It had been three days since Magnus had told her of her fate. Three days of soul searching, denial and finally acceptance had brought her to Steele's den. True it wasn't quite winter yet and not her her heat cycle, but she wanted to let Steele know of her decision. Chiara planned on going through with this and wanted to know what was expected of her. Not knowing if her and Magnus were forbidden from making any contact or if she and Steele would be sharing a den all winter. Unsure she approached his den with respect and cleared her throat outside it.

"Alpha Steele? May I have council with you sir?" She asked, her voice horse from not having spoke since her encounter with Magnus. The thought of the deed didn't worry her much as she knew her Alpha wasn't doing this out of hate. Even he wasn't as bad as her father. No Steele was nothing like Kane. He wouldn't force himself upon of out of spite when she was barely a year old. Chiara was determined to raise this litter strong to make him proud. Maybe then would he allow her and Magnus to be together. She would have his support in this too, even if Steele allowed it only from a distance. She knew Magnus would back her up.

Hearing the call from the outside of his den, Steele was quick to approach the den's entrance. The large male picked his body up from the floor, and pressed his paws to the cold chill of the stone ground. His winter coat was thick and growing thicker by the day. The storm had caused his coat to force itself thick faster than previous winters here. He shook out his body, giving his coat a fuller look to it. Walking for the outside world, his eyes caught a glimpse of the snow which now covered the land outside his den. His life-less eyes looked to the Guardian before him. "Chiara, you may speak with me. Please.. Come in." It was not a question nor a way for him to be kind to her. It was more of a command. His voice was hard and cold just like the wind. It cut through her, but left no damages. Steele walked back into his den. He invited her in for more than one reason. The first being he did not wish for on lookers to see the two of them conversing. The second would be for if she were in heat and ready to commit their deed. But as she entered the den, his nose told him she was not ready. For shame. The midnight brute had wished he would get their deed over with, so he could then use the remainder of his affections on the one he loved. Just thinking of her forced his mind to flourish with images of them committing themselves to one another completely. Looking to his Guardian, he pulled his mind back to reality. "What is it you need to speak with me about?"

Like a life-less shadow Chiara followed her Alpha into his den. She had little to be concerned about seeing as her heat cycle hadn't come yet. The chill on the air told her, however, that her time would come. Soon she would be here again, only for a different reason. "Thank you for your time Alpha. I wanted to tell you that Magnus has told me of your decree on my be half. I have accepted the request, though I feel its more heavy then a simple trade for us being mates next year. Magnus didn't say anything but I fear something bad shall happen if I refuse, thus that won't happen. I will come here again when my cycle starts and bare your litter." She said, coming to a sit before Steele. Her eyes held before him with little emotion, there was no time for that anymore.

"I did however want to know the conditions of what is expected of me. Magnus didn't tell me details, but mainly I wanted to know the aftermath of this." She questioned, unsure of how to word it. Would Steele be a father figure to the pups or would they grow up thinking Magnus to be their sire? Would Chiara stand alongside Steele this season or would his brief encounter with her be just that, brief? A tiny part in the back of her head yearned to tell him of her nervousness for this upcoming moment. To tell him of her last encounter with a male. Quickly though that thought was pushed away for she knew Steele would hold no sympathy for her predicament. "Do you require anything else of me sir?" She finally asked, feeling more uncomfortable in the den with him.

"You want rules. Fine, I will give you rules. In the beginning of your heat, you will come to my den. You will stay the whole night with me. I will mate with you numerous times, making sure you are filled with my seed. Magnus is not allowed to be near you, at all. He will not be in your den, he will not be in a close proximity at all. He will not shower you with affection, and you shall not shower him in affection either. If I see either of you making moves or being cuddly, I will both cut you down a peg. Do I make myself clear?" he snarled angrily at her, baring his teeth. He did not want her to think this was some joke or for Magnus to think it either. He looked over the female, smelling her and knew she was not ready yet. But he also knew that Katyusha would want to make sure she was pregnant with his young first, before embarking on their journey of parenthood together. "That is all, Chiara. You may leave."
