It was late in the afternoon when Forrest was out running. Not on the streets, though, but on the roof of multiple buildings. Using his werewolf abilities to jump from one building to the next as quickly as he could.‘Damn it. What the hell happened?! How did this happen?!’ he wondered as he ran.A little earlier, after his confrontation with Mason, Forrest received an urgent link from Kiara. With a news he couldn’t believe he had heard. That being… Christen’s kidnapping.‘This better be a prank. Tell me this is just some park to get me out of work early!’ he frantically prayed. Hoping what his mate told him was truly nothing but a lie. That Christen was really okay. She was already traumatized enough with everything that happened to her, now she got kidnapped? How was that even possible? When their mansion was filled with werewolves who thought may be servants also doubled as guards. It shouldn’t be possible for anyone to sneak in, and he and Kiara were being careful in selecting the
Water splashed on Christen, waking her up with a start. Her head pounded a bit as her eyes adjusted to the light, and she found herself in an unfamiliar room, with two others with her. Both eerily familiar.“Well, hello there, sleeping beauty,” Otto greeted, an empty bucket in hand, with bits of water droplets dripping from the edge. “How’d you find your rest? Blissful, I hope?”Christen became confused when he asked that, though not as much as she was frightened. Both by his and Scar’s presence, and the situation she was in. Namely upon noticing how she was chained to the bed she was lying on.‘W-Where am I? What’s going on here?! Where is this?!’ she wondered in fright, struggling to be out of the chains, with more questions swarming in her head. Those mainly being why she was here and what was happening to her.Otto was amused by her struggling as he said, “Oh, I’m sorry. Are you trying to escape from your little imprisonment? I’d stop and save my strength if I were you. Or do you
"You will do no such thing."Scar and Otto were both spooked when they heard that voice, whereas Fatima seemed more annoyed by it as she turned to the door."Ah, Advisor Finral. What a surprise. What are you doing here?” she greeted a man standing there. He who looked much like someone from Christen's past, only much older. ‘Fenris? No, that can’t be. It can't be him,’ she thought in disbelief."I believe that's my line to you, Fatima,” Finral retorted. “Last I remember, my son forbade you from even entering this vicinity. He may not have been home these days, but that order has not changed.”Fatima became briefly annoyed when he said that and answered, “As I said to these two, I am simply doing my duty as an Alpha. That being to greet our guest.”Finral looked down at Christen, causing her to flinch. "This is your idea of ‘greeting’ her? Having her chained to the bed?" He did not wait for an answer, and walked over to Christen, to her slight fright, and easily broke her out of the c
With that warning he gave the three werewolves, Finral undid his Alpha Authority on them, lightening the air around his kin. All three let out relieved sighs, confusing Christen even more, as she- a human- did not feel the Authority being used."Now then, here is what I strongly suggest you three do. You will go about your day as normal. Otto, Scar, that means you two are done with this mission. Clearly, I cannot trust you two to treat her as you should any other guest,” he continued."With all due respect, Advisor, the Alpha ordered us to keep an eye on her,” Scar remarked.“Then you can explain to him why you aren’t watching over her, should he ask about it. As for you, Fatima, as I had mentioned, you are already on thin ice as is. Even if my son is cursed and this young lady does turn out to not be his mate, do not ever mistake that as to mean you are free to do as you please. There are actions that can break the Merge just as easily as anything else. Some of your own Advisors are
Fenris ran as fast as he could in his wolf form through the woods. Not in any woods in the human world, but that in his original home, the werewolf world. After he was contacted by Scar about securing Christen and bringing her to this world, he rushed though a multitude of his work in LLC- about a few weeks’ worth- and took some time off. A long vacation, to be exact.‘About damn time that two took acton. Why couldn’t they bring her here earlier?’ he wondered, slightly annoyed by the time it took. Not as annoyed as one other thing. The one thing he had been trying to either forget or make sense of. ‘Christen… Did She really cheat on me? Did she really sleep with other men?'That had been on his mind for these past several days, ever since his visit to Damien. While he no longer believes in the stuff that comes out of the conniving werewolf’s mouth, when the werewolves at the station confirmed his bit about Christen having sex with other men, he didn’t knew what to think. He thought s
Fenris sat by Christen’s beside, watching the human as she slept. This was not the first time he had watched her sleep, having let her nap a few times during their meetings, letting her use his lap as a pillow. And each time he watched he sleeping face- a face that used to be relaxed- he would always feel at ease. Knowing that the person he loves is at peace.This time? It was different. Her sleeping face was no longer anything peaceful, as it was now filled with terror. Her brows furrowed, face was pale, and he could even hear bits of whimpering from her. While the multiple scents on her did bother him greatly, it didn’t bother him as much as the expression she was having now, or the one she had before. When she screamed looking at his face.‘Christen... What happened to you? Why did you react that way to me?' he wondered. 'If it was guilt for cheating on me, I guess I would understand. But that reaction was far too much to be that.’ He ran a hand across his face in wonder. ‘Did I no
The sound of wind blowing brought Christen back from her forced slumber, as she opened her eyes to the darkness of night. Her mind raced, as she tried to recall what happened to her last.‘I was knocked out again, wasn’t I?’ she guessed, reaching a hand up to her head. ‘But why? Last I remember-‘ She stopped herself, eyes gone wide and face paled, upon recalling what occurred before she had blacked out. Mainly, when the door to the room opened, and he stood there. She slowly looked around the room, hoping he wasn’t in, or that the figure she saw was not actually him. Sadly, as she turned to the door on her left, there he sat. On a chair, with his arms crossed, and head limped down, breathing slowly in deep sleep.Seeing his face again after so long, Christen was both frightened and relieved to see him. The fright from the fact that she was seeing the one man she never wanted to see again, who gave her false hope in the worst way possible. Played with her heart in a way she didn't wan
Fenris was just in the bathroom, using the toilet as any person would. When he heard a strange sound, he didn’t think much of it; only assumed it to be the snowstorm outside. Until after he flushed and proceeded to wash his hands, when he heard something open from his room. After a quick rinse, Fenris barged out the bathroom to his room, where he found his mate out of bed, in the balcony.“CHRISTEN!”He ran as fast as he could to her, reaching a hand out to grab her, pull her away from the ledge, only to come short, as Christen jumped, falling to the ground below."Christen!" he cried out once more, just as the wind blew stronger. He wanted to jump down after her, but chose against it. For one thing, he could accidentally land on her. Worse, frighten her once he lands unscathed from the high jump, or recover fast from it.‘I don’t want to scare her,’ he thought, turning away from the ledge, and froze. ‘I don’t want to scare her… But I also don’t want to lose her!’ At that thought, he
