Sage

SageI watched as Liam clumsily stomped all over the obvious scene of someone's death. Stupid little twit! Julian hired idiots.With my usual attire, black leather covering every part of me including my hands because, fingerprints. I pulled my custom made sword from the sheath on my back."Get out of the way, you idiot." I told him coldly. "You're standing on my evidence."Liam, knowing I was growing irritated, quickly scrambled away from my scene. Probably the only smart thing he'd done all day. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye and he shrank visibly from my gaze. Coward.I crouched down in front of the big tree where all the brush and bracken had been crushed in an obvious struggle. There was copious amounts of blood and a bullet shell that I gingerly picked up with my gloved hand. So, someone had been shot. Probably a fatal wound. I touched the blood that still covered the ground. It had dried but was still visible. So, two weeks? Maybe three? But not earth disturbed t

Julian's Fury

Julian"You found what?" I yelled into the phone at Liam. I could almost see him cowering in fear at my raised voice. I almost smiled at that."They were beheaded boss!" He said shakily. Obviously the gore had bothered him tremendously. I would have to rethink his employment. I needed ruthless people who weren't afraid of some mangled bodies or blood. "They threw all of them in a heap behind a bush! I could see their heads, boss!" I could hear him start wretching and I rolled my eyes.Pansy ass."Pull it together, you dumb fuck!" I screamed into the phone. "Is that bitch Lyla with the bodies?" Oh, I could see that now. Her broken bloody body on the heap of bodies just as mutilated. Her head staring up with no light in them. Her mouth finally shut.Liam tried to pull himself together, coughing a little and then spitting. "No, boss." My teeth ground together. She'd escaped me again. "What does Sage have to say about it?" I snapped."She said the woman had help. Someone interupted them,

Lyla's Heart

LylaI was still sitting with the ladies who had defended me against Theresa happily chatting and watching the rest of the training session when I heard the commotion coming towards the training grounds. All of us stopped talking at once to see who was approaching.A young man who couldn't have been more than twenty four was stalking toward us while dragging what looked to be a tied up man by the roots of his hair. Jackson had stopped training his men and walked to stand a few yards away from us. The young wolf threw the broken man at Jackson's feet unceremoniously.It was Liam. I recognized him from Julian's little band of merry ass holes. I stiffened. What did this mean?The person who walked confidently behind the wolf, however, had me trying to scramble out of my chair, regardless of the large cast on my leg.Sage. Of course I knew her. She had dragged me back to Julian many times when I would try to escape. She noticed me and...Smiled! I couldn't believe she had the nerve to smi

Lyla's Heart Part Two

LylaI knew that I could easily just say one word and Sages life would be over. I could just look at Travis and she would be dead in less than a second, but as I looked at her and realized that she was only as cold and as heartless as she was because her life, her experiences had made her that way to survive. Though the horrible things that I had done had been forced on me, Sage did them as a way to survive from something I could only assume was as bad or worse than what I had been forced to do.I waved her toward me and she immediately complied. She stopped a few yards away from me. And I looked at her leather clad attire."Did you find Paul?" I asked her softly.She nodded slowly, holding my eyes with her own. "So, you saw what could happen if these wolves think you have overstepped a line they think is wrong, correct?"She nodded again, still calmly holding my gaze."Then you know that if you are lying about your intentions, these wolves, all of them, will more than likely kill yo

Attack at the Border

TravisJackson linked me while I was helping Lyla out of the bath, her cast wrapped in plastic and hanging out of the tub. She had insisted she could do it herself, but I wouldn't let her. I helped her into the tub with her leg propped on the side and left her alone to bathe. When she called me I was ready."Travis, I need you at the north side border!" Jackson said frantically.Shit! I helped Lyla to the bed and quickly handed her a robe. "Jackson needs me at the border." I told her giving her a quick kiss. She touched my cheek softly. "Be careful.""Mate cares!" Midnight crowed in my head. I would have rolled my eyes, but I didn't want Lyla to think I was rolling them at her.She laughed suddenly and dropped her hand. "Tell Midnight, yes I care."I jerked back. "You can hear Midnight while I'm not in wolf form?"She smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I think the longer I'm around you the stronger this mate bond thing gets. I started hearing him a couple of days ago after the incident with

The Meeting

TravisTwo days after Sage had decimated ten men while a bunch of wolves looked on with admiration and shock, Jackson called a meeting in the pack house. I already knew what this meeting was about since Jackson had come to me and Lyla for advice about it. He wanted to give Sage a place with the warriors. She was obviously strong and capable and, in Jackson's eyes, being a human meant nothing to him as long as she was a good and loyal warrior.We gathered around the giant dining room table, some sitting, some standing when there was no more room at the table. Thirty wolves and one human. Sage. She sat to the right of Jackson,who sat at the head of the table, Noah right next to her holding her hand under the table. We knew he had marked her because we could all feel her consciousness in their heads. Since the very first day. Noah moved fast.I was more cautious with my mate. I treated her like she was breakable, which annoyed her to no end, but until she was completly healed, I couldn'

Sage's Decision

SageI lay in bed with Noah that night, running my hands up and down his chest lazily. I had never been with anyone who could make love to me like that. When he'd marked me it had intensified the feelings even more.The other day when I had tracked and hunted Julian's ass holes in the forest, I had done it on instinct. For my mate. I knew he could take care of himself, but it still filled me with dread to think of him in harms way. But I had also thought of Lyla and of all the people I had met in this pack. I couldn't let any one of them get hurt by those creeps.When Jackson had offered me the elite warrior position, I had never felt such joy. To be accepted by these people. I had always tried to just stay to myself and keep everyone at a distance because that was the only way I knew how to survive but one look at Noah and suddenly I knew I'd had a higher purpose and it was with him. I felt like I had a home here with him. I had never felt like that before. Not anywhere. Oh, I had ni

Medically Cleared

TravisI watched as Lyla skipped ahead of me as we walked back to my house. We had just left Doctor Allan's office where Lyla finally had her cast cut off but not without a warning to her about not over doing it. She hadn't just had a broken leg, she'd also been shot in the head and severly beaten. Doctor Allan had given me a significant look. "Make sure she doesn't do anything too strenuous until she gets her strength back." She linked me. She knew full well that Lyla wasn't going to listen to her. Lyla had waited too long to finally be free. "She may seem completely healed but her body is still traumatized. She will get tired easily. Make sure she rests."I nodded at her without letting Lyla know that I had been speaking to the doctor without her input. She would hate it if she knew, but sometimes stubborn people need a little help to make her follow the doctor's advice.She was lighter now as she skipped ahead of him. Her mood had lifted dramatically and she was laughing and jokin

Liam's Just Reward

Travis I stared at the pathetic heap in front of me. His clothes were tattered and frayed from so many days wearing them and the struggle in the forest. His hair was matted with blood, his face swollen from the beatings he had been getting for the last month. The cell held the stink that emenated off of him. I grimaced as the scent assailed my senses. I wasn't going to kill him. At least not until Lyla decided she wanted him gone. Now that she was healed, she would want to come inspect the prisoner. Or kill him, either way he wasn't leaving here alive. Liam groaned and tried to sit up. With great effort, he leaned up against the stone wall behind him. His breathing was labored and occassionally he coughed up blood. He began to cry as he looked up at me. I stared at him with ice in my eyes. He knew he wasn't getting sympathy out of me."I was just doing my job." He whimpered. "Let me go, please! I... I've been here for so long! Hasn't anyone come to look for me?"I laughed with a col

Julian's Plan

Julian"All ten of them?" I said quietly into the phone. "All ten? How could that be? They're all dead?""Yeah, boss." Came the gravelly voice on the phone. Dean, one of my best, sounded shaken. Dean was shaken? "We found them all shoved into their cars, blood and guts everywhere and...." I could hear him almost gagging. "they're heads were cut off and thrown in there on top of the bodies." Now he was dry heaving.Pussy. Couldn't handle a little blood and guts? That had been my entire childhood. Heads cut off? That sounded like someone I knew. Someone I had paid very handsomely to make that little problem named Lyla come back to me. Someone who had spurned me from the get go.Little bitch!"Did you happen to find Sage in those bodies?" I seethed quietly at him."N..no, boss. It was just the men."I slammed my fist down on my desk and watched as all the items on it clattered from the force. That would be Lyla soon, I thought. But first, there was another woman I had to deal with and i
