Pancakes: She followed closely behind him. He moved quickly but she kept up. She felt on edge being out in the hall. The last few days she wasn't allowed and now that she was moving free it was a little nerve wrecking. Lenore was in complete heaven watching Arkyn walk in front of them. “Can we crank back the hormones just a little bit. I need you to chill.” Alice scolded her. Arkyn stopped short suddenly and Alice did not see. She rammed right into his back. She bounced backwards, almost falling. He moved quickly, his arms capturing her waist pulling her into him to steady her. She shut her eyes as she inhaled his scent. God he smelt amazing…stop stop stop. She yelled at herself as she tried to move away from him. “The kitchen is to the left here. Go eat.” Arkyn orders not letting her go. “You're leaving me?” Alice asked, looking up at him. “You said you won't run, I believe you. Just know if you run I will never trust another word that comes out of your mouth.” Arkyn said, l
Tour: Alice’s stomach rumbled as she became full. She pushed the plate away from her letting a long breath out as she did. Arkyn watched her his eyebrow raising a small smile on his face. Alice . caught him watching her. She was surprised to see the smile. “I haven't eaten that much since I can't remember. “ Alice smiled as she patted her stomach. Arkyn bit back the harsh words lingering in his mind about her previous living arrangements. She felt the rush of emotions and thought maybe he was mad. She ignored it and picked up her plates. She then began gathering the ones from the boys. She placed them in the sink and went to reach for Arkyn’s. He caught her hand as she reached for it. A rush of shivers went through her, it was insane what the smallest touch from him did to her. “Do you want to see the rest of the pack?” Arkyn asked her quietly. “Ok.” Alice said quietly, waiting for him to let go of her part of hoping he wouldn't. He nodded quietly as he stood up and began wa
Sparks: The woman wanted her to feel pain and wanted a reaction out of her but she had none. Alice wasn't going to give her that sadisfaction. Alice nodded because she was worried what might come out of her mouth if she said anything to her. The woman dropped her hand and stared at her. Alice gritted her teeth before turning away from her and heading back towards the kitchen. The woman was also trying to trap her for not at least telling her her duties. She would clean the kitchens then. Kirsten smirked watching Alice leave. It was perfect, she didn't know who she was and just followed orders. She might just make her life hell here and then open the door for her to leave. Arkyn was clearly becoming more and more fond of her. It might actually hurt him and the betrayal of her leaving might rip the bond they were creating. Arkyn was meant for her. When out of sight Alice checked the back of her arm, there was a small amount of blood from where the woman had pinched her. She shook h
Stir Fry:Alice wasn't sure what she expected but him standing in front of her with a small smile on his lips was not what she was thinking. He had gotten and moved to her side of the counter before she could even blink. Everything happened so fast, she meant to hit him with the spoon but at the same time she didn't. Why was he not made? This had to be some kind of trick? His grip tightened on the frying pan.“Put the pan down.” Arkyn ordered quietly, a small red mark was appearing on his jaw from where the spoon had hit him. She took a step back from him. Her eyes studying him. She saw him snap someone's wrist in half just for touching her, what was he going to do if someone hit him. Her mind screaming run. The one thing she knew was people liked to talk. Maybe if she just asked him he would tell her. Sarah loved to explain things bit by bit before they happened. Trying to terrify her but it just had made her prepared. She stared at Arkyn trying to decide what to do. He studied her
Message:“Alpha.” Garold's voice came through mindlink, Arkyn was leading Alice through the halls. Hearing it he stopped, he didn't like the sound of his voice. “Go ahead.” He responded back, stopping in his tracks.Alice nearly slammed into his back wondering why they were stopping. She looked at his back seeing it go tense. She waited several seconds before going to his side and looking at his face. His eyes were glossed over so she knew he was communicating with someone. “We’ve located the men. There’s about ten of them. They are camped at the south mountain.” Garold was sent back.“How many are with you?” Arkyn asked quietly. “Enough. Just Skarde and I.” Garold sent back a loud smile in his tone.“Take them out. Find out which pack they belong to. Save the heads.” Arkyn sent back quickly.“It will be done.” Garold responded shortly and cut the mindlink. “When it's all done, send all of the heads but two back to the Alpha of the back. Post two heads on spikes at the south end
Red Choker: Arkyn led her down the hall towards the bedroom. Alice pulled her hand back, seeing the bedroom door. She clenched her jaw. She didn't want to go back into the room. She hadn't run away. She didn't want to be locked away. Arkyn stopped and turned his eyebrows frowning at her as he waited for an explanation.“I didn't run.” Alice said quietly, taking a small step back. “What?” Arkyn asked, looking at her confused as he reached for her.“I don't want to be locked away.” Alice said quietly. Arkyn felt his chest tightened; he didn't realize that's what she associated the room with. It was his fault he had boarded up the window and basically left there for two days. He shook his head.“You're not going to be locked away, it's our room. I’m tired.” Arkyn said quietly letting his hand drop so she would know he is not forcing her. “I’m not?” Alice said disbelieving as she looked at him studying him for a sign of him lying.‘No, this is your home now, that is our room. You're
Please:He left the bathroom door open, the warmth from the shower rolled out into the air in the bedroom. The scent of his body wash floated in the air. She felt a shiver run through as she inhaled deeply. Curiosity overtook her and she found herself creeping towards the bathroom door. She wanted to see him. Thoughts of his naked body with water rushing over every muscle flashed in her mind. She felt her cheeks flush as she took a few steps towards the bathroom. Her mind wandered to him running his hands over his own body soap bubbles covering their path as they did. She shook her head wondering where the thoughts were coming from but she couldn't make them stop.She felt this sudden rush of need flow through her. A want that was burning at her center. Her skin began to hurt. Her mind floods with thoughts of Arkyn touching her, caressing her; his mouth kissing areas of her that have never been touched. She felt her body begin to shake as if she was no longer in control of herself. H
Mine:Hearing her say it sent excitement through him. He couldn't resist her anyloner. Her closed the distance between them his hand on her cheek moved to the back of her neck as he pulled her face towards his. Her mouth finally claiming what was meant to be his all along. His mouth crashed into hers, a mixture of want and need. Her lips met hsi and responded just as demanding as his. He pushed his tongue through her lips, her mouth opening as she felt it. Her hand wrapping around his waist trying to be as close to him as possible as their tongues began to rub and press against each other. Arkyn’s hands move down over her body and pull her into him. His hands capture her ass as he lifts her. He steps out of the shower still kissing her as he carries her to the bed. He lays her wet body on the bed and pulls her underwear down off of her. She shivered at the feeling of his fingers grazing her leg as he pulled them down. She pulled her arms quickly through her bra straps trying to get h
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
