Whiskey.
We laid silently for hours, side by side, neither one of us speaking. It was strangely comfortable.
“Whiskey?” Gunner’s voice whispered, breaking the silence.
“Yes?” I whispered back. He took a deep breath and shuffled on the spot,
“I want to take you back with me, to my pack” he said quietly. I rolled over onto my side to face him. He was layin
Zelena. I know fear. I lived my whole life with fear. It has shaken me to my very core, and attached itself to every inch of me. But the kind of fear that was currently swarming through my stomach, was something I have never experienced before. Before now, fear was all about me. What if he kills me, what if he disfigures me, what if I never escape him. Then after I found Gunner, it became, what if he doesn’t love me, what if he tires of me, what if I lose him. And now, I no longer matter. Everything is for them. What could this prophecy mean for them, will it hurt them, how can they be protected from it. A million and one possible terrible things ran through my mind in quick succession. Disaster after disaster. And my two sweet and beautiful children right in the centre of it all. I looked up at Lunaya. She was sitting on the edge of her seat, watching all of the emotions flicker across my face. I took a deep breath, my lungs burned with the force
Zelena.“Yes, you are in the picture. So is your sister” Lunaya said as she looked up to meet my gaze. What? I furrowed my brows and shook my head.“I'm sorry. What?” I blurted blankly.“The reason that I know you can’t break a prophecy, the reason your dad became so protective, it’s because we’ve already tried it. And we failed” she answered,
Zelena. I stood at the head of the table, holding baby B. in my arms. Tobias sat to my right, with little G. happily asleep in his arms. Next to him was Lunaya and Alyse, then Felix. On my Left was Smith, taking on his new Beta role. Next to him was Lupus, Roe and Nat. I debated calling Daniel, Gunner named him Delta before he left. I would have thought that he’d give Felix the title, seeing as how experience and trusted he is. But Felix is the head commander now, he can’t be head commander and pack Delta. I like Daniel well enough, he seems capable and smart, I just don’t know him too well yet. This is about my pups, and I won’t tell just anyone about this, regardless of their rank. Only the ones I deeply trust. Felix fits into that box, Daniel doesn’t, at least not yet.
Zelena. I looked around at the faces waiting for my answer. “The libraries” I said with as much certainty as I could force. “We need to search the library. But not just ours, we will have to branch out to our closest allies too. We need to find any mention of prophecies, fortunes, visions, or anything similar that could help us” “Luna Eclipse has a Seer”
Aurora. “Why won’t you change?” Gunner huffed annoyed. I wanted to answer, I needed to answer. But there was an invisible rope, tying my gaze to his creamy skin and the thick rod between his legs. I swear I could taste him already. Musky, yet sweet. I can see myself running my tongue over those deep crevasses that are his abs. “Whiskey, we need to get down the mountain, it will be quicker to do that in wolf form” he said with a touch of frustration in his tone. Yet I still couldn’t look away. I was positively spellbound. “Fuckin’ hell. Whiskey!” he sna
Aurora. The passenger door swung open and Gunner sat back upright in the driver's seat, “You coming, or what?” he asked with a smile. I carefully climbed into the seat and shut the door. I looked at Gunner as he started up the engine and backed out of the shrub and trees that the car had been half hidden amongst. “Where exactly are we going?” I asked him. He turned to look at me quickly before looking back at the darkening road.
Aurora. What the fuck, he had it, he won, why would he let it go? “I apologise friend, we did not mean to trespass on your land. My companion became lost” Gunner said to the other beast. The wolf struggle to its feet and tilted its head back, then howled into the sky. Great, now every fucking wolf in a five kilometre radius will be coming for us. The small beast stepped back, and then it too stood up on two human legs. “State your business” the man demanded. He was on the older side, maybe early fifties. Though he was still in good shape, he had lived a rough life. His skin was painted with battle scars. The older man was grasping at his side, fresh blood was slowly seeping through his fingers.
Aurora. I tightened my grip on Gunner’s side, digging my fingernails into his flesh. Gunner stared at Doyle, and Doyle stared back at Gunner. I looked around us, we were still surrounded. At a quick glance I counted nine, ten including the Alpha. Should be easy to take them. I've taken down more than this on my own before. But Gunner doesn’t seem like the type to get scared at just anyone. He called these ones mercenaries. I've never heard of Werewolf mercenaries. I wonder if the hunters knew about them. Probably not, or else they would have extinguished them by now. Human mercenaries earn their reputation, similar to that of a hunter clan. I can only assume that wolf mercenaries work the same way. And by the look of Gunner, this pack have built themselves one hell of a reputation.
