None of your Concern: Arkyn carried her through the doorway and began heading to his room. Alice gave in pretty quickly and rested her head on his chest. She couldn’t ignore how good it felt to be near him. The warmth he was throwing off felt so nice, her goosebumped skin begged for it. She inhaled his scent, the smell instantly making her feel calm. She had spent her whole life on edge and it felt unreal that she could finally relax. “You're freezing.” Arkyn mumbled and pushed the door to the bedroom open. “I will be fine.” Alice replied quietly, she could feel the cold down to her bones but she was not going to tell him. “The cold can kill you.” Arkyn said his jaw clenched as he said that, thoughts of Lydia crept into his head. “You killed me.” The words rumbled and jumbled around in his head making himself feel sick, hsi stomach twisted in on itself as if it wanted to empty its contents. The quick intensity of emotion rushing out of him made her own stomach drop in respons
523:She woke up to coldness and she groaned inwardly to herself. She ws tired of this man not being here when she woke up. She felt sore all over but it was a good sore. She kenw some of it was from fighting the men but alot of it was the good kind of sore from Arkyn. She smiled a small silly smile thinking of him. She stood up and made her way to the bathroom. Touching her neck slightly as she got to the mirror. He had marked her. That meant he wanted her. He wanted her as his mate. Her fingers traced the crescent shape mark on her neck. Sparks of joy flooding through her at the thought of him accepting her. She shook her head at herself feeling silly. Then her stomach knotted. Being his mate meant being Luna. The people here were different from where she grew up. She had heard stories about how they were cold, cruel and heartless. But yet so far home was more cruel, cold, and heartless. The bright red scar on her arm flashed in the mirror. 523.How was a slave suppose to be a Lun
Jealous:“What?” Arkyn growled as he came out of the room looking at the soldier. “Beta Garold is waiting in your office for you, its all I know.” the soldier said holding up his hands defensively. Arkyn growled at him and he backed away lowering his head and baring his neck in submission. He shook his head lightly and began walking to his office. He found himself walking quickly to the office. Thoughts of getting back to Alice as soon as possible was driving his feet. Her sweet giggle playing in his head. A small smile on his lips as he pushed the office door open. “ Oh no.” Garold chuckled from the seat in front of Arkyn’s desk.“Oh no?” Njar said turning and looking to Arkyn and then a wide smile cracked across his face.“What!” Arkyn snapped narrowing his eyes at both of them. The look he was giving them just made them laugh more. Njar attempted to cover his mouth trying to hide his smile. Arkyn went to slam the door behind him but Skarde who was running late caught the handl
Going:The words hit her to her core. She could feel them in her chest as it tightened. Her stomach flipped inside of her doing small summersaults. She leaned her forehead against his, taking in the meaning behind the words. She was terrified but at peace with it. It made her happy but also scared her. She never thought she would find her mate. The plan had always been to at some point break away from her old pack and make it on her own. She never dreamed that this is what the moon goddess had in store of her. She tried to calm her nerves and just focus on the happiness of it but it was hard. Being Arkyn’s meant so many things. Things she didn't know if she was prepared for. “You are afraid of becoming Luna but each move you make. You are becoming more and more like a Luna.” Arkyn whispered to her, sensing and feeling her fear almost as if it was his own. “Maybe I shouldn't have marked you.” Alice smirked playfully in response. She needed to break the topic, she wasn’t ready for suc
Wicked: Kristen couldnt breath as she reached her bedroom door. Her body was shaking from the rage building inside of her. Her hand shaking as she reached for the door knob. She grasped in her hand the door vibrating from the sheer force of her holding it. He had marked her. He had claimed her! She pulled open the door and it came flying open. The door knob breaking off in her hand. She leer down at the gold door knob in her hand. She looked into her dark bedroom and hurled the door knob across the room. A loud smash was heard as the golden door knob smashed into her lamp sitting on her night stand. Pieces of glass shattering to the floor and all over her bed. Kristen stormed into her room still vibrating with anger. She snapped her fingers and the door to her room slammed behind her. She began pacing about the room. Her hands weaving into her dark brown hair, her fingers wrapping around the base of her hair and she began to tug on it as she walked the length of her room. “I have to
Nightmares:“Arkyn.” She was calling to him again. He groaned. He was sick of seeing her face. He was sick of the torment. He was in darkness; it always started this way. He searched the darkness looking for it. A faded light guiding him to her chilling voice. He didn't want to go but he went. He didn't want to see her cold blue toned body. Her hollow out sunk in cheeks. No matter how much he didn't want to, he went. His feet almost dragged to the faded light, as if it was a spot light where he was supposed to be. Reaching the light, he cringed inwardly. The room transfer formed into their bedroom. The colors are still all shades of blues and grays that would match her when she appeared. The fire flickering as if it was casting the spot light that surrounded him. “Arkyn.” She called again and then appeared. Lydia stood just outside the faded circle of light, her face covered in sorrow. She looked thin and fragile. Arkyn felt the overwhelming guilt gnawing at him. He didn't want t
Mud River:The entrance to Mud River pack was nothing likeBlack Mountain The tall wooden gates seemed weak in comparison to Black Mountain iron ones. Garold drummed his fingers on the steering wheel as he wait for some response from the guard at the gate. He watched the guard look at him and try to figure out if they were expecting visitors. He could see the guard’s eyes widen as more cars pulled up behind Arkyn’s. “Well if we were staging an attack and we were the decoy this would be easy. The guards are confused about visitors and never mind a surprised attack.” Garold chuckled.“Are we attacking?” Alice asked curiously. She glanced behind them not seeing all the vehicles they had left with. “Maybe.” Garold said with hope in his voice.Alice commented about how to wish war was not a good thing but was taken back as a loud smack rang out in the vehicle. It happened so fast it didn't even register what had happened until Njar yelled.“You bloody bastard!” Nkar yelled, rubbing the si
Surrounded: "Begin moving now." Arkyn sent to Skarde in a mind link, He walked through the parted sea of guards. Arkyn could feel their eyes on him. Some of the terrified others were ready to fight. It was the same everywhere he had gone. Even if he was invited. He smirked a little at the thought he had never done anything horrible unless provoked. He walked into Mud River’s pack land. It was working exactly how he knew it would. Tim had moved all his warriors up front leaving the back opened. Skarde will now slip though and surround them. They will have the whole pack completely surrounded in seconds. It never ceases to amaze him how easy it was for him to calculate the pack he was attackings moves. He knew Tim and knew he was not very bright and more of a hot headed. This will be over before it begins. They allowed Arkyn to walk to the middle of the square of their town and then the soldiers surrounded them. Alice watched the scene unfolding in front of her. Her stomach twisted
Vow:Eliza paced the room, her hand resting on her belly. She was waiting ro Alice to wake up but part of her wanted to run, to flee Black Mountain. She felt the pull to him. She had felt it before with James. She felt sick thinking about it. She couldn’t stop thinking about his ruffled blond hair and deep chocolate brown eyes. She couldn’t, she had to think about her and her unborn child. What man would want to take on this? Especially with the child's father being their enemy even though he’s dead. She needed to just think about her and mend the relationship with Black Mountain, go back to Red River and make the pack better and new. A knock on the door tore her from her thoughts and pacing. She inhaled while walking to the door slowly. She put a smile on her face chasing away her thoughts. She knew Arkyn would come to talk to her at some point, she was still a little terrified of him but she needed to end the feud James had started and helping saving him in his pack sounded like it
Lenore saw Arkyn collapse to his knees. She dropped Norris’s head from her mouth and ran towards him. As he slumped over she slid underneath him bracing him against impact. As he collapsed onto her she shifted into human form, her hands wrapping around him as he fell against her. “Arkyn!” She yelled as she cradled him to her, blood pouring from his sides. Why wasn’t he healing?She kneeled in front of him. She was completely naked, blood covered the front of her, running from her chin like war paint down to her stomach. Her long black hair concealing her naked breast as she checked to see if he was still breathing. She watched his chest slowly raise and fall. It was slow, she needed to get him to the hospital now. She pulled him against her, her arms going under his shoulders. Her eyes locked on her destination as she began to drag him. She shut her eyes trying to focus all her strength on pulling him. Blood smeared across the white snow as she began dragging him. The battle around
Fight:The ground was littered with bodies, some dying others no longer in this world. Arkyn had several at his feet, Blood running down both his arms, a mixture of his own and the ones he had slaughtered. Arkyn growled, becoming frustrated as he could feel members of his pack dying in the battle. Conan pushed him forward. His Anger pushed him forward.Norris locked eyes on Arkyn, a grin appearing on his face as he watched him walk through the crowd, slaughtering anyone that attempted to touch him. He walked effortlessly, Norris couldn't help but be a little impressed at hsi skills and how easily he made it look. Norris twirled the bottle in his hand. He had been waiting for years for this moment. Not only would he slaughter his whole pack but he would make sure Arkyn died slowly and painfully. The liquid silver in the vial felt warm beneath his touch the glass, the only thing preventing it from poisoning him. Norris tucked it away, it had to be done in the most perfect timing. Ark
War:“Garold, I need you to take Alice and go.” Arkyn said, shoving Alice into Garold. “Go where? Arkyn we are surrounded, I am staying and fighting with you.” Alice growled angrily.“I..I can’t. I cant have anything happen to you. Do you hear me, even if I die here, that’s fine. This was how I was always supposed to go out but you, you need to live and you need to go.’ Arkyn growled fiercely. “I am not-“Garold, I command you to take her and go!” Arkyn yelled using his Alpha status to ensure Garold would submit.“Alpha.” Garold said, trying to resist the order.“Don’t …make…me…” Garold said his body twitching as he began sweating, pain starting to radiate throughout him.“Arkyn I am fine. I am staying.” Alice said, grabbing a hold of his hand.“Alice I cannot lie you die here or worse.” Arkyn said his eyes flickering to Garold who he knew any minute would have to cave.“Arkyn i would have died in a cell or worse if you didn’t come to Red River. I am not-As the word not left her mo
Fire:“That's it, there's the signal!” Curt yelled his body vibrating with happiness as he began to move. He stopped short looking to Norris. Norris sighed loudly and at Curt but inside his wolf was vibrating with pure adrenaline and rage, waiting and wanting to cause havoc and pain on Arkyn’s pack. Curt’s eyes glossed over as he informed the pack and they began to move out of the woods, like shadow figures of the night.The glow of the bright orange flames catching the wood on fire brighter the dark area. Conan lunged at Jonah sinking his teeth into his leg and tossing him towards the flames. Jonah let out a loud yell as Conan stalked towards him, teeth snarling and chopping. A loud bang pushed Conan back and the bright flash that lit up the area made everyone shield their eyes.Garold pushed through the crowd of men, all of them not reacting and all stunned at what just happened. Even Jonah’s men were not sure what the explosion was. Everyone was trying to get their bearings back.
Stand off:Norris paced the woods just outside Black Mountain. He was waiting for the signal or for Arkyn to arrive. He had been waiting for this moment. He really wished it had been his father. Not much was said about how he died. He hoped he suffered. Died slowly, painfully. Alone. Norris ran his hair through his short sandy color hair. His dark green eyes studying the entrance. Years of living in the Dark Forest made his eyes accustomed to the dark, he could see for miles. The weather was not bothering him either. No sunshine meant the forest did not get warm. He clenched his jaw waiting. “Alpha, any sign yet?” Curt said walking up to his side, his dark brown eyes scanning the entrance as he tossed his braid behind him. “No but there was a jailbreak for a second. I sent word to Jonah that the raven hair girl jumped out the window and broke Arkyn’s men out of jail.” Norris smiled a little. “A girl?” Curt asked his eyes scanning for a child.“No Arkyn’s woman, his mate. She’s eit
SOS:“Alpha, the pack is locked in the hall. Jonah is threatening to burn it down. We are outside just in front of the hall.” Njar rapidly sent through mindlink.“Pour mountain Ash on them, The mindlinking needs to stop.” Jonah said as he walked down the stairs from the stage. “There’s a pack helping Jonah -'' Njar was cut off as mountain ash was dumped on him, he flinched in pain, his eyes flicking to Alice regret in them.“Dark..Forest.” Skarde sent his voice weak even in mindlink, he heard the order of mountain ash and did not know if Arkyn would get the message. He needed to try. Skarde was covered with mountain ash, he crashed further into the snow covered. The men walked around sprinkling the dust on everyone to ensure no one would be able to communicate with Arkyn. The man walked towards Alice who was dosing out the mountain ash.“Never mind her, she is packless. She might as well be a rogue.” Jonah chuckled. The words stung, reminding her that she had wished that she had ac
Almost: “So just how did you escape?” Njar smirked as they reached the door to the dungeon. “Jumped.” Alice said a small smirk on her face as she pushed the doors opened and walked out into the cold air. “You were a bird or monkey in another life.” Njar laughed. “No …maybe a cat. Nine lives in all. Just remember to say thank you when i’m all done saving your butts.” Alice laughed as they began moving silently through the darkness heading to the hall. The hall was in sight, they were almost there. They were almost all free and ready to take back their pack. Alice paused just in front of the hall, something was off. Her eyes fixated on a large stage placed in front of the hall and a large stake in the middle of it. She tilted her head, her brain trying to understand exactly what she was looking at and when did it get there. “Surrender.” Jonah’s voice said from behind the group. They all turned and Jonah’s army slowly surrounded them. That was fine, they could fight and take th
Jailbreak: The cold wind blowing from the window sent chills running through her. Alice stood at the window, fidgeting with her fingers. She had jumped out the window before. It was more adrenaline than anything. She took a deep breath and pulled open the window. She looked down at the snow on the ground. It was just like before, she would have perfect padding she told herself. The only thing different is if she didn't do this it wasn't just her life she was trying to save but the whole pack. “Jump!” Lenore shouted in their mind. Alice took a deep breath and jumped. The wind rushing up at her made her inhale deeper. She squeezed her eyes shut as the white snow came rushing towards her. Alice relies on Lenore and her quick reflection. Lenore took over just enough not causing a shift but Alice landed neatly in the snow pile. Her Knee pressed into the snow, her hand bracing herself as her jet black hair floated down around. The snow scraping against her skin felt like tiny knives. Al
