Crumble:Douglas crossed the border into his land. He took a deep breath, the smell of pine wrapping around him. The temper is slightly colder than the surrounding areas. He let out the breath he took in. He was happy to be home. He walked down the pebble path towards the lodge looking pack house. He made it through the gate and passed their border. No alert, no siren nothing. They were not used to being worried about any threat. Their Alpha was a council member no one dared to come on their land uninvited. Walking into the hall of the pack house there was silence. The pack house felt almost like a resort in the mountains. Very rustic and woodsy, He knew it was late but was surprised no one was up and about. He went to his office and sat down in his chair in front of the fireplace.“Samuel.”He mindlinked his beta.There was no response, Douglas realized he had to be sleeping. He leaned back, shutting his eyes, sleep creeping up on him. He shook his head trying to shake it away as a ya
Guarded: Dante walked sleepy and sluggish down the hall. The thoughts of war in his mind. He had been there before. He wouldn't have second guessed it and he didnt this time. He just wanted to know when they were going to be able to not be constantly defending themselves. He paused at his door. Sarah. She was hurt from being in wolfsbane cuffs but she didn't act like anything happened. He felt a flicker of anger. Some horrible things had happened to her. He took a deep breath trying to push those thoughts away as he walked into their room. Sarah was curled up in his bed sleeping. The blanket wrapped around her midsection, her leg draped over it showing her bottom off just slightly. He smiled softly and walked over to the bed. He pulled his shirt up over his head and then unbuttoned his jeans, letting them slide off of him. Stepping out of them he went to get into the bed, that's when he noticed. Sarah's breathing had increased, she was flinching and whimpering in her sleep. “No!
Intruder: Nora woke up just before the sun was coming up. She glanced over to Jace watching him sleep peacefully. She watched the slow sunlight dance across the floor and then touch upon his face. Nora smiled wondering how he could sleep so well with everything going on. She turned over on her side to look at him better. She brushed the dark almost raven color lock of hair out of his face. He didn't even move, hsi breathing didn't change. He was still so peacefully asleep. She stood walking over to the window. She was afraid for the future, scared of what it meant now that her secrets were out. Now that she had declared war. She didn't want anyone else getting hurt. She was staring out the window where a strong feeling hit her. It was like something broke. She felt a shift in power. Something big had just happened. Jace sat up seconds later, he was breathing heavily like some had thrown cold water on him. Sarah turned from the window looking at him confused. “Did you feel that
Pre-planning:The man was tall, his eyes were brown and he had sandy brown hair that was ruffled into a mess, like he had just rolled out of bed. He backed up putting distance between himself and Jace. He then raised his hands up defensively. Jace stepped closer closing him in, his eyes glowing a fierce ice blue as Cole was just below the surface ready to rip this intruder apart. The man backed up into the pack house door. His back pressed up against it, as Jace cornered him in. The man held his hand up to Jace as if telling him to wait. He gritted his teeth and Jace was wondering who exactly he was. He could feel that he was powerful and his gut was telling him he was from the council.“What are you doing creeping around my land?” Jace growled.“Douglas sent me. I need to speak to you urgently.” The man said quickly. “Douglas?” Jace said surprised, he had been expecting something from Lance.Nora growled fiercely behind him and Dante’s eyes glowed ready to shift. The door behind t
History:Nora wandered into the kitchen. It would be minutes now for the other packs to start to arrive. Lori had whipped up something to make it more casual. Even though they would be talking of war, food always seemed to make everything better. Nora reached over and plucked a red grape off its vine and bit into it. She zoned out everything rushing into her mind.“It's not good to hold things in constantly.” Lori said softly.“I’m just worried.” Nora said, grabbing another grape.“War is scary, that's normal to be worried.” Lori said with a small smile.“It's not the war part that scares me. I’m worried I can't keep them all safe.” Nora said, hearing it outloud made her stomach clench inwards on itself.The rush to vomit again hit her. She turned, grabbing a hold of the sink and preparing to empty her stomach. She turned on the sink, cupped her hands and let them fill with water. She splashed the water over her face. Trying to let the cold water chase away the feeling. “Luna, you wi
Preparing:“Hunter’s were once wolves?” Kellen laughed, shaking his head.Jace looked at Nora nervous, he didn't want her to explain. He was begging her with his eyes to stop. They didn't need to know. He was worried that if she told them the other packs may turn on them. He didn't know if he would be strong enough to protect her. He glanced at Dante who shifted his stance nervously.“Yes. Hunters date back to the original bloodlines of wolves. The two powerful families. However one was cursed to become something strong enough to hunt wolves. Hunters. The wolf blood line faded out amongst them as time went on but in the very beginning they were wolves.” Nora said ignoring the glances Jace was giving her.“Well that is some fairy tale. Who exactly told you this?” Kellen laughed while the room was silent.“The goddess.” Nora said quietly. “The moon goddess, the mother of all. Spoke to you.” Kellen said in disbelief.“Mhmm. Now if you have any other issues I suggest you leave.” Nora sa
Wrong: A few moments later maps were sprawled out across the dining room table. All territories joined at the valley. Lance and Bruce’s territories were north east of the valley. Nora's eyes traced the valley. Zeke was to the west, Chadwick to the south, and Jace with Noras’s pack were south east. Silver mountain with Douglas was northwest. The council would have to travel downwards to get to them. She watched Jace go over this with Asher and Logan. He was trying to see what pack would be willing to travel north to loop around them, just in case Douglas backed out on them. They needed to cover all bases. Their voices blurred together and Nora started to feel sick. The constant nagging of this was her fault and strangled her heart. It wrapped around her lungs, choking her. She began to feel her light headed and vision blurred. She didn't want to pull Jace away from the meeting. She quietly excused herself into the kitchen. Water. Zara yelled at her. Nora nodded as she fumbled towa
Can’t: Jace’s stomach dropped to his knees. His heart sank. He was overcome with an unnerving feeling. He looked around the room confused at who was giving off these feelings. Fear hit him like a wave. His eyes darted around the room. Where was she? He could feel her pain coursing through him. He stood up from the table knocking his chair over as he began to look for her.“Nora!” He yelled not caring how he looked in front of the other members.“Nora?” Dante asked, confused.“Nora!” Jace yelled again.“Alpha! Jace what's going on?”’ Dante asked, trying to get him to focus. ‘Somethings wrong, where did she go?’ Jace said his voice coming out as angry as he headed towards the kitchen.“What do you mean something is wrong?” Dante asked him his voice trying to calm him.“Dante i fucking feel her, she hurt or something. Somethings fucking wrong! I need her now.” Jace yelled, his eyes flowing.“I’ll go towards the living room and out front.” Asher said “I’ll go check the stairs.” Dante s
