A sigh emitted from my throat as I sat, hunkered low in the lounge chair by my window. My room was... Abstractly boring. White walls, black bedspread grey carpet, a close hamper dresser tv, and closet. I did not need to have such things so fancy. My life was quite simple to even bother complicating it with more than I needed basic items. " Garon you sure are a silent weirdo" I heard a young familiar feminine voice pipe in. " hey creed. I didn't hear you .." I got up and greeted her hugging her tiny form gently. " Garon I need to talk to you.." A wave of worry entered me as my thoughts trained to drake . " he hurt you? " her head voluntarily shook no, so that was one relief ." We'll whats wrong then " " we're not close but out of the other two. You seem more up to the part when it comes to quick comprehension of emotions. " I was beginning to understand her, but my thought trained to krux this time ." I think drake is hiding something. I know he's my mate and we're new to this whole thing.. Especially me. But today I got a strange feeling from the way he looked at me..like he was struggling to hold something in. Can you do me a favor and try to... Figure it out? I would but I need to think and spend a day to myself. Still getting used to the other being in my head " I hesitated but nodded." No problem. I'm glad you came to me first and not your brother. Can't say he wouldn't have put us on lockdown. " I saw her smile, lifelessly before she left. Times change people and for creed, it was seemingly and becoming a sure sign of a bad thing.
Tick tock
The bindings unfold
The monsters we have
Begin to take hold
The day seemed to drag on slowly. Everyone was scattered about, with no intentions of making encounters any time soon till dinner. Creed was up in her room, music blaring, drawing out her frustrations, Garon barricaded himself in the den office reviewing plans on land safety, krux went on his patrols and Justin and Kuja were nowhere to be found. The wind picked up quietly outside, the trees dancing in a gloomy waltz. The sun had gone down hours ago, so the only light was the moon cascading a beautiful shadowy night figure over the pack's home. It was beyond a perfect night for the becoming of fall. Soon a full moon would come and everything would be set to stone. Little plans were made for mating ceremonies within the pack house, and the thought of the first heat was heavy in the air. Almost everyone had their noses turned in nervousness.
Even Kuja himself.
Dinner time was approaching as most of the members of the pack entered the mess hall. Quite a convenient setting for a dining area. The walls were tall with a golden painted interior. The accents highlighted the brownish-yellow diamond pattern in the curtains. A vibrant but illuminating chandelier hovered above the dining table. A soft shadow descended like a Cloud. A calm essence presented its self from the aura of cinnamon candles lit along with the table for a homey glow. Along the low walls were trophies and pictures of past and fallen members of the pack. A sort of memorial and momentum to the pack as it is now.
As each member came in to sit, they passed their respects to the past alphas and Luna's and members who had fallen in battle or passed in natural cause. The blood moon pack was ruthless, but they held their elder alphas and Luna's like a god, loved and respected them as of they still walked among them. Nothing amounted to a wolf's pride and respect when it came to their alpha or Luna. Their love never faltered and their dedication only grew stronger to their pack.
Walking in, I hugged myself. Most entered with their mate but I entered alone. I noticed my mate was already here sitting across from a sickening and rather angry look krux. I believe drake was asking for a death wish trying to cross krux a. Threat wasn't a good thing. The maidens brought in the food one after the other placing them on the hot turn tables on the dining table. Quietly I snuck in behind one of the Maidens and stole a seat beside drake. Garon and Justin walked in, behind them Kuja. I pleaded at Garon with my eyes for him to sit next to me. My comfortability with drake was lingering on a fence of confusion and psychotically frustration. I suppose Garon saw the need and he aided my side with his presence. He nudged me gently and smiled. I turned to my mate and saw a very sullen dark scowl pressing his thought lines forward. My wolf wanted so much to scold him for his action but as before I hushed her and stiffly leaned into him, purring subconsciously. Trying to soothe him. It managed to work. My brother rang a cup and that signaled dinner time. As we all grabbed our food. One by one we all started to eat. The tension was so high it could make a deaf old man hear again. Garon broke the silence with a question to drake ." So drake, what do you think of creed ?" His nose twitched. I knew Garon was pushing his limits but he was merely just trying to get something out of drake . " she's a goddess compared to the other eye-catchers here" drake never missed a beat between eating and talking. His answer earned several scoffs from some females and their mates. Dinner was going to be fun.
" what do you mean a goddess ?" Garon pressed further. This night would not end well I could already imagine . " her eyes, her face, her personality, her care and thoughtlessness about others. In my old pack, she would've been a great Luna ." He smiled subconsciously as he spoke. Garon went quiet for a moment and decides to switch topics . " you don't like us do you. Me krux and Justin?" Drake suddenly stopped and turned to look passed me at Garon. " I can't say I hate you. But your closeness with my mate makes me uneasy." Garon nearly blurted out with laughter ." Drake dude c'mon. She's my friend's little sister. I have no intention of seeking her from you. I'm still looking for my mate. As is Justin and krux and Kuja ." He glared at Drake, talking the precious comment now as an insult . " besides..you aren't true mates till you've mated. Everyone with the blood of a pure wolf knows that" Garon stuffed a biscuit into his mouth whole. I was in awe and in an awkward position being between now that they had hit each other's nerve. I had to pick a side and if I choose Garon, drake would think I'm cheating and if I picked drake Garon would think I put my mate before family. Not a good scenario. " how about we just eat.." I mumbled and felt my face warm up with a bit of anger ." So drake... Do you know anyone that's here unknowingly? Or trespassing? Seems you slipped passed the alpha without so much as a blink of a threat." Drake stiffened, I almost thought he wasn't going to answer. My throat began to swell with fear and fury. " no. But if I can become a patrolman. I can help prevent it from happening again.." This time he looked to krux. Krux in return kicked my shin trying to aim at Garon. I jumped in mere pain. Krux was a decade wolf compared to me. The power behind his kick managed to cripple my leg with a splintered fracture through my pant leg. Screaming didn't even come to mind when the pain reached my core. I lunged from the table backward wheezing hyperventilating. Blood poured down my leg into my shoe as the fracture became more prominent. I was a new wolf so my ability to heal wasn't so quick to kick in. I heard Garon and drake start to fight about the whole incident. The pain was so great that I lay on the floor, my chair to pieces from when I landed. My vision blurred and suddenly everything became black and silent.
