1 hour of sleeping later
I was woken up to the sound of yelping and I knew it was the diamond dog I saved I ran to her room with tempest behind me and when we entered the room was trashed there was claw marks on the inside of the door as well and I spotted her on her bed with her blankets around her and she was shivering in fear and when she saw me she ran to me and wrapped her arms around me tightly with no intention of letting go as she continued to whine in a scared tone and I looked around the room and there was no sign of someone trying to get in the house and she only started to calm down when I wrapped my arms around her as she cried in my chest.
"It looks like it is worse than we thought" tempest said and I nodded their is no telling the amount of pain and suffering she went through those five years and me as the only source of comfort for years she must have thought I abandoned her and left her and I that's when I noticed their was blood on her wrists and when I looked at them they were cut not deeply but enough for some blood to come out and I healed her and looked around and saw a knife with blood on it and I looked at tempest and she saw the same thing i did and she looked horrified and then I thought 'I am the only thing that's giving her the will to live' I thought as me and tempest nodded and we led her to our room where she would sleep with us from now on and when we got into bed she laid beside me clinging to my arm with tempest clinging to the other as we went to sleep.
Next morning
When we woke up i noticed that both of them were gone and I noticed there was a bit mark on my shoulder near my neck and as I walked down stairs when I entered the diamond dogs latched onto me and looked at me with terrified eyes as tempest walked over to me "I was trying to get her used to not being around you but she tried to kill herself again" I looked to the diamond dog and sat her down and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen.
"I want you to write your name" I as she wrote something on it and gave it back and it said.
"I don't have one" it said
"Then how about I give you one" i said as she hoped in my lap and started to like and cuddled into my chest "your name will be Aiko" I said as she hugged me.
"What does that mean" tempest said
"It means loved one her name will be proof that she will never again be alone" I said as I saw a tear leave tempest eyes as she sat down next to me and Aiko sat on my lap with a legs on each side of me and kissed me and wrapped her arms around me and stopped kissing me and gave me another note.
"I saw what you did with your herd mates and I want to be the first of your pack" it said as she kissed me again and got off me.
"I think we should let her" tempest said as I nodded as Aiko gave me another note
"And don't worry about other diamond dogs trying to seduce you the only way for them to join the pack is for them to talk to me because I left my mark on you last night it is a ancient magic that only diamond dogs can feel and they will know that you are claimed"
I looked at the bite mark I found when I woke up and saw it glowing slightly and I heard a knock on the door and when I opened it I found my caption of my personal guard along with 500 guards with him.
"Ok I want you start patrols around ponyville to keep them safe" I said as they nodded and walked away and as I closed the door and walked back in the living room I saw Aiko was shaking but when she saw me she stopped shaking.
"It's ok" I said as I hugged her " you don't need to worry I won't ever abandon you" I said as she closed her eyes and hugged me back and as we finished hugging a letter appeared in a bright flash of light and I began to read.
