Hey followers and readers! I hope you are enjoying the story thus far! Let me know what you all think of Wynonna and Kendall and if you have any comments I love getting feedback! Hope you are all enjoying! This lack of Wynonna Earp is already killing me!
"What exactly did she say to you Haught?" Wynonna asked as her expression turned deadly serious. There were not many things in this world that would cause the Heir to have an unrelenting desire to slaughter anyone and everyone, but threatening Waverly, well that was a one way ticket to hell – Earp Style.
Nicole took a deep breath as she grabbed a folded chair that was leaning on the wood pile near the fire and brought it to sit close beside her girlfriend. The redhead sat down and immediately leaned forward, her eyes focused on the fire blazing before her.
"I don't want to repeat everything, at least not yet… I'm already trying my hardest to not get pissed again but," Nicole said through gritted teeth as Waverly leaned forward and reached over to the redhead and grabbed her right hand so that she could lace their fingers, "She said that when her demon husband returns that asshole is going to torture Waverly and she is going to make me watch."
Waverly tried to steady her racing heart and attempted to give Nicole reassurance, but her girlfriend's words caused her blood to run cold. Waverly couldn't help but ignore the fact that Widow Beth threatened to torture her and instead immediately thought of Nicole having to watch her in pain; the brunette knew that if Nicole had to watch anything happen to her and was unable to intervene it would break the redhead's heart.
"Like hell they are touching Waverly," Wynonna said in a voice that would make even the nastiest Revenant run begging for re-entry to hell.
"Nikky," Kendall said in a calm and confident voice, "No one is letting that happen."
"How do you know? Plan on sticking around long enough to maybe be of use this time or are you just going to take off when it's fucking convenient for your life?" Nicole growled in a low voice before quickly closing her eyes, letting go of Waverly's hand, and bringing her fists up to clench her head.
"Nicole…" Waverly said with a bit of concern and shock, she had never heard her girlfriend be so hateful and speak with so much spite.
"Damn… Little Haughtie is a douche tonight…" Wynonna whispered quietly as she pursed her lips and looked over towards Kendall who was sitting beside her. The Heir could see a look in Kendall's eyes that made her scrunch her brow, Nicole had just said something mean and mildly cruel, yet Kendall was looking at her little sister in a loving way with a great sense of understanding.
Kendall glanced over towards Wynonna and gave a warm smile and wink before looking back over to her sister who appeared to be trying her hardest to control whatever anger was burning inside her.
Nicole was tightly gripping her head and taking slow deep breaths before slowly saying, "I'm sorry Kendall… I didn't mean that… I don't know what's wrong with me."
"Come here," Kendall said as she stood up and walked half way to her little sister, "Come on pup…"
Nicole let her hands slide down from her head and looked up with her brown saddened eyes at her sister who was standing several feet in front of her. The redhead got up from her seat and slowly shuffled so she was standing in front of Kendall.
After her harsh comment to her sister, an extremely undeserved comment after all Kendall had done for her and the Earps, Nicole was preparing herself to be yelled at or a string of profanities to be thrown her way.
Nicole was completely shocked when Kendall reached out suddenly and pulled her into a tight hug. The redhead could feel tears welling in her eyes as she gripped the back of Kendall's hoodie tightly and squeezed.
"It's okay pup, I know what you're going through and I am so damn proud of you Nikky," Kendall said as she rubbed her sister's back, "I know how difficult this is and I know that you have done a fucking hell of a job controlling yourself. Your emotions are going to be all over and anger is the easiest one for wolves to express. You're going to lash out kid, but if getting bitchy with me is the worst you do, then I will take it. You're doing great."
Nicole felt tears sliding down her cheeks as she listened to her sister's words and took in what the blonde was telling her. The redhead gave a final squeeze and leaned back to see Kendall giving a genuine smile.
"And to answer your question pup," Kendall said as she used her right hand to ruffle those flaming red locks, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be here in Purgatory for as long as you all need me and I'm not running anywhere. So yeah I do know that we aren't letting that asshole Demon come back and no one is fucking touching the Earp sisters."
Nicole gave a genuine smile as she nodded her head and wiped the wet streaks from her face.
"Kendall's already promised to be around for my kid and she's buying me pregnancy craving foods on command… I think the fur-ball is here to stay," Wynonna said as she gave Kendall a playful smirk; however the brunette's eyes were full of warmth.
Kendall walked back and smiled down at Wynonna but offered a playful glare and accusatory finger point, "Hey, I thought we agreed not to mention me being nice to you Earp!"
The Heir couldn't resist throwing a wink towards the blonde.
"Only in our family can you kick your sisters ass and be a bitch and her reply is that she's proud of you," Nicole said with a grin as she moved back to sit beside Waverly, who was sporting a sweet smile.
"Ha…" Wynonna said with a snort as she began laughing, causing the other three to look her way, "Bitch… Female dog… She's a werewolf… Get it?"
Kendall immediately started chuckling and shaking her head at Wynonna's antics, but the blonde couldn't deny that she enjoyed the Heir's humor.
Waverly rolled her eyes and smiled lightly, while Nicole gave a genuine laugh. Waverly loved seeing her girlfriend returning to her warm and loveable self, the smile on Nicole's face made the brunette's heart melt. Nicole was nothing short of incredible. The brunette looked at her girlfriend and was captivated by the light from the fire illuminating the woman she loved.
"Baby you should be very proud of yourself right now," Waverly said with a smile as she got up from her seat and moved so that she was sitting on Nicole's lap with her back leaned against the redhead, "From what Kendall has told us the fact that you were able to shift back on your own and control yourself the way you did is a testament to how strong you are and the amazing wolf you're going to be."
"You know your submerged in the supernatural when your girlfriend is telling you that you're going to be an amazing wolf," Nicole said with a gentle smile as she leaned forward and rested her head on Waverly's, "But thank you babe… Honestly I remember bits and pieces of earlier. Controlling my anger was the hardest part, shifting back was the easiest part."
"What do you mean Nik?" Kendall asked as she scrunched her brow and looked at her sister.
Nicole wrapped her arms around Waverly's waist to hold her girlfriend in her lap and pulled her head back from the brunette and glanced over to her sister, "Well, trying to not get pissed when I saw Widow Beth standing over Nicole was the hardest part. When I rammed her and then roared it was like everything inside of me was dying to rip her throat out. I wanted to tear her from limb to limb… Trying to make sure that I didn't do half of the things I was thinking was the hardest thing I have had to do…"
"But what about shifting back? You seriously think that was easy?" Wynonna asked wide eyed as she looked between both Haught sisters, "You literally beat the living shit out of your Haughtie sister in her poodle form and you didn't even give a rats ass when she barked at you!"
Nicole was utterly confused by Wynonna's statement and was looking at the Heir with squinted eyes, her mouth slightly open and her brow scrunched.
"Okay one, I totally think I held my own. New wolves are the strongest kind and right now Nicole is like a nuclear bomb waiting to explode so the fact I didn't die means that I did not get the shit kicked out of me," Kendall said with a slightly annoyed look at her face (Nicole throwing her threw the snow with enough force and pain to cause her to shift back was something no other wolf has EVER done so it was embarrassing), "Two, for the love of God I am a WOLF, not a Poodle, Golden Retriever or Labrador. Three, it is a bark not a roar…"
Kendall was looking at Wynonna as she spoke and she sensed that the Heir felt genuinely bad about poking fun at her, and in reality Kendall's bruised ego from her fight with Nicole was what was causing the snarky corrections of the Earp's joke.
Unable to take the saddened pouty look from the pregnant woman, Kendall leaned over towards Wynonna and gave another playful glare and finger point, "You are so lucky you're cute as hell Earp, most people would be ripped to shreds if they talked to me like that."
"Mhmm, so what you're saying is you have a soft spot for me and the kid huh? Wow Kendall, you're just boosting my ego left and right today," Wynonna said in a flirty tone with a grin as she leaned forward so she was closer to the blonde.
Kendall couldn't help but flash her eyes yellow and give Wynonna a quick wink, as she smiled and then allowed her eyes to fade back to their natural color.
"Who's afraid of the big bad wolf…" Wynonna whispered as she glanced down at Kendall's lips.
"Okay, yeah I'm going to pretend that we didn't just see that or hear that and we are going to not continue whatever," Nicole said as she waved her right hand from Kendall to Wynonna, "That is… Jesus Kendall you haven't even been here 48 hours and you're hitting on my girlfriend's sister?!"
Kendall and Wynonna both broke away from their close encounter and leaned back in their seats with innocent expressions on their faces.
"I saw them earlier… Wynonna blamed her hormones," Waverly said with a shrug, causing Wynonna and Kendall to laugh light while Nicole gave her girlfriend a 'really, are you serious babe please tell me you didn't believe that' face.
Nicole looked back towards the two eldest sisters and rolled her eyes, "Anyway, what the hell does the roar have to do with anything?"
"What did you feel when I roared at you?" Kendall asked curiously as she crossed her legs and eyed her sister.
"Uhm…" Nicole said nervously as she started to look around and broke the eye contact with her sister.
"You can tell me Nikky, remember… I have literally been through this so I know how it goes and the emotions you are going to face," Kendall said with an eye roll.
"Uhm… I felt super annoyed and offended by you. I felt like you were being an arrogant, power-hungry, controlling, showoff, stuck up, pain in-" Nicole said as she started listing everything off.
"OH-KAY NIK!" Kendall said as she cut off her sister and gave a bitter laugh, "Ya could have just said it annoyed you."
Waverly and Wynonna were both covering their mouths attempting to suppress their laughs.
"What does that normally do to wolves?" Nicole asked as she leaned her head against Waverly's back.
"Normally that would cause any new wolf, an alpha or a beta, to shift back to normal. I haven't really had time to explain the hierarchy of our clan to you yet or how that really works, so it's hard to really explain," Kendall said as she appeared to rack her brain for the best way to explain to her sister the way of the clan.
"I mean it's not like we're going anywhere," Waverly said with a smirk as the redhead gave a slight smile and gave a quick squeeze around the brunette's waist.
"Well, like you found out earlier, our dad is the one in charge of all the clans in North America right?" Kendall said as she started looking around at the other 3 women, appearing to take deep breaths as she figured out the proper ways to explain everything that was rushing through her mind. There were things that Nicole couldn't know until after her first shift, so the blonde had to ensure she worded everything properly.
"Yeah, so?" Nicole said as she shrugged.
"Soooo, you know how there is a chain of command in the military or even the damn presidency? Well pup it's the same with the clans, you have dad who is like the president or superintendant… Then since you and I are the next ones to take over, we are literally his second in command and with wolves your roar is a power statement. In the military those under the chain of command have to follow rules, well when a top ranking alpha… Like you and I… Roar, then others must bow down to us… No matter where we are other packs know who we are and what our position is…" Kendall said as she started swirling her hands in a circle trying to finish the explanation.
"So essentially since you two are literally the next in line to rule the werewolf packs throughout North America, when you two roar then everyone else is going to submit to you… It's in your DNA, it's how you're bred…" Wynonna said as she gave the blonde a light smile as she attempted to help Kendall explain everything.
"Yes!" Kendall said as she offered a grateful nod to the brunette, "And since you haven't even shifted yet, that makes me higher ranked than you, based on your entire DNA make up, your wolf SHOULD have submitted to that roar and you SHOULD have shifted back… Which the fact that you shifting didn't kill you is shocking in itself…"
"But your roar did nothing but piss me off?" Nicole said as she looked back and forth between Wynonna and Kendall in confusion.
"What made you change back Nikky?" Kendall said with a smirk towards Waverly.
"Waves…" Nicole said quietly as she looked up to the brunette.
Waverly was smiling sweetly down to the redhead and leaned foreword, placing a gentle kiss to Nicole's forehead.
"Your wolf is refusing to follow pack law," Kendall said with a smile at her sister and Waverly. The blonde knew that Nicole would have more questions but those could wait for tomorrow, right now Waverly and Kendall had spoken enough where the youngest Earp knew what it meant for Nicole's wolf to submit. The blonde looked over to Wynonna who seemed to get the same impression from the couple's sensitive moment.
"Your wolf follows a different alpha little sis, your wolf already has a pack…" Kendall said quietly as she stood up and looked over towards Wynonna.
Nicole had not taken her eyes off of Waverly but the redhead was listening to every word from her sister and the more she heard, the more in love she fell with her girlfriend.
"Why don't we let you two enjoy the rest of the fire and tomorrow you and I can work on controlling your temper while the Earp sisters figure more out about the bitches in black…" Kendall said as she made eye contact with Wynonna.
"So fur-ball… It's late and you have made me not hate you, why don't you help a super sexy badass pregnant demon killer out of this chair and to the house and I'll let you sleep on the couch?" Wynonna grumbled as she struggled to stand.
Kendall smiled and reached her hand out, enjoying when Wynonna took a hold of it, and the blonde pulled the brunette to her feet.
"The couch? Really? I bought you a Snickers…" Kendall said with a playful smirk.
"Get me inside Romeo and we can discuss sleeping arraignments," Wynonna said as she gave a light smack to the blonde's head, "Let's leave before these two go crazy with all the eye sex occurring from their wolf shifting revelation."
Kendall held her arm out and the very pregnant Wynonna gripped her arm and the blonde lead the Heir to the homestead while Nicole and Waverly prepared to have a very needed talk about the feelings between the two.
