Hands, strong, confident and persisting glided over her skin, to slowly coax her back to the land of living. Vanessa struggled to listen to it. If she could stay where she was, she would've found a whole new world. But they were bordering on shaking her now and despite her desire to stay here, she knew a warm body was waiting for her. One she, even in the state of chaos, can't turn down.

Noah drew her to him. Her pale skin had been a thing of fascination, but now it haunted him. She looked ghostly. He knew of her nightmares. He had reduced them to stress or a childhood trauma along with her sleepwalking. But this has unruly written all over it. Now that he'd seen the extent of it, he worried. And his wolf agitated. Something wasn't right and he didn't think she had any idea about it.

Vanessa was sweating with multiplied frenzy. The nightmares began slowly, this one was violent and crushing. Her body temperature rose but she sought respite in his arms and didn't want to push away. No

    "You need to clean up. I am not running you baths anymore." She sauntered to the door. The sway of her hips exaggerated. He knew it was for him. "Do I have to say please for a coffee?" The smug smile confused her. And she always made his coffee. "Why are you smiling?" She was the one alluring him this time. Wasn't she? "On a scale of one to ten, kitten. How wet are you?" He smirked. His sense of smell was a seduction arsenal now."Besides," he made a show of stretching his arms, "I am content with my mark on you." She harrumphed and walked away, his laugh making her smile all the way to her own room. Moments later Gregory Flynn was sitting across from Noah Abel, expecting to lose a surmountable time locked in battle of wills. The one that started with staring into eyes to intimidate and then some uncomfortable information spread on the distance between them to show who knew what about the other person. Apparently, Noah didn't like to waste time. Gregory's only relief was Noah d

    Noah got up, rounded his table to sit on the corner near Gregory Flynn."So he isn't the one behind driving clans to inhospitable forests?" When he was this close to figuring it out, things slipped away. But he could see Gregory was positively green in the face now. "I didn't think it was repetitive enough to become a sequence. Rudiger believes someone blamed his clan members for something they didn't do and he hasn't figured out who?" "Yes. I told him I could find out. And I will." Caustic certainty coated Noah's words. He continued,"But until I do. I need him to cast his doubt on Desmond." "Yes. That can be done. About the deals. Communion is investing a lot in studying DNA and mapping it to genes, inheritance. That sort of thing." Gregory paused to let them soak it in but it was a no shocker to either boy. Well then."They have announced it as a way to treat illnesses. Mental or otherwise." Rehabilitation and treatment was a well endowed farce. All the mercenaries were promis

    Vanessa recoiled into herself at his stare. He was her parent, her support system, that had crashed and burned. They were close for two and half years when she was a toddler. If she hadn’t been privy to his kind, nurturing self, she wouldn’t long for it now. Instead of shutting him up, she asserted the same politeness. “I work here.” “That's the best you can do?”, his snide was ugly.“If you had taught me how to become a pathological liar, I could lie. But this is the truth. You forget, we have a debt to pay.”Gregory drew back as if she had slapped him. He didn’t want to think of the debt, he was working his way to even more powerful creatures, way up in the food chain by whose mercy, the debt would’ve been wiped off entirely. No debt to begin with. Vanessa thought the debt was monetary. It was his fault for keeping things from her. He himself was unaware of the nature or the extent of it but his instincts told him money stood no chance against the demands of repayment. ‘Noah us

    “Vanessa has never mind linked with anyone except three people in her life. Me, Carmen, and Silas. She was just six, an innocent child when I decided we were better off as rogues. I don’t wish to rehash history you both know so well,’’ Noah was quiet, “and she saw some things on the run. I… it was difficult. When we came here, we weren’t part of this pack. For a long time, she refused to speak to anyone. By the time she was twelve, she had other problems, and from there on stayed isolated. She can cut off links with ease because she isn’t used to them. She never allows herself to be vulnerable with them.”Noah’s abhorrence alone would've strangled the man sitting there, accepting defeat like he couldn’t have changed things. All wolves knew linking left the chambers of the brain wide open, it was the ultimate form of trust put on a pedestal by the patience, understanding, and care it required to form into a full-fledged bond. Be it family or other pack members, which is why rogues did

    "Lost? As in lost in the jungle?" The kid shrugged his soldiers, and started biting his nails again. A habit born of anxiety. "Stop that." Evan regretted saying anything when he saw the tears well up in his eyes. Shit. He didn't have experience with kids, none at all. And his reprimand came off more harshly than necessary."Okay Ian. I'll find her okay? I promise. She won't be lost. Between you and me, we are not going to fail her, are we?" Ian shook his head, bouncing the curls all over which a minute later were in between Evan's fingers. He thought of one person who'd know where she always was. 'Noah''Evan. What do you need?' He didn't mind Noah's curt tone. 'Do you know where Vanessa is?' 'She went for a run. Why?' An arctic chill overrode Evan's sensory inputs. Did Noah not like that he was asking about Vanessa or he was worried about her because something had happened?'Why do you ask Evan?' This time, it was a command. 'She is not okay. She is not in danger but she shoul

    Her ambiguous report on Vanessa ruffled him the wrong way. He wanted her to do more, know more. Know better. But he can’t command them anything. Like rogues, healers were born, not made. Their healing qualities were a sum of genetics, experience and years of learning. This was one race wolves lagged in, they never felt the need to experiment, study clinical trials because their pack healers could find faults, diseases, benign or cancerous . They spent their strength on healing wolves by rejuvenating the cells. Being an Alpha made no guarantees of all that he knew. Healers, all across the world, never talked much about how they healed wolves. It was no guarded secret, they just didn’t expect others to understand. ‘How is she?’ Evan. Again.He had talked to him three times already. He was still with Ian who had fallen asleep in Vanessa’s room apparently because he was too stubborn to go to his room. Poor Evan was scared of a child. Noa h knew then, to not force the matter. ‘Fine. Sh

    Noah noticed her eyes not moving from their hands so he kept stroking. Her knuckles were slightly scraped. “What happened Vanessa?” his wolf refused to give her any more space.“I hurt my father. You saw what happened.” She was being deliberately obtuse. He saw her chin angled in rebellion. She was his kitten. The same spitfire. It relieved him but spurred him on all the same. This is what they did. She ran, he chased, knowing he had the vehement impulse to conquer her, he forgot himself and the fictions of the day in order to have her. But that had to stop. He pinched the bridge of his nose so acutely, she knew she had to be getting on his nerves. Serves him right, she thought. Why should she tell him everything? Or anything. “You are going to tell me what’s wrong with you. Or so help me God Vanessa.” His fury wasn’t directed at her but she was very sensitive now for some reason.All her bravery and spine to face Noah Abel and his deceptive world lay husk like. She gulped, and h

    How delusional was she? He wasn’t to be tamed with a few ‘pleases’. She was hurt. And he hurt her. That didn’t give her the right to draw a wedge between them. His wolf battered away at his head but Noah, the human half, knew how this worked. Still, he didn’t know why he couldn’t follow Mikhail’s advice and cut himself clean, no strings, and walk away. How could he?Noah had demanded, ordered, chastised, going lax only when her defenses were down. But now he coaxed her. Not with his tongue alone. He looked different. The poignant look he had perfected slipped away like an old visage. He was feeling something. Something he couldn’t speak about. She had never pitied him before, and she wasn’t going to now. But she can assume how lonely it had to be. She was lonely too.And her wolf was content, lapping up the steamrolled expertise of his wolf. Noah didn’t let her do much work. Dictating how they angled their heads to how long they can survive without air. Well, her. Because she was pa

    'Love does find a way afterall. No matter what obstacles are laid before us, if our love is pure, it will win at the end, no matter what.' Vanessa thought as a smile lit her face up. She was sitting comfortably on a couch, in a large sweatshirt that belonged to Noah, now her husband.She thought back to their wedding ceremony, it was a wonderful affair filled with laughter, love and hope. All their friends had come, looking clean in their dresses and suits. Noah had left last night, in wolf form, hollering and calling loudly to the moon. A makeshift bachelor party- a wild run in the forest and then some chilled beer at a cliff with a nice view. That left Vanessa to sit back at home, thumbing through her favorite book and smiling now and then. It was midnight when she decided to call it a night and go to bed- her last night as a single lady. Just then, she caught sight of a rustling figure outside the window. It was Noah, his hair windswept and his cheeks red from being drunk. He was

    She watched his face, less shy about its location on the map of her body. He was smiling to himself, mischievous, his eyes on his work. Small pool of sweat gathered at her lower back, at the dimples he liked so much. He was finger painting.She gasped, trying to twist away as he wrote more. But he didn't have to. "Noah...." Was she going to weep? She didn't want to weep. "Is that a yes or a no?" The wolf was relaxed this time around. Like it had gotten what it wanted for the time being, she knew the decision was equally human. "Yes! Yes, I'll marry you." "If you can stop snotting, maybe then..." She hit his shoulder. When he kissed her, on the psychic plane, his wolf appeared. Battered, strong, feral. And with him- a bond. It was a great shining thing, like a falling moon. An orb born of love tumbling in the creeks, in the meadows. She had only to catch it. And she did. With it came a smaller bond-Ian. Unafraid, she linked herself to it. The distance between them felt like sph

    The last thing she remembered was his claws digging in her ass, and their pleasure sated bodies a tangle of limbs. Where was he now? Not next to her. But he had slept, the bed held his impressions. Coming to herself, she blushed. His smell was so strong on her, hers had nearly vanished. She had an inkling that these were the signs of mating bond completing itself. Even he would smell more like Vanessa than himself. The animal was playing for keeps, and it wanted to be kept as an equal. She found him sitting on the porch stairs. She grabbed his shirt, shivered at how sensitized her skin felt, trying desperately to keep herself from looking at the spot of blood on lavender sheets. Thankfully, they weren't white. His marks, teeth, hand, claws pulsed in her body. Her body held his secrets more tenderly than it did anything else. He sensed her approach, straightening his legs, making space for her between them. She went, hiding behind her hair. His content was contagious. Bare chested

    The satisfaction coursing through him was so arrogant, so unfaltering in its ownership, her wolf quivered a little in fear. If he consumed her, would she live to see another day? Intrigued, he rubbed his jaw against the inside of her legs, her scent decadent, strong. He fumbled with his jeans before pulling them down. His wolf wanted to take. To turn her around on hands and knees, mount her, and when she'd arch her neck in pleasure, take a bite. It'll hurt but he'd share the pain. "Noah?" She was still here. Legs spread, waiting for him. He smiled. His mind was playing tricks on him, he won't take her like an animal. That'll have to wait. He suddenly dipped his head and she shoved a discarded pillow to her face. Which was a good thing. Because the scream that tore out of her was no human. Her eyes shifted, her wolf begging to have her equal measure of the sensations. His eyes still on her face, he licked her between her thighs. The tender bud begged for his attention, which in h

    When he threw up his shields, she was back in front of him. Tonight, there was no leash. She wanted to play, he'll abide. The wolf bared its teeth.... She shot out with a grin. Adrenaline shot through her, she was nowhere near as fast as him. But she could read his thought clear as a bright sunny day. Apart from the high of the chase, she was humbled by the trust. He lowered his shields to nil and let her in. She had yet to do that.He was getting closer, the wolf didn't try to hide the heavy breathing, his massive lungs resounding in warning because he wanted her to know when he was near. Claws out, canines protruding, Noah was no longer human. Not a single part of him. Heart raising hard and fast, she sharpened her run into the direction of lower range, a steep one her much smaller body could maintain running at. Noah's much larger frame would tumble at this speed, so he pulled out an old trick. He laid down and rolled like a barrel. Laughter bubbled inside of her. 'Nice trick.'

    "I am sorry I made you feel unwelcome. Consider this an apology." He kissed her knuckles, a small key pressed to her palm, the soft crinkle of paper-a note. She couldn't read his thoughts anymore. But he walked away with a purpose. Dusk clambered in the Nebraska, the summer of dragging afternoons fast learning to evade the gossamery warmth for autumn seeping in sycamore trees, yellow golden leaves ready to replace the greens. Beyond the moonbeam dancing stream, stood two peaks, protecting the land from the unknowns, so many unknowns. The peaks, they are not exultant, and they no longer believe themselves to be the instrument of some great intention. They are, but a shadow of those living beings looking up at them, creatures grasping at life with stained hands. Waiting. Hoping. Vanessa hid her gasp, swallowing the thick ball of emotion in her throat. A heavy weight ruffled the decidous low hanging branches in the trees but she didn't have to turn around to know who it was. Her soul

    Home.The black villa doors opened to reveal the place she had thought would save her from the mountain of debt she had buried herself under. The debt was the answer she had been waiting for, and apparently so was Silas. Greggory Flynn, she had kept his ashes in a thurible, had never given her complete answers. They arrived, to find Mikhail, Beatrice and Rourke waiting for them in the foyer. Vanessa was searching for Mrs.Kemp and her cupcake smelling apron. Beatrice looked healthier but the awkward distance between her and Mikhail didn't go unnoticed by anyone. "This here, little heathen, has more body count than me, brother. What do you say to that?" Evan dragged Vanessa from under Noah's arm to his side, strangling her in a side hug. Vanessa was beyond grateful. She didn't know how to break ice with Mikhail. The last time he had her tied to a chair in the basement, he had his reasons but that didn't make it okay. She didn't know where to go with him from here. She loved Noah but

    Vanessa shuffled inside her closet, her claustrophobia all but gone. She was done packing but not ready to head back home. Things felt so incomplete. In past two days, she had tried to access Calvin's mind but had failed. When all of them, Selene, Falkner, Silas, Noah, Evan and Jodie convene for finalizing border control policies she had to tell them. She wanted everyone to know there were others like her, the Communion will want a hard proof. "Come in." She knew it was Evan. "Hii. I am resigning. Consider this official." He had been in a jolly good mood, he always was when he worked on secret plans but this time, Vanessa knew it was about Jodie. His mind was a back to back movie night on weekends, filled with lewd imagery of things he'd like to do to her.The powers did have it's shortcomings. "Resigning?" His shields were up. "Yes." Evan folded his legs, sat on the newly purchased futon, which Noah had gifted Vanessa because she liked to sleep on the floor. Bed after thirty six

    He begrudgingly admitted nudity was her last preserve right now. She shifted but did a very poor job of hiding herself, the swell of her ass, small and pert with tan lines- he groaned- held his attention. Until he moved it to her shoulder. Stripes, more stripes of red, white, yellow, blue. What the fuck was it? How did she get bruises this bad? Before he could ask, she begged for a clothing. Anything he might have. He stripped off his shirt and threw it to her. She scrambled into it like she was on fire. No more inadvertent strip show, his cat saddened by the perspectiveShe knew what he was going to ask. It was always there, in the manner people stood, slightly skewed, uncomfortable of her reaction even before she had reacted. Scars. He had seen them. And she knew he won't let it go. "You aren't going anywhere until you answer me." Lonely, she wanted to be with her own kind after being denied association for so long.
