Daniel wakes up and army crawls to his brother and Eddward's room to bang on the door. "Big Brother! I am hungry!" he whines. Eddward sighs and gets up opening the door finding the little wolf. "Mon Petit, your brother has had a rather long night. Come." he says, scooping the small boy up.
"Did he not sleep good?" Daniel asks.
Eddward suppresses a smirk "No, Mon Petit Loup, he did not. He was up most of the day" he says setting him down on the couch. "How is your leg today? Has it stopped itching and being sore?"
"A little bit... It super stiff and I wanna move it. Can you take the cast off now? Please?"
Eddward nods "Yes but if I am not satisfied that it is healed, I am putting another one on and I want zero protests. Am I understood?" Daniel whines a bit but agrees. He wanted to run and Kevin did promise to take him running and hunting as soon as he was better.
Eddward uses his nails to gouge an outline out then used his strength to rip the cast off. "Now, do not move." he instructs. Getting a washcloth, a bowl of water, and soap and coming back to clean it, he moved the foot and leg every which way and nods satisfied. "Get up and walk a little, if you would."
Daniel stands, wobbly at first, then slowly steadying. Taking a few experimental steps first, gaining more balance before trying to walk more quickly. "It doesn't hurt anymore!"
"Transform for me, Mon Cher?" Eddward requests just wanting to test it one more time to be sure. Daniel concentrates and soon Eddward has a hyper wolf pup hopping around his living room. Every once in a while, Daniel will have a hiccup in his stride but he doesn't let it slow him down. Eddward smiles fondly watching the little wolf run around "I am glad you let me fix your leg."
Daniel jumps up next to Eddward and nuzzles into him, so happy that he can finally use his leg without pain. "Thank you for fixing me, Eddward! When is Kevin waking up? I wanna go hunting!"
"I do not know… Why don't you go wake him up?" Eddward snickers.
Daniel hops off and trots to the bedroom before jumping on the bed and the mass of flesh beneath the blankets. A loud "ooff!" came from the mass under the trampled blankets. "What the hell?!"
"My leg is all better! Eddward fixed it! Can we go hunting now?"
"I'm gonna hunt you! Let sleeping lions lie, ya brat."
"But you're not a lion..." Kevin laughed and grabbed his brother, smuggling him under the blankets and cuddling him close, Daniel struggling valiantly.
Eddward comes into the bedroom and sees struggling under the blankets "You like some help, Mon Cher?"
"Eddward help! He laying on me!" Daniel wheezed from under the larger redhead. "You woke me up, now you have to cuddle me!" Kevin sassed.
Eddward chuckles and walks over to the bed sliding in and helping the larger red head snuggle the smaller one "I do not know more sleep sounds delightful."
"Nooo I'm hungry! Kevin, you promised!"
"Okay okay, I'm up!" Kevin yawned sitting up.
Eddward snickers "May I accompany you?"
"Always" Kevin grins, leaning in for a kiss before standing. "Alright ya shit, get out so we can get ready." Daniel runs off to wait. Once he easier if ear shot Kevin punched Eddward in the shoulder. "You asshole! You knew he was gonna jump on me!"
Eddward cackles and tackles the ginger to the ground "Yes, I did. Your point? And by the by, how is your lower extremities?"
Kevin blushes before pushing the vampire off him. "Made me whine and beg like a whore... You're lucky I can walk. What would you have to tell Daniel if I couldn't, hmm?"
"Oh probably that after he went to sleep you went out hunting and a buck slammed into you or something" Eddward shrugs "It is a shame though… Next time I shall have to try harder."
"You leave me and my ass alone until you make it up to me. And part of that make up should be you naked in bed!" Kevin exits the room to find Daniel on his back, playing with Froggy in the living room. "Ready?"
Daniel jumps up waging his tail excitedly "Yea! Where is Eddward?" he asks looking around. Eddward hearing this snickers and quickly gets dressed grabbing the wolf a pair of jeans and walking out. "Here you'll be needing these, no?" he asks handing them to the wolf.
"Eh, I'm not hunting tonight. Danny is."
Eddward quirks a brow "Put them on" he insists.
"Yes, Mother..." Kevin grabs the pants, walks out of the room, and quickly changes. "This better for you?" Kevin asks, with only his jeans on.
Eddward nods and watches Daniel turn to the door and he takes this chance to smack the larger ginger upside the head.
"What the shit was that for?!" Kevin pouts, rubbing his head.
"Do I look like a female or your damn mother?" Eddward hisses.
"You are pretty..." Kevin sasses. Eddward growls and smacks him again before following Daniel out the door. Once Kevin exits the house, he sees Daniel playing with something in the bushes with Eddward watching carefully. Daniel perked up and ran to Kevin "Where are we going hunting?"
"Into town" Kevin smirked.
Eddward quirks a brow "Mon Cher..." he says in a warning tone.
"What?" Kevin asks, sending a glare to Eddward.
"I am not so sure that is a good idea" Eddward says treading carefully.
"I'm not taking him in the middle of town... Just the very outskirts. The humans have spread themselves out very thin and it is easy picking" Kevin assures. "Not to mention, we'll be there. Not problem!"
Eddward nods "Yes, very well then."
Kevin looks to Daniel "See if you can keep up!" and took off, Daniel following behind. They slowed right outside town, by a little Korean restaurant named Amke. He turned to Daniel and pushed his butt down to hunker down beside him. "You wanna wait until you see a perfect opportunity..." Just then a couple walked out. The woman was shorter and would be easy for Daniel to run after but the guy would be too much. Kevin looked to Edd "Get the guy?" Eddward nodded and flitted off. "Alright, as soon as Eddward gets the guy out of the way, you go after the female" Daniel nodded and waited.
Eddward jumps from roof top to roof top until the couple took a short cut through an ally way. He jumps down, landing heavily on the guy and as the woman starts screaming, Eddward sinks his teeth in beginning to suck the man dry.
Kevin pushes Daniel to go and he takes off, running as fast as he can from behind the woman. Jumping up and trying for her throat but misses. She screams and takes off running, with Daniel on her heels. Kevin appears at her side and takes a bite out of her leg and holding her there. Daniel runs up and pounces on her, sinking his teeth into her throat and silencing her screams, her life slowly leaving her. Kevin came beside Daniel "We have to move her into the woods. Let me take her in." The smaller redhead let go and let Kevin drag the body deep into the woods where they began to eat. Eddward is already in the woods watching silently over the wolfs as they eat.
Kevin reached out, feeling for Eddward, comforted by his presence so close. When Daniel was done, he sat back on his butt and burped. "Stand up and walk it out... You'll get a stomach ache if you don't." Daniel groaned but did as he was told, Kevin catching up a few minutes later, having had his fill and leaving the body for the humans to find and clean up.
Eddward drops down on the larger wolf's back and lays there leisurely for a moment before a large blonde tuft of fur tackles him off of his mate. They tumble around for a moment but Eddward, being the more experienced, easily gains the advantage and grabs his silver knife about to rip whatever it was to shreds.
It took Kevin a moment to realize what happened, everything happened so fast. One moment his mate was laying on his back and the next, he was fighting with someone. Looking over for a chance to intervene, he sees blonde hair and catches a familiar scent. Kevin dashes forward and jumps on the blonde wolf, bearing down on them with teeth showing and a deep growl.
"Whoa whoa! I try saving your life from a vampire and this is how you repay me, Kev! Baby, it's me!" The blonde wolf says transforming into her human form.
"Qui dans la baise est elle?! Et pourquoi elle appelle vous 'bébé'?!" Eddward growls his eyes red slipping into French in his anger. (Who the fuck is she?! And why is she calling you 'baby'?!)
"What is he saying?! Speak English leech!" she snaps at him.
"Calmes-vouz, Eddward. Je pense que son ok..." Kevin soothes his mate before transforming and staring the blonde down. "Nazz?! What the hell?! Where have you been? I haven't seen you since before the attack on my pack! And before we go any further, don't talk to him like that. I'll rip your throat out where you stand and leave you to die. K?" (Calm down, Eddward. I think it's ok…)
Eddward growls and relaxes a little but keeps his knife out and stays silent "Whoa, baby… Why are you talkin' to me like that? C'mon, we are arranged to be married!" she says trying to calm Kevin down as she stands up. That gets Eddward's attention "You were arranged to be married and you did not think it was important to tell me, Kevin?" he growls.
"I honestly thought she was either dead or ran off. I hadn't seen or heard from her since before the attack." Kevin rounded on Nazz. "And you, you knew that this 'marriage' was one of complete convenience. Don't start all this 'oh baby' shit with me."
"Whoa, dude! I actually had genuine feelings for you..." Nazz says hurt causing Eddward to scoff she rounds on him. "What are you laughing at you, fucking flea!?" she growls. Eddward is on her in an instant "Listen you little tart, you would do well to adjust your attitude towards me. Just because I act gentlemanly does not mean I won't rip your throat out because you are a woman" he growls in her face.
Kevin squeezes between them. "All I ever got from you is a 'friend vibe'. I didn't know what happened to you. You disappeared for a week and then we were attacked. I'm sorry if I ever led you on to think there was something more. You were an awesome friend but there is not, and cannot, be anything else between us." Kevin turned to Eddward and grabbed his face between his hands, kissing him lightly "Hey, calm down. It's okay."
Eddward scoffs but relaxes a bit "Amende" he scoffs.
Nazz smiles "No, that's not true at all, Kevy! We could totally pick up where we left off! And we –uh- we need to start rebuilding the pack" she says the last part quietly while blushing. Eddward bristles at this "Excuse you?" he growls, moving to push past the ginger wolf, who at this point the blonde was hiding behind.
"No no no, Eddward! Calm down!" He holds onto Eddward, trying to not let him kill Nazz. "Nazz, we can't 'rebuild' anything! We are mated! Do you not see the claiming marks?!"
"What? Those tattoos? Weird, I never thought you would get one…" Nazz says thoughtfully.
"TATTOOS?!" Eddward booms in anger. "How dare you, you little harlot! These bond us for life!" he growls struggling against the ginger.
"Eddward! She doesn't know! I didn't know either, remember?! Nazz! Shut up! Stop talking! You are seriously pissing off my MATE!"
"Mate?!" Nazz yells "He can't even bare your children!" she says irritably causing Eddward to fight harder.
"I do wonderfully with corporal punishment, allow me to show you!" he growls.
"I didn't kill Marie when I wanted to because she was your friend! Give me that same courtesy!" Kevin growled in Eddward's ear. "Nazz, I don't care about children. I never have. I love him and he loves me. That should be enough for anyone who truly cares about me!"
Nazz sighs "Yea whatever"
Eddward growls and calms down a bit. "Marie n'a jamais été si irrespectueux" he hisses at the red head staring the scared blonde down. (Marie has never been so disrespectful)
"C'est vrai et je suis désolé. J'essaie d'arranger les choses. Je t'aime" Kevin hold Eddward tightly, an arm around his waist and the other around his back. Daniel was looking back and forth between everyone, and scooted closer to Kevin and Eddward. He didn't remember her but she was really making Eddward mad. (It is true and I'm sorry. I will try to fix things. I love you)
Nazz notices Daniel and waves "Hey Danny! Remember me, little dude?" she greets, hoping to win him over, knowing how family oriented Kevin is. Eddward growls getting upset again and seeing through her little charade but calms himself for Daniel.
"Daniel et moi sommes aller de l'avant." He growls picking the little ginger up gently glaring at the woman still. (Daniel and I are moving forward)
Daniel looks at Nazz with a questioning gaze, ear flicking and tail curled under him as much as possible. Eddward could feel the small red head tremble... Daniel was trying to put on a brave front for his brother and Eddward but she was making him nervous and she was making Eddward mad. He curls into Eddward some more but still able to see her.
"Si vous apportez cette femme maison vous n'aurez une maison a revenir a." he warns coldly before taking off with Daniel. He begins petting him to calm him down as he makes his way to the house. (If you bring this woman home, you won't have a house to go back to)
"What's his deal, Kev? What did he say?"
"He doesn't like you, you need to keep your distance from him and you need to learn your place with me. I'm not yours, Nazz. You have to respect that" Kevin explains. "I'm not gonna have you come back into my life just to fuck everything up. Eddward and Danny are the only family I have left. I don't need to lose them because of you or anyone else."
"Kev, listen to how you're talking to me! Clearly he is a bad influence! I'm sorry I thought I was saving you, all I saw was some vamp dropping down on you!" Nazz explains.
"Nazz, he is the one I'm supposed to be with. He is my soul mate. You disrespected him and when you disrespect him, you disrespect me. He is allowed to drop down onto my back... I enjoy it! I can see why you would think I was being attacked but you needed to back off long before now."
"How do you know he is the one you are supposed to be with?!" Nazz asks angrily "Do you not have any interest in rebuilding the pack?! Kev, he is a vampire and you are a werewolf… These things don't last and you know it" she says accusingly.
"These marks only show on two people who have found their soulmate in the Vampire world. It's no different. When vampires find their soulmate, their heart glows bright. Guess what happened after we met and confessed our feelings for each other? This will last because it's real. I don't need your approval. And as far as rebuilding the pack, we don't need to have children to do that. We are both very wanted men by many people. I almost don't want Danny around because I don't want him to get hurt again but I don't want to part with him either. I just wanna live my life in peace with my small family."
Nazz sits there dumbfounded "You can't be serious..." she laughs a bit thinking it's a joke but when the red head just gives her a dirty look, she freezes. "Oh god, you're serious?! You're actually mated for life?! Why are you wanted!? What did you do?!"
"Instead of bringing him in, I teamed up with him basically" Kevin answered, clearly bored.
"No... Kevin, what the shit! He is a fugitive?!" Nazz screams not yet having registered that the vamp was Eddward Rockwell.
"There's a lot you don't know, Nazz. I don't feel like going into it since it's his story. What is told to the bounty hunters is not correct and shit got fucked years ago."
"Wait... Who the fuck is he, Kevin?!" Nazz asks suspiciously having caught his first name "Tell me he isn't who I think he is..."
"Most likely" Kevin snickered and shrugged.
"Oh my god! He had decimated two fucking city's… Two! Kevin!" Nazz says clearly freaking out.
"And since we have met, he has done nothing but prove his loyalty and love for me. He took me in, he healed me, he worries about me... When I found Danny, he took him in before I could even ask him. He took Danny in and treats him like his own. Don't you get it, Nazz?! Why can't you just be happy for me? If you truly care about me, like you claim you do, you would be happy for me."
"Ok ok... I... I-I guess I am happy for you, if he has really done all that" Nazz says, seeing that Kevin wasn't going to see reason. She would just have to slowly make him see that she was the one for him and not that filthy blood sucker.
Kevin, not really believing her, looked to the sky and sees the Sun starting to come up. "I have to go, my mate is waiting for me. Do not follow me." Kevin transforms and takes off, keeping an eyes on Nazz and where she is going. 'As if we need one more thing breathing down our necks!' He thought irritatingly. Soon enough, the house came into view. He transformed back to his human form and walked in.
Eddward had already put the pup to sleep in the living room and was cleaning, trying to calm himself down. While waiting for his mate, he got so swept up in his mind numbing tasks he didn't even hear Kevin walk in.
Kevin grinned as he snuck up behind Eddward and wrapped his arms around him and started to kiss his neck. "I'm sorry" he figured that would be the safest route, he knew Eddward was pissed but there was nothing he could do. He really thought she was dead or ran off.
"For what exactly... For not feeling it important to tell me you were to be wedded to another?" Eddward snips coldly.
"Yes"
Eddward growls and walks out of the wolf's grasp and begins cleaning again. "I had to put Daniel in a trance again. He was far too wound up from the whole ordeal, he kept asking if you two were going to leave me and I did not have an answer for him."
"Why wouldn't you? Of course we're not going to leave you! Don't be so dense, Edd!"
Eddward scoffs "Oh, of course! My apologies..." he says sarcastically.
"Seriously? I don't know what you want me to do or say... I love you, I'm not leaving. You're stuck with me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my betrothal but I didn't think it really mattered if she had run off or was dead. Why are you so worked up over this?"
"She can give you something I cannot, Mon Cher" Eddward says quietly, pausing in the middle of scrubbing the bathtub.
"Children? I won't lie and say that I don't want kids but that dims compared to what you mean to me. I have nothing to pass on to kids. The best thing we got to a kid is Danny, and that's good enough for me."
Eddward looks back at him questioningly "Are you quite sure this is how you feel?"
"Yes, I'm very sure. Besides, we got too much shit going on right now to worry about kids." Kevin leaned against the doorframe, glancing at Eddward.
Eddward nods in agreement "Yes, you speak the truth. I-I am sorry, Mon Amour"
"It's okay. I'm exhausted...You coming to bed soon?"
Eddward sets the cleaning supplies to the side "I will come now" he says stepping forward and kissing the ginger.
Kevin leans into the kiss, drawing the vampire in deeper. Breaking the kiss, Kevin sighed "I don't even have the energy for that tonight. I think I'm still tired from someone's sexual escapades last night." Taking the vampire's hand, he lead him to the bedroom finding it immaculately clean and smelling fresh.
Eddward chuckles "I'm not going to apologize for something you screamed and begged for" he says slipping into the freshly made bed having taken a shower after he gave Daniel one and put him to bed.
"Ugh, I need a shower first. Wanna join me?" Kevin smirked grabbing some sweats.
Eddward quirks a brow and shrugs getting back out of bed "I do not see why not."
Kevin walked to the bathroom and stripped down, waiting for Eddward. He got the water going and stepped in sighing as the hot water soothed his sore muscles.
Eddward strips and slips in behind the ginger sensing his tension he grabs the bar of soap and begins massaging the wolf "I love you."
Kevin leans back and brings his arm up behind Eddward's head to bring him in for a kiss. Breaking the kiss and a quick "I love you, too." He turns around and wraps his arms around a lithe waist again, nuzzling and nipping into a soft neck.
Eddward moans softly angling his neck away so the ginger had better access to it as he continues his massage.
Kevin ran his hands down Eddward's sides before resting on his mate's shoulder, sighing. Eddward smiles as he gradually works out all the knots in his lover.
"'M tired... Your hands feel so good..."
Eddward smirks "you were thinking the same thing last night."
"Complete different situation but your hands felt amazing last night... I loved every second of it" Kevin tiredly chuckles. Eddward smiles and takes his hands off the wolf "Come, let us go to bed."
Kevin smiles and finishes his shower before getting out and getting in the bed, holding his arms out for Eddward. Eddward smirks and climbs in bed with the red head snuggling closely to him.
"Don't ever doubt me or us, Edd. You're mine and I'm yours. That'll never change" Kevin kisses his vampire sweetly.
"Of course Kevin I love you" Eddward says kissing him back.
"Now go to sleep."
