Meg “Red is here, but she says she can’t find Blue,” I commented, not fully alert to Red’s distress, fully already occupied by my own worries. Holding back my tears that are threatening to flow like the banks of an overfilled river, while avoiding clutching my chest. I reply to her and she goes into a semi-state of confusion. But I am in my little world of anxiety, to notice her movements. "She's funny.” Jax’s sarcasm is met with a sober expression. “But are you positive you are okay, Juliet?” And without warning, my legs giveaway and I crumple to the cold floor. His cry of alarm reached my ears as sobs wracked my tiny frame, each tear a testament to my friend whose warmth enclosed around me, kissing my hair and soothing me with his muttered shushes, patting my back. My feelings of overwhelm fade. He kissed the top of my head, tightening his arms when he heard my whimpering. Never have I been comforted in all my life, so it has me feeling some t
Meg Red’s ears perk up when Blue says, Red frowns not understanding so I tell her he just means that it could be a rare happening. Red disappears again but not altogether, just from me. I can still feel her presence. I call to her, but she's gone. Blue also calls out but even he is ignored. Blue whines pitifully at her closed-off state. He is angry with me and might have said more but Jax stops him. Why is Blue coming at me? He seems to think I am the world’s biggest liar when it comes to our alpha, and now with Red? How did he know this? Red confided in him without me knowing? Of course, she did. Upset but also knowing it is selfish of me to not want her to do her own thing, I let Blue’s
Meg Shaking my head yes, I motion with my thumb and index finger coming down close together, to indicate a very small amount. My facial structure is serious and unsmiling but my tears flow. “Shit,” Jax hisses, leaning forward to wipe my tears but I push his hand away, almost violently. How do I tell him the real reason I do not want to change now even though I want to, after all these years, because of his support? Sniffing, my friend finishes the cookie and as he is about to wipe away the crumbs from his lips, he sort of goes into a zone-like state. Red then tells me it’s the alpha. It’s then I understood that those phased moments he’s had, had been them talking to each other by mind link. Blue. It’s not a ‘help, the zombie’s got my brain’ sort of phased-out, blank appearance, but more like a distracted one. Then Jax gets up, replacing the clip and then the box back where he found it and makes a trip to the freezer and I know he’s going to get me ice cream, but I leave and he
Jax In the middle of the forest, I lay in my birth suit once again, against a huge oak with my eyes closed. Blue has had his lengthy run- along with two rabbits- ugh, I could still taste it on my tongue. But he’s sated and resting, finally leaving me to my thoughts. Since my return, I have done nothing but think. First about Emily- who I am over BTW, and then about my doctoring. I sent in an email advising them to look into someone new last week but now after learning about Meg’s plight- Now, I think I should leave the pack and take Meg along with me. At the very start, I knew Meg was different. Sure, her aura was dull and her wolf spoke to Blue and me alone- which was weird and part of which I speak of. Also, I don’t mean the part where Meg- I grin just thinking about how her nose twitched- curled up her nose in disgust for certain things- my cologne for one. And before that, she didn’t like the dishwashing liquid I used. And she was always sweating and also smelled differently.
Meg Something moved in my stomach. I think it is the first time our baby is moving as well. Or might be wind. How long does a foetus take to move? Either way- Alpha Soren- whatever his middle name is, if he has one- Aaberg is going to be a father. Baby Aaberg. I sounded it out in my head. Hmm. Currently, we are at the riverbed, Jax and I, but far from the usual crowded or overpopulated areas of the pack. The thick trees around us would even conceal us from nearby eyes even if we were spotted. And the plants surrounding us are Akon- Greek and when translated means dart. The dart plant or monkshood, name comes from the sepal, the outer part of the flower, that covers the bud as it develops and supports the petals. The sepal resembles the cowl that monks used to wear. But it is more commonly known by most as 'wolfsbane'. Rumoured to be so powerful that even the Gods used it. Athena used it to turn Arachne into a spider. Hecate is said to have discovered the poison and used it to k*l
Jax’s POV Taking the flavoured water, I hand it over to her after opening the plastic bottle, Megan takes a long drink before she answers me. She's distracted thinking of the muscled woman, who could be no more than five years our senior. “Uh, yeah, I guess, if you’re into the bad attitude, would beat you up type. I heard she ate a dog once. It’s a rumour I do not believe but it does give me some sort of entertainment." Laughing at the last part, Meg covers her mouth when it turns to giggles. Grinning because I achieved my goal, my stomach grumbled then, reminding me of the purpose of bringing a basket of goodies. But her smile vanishes when I open the kit that has- hmm, beef sandwiches. Yum. After a light meal, Meg watches while I give Blue reign over me and he alters into the wolf. Her entire face lights up and he walks over to her, encouraging her and Red to touch him. He hopes it will encourage Meg to give her wolf this chance as well. Red is in awe and Blue tells me she lo
Miles and miles away on the other side of the mountainThe old wolf, Rael, knew he was not alone anymore. His nose didn’t work like it used to, neither his eyes but his senses did and he could feel it in the air. The electricity, the stillness of it. His human, Varian, is almost too weak to think from starvation. At the edge of a desolate clearing stood a crooked figure draped in tattered robes, the wizard of dubious repute known as Malakar. Of course, they did not know he was a wizard but they could tell he was some sort of powerful. They’d only met the creature NEVER before. But the skinny frail-looking man with the thin long black and white somewhat lengthy beard was familiar to them, and though Rael was startled to come across the tatted cloak-wearing man, the wolf did not show it. At least he thinks he hid his emotions well. See, Rael and his human had been dreaming of the wizard weeks before. And he’d always pointed towards the waterfall- which is where they were right now.
Meg “What do you want- omega?” Chris spits out at me, his mouth twisting in a snarl. Chris is a gamma, and his power gets to his fathead sometimes. No, he isn’t overweight, he’s just stupid. Gammas are in line for beta-ship so they hold power in their aura. Alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta then omega in that order. A luna rules by the alpha’s side. The alpha holds the highest rank of all, and nobody questions his leadership. In some packs, some do try to take the leader roles and a fight to the death happens- most times the alpha wins and either kills the attempted mutineer or he disowns him from the pack as the act of defiance can never be forgiven. Exile is better than death. You will then be a rogue- a wolf without a pack. Defenceless as your family has the choice of leaving the pack with you and being out of the protection of their pack and alpha or they can choose to stay within the pack and sever ties with you. Beta is the next alpha chosen by the alpha himself. In
