❆ ₄ rink ❆

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ The other seemed so confident. Karina was always exuding strength, but Anya didn’t know how she was so sure. It was a large risk…but the beta couldn’t think much more of it as the others pheromones shushed her imposing anxiety up quick. The blonde wolf moved off from the other’s lap as she went to stand, also pulling herself up on the ice with a little bit of help. Effortlessly the alpha skated them to the exit and took off the skates tk trade for her shoes. Anya watched and held out her free hand for the skates as the other still held her closely. “Where to?”

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ Karina looked at her and she had sound a bit worried that her father might find out that she's alive, she holds her hand gently yet securing. "He won't find out as long as you avoid getting into Qishan, or any Wen people..." She smiled and holds her face again, "I will keep you safe from now on, I promise." The alpha told her, smiling still as she is happy with her. Then she slowly stands up, despite wearing the ice skating shoes, she manage to stand up and assist the other to stand up. Her pheromones are getting stronger as she looked into her eyes, "Let's go, before we both go freezing in here." She chuckles and learns to move through the ice thanks to Anya and they get off the rink, taking off the shoes and then holds her hand lovingly.

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ Anya moved her lips softly with Karina's, feeling her face get cupped by a warm hand. The beta reached up to place her hand lovingly over the one holding her face. She sighed as the kiss broke, magic practically dancing in the air. It was so good. Anya always knew she loved Karina...but the timing was never right. And now, on the drop of a hat...they were a more free then ever. Together. "Karina..." she tested the other's name on her lips again, the love changing the way it sounded, causing the beta to touch her lips in wonder, before looking down into her lap and trying to calm her wishful thinking and pheromones', her face already flushed. "Your father will hurt you if he finds out. I don't want you to be in danger because of me." she cupped the others face with concern. Of course Anya wanted every moment with the other, but it would be Anya's fault if something happened to the alpha.

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ Her lips is so sweet, fond and soft, Karina had wanted to last this moment as she cherished this time with her. She gently holds her cheek, wanting to touch her face once again. She wanted more of this, this time with her, no one would stop them. They're both Wens, just one had deserted to Jin, their pack doesn't know how love works. However, the two manage to find love with each other. Karina felt her body starts to warm, her alpha within her was raging with the love that has been kept within her. She slowly broke the kiss and looks at Anya, "Let's get ourselves somewhere private, hm?" She softly asked the other.

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ Anya blinked, completely struck by the other's beauty and grace before her, even as they moved to sit up, having it so her jello-like legs were straddling the alpha's lap. She heard her name being called, as her heart rate picked up rapidly. This was it. All those years where Karina had been her best friend, her ally...her person. It had been denied for so, so long. When there lips touched it's like a flood of relief came crashing over the beta's body. She closed her eyes, leaning into the other's lips, wishing to stay in this moment forever.

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ She kept staring at her eyes, they were in the icy floor for long as their bodies collided. Karina couldn't resist something that has been already there, her feelings towards the Jin beta. She then slowly sat up with the beta, now staring at her lips. "Anya..." She couldn't hold it anymore and she gently leans to her face and her lips touched the other's, she always have impulsive feelings and reactions, very typical of a Wen but she is not like most of the Wen wolves.

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ Anya broke into warm laughter as the wen alpha seemed to be getting the hang of it. "That's it! You're doing amazing-" and just like that they looked into each other's eyes and Karina slipped. The beta tried to catch her before she hit the ground, but the other fell hard and fast to the ice, Anya slipping as well and landing on top of her. "Oh my gosh, are you..." even as the Jin was about to flurry into a fuss, her rush of panic completely clicked off as she made eye contact with the other. The alpha's ocean eyes glowed practically, and Anya inhaled Karina's scent. All her muscles relaxed under the alpha's commanding pheromones', her rose lips parting in the haze, eyes shimmering as she stared at the other's lips.

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ "Okay, okay..." She tries to make her feet move a bit and not to pressure too much on ice as they slide together in the rink, "Wow..." Karina smiled in victory as she got it, looking at those golden orbs but in a brief moment, her other foot slipped completely that she fell on the icy ground, dragging along the beta with her. Their bodies collided with the beta on top of her and their faces are inching closer, Karina looked into those eyes, releasing her pheromones unintentionally.

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ Anya was quick to catch the other's arms as she slipped a bit, releasing a warm grin as she was proud the other was giving it a shot. "You're doing amazing. A little more confidence- if you have smaller steps it will make the skating harder and more slippery." the beta reassured, continuing to demonstrate as she lead the other along.

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ Karina nodded as she listens to what the other said and followed the steps she had told her. She looked at her eyes before she slowly do what the beta told her, she suddenly slipped a bit butvshe is still holding on to the other's arms.

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ Anya smiled as they stepped carefully onto the ice, the alpha holding her hand tightly as she did her best to keep straight on the slippery floor. "Now, you push one skate back, and then the other. Kind of in a Z formation, like this," the beta demonstrated the motion of her feet to glide easier on the ice, still holding the other's hand strongly and awaiting for her to try it.

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ She holds her hand as she followed the other to the rink, her legs began to shake as they enter the rink before and holds her hand tightly as she looked at the beta. "Okay... What's next?" Karina asked her.

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ Anya chuckled warmly and shook her head. "I don't, but I don't need the blades to skate. I didn't always have them." the beta watched the other tie on the skates, holding out her hands to help the other stand, attempting to offer a balancing board of a person. "They treat me well, yes." she reassured, moving back and guiding the alpha toward the ice.

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ The alpha blinked at her response before taking the shoes and look at her. "Uh... you have another pair right?" Karina asked then she puts the shoes on as she sat on the bench. Out of nowhere she asked again, "Does your adopted family treated you well?" She finished wearing the shoes and tries to balance herself as she tries to stand up.

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ Anya paused as the other reassured that she didn't want to go bake, but rather learn how to skate. The beta paused untying her skates, thinking about how they were going to do this, but then compromised and took off the ice shoes. "Here, you'll need these first." the blonde girl nodded and held out the skates for the other to put on.

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ Karina looked at the other when she responded that they are going to bake cookies, she quickly shakes her head. "N-no it's fine! I was about to ask if you could teach me to ice skate... I never had touch cold ice before, let alone skating on it. I was curious when I saw a bunch of kids skating here yesterday."

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ Anya's smile faltered. 'Stupid question.' Of course her father wouldn't let her celebrate the holidays. He was a sadistic warrior- his entire world was death and war. The beta's brows furrowed as she looked down. "But you are here now..." she looked up at the other's green and blue orb, listening as the other explained that she used to make cookies and gifts with her mom. Anya felt her heart race as she knew it was a terrible idea, but she couldn't bare to see Karina like this. She took the taller's hands gently and smiled. "Let's go bake some cookies then." Anya moved out from the rink, continuing to hold the other's hands for support as she got back to solid ground, sitting herself on the ground and taking off her skates.

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ She chuckles and leans more against the railings as she heard what the other is talking about, "Do you think my father would let me celebrate this kind of holiday?" Karina responded and looked at the Jin beta. "He always told me holidays such as this are just festivities of the cowards..." She muttered as she looked down, "When I was with my mother... She'd always makes gingerbread cookies and prepares a gift for me." She looked at her hands, snow flakes poured down on her palm as it melts once it landed on her hand.

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ The beta skated over to the railing where the alpha rested, looking over the other's flawless features in hopes she was alright. "My adoptive family annually traveled to Lan so we could skate...I'm not the best or the worst." Anya nodded with a soft smile. "Did you have a good Holiday?"

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ She smiles as the other finally noticed her, she leaned against the railings as she waves at her. "I didn't know you're an awesome skater."
