NUSIANCES

It's official. We were both staying together through sheer stubbornness to abandon each other. I think we'd be the first interspecies couple-item, whatever the label might be. The whole thought process surrounding it just feels wrong. But Grayson's fine with it. Either Werewolves or humans would surely seek to kill us once they found out, he isn't bothered by that thought either. He's a creature of war, he'll fight for us. But while I don't doubt his abilities to protect us, I still think we're idiots with a death wish.

I don't think he's thinking logically. There's nothing that points to our compatibility and even if or when we do manage to have a more intimate relationship, that doesn't mean I'll be able to carry his child. He hasn't thought about that.

"You won't be able to have children you know" I say to him.

Grayson glances up from his work that he's doing to the hut that we now call home.

"Says who?"

    MINE "We've got a problem" I say folding my hands. Grayson gathers his instruments, while separting the plants into group or categories or whatever it is he does, but doesn't respond to me which makes me agitated. "Grayson!" "Speak you mind Leila" He grumbles. So I do. "Meat? You're giving him meat and still have the heart to tell me he won't eat me?" "He won't" "He's eating an animal" "He's a carnivore Leila, did you expect me to toss him an apple?" "Preferably" "Don't be ridiculous" "You found him atop my person just minutes ago" "I already told you, Gerzi only wanted to scare you. He won't ever hurt you" I fold my arms, upset that he's not taking my views into consideration. I was the victim here. When he sees that I'm quiet, Grayson glances at me across his shoulder. "What are you really afraid of Leila?" Everything! But mostly him. "I'm afraid of what I know to be tried and true Grayson. You've forgotten th

    Gerzi lays out in the shade sleeping while Grayson makes mulch of his roots. He's made himself busy, the golden sun glowing on his caramel skin that gleams from sweat. While lines scar his back and upper shoulders, most overlapping each other. Old battle scars from wars or fights. I don't think he's the type to enter a scuffle over a woman. He had tossed Daina aside with ease after claiming me as his own. And that was only after one encounter. I sit on my seat a little preoccupied with myself. My mind still goes back to the madness that occured in that room and I don't mean that I've allowed Grayson to finger me. I couldn't still can't understand how Gerzi could remotely be apart of Grayson and him- both of them being one. All this time, that time when I had seen Gerzi for the first, he already knew who I was. I bet he was the one that told Grayson that I had escaped. My eyes narrowed on my little nightmare, wishing I could maybe strangle him in his sleep but then thinki

    His beast meaning his wolf?Or him, himself and he?I wanted to ask him which beast was worst but now it seems like a ridiculous waste if he and Gerzi are one.My nails scrape against Graysons back, dragging down slowly as he claims my neck as mine. As cliched as it sounds, of course I groaned and moaned beneath his hands. I've met men who all wanted things from me, but no one actually was concerned about my own pleasure. But how am I to explain to Grayson that I'm not used to the attention he thinks I've gotten or have gotten over the years or days past? He thought I was a whore, maybe it's still what he thinks.But then it wouldn't make sense to claim or pursue me for that matter. Bed warmers aren't that important to men.My fingers slide to his raven hairs that's loose along his back, fingers becoming tangled when his mouth moves lower to my clavicle and lower still until they warm around a erect nub. I could probably curse a million times and or pro

    FINGERS CROSSED "Do you know archery?""Yes""I want to learn that too" But then I take a step back gazing at him a little puzzled. "Why do you even have a dagger? It doesn't make sense when you're a werewolf""We fight with humans predominantly, it only makes sense" He answers matter of factly."But you can change forms" I argue."Under a special occasion. A full moon is needed and that only happens once a month and lasts roughly three days"His point is?"You can kill a vast number of people during that time""Yes, but otherwise I look as human as you are. We need alternatives"It still doesn't make sense to me. Wolf forms or not they are still a terror to us. They're still stronger, faster and more annoying."Your nails are longer than mine" They were only a few inches of being considered claws instead of nails."Inherently it's what differentiates our species. Learning a skill that's doesn't require a co

    *** Warning contains triggers A GROWING HEART The stranger draws closer and closer while I willed my beating heart to quite down. A friend calls to him in some strange language, and he gestures for them to join him, both now on my tail. I blink rapidly, a headache pounding in my ears, my breaths sharp. When both walk pass me seraching for something else, I can't stop the sweat from running down my forehead. The heat is driving me crazy from where I stand and I fear that it will reach the house soon. There's frustration building in my heart thinking of all the work we've done and in vain too. I had forgotten about raids, thinking back of our neighbors and now seeing why they acting so vulgar by attacking us first. They were weary. It didn't matter that maybe we were asking for help, they've probably been exploited and plundered time and time again. But if they were searching for others who were vulnerable, the woman with the small shack was more than fair game. I

    GRAYSON GOT ADDICTED Leila is lying beneath me, skin flushed to a deeper hue of brown, eyes diverted away from me. She's such a beautiful creature, stubborn but with a sturdy head on her shoulders. Her small body is soft beneath my hands, plumpy flesh where I'm hard, curves where I'm straight. There's a fondness for her that's growing within me, a possessiveness that may prove fatal one day. But for now, that didn't matter. I wanted her eyes for myself, so I took it, turning her head to meet mine using my thumb. "What?" Leila asks. Despite being beneath me and deeply flustered, she's still bold enough to illict a small amount of irritation from me, I doubted there was a submissive bone in her body, it's still a puzzle how she took that long to run away from camp. "I was just admiring how tasteful you are" Her eyes dilate even larger, a small 'O' forming on her mouth. "Why would you ever think that?" She asks softly. "Because it's true. You're a little rough around the edges, bu

    GRAYSON A LINE CROSSEDI stood apart watching as he built himself up on rage. The little prick was even huffing. He'd have been a perfect wolf, an even better rogue at that, but the moon didn't smile at his birth that night. I can't imagine how nagging it must have been teaching him discipline. Sending him out to fight would be suicide or voluntary manslaughter in the case of me. I make up my mind unwilling to waste more time than I actually needed to."Just come at me, all you need to do is not even kill me, just cut me with your blade and I'll release you" 'This should be interesting' Gerzi says walking in. 'A little unfair though since it was the old man that taught you''Shut up, you want to replace him?' 'Cute' Gerzi says sitting on his back paws. 'As if you could win me if I had hands instead of paws' My eyes shift from my wolf just seconds before the ignorant man came roaring towards me, his form sloppy and filled with holes. I move only tree steps back avoiding his blade,

    GRAYSONBLOODY HANDS"That would be Leila. Obviously"I'm doing this because if I don't we won't be able to move on. He won't ever leave her be, I can't erase what he's done to her mentally, but I'm able to remove the blot that he is against the world. It's a little self-righteous for me to say, and maybe even selfish since I didn't ask what she wants. But this way, she won't have to look over her shoulders anymore."Obviously" he repeats robing himself but ensuring to stay quite a distance away from me. "So, if you're here I'm guessing for revenge? How much is she willing to pay? Grant it she had shit but she's a woman. Whatever it is I'm willing to double it"I glance out unto the town below that was just bustling to life, merchants placing out their produce for show. He thinks very little of Leila, I don't think he sees her as much besides the fact of her anatomy and the ego that keeps telling him he owns her."I'm not being paid" I answer. "I'm doing this of my own volition""Sure

    BONDS TRIUMPH ANY TRIAL The worst thing about starting a revolution is that you have to see it through. I'm starting not to like that idea. Mostly because I'm stuck inside alone- well not necessarily all by myself but those that support me, cannot attend to my needs.And by needs, you know what I mean.No, not sex. Get your head out of the gutters.I meant conversation, cuddles, and late-night plays.I was part of the front line too, but then I was physically and forcefully removed without choice or option; because we found out an important matter. Only I knew first this time but kept it hidden. For good reason.This eventuality.I sigh once more palming my stomach. Grayson has been gone for three weeks. He's taken my women, his men, frankly anything that would remind me of what's going on outside those gates. So many more humans have joined our cause to live freely and have freedom. And we have spread like a wildfire, expanding our borders in even spaces I didn't think possible. We

    HE'S NOT THE ALPHA Darnick is compliant with his decision to return, which only leaves Rasmus and me as the only jittery pawns on his chess board. This uninformed selfish decision of my father will run everything we've worked for into the ground and when Leila gets wind of this, it will be nothing short of a fuse explosion. "When are we leaving?" "At a convenient time for all of us," Xavier answers as if we're talking about abandoning cattle. That these weren't people with lives. Lives that were depending on us to protect them. "When was this decision made? ""Does it matter when it was made? My decision is final.""We're leaving them to die. It's a suicide mission. " I clarify just in case he was too blind to the reality of the situation at hand. "Commander Lyra has the know-how to navigate even the toughest of circumstances.

    IMPOSSIBLE CIRCUMSTANCESGRAYSON "You've made a grave mistake confronting him before everyone else, " I told my little mate when we had returned to her quarters."I know, I know, " Leila nods. "You allowed your emotions to get the best of you and now he's out for blood. ""I know. He'll want my head for this." She paces around her room rubbing her arms as if exposed to the cold. "I just, it felt too much. After I thought we lost them all. I mourned them, Grayson." Leila's dark eyes meet mine confusion swirling in the midst as she gazes up at me. "How are they still alive, it's not possible? Why wasn't everyone else saved? If he's so strong why isn't everyone still alive? Marie, Louis, and his family. "Leila's body trembles as she breaks into tears once more, her emotions overriding the restraint she had built up now bursting at the seams. "It doesn't matter. They're here and alive. ""Except it does. How can I tell the part of me that's been hollow for months now that it was all a

    A PACK LOST A PACK GAINED I was on the outside surveying our space to plant more food and possibly rear a few animals. It's been a rough couple of months and my arm heals at snails pace. The wolves are still gathered around the periphery of the fortress, steadfast and unmoving since Grayson hasn't lifted his command. Hadn't we had them, perhaps Phineas' attempts to destroy us would have succeeded at his first crack.A hand reaches around, blocking my view and I attempt to back away, ducking beneath in the process, only to be enclosed in hard flesh and bones. "Morning," He growls at my ear ."It's afternoon," I correct."Still early," he rasps at my ear, back pedaling both of us in the process."Where are you taking me?" I question the oaf."You'll see soon enough.""I have work to do," I argue."You're always working," His reply comes, feet still walking blindly and his breath warm a constant against my cheek."Do you even know where you're going?" I enquire not liking the fact that

    STRONGERDaina runs away while I sit in open contemplation. My chest and cheeks hurt like fudge sticks, my shoulders are sore, but my head felt as if I'd hit it against the column, knocking myself out for half my lifetime. My body was heavy as lead, even though I was only seated upright."I wouldn't advise moving as yet, Luna. You took quite a nasty beating and the medicine still needs time to circulate.""Impeccable timing," I told him, my voice croaking as that of a hoarse frog, my eyes quickly sweeping the room. It wasn't mine, but from the nonexistent accolades, I knew this was Grayson's plain room. I could almost chuckle thinking of how filled this room will easily become with Tyler's drawings over the years.That is if he intended on staying here. Fear seized my chest and I clutched at it, telling myself I'm only overreacting. Where else would he seek to go?"Where's Grayson?""The Alpha is currently being looked after." Gamma Kole answers.My brain dissects the funny way he dec

    DAINA ALL MEN MUST SERVE Inside was just boring and mourful. All everyone bickered about was the war and how things should have been different. They lamented about losing people and about not being prepared more. All it did was agitate me. It was the past, it was said and done and cannot be changed. I desperately wanted to scream at them to just shut up and move on with their lives. Focus on freaking surviving. What else could we do at this point?Glancing around the blackened room and finding the newly acquired Alphas only made my mouth more sour. Six people from two entire packs survived that freaking attack. What kind of monster army did Alpha Phineas have to have subdued them like that? His Luna had been such a simple girl when we met last. I supoose that's the reason behind her apparent simpleton behavior. Her Alpha was terrifying.I push to leave the suffocating atmosphere of the dead and dying, a human warrior shifting into my path and blocking my way."Sorry," He says voice

    GRAYSON ALPHA COMMAND That bastard Phineas, I bet he had timed Leila just right to have cornered her inside her room. I had every intent on ripping his head from his shoulders, but the damned ass had escaped rolling over the window and scampering down the wall with his tail between his legs.I huff, watching as he scurried away, a f*king cheeky smile on his face, echoing the words of his return. I can't stay furious, turning to find Leila unmoving, my worst fears manifesting seeing how beaten up she was.My teeth screech on edge, Phineas now making himself my number one enemy. Known to him, I promised death to whoever touched Leila and my wrath knew no bounds or creed. My body bows with stress, kneeling before the blood that heats my veins. Leila cries out from pain that strikes my soul, her entire being trembling as I took her into my arms. Her lips bleed, bruises lining her forehead and arms. That son of a bitch!"I'm going to die, I'm going to die," Leila whispers, her words mir

    SACRIFICES ***WARNING: May contain triggers.Our walk to the fortress takes days when in reality it should've only been a few hours. With the massive injuries that our group had sustained, we were left to creep as old men, creating shelters and entertaining others from dwelling on the reality of our condition. Tyler sticks on my heels aiding me to gather as much fruits as possible. A few murmur about having only that to eat, but I turn my ears and bite my tongue. What did they want me to do, hunt a boar? They weren't Tyler and I was never asking Grayson to go find one either. Everyone had to learn to live within their means and accept the case for what it is. If we send enough abled out people out and they were attacked, any hopes of us rebuilding would be smashed against the rocks. I glance at the sky a little perturbed about the overcast weather, but think better of it when I glanced back at the ailing pack. Maybe it was best that we didn't rush them.

    BLEEDING HEART "Leila, you cant afford to have your emotions control you," Gerzi scolds or maybe it's sturdy advice. My entire body trembles at the thoughts of the many people we've lost. The glossy eyes that stare back at me- us by extension. The many children lost, the parents that are beside themselves in agony. Too traumatized to even utter a word. The carnage of Trish's body flashing before my eyes forcing me into a mental hell I wanted not. I paused my steps, closing my eyes as I grit my teeth through the pain. I didn't want to loose anymore people to this. I couldn't!War has places us all on the same ranking. We were all vulnerable and helpless. Dependent on each other for growth, stability and strength. We were as weak as the smallest one among us. It shed light on our shortcomings. The distrust and lingering desparities between us. There were no lines today in that attack. We were all preys."There's a large cave nestled in some rocks ay the edge," Gerzi directs. "Just ke
