Alpha's call

Chapter 2

Clarke awoke alone, she had slept for a solid 5 hours. More than sleep than she had been able to get for over two weeks. It was a dreamless sleep which she was eternally thankful for, she scanned the cave around her. No wolf. She wondered for a moment if she had imagined the whole thing, she looked down at her wounded arm to confirmed the actions of the night before.

she spent most of the day trying to make the cave more habitable, the sun was just starting to fall behind the tall trees of the forest around her when she turned to look at the entrance to her new home. Stood there with a limp rabbit in its great jaws was the dark furred wolf from the night before.

"Ok… so definitely not making it up then" she said to herself more than to the wolf, the furred beast came closer dropping the dead rabbit at her feet.

"For me?" Clarke asked confused, the wolf nudged the dead animal with its large muzzle.

"Thank you" Clarke smoothed a hand through the warm fur of the wolfs head, as Clarke set about skinning the dead animal the wolf simply laid down next to the crackling fire. Its eyes fixed on the blond as she worked.

The meat sizzled gently over the flames as Clarke watched it, she had moved closer to the resting beast. Her hand moving softly over the wolfs furred back, its eyes closed softly. It wasn't until Clarkes hand moved slightly lower towards the beast's belly that the predator stirred and growled warningly. Clarkes eyes snapped away from the fire to eye the wolf wearingly.

"You don't like that?" Clarke saw the dominance in those green eyes, she's not sure what drew her to do it. But not breaking eye contact Clarke slowly lowered her hand again towards the great beast's stomach, within a second Clarke found herself lying flat on her back the wolf stood above her its low growl shaking the ground below them. Still their eyes stayed fixed.

Clarke panted harshly, she wasn't scared of the animal above her though she didn't know why not. And then the strangest feeling overcame her, the need to submit to the beast. She showed her neck in submission, she wasn't even aware that she had started turning her head to leave it bare. Open to be bitten. Her eyes fluttered closed as the muzzle of the wolf lowered and brushed its nose along her neck, still growling but this time it was a pleasing sound. Next the nose was replaced with a warm gentle lick before the beast was gone returning to its place next to the fire, Clarke stayed on the ground blinking rapidly in confusion. What the hell was that?

Sitting up she looked over the beast who was looking away from her its face had a strange look to it, almost like guilt. Clarke reached over to remove the now cooked meat from the flames, she crawled over to the wolf and offered it the meat. The wolf watched her for a long moment before dipping its head to take the meat in its large teeth, Clarke released a large sigh of relief. Stroking the animals head again but mentally noting not to try and touch its belly again.

Meat gone and fire refuelled Clarke settled back into the furs she was using as a make-shift bed, she pulled a folded piece of paper from her pocket. Opening it she stared down at the drawn image that was sketched upon it, she felt the wolf shift as if trying to see what she was looking at. Chuckling she turned the paper to the wolf.

"This is Lexa, she's a…friend" The wolf continued to stare at the picture in front of it, captivated.

"I wonder if she knows where I am? I wonder if she cares" the beast growled softly at her words, Clarke giggled and patted the furs next to her. The wolf padded over to her and settled to her side, Clarke leaned her weight on its furred chest.

"Why are you here?" she turned her head into the fur, breathing deeply. She smelled, forest, cinnamon and fresh rain. She buried her nose deeper into the fur humming slightly.

"You smell good… why do you smell so good?" the wolf sat still as Clarke continued to nuzzle her face in deeper into its chest.

To say that Lexa was struggling with her self-control would be an understatement, here she sat with Clarke buried into her chest. And earlier she had made the blond bare her neck to her, what was she doing? Clarke and the rest of the other Sky people didn't have a clue what the grounders were, and here she was trying to make claim of their leader. If Titus was here he would have a field day with this, but she just couldn't help herself. The blondes scent was addictive, no one had made her feel like this not since…

If she didn't stop this now she would be a real risk of being in too deep, she sniffed the air around Clarke. Her scent was all over the blonde, a fact that made her wolf growl possessively. The wolf inside her seemed not to be struggling with conflicted emotions as the human was. It knew what it watched. Clarke.

At some point Clarke had fallen asleep her body now limp against her, she shifted into human form catching the sleeping girl in her arms and lowering her to the waiting furs. Sighing deeply, she arouse and retrieved the clothes she had hiding in the tree above the cave when she had arrived this evening. Dressed now Lexa settled down next to the fire her eyes watching the sleeping sky girl, her eyes drifted down to the drawn picture of herself. Had Clarke drawn this? Is that how she saw her? she hoped so, she looked beautiful in this picture.

Lexa was not sure how long she had been watching the blond sleep but as Clarkes brows came together in a frown and her body twitched slightly the brunette couldn't fight the urge to settle the sleeping girl. She came to kneel in front of her.

"Clarke…" Lexa filled the cave with calming pheromones. It did little to help the distressed woman.

"No…. n-no… Lexa, help…help me lexa…" the blond was trashing now.

"Clarke…" Lexa called slightly louder this time. Still the blond trashed out, Lexa called her wolf to the surface.

"KLARK" the blond's eyes snapped open and stared up at Lexa's almost glowing greens, Lexa was panting slightly with the effort of pushing her wolf back. Clarke was whimpering below her, her hands gripping at the furs under her. She showed her neck in submission and then suddenly to mood in the cave shifted and she snapped out of it. Lexa was still hovering above her but her eyes where closed now, her breathing settled. She looked peaceful for a moment, and then when she opened her eyes again gone was the fierceness.

"Lexa…" Clarke reached a hand up to cup the commanders face, Lexa couldn't help but lean slightly in to the touch.

"It's me…your safe" Lexa moved back slightly from the blond, control Lexa. Jok.

"A dream?" Lexa simply nodded.

"Right…wait, what are you doing here?" Clarke looked around the cave for the wolf, no sign of it.

"And where is Lex?" The brunette raised an eyebrow in question.

"oh…errrrm a wolf…it kind of saved my life, and now…well…it was here" the blond muttered under her breath.

"And you named this wolf…Lex?" Lexa was trying to keep the smile from her lips, she knew it would be showing in her eyes though.

"Don't look at me like that. There was a wolf, I'm not making this up. And well I don't know its name…but it has green eyes just like yours, so yes. Lex is her name" Clarke had gotten to her feet, turning her back to the commander.

"And it's a she?" Clarke turned and opened her mouth to respond but no words came out.

"Clarke, I believe you. I'm sorry I shouldn't have… what's the word your people use? Tease?" Clarke let her shoulders relax slightly, it was bad enough she was worried that she herself was going crazy let alone Lexa thinking it too.

"There are wolves that roam these woods, actually most of the ground. It's not uncommon that they build…bonds with a human" Clarkes eyes snapped up to the brunettes in front of her.

"Really?" Lexa confirmed with a closing of her eyes.

"Sha…but I must warn you Clarke, if one wolf has…bonded with you then all other wolves are a threat" Confusion rushed Clarkes features, she looked at the commander in question.

"Wolves don't share well with others…if another wolf is to stumble upon you they will smell the scent of another wolf. They will attack you, Clarke" the blond was silent for a moment while she processed the information.

"And the wolf that has… bonded with you will not allow another wolf or human for that matter to get too close to you" Lexa gripped her hands together tightly behind her back at the idea of another touching the blond in front of her. she would not allow it.

"Right… so no stroking other wolves got it. Thanks, you know for telling me this and believing me. I was starting to think…"

"You not losing your mind, Clarke. As I have said before...there is no weakness there" Clarke stared at the brunette for a long moment, it was nice to be able to just be around her. no planning for war or talks of the mountain men, if she tried she could almost forget that they were the leaders to their people. she could just let Lexa kiss her again, let herself forget about all the pain she felt. when was the last time she had felt truly happy? truly safe?

"The kiss…" Lexa held her breath, her grip tightening even more.

"Clarke, you don't have to..." Clarke shook her head.

"I do… I said I wasn't ready" Clarke paused trying to get everything straight in her head.

"Because of the boy…" Lexa filled, turning her eyes away from the blond not wanting to see the hurt she knew would be there.

"Yes...no... yes and no. Not just because of him… the truth is Lexa, that you scare me" Lexa scrunched her eyes tightly shut at the words, she took a step back as if pushed by the force of their meaning.

"I understand" Lexa confirmed.

"No, no you don't. I'm not scared of you Lexa but… I'm scared of the way you make me feel" Lexa continued to keep her eyes tightly shut, Clarke took a step closer to the commander.

"Look at me Lexa" the brunette made no movement, Clarke huffed out a breath before taking the grounders face in her hands effectively forcing her to meet her eyes.

"When you kissed me...it was the first time I've felt safe in years, felt happy. Light… and that fact scares me more than any army. More than any weapon." Lexa saw the truth in those eyes, saw the plead in them.

"Please Lexa...make me feel that again" a shuddering breath escaped the Alphas lips her hands coming to wrap securely around the blond's hips, she rested her forehead against her. Breathing in her scent, filling the cave with her pheromones.

"You are safe, I shall let no harm come to you...you are m…" the last word was cut off as a shaking howl rippled through the forest behind them, with in a second Lexa had pulled Clarkes body behind her. She had turned her eyes to the trees, the howl had been a warning. one of her own wolves, a scout she assumed had found Azgeda tracks.

"Clarke wait here" Clarke tightened her grip on the commander's coat.

"What? no way, Lexa I'm coming with you… it might be Lex…" Lexa turned to face the blond, the look in her forest green eyes made her want to kneel in front of the strong woman. Kneel? Clarke, scrunched up her brows in confusion. What was wrong with her?

"You will stay here, don't fight me Klark" there was no room for argument in those words, and then the brunette was jumping down into the clearing below.

Clarke felt the cold in the cave draw in, she was alone and for the first time since she had got into the woods she really felt truly alone. She wondered why.

Lexa shifted as soon as she hit the cover of the tree line, white breath fell from her open-mouthed muzzle. The howl had been a cry for help, one of her wolves was in pain. Was calling out for the pack, for her. It didn't take long for the scent of copper filled blood to hit her keen nose, her pace increased.

Then she found them, a scout patrol slaughter. Their body filled the ground, they were all in human form which was normal when one of their kind died. A pained groan came from one of the bodies and Lexa shifted and ran to the fallen scout.

"Heda…" Lexa took the out reached bloody hand and held it tight to her chest, concentrating her eyes softly closed she sucked up some of the pain from the wounded man, this was something only a Alpha could do. Her body shook silently from the pain she adsorbed before she opened her eyes again to look down at the grounder, his breathing had relaxed slightly.

"What happened?" He spat some blood free from his mouth before swallowing harshly.

"Azgeda… outnumbered us, too many of them." Lexa sucked some more pain from him, his eyes softened slightly before he continued. His voice a little stronger.

"The queen is with them, she was too strong. She's looking for something, I heard them talking…" Another cough of blood came from his lips.

"They were tracking a scent…" Lexa's eyes widened, she turned her eyes to the trees behind them as Anya, Indra, Ryder and 10 other wolves charged into the scene.

"Indra, get him back to camp…Anya, Ryder you're with me…Nia is here" they all growled in answer as Lexa shifted once more and bonded back into the thick forest. She knew what Nia wanted, knew what she was tracking. Clarke.

Clarke was back and forth in the clearing below the cave, no sign of Lexa. No sign of Lex. She kicked a lose piece of wood that was in her path in frustration but to her confusion it didn't make contact with anything. Clarke looked up to see the stick held firmly in the hand of a Blond grounder, not blond like her own hair it was whiter. There were scars lining her face, Clarke had seen warriors with similar markings before when they had stormed the mountain.

"Now, now what did this stick ever do to you, Wanheda" the grounder dropped the stick to the floor before taking a step closer to the blond.

"Please don't call me that" Clarke didn't know why but something felt very threating about the older woman.

"Oh do we not like that title? Perhaps you would prefer me to call you it in your language, commander of death" Clarke's hands curled into tight fists, she swallowed down the bile that filled her throat.

"Don't like that either I see, forgive me. You're not what I expected" her voice was making her skin crawl.

"You're a pretty little thing I can see why Heda has taken such a liking to you" another grounder rushed out of the woods behind them.

"Kwin Nia, Heda approaches, what are your orders?" Nia didn't take her eyes of the Skai girl in front of her.

"Prepare to leave, we are not ready to for yet…" the grounder nodded before disappearing back into the trees.

"pity I was hoping that we would have longer together but no matter…" Clarke watched as the older woman began removing her coat, then her shirt.

"What are you doing?" Clarke started stepping away from the grounder, what was going on? Where was Lexa?

"Stop…" Clarkes feet stopped moving, the order in the voice was like a vice tight grip. She was rooted to the spot, she looked down at her feet willing them to move but nothing happened. Looking up again at the queen she saw now a naked woman in front of her.

"Watch closely, Wanheda. You shall be mine, I shall mark you. Claim you" then to Clarkes horror the woman in front of her fell to all fours and within a blink of an eye a white wolf glared back at her. Clarke wanted to scream, wanted to rub her eyes in disbelief. But the beast began padding closer, it looked to the side of her and Clarke followed her eye line. There amongst the tree 3 giant wolves charged towards them, a black one. A light brown one, and then in front and by far the biggest of the 3…Lex.

Clarke wanted to run to the wolf, wanted to feel the soft warm fur of the beast beneath her fingers. A deep growl erupted in front of her and she was remined of the white wolf, it all happened so fast she had no time to react. One moment the wolf was in front of her and the next she laid flat on her back its teeth imbedded deep within the tissue of her shoulder, she barely had time to register the feeling of the sharp teeth before they were gone. The weight of the wolf gone, searing hot pain coursed through veins. Her back arched off the floor as it ripped through her, her screams where ear splitting.

She couldn't even hear Lexa shouting her name, couldn't feel the brunette's hands trying to keep her still. She looked at the trees, searching for Lex. But they were empty, her vision started to blur. Darkness was creeping in, hands gripped her face and turned her away from the woods. Instead now she stared up at deep, concern filled green eyes.

"Lexa…" it was barley a whimper, she could see the grounders lips mouthing her name but her eyes rang loudly blocking all other noise. A second later the darkness took her.
