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
Viper was angry as he killed the werewolf that had just injured the human. Jumping down from his ledge, he injected himself fully into the battle. He'd been enjoying watching the humans battle the creatures. They were very skilled. Firing his mini cannon, Viper picked them off one by one. He could have shifted into full Lycan form and fought them, but he had not wanted to scare the female, and his weapons were always effective. It did not take long for the room to become silent, as the deformations lay dead on the floor. Remembering that they still couldn't see him, Viper uncloaked himself. He watched as the female human’s eyes became wide, but he wasn't sure that it was with fright. Her wound was bleeding. Viper was sure it pained her. She smelled of blood and…curiosity? He looked to the other two humans in the room. They smelled of curiosity as well, and one smelled of…intrigue.He scanned the female human, making sure her injury wasn't too bad. He took a step closer to try to help
Kenzie followed her brother's gaze down the dirt road. She was afraid of this exact thing happening. Afraid of those things getting out and coming back into the town. They had just been rid of them. From the looks of those tracks, this was the mother of all wolves. This was the thing her grandfather had been looking for."We have to get back to town," Kenzie stated limping to the Jeep they had driven in. "Colby, you drive."As they all got into the jeep, Kenzie paid no attention to the big guy. She'd almost forgotten he was there until she heard a rumbling sound coming from him. She turned in his direction to see him assessing her. Well, she thought he was assessing her. Considering she could not see past the face covering her wore. It resembled a wolf, but was somehow distinctively different, and she wondered what he looked like. If his face was as different as his body compared to a human."Will, you come with us?" she questioned.He cocked his head to the side, and she knew without
