When Danica woke she found herself lying face to face with Mason. His eyes were shut and his breath was coming steadily, it seemed that he was still deeply asleep.
Examining him up close as he slept she couldn't help but find herself appreciating just how good he truly did look. Even with five o'clock shadow he still looked handsome.
"Done staring." Mason murmured catching Danica off guard.
"You were awake?" Danica demanded slapping his shoulder. "Why didn't you say something?"
"Then I wouldn't have caught you checking me out." Mason chuckled opening his eyes. "Did you sleep well?"
"Well enough." Danica responded beginning to stretch her sore muscles.
She couldn't stop the wince that came when she lifted the shoulder that the female rogue had bitten.
"Careful." Mason said quickly sitting up. "You don't want to reopen the wound."
"I won't." Danica insisted. She didn't know how to r
Mason laid atop Danica kissing her as his hands roamed leisurely along her body. Pleasant shivers ran through her where he touched sending her over the edge with each and every stroke. Ever since she had openly admitted to accepting Mason he had begun trying to fully possess her and she wasn't stopping him.Their shirts laid on the floor beside the bed that they currently occupied along with their pants, the only thing remaining were Danica's bra and panties and Mason's boxers."Do you know how beautiful you are?" Mason murmured against Danica's lips as his fingers began to play with the edge of her panties.Danica could feel a blush working its way up her neck and onto her cheeks. Even though they had already gotten to this point and she had done things to him earlier in the day she couldn't quite calm down."Relax." Mason murmured pressing his mouth against Danica's once more."How can I relax?" Danica asked beginning to shake.&
The sensation of her flesh mounds being kneaded woke Danica from a light doze. The sun had only just begun to rise and Danica had just been allowed to try to rest, but it seemed that Mason was already done with his nap and ready to go again. "Mmmmmm Mason...." Danica moaned as his fingers began to pinch and twist at her nipples making them grow harder than they already were. Danica was still in heat despite having been up all night doing it with Mason. No matter how worn out she felt after, the minute Mason touched her bare skin it would send her into a frenzy again and she would need him. Closing her eyes she now arched her back against Mason's hard frame luxuriating in the feel of his hardness pressing against her peach as it slid between her legs. Moaning against her neck Mason bit down on the spot that he had marked her as he began to slowly thurst his hips back and forth teasing Danica to no end. His hands that were still playin
"Stop it..." Danica groaned as Mason had begun his morning onslaught. "I'm not ready to wake up yet."Reddish pink light had begun to try to infiltrate Danica's closed eyes as she woke more and more. After the long night Mason had put her through she was not ready to get up and if she had the cability to turn into a wolf she would be scratching his eyes out right about now."We have a lot to do today." Mason chuckled continuing to try to grope at Danica's chest as she hid it against the bed."Would you stop that?" She snapped slapping at Mason. "Haven't you had enough fun?"Mason considered, "No, I don't think I have at all."Danica opened her eyes and glared. "That sounds like a you problem."Laughing Mason rolled out of the way just as Danica begun to swat her pillow at him."Okay, I'm getting serious." Mason said holding up his hands in defeat."Better." Danica grumbled while yawning.Get
Air escaped Danica's lungs as Bella slammed her hand into her solar plexus leaving Danica stunned and gasping for air. Free from quaruntine Danica could resume training. She had three days to get some last minute practice in before they would be heading to the darklands."You've gotten weak over this past week." Bella huffed as she helped Danica to remain standing. "Too busy getting it on with your mate to think about training?""What are you talking about?" Danica asked blushing.Bella smirked, "You do realize your neck is covered in hickey's and that mark is screaming loud as day."Turning bright red Danica covered the spot Mason had marked her, as if that would make Bella forget what she had seen."You're cute." Bella giggled. "This is why you're so fun to tease."Caught off guard Danica wasn't ready for the body slam that Bella dealt her. Gasping she tried to break free but ended up having to tap out."Isn'
Danica peered at the strange looking portal shimmering and falling like a waterfall in front of her. They had arrived in front of it about ten minutes prior and Mason had busied himself setting up camp outside of it along with his men.The day had finally arrived for them to head to the darklands to search for the Sarff clan and to begin trying to find the sorcerer that had cursed her. They had left early that morning and driven for most of the day, followed by a long trek through the woods until arriving at the portals location.Initially Danica had been confused by it, after all it was in the middle of the deepest part of the woods where anyone could find if they were to trek far enough. That was at least until Mason had explained to her that Nigel had created this portal specially for them. That had led to Danica wondering why they had to come this far if he could open one where ever the hell he pleased."Come on." Mason sa
"Is this truly safe?" Danica asked eyeing the portal in front of her."Getting cold feet now?" Mason asked with a chuckle teasing Danica. "Don't worry it will be fine, we have used portals before.""When?" Danica asked quirking an eyebrow."Remember the entrance to the elders domain?" Mason asked reminding Danica of that god awful experience all over again."I had managed to forget, but thank you for reminding me." She said sweetly.Mason couldn't stop the grin on his face, "Come on, you should stop holding grudges.""Right." Danica hissed before turning her full attention back to the portal in front of them."If you two are done, we need to get moving." Chris grumbled.Danica couldn't help but feel bad for Chris, because he was Mason's beta he had no choice but to come along on this mission to the darklands. That meant that he had to leave Bella behind and no one knew just how long it would take to find the sorcere
Standing before Danica was no longer a woman who was pissed, instead stood a massive grey wolf that was eyeing her hungrily. It snarled and snapped showing its teeth to try to make her back down, but it had another thing coming.Smiling Danica motioned for the wolf to come at her. Even though this would be considered a dangerous situation, Danica wasn't afraid and therefore the dark being within hadn't bothered to stir, instead leaving this to Danica.Obliging the grey wolf ran forward howling as it jumped and extended its claws. Lifting her hands Danica grabbed the wolf by its fur and heaved throwing it to the side. The people standing around hollered appreciatively as the wolf stood up shaking its head before facing Danica again."Still not going to stop?" Danica asked sighing, "Alright, lets continue then."Snarling the wolf ran forward again this time trying to knock Danica down by force instead of by jumping. Lowering it
Outside the black snow had finished falling and the whole area beyond her tent looked to be covered in ash rather than snow. Curiousity getting the better of her Danica quietly exited the tent so she could get a better look at it. She had woke up much earlier than everyone else so she had a little time to kill before it was time to go about waking Mason.Stepping out into the snow she found that it felt just like normal snow would underneath her feet, granted she didn't know what she had expected, but it was just too weird to not expect something different."Not a good idea to venture too far alone." Turning Danica found herself facing the warrior that was called Vincent.He was watching her with a curious expression on his face as if he couldn't quite figure her out."I didn't think anyone was awake." Danica said as her cheeks flushed."I was second on watch." Vincent explained smiling. "We couldn't possibly lea
"Any news?" Danica asked Bella as she hovered around fixing her hair. "How many times do I have to say it? Mason will let you know if they find the harpies and trolls." Bella huffed slamming down a blush brush. "Now, could you please be still so I can finish your makeup." "Yes ma am." Danica replied snapping her mouth shut. A month passed by in a blur, no matter how much Mason's scouts searched they just couldn't seem to find Marie or her army. It was an odd occurence, because anytime they would get a trail it would vanish as quickly as it appeared, leaving everyone at square one once more. Though they had recruited the help of sorcerer's to see if they could possibly find the harpies with their abilities, even they came up empty handed. It was almost as if they had disappeared from existence entirely. After two weeks of this is was almost as if the war was nothing more than a bad dream, aside from the casualties that b
"Acting tough now are we?" Marie laughed taking Danica in. "Do you really think I'm scared of you?""You should be." Danica growled as she felt something within her begin to stir. "I still owe you for my parents, a life for a life sounds fair."Tilting her head back Marie let out a loud laugh, "Come then little wolf, show me what you can do."Lunging forward Marie held out her clawed hands ready to grab Danica, but Danica was faster, moving out of the way before turning and grabbing Marie by her wing. Heaving she yanked and threw Marie to the side causing the harpie to stumble.Not giving her a chance to regroup Danica pounced tackling Marie to the ground. Shrieks escaped the harpie queen as she fought for Dominance against Danica."Get off me!" Marie growled as she clawed at Danica's face. "How dare you a puny wolf think that you are any match for me!""Seems like this puny little wolf is the one in control rig
"Let's go." Danica ordered beginning to move forward only to be stopped by Mason. "What?" She demanded meeting his gaze."You can't possibly think that I'm going to let you step anywhere near any of that fighting." Mason hissed."Why not?" Danica demanded trying to break free of his grip. "You can't possibly think I'm just going to sit here and wait for who knows what!""Yes, that's exactly what I expect you to do." Mason responded seriously. "You are pregnant now, your priority is keeping our child safe."Mason's words felt like a slap to Danica. Even though she really wanted to be beside him fighting, he was right, she was pregnant now and her top priority was to protect the life that was growing within her. No matter how she wanted to try to deny his logic, she simply couldn't."What am I to do if they breach the dorms?" Danica sighed conceeding to Mason's point. "Should I not fight back then as well?"
"You going to be okay?" Mason asked wrapping his arms around Danica."Yeah, I'll be okay." Danica responded leaning against him.After returning home Mason decided to run a nice hot bath for the both of them, his way of trying to help Danica feel the slightest bit better about the news they had recieved.Stripping had been slightly awkward for Danica due to Mason's blanching when he saw the scars that now permanently littered her back from Marie, but once she had submerged her body she couldn't help but admit that the bath was helping."Do you think this little one will be born into a peaceful world?" Danica asked closing her eyes.Mason who had slid a hand to rest on Danica's stomach let out a long sigh, "I hope so.""You don't have confidence in beating them?" Danica asked eyes widening. "I thought that was what all the preperations were for.""When it comes to war you never know what will happen." Mason pointed out pulling Da
Two weeks passed in a blink. After the night of Danica's rescue, Mason began to gather all reinforcements across the entire continent, preparing for an outright attack on the trolls and the harpies. Arlo, who remained neutral, had decided to stay out of the entire thing along with his elven brethren, a fact that surprised Danica greatly given his strong aversion to her.Nigel and Ash busied themselves collecting the sorcerer clans from the darklands that were willing to help the werewolves with the war as well, though their numbers were few they would still be a major asset when the time came.For the entire two weeks signs of army building was detected by scouts that Mason hid within the darklands, from what was being reported it wouldn't be much longer before Marie and Talon waged their attacks and this time Mason was well prepared.The room Danica and Mason shared had been converted into a mini headquarters where Mason held meetings and planned at
"I'm going to be a mom?" Danica asked not sure if she had heard the doctor correctly. "What do you mean I'm going to be a mom?"The air around Danica had grown thin and she was having a very hard time breathing. After everything that had happened in the past two days, she wasn't sure she could even handle anymore surprises. Not to mention, there was about to be a war, how could she possibly have gotten herself pregnant?"Exactly as I said Luna." Dr. Gerald chirped oblivious to the fact Danica wasn't happy about his news. "You're about a month along already."Turning her gaze to Mason Danica tried to make sense of what was going on. Unlike her Mason was smiling from ear to ear as he met Danica's eyes."We're going to be parents!" Mason exclaimed laughing. "Are you sure Dr. Gerald?""Yep, pretty positive the hormone levels don't lie." Dr. Gerald confirmed passing his clipboard over to Mason. "Congratulations
"Any brilliant ideas?" Danica asked while looking over her shoulder at the harpies that were quickly gaining on them.'Just a little further.' Mason responded picking up speed. 'There is a portal ahead and reinforcements waiting.'"What about the ones that were in the harpie palace?" Danica asked as fear clutched her heart. "You've got a lot of explaining to do when we get back."'Sure.' Mason chuckled."Now's not the time to be laughing."From behind Danica could hear the harpies and trolls gaining on them. It seemed that if they didn't reach the portal soon they would be recaptured."They're gaining on us!" Danica shrieked while ducking as a harpie swooped down towards her from above.As the harpie attempted to right herself something unseen slammed into her sending her flying to the ground. Hissing and shrieking the harpie tried to break free from whatever had hold of it.From the wounds that we
Danica bolted as quickly as her injured leg would allow her down the brightly lit hallway looking here and there for a room to sneak into in an attempt to throw Marie. She had managed to lock her in the stairwell, giving herself some time to make some distance, but the door wouldn't hold the furious harpie queen much longer.Turning to look behind her Danica didn't expect a strong set of hands to grab and yank her into a dark room before wrapping around her mouth to stop a scream that tried to escape."It's me." Mason's voice whispered in Danica's ear sending a wave of comfort through her.Turning slightly Danica looked into his warm green eyes as all her fear and worry immediately washed away."About time." Danica sighed pulling Mason's hand away from her mouth. "I was beginning to believe you wouldn't be able to find me.""Nothing in this world would stop me from finding you." Mason insisted with a small smile.Feeling her hear
'Danica...' the soft voice drifted into Danica's mind as she hovered between awake and unconcious. 'Please....' The wolfs bane that ran through her veins kept Danica from truly being able to be aware. She could only guess that Marie was worried if she was fully alert she would try to contact Mason through the mindlink and give away what was going on. 'Please respond.' The voice seemed to be growing desperate. 'Where are you?' Trying to collect all her strength Danica did her best to connect with whoever the voice belonged to. In her delirious state she wasn't fully able to place a finger on who was calling out to her, but she had a feeling it was Mason. 'I don't know.' Danica's voice came out in barely a whisper as she fought to stay aware long enough to communicate. 'Some underground holding cell.' 'Did you see the scenery when they brought you there?' Mason demanded as Danica felt his anger beginn
