As quickly as possible, Dante made his way back up to the pack house and inside, then spun down several halls until he began to try to open a large singular door. “If you put me down, you can just open it,” Mj hummed in amusement, and as Dante looked down at her he was both pleased and disappointed to find her eyes clear of pain. He set her feet gingerly on the floor and as he opened the door and turned to her his mouth almost hit the floor. She was still dressed in her very form fitting pantsuit, but she had taken off her shoes and jacket. The top she wore consisted of a collar and no shoulders. It simply looped around her neck and then left the back completely open until it reached mid-waist and reappeared. Leaving the entirety of her back exposed, while the front appeared to look like a dark silk button up. Dante’s mouth fell open and Mj rolled her eyes as she walked past him into the darkened room. Dante flipped on the lights and Mj hummed a small laugh. “You whisked me away to a
Ace marched silently through the halls and even when Mj managed to reach him and match his stride, he remained mute. He whirled through the hallways with sharp precise movements until they reached Sam’s suite and as he ripped the door open, he turned to the assassin and finally spoke, “change, so we don't embarrass the Alpha at his own event assassin,” he said almost clinically and Mj hung her skull as she sulked into the room. She was surprised to find that Ace didn’t just slam the door, he was standing in the chamber with her. “You planning on running off with the LaFlare’s or starting a war by fucking another pack’s Beta and parading around in his shirt?” The commander asked callously and Mj opened her mouth to speak but only shook her head, “I’m not going anywhere commander, Quicksilver is my home and Dante was… a mistake,” she whispered but swallowed the sour taste the words left in her mouth as Ace simply hummed and turned to face the door. “I told you to be careful, your heat
Mj took a deep breath as they approached the main dining hall, Azreal had decided to move the meeting he was holding from his private office to the dining hall when Mara had informed him that there were quite a few rouges who wanted to attend even if they would not be permitted to speak. Ace opened the door and ushered himself along with the distracted assassin inside. Mj’s feet almost tangled with one another as the sight of rows and rows of unfamiliar eyes turned to look at them. Ace saved the day by subtly shoving Mj toward the Alpha’s podium and as they reached it Mj noticed the other hunters were standing around the bottom of the platform, so she followed Ace’s example and turned to face the onlooking crowd with her hands clasped behind her back. Mj swallowed hard as the doors flung open again and what she assumed was another Alpha entered. Her suspicions were confirmed as the Alpha was announced along with their Beta and escorted to the platform. Mj watched as Azreal welcome
Azreal called Lila and the remaining hunters to his private office and wasted no time in speaking, “I know you are all getting ready to embark on a mission that may or may not result in some life-changing results but right now, I need you all to concentrate on keeping everyone as calm as possible,” the Alpha rattled off quickly. “It was brought to my attention earlier tonight that Dante witnessed a visiting wolf being assaulted by Alpha Talia’s personal guard,” he continued, and Jay slammed his fist down on Azreal’s desk. The Alpha glared at the fair-haired hunter and Jay only took a knee on the floor, “it was later discovered that this young wolf had refused some sexual advances made by Talia and when he rejected her, she forced herself on him and then had her guards try to silence him,” Azreal continued and Mj’s stomach churned with the information.Azreal listened to the subtle growls around him before he proceeded, “I have to throw her off Quicksilver land in front of all the ot
Mj ran through the packhouse with every intention of crashing in Sam’s room, but when she finally stopped her heart practically dropped into her stomach when she realized she was standing in front of her old room. The assassin inhaled and was rewarded when her senses were overloaded with the pleasant scent of smokey cedar, indicating Dante had been there recently. Mj looked around cautiously before sliding the door open and was practically shocked to find the room had been returned to her unharmed. There was even her old dirty duffle bag slung up on the bed with some of Mj’s clothes hanging out of it. The strange feeling of being back in this room was causing Mj’s head to swim with confusion, so she decided to just lay down on the bed and as her body crashed onto the neatly straightened cover Mj drove her face straight into the pillow she somehow knew Dante had used. As she curled herself around the lingering scent of someone else's wolf, the sound of crinkled paper alerted her to di
Mj passed Jay her phone after hanging up with Azreal and pursed her lips as she wiggled uncomfortably in the small, very tight strapless dress Sam had given her. The assassin tried to argue that a sensible pair of pants and a t-shirt would be perfect to move in during combat, but Ace had reminded her they were staging a hand off and nobody showed up to a club in combat boots and jeans. John Pearl stood outside the open car door and handed Jay a syringe before giving Mj’s appearance a once over, “are you hoping to kill them with your legs assassin,” the doctor mused and Mj’s skin ran cold as she watched his eyes travel up and down her exposed skin. Jay swiftly popped his fist upward into John’s nose, and the doctor groaned as blood squirted from his beak.Mj giggled at her brother as he simply winked at her and shoved the business end of the needle into Casper’s arm. The club owners head flopped to the side, and he grumbled, Mj twisted her lips up in uncertainty, “is this gonna work if
Moxie did his best not to fidget or pace as he watched the human guards scurry, slamming Jay’s head into the side of the car while Ace hailed them from down the path. The impatient hunter's body itched with the need to insert himself in the situation, but Moxie took several deep breaths, saving his anxious energy for the coming events. Yanking his phone from his pocket, Moxie called Sam, “the Commander said to keep yo crew in small clustered groups when you head down the embankment, and hurry Sammie… Ace just offered himself up as bait.” Moxie slammed the phone back into his pocket without waiting for a response and swallowed the guilt he felt for exploiting Sam’s feelings for Ace in order to ensure the safety of his own mate.The sound of a snapping twig and crunching leaves directly behind him caused Moxie to whirl around and throw a punch, only to have his wrist grabbed by Sam as the tall thin hunter settled in next to him, “that was fast,” he hissed in amusement and Sam only nodde
Jay bent forward at the waist and cautiously crept toward the dark pod, as he entered he was met with the flash of yellow eyes and a deep threatening growl followed by the muffled cries of a small baby. Jay put his hands up in the air and stood up straight, “we came here to help,” he began and the snarling sound of a young wolf’s desperate attempt to be vicious and intimidating rang out, echoing off the walls of the small room. Jay took a step back and kept his hands up, “ok, it’s ok, we aren't here to hurt you,” he tried again and this time the sound of an angry voice echoed the walls, “LIAR,” a young girl's voice spat, “lab coat,” she growled and Jay kicked himself before shrugging it off and dropping it on the floor. “I stole it from a dead guy,” he admitted and was rewarded with a shocking gasp, “LIAR,” she spat and Jay scratched the back of his head before he shrugged, “look,” he began and stopped when Moxie’s warm chuckle floated into the room, “relax sher, give him a break yea,
