Want:

Rhett decided sitting down would be best. Everytime he tried to wait standing up he would begin pacing. He was on his fifth glass of bourbon and it wasn’t helping. He needed to focus on something to take his mind off while he waited. He looked over the map Luke had out. He had marked off possible areas he thought would be vulnerable. Luke’s words of they would need more men to cover each area well, echoed in his mind. How was he going to get more people?

The office door opens slowly. Before he could even look up to see who it was he knew. Aldric’s scent hit him. An intense rush swept over him, he shut his eyes tightly as he waited for it to pass. He felt like the world swayed but it could be the bourbon hitting him.

“Are you stupid?” Aldric asked, shutting the door.

Rhett’s eyes snapped out as he glared across the room at Aldric. Who the fuck did he think he was? A small growl lingered in the back of his throat.

“I could ask you the same thing.” Rhett growled back at him.

    After: Waverly stood at the hole in the fence. She looked out into the darkness wondering why he just built a normal fence on this side instead of a reinforced one. She studied the sides of the fence; it had definitely been cut. She sighed, touching the sharp edges. She knew in her gut that this is where it would all start. One single attack would lead to what would feel like hundreds. She prayed Rhett would listen. Something stirred out in the darkness or at least that's what her body was telling her. Her hair on her arms and the back of her neck were standing on its ends. She felt Winter pull on her wanting her to shift. Winter wanted to protect them. Waverly ignored the pull. She squinted, peering into the darkness. She grabbed a hold of the sharp metal fencing leaning into the darkness. She stepped forward with her foot just crossing the threshold. She was trying to see but felt safer as long as one foot was still one safe territory, Something was out there. Something was wat

    Stop: Rhett leaned back in his chair sighing. He rubbed his face propping his feet up on his desk. He was absolutely exhausted. Physically and mentally. He felt his eyes growing heavy and he closed them for a second. He needed sleep. Just when he thought it was going to rest for a second the door to his office kicked open. Rhett sat up not sure who would dare enter his office in such a manner. As quickly as the door was opened it slammed shut. Aldric stood in his office. Rhett stood up and said he couldn't do this again. He went to yell at him but was taken back. Aldric stood in the doorway shirtless. Rhett’s eyes traveled down his defined pecs and chiseled abs. He felt his hand twitched wanting to run his fingers across them. Aldric’s pants were hanging extra low on his waist revailing V- shape lines that were like arrows pointing to his bulge that he could see even with his jeans on. “What? Why are you back here?” Rhett asked, trying to become angry as he rounded the desk. Aldr

    Join or go: Rhett got to the hall ahead of time. He was pacing back and forth down the walk way. The hall was a simple, large stage like area in the front where the higher ranking wolves sat. A chair for him and his beta or if he had a luna. Rhett sat dead center. Then there were tables and chairs about the hall for the rest of the pack. Rhett was walking down the middle of it. Trying to go over in his mind what he was going to say. “Thank you all for coming, with the late attack we are going to have made a few changes. A curfew will be put into place just to ensure everyone's safety. A team will be working on electrifying the fence and last we will be asking Al…Aldric’s pack to join us.” He said, stumbling over his name. You're going to hurt him. Hendrix said coming back. I thought we were not speaking. Rhett replied. You're going to ask him to renounce his title…why? Hendrix growled. Cause i can't do this anymore. Rhett said defeated. Then accept him. The moon goddess says i

    Dismantled: “If you want my help you will need to renounce your title as Alpha and swear your loyalty to me and my pack.” Alpha Rhett said his stare was cold and icy as he looked at Alpha Aldric. “It’s the only way this is going to work.” Rhett added. Rhett’s own pack around them couldn't believe what was happening. He was forcing Aldric’s hand and he knew he was but he had to. It may not be what’s right but it was what was best for his pack. That was all that mattered. Keeping his pack safe. The hall filled with silence. It was like everyone was holding their breaths watching and waiting for Aldric’s response. Alpha Aldric gritted his teeth. He wouldn't let his pack suffer anymore, he couldn't keep them safe. Their numbers had shrunk to almost nothing. Aldric felt his hand shaking as he looked around at his panic. Horror filled their eyes. They were still so faithful to him even after everything they had gone through. “It's the only way I can help protect your pack moving forward

    Silent: Rhett had watched Aldric settle quietly into a table of his pack. They all kept glancing at him but he was like a stone statue. The rest of Rhett’s pack went about their business. It was awkward but the food came out and people began slowly chit chatting and eating. “Alpha?” Luke said shifting in his chair, his eyes watching the pain on Waverly’s face. “Beta?” Rhett answered back, watching the mixed feelings of the pack. “Can I speak to you as a friend?” Luke whispered. “Go ahead Luke.” Rhett sighed waiting for whatever it was Luke was about to say. “What the hell was that?” Luke whispered. “What do you mean?” Rhett asked, trying not to get angry with Luke. “The whole power trip you just did.” Luke blurted out. Rhett shut his eyes and out a sharp sign. He dug his fingernails into the chair. Luke was sounding like Hendrix and he had just about enough of this nonsense. He opened his eyes and glared at Luke. Luke shifted away in his chair. “It was what was best for the

    Fire: Aldric got up before the sun rose. He quietly walked through his now permenit home. He still held mixed feelings about what happened last night. He knew he did the right thing but felt empty about it. He needed to push that aside, if he showed what he was feeling the pack may think they could still be a pack and leave Rhett. Out there in the world right now lone wolves died pretty quickly. Packs that were small in numbers died. He couldn't let that happen no matter what the cost was. He was going to partake in Rhett’s pack, be a contributing member and then maybe one day ditch this place and have his own pack again. He may be nothing right now but he had Alpha blood running through his veins and he told himself that he would be an Alpha again no matter what. He was going to stay away from Rhett. He didn't need to be tempting that fate anymore. It was clear what Rhett wanted and he had made his mind up. Aldric made it to the front door stretching slightly. He had about an hour

    Groundwork: Rhett stared at the white wolf disappearing into the woods dumbfounded. Was he wrong? Waverly came up beside him confused. She followed his sight and saw him watching Aldric. She made a face, Rhett was a fool. Why couldn't he see what even she could? She almost hated him for putting Aldric through all of this “Do we know what happened?” She asked, trying to get his attention. ‘What? What are you looking at?” Waverly asked him confused, looking over their shoulder. ‘White wolf…i thought you….no we don't know how the fire started i am going to look around. See if you can get someone to turn off the alarm. The people tending to the fields should be here soon.” Rhett said, pulling himself together. “White wolf..Aldric?” Waverly asked, confused. “Yes i didnt know his wolf was white. That's all.” Rhett said, shrugging his shoulders trying to make it seem like no big deal. “Yes, Xyler is white, white as snow.” Waverly answered, she paused looking at him. “Why does it matt

    Seeds of Doubt: Aldric sat on the granite top counter in the kitchen. He was wrapping his feet. The blisters were going quickly down and he was healing. He just didn't have time to wait for everything to be completely healed. He was going to wrap his feet and go back to work. He wasn't sure if he wanted to go help with the fence line, train the women or go back to the crop field. A soft knock came from the front door. Aldric frowned because he didn't want company and secondly he didn't feel like going to get it. He groaned as he tried to put pressure on his feet. He could feel the blisters cracking and leaking. He braced himself against the counter pulling himself back up onto it, letting his feet dangle. ”Come in.” He yelled frustrated from the kitchen. “Hello?” A voice he didn't know echoed throughout the house. “Hello?” Aldric called back, confused at who would be coming to his house. A young girl with dark chocolate brown hair and eyes as dark as coal walked in. She smiled s

    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
