Reunion Event - AU #2
It has been so long, but if she can think back on the last 10 years Keira would be happy with the path she has chosen. Around 10 years ago, Hennessy claimed Keira when the two of them grew even closer and happier in each other’s presence. He secured for her the only thing she truly wanted - the ability to shift during the full moons. Once more with permission from the school she could free her wolf under the pale moonlight. It was quite an adjustment for Keira to allow someone into her life fully like that, but she continued to feel safe and protected in Hennessy’s heart. She truthfully did not know how she would fare the trials of him being poly, but she soon found she could be happy in such a situation. He still cared for her deeply no matter who else he cared for as well.
Hennessy took her off the island for trips, he showed her his home in England and she wished she could show him her home - though it was nothing short of impossible. One day when they were curled up in the black fur blanket that always reminded her of her own wolf’s coat, she told him the truth. Of course he had suspected that something traumatic had happened to her, but he never knew just how much she had been through. He held her close and promised once she revealed everything that he would never let something like that happen to her again. In private he started to call her Freya but he knew he still needed to protect her true identity.
Keira graduated and was quite proud and pleased with herself. However, Hennessy did not wish to leave the island and she did not wish to leave him. Keira had come to love him deeply and hoped to stay with him. Perhaps forever. She secured a job full time at the vet clinic while Hennessy continued to teach.
Over the years he has become colder towards others, he has indeed become more selective. Keira still brings out a warmth in his black heart and it is quite clear how much he warms up when in her presence. Since they were already stationed at the Institute, it was quite easy to agree to attend the reunion. She is quite curious to see how others have turned out.
