Run. Gilded Lily
Lya Last night, the big black wolf barked at my door to be let in. I sighed when I saw him, telling him I had always wanted a dog, but it seemed like this was the closest I was going to get, so he could stay. This morning, he had woken me up with a cold nose to the cheek before nosing open the sliding door to the patio and scampering out. Tala was still riding on the high of besting a pack warrior yesterday, even though I kept trying to remind her she was just a pack warrior in training. Oliver had made sure to tell me he really didn’t want me fighting just anyone again. I was barely healed, most fighters here are actually good, blah blah blah. But she was a bitch. And I would never apologize for taking up the opportunity to put a bitch in her place. I had done it before, and I would do it again. I couldn’t explain what snapped in me yesterday. I think it was more Tala that couldn’t stand the way Ellie spoke and acted, but I was still fairly certain I hadn’t done anything to des
Run. You Come First
OliverRose had mind linked me before pulling Lya aside. We had only been there for ten minutes, and she was already hearing whispers. I’d give anything to keep her tucked into my side, showing her off and introducing the pack to their Luna. My mate. The one I had been waiting ten years for. The woman I had given up hope would show up. But I wasn’t about to ruin any hope I had of Lya sticking around by throwing her in the deep end. She had been alarmingly receptive to my physical advances, and I was going to do my best not to blow it now.Adair grumbled in complaint when Lya left us, but we were never too far. We could feel it all. She was tense and nervous in a crowd of so many people she didn’t know. I silently thanked Rose for being so observant and her quick thinking. She is a tracker and a scout, though. That is what I pay her for. We heard every single time someone called her Luna and she corrected them to Lya. It made me wonder just how quickly ten minutes of selfishly keeping
Run. Halo
LyaI woke up in a tangle of sheets and a heavy weight across my side. I glanced around, expecting to see the big black wolf, but my eyes fell on Oliver instead.'Same difference,' Tala mused. 'I like the wolf, though.' The night before came crashing into me, causing me to freeze. I stared down at Oliver, trying to decide if last night was a mistake. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed every minute of it - in fact, Oliver had probably ruined the possibility of enjoying being with anyone else for me, and we had only gotten to third base. And it wasn’t like I had coerced him into anything. I’d go so far as to say he started it. It was not my responsibility to bear the guilt of him going against his supposed rule of not messing with people that had mates - we were both consenting adults for goodness sake. I, for one, had had my fair share of one night stands. Letting my guard down and just rolling with instinct would help me find my place here, right?And yet, regret still formed a knot de
Run. Hard To Say I'm Sorry
Oliver She ran. And to be honest, I didn’t know why. My name on Lya’s lips echoed through my head all the way to the training grounds. I let Adair take over for the run there. I needed the release. I wracked my head to figure out where I went wrong. Was she not as into it as I thought? Did I push too far? Why couldn’t I just kiss her and then wish her goodnight?Adair offered no words of support or encouragement in regards to Lya. He was smug and so certain he had Tala on his side, he could hardly be bothered with the human half of our mate. We crashed into the field of the training grounds, interrupting the 1st year recruits morning session. I shifted quickly, grabbed a pair of shorts from the stash of spare clothes kept on the field and marched over to the head of the field. Cody was in a nonverbal pissing or eye-fucking contest with Elise - I couldn’t tell which - and didn’t even bother looking my way until I cleared my throat. “Yes, Alpha?” he grumbled when he finally turn
Run. 7empest
Lya It was Thursday. I had successfully avoided Oliver for nearly three whole days. I had woken up to evidence a black wolf had been in my bed each night - black wolf hair is glaringly apparent against white sheets - but he was always gone by the time I woke up. I was almost certain it was Oliver’s wolf, Adair. I will say, the attempts to avoid Oliver had resulted in spending a lot of time outside of the packhouse, meaning I was able to get more familiar with the town. Rose had shown me around a few other shops in the town after coffee on Tuesday. She continued to try and help me tap into my ability to shift, but every time failed. I didn’t tell her I had shifted to run to Marjorie’s cottage. I had no idea how I had called on that, and I didn’t want to give her false hope that shifting at will was a skill I possessed. Allyssa had once again made breakfast - this time successfully - on Wednesday, then dragged me along to the school to assist with substituting for some teachers while
Run. Killing in the Name
OliverIt was 7 am, and my office was filled with my Beta, Gamma, and Luna. She didn’t know, but I didn’t care. Her presence alone created a completion to the leadership I had never known. This pack needed her as much as I did, and as much as I wanted to fiercely protect her from the darker sides of this world, the Moon Goddess had carefully selected her to help lead us through it for a reason. Adair and I were painfully aware of how carefully Lya had been avoiding us since waking up in her bed after the night of the full moon. But, oddly enough, Adair was not concerned, and I just followed his lead. I knew Adair and Tala had forged ahead on some level of the mate bond, just waiting for their human counterparts to catch up, and I couldn’t help but feel as if he had some information he was withholding from me. Keeping Lya tightly tucked under my arm, however, was proving to be a distraction, especially when the minute traces of the bond were still so new. Fingers snapping in my face
Run. Love is a Battle Field
Lya As it turned out, war strategy meetings weren’t that bad. The remainder of it had been filled with just damage control - Trevor couldn’t come back to the pack yet in fear of leading them right to the pack, and a group of warriors were being sent out to join the scouts. It went without saying that Oliver was furious. I personally felt like part of the reason Trevor was not allowed back at the pack yet was to keep Oliver from killing him for his award winning 'Hunters vs Werewolves: Battle of 2010' reenactment. I didn’t expect to be in meetings by any means, but it was kind of cool and validating to be listened to and my thoughts respected when I was the new kid on the block. Cody stuck to his word, and I was currently sitting in the Cyber Unit at the training center with the head of the department, Cody, and Rose. After identifying the people whom I knew for certain were connected to Ted in some sort of hunter capacity on my social media friends lists, we went down the rabbit hol
Run. Telling Ghosts
Oliver After the meeting, I let Adair take over. We needed a run, and to blow off some steam. I told one of the warriors on patrol to take a couple hours off, and filled in for him. Meetings like that never brought good news. The previous night when I mindlinked Cody, he had made sure to remind me that he had told me so regarding the information Lya had shared. We all knew she knew something, even if she didn’t realize she did. It was my idiotic mindset that my mate would never do me wrong that blinded me from pursuing that information. Adair growled. 'It wasn’t intentional,' he insisted. I knew he was right there. Since Tala had been more present with Lya, Adair had been able to maintain more of a connection with her. That gave us the privilege of at least getting an idea of her intentions. Adair would be able to pick up on if they were dark and sinister. Right now, he only saw innocence and misunderstanding. Something in my mind flickered and Adair perked up. He started
