Paul drops down out of the tree on top of Scott smearing the dye across the shocked wolf's throat. He rolls to the ground and darts around a snarling Danny quickly striking him in 3 spots as he passes. Swearing from the wolves filling the forest as he darts in to the darkness. He rubs his scent on a tree and turns to leap up in to one on the other side of the narrow trail when he hears a noise to his right. He ducks missing Peter's swipes and lashes out his hand painting a bright mark on Peter's thigh. Paul pivots kicking high in to the air where Peter's face should be. "Shit." He says to himself just as he's flung across the path. He hits the ground and rolls grunting slightly when he feels his shoulder pop. Peter is on him in the blink of an eye in full Beta shift. In an instant though he's backing away rubbing his eyes. Paul pockets the spray and presses a vile of water in to one of Peter's hands and says. "Love you." As Paul dashes away he faintly hears Peter chuckle.
Breathing heavy Paul pauses several minutes later. He tries to roll his left shoulder gritting his teeth and grunting in pain. Left shoulders always been fucked. He thinks thinking briefly back to Mark and his friends torturing him. Sensing the presence he lashes out whirling around. Kyle blocks his hand and strikes back punching him in the chest. The human staggers back a few steps and feints right. Kyle moves to intercept and catches a face full of powder. His eyes bulge and he drops to his knees gasping. Paul kneels. "Here baby." He says softly handing Kyle a vial of water. "Run." Kyle gasps out. "Love you." He kisses Paul on the cheek and shoves him away. Paul rushes in to the darkness. Several minutes later Isaac lunges at him from behind a tree. Paul throws several punches none of which land. He spins aiming a roundhouse to Isaac's mid-section figuring it wouldn't hit using the motion as a distraction He pulls another packet from his pocket and flails it at Isaac's face. In a blur of motion Isaac tears his shirt off and whips it through the cloud of powder while closing his eyes and mouth and ducking. He's mostly successful only feeling a slight stinging in his eyes and throat. When he opens his eyes though Paul has moved. His dye covered hands striking and leaving marks signifying dagger strikes down Isaac's side. He swings around behind Isaac going for his neck. Isaac throws an elbow back catching Paul in the side eliciting a yelp of pain. Knocked off balance Paul's killing blow hits Isaac on the shoulder blade. The wolfsbane infused dye causing muscle spasms and severely reducing the use of the wolfs left arm. The two trade blows for several moments. Isaac catches Paul with a surprise kick to the side and he crashes to the ground hard. He cries out as his shoulder dislocates. He lurches to his feet as Isaac closes in on him. Paul whimpers holding his arm feigning distress. When Isaac is within a few feet Paul's spins to face him bringing his good arm up brandishing his mace. "Circus peanuts!" Isaac yells holding his hands up. Paul drops the mace and stumbles. Isaac grabs him. "Baby I'm so sorry."
The other wolves who had been watching converge on them. "Hold him." Derek says. "I'm going to set it OK?" He says gently. Paul's pained eyes meet his and he nods. The other wolves step in and begin pulling the pain from their injured pack mate. With a jerk and a pop Paul's shoulder is put back where it belongs. Paul seizes crying out in pain before it flutters away. "You did great!" Stiles says happily. Paul chuckles. "I'm probably dead Stiles." "This is the first time you made it this far! You really gave Isaac a fight too!" Paul shrugs then winces in pain. "Your safe word still makes me laugh." Scott says scratching at the dye on his throat. "Best road trip candy there is." The human says with a laugh. Kyle snickers thinking back to their road trip back to California from Texas a little over a year ago. "Come on let's get back to the house. We'll need to get that shoulder looked at." Derek says. Paul sighs and lets them lead him back towards the house. "My favorite part was when Isaac ripped his shirt off." Stiles laughs at Paul. "Yeah I wish I could have got that on camera. The look on your face was pretty awesome."
"Well it's been a few months since you've been in here so I guess that's a good sign." Melissa says with a smirk. "No nerve damage so there shouldn't be any need for surgery. You should try and limit the use for a few weeks. Keep it in this sling as much as possible." Paul nods his head. "Should have seen him mom he took down 4 wolves before his mate dislocated his shoulder." Scott says with a laugh. Isaac growls and punches him in the shoulder. "It's not really his fault." Paul says with a laugh. "It's never really been 100% since…..Texas." the wolves all scowl. "Well the doctor has written you prescriptions for a muscle relaxer an anti-inflammatory, and pain to keep the swelling down. I imagine you'll heal pretty quickly so you may not need it. OK I have non supernatural related injuries waiting. You know the routine. Take care of him." She says pointing at Kyle and Isaac. "Call me if there are any problems." "Thanks mom." Scott says rubbing his shoulder. "Thanks." Paul says. "Don't mention it." She says with a smile patting him on the leg. With a smile directed at Isaac and Kyle she walks out of the room.
Soon Paul is wedged in between Isaac and Kyle in the back of Stile's Jeep heading back to the house. Isaac takes Paul's hand and strokes his fingers over it gently. Paul lays his head on Isaac's shoulder. "Don't be sad puppy. It was an accident." "I know." Isaac says softly. "Still sucks though. I hate it when you get hurt." "Necessary part of training. The more it happens the easier I'll be able to work through it." Isaac huffs softly and leans his head over pressing it against Paul's. "You looked really good though." "Thanks." Paul says lifting his arm so he can place a kiss on the back of Isaac's hand. "It felt good. Until you broke me anyway." "Hey!" Isaac exclaims. Paul and Kyle both laugh and pull Isaac over on to their laps tickling, poking and kissing him. The trios established treatment whenever any of them get too morose for no real reason.
Soon they are back at the house. "Shower then pizza!" Stiles says as he takes Derek's hand and leads him up the stairs. Everyone else groans but heads towards the stairs. "Probably a good idea even I can tell how much you all stink." Paul says bumping Scott playfully. Kyle grabs him and heads up the stairs carrying Paul like a new bride while he laughs and squirms. Isaac then grabs Kyle and lifts him in to the air and carries both of them up the stairs while everyone else laughs. "We're not saving you any if you get distracted. We ordered on the way so they should be here any minute." Danny says pulling Scott towards their bedroom. Eventually Paul, Kyle and Isaac are all in the shower. While the newness of their relationship has faded their intense love and devotion for one another is as strong as always. Paul as usual rolls his eyes and surrenders to Kyle and Isaac's pampering doing his best to also help clean them as they focus on him. Mindful of Danny's warning they avoid any sexcapades and are soon drying off. "Ugh. Can't believe I'm walking away from all this dick just for pizza." Paul says gesturing at Kyle and Isaac's erections. Isaac shrugs then looks at Kyle with an evil grin. Kyle smirks and says. "Better to walk and get pizza while you still can. Isaac and I plan to fuck you unconscious after dinner." "Fuck Kyle!" Paul whines. He gestures down at his erection showing prominently through the sweat pants he had slipped on. "You can't say stuff like that now I have to find something more discreet. You're both very bad boys." Kyle and Isaac both grin at each other obviously very pleased with themselves. Paul moves like he's going to walk out of the bathroom then drops to his knees and sucks Kyle's stiffness in to his mouth while grabbing Isaac's erection and stroking it firmly. Both wolfs freeze. Paul spends the next few minutes alternating between his two mates as they squirm and whimper. Plenty of practice has allowed Paul to know where both his mates are in relation to climax. He brings them both quite close then stops and stands up. "Oh I think I heard the doorbell." Paul says with a cackle as he runs out of the bathroom. Kyle and Isaac both crash out of their blissed out journey to squirt town and look at each other with disbelieving eyes. "Paul!" They both yell. The only reply they get is the sound of the bedroom door closing.
Once dressed the two find their mate sitting between Stiles and Scott at the table with a smile on his face. "They can't protect you forever." Kyle says with a laugh dropping down in to his chair. Paul looks innocently at them "What I can't sit with my Alpha's mate and big brother?" "We have seriously under estimated his capacity for evil." Isaac says with a smirk sitting down next to Kyle. He reaches a long leg out under the table and gently bumps Paul's foot. His human smiles back at him and hooks his foot around Isaac's ankle.
"So." Derek says clearing his throat slightly. "Any lessons learned tonight?" "He can climb a tree like a monkey." Scott says bumping Paul's leg with his. Derek smirks. "Anything that can be useful to Paul's training?" He clarifies. "You were distracted." Kyle says looking at Paul. When his mate looks at him with a questioning expression Kyle continues. "Before I jumped you….You were someplace else not paying attention." "Oh yeah. I uh…." Scott puts his hand comfortingly on Paul's shoulder. "My shoulder was hurting. I was just thinking back to how it initially got injured." "You OK?" Isaac says reaching across the table for Paul's hand. "Yeah…yeah. It was just a few seconds but….He's right it distracted me." Paul squeezes Isaac's hand then turns to Stiles. "I do feel like I'm getting better though." "You are." Derek says. "Your reflexes are quicker, your instincts are improving. Your senses are also a bit sharper. Why did you stand and fight though? You should have disabled him and got away." "Out of gas." Paul says. "I wouldn't have been able to run very far I was already exhausted. My shoulder already hurt." "We need to work on his cardio." Stiles says. "That's what's letting him down now before it was just the overall lack of skill. He's got skills now just needs a bigger gas tank." "I'll start running in the mornings before work. Provided there are no hunter wolves hiding in the tree's I should be fine." Isaac shakes his head with a frown. "I'll come with you." "Me too." Kyle says firmly. Paul opens his mouth to protest but nods instead. "We'll make a threesome of it then." He says with a grin. "Just be sure to get off the road before you invariably rip each other's clothes off. I don't want my Dad calling me again when people call in to report naked debauchery on the side of the road." Stiles says with a grin "No promises." Kyle says smirking.
Across town a bus pulls in to the Greyhound stop situated at a somewhat dated motel. A woman steps somewhat timidly off the bus looking around suspiciously before stepping away from the rest of the passengers waiting to gather their luggage from the luggage compartments. She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. She seems to grow in stature and presence. Were anyone close enough to see her face they would swear they saw her features shift slightly her appearance changing giving her a more regal, angular appearance.
"Here wolfie wolfie." She mutters under her breath before turning and heading towards the motel office.
