Loss:Rhett had sent Winter away after hours of her pacing in the hospital room. She gripped about it but they both did not need to be there. She also needed to give control back to Waverly. Aldric had been sleeping for about three hours now. Everytime he let out a noise or moved slightly, Rhett found himself jumping up. He let out a long sigh as he jumped up for the fifth time in the last hour. He really needed to stop making so much noise. He grumbled to himself. A nurse came in to check his vitals, she was younger and fragile looking. Aldric really wanted him to train someone like her. Someone who could probably be broken in half. What if she got to thinking she could actually do something to someone with training. She could risk her life trying to be brave because of it. Rhett let out a grunt thinking about it. The nurse’s eyes flickered to him wondering what the noise was about.“He’s very brave.” She said softly. “Hmm?” Rhett asked, not sure what she was talking about.“The Alp
Shut up: Rhett stood up. He looked down at Aldric almost debating with himself about leave. He had to go be the Alpha. He needed to let Samuels family know he didn't make it. They didn't even know he had returned from the mission or that it had gone south. He knew that they knew every time he left there was a risk but this mission was supposed to be easy. He sighed deeply, something keeping his feet glued to the spot on the floor next to Aldric’s bedside. This man had entered his life suddenly and for the first time in his life he was confused. He let out a long sigh. He wished he could mindlink Waverly and have her come here but after the car wreck battle he knew she needed rest. “Luke?” Rhett mindlinked him, something was telling him not to leave Aldric alone. He didn't know what but something in the pit of his stomach was making him upset about leaving him. These emotions were getting to be too much lately. Maybe Mom was right? He thought smirking at the fact his brain had just c
Opportunity: Natalie watched Rhett leave. She looked around quickly. No one was going into the room with him. This was her opportunity. She didn't have the medication ready. It was a controlled substance and it was locked up. She needed something that would stop his heart. Something subtle. She wasn't prepared. Wolfsbane injected would kill him almost instant but she didn't have any made up in liquid form right now. She rushed down the hall heading to the controlled room. It seemed like it was taking forever. She turned down one hall, trying to walk fast but nonchalantly so she would not draw any attention to her. Seeing the door and no one around she let out the breath she had been holding in. Everything was logged and counted for. She would have to be smart about this. She walked calmly into the controlled room. She was debating on breaking the lock off so it would be like someone broke in and stole it. She was trying to think of a way to link it to the rogue attacks. That was goi
Sorry: Rhett got to Samuel’s home and he felt his heart drop. He hated this part of his job. He didn't have to do it often but when he did, it hurt. He took a deep breath getting out of his car, his stomach twisted, he felt nauseous. He was about to tell a mother her son wasn’t coming home. His chest tightened. He walked up the concert steps, each step he took felt like it weighed a hundred pounds. He told himself he needed to stop feeling and be an Alpha. He reached the door and he let out a long breath trying to clear the heaviness in his chest. He brought his arm up and knocked on the door. The sound of his knuckles bouncing off the wound echoed loudly. Seconds later an older woman opened the door. The same deep dark brown curls and blue eyes of samuels looked back at him. “Alpha? You honor us with your visit. Please come in.” Julie said, opening the door for Rhett to come in. “Miles, bring the Alpha something to drink.” Julie yelled into her home. “We can go sit in the li
Nerves: Winter was having trouble letting Waverly take back control. Winter kept waiting for the next attack. She was pacing in the front yard of the houses where her pack were currently living. She had gone into protective over drive and it wasn't turning off. Images of past attacks flashing through her head. Derrick being torn apart. Winter felt panic. She was going to run to the border. Winter you have to let me back. Waverly tried reaching out to her. No must protect. Winter snapped. We can protect together but you need to let me come back, the pack needs me. Waverly said calmly to her wolf.. No pack needs me. Winter growled and sprinted toward the outlining trees. Winter! What the hell are we doing! Waverly yelled at her. Patroling, The Other Alpha is stupid. Winter growled. If we shift back I can explain to him what to expect and prepare them. Us running around all night isn't going to do anything for anyone. It’s going to exhaust us and if someone does attack we are n
Want: Rhett decided sitting down would be best. Everytime he tried to wait standing up he would begin pacing. He was on his fifth glass of bourbon and it wasn’t helping. He needed to focus on something to take his mind off while he waited. He looked over the map Luke had out. He had marked off possible areas he thought would be vulnerable. Luke’s words of they would need more men to cover each area well, echoed in his mind. How was he going to get more people? The office door opens slowly. Before he could even look up to see who it was he knew. Aldric’s scent hit him. An intense rush swept over him, he shut his eyes tightly as he waited for it to pass. He felt like the world swayed but it could be the bourbon hitting him. “Are you stupid?” Aldric asked, shutting the door. Rhett’s eyes snapped out as he glared across the room at Aldric. Who the fuck did he think he was? A small growl lingered in the back of his throat. “I could ask you the same thing.” Rhett growled back at him.
After: Waverly stood at the hole in the fence. She looked out into the darkness wondering why he just built a normal fence on this side instead of a reinforced one. She studied the sides of the fence; it had definitely been cut. She sighed, touching the sharp edges. She knew in her gut that this is where it would all start. One single attack would lead to what would feel like hundreds. She prayed Rhett would listen. Something stirred out in the darkness or at least that's what her body was telling her. Her hair on her arms and the back of her neck were standing on its ends. She felt Winter pull on her wanting her to shift. Winter wanted to protect them. Waverly ignored the pull. She squinted, peering into the darkness. She grabbed a hold of the sharp metal fencing leaning into the darkness. She stepped forward with her foot just crossing the threshold. She was trying to see but felt safer as long as one foot was still one safe territory, Something was out there. Something was wat
Stop: Rhett leaned back in his chair sighing. He rubbed his face propping his feet up on his desk. He was absolutely exhausted. Physically and mentally. He felt his eyes growing heavy and he closed them for a second. He needed sleep. Just when he thought it was going to rest for a second the door to his office kicked open. Rhett sat up not sure who would dare enter his office in such a manner. As quickly as the door was opened it slammed shut. Aldric stood in his office. Rhett stood up and said he couldn't do this again. He went to yell at him but was taken back. Aldric stood in the doorway shirtless. Rhett’s eyes traveled down his defined pecs and chiseled abs. He felt his hand twitched wanting to run his fingers across them. Aldric’s pants were hanging extra low on his waist revailing V- shape lines that were like arrows pointing to his bulge that he could see even with his jeans on. “What? Why are you back here?” Rhett asked, trying to become angry as he rounded the desk. Aldr
