Chapter Forty-One
Not Another Hand Koin it was Azier that woke him, gnawing viciously at the back of Koins mind. Koin opened his eyes, and there she was. All bandaged up. what was visible of her face, mostly the right side, was bruised badly. A lot of her was bruised actually, her arms, what he could see of her legs before the bed obstructed his view. Her mouth was hanging open as she staired at him, he was going to sit up, to speak, but he was afraid she would run, or that it might be a dream. Then again in his dreams she was well, perfect. She blinked several times before she spoke, her voice surprisingly hoarse "Koin. I.." She looked apologetic, but the rest of her words didn't come out. Azier wouldn't wait anymore. He pushed to the forefront and then forced Koins body up from the bed. He picked Thalia up, not pausing for her gasp of pain and pulled her tight to his chest, so her face was close to his. She wrapped her legs around his waist though she stiffened as if that hurt as well, and then sat

Some Kind of Future Thalia Her head was spinning. Koin was back. He was different now, the time away had not been kind to him. or maybe he hadn't been kind to himself. him holding her in his arms actually made some of the pain edge away, and for the first time in what felt like forever she fell into a deep, comfortable sleep. She woke to Koins chest rumbling under her and jerked to sit up, closing her eyes as the pain rocked through her, making silence for her other senses. Connor was there now, and Koin growled at him? She had no time to ask or but in because as soon as Connor mentioned her needing medication Koin was lifting her, moving her gently as he fallowed Connor out and back to her room. She knew they knew about her being an unclaimed minor, but after she was asked and Dedrick notified nothing else was said. She had a chilling worry that they would send her to a girl’s home. After all she had been a lot of trouble. She was 17 now, only a year, then she could be on her own

Chapter Forty-Three
Simple Days Koin She was still beautiful. Even if Thalia was fine with the shower arrangement Azier wouldn't have left the room intact. Yet he knew she wasn't. Somehow he felt close to her, like he could sense her mood, see the small absent-minded mannerisms that gave away her thought. She clutched the blanket tighter curling it into her palm slight. Her head lifted and tilted back at the Nurses words, as if she wanted to make sure she understood her clearly. She wanted him. She wanted to be with him. She was his now. No matter the consequences for either of them. Then she was watching him, her stormy eyes hiding a question. He quirked a brow and then she spoke "Is she a wolf? or. Just a human who knows?" She asked before taking another bite of her yogurt. He looked her over while she ate, it was oddly comforting that she cared at all. "She is an Omega. A wolf of our pack. She and her family live nearer the city." She nodded slowly thinking it over "And..you’re like her boss." He s

Time and Space Connor He was waiting on the back porch with Dedrick and Rehida, picking at the bun of his burger. Iyla and Ordia would be there soon, and although he loved seeing Iyla, he wasn't ready to have the discussion ahead. Fortunately, they weren't long, and 10 minutes later everyone had a plate, Iyla sitting on his left. "He's not himself. Aziers extremely protective of Thalia. didn't even want me closer than 5 feet." Ordia nodded "She's not well either. I think the poor dear is still in shock." Rehida nodded taking a deep breath "There is a cabin up the small mountain pass, nothing grand but big enough for the two of them." Connor as glad they were coming home, but that wasn't the most important issue "A wolf did this. And Koin knows it." He stated plainly. He wasn't sure at this point if they would let Koin exact his revenge or try to do this with some sort of civility. Dedrick took a deep breath "We all know that who every responsible has to have gone into hiding. T

Other Ideas Thalia She had not fully considered Koin helping her shower. Her dressings and cast were wrapped up tight and he had carried her to the bathroom before the realization settled in. He didn't hesitate not even for a second. He closed the door behind them, used the toe of his shoe to close the lid of the toilet and set her down on it gently "Lift your arms a little." He told her and she staired up at him blankly before shaking her head. This was not cute. Not sex. She was bruised and battered, hadn't showered in a week, or shaved for that matter. this was not how she wanted him to see her naked for the first time. He took a deep breath "Thalia please. don't be difficult." The tone of his voice nearly made her smile and she debated for a second teasing him a little more. Now wasn't the time. Not yet. He leaned around her to unsnap the back of her hospital gown, and she slowly lifted her arms so he could pull it off. She was fully naked now, and despite her injuries the cold

Chapter Forty-Six
Acts of Care Koin Azier was having serious mood swings as Koin washed Thalia's hair. Of course, he was horny, he's wolf. Other emotions were swirling around as well. fear that she didn't want to actually join the pack. Anger that anyone would do this to her. And then comfort. There was an intense satisfaction for him in caring for her, the way she softened against his hands and now looked sleepy. He wanted to sooth her into a tired bliss, to kiss and massage every bruise or kink out of her body. He was already running through his mind a small list of ways to get her to relax with him, to pamper her. He couldn't mend her bones any quicker, but he could make other things better. When he was through washing her hair he went to get the soap and wash cloth, stopping as he turned towards her again. The sight of her like that had Azier crashing headfirst into the boundary of his mind. She was facing him, sat forward slightly, her large perfect chest pushed out, her legs a bit parted givi

Chapter Forty-Seven
The Days to Come Thalia She was definitely under prepared for going home. If the hospital was suffocating, this was beyond strangling. Apparently Dedrick, Rehida, Orida, Connor and Iyla had become some sort of parenting team against Thalia and Koin, deciding together what was best for the two of them. She wasn’t upset by the little Cabin they had set up for them, it was actually perfect and beautiful. It was all dark wood on the outside, green shingles on the roof and shutters to match, even the door was green as well. It was 1 floor, 1 bedroom with an open kitchen and living room that merged, only half separated by a long island bar. The inside was simple as well, dark wood to match the outside, but with bold accents of yellow and white to make it feel a little bigger. The furniture was all in either leather or black, and she could Rehidas touches everywhere, not just visually, but because Iyla was so excited to detail their shopping trip. Iyla seemed to think the world of Rehida,

Chapter Forty-Eight
The Foreboding Koin He couldn't believe his life was actually playing out the way that it was. Everything seemed perfect. Thalia was finally no longer fighting him, maybe she didn't talk constantly and divulge her whole life’s story, but she didn't push him away anymore, didn't try to run away with him. Every day he got to hold her, not just when she was crying. Every day they had breakfast and dinner together. Everyday felt like a dream come true, and while he wished she wasn't hurt, he was oddly enjoying taking care of her. To add to the blissful peace that had come into his life, his brother was more than happy. Ilya was just the girl for him and watching Connor stair at her dreamily made him chuckle often. He was like a goofy love-struck puppy dog. He felt a blossom of hope when Connor told him Iyla had not only seen his wolf but looked forward to hanging out with him in wolf form. He could only dream that Thalia will be so in love with Azier, cause the big guy was all about he

Freaks at FestivalsIyla She would've settled for having her sister back and living pretty much anywhere but Louisiana. How could life get any better? Not only did she live in a beautiful place with great people, but she had a boyfriend!! He was the best; he was funny and smart and could toss her around like she weighed nothing. He even let her sit on his shoulders to pick cherry’s. Ordia liked it here too, her job was to help run the little day care down the hill while pack members did their usual daily work. If only Thalia was better and could come hang out with her, but she was having fun doing her hair in the mornings, Thalias hair was thick and curly and held so many tones of warm red and brown. She always liked her own hair, but it was kind of boring, always straight, never held a curl, or hairstyles either. School was great too, but Koin was always in a bad mood, and Connor became very serious when they walked through the doors also. She knew why, they were looking for whoev

Chapter Fifty
Familiar Noises Thalia She was in some cave, a massive circular space with tunnels all around, at least 6. Someone is there. She can hear them faintly whisper. She can see the light of the fire reflecting off the wet stone, but every time she turns her head to look the flames and the form have moved, just shadow against the light. “Red is the rose which petals wilt, Red are these hands,Red the life blood, Blood of body, Blood of family, Blood these roots like bones digging deep.”The voice sounded familiar, but not at the same time, maybe once beautiful but it was now a sickly tone, a hissing whisper as if the words to bold to take real sound. Then she woke up. She gasped in breaths as reality settled on her, the cool morning air sneaking in the window. Koin was getting dressed by the closet and he smiled seeing her "Good morning." He came over slowly to kiss her head, but at the last moment she tilted her chin up and let his lips meet hers instead of her temple.He chuckled
