Trap:Mason slammed the gas pedal into the floor of the car. His grip tightened on the steering wheel as his eyes narrowed in on the gate. They were so close. He glanced in the rearview mirror trying to get a glimpse of Samuel. As he was looking in the back he was suddenly blinded by lights. Mason's head hit the side of the driver’s window. The airbag smashing him in the face. He heard Laura let out a yell as he tried to figure out what was happening. Mason ping pong off the driver side door as the car slammed into a tree. Headlights from another vehicle peered into the car blinding them. Mason felt warm liquid running down the side of his face. His wolf pushed forward trying to help clear the cloudiness of the situation. Mason’s claws descended and he popped the air bag. The ring in his ears was making it hard to focus.“Laura.” He choked out as the smoke from the air bag filled his lungs.“Mason.” she said from the back seat.Mason tried to open his door but he couldn't. He realized
Ambush:“I don't think he has much longer.” Laura shouted to Mason in the front seat.The side was crushed in and he could barely move in the front seat. He pushed the seat back trying to give himself room. The only way he could think of getting out was through the windshield. He leaned the seat back, placing his feet against the windshield. He pulled on his wolf for strength. He drew his knees up to his chest and then slammed up into the windshield. It didn't budge. His eyes glowed as he drew more strength. He repeated it again, this time a crack surfaced. He shut his eyes and drew back. He let out a loud growl as he slammed into the windshield again. The glass crystalized across the windshield. He sat forward getting up and kneeling on the seat to get closer to the windshield. He pressed into pushing the glass forwarded. The glass fell forward onto the hood of the SUV breaking into pieces. A rush of excitement went through him as he pulled himself through the windshield. The glass
Lure: Waverly walked into the clearing, her guard but you wouldn't notice by the way she walked. Getting into the clearing, she saw a strawberry blond hair woman laying in the center. Waverly walked over to her kneeling. Still keeping and eye on her surroundings she check her vitals. She was breathing good and her pulse was strong. She was just unconscious. She was surprised no one had come out yet. She bent down like she was going to pick up Laura when she heard a branch snap. It came from her left, it sounded as if someone was inching close and stepped on it. She ignored acting like she didnt hear it. She picked Laura’s arm going to loop it over her shoulder, when a tall man came out of the clearing. “A woman….well I was hoping to lure an actual team of men to be here but now I'll just have two damsels.” He said quietly walking to Waverly. “Just let me take my friend and go.” Waverly said quietly. “Go…Go! You're not going anywhere.” He laughed, shaking his head. “You might as
Tricked: Aldric shifted in the hospital bed. He was annoyed that he wasn't able to go help. He ran his hand carefully down his side, finding the tube. Part of him wanted to rip it out. He was almost sure that if it came out he would be back to normal quickly. The nurse came in with a new Iv set up and he growled at her. She backed slowly out of the room. He wanted to be out of there as soon as possible. “Waverly.” He mindlinked her it had been at least an hour. “Winter.” Waverly’s wolf responded to the mindlink. “What happened?” Ashers said sitting up in the hospital bed hearing Winter respond instead of Waverly. “Girl was taken, Set up as an ambush. The girl is fine walking back to pack with Rhett.” Winter responded to him. “Everything secured now?” Aldric said, ignoring the burning feeling in his side. “Yes Alpha, as far as i can tell.” Winter linked back. A scream flooded through the hospital. Aldric stood shaky placing his feet on the ground. He heard a growl echo down t
Loss:Rhett had sent Winter away after hours of her pacing in the hospital room. She gripped about it but they both did not need to be there. She also needed to give control back to Waverly. Aldric had been sleeping for about three hours now. Everytime he let out a noise or moved slightly, Rhett found himself jumping up. He let out a long sigh as he jumped up for the fifth time in the last hour. He really needed to stop making so much noise. He grumbled to himself. A nurse came in to check his vitals, she was younger and fragile looking. Aldric really wanted him to train someone like her. Someone who could probably be broken in half. What if she got to thinking she could actually do something to someone with training. She could risk her life trying to be brave because of it. Rhett let out a grunt thinking about it. The nurse’s eyes flickered to him wondering what the noise was about.“He’s very brave.” She said softly. “Hmm?” Rhett asked, not sure what she was talking about.“The Alp
Shut up: Rhett stood up. He looked down at Aldric almost debating with himself about leave. He had to go be the Alpha. He needed to let Samuels family know he didn't make it. They didn't even know he had returned from the mission or that it had gone south. He knew that they knew every time he left there was a risk but this mission was supposed to be easy. He sighed deeply, something keeping his feet glued to the spot on the floor next to Aldric’s bedside. This man had entered his life suddenly and for the first time in his life he was confused. He let out a long sigh. He wished he could mindlink Waverly and have her come here but after the car wreck battle he knew she needed rest. “Luke?” Rhett mindlinked him, something was telling him not to leave Aldric alone. He didn't know what but something in the pit of his stomach was making him upset about leaving him. These emotions were getting to be too much lately. Maybe Mom was right? He thought smirking at the fact his brain had just c
Opportunity: Natalie watched Rhett leave. She looked around quickly. No one was going into the room with him. This was her opportunity. She didn't have the medication ready. It was a controlled substance and it was locked up. She needed something that would stop his heart. Something subtle. She wasn't prepared. Wolfsbane injected would kill him almost instant but she didn't have any made up in liquid form right now. She rushed down the hall heading to the controlled room. It seemed like it was taking forever. She turned down one hall, trying to walk fast but nonchalantly so she would not draw any attention to her. Seeing the door and no one around she let out the breath she had been holding in. Everything was logged and counted for. She would have to be smart about this. She walked calmly into the controlled room. She was debating on breaking the lock off so it would be like someone broke in and stole it. She was trying to think of a way to link it to the rogue attacks. That was goi
Sorry: Rhett got to Samuel’s home and he felt his heart drop. He hated this part of his job. He didn't have to do it often but when he did, it hurt. He took a deep breath getting out of his car, his stomach twisted, he felt nauseous. He was about to tell a mother her son wasn’t coming home. His chest tightened. He walked up the concert steps, each step he took felt like it weighed a hundred pounds. He told himself he needed to stop feeling and be an Alpha. He reached the door and he let out a long breath trying to clear the heaviness in his chest. He brought his arm up and knocked on the door. The sound of his knuckles bouncing off the wound echoed loudly. Seconds later an older woman opened the door. The same deep dark brown curls and blue eyes of samuels looked back at him. “Alpha? You honor us with your visit. Please come in.” Julie said, opening the door for Rhett to come in. “Miles, bring the Alpha something to drink.” Julie yelled into her home. “We can go sit in the li
Forever: “He’s not waking up.” Rhett’s voice cracked as he stared at Aldric, his eyes for a brief moment flickering to Luke before looking back at Aldric. “It says wolf baine ash reverse wolfe bane. I don't know.” Luke said, his voice a little defeated. “Maybe it wasn’t enough, maybe it has to equal out what she gave him. He drank it so it was liquid. I'll just do it again.” Luke said the words falling out of his mouth in a hurry. ‘You need to wake up.” Rhett said, putting his hand on Aldric’s chest. “He’’l wake up, we will figure this out.” Luke said firmly and began flipping through Satine’s book at the same time as throwing more wolfsbane into the bowl. He felt a warmth coming from his hand as he touched Aldric. He remembered a time before when he was hurt and Aldric healed him. He said something about fated mates. Aldric placed both hands on Aldric’s chest and closed his eyes, focusing on healing thoughts. He pretends he is pulling the poison out of Aldric’s body with his h
RitualSatine watched his body twitch as she glanced nervously at the sky light. The moonlight was touching the outer rim. She could see it starting to trickle in through it. Any minute now she would be able to complete the ritual. The moon light was tinted a blood red representing the blood moon. Aldric had begun to act aggressively, his body twitching and flexing like he was trying to fight something. His skin sizzled against the wolf bane soaked ropes holding him in place. Satine's stomach curled into itself as she began fidgeting in her spot, her brain trying to come up with what she would do if he woke up. She was nervous that the wolf bane ropes wouldn't hold him. The liquid should have kept him completely under and separate from his wolf. She watched as his wolf claws emerged from the tips of his fingers. Her mind yelling no, his fangs began to descend how was this happening. Then all at once his body slumped as if something had happened. She watched his body respond like a su
Hollow Ache: Satine was pacing nervously across the basement floor waiting for Bronx to come back. She needs more Wolfs bane to ensure if he did wake up he wouldn't be coming up fighting. He was taking far too long; she was going to have to speed this up. She grabbed the vials of liquid wolfsbane and mistletoe and brought it over to Aldric. Satine debated for a second how she was going to do this as she watched his chest rise and fall. She leaned over him and pinched his nose shut. She waited several seconds which felt like minutes and finally his mouth fell open. Easy enough she thought. She unplugged the amber vital and began to slowly pour the liquid into his mouth. Lucky for her his body reacted and began swallowing. She could hear the sizzle of it as it hit his tongue. She cringed thinking of what the liquid must be doing to his insides as it made his way down to his stomach. He still didn't react . He was completely numb and in a coma state still. It was the most confusing
Rejection:The pain was overwhelming, it was almost making hsi vision blur. He reached for the door, his hand shaking as every small touch of his skin felt like needles piercing it. Even the night breeze stung. He grabbed the door handle wincing as he turned the knob forcing the door open and stepping into the house. “Luke!” Rhett’s voice yelled up the stairs, he was doubling over as pain coursed through his body. Rhett almost crashed to the floor as he screamed Luke’s name. He made his way over the railing of the stairwell and hung on for life. Waverly was about to say something snarky but she realized quickly that Rhett was in pain. Luke got up off the ground quickly and almost tripped hurrying down the stairs. Rhett was doubled over grabbing a hold of the stairs railing. ‘What? What’s going?'' Luke said, rushing to his side.“I don't there’s pains everywhere. My wrist, my ankles, my whole body is burning like acid.” Rhett said confused and in pain. Another wave of pain hit Rhe
Hurt:“Cabin.” was the only thing Rhett said the whole ride back. Luke kept looking over at him. How he was remaining completely calm and still worried about Luke. He hadn't even begun to think about what Waverly was doing.Waverly. Shit he thought the world was falling apart all around him and there was only one of him. He glanced back over to Rhett who then let out an annoyed side.``What are you waiting for me to explode?” Rhett asked him, annoyed.“Maybe..honestly i am surprised you didn't wolf out and let Hendrix go all claws and fangs….i am saying it as your best friend so don't go all claws and teeth on me k.” Luke said, making a defensive face at Rhett.Rhett let out a long sigh as he pressed his head against the window. Luke was right to worry. He was worried most of the time with Hendrix’s recent mood swings.“Hendrix is ….implusives sometimes especially when it comes to Aldric. But I can reason with him. For the most part.” Rhett said quietly.Luke nodded in silence filli
Preparation:The darkness was calming. It was comforting, there was nothing there, no pain, no problems. I was empty and the emptiness calmed him. He wasn't a stranger to this place. He had spent years in and out of the darkness. Day and nights when the cell he was kept in became too much, when xyler couldn't handle another blow. It was Aldric who normally sent them here, Xyler was always ready to fight. He was never the one who made them go into the darkness. He could feel him detached from him. He was there in the darkness but blocking their connection. It was usually the other way around. He remembered a night when he wanted to let it all go. He shut down and let himself slip in the blackness and hid there so well that Xyler couldn't find him. He remembered hearing his howls echo around the silence. It was days before Xyler found him. He remembered how Xyler buried his head into him, begging for Aldric not to give up. To try once more. Aldric let out a breath he knew he was going
Fracture:Aldric was still shaking long after Luke and Rhett left. He felt like he had just cut out a piece of himself. The hole he was feeling from being disconnected from Rhett was eating away at him. Not being connected to a pack was strangely numbing, and the look Waverly gave him before she left. The hurt in her eyes, the anger and hate completely shattered him. He was staring at the counter top of Satine’s kitchen. Xyler whimpering and howling inside of him was pushing him over the edge. “What did i do?”Aldric hadnt meant for it to be outloud but it slipped out in the smallest whispered“You stood up for yourself.” Satine said softly to him.“That's what I did?” Aldric said snorting some air out of his nose as he spoke.“Aldric you had to, otherwise you might as well be a prisoner. He does not treat you as a mate but more like an object.” Satine said quietly. Aldric growled in response to the way she spoke about Rhett. Yes he was being a complete ass and obsessive but he didn
Renounce: Xyler whimpers inside of Aldric wanting to go to Rhett. He was like some puppy that was so upset that Rhett was mad with him. He wanted to duck his head and cower with the amount of power and anger coming off of Rhett. Aldric watched Rhett’s chest rise and fall, his body tense as he stared at Aldric with betrayal. “Rhett.” Aldric said, finally forcing the word out of his mouth that had gone completely dry. “Don't Rhett me. Want to start explaining!” Rhett growled his eyes glowing, Hendrix was on the verge of pushing the shift, Rhett was fighting him back. “I-.” Aldric started to say but heard Satine let out a slow breath followed by her voice. “Evening Rhett. I am Satine Alpha of the RedWood pack. “ Satine said from the doorway of the kitchen, half in and half out of it. “I honestly dont give a fuck who you are. Aldric you better say something. For fuck sake your completely naked.” Rhett growled, his body beginning to twitch a little, he held up Aldric’s crushed cell
Mistake:Luke’s tires came screeching to a halt in front of the gate. The tires left a long black streak on the pavement. Smoke coming up around the tires. Rhett had already hopped out of the truck as soon as the gate was in sight Rhett.“Damn it.” Luke grumbled under his breath as he watched Rhett nearly run to the guard shack.Rhett took long strides marching up to the guard shack. He felt like he wasn't in control of his body. Rhett's heart was pounding so loud in his chest he could feel the vibrations of it in his ears. Jaw clenched shut he pounded on the guard door. The guard slowly opened the door as if he was scared and looked at his Alpha. “Phone, now.” Rhett said bitterly. “Yes Alpha. Here.” The man said, fumbling the phone in his hand, the waves of intense emotions coming off of Rhett was making him nervous. Rhett growled as he waited for him to quit fumbling the phone around. Rhett snatched it from his hand. He took a step out of the guard shack, staring down at the ph
