Cut All Ties. Beta Williams assist me walking down the stairs. Every one of my footsteps is heavy and if he wasn’t holding me up, I would be crawling along the floor. We make it to my brother’s office downstairs for 10am. As I enter, he doesn’t even look up from his paperwork. “Thank you Beta, you may leave!” He commands to William. William nervously looks at me before mind-linking me. “I’ll be outside the door.” I don’t sit, I stay standing holding onto the back of the desk chair adjacent to my brother. This used to be father’s office. It has a dark navy feature wall and faint grey matching walls. I notice that by the window is another desk with a pink laptop, top of the range. No doubt where Saskia sits pretending to be just as important, just as skilled. Henri takes a long sip of a cup of coffee before he looks up at me. His eyes are still cold, emotionless. I am no longer his sister, I am the disposable pack member that attacked his precious Luna. “The punishment for attack
Trying to avoid attention. Trey grabs my duffel bag and throws it over his shoulders. He rests his arm around my shoulder and whispers into my ear. “Do you want me to break you out?” “You’re joking but I might actually have to call in a favour!” I chuckle back to him. “Are you both new recruits?” A strong commanding voice bellows to us from behind. We both turn to find three incredibly tall Lycan men walking towards us. The one in the middle is bulky and I would say in his fifties. The one to my right is shorter than his two comrades and younger than the man in the middle. He is covered in tattoos and piercings. I stare at his nose ring, I little bit too long. The third Lycan almost takes my breath away. He is tall and muscular yet slim. He has dark brown hair and orange-brown eyes that look like they are on fire. I can just make out the outlines of a six pack under his tight army green T-shirt. “No sir, I am the driver!” Trey responds trying to keep his voice at an even tone. Tr
Starting to make friends. “Fuck off Spike!” Tucker shouts back just as loudly. Oh great, my aim of literally blending in isn’t going well. This Spike who looks just like his name, with spiky bleach blond hair and spikes through his ears stands up looking at Tucker. “Make me?” He smirks with a growl. “I’ll punch your fucking face in that your mouth won’t be able to say another word!” Tucker springs up and threateningly leans on the table. “Don’t worry, I’ll be so far deep in your new friend’s pussy that she’ll shut me up enough.” Did I just hear what I thought I heard? No one has ever made such a disgusting comment at me that my wolf takes true offence to it. She stands up, growling at this Spike. I’m lost for words, can she not see the size of him through my eyes. Then something odd happens. The doors slam open and Lycan three walks in with someone else. Lycan three must be a high ranking soldier as the atmosphere in the room takes a dark suffocating change. A growl leaves his
An uneven fight. Spike walks towards me with an evil grin on his face. The term ‘cat that got the cream’ came to mind, well he wasn’t having my cream. Prick! He probably stood back waiting for me to be his partner. “Come on she-wolf let’s see what you’ve got!” He gestures to a spare mat and I follow him. “This she-wolf has a name!” I say back to him. I didn’t want him to think he had a one up on me because I was a she-wolf and he was a lycan. Clearly he was going to win this, clearly I wouldn’t last long. But I still demand respect! “Positions!” Alpha commands to us all. I take my place at the opposite side of the sparring mat. My mind is going a thousand miles per a second. I try to calm myself down to think out a strategy. He is strong and arrogant, he will want an easy finish. So I’ll have to dance around him a little bit.A loud horn is sounded and each lycan growls as the sparring session begins. Spike the idiot, comes straight for me. As I thought, more brawn than brain. He w
A trip into Town. I was conscious to shower quickly, however, my shoulder still ached but the hot water provided some relief. I quickly put on a deep green T-shirt dress, black tights, Chelsea boots and a leather jacket. It was October and starting to get colder, but not cold enough with my she-wolf blood running through my veins. It kept me warm in winter and cool in the summer. I add some mascara, bronzer and lip gloss to my look. More to hide the pale look from the pain of my shoulder than to impress anyone. I step outside of Building B and find Axel is waiting for me in the courtyard. He smiles at me as I walk towards him. “You look beautiful Aida!” “Oh…thanks!” I tuck my long dark brown hair behind my ears and put my head down. I wasn’t used to compliments, only Caleb gave them to me. I wobble on my feet at the thought of Caleb and Axel steadies me with his arm. “You ok?” He asks with a frown. “Yes, thanks, just lost my footing. So where are we headed?” I guiltily push Caleb
A new room-mate.We head back to base and I’m silent the entire drive. I’m both angry and embarrassed. Angry that Saskia has gone out of her way to make things even more difficult for me here and embarrassed that I, yet again, let her get to me. As the car pulls up to the base entrance I hastily unfasten my seat belt and practically run out from the vehicle. “Thank you both for today. I’m going to head back to my quarters for a bit.” “Okay!” Tucker responded. He knew I needed time by myself right now. “Aida wait!” Axel shouts after me. I zone everyone and everything out. I’m currently going into survival mode, just until I make it back to Building B, when I can let out my anger and frustration. If I do it in front of the Lycans they’ll see me as a threat and take me down. I’ve heard she-Lycans are in better control of their emotions than she-wolves. Plus, if I see Spike and he makes another comment, I may just end of throttling him. As soon as I enter Building B, I close the door
Drinks and the morning after! I stopped counting after five drinks! I think I must be on drink number ten, not including the shots. At what point were they going to feed us? I hadn’t eaten since breakfast and my shoulder injury incident. Although, the alcohol was helping with the pain relief in itself. I’d probably regret the arm wrestle Tucker challenged me to after drink number six. Of course he won! It wasn’t even a competition. But I stupidly used my left arm, just in case he broke my right. I didn’t want two busted arms, or, at least that was the thought process behind it from a drunk Aida. “What’s the time?” I say to Hong who didn’t even look drunk.“9pm!”“Shit, I’ve got to go!” I try to stand up from my log-seat and almost tumble forward. Hong catches me by my waist and steadies me. “You okay?” “Yep! But my bum is numb!” I say with a whine and start rubbing my bum cheek. Whoever made those seats didn’t plan for them to be sat on for five hours straight. “Do you want me to
A fight!Lycan wolves are huge! The difference between a car and a bus! But my wolf is feisty and quick on her feet. His aggressive lycan wolf growls at me on all fours legs. His features are larger than that of a normal werewolf but otherwise he isn’t so scary. His brown fur is matted and I can see a few scars around his rib cage. He hasn’t looked after himself which makes me think he could be a rogue. This lycan has been caught nosing around before and been punished. If my wolf can be smart and angle herself properly she should be able to attack his week ribs. His jaw starts to snap in an impatient move. Well I’m literally waiting for the calvary, so I have plenty of time to waste. He’s the one that needs to make the first move, which will open him up to a weak spot. Impatient, he forms a predatory stance towards me and lunges forward. My wolf dives out of his way but manages to claw one side of his ribs. I’ve bruised his ego now! My wolf ensures that she just as quickly is front
