2023-04-02 21:20:52The stony silence enveloped the car painfully as Luca drove south, far, far south. Alissa and Michael were both sporting crossed arms glaring daggers at each other. The darkness of the night was starting to give way to day, their features lit up by the yellow street lamps at regular intervals and the sun not quite at the horizon. Luca rubbed his face, stretching his fingers from gripping the steering wheel for so long.
“Have you two finished yet?” Luca snapped at the thick atmosphere.
“No.” Alissa sulked, clenching her jaw.
“You could have told me,” Michael pouted.
“And you could have kept your trap shut!” Alissa retorted, twisting in her seat.

Alissa stepped out of the car admiring the low hedges and rolling manicured lawns. She had never seen grass so short, or lines running through it. A man in his twenties ran to them, his short black hair blending in with his black suit “Alpha Luca, you're right on time, let me show you to the meeting room”“Thank you” Luca replied carefully, entwining his fingers in Alissa's, he followed the young man, Michael bringing up the rear.They entered the house and Alissa let out a gasp. The white walls with gold accented mouldings gave decoration that made Alissa think of money. She looked up to a huge crystal chandelier glinting in the light. The man led the trio down a tall arched hallway before knocking on a large white double door, pushing it open to reveal a meeting room. Rufus' white hair almost camouflaging in the wal

An arm went around Alissa and she was suddenly pulled back and slammed into the intricately painted wall. A large hand went around her throat and tightened before she was lifted, her legs dangling helplessly below her. Panic exploded in her chest, memories filtered into her mind of all the times she was in the same position. She was back in the office. She was back being a slave. She was alone, back being the whipping pole. She struggled desperately, her fingernails digging into the hand pinning her in place but then as quickly as it happened the hand disappeared from her neck.Alissa landed but didn't manage to regain her footing, falling heavily to the floor in a heap. She looked up to see her attacker being wrestled by two large burly men, similar build and height to Malachi. Cain between them, a sick twisted smile on his face. “I'm sorry, miss” one of the burly men mutte

A few hours later. Wade led Luca, Alissa and Michael to another room, this one larger than the previous meeting room. Instead of a large table however, seven throne like chairs were sat on a plinth. Two tables stood opposite each other on an angle towards the chairs. Cain sat behind one of the mahogany tables, chains clinking at every movement.The three sat at the other table, Alissa turned to face the chairs instead of looking at Cain. Movement could be heard at the door. Alissa gulped as Rufus walked in front of her followed by five other men. Alissa recognised Raoul and John from when they had come to deal with the vagrant. She also obviously recognised Wade, the other two men were strangers. They all took their seats, one being left empty… the seventh council member.Alissa quickly asked Luca in her mind

A few moments later a phone was handed to Rufus, he dialled and everyone waited “Hello, it's High Lykos Rufus… No no problem I was wondering if Kristen was around… yes, yes I'll wait.” Rufus looked around the room “See what she had to say shall we?” he focused back on the phone, pressing it so everyone could hear “Not a word Cain, Miss Howthorne” Alissa nodded, Cain just stared seriously. They heard a rustle then “Hello?” her voice crackling through the phone“Hello is that Kristen?”“Yes, Blake said you wanted to speak to me High Lykos? Is my brother OK?”“Yes dear he's fine I just need to ask-”“Darling it's daddy just tell… them… that-” every cou

A little while later, Wade came to collect them and brought them back to the room they had previously been in, six of the chairs full once Wade took his seat. Cain was already sat behind his table. The two guards now stood behind him. “Miss and Mr Howthorne, you made excellent cases, well done. Of course Alissa, I should really be calling you Alpha, but I shall wait until after the ceremony, which I'm excited to be attending. Alpha Luca, you're doing an excellent job and the siblings next to you are a testament to that. I'm happy the Wuffaman pack is in excellent hands and wish I would live to see the day you take your position as High Lykos.” Luca sat straighter and exuded pride at Rufus' kind words.“Now, Cain, all I can say is you're a disgrace. Even if these allegations hadn't been made I'd be revoking your position with the council”

The darkness wrapped around the woodland when they finally drove up their road. Alissa was about ready to drop and Michael was snoring the back. Luca rubbed his eye as he reversed into the car shed, squeezing beside the other car. Turning off the engine, he just had to sit for a minute. He’d been ignoring what had just happened.Or maybe he was just not processing it properly.He wouldn’t talk about it though or let Alissa know. No way. He needed to be strong for her and she was already stressed with the ceremony preparations. He didn’t need to add to anything she was feeling.His issues were his own, they always had been. They always would be.“We home?” Alissa asked sleepily.

Alissa and Kristen had been getting ready for hours. Luca was close to banging down the door to get them to hurry up when Jack laid a hand on his shoulder “They're not late,” he reminded Luca. Luca had overestimated how long it would take him to get ready in his white three piece suit, he had liked it in the shop but liked it more now. The black lapels complimented the black shirt. Unbeknownst to Alissa he had added a red tie.“Got your rope?” Jack asked, Luca gave him a stiff nod, he was nervous but not wanting to show it. He checked the gold pocket watch he had attached to the black buttons of his waistcoat, he would give them five more minutes then they would be late. The door banged open behind them, Luca let out a little growl, he was on edge.

Ice shot down her back as more growls were added to the first. Grabbing Luca’s hand she looked around, as did everyone in the clearing. A rumble of disquiet filtered through the crowd, the unease as everyone craned to look where the growls had come from. Every Alpha in the clearing began growling and coming forward, their backs tense, a pose of protection mimicked by every Alpha. Despite their growls, it hadn't been them to growl initially.A flash of fur had Alissa turning to spot a dark wolf slipping from between the trees before others came into view, teeth flashing in the moonlight.Luca reacted instantly, pulling his arm from Alissa and pushing her behind him, away from the wolves who were surrounding the gathering. She instinctively grabbed onto his jacket, she was more shocked than scared, her mind not compre

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. In a last ditch attempt, she threw her bo
