Meeting:Alice’s footsteps were heavy as she walked down the hall. She could hear laughter and music being played, while people ate and drank. Why was she cursed to suffer like this? How can they be so fucking happy when they allow people to suffer like this. The red dress burned against her skin as she felt her body begging her to react. She could feel her stomach twisting and her chest caving but she isn't acknowledging it. She wanted to be completely numb. She wouldn't let that bitch see her break, she decided as she turned down the hall. At the very end the master sweet door beckoned her. She gritted her teeth, maybe he’ll kill us and we won't have to go stand on a stage like some cattle for sale. No one is killing us and no one is selling us. Drop the wine off and then we will duck out the back stairwell. We won't even go back to the kitchen. Hell, we can climb out a window. Once outside shift. You know I am faster than all those soldiers. I will get us out of here. Lenore gro
No Escape:He pushed open the pack house hall doors. He was beginning to hate that he accepted the invitation. Garold had reminded him several times that he needed to keep up with his relationships with the other packs. He should have sent him instead. Garold, being the beta of the Black Mountain Pack, stayed behind in case anything would happen. He had Skarde and Njar with him and that's all. Most Alpha’s traveled with guards and more pack members but not Arkyn. He didn't need anyone else. He himself could take down a small army, never mind the damage Skarde and Njar could inflict. He was greeted with silence, it made himself smile. The music was cut off and everyone stared at them as they entered.“Ah warm invite as always.” Skarde smirked.Njar just grunted looking out across the crowd. The grunt was quiet but it caused the crowd to shift back away from them more. Arkyn hated weak people, looking at them trying to hide. Where was the Alpha? ‘Welcome.” A voice echoed out from th
Auction:“No.” The word fell out of her mouth as a last hopeless plea.She backed away from them pinning herself against the back door. The door knob falling out of her hand. She couldn't run. They would all hunt her. Her step mother would rally the other packs to find her too. It would no longer be a celebration auction but a celebration of death. She felt the blood draining from her legs. She could out run two soldiers but not an army. She felt her legs wobble. Lenore’s solution was the only one. What if it didn't work? We can't think about that right now. Lenore growled trying to get Alice to stop being so afraid.The men grunted and looked at her in disgust as they began dragging her. Alice’s legs buckled out from under her as the two men dragged her out of the kitchen. She couldn't feel body, her mind couldn't comprehend what was happening. She was trying to fight but everything was going limp. Her fingernails dug into their arms but it didn't even phase them. They dragged her i
Pathetic:The world went soundless and became fuzzy. She began to sway back and forth. Her mind struggles between fight or flight. There wasn't an option. There was no fight or flight option. Her mind was struggling and then finally caved. She felt her legs buckle and give away behind. Everything is going in slow motion. Something was moving quickly towards her. Something strong. The world fizzled into blackness.He smirked coming out of his room. He didn't even bother stopping to leave to put his shirt on. She took off running. He loved when they ran, his wolf inside of him going crazy. He loved the chase. He wiped the blood dripping from his nose as he power walked down the hallway following her scent. Each inhale makes him want her more. Adrenaline pumping through him like he was on a hunt. Loud noises of shouting echoed out from the hall. She was smart. She ran into a crowded place. No matter what, he would find her. Walking to the hall he saw them all huddle by the stage. Everyo
Corruption:James growled fiercely. Arkyn has insulted him and his pack. He was the future Alpha; he couldn't show weakness. His jaw clenched shut and he began walking off stage. His eyes glowing as his wolf was ready to shift. Images of ripping Arkyn’s throat out, the front of his chest drenched in wine colored blood. He went to step off the stage, his claws descending out of his finger tips.“James!” Sarah shouted at his back. James stiffened up his shoulders dropping and then arching back as he turned to look at his mouth. His eyes were full of anger as he looked at his mother. He watches Arkyn walk out of the hall. He had paused for a second in the aisle as if baiting James. After Sarah called his name, Jame watched Arkyn continue walking. James could see the smug smile on his face even though he wasn't looking at him. Sarah walked quickly to James touching his forearm lightly. “James we must tread carefully right now.” Sarah said her voice lightly trying to sing that she was no
Jump:She rolled over,whatever she was laying on was beyond soft. Soft, she was used to laying on the ground. She felt her heart begin pounding in her chest, something was wrong. She woke up in a panic, jolting up right in the bed. She looked around wide-eyed and panicked, her hands in fist by her side ready to defend herself. Her chest tightening as she felt Lenore awake as well. The room she was in was dark, the only light was from a fireplace. There was not much in it. A bed and chair by the fire. She looked around relieved that she was alone. Her head was spinning; she was trying to remember exactly what happened. She sat up on the bed rubbing her head. A sharp stinging, burning feeling rushed up her arm as she grazed it. The pain made her look down. She looked at her arm, there was a bandage. A bandage, why was she bandaged..it covers…her brand. She was branded! The words screamed in her head as everything came rushing back. Escape! She needed to escape! she thought jumping to
Run: Alice took off running full force into the trees. icicles falling from the branches as she pushed through the snow. Each step she took, she sunk into it. The snow reached up to her knees as she sank into it. She grabbed onto a low hanging tree limbing trying to help herself to move forward. Maybe he broke his legs. Lenore huffed, trying to send another surge of strength to help her push forward. Alice looked back over her shoulder. He had landed neatly in the snow, like it was nothing. She blinked when she fell in the snow, it stung, it burned; it hurt! IT didn't even phase him. He wasn't acting like he jumped out of a second story window. He raised his head up from his crouched position. His eyes gray like the dark hanging sky above them, locked with hers. He stood up straight towering above the snow, his dark shadow stretched outward over it. His eyes never left her as he began to move effortlessly. "Shit." Alice said watching him move through the snow like he was walki
Hurt: Arkyn pushed forward forcing the shift, he needed to tell them. He needed them to stop. He saw the arrow going for her. The loud popping and locking of his bones filled the air along with the whistle of doom. He was standing naked now in human form watching the arrow sail through the air towards the jet black wolf. It was too late his mind screamed as he raced towards the wolf. She turned, seeing him and went to square off with him. Her teeth snarled at him as she growled ready to right. “Move!” He yelled at her but it was too late the arrow hit her in her hind leg. She let out a loud whimper as Arkyn got to her. He saw another arrow flying for her. He threw his forearm in front of her, the arrow piercing through his forearm. He whipped around looking at the guards on the wall. “Stand down!!” He bellowed out, anger vibrating the woods around them. “Alpha!” The word echoed along the wall as the guards dropped to their knees bowing. Lenore was laying on her side whimper
