Leaving Marks

I only knew who they were by scent because I didn’t bother to look in their direction. That doesn’t stop me either though as I put my claws at his stomach and slowly dig in, “Maybe you’re the one who should watch the way you talk to a Turned wolf,” my claws slip deeper and deeper but he doesn’t so much as flex his abs. “Especially when you have no information on them,” he still doesn’t move an inch the whole time as I retract my claws and scape upwards a bit. I didn’t go too deep, he’ll heal in seconds from what I’ve learned from Star.

He looks over to his pack members and his brows furrow again. His blood making a show of color on his white tshirt. I look over to his pack members as well and realize they’re stuck behind some type of invisible shield. I can’t hear them but I can see them banging on it like it’s a wall. His head snaps to mine and I back up eyes wide on him. I shake my head, so confused and the shield drops. Sound explodes with curses and then arms are on me pushing me to the floor, I didn’t fight them off.

After a long moment of silence, “Let her up,” the Alpha says. I didn’t fight the tears running down my face either. They pulled me up but didn’t let go of my arms. “Star what the fuck was that? Did we do that? Was that us?” I ask frantically. “I told you, you’re more powerful than you know,” she says. “What does that mean? You knew I could do that?” I ask. “No, but I can feel your power and strength Akira. And it explains how we escaped the cell and the other pack,” she doesn’t know much but I know she’s hiding more from me. “Akira!” The Alpha shouts, probably because his Alpha command isn’t working. “Pay attention,” he says more calmly than I expected. The men on my arms let me go. I look around and they’re bowing their heads and leaving but his Beta and Jack are trying hard to stay. Eventually they leave.

I look up at him and his arms are on my shoulders shaking me but his words aren’t registering. As a human I would disassociate when frightened. My fight or flight mode is seriously twisted now. I fight when I shouldn’t and I don’t run when I should. I’m shaking but it’s not from him this time. I hug my arms around my stomach and he cups my face and stares into my soul with those deep blue sea eyes that are never ending. I could get lost in those so easily and right now, I was. I blinked and came back to earth. “Breathe Akira, and talk to me, please,” he says. “Oh so now we’re using niceties?” I ask sarcastically but breathing heavily. He smiles but it doesn’t reach his eyes.
