As she ran Mj looked over her shoulder and to her horror they were all chasing after her. She turned and pumped her legs as fast as they would go, her eyes darted around everywhere “she had to find a place to escape these people'' she thought frantically. “To escape this new life”, it was all just too much and she couldn't handle it anymore. Mj took a sharp right turn and dashed into the wooded area. Suddenly It was like someone put a blanket over the world, the entire atmosphere changed, Mj could no longe
Mj opened her eyes with a jerk, she hadnt meant to fall asleep, she sat up and looked around, her neck was stiff from being stuffed into her knees but she didn't see anyone. Mj stood up and stretched her arms and legs. She suddenly had the feeling someone was there with her watching her, Mj felt Theron again settle into her body and her ears became sharp, her eyes cut through the forest like knives. She could hear two heartbeats very clearly one was h
Ace walked up to Mj the minute Tanner was no longer in ear shot and put his forefinger in the center of her chest. “You need to understand that you are dangerous for most of us to be around and you are Dante’s responsibility so if you are confused about anything happening to you then he is the one you need to ask, it's not fair for you to put others in between the issue the two of you seem to be having, your a grown woman Mj, act like it!” Ace’s words were laced with venom. Mj’s mouth was open and she was breathing heavily, her sadness was gone, replaced by disgust and anger.
Dante knew that Ace had found Mj and was doing his best to keep her from leaving until he could get to her. Dante knew that there were so many things he owed Mj and from the events that had just unfolded and the information Ace was feeding him he knew answering her questions was the first thing he needed to give her. When Dante found Ace and Mj he was in complete shock, Ace was lying about twelve feet away from Mj and he was crumpled over a broken tree, Mj was seething with power and anger Dante felt panicked, she was screaming so loud it was almost hurting his ears. “Her nose was bleeding and her eyes were gold!” Dante observed in horror.
A Short time later Mara emerged with two cups still on the tray. She shoved one into Dante’s face and he looked up at her in confusion, Mara rolled her eyes “You say thank you and take the coffee,” Dante obliged and as she sat down in front of him with her own coffee. Dante didn't quite know what to do, he knew Mara was a wolf but she was rouge so his status in the pack didn't intimidate her quite as much and he wasn't sure if she knew he was an original because Earth born wolves couldn't distinguish between the scents.
Mj stirred slightly and opened her eyes, she blinked the blur away and realized she was once again in Dante’s room, she tried to sit up and her body felt heavy. All of a sudden she felt hands on her arm and shoulder. Mj looked up to see Beth sitting next to her with tears in her eyes. “Beth!” Mj croaked and Beth reached up and pulled Mj into a soft loving hug. Both women began to cry uncontrollably and Mj held on to Beth as if she were the only thing holding her to the ground.
Mj ran down the hall, she was wearing only a long cotton t-shirt and white cotton panties, her bare feet slapped against the floor echoing around her. She burst through the door, she remembered being a dining area and sure enough all the other wolves were there and her eyes fell on Ace, out of breath she released the doors and walked over to him. Ace stood up as Mj approached him and the room was silent. Mj had been asleep for quite a while and
Dante hung his head and leaned on the door he was still holding open. Lou walked over to Dante as Beth and Mara cleared the rest of the table and put his large meat hook of a hand on Dante’s back. “She's a real spit fire that one, but she will come around just don't give up on her,” Lou paused looking off into the distance, “she’s had enough people do that in her life” Dante shrugged him off and growled in annoyance “what do you mean old man” Dante was not in the mood for some old wolf and his sentimental bullshit “Does it look like I have given up,” Dante snapped “why don't you worry about your own damn problems becaus
Several times Dante had tried to pick Mj up and carry her but she just slapped his hands away or dodged his arms so he gave up as they had reached Alpha's private office anyway. The huge double doors were made of a deep brown wood polished to a dull shine and carved across them was a scene only visible when they were closed. It was that of a man and a huge wolf connected to the same heart by what looked like roots and holding the heart was a woman. “It was beautiful and terrifying at the same time,” Mj thought. “It was like they worshiped the woman, or they were gonna eat her heart at this point it could be either.”
******* 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
