Hey! So I'm back in the Blood and Chocolate scene to all of you who read my previous one that I stopped, and to those of you new readers, Welcome! :) Personally I think this version is much better than my old one cause since I wrote that one my writing style, and everything has increased a lot! Reviews are greatly appreciated.(: **I know some of the stuff is OOC, but I'm not Annette so I can't write them the exact same way! Personally I think that if Viv and the other characters were exactly the same it'd be boring! But hey that's me!** Much love, Christina. Xo
Vivian jumped out the window after her mate, relishing the feel of being outside and of being her once more. Two weeks seemed like such a long time to the young loup garou. The sound of Gabriel's feet hitting the ground seconds after hers brought her out of her thoughts. She turned to face him and he took her small hand in his large one.
"Vivian are you sure you want to do this?" His voice was thick with his want but it also held a trace of concern for her. Looking into his eyes, she knew that even if she turned him down tonight, he would wait for her as long as it took…yet she still found herself nodding. "Normally we would uhm, go out to the woods and do this but since I'm sure you don't want pups yet…we better stay close so we can have the needed protection."
Vivian blushed but nodded, "Gabe I'm sorry. I know how much you want pups, and it's not like I just don't want them…I'm not ready yet. I'm sorry. But thanks for understanding." He smiled at her sweetly, and then offered his hand, which she took. He led her past the creek running through the edge of the woods and a little further away into a small meadow.
He stopped just inside the little clearing and quickly unbuttoned his pants sliding them off as he began to talk, "You do remember the way of the mating dance?"
"Of course, I've known it since I was thirteen," Vivian stated simply, quite proud of being able to keep the tremor out of her voice. Gabriel walked over to her wrapping his strong arms around her body, pulling her close.
"Vivian if you don't want to do this we don't have to. We can wait. I don't want you to be afraid of me," His voice was soothing and she felt herself relaxing into his embrace.
"I want to do this Gabe…I've just never done this before," In the darkness Vivian bit her lip and nestled her head farther into his chest.
His laughter shook her frail body and he pulled back from her so that he could look into her eyes. "I'll help you." His voice was husky with desire and his lips crashed against hers. She kissed him back with a fierce intensity.
The two changed into their Loup Garou forms and circled each other, taking their time to complete the ritual. Vivian ran in circles teasing Gabriel, until finally he caught her and sent them both flying to the ground. She was shocked back into her human form, and he quickly changed back to join her.
She crashed her lips against his, the feel of his hot hard body pressing against hers making her not want to wait anymore. He pulled away and trailed kissed down her neck, she groaned when he hit a really sensitive spot and bit down. He smiled and his lips found hers once more.
After a little while of just messing around Gabriel pulled back a little bit. "Vivian are you ready?" She bit her lip and nodded. After putting on the condom, he lined himself up at her entrance and slowly pushed into her. She cried out in pain as her barrier broke, he stopped and let her adjust. Finally she nodded, giving him the okay to continue.
He pulled out and continued to thrust in and out of her. Their moans got heavy and Vivian soon reached her climax. Soon after that Gabriel exploded into her and his body collapsed on top of hers. He quickly rolled off and pulled her to his chest.
Kissing the top of her head he whispered, "I love you my queen."
She sighed in contentment, "I think I love you too." He chuckled and the two of them drifted off to sleep holding on to one another.
Vivian awoke to the faint light of the sun rising over the tree line. She groaned and tried to roll over, she couldn't move. She looked down, a pair of muscular arms was wrapped around her waist.
"Good morning my sweet," a husky voice whispered from behind her. Vivian forcefully turned to face him, Gabriel's smiling face looked down at her. Last night came back to Vivian in brief flashes. The story he told her. Getting unstuck. Running from him in the woods. Talking to him about her feelings. And finally making love to him and falling asleep in his arms.
"Vivian? What's wrong?" Gabriel asked, his facial expression going from happy to concerned.
"Nothings wrong," she sighed, "I was just thinking about last night." When she spoke about last night she felt a slight pain in areas that have never hurt before.
"Well then, we should probably head back to your house. So that way when Esme wakes up she doesn't notice you're gone," Gabriel said and stood up stretching himself out as he did so. Vivian noticed a small collection of scratches up and down his arms, she looked down at herself and noticed similar markings all over her body. Oh great, now everyone's gonna know what happened Vivian thought to herself.
Vivian stood up and extended her limbs, noting the pain once again. She took Gabriel's outstretched hand and followed him to the edge of the clearing. They snuck across the yard and quickly climbed up the side of the house into Vivian's room. Gabriel pulled on his shirt, while Vivian put back on the discarded robe from last night.
"What happens now Gabe?" her voice was soft and it rang slowly around the small room. Gabriel turned and looked at her.
Walking forward he began to talk. "We leave in two days for Vermont. Well I do, I'm going early. We have to tell the pack about us." He stopped in front of her. "The sooner the better. You can come to Vermont with me. We can get to know each other more. They'll expect pups soon, but it doesn't always happen on the first try so we can drag it out."
Vivian sighed, "Okay. I'd love to go with you. It's not that I don't want pups, it's I'm just not ready. I'm only seventeen, and I'm still in high school."
"I understand my queen," He said placing his hand on her cheek lightly. Vivian leaned towards him, and right before their lips met there was a pounding on the door and Esme's voice shouting in.
"Shit," Vivian whispered pushing Gabe towards the window. "Get out of here!" He jumped out the window just as the pounding began again.
Vivian walked to the door ripping it open before Esme could start screaming. "Mom!" She hugged her mother who had tears streaming down her face.
"Baby I think we need to talk," Esme said after she pulled back, with a huge grin on her face.
Vivian sighed, "About what?"
"I know you just changed back and all, which you'll have to tell me about later, but about Gabe!"
Vivian groaned as Esme pulled her towards her bed. The two of them sat down facing each other.
"The packs been talking about having another bitch's dance if you didn't accept him by last night. He wants you to be his queen and he's willing to wait, so he's been fighting to give you time but no one else wants to. So if they do have another bitches dance, or do make him choose it'll end up being you anyway, so just be open to him. Please for me baby?"
"I'll try to be more open to the idea," Vivian said as she bit her lip trying to stifle her smile. "I don't make any promises though!"
Esme laughed, "I wouldn't expect anything else. You are my pup after all!" The older Loup garou stood up, "Get ready and then come down. We'll go out to breakfast and celebrate." She left the room, shutting the door behind her.
"It's gonna be a long day," Vivian mumbled as she stood up and walked to her dresser to grab clothes. Pulling out a pair of 'All Time Low' booty shorts and a white tank top, along with a black thong and bra.
She made her way to the bathroom and took a long shower, taking her time to shave. Vivian dried off and got dressed, then looked at herself in the mirror. Little red scratches were up and down her arms, and she had a love bite on her shoulder.
She made her way back to her room and grabbed a black hoodie from her drawer to conceal the marks. After applying just a little bit of concealer, mascara, and lip gloss she pulled her tawny blonde hair into a tight ponytail. (A/N I know it'd be slight OOC for Vivian to do this, but since she's just coming back to her human form I think it be something different!)
Voices from the living room reached her as she started to walk down the stairs. Esme, and Rudy were sitting on the couch talking animatedly about her.
"I thought my ears were ringing," Vivian said with a chuckle as she walked the rest of the way into the room.
Rudy smiled at her, "Glad to have you back Viv."
"Glad to be back," She smiled back at him. "Ready to go Esme?" The two of them left the house, and walked down town towards a little diner next to Tooley's.
"If it isn't the Gandillion ladies," The owner Mary Kay said smiling at them, "What can I get for you?"
The two of them sat down at the bar, "I'll have the steak and eggs. Rare, and scrambled. With orange juice, and a side of home fries." Vivian said.
"Same here," Esme said and Mary Kay nodded before walking back into the kitchen and talking loudly to the cook. "So Vivie, what happened last night that made you turn back?" She said this in a nonchalant voice and without any words that would completely give it away.
"I just went for a run under the moon and then found myself changed forward, and then I changed back." Vivian's tone was also one of nonchalance.
Esme nodded, "Well I'm glad your back. Everyone missed you."
"Indeed we did," The deep voice of Gabriel said from behind them making them both jump. Vivian and Esme turned to look at him, both surprised they hadn't noticed his approached. "Esme, Vivian." He smiled at them both, giving Vivian a quick wink.
Vivian sighed, the whole situation was much more real here in the diner in the early morning hours. A quick nudge from Esme brought her out of her thoughts and she opened her mouth to speak, "Hi." Her voice was soft even to her own ears
"Do you mind if I join you?"
Vivian blushed, as Esme nodded her okay and Gabriel sat beside Vivian. Mary Kay came out and took Gabriel's order then went back to the kitchen leaving them alone.
"When do you leave for Vermont?" Esme asked leaning against the counter so she could see him.
"I leave tomorrow, and Bucky is coming up the day after. Vivian would you be interested in going up with me?" She laughed softly at his question repeated from earlier so someone heard him ask.
She looked at Esme as if asking for permission; she nodded eagerly and waggled her eyebrows at Vivian who turned back to Gabriel. "Sure I'd like that."
Mary Kay brought their food out, all threes at once, and they ate in silence. Vivian finished first and just sat there staring down at the empty plate in front of her.
Out of the corner of her eye she looked at Gabriel, who was watching her fidget nervously with a smile on his face. She looked away quickly trying to hide the blush that rose to her cheeks.
She wanted Gabriel, she knew she did, but the fact of already having surrendered and now having to learn and live a completely new life still terrified her. Gabriel was so much different than anyone she'd had before, they had all been boys, where as he was a man. Then there was the way Vivian felt about me the new Queen Bitch, it scared the shit out of her. But it wasn't like she could, or would let anyone see it for the simple fact that they would jump on it and rip her apart.
Vivian didn't know what to do, so she sat there glaring at her plate like it was its fault she was so screwed up in the head right now.
"Earth to Vivian!" Her head snapped up at her mother's voice. "I have to go to work now baby, you can get back on your own right?"
She nodded, "I'm not five mom." Esme rolled her eyes, and stood up.
With a quick kiss to her daughters forehead, and "Clearly. You were much nicer then! I'll see you tonight!" She was walking out the door, leaving Vivian alone with Gabriel.
She turned to him, unsure of what to say and do but trying all the same not to let it show. He smiled at her, "If you're going with me to Vermont you should probably finish packing. I can drive you home, and help if you want." His offer hung in the air between them, until finally she smiled and gave a small nod.
"I'd like that."
"You say that a lot," Gabriel stated matter of factly. She just shrugged and stood up, soon followed by him. He added his money to the money Esme had put down and the two of them walked out of the diner.
Gabriel's black Harley was parked alongside the curb. She watched as he slung his leg over the bike, and then turned to her expectantly. She climbed on behind him, as he brought the engine to life. She wrapped her arms around his waist, tightly but not overly so, as he pulled away from the curb.
Her hair blew behind her in the wind as they drove the short distance back to her house. To soon the bike came to a stop in front of the porch and she jumped off before anyone who happened to be around could see her holding him tightly. Yes she accepted him, but everyone didn't have to know…yet.
The two of them entered the house, and climbed the stairs to Vivian's room. None of her stuff was packed yet, so they had a lot of work to do.
"You want to do your clothes or should I?" Gabriel asked as he waggled his eyebrows at her.
She growled at him playfully, "You'd enjoy that too much." His hearty laughter filled the room as Vivian grabbed the three suitcases she owned, two black ones and a silver one, and laid them on her bed. She began to empty her clothes drawers, neatly refolding everything and putting it in.
"What should I do?"
"Esme put boxes in the corner, start filling them with the stuff from my bookshelves," Vivian pointed to the corner where the aforementioned boxes were. The two of them worked in silence until Vivian was finished, and looked up noticing that Gabriel was no longer working but instead looking through her diary.
"What the hell?" She shouted as she lunged at him trying to get the book back but failing miserably as he held it above his head and stared down at her. "Give it back!" Her voice was a hiss, and if it had been anyone else she was talking to like that they would have flinched and done as she said.
"Did you really feel like that?" He sounded hurt, and she wondered exactly what she had written.
"Feel like what?"
"I quote, exactly one week after the fire. Gabriel is such an ass! He should have saved him, but no he was only worried about himself. And now my life is hell because of him, my father. He's gone, and he isn't coming back! It's not fair. I still can't believe he's gone, and stupid Gabriel's here. I wish he had died instead of my father…I hate him…"
She flinched as she recalled the words she had written so long ago, when she had been filled with agony and grief, wanting nothing but to have her dad appear and tell her it would be alright as he held her in his arms, but knowing it could never happen.
"I did at one point," Vivian said looking him in the eye. If he couldn't understand she had been filled with grief, and taken her anger out on him then he could….
"Is that why you wouldn't let me in?"
She groaned, "Do we have to talk about this now? Why does it matter? You got what you wanted, I accepted you so why does it matter!"
"I have to know," His voice was still soft and his eyes held hers.
"Yes! That's why I wouldn't let you in! That and because I thought you were a pompous ass hole! I was mad at the world, still am if I tell you the truth! But that doesn't matter because I know now that I love you damn it!" Her eyes flashed viciously as she thought of the hatred she still felt to some many people. But she knew that she had been wrong to feel that hatred for him, it had never been his fault, and now she had fallen and she had fallen hard.
He dropped her diary and enveloped her face in his hands as he pushed his lips against hers in a moment of frustration, and passion. She kissed him back eagerly letting out all of her pent out frustration as his wild scent filled her nostrils.
Her hands tangled in his hair as his wrapped around her waist pulling her body closer to his. His tongue ran across her bottom lip asking for entrance which she happily granted. Their tongues danced together in a battle for control until Vivian was breathless and had to pull back.
"We should probably get back to packing," Gabriel said, his voice huskier than normal. Vivian nodded but neither of them made to move away. Gabriel chuckled and unwrapped his arms from around her as he turned back to the shelves in front of him. He placed her diary in the book and continued to pack.
Two hours later; They finished packing and decided to tell the pack they were together at the meeting that is to take place as of like now…
"Alright everyone let's call this meeting to order!" Gabriel's deep voice rang out through the living room at Rudy's for the last pack meeting they would hold here. The room fell silent except for the quiet laughing of the five at something one of them had said.
"Now as you all know Vivian is back," There were some cheers and catcalls when he said this. "But we also have more news for you, so Vivian if you could explain?"
She cleared her throat and stood up going to join to her mate beside the fireplace. Her voice was soft, yet so strong as she began to speak. "Last night as you all know was the second full moon since the ordeal, that would mean if I had not yet accepted Gabriel he would be forced to choose a new mate."
She let them all think about that for a moment before she continued. "As you all probably noticed last night Gabriel was absent from your run, that's because he was with me." Some gasps were heard around the room as what she had interpreted sunk in. "Last night I accepted Gabriel, and now join him as Queen Bitch."
There was silence all around the room until the five, now four, stood up and approached Vivian. They all took turns hugging her and offering, though somewhat sadly, congratulations to their friend.
"If there are no questions, then we will continue this meeting." No one said anything so Gabriel continued, "As you all know I leave for Vermont tomorrow to begin preparations on the Inn and finish signing the papers."
"Will Vivian be joining you?" Everyone turned and looked at Persia Daily who was the asker of the question. She had a knowing glint in her eye that made Vivian shiver.
"Yes she will, and then Bucky will join us the day after. We have narrowed it down to three names for the Inn and we wish to vote on them tonight. Any objections?" No one objected so Gabriel continued. "The Moonlight Inn, The Wolf Inn, or The Inn of The Wind."
Everyone voted on their favorite, and the winner was… "Well it was close but we will now be running The Moonlight Inn." The five cheered as they had been the ones to originally suggest the name.
Gabriel cleared his throat and the room fell silent once more. "Now I have no more to say so unless any of you has anything you are free to go." No one said anything so they got up and began to mill around talking or leaving.
A very pissed off Esme approached Gabriel and Vivian. "I ate breakfast with the two of you and you didn't tell me! My own daughter didn't tell me she mated! Vivian we even had that talk this morning!" She looked like she was about to cry causing guilt to course through Vivian who looked at Gabriel for help.
"Esme please forgive us, I asked Vivian not to tell anyone so we could tell you as a pack. If it's anyone's fault it is mine."
Esme sighed, "Fine I understand. But damn it, I better be the first to find out when she gets pregnant!" Vivian gulped and stared after her mother who had walked away and was now talking to Tomas, the new comer who she had been seeing since the ordeal.
Gabriel left Vivian to go talk to Bucky who had motioned for him, so Vivian was left standing there alone at the front of the room. That is until Persia Daily came over to her.
"Vivian you understand the responsibility that comes with being alpha female, but I must warn you. Things are going to happen, and much is going to change. You will face much in a short time to come and you must be ready. You will have to break promises, and befriend your enemies if you are to succeed."
Vivian nodded nervously, "I wish you could tell me what you mean, but I know you can't so there's no use bugging you about it." The older Loup garou laughed, patting Vivian on the arm before walking away.
Vivian sighed as she approached the steps, sitting on the bottom one and looking around at the room that was still relatively packed, it was going to be a lot to get used to and she felt deep down that she wasn't going to have as much time as she would have liked.
Whatcha think about it?(: Review and let me know. x3 Alrightys thank ye!
