Azreal lowered his arm and Mj’s feet again found the floor, Dante skirted across the floor on his knees and desperately grasped his mate by the leg burying his face in her thigh as she kept her eyes set on the man who still had her by the throat, although he was now allowing her to breath. As soon as Mj’s feet touched the floor she let her hands fall away from Azreal’s wrist and settle at her own sides, she kept her eyes locked on his and noticed that the gold swirl was fading into that deep intimidating color the Alpha’s eyes usually kept. “Explain” was the only word Azreal uttered before he released his hold on Mj, she open
Mj grabbed the now half empty bottle and poured once more, “to Julie'' she said and raised her glass but this time Azreal grabbed his glass and poured the lush drink onto the floor between them, Mj raised her eyebrow and drained her glass “want to talk about it,” she mumbled through her glass and Azreal chuckled. “I tried to choke the life from you not too long ago and you want to play
Mj almost jumped when Azreal and Lila each put a hand on one of her shoulders. “He really cares for you a lot” Lila began “although it may not seem that way now, Dante has a hard time expressing emotions that don't involve violence” Lila’s observation made Azreal drop his hand and walk back into the kitchen. “That is somewhat my doing, allowing him to swallow himself in the duties of an assassin was smart for me as an Alpha but careless of me as a friend, I should have helped protect him from himself” Mj and Lila both turned to look at Azreal. “Dante lost both of his parents in a
The walk was quiet and peaceful between the two, Mj let her mind wander as she thought about how much her life had changed and yet it still somewhat felt the same, she still felt surrounded by the hustle and bustle of other people and their various messy lives while she silently felt more at home surrounded by trees . The sound of her companions grumbled laughter brought Mj out of her own mind and she glanced over to see Mark was smiling at her “sorry” she mumbled and the guard simply hummed in reply, “you do not have to speak if you do not wish...but I do ask you not to apologize for things you have not done” the stoick
Lou took the photo and the moment his eyes focused on it he grabbed Mj by the arm and started to squeeze it fairly hard, “where did you get this?” Lou snapped and Mj’s eyes grew wide as his demeanor changed instantly and Mj recognized the frenzy of anger bubbling up in the old butcher. “What the fuck Lou you are hurting my arm” she said pulling her arm out of Lou’s feverd grasp and the old man grabbed a handful of her shirt and pulled her off her feet until she was eye to eye with him, “is this supposed to be a joke, who gave you this?” Mj could feel Theron pounding against her mind like
The sound of the door closing echoed around the refrigerated room but it was not the cold that made Lou shiver as he pulled himself off the floor and grabbed the telephone that hung on the wall. “Bethie,” Lou said after a few rings, “hold on Dr. Pearl… Lou whats wrong?” Beth asked from the other end of the line, Lou could hear her clearly but from the noise in the background he wasn't sur
As Lou watched the two hunters disappear around the corner he ushered himself toward his sisters room, he had many questions for Beth, afterall she met Mj years before Lou had and even if Beth had never seen Mj as a small child he thought she should have at least been able to see the resemblance. Lou was almost running now, he had worked himself up to the point he was sure his sister had been hiding Mj all along. Beth’s door was closed and
The almost haunted tone behind Dante’s voice had Mj wondering what the hell kind of shower he had taken, but she tucked the thought away and headed for the bathroom once more. As she looked at herself in the mirror and almost ritualistically grabbed for the hair tie she had on her wrist she paused and thought about what Dante had said, about wanting to see it free, Mj combed her fingers through her hair mindlessly as she thought about what to do.She shook her head out and inspected the way her hair fell in lazy twisted tendrils, like deep red seaweed drifting on the ocean’s surface. “Beautiful” the word tenderly drifted into her mind and Mj smiled when she felt the wolf’s warmth invade her body like a warm blanket. She hummed in satisfaction and closed her eyes to soak up the feeling “welcome back” she whispered out loud and Theron
Lou came rushing up to Mj and seized her by both arms, “MollyJay please,” both Sam and Mara began to growl and Lou looked at all three women who were scowling at him before he released Mj and slumped his shoulders forward, “I haven’t gone off the deep end and I swear to you if I had known who you were before I would have-” Lou stopped talking when Mj folded her arms and leaned back on one hip. “What the fuck are you talking about Lou please for the love of cold cuts on Saturday will you slow down and just fucking talk to me, you know me, Mj, MollyJay Bijou the girl who is almost always late for work and you dont fire her because your sister asked you to hire a screw up nobody with no family she took under her wing.” Mara jabbed Sam in the ribs and motioned toward the dining hall with her head, Sam simply nodded and the tw
