JadeIt pinched me and got out the sad memories I wanted buried. My mind was not at rest.“What is it?” he asked.“I don’t know.”“You can’t tell me you don’t know. There has to be something up with you to be acting like this.”“If you’re such a genius then figure it out yourself!” I yelled to my feet, going away from him as he ran after me to hold my hand.“I’m trying to help you here but I can’t do anything if you won’t tell me what the problem is!” he yelled back. “I can’t do anything but I want to. I got you out here so we’d have a good time and relax. “Maybe take a few drinks here and there, make new friends with the humans. Anything is better than being mad at me for something I know nothing about.”“My kids, Conan! My kids! While I’m out here having fun, the moon goddess is the only one who knows what they might be going through.”He opened his mouth to say something before deciding against it. There was nothing he could say against me so he kept quiet. “I’m hurt,” I went on
TrinaReaching home had me feeling sick as the hopes and dreams of having a child came back to me. I had failed to meet that expectation so what was the point of me being back here?Taking myself out of the car, I rejected getting into the wheelchair brought for me as I walked up the stairs to my room.The house bustled with so many maids running about to make sure everything was spotless but I didn’t care.All I wanted was to be in my bed and when I would have gotten myself I would be on my way out of the pack.I had made new reservations with a hotel in a different city. I was going to be there until my heart would heal from the pain of losing a child.The sound of his car revving in the driveway had me crying. I was getting hints about his shenanigans. Would I confront him about it? No. There was no need to.I would allow us to be the peaceful couple we were to the pack. I had so many benefits being a Luna and it came with so much respect. At least I was out of my parents clutches
Jade“Let’s do another one!” the bartender yelled. “What has two feet and hops but can’t walk straight?”“Kangaroo!” I yelled.“Chicken with disabilities!” yelled Conan as I laughed.“That’s not a thing.”“Yes it is. I’ve seen one back at the pack. It was a funny sight. Little fella couldn’t walk.”We argued on and on about the answer and I won again.For almost two hours after the bartender had led us away from the beach, we had been in the bar playing a game of question and answer. It had been nice having to stay with someone that wasn't a werewolf but was an ordinary human.I learned new things about his culture and his life during the game.People came and watched us playing. Some joined and left while some stayed but got drunk and slept off. We on the other hand stayed for hours playing.The man got tired as he laid in his seat laughing and banging the table between us.“I’m glad I bumped into you guys,” he sniffed while cleaning his eyes from the tears he had been holding back.
JadeI looked at Conan who had an indifferent look on his face.“Didn’t you two hear me?!” the human said to his feet brandishing a local sword. “I said give me your money or…”“We heard you the first time,” Conan sighed. “You’re giving me a headache with your screams.”The man laughed while looking at his men who did the same.“I like this guy,” said the man. “You think you can come into these parts and not pay my tax?”“Do you work for the government?” I asked.“I am the government around these parts!”I nodded to Conan. “He’s not the government.”“No he’s not,” said the werewolf.“Enough with this nonsense,” the man said pointing to us. “Kill them and let’s use their heads as skulls.”“We don’t want any trouble,” I heard my own voice come out in a lighter tone than I had intended. “Just let us go and no one gets hurt.”They all laughed again pointing to me.“You want to hurt us?” the leader laughed. “Look around you sweetheart. This isn’t the palace or candy land. You’re in the all
Jade“I support you,” he said. “You really should leave. I don’t like him being around you.”“He’s a jerk.”“I’ve asked you this many times but haven’t gotten a reply. What plan do you have in place to take him out? We need a good one.”Before a solution could be brought up, his phone rang which was from the alpha.“Speak of the devil,” he said, walking away to take the call.I stood in my stead looking around the fields with my arms crossed. “He wants us back,” he said when he was done with the call.“What do you mean?”“Something happened in the pack.”“So…”“He knows you’re with me.”“How?”“He’s the alpha, you don’t expect us to be in the pack together and not be spied upon. Let’s get back so we’d be done with whatever he wants and be on our way out of there.”I nodded.Our drive back home was silent as expected. I dreaded going back to see his face. Why did the kindpaper have to be so cruel?There were other things he could have asked me to do instead of going back to Brad.That
ConanJust as I reached the mountain side, I dug my claws into it, stopping our momentum.A ledge stood a few meters away from us, it was large enough to hold two people but no more. I could drop her there and go to rescue the others.Another explosion was heard causing me to know that we were under attack.“Are you okay?” I asked her while climbing up the side of the mountain to the ledge. I dropped her there and jumped off the ledge heading to the ice below.Quick on my calculation, I knew from this height, I would crack through the ice. I looked to the side of the mountain while descending. Extending my claws, I slowed my fall by sticking my claws into the mountain, before I got to the ice, I pushed myself forward, zipping through the broken ice.Some of the wolves had trouble swimming since they were latched onto the heavy equipment they had on.More and more explosions were heard and I found these to be from the soldiers. They were being shot by something.Tracing the sources of
ConanWe set up camp and waited to be attacked by the rogues. Fires were built inside the tents and those who had been in the icy water were inside taking in the heat.I on the other hand stayed with Jade in a different tent as she watched the fire burn.She had woken from the explosion with a mild headache and I was glad that was all. Her healing factor had kicked in already which had saved her from succumbing to her injuries.“You seem worried,” she smiled.“That’s because we are stuck in the middle of nowhere and I have seen so many of our people die,” I responded. “I watched a man get trapped within the ice. Before I could break the ice, there was an explosion and it killed him instantly.”“What are you going to do when you find the rogues?”“Rip out their throats and toss them to the polar bears in this region.”“Or we could give them a benefit of the doubt and…”“I am not a peacemaker. I never was and I will never be one. If you had died I would have lost it. They shot an explos
Conan“I suggest we go round the back,” I said pointing to the sloppy side of the ice. “We would use our speed to run…”“Sorry to cut you off,” V interrupted. “But we are dust wolves. This is ice. We can’t run at full speed without slipping. They would use this to their advantage.”“Do you have a better idea?”“We should stop running and walk to the mountain. We would save our speed and strength and catch their weapons which we can see in slow motion. That was what I did and I saved my people. Not all of them but I saved the ones I could save.”I nodded. He was right, even though I did not agree with his opinion. This would make us very easy targets. We could be picked off like chickens. Their snipers could use guns with faster bullets against us.“You seem to disagree,” he noted.“I’m not a fan of getting shot,” I said. “We do have wolfsbane bombs which we can use on them.”“I doubt they know what that is. This is ice, and they have been here for years. I’m sure their bodies have cr
