The next morning found Kenzie sitting in her living room again with Jay, while Cydney ran around playing with Rain.
"So, I'm going to start looking for a job on the ship today. When I start working, I'm going to need a baby sitter for Kenzie. I would ask Colby, but he's just going to give in to everything she asks for," Kenzie stated, knowing her brother all too well. "That leads to me asking if you would be interested in the job?"
"Sure," Jay responded. "Do you know what it is that you want to do?"
"I guess whatever is available that appeals to me. I'm not sure how many days I'll be working or for how long, but we can work out a price when I know for sure. Tentatively, does one blue nuda sound okay?"
It was equivalent to one hundred dollars in her mind but seemed to buy so much more on the ship. She thought it would be a fair price. While she wanted to work, she didn't want to be out of the house for half of the day like Viper was. So, she was hoping she
It had been two weeks since Kenzie started looking for a job, but she hadn't had any luck. Apparently, there were a lot of jobs available on the ship, but none of them were jobs that she'd be able to do for one reason or another, and it was beginning to frustrate her. She'd always been an independent person, even when she was a kid. She preferred to earn the money she needed instead of it just being given to her. So, having to rely on Viper so heavily and not being able to contribute was starting to get on her last nerve. Though she knew it shouldn't have.Viper had informed her time and again that she didn't have to worry about contributing financially to their household because she did in other ways, and she wanted to believe him. However, Kenzie had learned that the female Lycan all made their own money and took care of themselves in her time there. She wanted to be the same. She didn't want to be treated differently because she was a human, especially in a society where s
Viper rose out of the bathing pool and grabbed a cloth to dry himself. The ceremony was due to start in an hour. There would be a feast and other festivities. He had spent the last two days talking with his pater and the other maiors regarding the ceremony. He didn't feel as if he was asking for much, but of course, Sikta had to be opposed to everything he said.Viper made his way into the sleeping quarters and grabbed his celebration attire. It was made of excellent leather, and it was thick. Once he'd secured it on, he made his way to his trophy room. He'd made sure to polish his ceremonial armor the cycle before and put it on.He could hear his little mate and the pup in her room, and Viper suspected she was getting her ready. Pups outside of the ones accepted typically weren't allowed at the ceremonies, but his father had been able to have it authorized. It helped that Cydney wasn't an overactive child.Viper thought about the upcoming mating season. He usua

He made the usual welcoming and commenced a speech in honor of the celebration. Viper only half listened, instead, watching how his students seemed to be vibrating in their seats. Once Maior Hadru finished, he sat, and meals were brought to all the tables.His pater had made sure that there would be human foods such as vegetables and fruits served along with the meats.Viper watched as Kenzie pushed her plate to the side, grabbing Cydney's and cutting her strip of meat into smaller pieces. He'd notice her do that often if they ate in the dining quarters. Viper realized that it was because smaller bites were more manageable for the pup. Lycan pups, on the other hand, could ea
Kenzie hadn't meant to say it that way. She hadn't meant to let the words come out of her mouth at all until tomorrow. Wanting to allow him to bask in the celebration. However, seeing him pack and the mention of the mating season, her heart had begun to beat fast, and she felt as if her stomach had dropped.Now, Viper stood staring at her, and Kenzie found herself shifting from one foot to another as nervousness came over here as she tried to figure out how to start the conversation she hadn't been ready to have yet."Kenzie, I do not understand cheating in the way you used it," Viper told her.She wanted to groan out loud. Of course, her luck would have it that he didn't understand, and she'd have to explain it to him."Will you…sit down, please?" Kenzie questioned. When he complied, she figured she should start with what she'd meant. "Cheating, it means pursuing or sleeping with someone else.""I am not doing either of those things."
Note: Hey! I hope you enjoy this spin on a Lycan/Human romance. There will be words used in the "Lycan" language on ocassion. I will add a glossary to the top of each chapter when they are. Below you will find a list of our primary and secondary characters of this chapter with a little info about them. I'll add each secondary character (those that will get a POV) going forward as they are introduced.MainKenzi: 23, human, used to be in the arm forces before the world went to crap.Viper: Centuries old, high-ranking Lycan warrior, on his way to being an elite.Secondary:Colby: 17 soon to turn 18, human, enjoys expolosivesDaniel/Gramps: 69, human, scientist obsessed with learning and study any and everything *~~~*Colby ran down the dark corridor. Moving his head from left to right, but refusing to risk a glance back. The thing was following him; and he new it. He could hear the scraping of it's claws on the
Viper's attention was drawn by the sound of what he knew were human weapons. He had them fired at him enough to know them without fail. What he had not known was that humans were even in the facility. This would add more excitement to his hunt. He was sent to do a job but would not pass up the opportunity to entertain himself and see how the humans held there own, and why they were there in the first place.Cloaking himself, he proceeded in the direction the shots came from. Nimbly moving over the ledges. Jumping from one to another; Viper kept his eyes open for the wolves he’d been dispatched to terminate, as well. He had already killed a few but knew there were more. If only a few more. He was still miffed at the fact his pack hadn't know they were inhabiting this part of Earth. That their presence was only recently detected.Another two shots from human weapons. This time closer. Viper moved swiftly and quietly. Off in the distance light danced dimly. He had yet to make his way to
Glossary: Futuo = fuckKenzie swiveled around to see the now dead and in pieces, wolf. She turned, looking in the direction the purple light had come from. She grabbed the flashlight Colby had, shining it over the ledges. Upon her inspection she thought she saw something shimmering. Going back, she found nothing, but Kenzie knew something was there. She stared unblinking for a moment at the spot."What was that?" Colby's question drew his sister's attention."I don't know, and we shouldn't stick around to find out," Kenzie told him."Finish reloading your weapons and let's move on," Daniel stated.Kenzie rolled her eyes. That was not what she had in mind. She was thinking more along the lines of getting the hell out of there. She agreed with Colby. They should just blow the damn place up regardless of what could have been housed there. In Kenzie's mind, there was a new player in this game. A player, she decided, was something rather than someone. Someone would n0t still be lurking in
Kenzie pushed herself faster. She had been right. After her grandfather had gotten all the samples he could, they continued on and ran into a group of werewolves. They were able to get a running head start, but the ugly creatures were quick on their tails. Now as she entered this room filled with those slimy-looking things, she could not help but curse under her breath. She saw a doorway on the other side of the room. The last place she wanted to be taking these things on was in a room with their offspring that could also invade her body. Kenzie skidded to a halt when she saw two more wolves appear in the doorway she was heading for. Those ugly sons-a-bitches had trapped them.Kenzie grabbed her m16, finger on the trigger. She felt her brother press his back to hers. Out of the corner of her eye she could see her grandfather looking around for another way out. Kenzie took a deep breath. She did not want to die, but it was possible that this time, she would not make it out of here aliv
