Mj thought she was going to panic but she could feel Theron keeping her calm almost like a drug and she bit her lip not exactly sure how Azreal would react to her assault on one of his pack members. “He wanted to analyze my daddy issues and I just kind of… I don't know” Mj looked up at Azreal again still chewing on her lip as the Alpha crossed his arms over his chest and hummed.
Jay pointed toward some trees as they passed “Azreal had these trees planted in specific patterns to make sure he could keep the pack safe inside and make it harder to infiltrate should something like that ever happen” Mj looked at Jay with furrowed brows but did not interrupt as he motioned around “You will notice they get closer together as we get closer to the training yard” Mj looked around and for the first time she did notice the trees seemed to be thicker here, Jay pulled away from her arm and began to swing himself around several of the trunks in a weaving pattern “see the more familiar you are with
Mj took Jay’s hand and held on to him for dear life as he pulled her farther up the tree she squeezed her eyes shut and clung to Jay’s arm. Her breathing had become heavy and she noticed that even though her eyes were closed she could still see Jay, but there was another scent mixing with it “Jay I can see smell you” she almost shrieked and could hear Moxie laughing below her “Mox wants to know if you can see smell him too” Mj turned her head more with her
With her eyes clamped shut Mj forced her breathing to bring her into a sense of calm meditation, once again the wolf settled into her body and she hummed feeling warm and fulfilled turning her head to the side, Mj was able to see every small thing around her. Each tree had its own distinct scent if even just slightly different from the rest, as Mj further analyzed the use of her new sight she noticed that a scent unfamiliar to the rest of the forest seemed to be moving toward her, it was moving slowly but still advancing in her direction.
“Dante?” Mj said and although he grunted in response he did not stop, Mj turned to look at Ace who had a grotesquely pleased look on his face “want to be one of my hunters princess,” it was not so much a question as a way to taunt her and Mj knew it. She pursed her lips and planted her hands on her hips, “You want to do this now?” she asked and had to dodge out of the way as Ace grabbed for her.
Jay’s body hit the ground with a sick thud and bounced, Mj swung herself down and just jumped from branch to branch until she was on the ground, without waiting for instruction she stalked toward Jay and kicked him in the ribs so hard he slid a few feet “My name is Molly” she snapped “MollyJay Bijou” she growled again and Jay grunted as he reached up and grabbed a tree pulling himself to his feet but still clutching his chest. “No little sister you were born Marnie of Bain and are now Marnie of Quicksilver,” Jay’s voice gained its strength as he spoke and every word made Mj feel li
Jay closed his eyes and Mj felt the familiar buzz in her mind “strong wolves can communicate through the link without shifting,” He opened his eyes and Mj nodded her head at him “Dante can’t hear me, but he can hear you so be careful” Jay warned and again Mj nodded.“Ace is gonna kick your ass Jay better abandon
Lila rushed to Mj and began to touch her face and arms “oh Mj sweetie” she sang in a motherly tone and Mj waved her hands up in front of her face “yea I kinda found some crazy trees” she said and everyone around her rang out with curt laughter. Azreal slowly strolled to Mj and stopped in front of her looking her from head to toe and back again, “I would say you need more training,
This time Mj kick started their journey, as she was increasingly eager to distance herself from the overly muscular crowd and intrigued further by the next section of sparring pack members, there were white river rocks in octagon shapes spread out, about twelve in all and inside of each of them were a pair grappling or just beating the absolute hell out of one another, Mj cocked her head as she looked around and noticed that the pairs were not matched evenly, some opponents were mixed gender and others looked to be of drastically different size or age.
******* 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 Danteâs 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. âWhy do you do this to me every night, Theo! Do you enjoy torturing me?â Dante spat the words into the darkness and was only answered by the forlorn echo of a pathetic whimper as Theronâs 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, âyou torture us all, ignorant boy.â 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
