It took a bit of searching, but Fenris managed to find the cabin his father spoke of. As soon as he caught sight of it, Fenris didn’t waste another second and barged into the place, hastily setting his mate somewhere comfortable. That being the soft rug on the floor, for now. He then quickly searched around the shack for anything to warm her up, and thankfully found some furred blankets that he wrapped around her cold body. Once he had her all nice and snug, with the door and windows secured, he turned to the fireplace, which had some firewood right next to it, and got a good fire going.‘Alright. That should do the trick,' he thought, getting himself nicely warmed up by the fire as well. While his fur did help somewhat against the cold, he did still feel it a bit chilly out there with the terrible storm brewing. It didn't help that he did shift into his human form for a bit when he dug Christen out of the snow earlier. The form most vulnerable to the cold.Fenris turned his attention
Hotel Nightly. The very hotel Fenris met Christen that should've been in the human world. In no way should it have any connection in the werewolf world. Much less to some newly-made cabin in the middle of the woods. And yet... here he is. In the very same building.‘No, wait. Something’s not right here,' Fenris thought on suspicion. He took in a breath, and strangely smelled nothing. Not the smell of wood, of the paint, nothing. Above all, it was far too quiet in here. 'This is Hotel Nightly, right? Why do I feel something off about this place?'He proceeded to walk down the halls, looking around for anything that could close him in on what was going on."AAAAHHHHHHH!!" Until he heard that scream. From a voice he knew too well."Christen!" He ran as fast as he could to the source of the scream, worried about his beloved. The scream practically echoed in the halls, making it quite difficult for him to locate the right door.He closed his eyes, focused in on the screams, pushing down th
'Your mate? Did something happen to her?' Finral asked, filled with concern.‘No, she's fine. Nothing happened to her, per say,’ Fenris answered, somewhat easing his father.‘If nothing happened to her, then what is it about her you want to consult about?'‘It's just…’ Fenris looked down at Christen, unsure if he should tell him about the dream he had. When he saw her body starting to truth, a discomforted look forming on her face, he started to talk. ‘I had a dream earlier.’He could practically hear his father sigh at the response. ‘Fenris, I know you love her, but there is a time and place for everything,’ he told him.Already catching on to whatever misunderstanding his father has, Fenris added, 'It's not a good dream. And I don't know about it being a nightmare.’‘Explain yourself.’And explain Fenris did, as he told his father of the dream he had. How he saw Christen get violated by some men, while he could only helplessly watch the scene unfold, unable to do anything to stop it
When Christen woke, the first thing she noticed was the warm blanket wrapped around her body. Rather, the simple fact that she was still alive.‘I'm... not dead, again,’ she thought, looking at her hand. ‘Again, somehow, someway, I was saved. Again, god delays my death. And for what?' Tears formed in her eyes at the question, heart consumed in depression as she turned to her side, her hand lowered to the floor by her. ‘Is it really that amusing, god? Is it really that fun to watch me suffer day after day? Feed me whatever happy lies you can feed me, and then rip them all away with the most horrible of truths? I already fell in love- twice- and even had a child I loved and raised with all my heart… There is only so much more I can bear…' The tears escaped her eyes, trailed down the bridge of her nose, down her temple, and dropped to the floor. ‘Why? Why can’t I at least choose where or when I die?’Birds chirping reached her ears. Christen, wiping the tears away from her eyes, looked u
Fenris thought his pack and Damien lying to him about watching over Damien’s business and reassuring Christen's safety was shocking enough. More than when he found out the mate he was fated to be with was human. Her statement just now? With that smile on her face that he loved? He didn’t know what to think! He felt shaken to the core for her to make that assumption. More so, being happy at the thought of it.His surprise rose even more when Christen took his hand in hers- a touch that made his heart jump- and brought it to her neck, instantly filling him with dread. It did not help that Christen closed her eyes shut, a peaceful expression on her face."Okay, I'm ready. Please. End me,” she requested.Fenris was just baffled by what his beloved asked him to do. Heck, he was frightened by it, and ripped his hand away from her. In turn, Christen opened her eyes, looking at him in pure confusion."Huh? What's wrong? Don't you want to kill me?” she asked, causing Fenris’s stomach to drop a
With the soup consumed, things were quiet between Christen and Fenris. While the former sat by the fire, the latter was washing up the pot and bowls. Christen offered to do it for him, in return for the soup, but Fenris declined the help. Told her to just stay by the fire where it was warm.It was not that he did not think she was incapable of washing. Not when Fenris heard from her of her life before meeting Damien. How she often slaved her life away serving her family, and spent her ‘married life’ watching over her new home alone, without her husband’s assistance, or that of any other servant or hired help. All the cleaning and cooking she had done was all done by her and her alone. Even if Christen did not think so, Fenris could see that she would make an excellent housewife. In fact, she was one. Her husband, on the other hand, clearly did not see how great she was as a person. Her family were even more so, for them to treat her as one would a slave in their world. Not even Alphas
When the werewolf asked about her ring, Christen could not answer it. She did not want to answer. Did not want to remember the memories it held. Memories of him.‘I don’t want to remember anything about him,’ she thought, tears forming in her eyes as she recalled her time with him.Even though she was nothing more than a prisoner, with him around, she felt anything but. The hope she lost after her divorce with Forrest, regained from her time with him. Not to mention when he proposed to her… ‘Joy’ does not begin to describe how she felt. She even started to think of their future together. A nice house by the countryside, away from the city. The house didn’t have to be big- not like a mansion- but she did like it to be decent enough. For their kids- Christian and any siblings they may have later- to happily be roaming around, playing with each other, their friends, or even whatever pet they would consider adopting. Not to mention when they grow older, and want to take on a hobby. No sm
This... What should Fenris think about this? He who stayed by the door after hearing that sniffle, worried about Christen after how he acted towards her. Once it got quiet, they worry grew. While his bond did not react to the silence, that did not mean nothing was happening to her. Not when it became faulty thanks to his curse.Once he heard footsteps approaching, he quickly shifted into his werewolf form, racking his head for whatever excuse he could use to explain him still being here. All while hoping Christen wouldn’t come to the door. The silence on the other side was gradually putting him on edge, worries rising."I should just go,” he then heard. Words that sent chills down his sides, and rage to grow in him.‘This woman... Is she serious in trying to kill herself?!’ he wondered in annoyance.As through to answer the question, the door opened on Ferris, and he found himself looking down at Christen, who was refusing to make eye contact with him."I thought I warned you about le
