Moxie did his best not to fidget or pace as he watched the human guards scurry, slamming Jay’s head into the side of the car while Ace hailed them from down the path. The impatient hunter's body itched with the need to insert himself in the situation, but Moxie took several deep breaths, saving his anxious energy for the coming events. Yanking his phone from his pocket, Moxie called Sam, “the Commander said to keep yo crew in small clustered groups when you head down the embankment, and hurry Sammie… Ace just offered himself up as bait.” Moxie slammed the phone back into his pocket without waiting for a response and swallowed the guilt he felt for exploiting Sam’s feelings for Ace in order to ensure the safety of his own mate.The sound of a snapping twig and crunching leaves directly behind him caused Moxie to whirl around and throw a punch, only to have his wrist grabbed by Sam as the tall thin hunter settled in next to him, “that was fast,” he hissed in amusement and Sam only nodde
Jay bent forward at the waist and cautiously crept toward the dark pod, as he entered he was met with the flash of yellow eyes and a deep threatening growl followed by the muffled cries of a small baby. Jay put his hands up in the air and stood up straight, “we came here to help,” he began and the snarling sound of a young wolf’s desperate attempt to be vicious and intimidating rang out, echoing off the walls of the small room. Jay took a step back and kept his hands up, “ok, it’s ok, we aren't here to hurt you,” he tried again and this time the sound of an angry voice echoed the walls, “LIAR,” a young girl's voice spat, “lab coat,” she growled and Jay kicked himself before shrugging it off and dropping it on the floor. “I stole it from a dead guy,” he admitted and was rewarded with a shocking gasp, “LIAR,” she spat and Jay scratched the back of his head before he shrugged, “look,” he began and stopped when Moxie’s warm chuckle floated into the room, “relax sher, give him a break yea,
Moxie stood outside the large compound engulfed in chaos and tried his hardest not to pace, the group of children and traumatized adults were looking to him for strength but as a LaFlare by birth and a Quicksilver hunter by choice the need to be defending his brothers and sisters was beginning to way heavy on him when the sound of Sam’s voice gave him a slight amount of reprieve. “Is this everyone,” she asked and Moxie grunted as he shook his head, “Jay is still in there, might be more,” he mumbled until the doors burst open to reveal his mate carrying a fragile looking woman while another small group of emaciated wolves followed him out.Sam whistled and held up her hand as a few more wolves from her crew rushed forward to help Jay and the others settle with the rest of the group. Sam’s eyes almost bulged out of her head as the furry young girl slid out from behind Jay. The fair-haired hunter turned to the young extraordinary looking girl and once more knelt to speak to her, “this
After managing to find a small access door hidden flush against the wall, Mack and Marco shifted before peeling the small door away from the wall. Mj smirked as she watched the swamp wolves open the hidden passage like a tuna can and slowly made their way inside before she followed them with Azreal on her tail. The four of them slowly made their way through the dark corridor and as Mj began to stumble in the dim lit passage one of the twins grunted as he pressed his back against her side and Mj smirked as she grabbed his large furry misshapen hand, “lead the way LaFlare I can’t see,” she whispered and although the information seemed wrong, the more she tried to see through the dark the more intense the pressure became behind her eyes and just as the sensation began to turn into another migraine Mj felt Azreal brush past her. The Alpha thrust his shoulder into a sealed door in front of them and with a little resistance, the door burst open, a small fluorescent light popped a small bit
Mj blinked as Jay shook her, and she could see his mouth moving, but her mind was still trying to work through all the things she had seen inside the facility that she didn’t understand anything he said to her. The assassin pulled Jay’s phone from its safe place inside the tattered remains of the bodice on her dress and handed it to him, “thanks,” she chirped and Jay’s mouth once again hung open as she half ran toward Azreal, who was still barking orders at the newly arriving convoy of vehicles.Jay followed with the feeling of dread looming over him and the feeling only intensified as Mj began to speak, “Alpha, is Casper still here,” she asked and Azreal nodded, only half paying her any mind as he helped load more people into cars and send them on their way. “Casper is still being held in the car you arrived in assassin, I kept it with the driver so that you, Jay and myself had a reserved way home,” he barked and began to count the line of cars.Azreal turned to Sam, “any more injur
Lila stood on the front steps of the pack house pacing, every available motorized vehicle that was on the premises had been sent to assist her mate. The feelings she was reading from Calix were making her feel panicked, and all she could do was pace and worry until the early signs of returning wolves peaked just over the horizon of her vision. Mara put her palm in the center of Lila’s back and the overly worried Beta sighed softly just before Tanner came stumbling out the door, almost falling straight into the both of them. Tanner grabbed Mara’s shoulder and Lila’s shoulder as he squeezed his face between them and hugged both women tightly. “Why the long faces ladies, we won, everybody is coming home,” he cheered and Lila pulled herself away from the celebratory hug before she turned to face Tanner and Mara, “I didn’t want to say anything in front of the kids but, we lost a few wolves,” she said somberly and Tanner grabbed Mara’s hand as she gasped, “about twenty, some from packs and
Mj stormed away from Azreal and the crowd of celebrating wolves with a lump in her throat and pain in her head. She was absolutely furious and deep down inside she felt the nauseating trickle of heart break. Shaking her head, the Quicksilver assassin began to pick up speed as she ran. The wind whipped through her hair and left cold lashes across her skin as she tried to outrun the mix of feelings. As she reached the med hall, Mj was not surprised to find Beth and John barking orders at nurses, orderlies, and wolves who had volunteered to help with the incoming. Mj stayed out of the way but managed to capture John Pearl’s attention, the doctor ran over to her immediately, “Are you injured assassin?” he asked and Mj simply shook her head, “no Pearl, but I need your undivided attention as soon as I can get it, and don’t tell anyone,” she almost mumbled. Although John looked at her strangely he nodded and gave her a small bow, “if there is nothing else presently I need to get back, Beth
Mj sat silently in her private hideaway staring at the flourishing green rose she had spent almost every day with since coming back from raiding the warehouse and regaining her memories. Her plan had been to get up off the floor of the bathroom, dress herself and immediately leave for the Nerezza pack, but after she put her clothes on and stepped out into the hallway the chaos that was now Quicksilver had consumed her every day since then. Jay and Moxie had taken to caring for eight or nine orphaned pups as well as one very unique young lady that may just be some kind of hybrid. Lila had asked Mj to aid her in finding temporary housing for the influx of refugees, and the assassin had done her best to either provide the incoming with their own room or asked Quicksilver pack members to host. She smiled to herself as she thought about the weeks that had passed and how easily everyone had settled. Arzon had returned to the swamp with Julie and the rest of the LaFlare pack a few days af
