Jerk
I looked around the drawing room to the house. Most alpha's homes, with the exception of ours, are pretty old. It was kind of…stupid. Dark brown wood paneling with trophy deer heads. I mean, come on. Then there was a fireplace with a huge picture on the mantle that reminded me of Shuck as it contained men on horses and, well, wolfhounds. Ben pulled me closer to his side and, as much as it was comfortable, I pulled away. If I was going to help I needed my space.
"Irresponsible of you to bring a little girl." I heard a cold voice, but having been pushed suddenly behind everyone, I didn't see who spoke, though I had right to believe it was the alpha because I heard Toli squeak. I pushed myself back beside Ben and watched.
You know, as much as I have grown to love a blonde, this new one irked me greatly. He had hazel eyes that just…creeped me out the way they swept us over. He smiled at Tolinka and she squeaked again.
"Tolinka, love, what have you been up to these days?" He moved towards her and she flinched, ducking behind…Samuel was here? How did I not know this?
I glanced over at her.
"Toli, breathe, breathe, we don't have time for you to pass out today. In and out, it's really quite simple." I reminded.
Coming from me, the girl who freaks over graveyards? It was stupid.
Brian took a step towards her and Sam growled. Something that bordered possession flashed in his eyes and Mom looked like she was angry, but not with Brian. Dad gave her a look that outright said "no fighting amongst ourselves."
"Leave Toli alone." I said, suddenly regretting it when he turned to me. Dad looked beyond furious.
"Ah, yes, that's right. Who is the little girl?" He smiled. You could tell he was way older than Dad, just by the air he gave off. I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow.
"This 'little girl' is not too little to give you a run for your money, wolf. Leave her alone else the talk won't happen." I tried to sound bigger than I was, I couldn't tell if it was working.
"So she's yours?" He looked at Ben who didn't say a word for once. When you weren't the alpha-no, even if you were- -a mate in the same fight is sometimes a weakness because you're preoccupied making sure they're okay.
Not receiving a response, the alpha stepped closer and I growled before Ben held me back.
"Yes." He said lowly. "And you will leave her out of this."
Brian clapped slowly.
"So this is the famous Tri-Cities Pack. I've heard of you, who hasn't. I've met you, Adam, many times. This must be Porsche." I drew away from his touch. It was disgusting. Ben pulled me closer to him, glaring at the other man.
Fuck.
He held just a bit of concern in his gaze for barely a moment before I nodded and he looked back towards the top six wolves of the Snake River Pack.
"You're cheating, you said top six only. You have nine."
"Six who will and can fight if need be." Charles corrected. "Three to attempt to make peace."
"There's no peace to be made, I've done no wrong."
"You've held this girl since she was fifteen. Four years later she's terrified of the half of us and easing her way into life with the other half. Explain to us why your mate has panic attacks at the sight of a wolf." Charles offered.
"She wandered into my territory when she was twelve. She was a runaway. Her life was worse for her first two or three years around here, trust me. My wolves didn't like her. I personally didn't see her as much of a threat." He shrugged. "I did it for her."
Mom looked at Dad, well…all of us gave them a quick look.
"She was treated fine past that point."
"I was not!" Toli actually looked angry. "You were a monster! It took me four years to figure out how to leave, how to break it off. It hurt like hell but I did it. I spent eight years of my life with the lot of you because you killed my mother."
I blinked. Two of Brian's pack were wolves. I watched them slink over to stand intimidatingly behind their alpha. I didn't think, just Changed.
"She's a walker, Hauptman?" Brian nodded to Mom. Dad growled.
"How would you come by that conclusion?" Warren sounded honestly like he was laughing at this man's stupidity.
"Besides her smell?" Brian smiled. "Charlene, could you get Jon and Lunette?" A red head woman with hair that v-d down to her chin nodded and jogged upstairs. I saw Tolinka's facial expression lighten a little, as if she had hope for something. Moments later, the woman came down with two little bundles. One was whimpering and I saw her little dappled coat was far too adorable while she slept. The other was human.
"They're safe." Toli looked relieved. I was amazed, I could never have gone through any of this. Tolinka had never even mentioned having children, let alone two sleeping tots.
"Of course they are, you think I'd let any harm come to them?" Brian didn't look the way he sounded.
I don't know what got into me, but the little girl's whimpers were making Mei want to inspect it, figure out why it was making the sounds it was. I moved slowly forward to see them, Charlene seemed good enough. When I got closer, I realized she was just masking terror and fear. I nudged the little flecked brindle coat of Lunette comfortingly before sniffing at Jon. I turned and nodded to Charles that they were fine, but Mei still wanted to stay by them.
"We'll trade."
"We will not trade you Hauptman's daughter." Charles told him, "Or Tolinka, or anyone else. Money, perhaps. Or your death would work as well."
"I find them unfair. A daughter for a daughter."
Oh, hell no.
"No, it's final."
I was caught by surprise by the wolves I had seen and been watching. We tousled on the floor and I let out a yip of pain when one knocked me onto my back and one grabbed ahold of my throat. I closed my eyes and breathed steadily.
"You will have your wolves let her go or we will kill you, Brian, the Marrok doesn't play." Charles said one last time before hell broke lose. You know, Anna's presence wasn't doing much today. She was wolf too, had been when we got here. She rushed to help me while Toli got Charlene and the two babies out. Three against a bunch was unfair, but we had a bit before most of the bunch and most of our bunch Changed. I took the opportunity to finally throw one attacker to Anna to deal with and managed to get ahold of the other one's neck.
"Rawrp!" I let out a surprised squeak when someone lifted me by the scruff. I growled and struggled because damn it I didn't know who got me. It wasn't the weirdo alpha and it wasn't any of ours.
Mom looked up for a moment before growling. I closed my eyes when the person turned me around and then opened them.
Never pick a wolf up and show them your face, because I may not know you, but I don't intend to. I bit down on his nose and spat out little severed bits when he dropped me, grinning when I saw I had managed the whole thing. Blood dripped off my chin and I could taste it on my teeth. I growled and licked my lips.
No eating the bastard's helpers.
Whatever, I was in position to rip the guy's throat out when I paused. For once, I thought I'd wait until someone allowed me to kill him. Well, I stayed like that for all of two moments before Anna killed hers so I figured why not kill the other one.
Mmm, but the warm, iron tainted blood was just so good. I licked at the wolf's throat a bit before Ben pulled me back. He nudged my flank and I shook myself off and out of dinner mode.
Most of the Brian's wolves were dead at our feet and I was content with just watching and jumping in if someone needed my assistance.
I was content, until Ben pushed me out the front door. I hadn't seen it coming and soon I was next to Tolinka, Charlene, and the two little pups. Despite the battle inside, I suppose kids don't know when not to play, so they were having some fun on the yard. Both their guardians weren't more than a foot away and ready to pick them up and leave if need be. I watched the two pups carefully before getting down on the ground and crawling over to them. Sure, I was bloody, but hell, they were cute.
Tolinka didn't make a move to take them away so I figured she was fine with her kids associating with a freak with blood dripping off her snout. I nudged the little brindle-coated girl and she squeaked and flung her little body at me. I let my tongue loll out as we played for a bit before her brother decided I was all right and joined in.
You know what, as much as I hate Ben for tricking me like this…I have to admit…this was…fun. And it was…calming. I kind of liked it. Mei was being happy and playful, something she only was around Ben usually.
I did, I liked it.
A/N-
this is the longest chapter i have posted in forever…but I GOT SIX WHOLE REVIEWS! do u guys kno how much that means to me? I only need 10 more to reach 100! And that was my major goal! :D I hope I get to reach it! You guys are like…making it happen!
Notloggedin: yeah, I do apologize for the short…ness
i didn't FORGET i FORGOT that i DIDNT
yeah…thats true…he should b…but i fail epically at interpretating characters, thus i don't want to b a director
i kno! its like "TAKE THE HUMAN WOMAN! SPARE ME! IM THE SECOND!"
no…im not smart enough to know how to use metaphors XD no i am i just don't wen i write stories which makes me even worse of an author. i use metaphors in my poems and stuff but not fanfics…or not…i mean…not metaphors i ponder. i don't purposely put metaphors into stories but if u were to hack my old PC that died and look in "…'s works" ud c a lot more
well yeah…there was loads of emotional pain…XD just not in a metaphoric way
oh now, that wouldn't work…y have hi scold her wen he can just…try to hate her altogether but fail epically U R NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS WHOLE "DRAMA" concept! i am WRITING A SOAP OPERA! XD my teacher said that today…
um…no…is it possible to b more miserable than after rape due to drinking fae shit? does anyone have the answer to that? personal experience? or ur friends? does anyone kno any1 whos gone thru that kind of emotional sickness? anyone? anyone? XD no i think the major problem with Porsche and Ben will b the fact she's so young and she's stubborn and she doesn't give a shit about others feelings half the time and she has to have her way which is something ben is really ending because he thinks she should grow up because she isn't and she's not ready for the things she's getting herself into
i think the major major problem is no one wants her to end up like mercy or something similar…she's already been shot twice
but no, i think they were miserable for entirely different reasons. Mercy because she felt she let adam down and adam because he felt he should've been there to protect her, so he feels he let her down which gets us into the topic of alphas being stupid.
speaking of which i have an idiot who was telling me watt to do 2day and y i shouldn't start fights with the guys in my lunch cuz they could beat me up and i was like "wats it to u?" and he was like "ur gonna get hurt!" and i was like "WELL ITS MY FUCKING PROBLEM THEN!"

ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE SENSE! ITS MY LIFE XD
they should, but they don't always see it

XD and then she and one of the others start making out? yeah i didn't c it as much fun, but ur right he prob could've lasted longer and he is tougher…just…im not a good author XD
