The Rouge Prince and the Alpha Werewolf (KUSTARD!)

I Want to Protect You

My soul picked up pace as he hugged me. It thought he was mad at me? Why is he..? "sans... let go." I demanded. He should hate me, not hug me. I don't understand why he stopped the Vampire. Does he want me to suffer too? "no. i'm never letting go again.."
"sans-" He looked at me with his ears pinned back and blue translucent tears in his sockets. "i'm so sorry red.. i-i didn't mean it, any of it! i didn't mean to make you feel like shit or to snap on you, i was just so damn jealous-" He stopped when I brushed his tears away with my phalanges. "i hate ta see ya cry.. please stop cryin.." I whispered. "r-red.." Sans whimpered. "it's ok, i forgive ya... i... overreacted. i'm sorry.." I apologized in return. "and i'm sorry for falling for lust's shit. i'll be more careful... if ya will still have me.." Sans nodded. "of course, of course! it's not the same without  you in my life red." His tail wagged happily and I found myself blushing over his words. Did... he really mean it..? "s-sans? whaddya mean?"

💞💞💞

A heavy blush consumed Sans face as he let go, averting his eyelights. "sans?" I asked again with uncertainty. "i... want you red. i want to protect you from everything, and i know that i can't actually do that, but... you mean everything to me, you're everything i'd want in a mate. i don't care if you're a mage, a vampire, a wendigo, i'll always feel this way about you.." That's... a confession... that's a fucking confession! My soul soared. "holy shit, that's just... fuck..." Sans quirked a brow, both amused and slightly unsure of what I was saying. "i, uh, what?" He asked. "it means i love you too, now c'mere!" I pulled him in for a kiss. "mm-" It was short an' sweet but it was all I needed for the moment. I can't believe Sans loves me! "so... uh... what about your pack..?" I asked now that everything was established. "will i be like their other alpha or some shit?" Sans laughed a bit nervous. "no... i can have you as a mate, but you wouldn't be accepted as the alpha until the entire pack unanimously agrees." Huh. That's interesting. "ok... so that's an immediate no, that's fine." I shrugged. As long as I had Sans, I'll be good. I want to protect Sans as much as Sans wants to protect me, so we're good.

💞💞💞

Eventually we went home, hand in hand. "i got one more question. do werewolves have a ceremony or something like marriage?" Sans blushed a bit. "yeah, actually. the ceremony is held the closet next full moon... unless the couple gets together close to a full moon, in which case it'd be the full moon after." Red snickered. "why a full moon?"
"sacred werewolf traditions." Sans replied with a chuckle of his own. "so... about... a week from now then?" I asked to which Sans hummed. "sounds about right. then we'll be officially mated." It was my turn to blush. That sounded wrong in so many ways. We broke through the treeline and Sans lead me back to my cabin. "got much to unpack?"
"nah, just my blanket an' my meat." Sans gave a nod, kissing me on my forehead. "k, i gotta go do alpha stuff, but don't be afraid to hunt me down if ya need anything... i'll be announcing our engagement tonight, alright?" I nodded. "sounds good... sweetheart." Sans smile widened. "love ya red."
"love ya too, sans."
