Ace stood leaning against a dark SUV waiting impatiently for Mj as Moxie and Jay remained off to the side, sparring in the dirt. The double doors to the pack house peaked open long enough for Mj and Sam to slip out and pull the doors closed behind them, “about time assassin, what the hell took you so long?” he asked impatiently and as Sam began to apologize in a small voice Mj stopped her, “Sammie, don’t apologize to Commander crank-ass you did nothing wrong, he is waiting for me,” she said as sweetly as possible and waited for Sam to nod silently before the now meek hunter scurried back into the pack house. Mj watched Sam go and then snapped her attention back to Ace, “listen I don't know what the fuck crawled up your ass and laid eggs but you better un-constipate yourself with whatever problem it is you have with Sam or I swear on the Moon, our Beta, and Azreal’s sanity I will make you sorry.” Ace’s eye

                                        ***** This Chapter has a violent Trigger Warning****The soft sounds of a woman's voice began bringing Casper out of his fog. The disoriented wolf rolled his eyes open with a groan before closing them again and drifting back into his unconscious bliss. Mj smirked and patted his cheek before standing up, “sleep while you can little pig, the big bad wolf will wake you soon.” she cooed before pulling herself to her feet.Mj looked around the apartment she used to call home. Someone had to have taken the two joining apartments and knocked out the walls, she thought as her eyes floated around the new massive space. Mj wasn't sure if she wanted to vomit or cry f

Mj started washing the blood from her swollen hands when Moxie’s knowing grin crowded the doorway to the bathroom she was standing in, “Me, Jay and Tanner are getting ready to take off sha,” he drew out in an a practically bored tone, and she nodded, mindlessly agitating her fingers beneath the running water. Jay lightly touched Moxie on the shoulder, “you almost ready?” he asked and Moxie only shook his head lazily before slinking away from the door. Jay watched his sister turn off the water before turning to shake them dry, “get a towel,” he laughed as his face and chest were peppered with small droplets of water, but the jovial exchange began and ended with Jay as his sister stood in front of him with very little color in her face and absolutely no expression on her face. Jay straightened his shoulders and blocked the assassin’s exit completely, causing the alarmingly calm woman to cock her skull to the side and slowly look up into his eyes. After a long uncomfortable pause Mj spo

As the hours passed, Mj kept herself awake with the sadistic joy she got from waiting until Casper’s eyes drifted shut and his breathing slowed before she would kick his chair and watch his body jolt itself cognizant. The swelling and bruises on his face had started to subside, the blood on his face and clothes had long since dried, but the terrified tremors still plagued his entire frame. Mj continued her subtle, psychological torture, sometimes jumping up from her seat and charging toward Casper, only to spin herself around the rear of his armchair and head for the kitchen or simply sit back down and stretch her legs. Every time she moved close to him, the mentally worn man tied to the chair would clamp his lips shut as tightly as possible and whimper with fear of the unknown. Hunkering down with a smile on her face Mj watched as the first signs of morning began tickling the surface of the floor, and she decided to let Casper’s body crash into a deprived sleep while she contemplate

Ace continued to squeeze the steering wheel as he watched Mj move around uncomfortably in her seat. The assassin had started their journey relatively calm, it was almost as though the shower she took had washed away any and all signs of the absolutely manic woman she had been inside the apartment. But the closer they got to the pack house the more she began to fidget and fuss, and it was starting to get on Ace’s nerves, “we need to go straight to the Alpha’s office when we get home,” he mumbled and Mj stopped shaking her foot to snort a very juvenile laugh, “what’s wrong commander are you afraid I won't behave myself,” she joked and Ace grunted slightly, “I’m serious Mj, the Beta and Alpha are already stretched as thin as they can be with all the new arrivals,” he mumbled and Mj looked at him suspiciously. Ace smirked, “while you were playing operation with your new pet other Alpha’s have started showing up with their entourages of pack members,” he explained and Mj chewed at her thum
