Alissa walked into the tree line to get undressed, a slight nervous flutter in her stomach as Luca undressed in the open, she thought he was such a show off. She put her clothes on a tree stump and got ready to transform, she dropped to her knees in the green undergrowth. “Come on, Wolf,” she muttered as not a lot happened. She willed, she begged her wolf to take hold,

“Hurry up!” she heard Luca in her brain, her wolf reared its head with his voice. She rolled her eyes but the change took hold.

A wolf burst out of the tree line, Alissa's grey with strands of brown flecks wolf padded over to Luca's huge honey brown form, resembling the colour of his hair. Even in wolf form Luca was a foot taller than Alissa – an Alpha Wolf. They walked together into the trees, tails swishing, before Luca's voice shouted, “Go.” To which he broke into a run.

“No fair,” Alissa called back and ran after him just seeing his tail whip from view. Alissa went as fast as she could to catch up, but she was st

    Luca's hands rested gently over Alissa's eyes as he walked her down the corridor, she heard a door open and then the hands left her eyes. Blinking, she gradually became accustomed to the light in the room. Luca stood in the middle with his arms wide open, “Tah dah! welcome to your room.” He smiled. Alissa looked around the room, she hadn't been in this one before. A wooden bed stood to one side, a carved headboard against the wall, a floral bed sheet adorned the bed with matching dark blue throw cushions arranged neatly against the pillows. A throw also sat to the end of the bed, matching the throw cushions. She had a suspicion Kristen had done that, she couldn't see Michael, Blake or Jack arranging throw cushions.A dressing table was on the same wall as the door. Opposite, a bookcase nestled between the two windows which were framed in curtains that matched the dark blue silk of the throw and cushions. There were two doors on the other side of the room to the bed, she opened the fi

    Alissa's eyes fluttered open, something had woken her but she didn't know what. She closed her eyes again before she heard another knock on her door, she rubbed her eyes. “Come in” Alissa sat up in bed as she saw Michael coming in with a tray. “Hey Ali, how you feeling?” He looked sheepish and uncomfortable. Alissa hadn't been called that in a long time, it had been her dad who shortened her name. She mumbled at him partly tired, partly still angry at him. “I made you breakfast.” He placed the tray on her lap. Alissa looked down at the jam toast, a coffee and orange juice. She gave Michael a small smile and thanked him as he left.After breakfast she showered and got ready. Opening the drawers of the dressing table she found make-up, hair straighteners, curlers and all products you could ever want for. Her hands went over them, but she landed on the hair ties and put her long hair in a side plait. Pinning unruly parts in place. She allowed her hand to graze along the bannister of

    Early the next afternoon, Luca's booming voice could be heard from the sitting room, “Pack meeting!” It made Alissa's spine tingle. She turned to the sitting room hesitantly. She hadn't been involved in pack meetings before and was unsure if this included her, after all, she wasn’t a member of the pack officially. She poked her head round the door frame, Luca and Jack were the only ones there so far. Luca looked up and smiled warmly, “Alissa, come and sit.” Alissa looked around, was she ready to see everyone? Luca obviously noticed her hesitation and guided her to an armchair, keeping his hand on her shoulder. “Luca, I-” She wriggled against his grip. “Everyone has something to say, also you need to know how things are changing under my charge.”Alissa squirmed under Luca's strong hand. She knew she couldn't outdo his strength but she wanted to run, her wolf wanted to stay. She didn't want that hand to move, it radiated heat and power and her wolf was hungry for it, 'I want him,' h

    Alissa felt tired after so many people being around. She stood up and rubbed her head, Luca stood too as if he were to follow. Alissa shook her head, “I'm fine, I just need some time alone.” She left the room, hearing Jack's voice behind her, “It's going to take time.”Alissa left the house, she needed fresh air. The house felt so stuffy after the whole pack had invaded the house. She stripped just beyond the treeline and Alissa felt her wolf take over her insides as her skin burnt with fur breaking through. She groaned as slowly she felt the transformation take hold. Her vision shifted to the yellowed spectrum. She shook her wolf head before starting to run. Her large grey paws pounded the woodland floor, her four limbs still not wishing to coordinate, making her stumble and slow until her rhythm returned. Alissa's wolf's primal urges took over her mind, she allowed them so her thoughts could be simple, 'hunt, sleep, fight and mate' became her only thoughts as she ran.A scent caugh

    Almost a week had gone by since everyone apologised, but she was still doing as much avoidance as before. Except for now her safety was the woods; in her wolf form. Having done two circuits of the woodland before the sun was at its highest she trotted to the river which ran through the wood. Tired; she laid down. Her fluffy head rested on her large paws, while her furry ears flicked to the sounds around. She could hear the fish in the river, birds tweeted their songs above. The nature that surrounded her put her in peace. The woods were becoming a firm favourite of places to be. There was something about being alone, just nature, insects, birds, mammals and trees to keep her company.A snap of twigs forced her golden eyes open. She turned her head towards the sound and saw Kristen coming through the trees, twigs tangled in her brown hair. Alissa huffed and turned her head back to the river. “I bought you a change of clothes, and a sandwich.” She placed them next to Alissa's wolf figu

    The main course came out, roast chicken, roasted root vegetables, stuffing, gravy; everything you could want on your plate. They piled all of the plates high and dug into the mountains they had each created, eating until they felt they could explode. It tasted so good, they ate more! They all sat back hands on stomachs, groaning. “That was great, thanks everyone.” Alissa looked around the table. “It was our pleasure,” Luca responded.“Pudding?” Blake said excitedly. Everyone moaned. “Alright Blake, I know you made it specially.” Michael clapped Blake on the back as he got up to go retrieve it.“Aunty Dotty helped me a little.” Blake set the apple pie down and placed his hand on her shoulder, Dotty was everyone's Aunt but related to no-one; her pup had died much too young and she could never bring herself to have another. “But he did most of it himself, I'm very proud.” Dotty smiled up at Blake. He started serving portions of the pie, handing it around the table. “Looks good,” K

    Alissa woke up, her mouth dry. She didn't remember getting to bed the previous night. Movement next to her made her start. “Morning sunshine!” Blake exclaimed. Alissa pulled the duvet up to her chin letting out a squeal of surprise. “Uh, not so loud!” she complained, his voice split through her head. “What are you doing here?” He laughed, “Brought you this, I heard you last night.” He produced water and pain killers. Alissa grasped at the water gulping it down. “Have fun did we?” Blake handed her the two tablets. “Shut up, and get out of my bed.”“Not what you were saying last night.” He winked. The colour drained from her face, “We didn't...” panic rising in her. He laughed again. “Just messing. I actually came to give you those and tell you training’s in half an hour, better get yourself ready.” He grinned getting up. “No,” she groaned and settled back into her nice comfy bed. The covers were snatched from her hand; Blake had pulled them. “If we don't see you in twenty minutes

    Alissa and Luca quietly left the house as the sun rose, making their way behind Tom's house for more privacy as he wasn't home. Like the main house, Tom's house was made of stone, with the roof sprawled in moss and the walls, covered in ivy. Alissa had never been inside but it was a similar size to her parents house, so she could only guess it would have a similar interior. Alissa stretched while Luca jogged around the garden area, dandelion seeds puffed into the air under his feet. Alissa watched him as she stretched her shoulders before she jogged to join him for his last lap.Luca stood in the middle of the garden, “Today, we are going to focus on blocking, I want a few blocks to be muscle memory.” He tapped her temple gently. Alissa nodded, “Guard up!” he demanded. Alissa jumped, then raised her arms. “If I go to strike here-” He brought his hand as if to strike her side, stopping an inch from her. Alissa tried to think, she didn't know so she used her hands to push his arm out th

    Alissa nursed her baby, she cooed down to him, his perfect tiny fingers gripped at her finger while he suckled. “Aunty, where's daddy?” Peta entered the room and sat at Alissa's feet.“He's keeping you safe little one, he loves you so much, come here.” She shifted her baby so Peta could climb on her lap.He peered up to her questioning, “I want daddy.” Tears welled in his emerald eyes.Alissa curled his chin length hair around her fingers. “I know, darling, he has to do his job though, but he has to keep us safe doesn't he? Or he wouldn't be a good wolf.” A large tear fell from Peta's eye. The little one had been very clingy recently.Maybe it was the birth of her and Luca’s little bundle of jo

    Alissa couldn’t help flicking her glance to Luca every now and then, it may have been a few days but she still felt he was going to disappear within a moments notice. He caught her eye and opened his arms, dragging her into his body as soon as she was in arms reach. “It’s all going to be alright,” he whispered.She sunk into him, everything felt so right, his arms, his heat, the pressure of him against her body. It was what she needed.“Be better when we’re back home too,” he reassured.Alissa nodded against him, nuzzling slightly. “I miss home,” she whispered.He rocked her gently, squeezing her against him. “Me too, I wish the investigation hadn’t taken so long but at least it’s a

    Luca grasped Alissa’s hand tightly as Rufus lead them through the council building to the sitting room beside the meeting room where the Alphas were filing into. “I’ll be right with you,” Rufus directed to the Alphas before following Luca and Alissa in.“Do you have any idea what’s going on?” Luca asked.“I don’t, in truth. I wish to listen to them all regarding their concerns but… please, tell me what happened. I’ve heard Alissa’s perspective, I need yours.”Luca nodded, sitting the the cream sofa, tugging Alissa with him, not wanting to let her go. “From the beginning?” he asked to clarify.Rufus nodded, “Please.”

    “I second that query, High Council.”Alissa frowned. A voice she knew so well permeating into her mind. She knew she was hearing wrong, knew that voice wasn’t real. It couldn’t be real… but it sounded so real.Gasps erupted around them, from everyone, not just the council. A ripple of surprise spread from everyone.Michael grabbed her hand and she almost had the confidence to look up but didn’t. She couldn’t look, she didn’t want to confirm or deny it was his voice. She didn’t want to know.“My land is not up for discussion, let alone on a day like this. But it is my land, High Council.”“Alpha Wuffaman,” High Council Vilkaman bre

    The sun was warmer than it had been for months, the beginnings of spring poking through barren trees, dandelions budding within the dewy, luscious grass that looked inviting despite what the day was. Alphas, families, betas, and probably some others were sat, some on chairs, some on the grass, some had rolled up sleeping bags beneath them. It looked like any congregation when their packs came together but this felt very different. It felt wrong. It felt unjust.Alissa stood beside Michael on a slightly raised stage to the side, the white council house to their backs, the sun almost blinding them as it rose high above the trees. The council was assembled… All six of them were assembled (including Raoul much to her displeasure) at the front of the congregation. A congregation to mourn for her mate. Her pack, her nephew, her brother, her friends.

    After getting changed, Alissa popped the wet, stained shirt on the arm of the sofa, unsure where to put it before sitting nervously. Her mind wasn’t really working properly, that was what it felt like. She felt she’d been given more information than she could process and arrange in her tired, dishevelled mind.There was a knock on the door and she was up off the sofa, taking long strides towards the door, “Yes, come in,” she called before she got to the door, wanting the door open.Michael stepped in, his hair as disheveled as his clothes. There were rings under his eyes and he looked just as bad as before he’d gone away… maybe worse. Alissa didn’t even give him time to look before she lunged at him, wrapping herself around him, clinging to his neck.&ldqu

    Luca was vibrating, desperate to not let his anger out but he was finding it hard. Not knowing… Not having a clue what was going on. Angry Malachi had downed him, and he had no idea why.Alissa. Where was Alissa?“I’m going into the pack. I’m not sitting here like some prisoner,” Luca stated, a tiny rumbling growl through his words.“The pack member, Steve told us to stay here for safety,” Henry announced calmy.“He didn’t tell me.” Luca stood, he wasn’t some pup to be told to stay put. Fuck that.“I’ll be back soon,” he told the room, heading for the door.&ldq

    He watched a car move away, just knowing Alissa was within. A feeling a safety moved over him… at least knowing Alissa was safe. He wasn’t safe though. A wolf body slammed him, sprawling him to the floor but he didn’t reach the floor, he kept falling… and falling.He was running through the woods, Aunty Dotty clinging to his arm as he kept moving, he was getting her to safety… he just knew that.Aunty Dotty slipped from his arm… she was safe with humans, a human ally, his vision shifted and changed, a new landscape before him, scents flooded his nose, he needed to keep going, keep moving. There was a scent he had to find. He panted, pushing himself to follow the scent. He hadn’t stopped, hadn’t slept. It was a vagrant’s scent he was hunting… although whether it wa

    His hand fastened tighter over her mouth, preventing any breath to escape. She wriggled and struggled in his hold only for a panic to blind her as his other hand came up, his fingers pinching her nose.He was going to smother her.She stamped her feet down, struggled and fought with all her strength. She shook her head, desperate to get his hand dislodged enough for her to suck in a breath.She would not die today.Black crept into the edges of her vision so she struggled harder only for her head to spin from exertion with no oxygen. She stamped her foot down, landing squarely on his but it didn’t release his hold. He was infallible, regardless what she did nothing was working. She was running out of time.
