Mara came in through the back door and hollard out “Mj my love, I got a surprise for you” Mj smiled, “Oh yea” she hollered behind her as she set to placing out drink menus and coasters, “not that anyone used them really” Mj thought, but the owner insisted they be there so she did it every shift. “I'm glad you're here, we so need a closing night. Some funky shit happened to me today and you're never gonna believe it” Mj called out to Mara as she got closer.
“What the fuck are you doing “ Mj laughed as she grabbed Mara’s wrists to move her hands from her face. “No not yet, it's a surprise” Mara almost squealed with excitement .“What’s a surprise” Mj asked,“Mara was a strange girl but this was a little outside the box, even for her” Mj thought.
After a few hours everyone had kind of come to the conclusion they had enough to drink and it was getting late, Mj broke the silence of grumbled talks of not wanting to go home yet. “Well, I had lots of fun Mara, thanks for introducing me to your friends but it’s probably time to call it a night.'' Mj picked up the remaining empty bottles and tossed them in the trash before opening the back door and waiting for everyone to start shuffling out. “Hay” Tanner said in a whining voice “we are your friends now too” Mj laughed and shook her head “great! I'm not so sure that's a good thing”. Sam shoved Tanner out the door and put h
Dante looked around the familiar apartment and could still smell his scent there. He looked out at the balcony while she went to the small kitchen and started the coffee. Dante walked up to her window and put his hand against it. “You should have curtains on this window,” he said. “Why?” Mj said from behind him. Dante huffed “Well what if a perv looks in your window” the words bit him like a whip, “he was talking about himself” he thought.
“What the fuck Dante” Sam said as she turned the SUV around and headed toward the house they were staying in at the edge of town. “You asked us to pick you up over 4 hours ago we have been sitting here forever” she fumed. “Sorry” was all Dante managed to say in a distant voice, staring up at Mj’s apartment window as they drove away.
“What the fuck did I drink last night,” Mj thought as she sat up in her bed. Her head was absolutely killing her and she could have sworn that Dante had walked her home and they spent most of the early hours of the morning sleeping in eachothers arms, she even remembered him covering her with his jacket before leaving through the window. She laughed out loud to herself thinking how ridiculous that thought was. “What a vivid imagination” she thought, “first of all there is no jacket here so obviously that didn't happen, and you live on the 3rd floor Mj, what did he do jump?” Her groggy thoughts were snapped back to current events when she heard
Mj started to hum out of habit as she finished mopping and began to wipe down the tables and chairs so they could close Lou’s down for the night. “It was so odd to have help around that wasn't Lou” Mj thought as she continued cleaning up. “Not once today did she step foot in the back and it was kinda nice, but also terrifying because she wasn't sure what state it would be in, But that was really Lou’s problem anyway” she thought “he was the one who asked these adorable hooligans to come help out and she was honestly glad he did” she thought smiling to herself. Mj didn't know why Lou had been hiding such a lively group, they were de
“What is it with you and cryptid creatures,” Sam inquired to Mj as they pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road. Sam flipped the headlights on and the cab became suddenly dark. Mj was thankful for it, the dark made her a little more comfortable and her childhood wasn't exactly something she enjoyed talking about. “Oh it's nothing really” Mj laughed nervously, “I just read a lot as a kid and the library had a very strange limited selection.”
Mj walked out of the closet and stood in front of the mirror hanging on the outside of the door. The sweat pants were a little big so they hung low on her hips and that was perfectly fine, but the shirt Sam had given her was almost too small. It fit Mj like a second skin, the top consisted of two small strings holding it up causing the top of Mj’s chest to sit on show like ripe fruit waiting to be plucked. Mj wrapped her arms around herself when
******* I will upload Chapter 1 under Legacy of the wolf but it will be a seperate book, Legacy of the wolf: War of the Wolves******** The haunted sounds of a wolf's broken-hearted song lit up the darkness inside Dante’s mind, just like it had done every night since he left his mate asleep in their bed almost a year ago. Dante turned his head on a swivel in the obscurity, even though he knew he was still asleep. “Why do you do this to me every night, Theo! Do you enjoy torturing me?” Dante spat the words into the darkness and was only answered by the forlorn echo of a pathetic whimper as Theron’s vast body sulked into view. The normally large majestic beast now looked ragged and old, his head hung low between his shoulders and the wolf walked with such an exaggerated bow in his back that his knuckles drug the ground like lifeless attachments, “you torture us all, ignorant boy.” Dante scowl
In the months following Dante’s leaving the pack Mj learned he surrendered himself to Alpha Talia as a peace offering for the pack member Mj killed in the challenge, and that she had not only accepted his offer but had agreed to make him the Alpha after their mating bond.Mj had kept herself busy in the kitchens, pulling every shift she could to fill her days. She tried several times to pack her clothes and ask Azreal to move to a different room but she just couldn't tear herself away from the fading scent that still lingered, and as much as it broke her heart to be near him she couldn't make herself leave him the way he left her.Mj no longer sat at the Alpha’s table for meals she simply ate between kitchen shifts, the only time she saw any of the other hunters was during training and even then she would be cordial dur
Mj knew the guest house was code for a dungeon or prison but she had not expected it to actually be underground, Azreal had opened a door in the ground surrounded by bushes and guards with spot lights lining the perimeter. The hatch had led them down a stone staircase to a galley hallway that had singular cells lining it, the doors were metal with small slit windows and the entire place felt cold, as Mj reached out to touch a door Azreal grabbed her hand, “mercury and silver Mj...I wouldn't unless you wear gloves.” Mj pulled her hand back and Azreal motioned toward a room at the end of the galley, “she is behind the door on the end,” Mj took a few steps forward and Azreal touched her shoulder, causing her to turn her head to look at him. “She was part of this pack Mj, and she betrayed us all...her fate is upon you little sister, it was agreed by the pack as a whole.” Mj looked at Azreal and then be
Dante caught up to Mj quickly and although he could see the tears streaming from her face as they ran he didn't try to stop her, he could feel her desperate anger and hurt, the feeling surprised him a little because Mj had not been brought up on the stories of wolves but she still felt such an intense connection to her own ancestors she was grieving them now. After running for almost three miles Mj’s sprinting came to a slow stop and she turned around, burying her face into Dante’s chest. Mj wrapped her arms around his waist and cried silently into the hollow of Dante’s torso before she leaned back and let a blood curdling howl explode from her chest. Dante squeezed her tightly and they both looked toward the slumbering moon before releasing another cry to the listening sky above. Dante pulled Mj back into his chest and kissed the top of her head, “
**TRIGGER WARNING**Some of the events discussed in this chapter are NOT fictional and are extremely violent, reader beware Dante gingerly opened the door to his room and the crisp chirp of the first birds of the morning made it painfully clear he had been gone all night. After shutting the door he turned and his heart sank into his feet, Mj was asleep on his side of the bed with a book splayed open in one hand and his pillow clutched tightly to her chest with the other. Dante toed off his shoes and softly padded toward the bed with his prize held gingerly between his fingers, as Dante approached the bed he lifted his hand and began to stroke Mj’s face gingerly with a few white long stem lilies. The soft white curved flowers brushed across Mj’s cheek and she smiled slightly as a satisfied hum left her throat and she curled tighter Dante’s pillow, he
Briella did not need much time to corroborate the intruders story, they were also able to keep her identity a complete secret by simply blindfolding him while Dante and Lila rattled off questions they had already asked him twenty or so times and waiting for Briella to either nod her head yes that he was calm and truthful or shake it no that his thermal temperature gave away dishonesty or fear. After about half an hour of back and forth Lila began to sway on her feet and sigh with fatigue, Mj slid her hands underneath Lila’s elbows and leaned her chest into the Beta’s back. Lila hummed in appreciation as she leaned into her newest pack member to relieve some of the pressure on her feet, “would it be weird if I offered to be your chair.” Mj almost whispered in her ear and Lila pursed her lips as she hummed small giggles. “Normally I would say don't worry about me, bu
As Theron moved effortlessly through the trees he noticed that Mj’s body was trembling so he pulled her closer, wrapping both arms tightly around as much of her body as he could and tucking his head over his arms to warm her with his breath. The feel of the large beasts fur snaking around Mj’s body like a safety bubble had her skin alive and almost hypersensitive. The cold air was so intense it almost hurt as it blasted past her skin while they darted past trees moving toward the packhouse, Mj noticed that the pounding in her head seemed to ease as she snuggled in closer to Theron’s body and as she dug her fingers into his fur the electric feel of the skin beneath earned her a pacified grumbling pur from the enormous creature cradling her in its arms. The vibration from Theron’s satisfied purrs were causing more intensely sensitive sensations to wash over Mj and she began to almost
Mj was sleepy but she knew that danger was close, and as Theron set her on the ground she opened her eyes to a sight that drained all the color from her face. Walkers were laying dead and dismembered on the ground while the hunters advanced over their bodies like they were sandbags, Moxie had shifted and was hanging from a tree while Ace and Jay were still in human form but only barely. “You are not welcome to cause trouble during our full moon fire rouges...you will leave Quicksilver pack territory or you will be brought before the Alpha for judgment.” Mj watched Ace glance their way, “stay. Here.” Theron said to Mj before stalking closer to the still armed rouges, “You are not the only one who’s Alpha is an Original, you do not scare us and we are not rouge.” Theron growled and Mj felt the hair on her body stand on end as the wolf thrashed under her skin, she stro
Mj stood in front of the mirror for what seemed like an eternity, she had not noticed the continued bustling around her until the door opened again and a brush of cold air along with Lila’s tender touch brought her back to the room, “are you alright Mj?” Briella asked as Lila stood holding on to her elbow and looking at her like she expected an answer to a question Mj never heard. “Yea sorry...I’m just,” Briella cut her off “you are just so nervous I know...you could blot out the sun.” Lila rubbed Mj’s elbows soothingly and began to purr, “are you really that terrified of wearing a dress Mj...or is it the people?” Mj looked Lila in the eye and began to tremble, “I don't want him to see me like this,” she almost whispered and Lila squeezed her eyebrows together “who...Ace, the commander wont tease you and if he does then I will put him on bathroom clean up tonight
