The blood is rushing in my ears as my jaws clamp down on the neck of a rogue feeling the blood seeping into my mouth. I throw him to the side swiping and sinking my claws in to another hearing him whimper in pain. I feel pain in my leg turning my head to see a small brown wolf its teeth deep in my leg with one swift shake the wolf lets go his body hitting a tree as he flies backwards, and I see his eyes close.
We have been fighting now for an hour, originally, we thought there were just 30 but they kept coming in waves of 5 and 6, the dead littering the floor luckily none of them are ours.
"Calder, they have started to retreat back into the forest " Sigi links me sounding angry and hyped up.
"Sigi chase them I want them captured I need to know what they want "I link back to him and I see him, and a few others dart towards the tree.
My Alpha aura radiating as the fighting begins to die down the a few smaller injured looking my way and deciding against it as they run int he opposite direction. I link some of the warriors to begin the clean-up, I walk back the pack house shifting in the process and taking back control from Vidar. I’m looking down at my leg when I see a pair of shorts in a small hand in front of me, it’s normal for omegas to bring out clothes after a fight, I look up to say thank you and to my surprise its Liv.
She is looking at me her eyes full of concern and I see her glance at my leg. "You should get that checked "Her words are soft and before I can speak, she takes my hand and pulls me into the house. I follow her unable to stop myself from watching the curves of her body move as she walks. We stop in the dining room full of other pack members helping the warriors to clean off the blood and wrap any injuries.
Then a sharp pain rises in my leg. "FUCK " I see the Liv jump and immediately bow her head the heads of those in the room bow as well.
"Liv I’m sorry I didn't mean to " I look at her hoping she realizes it was an accident, she nods her head as a response and continues to clean my leg, her hands soft and careful. She then looks up her grey eyes fixated on mine.
"It looks like its healing already; I hope you don't mind me cleaning it for you I saw everyone else was busy and those rogues didn't smell to clean “Her eyes make me forget to speak for a second time. She then looks nervous and goes to speak again, my heart beating a little faster. I pulled away from her eyes when I hear my name being called.
Sigi walks over to where we are sat a look of fury on his face, his wolf still in control and I know that is not going to be good.
"Alpha, we lost all of them apart it’s like they vanished then on the way back in we spotted a small brown wolf near a tree seemingly dead, but he was still breathing” .
I feel my anger returning what little calmness Liv had installed began to vanish.
"Take him to the cellar get one of the doctors to patch him, when he wakes let me know I’d like to meet him " Sigi looks and me and turns away towards the door.
I pause and look at Liv to angry to think Without saying a word I stand up and leave the room I need to get out of here and away from her at times like this my wolf wants release and being this close to her will end in the kind I might regret.
I head to my room and take a cold shower.
"Vidar you need to calm down”.
"CALM DOWN! IM GOING TO RIP HIM APART HOW DARE HE THREATEN THE PACK "
I let the water run over me it’s cold and with time I feel Vidar calm down.
"Better? "
"Yes Calder " His words still harsh but I know he’s calm.
"We really fucked that up with Liv, she’s nice and we just cut her off”.
"Who cares Calder she’s not mate! "
"That doesn’t make her any less important Vidar “with those last words I close the link he needs to call off.
I get out of the shower a thousand thoughts rushing through my head, I pull on some jogger shorts and lay back in my bed.
what do they want?
what’s if it’s not a what, what if it’s a who?
how are there so many of them?
I feel myself drift off I start thinking of Liv.
Her brown caramel skin shining under the moon, her grey eyes staring at me as I look deeper into them and they change and become shining emerald green I look around and I'm back at the waterfall, standing in the water with a girl she has no defined face only her green eyes and I'm pulled into them and can’t look away her, every time I move or turn, she is in front of me again.
Then she begins to claw at my chest her nails digging into deep into the skin ripping at the flesh I try to stop her, but she moves and attacks me from all angles, the faceless girl then stands in front of me I link, and she looks like Liv again with one movement Liv pushes her claws through my chest and rips out my heart, holding in her hand while I’m stood watching holding my beating heart.
My eyes shot open Hand instinctively reaching for my chest and sweat pouring off my body.
The door knocks again and Sigi comes in.
“Alpha he is awake”.
Ryan’s POV
"Eric, Calder has accepted the offer to train with us tomorrow he has agreed to send 15 warriors to the border, and I will meet them, he has not mentioned if he will join the training " Eric nods his mind processing the news I’m almost afraid to tell him the next bit, he’s been my friend my entire life but there is a reason he is an Alpha.
"Eric that's not it ... the silver moon was attacked last night, for no real reason. Beta Sigurd said there were around 30 but as they were fighting groups of 5 to 6 kept coming out of the forest. They overpowered them with minimal injuries but much like before they chased the last into the forest and lost, they vanished." I wait to hold my breath I know he would not like that last bit of news. In one swift movement he swept the contents of his desk on the floor smashing his fist through the desk with such force his breaks in half.
"Anger doesn't solve anything it only prolongs the solution " I turn my head and see Luna Georgie she swoops across the room and places her hand on Eric’s shoulder, and I see the blackness of his eyes withdraw, he’s stool looking down and Georgie mouths to me that she has got it from here. I quickly exit the room.
I walk back to my room passing some pack members on the way I see Selene talking to Dom in the hallway they have been spending a lot of time together recently I know Arti will be happy to see her smiling.
The room is filled with the smell of Vanilla cupcakes and apples, I know Arti is home she comes out of the shower the steams till rising from her skin her perfect long dark curly hair brushing past her shoulders and her Amethyst eyes landing on me.
"You look tense Ryan are you okay?" I’m so distracted by how beautiful she is I forget to respond.
"Ryan?"
I grab a hold of her pulling her to my lap caressing the back of her neck while I explain to her all about the attacks on the silver moon before I can finish talking Arti's mouth is on mine I feel a wave of calm wash over me any anger leaving my body .She’s pulls away and I continue telling her about the training agreement , We go over what we want to do in terms of training we want to show them we are strong but without giving to much away.
She suggests we use Sel and Dom to set up early tomorrow they will be arriving at 10.30 so it should give them plenty of time she minds links Sel to let her know and she informs Dom. They agreed to meet us in the arena at 8.30.
After a while silence falls into the room, Arti steps away walking towards the wardrobe about halfway she drops her towel to the floor exposing her plump ass, I feel my wolf Rihodir wake inside me, she has no idea what she does to me I stare at her walking slowly she turns around the pupils of her eyes a perfect black against the purple and I know her wolf Cyrus is awake. I get up and pull her body back towards me her naked body presses against me, her head tilts back and I see the spot where my mark lies. I lean down placing small kisses on the spot and I hear her purr in my ear.
She pulls me down onto the bed and she tears my shift off, Damn I must have her now!
