I woke up sore and squished against a naked man. I groaned loudly trying to get out of Brody’s death grip. “Brody” I complained, my face pressed against his solid chest. Brody moaned in his sleep and nuzzled close into me. “Brody” I yelled louder and his eyes shot up. He sat up instantly, his eyes running over the area for any sign of danger.“What? What’s wrong?” Brody shouted; his eyes full of worry. I giggled at him, happy his hands released me from their tight grip.“Sorry” I chuckled, “you were squishing me. I’m sorry”. There was a pause as Brody fully woke himself up before he turned back to me.“Sorry Baby” he muttered – through a yawn – before he pulled me back to his side. “I love you” he mumbled as he pecked my forehead. “You look beautiful right now”.“Sure I do” I said in a sarcastic tone, rolling my eyes as I tried to move away from him to go to the bathroom. Brody held onto me tighter with a playful growl of warning.“You look amazing. You’re all sweaty and hot” he growl
There was a long moment of stillness between Brody and I. I stayed sitting on the bathroom floor and he stayed standing in front of the basin; positive pregnancy test in hand. Brody was the first one to break the silence. “Are you crying because you’re unhappy?” he asked me, slight pain in his eyes.“What? No” I exclaimed, jumping to my feet. “I’m crying because I’m scared Brody. I’m so scared” I told him, my bottom lip quivering as I fought back another swarm of tears.“But you are happy?” he asked, making no attempt to move forward towards me; so I stood still, wrapping my arms around myself.“I want your child Brody, I do. But I’m just scared I’m going to fuck it up. I don’t know the first thing about being a mother, and you don’t know the first thing about being a father. I’m worried that we – mostly I – are going to fuck the baby up…just like my parents did to me and my brothers”.Brody placed the test back into the sink and took a step forward. He stopped in front of me – I quic
Brody returned a few minutes later wearing a black suit. His eyes zoned in on me, his eyes going up and down my exposed body. Unlike a few months before I didn’t squirm away out of his gaze. I still wasn’t comfortable with his outright staring, but I was getting better – he was making me more confident in my own skin. Brody cleared his throat and looked away. “As much as I really don’t want to leave you here, when you’re naked, but I was an hour late for the meeting yesterday. I can’t be late again” he sighed before bending down next to the bathtub. “You look after yourself and our pup”. He kissed me quickly before standing up and leaving. Once I finished in the bath, I got out and changed quickly. “Alli?” I heard a familiar voice from downstairs. I smiled as I bounded downstairs to find a group of people inspecting the broken tables and chairs in the lounge. Mason, Corey, Jessica and Dylan were all waiting for me. “Hey” I smiled at me. “Finally we’ve been here forever” Jessica exc
I crossed my arms and pouted my lips childishly. He sighed at me as I shook my head, telling him that I refuse to get out of the car. My brother sighed and ran a hand down his face. "Please don't make this harder than it needs to be" he whined."I refuse to exit said vehicle without a full, thought-out, apology" I stated glaring at my brother."I am sorry" my brother sighed."For what?" I promoted him. He growled in annoyance, a feral and animalistic noise. He was trying to intimidate me, it didn't work."I am sorry for breaking your record player" he mumbled grumpily."And .. ""And for dropping the plate in the restaurant and blaming it on you" he added through gritted teeth, his eyes darkening in anger."Thank you for apologising" I smiled genuinely at him, I leant across to his seat and kissed his cheek softly. He instantly soften at my affection, despite his moods I was always his weakness."Right, come on, it is our first day," he said before he pulled me out of the car. He lock
I didn't meet anyone's eyes as I quickly changed into my gym clothing and shoes. I had worked out, by their scents, that in the changing room there were three female wolves with me. I could feel their eyes burning holes in my back. I tried to steady my racing heart as I turned to meet their looks."Got a good enough look yet?" I huffed, my wolf getting riled up for a fight. She was ready to taste blood."You have no right here rouge" one of the girls hissed, her hair so blonde it looked almost white and eyes a dull grey."I have every right that you do" I replied, crossing my arms over my chest and sticking one of my hips out."Our Alpha may not own this territory, but our packs treat this land like our own. We wouldn't tolerate rouges here" another girl growled, her face turning as red as her hair."Leave now and we'll let you live" the third wolf said, her blonde hair pulled into a tight bun. I sensed that she was the strongest of the three wolves, but she still had nothing on me or
I shifted into my large wolf, my coat a light brown almost red colour and my eyes a dark black. My wolf was bigger than the average she-wolf, just like Mason's wolf was bigger than the average male wolf. Mason's wolf was the same colour as mine, but his was a lot bigger and bulkier than mine. My wolf was a lot more streamline and delicate.I collected my jeans and shirt in my mouth and jogged out from behind the tree, Mason close behind me. The Alpha, Brody, had also shifted; his wolf was a dark black and was a close size to Mason's.Brody ran over to me and growled, his eyes wondering over my wolf in happiness. He rubbed his head against my neck and I growled in response; a happy, cheerful growl. Mason rushed over and pushed Brody away from me. He stood in front of me, blocking Brody from me. Brody growled at him in anger, Mason returned the growl.Boys, I thought to myself before I rolled my eyes and pushed Mason's side with my head. He got the idea and gestured, with his head, for
I woke up and stifled a yawn. I heard a groan next to me and turned to see Mason stirring from his sleep. We still hadn't finished unpacking, so we were sharing a mattress on the floor. "Good morning starshine the earth says hello" I quoted to him. He gave me a look, Mason wasn't a morning person."I hate you" he grumbled and I chuckled."Well I was going to make you pancakes for breakfast, but now ... " I trailed off and his eyes shot open."Love you" he said cuddling up to me."Uh huh" I rolled my eyes at him before I got up. I changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, I wasn't exactly the type of person to dress up. I whipped you some pancaked before physically kicking Mason off the mattress. He swore at me for a continuous two minutes before he saw the breakfast and shut up."You know there were pack wolves stalking our apartment last night don't you?" Mason asked between mouthfuls. "Your stupid Alpha boyfriend had them watching you, as if I can't look after you just fine by my
As we ate I noticed someone waving at me. I squinted to see a small brunette rushing over to our table. "Hey Marissa" I greeted her as she sat down on our table."Hi Luna" she smiled at me."You can call me Alli you know" I informed her."Well in that case, hi Alli"."Sorry, who are you?" Mason blurted rudely, I kicked him under the table for being so rude. He glared at me but stayed silent before turning back to watch Marissa closely."Brody's sister ... we met yesterday" she said trying to remind him. He gave her a blank stare, not recalling her face at all. "You and my brother were having a tug of war over the Luna and I pulled her away," she prompted."Alli" I corrected her quickly."Oh right yeah sure" Mason shrugged, I could tell he didn't really care. Lunch seemed to drag, most Marissa talked and everyone listened. Mason and I felt the most uncomfortable, both of us not used to being around other wolves. We were used to the rouge lifestyle, and the rouge lifestyle was used to
