Hospital: Mate. The word hit Rhett like a mac truck. Did he say it to him? Was he hallucinating? It had to be the lack of oxygen. There was no way he was talking to him. Maybe he was thinking about someone. Rhett tried to justify what just fell out of Aldric's mouth as he rushed to the car. He began panicking as Aldric lost consciousness. He needed to get to the hospital now. Did you want it to be about us? Hendrix asked. No, what are you saying? Rhett answered back as he got Aldric in the car. Listen, I can't handle your commentary right now. Rhett growled at Hendrix. Waverley was following behind and pulled open the passenger side door for Rhett. Rhett placed Aldric in the car and rushed over to the driver's side. It didn't take him long to jump in and speed off. He barely left enough time for Waverly to slide into the back seat. Waverly leaned the passenger seat back so she could keep an eye on Aldric. Rhett had sweat beaded across his forehead. He glanced over at Aldric
Stable:“Alpha.” A soft voice called him before he walked outside the door.He looked over and saw Hannah. Hannah had been a nurse at the hospital for years. She was old enough to be Rhett’s mother and he often thought of her that way. Rhett paused as she motioned for him to come over.“Let me have a look at you.” Hannah said to him.Rhett made a face but followed her into an exam room anyways. She patted the exam bed motiong for him to sit up there. Rhett sighed, plopping up onto the bed. She gathered some supplies from the cabinets.“You look like you came out of a horror movie. All the blood yours or someone else?” Hannah said coming to him.Rhett hadn't even thought about it, he looked down over the front of him and his whole chest was stained red. He could now feel the stickiness on his face.“Both. He broke my nose.” Rhett shrugged. “I can see that.” Hannah reached out and carefully planted his nose.“Your body is already trying to heal it but it's not set. You can either live
White Wolf:Rhett pulled up to where they were housing Aldric’s pack, he let out a long sigh stepping out of the car. He wasn't sure what to expect. He had felt anger from Waverly and he wondered if the rest of his pack would be angry as well. Luke seemed to be already talking to them and prepping them as he approached. Luke was letting them know that he would be there shortly to give them all an update. Rhett walked up behind Luke placing a hand on his shoulder to let him know he was there.“Is this everyone?” Rhett asked out loud, more directed to the pack then Luke.“Yes Alpha.” Luke responded.His eyes looked over the pack. It was all women, children, and eldery. No wonder they couldn't have survived another attack. All the men were gone. He felt so surprised by that. He was caught up in his thoughts as he looked over the pack. He felt bad for them.“Alpha Rhett, you came to tell us about our Alpha?” One of the elderly women asked.“Yes, during a train exercise Alpha Aldric was hu
Listen:Rhett headed back to the hospital, his stomach turning in knots as he got closer and closer. He didn't know if it was the anticipation or if he was excited. Finding one's mate was a big deal. Part of him didn't know if he was ready for that. He parked his car in the parking lot and gripped on to the steering wheel. He took a deep breath before he shut off the vehicle. He looked at the hospital building and the urge to run crept up on him. He had never run away from anything no matter the danger. This was new to him. He forced himself to walk into the hospital .The nurses looked up but didn't bother him. He remembered the instructions the nurse had said previously to him as he followed them. He turned down a hall and then walked into the critical care unit. He felt the guilt in the pit of his stomach as he walked into the unit. A nurse looked up from the nursing station and nodded to him, pointing him the way to Aldric’s room. He nodded his thanks back and walked to the room.
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
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
