to arm wrestle Canada. Their relationship is truly brotherly love.
"Your America is quite the rare case, huh?" he silently observed.
I shrugged. China and I were getting close, but ever since I had that dream about him kissing my Stars, I've been distant.
"He is beautiful, strong, independent, smart, and witty. There isn't a thing I wouldn't do for him," I looked at a prideful American and a grumbling Canadian, sour from the recent loss. My brother patted Canada's shoulder like a tired mother.
"You're a lucky man, alpha Russia. Potential mates like America don't come by too often," China crossed his arms.

Stars smiled at me before rushing over to me and placing his mouth over mine. It didn't take me more than a second to melt into his touch. We parted, too soon, and I noticed the mischievous glare in my mate's eye.

"Stars?"

"Yes?" He responded, holding my hands to his chest.
"What was that for?"

"Oh just wanted to wish you luck because Finland will be right behind you in ten seconds," America chirped out before pressing a short-lived kiss on my cheek.

"You love making my life ever-so-slightly difficult, don't you?" My rhetorical question was answered quickly.

"I just make it interesting. Bye, love ya!" My mate scurried away.

China's gaze followed America. "Truly fascinating."

And as my Stars said, Finland cleared his throat behind me. "May we talk. In private?" He asked. I sighed and showed him to my home office.

That fucking sucked. He wasted two hours of my life talking about how I should've kicked China and Britain to the curb and how I'm starting to appear weak.
But.
I.
Don't.
Care.
My pack members have been part of my life for years. The only people that I need to intimidate are the Rouges that come by every so often to challenge my place as an alpha but I always kick their asses. And the Facility. I have to keep them at bay after what they did to my America.

"Hey, Russ." Thinking of the angel, there he is.
Stars poked his head in from the door frame. I smiled at him and walked over to the shorter country.
"Hey Amerika," I purred. Stars chuckled and ran a finger along my jawline. There's nothing more I'd rather do than to have a quick make-out session, then some cuddles right now.

"Still want to go hunting?" Stars asked politely.
"Of course, my Stars," I responded. I turned America around and lead us to the forest.

There was a small plane where we stopped.
"What game are we going after?" I asked. My flawless mate shrugged, "I was thinking of the bigger game, like deer, or elk, but since there's two of us I can settle for a turkey." I nodded. Oh, he hasn't seen my wolf form before, has he?
"Let's change into our nature forms on three okay?" I suggested, glancing at Stars, who was focused on the small snowflakes drifting from the sky. He must've heard me and refocused on me. I counted up to three and transformed. My almost black fur stood out from the frosted snow scenery, unlike America's white fur. His gem-like eyes glistened as we looked at each other. A rather large, beautiful, white wolf with small black-shaped speckles running along his back and paws.
"Beautiful," I gawked and took a step forward in an awestruck haze, so did my mate. He smiled and tucked his head under mine in a form of a hug to spread a bit of his heavenly scent on me.
"So are you," he smirked as a blush ran across my face, although hidden by the fur. Stars chuckled and gave me a gentle bump to let me know he was ready to go.
