Rain
Darious and I sat on the grass talking about various things, about Cedric and I and any future plans with Darious, like finding a mate or something, he shrugged "haven't found the one yet, but it's ok, I'm not in a rush" I hummed "yeah, just let it be, it will come along" he nodded, I stretched my legs "tell me something funny" he raised his eyebrows "funny? like what? " I shrugged "I don't know Dee, anything, I'm bored" he looked at the distance while he seemed to think, then he smiled "I met a human once, it was a man and he was hunting in the woods" I leaned closer and listened intently as he continued "when I heard him approaching I ducked down and tried my best to hide harder, the man got closer and closer and I was surprised that another guy was following him far in the distance" he shook his head "when the man was passing by me he suddenly stopped, them he made a face and yelled at the guy in the back 'you smell that?! there's a strong smell here!' and the other guy was like 'yeah, maybe it's a dead animal' , but then I moved a little and the guy saw me, his face turned white and he grabbed his phone and took a picture of me. I frowned at him and he started to prey- I wanted to tell him to calm down so I said 'hey', but since I was in wolf form it came out as a snarl. The guy freaked out and ran away. But just as he turned around I grabbed his phone from his back pocket and smashed it" I frowned at him in confusion "why would you do that?" he raised his hands in frustration "for God's sake, because he took a picture of me while I was taking a shit!" my eyes widened as I processed his words and I burst out laughing as he scowled at me with irritation all over his face, that made it funnier and I clapped my hands as I laughed hard "oh my God! so that's why the guys smelled something like a dead animal!" I laughed harder and hooted, Darious' scowl dissipated and he started to laugh along "well, that day I had a boar for lunch, so that sums it up" at that point I was holding my tummy and tears rimmed my eyes, I'm pretty sure I was all red and my face looked ridiculous but I didn't care, Darious sure is the best. he fluffed my hair causing it to frizz "hey!", we laughed some more and after a while we sobered, he sighed "you have the goofiest laugh that I've ever heard" I raised my eyebrows "oh really?" he nodded and smiled "yeah, your laugh made ME laugh" I giggled and he chuckled. A sound of rustling from behind us made both of us snap into attention, Darious stood up and I followed, turning all serious, he grabbed my arm and moved me behind him "stay back"- I nodded and stared ahead, Darious lift his head and took a deep breath, he smelled the air and then I could see he relaxed. Turning around he smirked at me "there's an old friend here, wanna see who?" I cocked my head and frowned "who is it?" Darious grabbed me and moved me to stand in front of him "look there, at the right side of the bush" I squinted my eyes and soon saw the grizzly bear who attacked me once, it was sniffing around and moving "maybe it's hungry?" I shrugged, the bear suddenly turned to face us, it growled and stood on its hind legs, then it let out a loud roar, I gasped and scurried behind Darious, that bear was huge and terrifying, but Darious just chuckled and looked at me behind his shoulder with an arched brow "wanna see something cool?" I looked at him and decided that whatever he was gonna do, I don't wanna see it, so I shook my head violently but he nodded with excited wide eyes and that shit eating grin of his.
taking a few steps forward, Darious removed his shirt and pants, luckily he kept his underwear- but then he shifted and the underwear turned to shreds- the bear continued to roar and Darious' wolf stood there silent, when the bear stopped roaring Darious left his head and released a roar mixed with screaming sound, I flinched and the bear went down on all fours then ran away. Darious turned around, I looked at him and smiled "that was so cool", he seemed to forget that he was in wolf form because he started to grin at me- and it wasn't pretty, because all of his canines were showing and they were long and sharp, combined with those icy blue eyes and wolf head, it was menacing. I shivered and Darious seemed to notice so he bent down and grabbed his clothes then jumped behind a tree and shifted back.
The sun was starting to settle, Darious and I sat on the grass and watched as the sun began to go behind the trees and mountains on the horizon. "What's it like? to have all that power and be at the top of the food chain" Darious sighed "it's amazing, everybody fears and respects us, but it also causes others to misunderstand us" I frowned "how?" he shrugged "humans seem to put all of us in the same category, but just like you humans, each of us has his own personality- not all of us are wild, filthy and monterous animals" I raised a brow "you forgot stinky and smelly" he scowled and flicked my nose "ow!" I laughed and covered it.
It was almost dark, and I had to go back to the main house, standing up and stretching I looked at Darious "it was nice talking to you today, thanks for all the chat and laughs" he stood up and ruffled my hair "you're welcome, I'm all about the service, sweetcheeks" I swatted his shoulder "don't call me that, it sounds weird" he smiled "well I meant your red cheeks but" he moved to look at my rear "either way is true" I laughed and punched his chest "such a rude guy!" he barely flinched but chuckled and put his hands on his hips "want me to escort you back?" I looked around the dark forest "I think I'll be fine, after all, I smell like Cedric don't I? so no one will dare touch me" he nodded and smiled "clever girl". I opened my arms and hugged him tight then kissed him on the cheek "see you later" he pinched my cheek slightly "bye,Rain".
As I walked home, I enjoyed the sounds of the wild animals around me, the air was fresh and I noticed it's starting to get colder at night so I crossed my arms and hurried back. I finally reached the pack area, I noticed that everyone was in their cabins, lit windows surrounded the dark area, and the main house was all lit up with extra bright sensory lights around it. My eyes met golden ones and I flinched when I noticed Cedric standing at the dark side of the stairs, hands folded and legs apart with a huge scowl on his face, he sure did not look happy to see me.
I smiled at him "hey" he grunted and shook his head "where the hell have you been?" I shrugged "I was with Darious" he huffed "why were you with Darious?" I started to get irritated with his tone so I squared my shoulders and put my hands on my hips "I was bored, I searched for Cyprus and the guys told me he's busy, and you were having a meeting, so I went looking for Darious" he shook his head again while I could see him practically furious "I don't like that shit between you and Darious " my jaw dropped and my anger flared, but I bit my tongue since I remembered we were outside and I didn't want anyone hearing me yell or have a fight with their alpha. Stomping inside I walked past Cedric into the house, only to find Cyprus and Jud looking at us from the couch with raised eyebrows, just as I was about to take the first step upstairs Cedric grabbed me by the waist and pushed me to the wall "this is the last time you turn your back on me while I'm talking to you" I scowled at him "well I already did, what are you gonna do Cedric?" We stated at each other in what seemed like a stare down contest for a few minutes, at this point Cyprus stood up from the couch and stepped towards us "guys you need to calm-" Cedric snarled at him and he immediately raised his hands in surrender "okay, okay, sesh" he turned and walked towards the door "let's go Jud, those two need to have a talk" the whole time I listened to what's happening without breaking contact with Cedric's gaze, I was eager to test his limits, afterall, I was bored wasn't I?
