Red Woods:Jace pulled the car into the pack house driveway at Red Woods. Asher and Sarah came out the front door eager to see Nora. Nora gritted her teeth. There was something deep in her stomach telling her something was wrong. She couldn't tell if it was the chaos going in the Red Woods pack or something more. Her stomach knotted as he looked at Jace. She didn't want to leave him, she felt unsure of what her body was trying to tell her.Jace looked over studying her, he could feel the rollercoaster of emotions she was on. He reached over taking his hand in hers and squeezed it. He brought to his lips kissing the back of her hand softly.“As soon as you're done, I will be back to get you, promise. I would stay if I didn’t need to get back to our pack.” Jace said his lips brushing against the back of her hand as he talked.“I know. I ..I just feel like something is coming. Something bad.” Nora said worriedly.“Whatever it is, we will face it together.” Jace said, pressing his lips to

Be Merry:“Let him hang there for a second.” Bruce snickered as he began walking to the pack house.Bruce walked into the pack house like he had just accomplished something grand. Matt was still holding the rope. The only thing holding Jace up at this point. Douglas sighed and shook his head as he walked inside as well. Dante came to Jace's side,he grabbed a hold of his hands and looped them around his neck. He then nodded to Matt to let go of the rope. Matt did and Jace crashed onto Dante.“Just let me fall.” Jace groaned. “Shut up.” Dante grumbled back to him.“Matt, we need to get the wolf's bane off of him so he can start healing. It’s what's making him feel so bad.” Dante said, supporting Jace’s weight.“Tell me to shut up again.” Jace growled.Dante’s forearm skin grazed Jace’s back, the wolfbane burning into his flesh. He winced heavily trying not to drop Jace as the pain shot through him. Matt rushed over and undid his hands."Just let me go." Jace growled again l.“We need w

Shifting:Nora walked out of the bathroom and down the hall. She walked fast and quickly through the hall. Their only way out was to walk in the way she came. She had forgotten for a second that she was in charge and had power. She didn't need to sneak out. She was just going to leave. She walked into the hall, the pack members standing as she entered. Asher looked concerned. She smiled at him as she began walking to the front door. “Alpha.” Asher called after her. “I have something i need to attend to everyone eat, drink and enjoy yourself.” Nora said walking to the door sending out her alpha aura letting them know it was a command. Asher had started to follow her but like a wave was hit by her aura and was forced to follow it. She walked to the door pulling it open. The night air hit her and she looked around. She needed a car. She needed to get to Jace now. She was starting to panic. She wanted to be at Cross River now. She felt Zara press against her skin. Nora felt funny, her

Reunited: “So you're going to tell me what happened?” Sarah sighed as Dante wrapped his arms around her.“Alpha likes to push his limits by doing so he insulted a higher Alpha. They punished him. He didn't want Nora finding out because he was unsure how that would go.” Dante said, kissing the top of her head.“I’m glad you're back.” He said, leaning down and nuzzling into her neck.“Yeah well things are rocky over there. Nora just announced titles, commanded everyone to deal with it and took off.” Sarah said sumariing everything.“Ok..”Dante said quietly.“There are a few men in the pack that don't want change. Nora made an example out of one of them tonight but I think that will only keep them at bay for so long..I think something big might happen. Nora is doing good at keeping everyone in line when she is there. Asher is doing a great job but he doesn't have the power of an Alpha.” Sarah explained trying to ignore the tiny tingles Dante’s touch was giving her. “How about here? Wha

Shiver: “Asher, how is everything going?” Nora mindlinked him, sitting on the edge of her and Jace’s bed. “Everything is going good Alpha, What happened is everything ok?” Asher responded relieved to hear from her. “Jace was injured by the Alpha council, it's what I was feeling. Everything is ok now, for the most part.” Nora responded. “Injured?” Asher asked curiously. “Apparently if you insult them, there is some medieval tradition of whipping people.” Nora said growling through mindlink, Zara stirring in her becoming angry thinking about her mate being injured. Jace heard her growling, He came over to the bed and sat behind her straddled her sides with his legs and pulled her back against his chest. She immediately felt better and nuzzled into his chest. “Mmm, they can be a bit extreme. Jace ok?” Asher asked, “Extreme is right. My wolf wanted to destroy them, it was hard to hold her back. Jace is fine now. You wouldn't even know it happened. He was back trying to piss them o
