D/C: I do not own, or wish to claim ownership of the characters from Stephenie Meyer's books. I'm just writing this story for fun, my characters and plot are mine, there may be some elements from other Fanfic stories I have read but no direct copying.
A/N: If my readers are wondering. Yes, I wrote the previous chapter a while ago but got stuck on its ending. This chapter too had an easy beginning and middle but the ending was hard. My other story Alterative Knight gets simple reviews on understanding my descriptions or that it's a good chapter. This has not gotten any of those. I would appreciate some feedback.
Chapter 15: An Alpha Summons
~Newton~
I park my suburban off the parking lot on the dirt parking spots for employees. Heading in the back door my dad calls out. "Mike, I could use some help with these Christmas lights."
Every year his dad asks him to untangle the lights crammed in a cardboard box and find the broken ones. "Ya dad, just let me put my snacks in the fridge and I'll help.
They did not get many visitors around this time. Most of the townspeople come to their store for boots when it first starts snowing. Sitting at the employee lunch table with the box on the floor and a line of lights on the table. When a line of bulls was out, I found the last lit one and started changing the dead one after it.
At 17:40 I took my fully lit strings of light and started attaching them to the shelf. My dad came up to me to check my orientation of the lights. "That looks good Mike."
"Thanks, dad. Did you hear if Charlie is still letting Isabella come live with him?"
"Yes, he is. Why would you think he is not?"
"Well, there has been talk of the incident with the Silver-Wolfs. That the Chief of police may not want his only daughter to. I don't know get hurt."
"Son, remind your friends, that the Silver eyed Wolfs have never injured someone without being attacked first."
"But they put Stuart in the hospital with a splintered forearm and the police would not do anything."
"Son, there was an incident twenty-five years ago that angered the Alpha of the Silver-Wolfs."
"What happened?"
"I do not know, but I remember the Wolfs howling all day and night for months. No one living around the Olympic Forest could get any sleep. They tried shooting the wolfs with tranks but that made it worse for the person who shot. A group of wolfs would gather around their house and howl loudly for three whole days."
"How did it stop?"
His dad was about to answer when the door *chimes*. "Welcome, can I help you find anything?"
The two men were strangers to me. I did not see their car and their skin looked white from the cold most likely. One of the strangers walks past me and he smells quite bad. Like old rotted meat and I noticed his eyes are dark red with the pupils black.
Heading to the back room to get more light. My dad can handle these strangers and the smell of them.
"Are you guys, ok? Can I get you something hot to drink?"
"Yesss, I will take a drink." The way he said it made me turn to see the man grab my father and sink his teeth into his collarbone.
"DAD" I screamed. My mom ran from behind the counter with the short sword that belong to her great-great-great grandmother. The other man seems to appear in front of my mother. He was smiling as he moved for her. "That will do you no good human and he swung his arm out to knock the short sword out of her hand.
My mom turns the blade and the edge severs his arm in the middle of his forearm. There was not that much blood but the man *screams* staggering back.
"WHAT IS THAT!"
I stood there frozen, that sword has always been forbidden for us to touch. The way it easily sliced off the stranger's arm through the bone. "Mom what?"
"Mike, pull the alarm." I went to the back room to hit the red alarm.
I stopped at the red button but before I pushed it, I remembered that there was an old alarm. It was a dirty white pull-down handle like a fire alarm. The face where a fire image should be was the head of a wolf with its eyes both heptagrams.
I did not think twice, I pulled.
~Red~
It was 17:50 and I was waiting near the only road that heads out to Seattle. My eyes closed listening for any disturbance in the forest. The birds, squirrels, and other animals including humans were making normal chattering noises.
The birds gave a warning *squawk* in the direction of the small family-owned hiking store. After, a wave of silence went over every animal in the forest.
Covering my Lycan head with my medium robe's hood. Edythe still had my light one and I caught her sniffing it in her car this morning in the school parking lot.
Running toward the origin of the bird's warning at a pace of about 20mph. I was not traveling fast in case the vision I had of Jenn's attack happens and I have to run back.
The electronic crackling continuous *howl* had me holding down my ears. Every animal, including humans, would be able to hear the afoul high pitch *howl* for hundreds of miles.
This better be an emergency and not some kids dared to set off the call. If this is a prank the Sun Alpha and I are going to make their lives hell.
Taking my hands from my ears I pace my right hand on the large trunk of a tree. I stop limiting my power. Going from a 6' looking man in the forest to my full 8' Lycan form. My eye's night vision increases so much that the forest looked like a bright sunny day rather than a dark and cloudy evening.
Around the tree, I stepped on the light-shadow created by the moon. Closing my eyes and concentrating, I walked from my side of the shadow to the other.
The sound of the high pitch *howling* increased like it was right in front of me. Opening my eyes, I was standing next to a large tree across from Newton's Olympic Outfitters.
I could tell the howling was coming from a large electric rusted PA speaker on top of the store.
Stepping away from the tree onto the flat grass before the road. The air shimmers next to me, like light hitting fog. The shimmer solidifies into a white silver 5' 8" light build Wolf. She was not as muscular as my Wolf form but longer with powerful legs that made her the fastest thing living on the North American contents, least on land.
"It is great to see you, Sun Alpha."
"(Sun Alpha) Great to see you as well, Shadow Lord."
"You know I do not like that title, how am I supposed to be the Lord of Shadow Wolfs if I'm the last Shadow Wolf?"
Even over the sound of the PA speaker, we could hear the sound of metal shelves crashing to the ground in the store. She led the way as we crossed the road. I caught the scent at the same time I saw her nose come up and sniff the air.
The smell was nothing like the Cullen's scent, they had clean clothes and showed. This was the smell of old human blood and damp moldy clothes.
Getting to the door we saw Mr. Newton on the ground with his neck bleeding. Mrs. Newton had a short sword that made a low *humming* noise as she waved it back and forth.
"[Be careful, that is a Celestial short sword made by a god or goddess. You can see it already sliced off that Vampire's hand and made a long cut down his chest.]"
"(Sun Alpha) I can see that and I will be careful."
Could someone turn off that noise disturbing the forest I thought? At that moment the high bitch howling stopped and a Vampire came out of the back room holding a struggling teenager.
"Drop that weapon and I will let you hold your son." The smelly Vampire gave her an evil grin.
The only ones to notice us were the teenager and Mrs. Newton. "You are not welcome here Vampires. Yes, I know what you are, my mother's mother was a hunter of Artemis."
"If that is true, you are no warrior."
"I may not have the skills of a trained hunter, but I have still managed to fend you off long enough."
The Vampire jumped a little when I spoke in my growly voice. "That you have!"
In the eighth of a second of time, it took the Vampire holding the boy to shift his gaze to me. I was alone.
Even with my senses fully alert, she moved from my left side, behind me, and was now behind the Vampire at the back of the store. The movement was so fast, she looked to me like she turned into disappearing fog.
The Vampire facing Mrs. Newton did not take his eyes off the Celestial blade in her hands.
"Your savior is a tall human and I do see or hear the sound that weapon of yours is making from him."
"I left mine at home. Now if someone could tell me what happened here, we can come to an agreement."
"We came into this lovely store to have a few drinks. I was drinking from that human when this woman came out with a blade. I had to stop from finishing him off when she cut off my charges arm."
"So, you're in charge of this group of nomads."
"What do you mean it is just the two of us?"
"I have been tracking your group for weeks now. I am aware there are two more in this group, a man with dyed hair and a woman. Your group seemed to be only hunting in Seattle and camping out here in the Olympic Forest."
The expression on the lead Vampire went scared for a second then went to neutral. "I did not get your name."
"I have many names Depending on how old you are. Vampires commonly know me as Red Shadow."
The vampire leader lets his captive go. Dropping the teen to the floor he took a step back. He stumbled over something and I saw him quickly glance down to see the white silver Wolf.
He makes a tarried *yelp* and jumps to the side away from the Sun Alpha. "We are leaving."
"What? We have to get rid of the evidence. You told me that the Volturi will come after us if we leave witnesses. I will take care of the tall man."
"NO!" The Vampire man shouted but the young Vampire standing off with Mrs. Newton jumped back and spun at me. He ran across the short distance.
He was moving slow, for a Vampire. To me, it felt like ten minutes before he got to me. For a slow human, it would seem beyond human fast.
The Vampire leader tried to grab the back of his charge's smelly shirt, but he was too late.
"Sorry, wrong place and time." He said, smiling, just before I shot out my left hand, sinking my five claws into his chest and out his back.
The young Vampire's body went ridge as blood ran down his chest. Vampires do have blood in their veins, it just has to be replaced. When they drink blood, the new blood gets absorbed into their veins. The blood does not move because of their lack of heartbeat but the venom in my claws causes the blood to flow out of their body.
I was not holding back, like with Emmett. The young Vampires skin went from chalk white to ash gray as the blood stopped gushing from his chest.
The Vampire leader pulls his young Vampire back and my claws slide out of his chest. "I told you no. Why did you not listen to me?" The young Vampire did not respond. His face was ash gray.
He glares up at me. "Save him. We followed your rules, we did not kill anyone here."
"If you are aware of the restrictions and rules. Then you know that he attacked me, giving me the right to kill him and I have witnesses."
Looking at me I could see the sadness in his eyes. "I have heard of you Wolf Protector, Red Shadow and you are known for high prices for a favor."
"Tell me how did you find out about the restrictions in this zone. Did the Volturi inform you, like they were entrusted to? That one said you told him about their rules. What about the other Supernatural communities' rules?"
"I did not hear about the restrictions here from the Volturi. I was changed, to die in the Vampires' war against the other Supernatural beings. Running away from my captives I came here, where I met the SunWolf King and the Werewolf Guardian. They told me the rules."
"What makes you think the rules have changed after the Volturi lost?"
"Well, I heard the SunWolf King and Guardian passed away." I gave the guy a look like he was an idiot.
"That is the stupidest thing I have heard in twenty winters." I wave my hand in a forward geyser.
She came around to stand next to me and I pointed. "Let me introduce you. This is the current SunWolf King and I am officially the current Werewolf Guardian."
~Newton~
Mrs. Newton had gone to her son still holding her ancestor's short sword. "Mom is dad going to be ok and what is going on? I pulled the handle like you said then it started making a loud howling noise instead of a fire bell. That man grabbed me, tore out the wiring for the alarm, and carried me."
"Remember when you were five and a young teenage girl came into town."
"Yes, I remember that you insisted on this strange young pretty girl install an alarm for if a bear got in the store. Dad was angry that you would not let him do periodic tests on the alarm."
"Yes, and when you were ten your friends dared you to pull the forbidden alarm."
"You ran in, turn off the noise it was making. Yelled at all my friends and then marched out of the store."
"That is a gift from Artime the goddess of the hunting moon. Her Wolfs, the ones blessed by her to protect her hunters, will come to that call. When I left, I had to explain that my son had pulled the alarm without an emergency."
"Who did you have to talk to?"
She helps her son to his feet. "Look over there."
The first thing I notices was the very large man and a large white Silver-Wolf standing next to the man. The man who grabbed me was now holding up his companion. "You mean the Silver-Wolf?"
"No, not her. Outside you can barely make him out in the light of the parking lot."
"I do not see anything out there."
"Ok follow my lead."
~Red~
I could sense the twenty other Supernatural Wolfs stalking around the store. "I will be willing to save your companion if you promise to spread word that Vampires should stay clear of this territory. If they ask, tell them it will be like hunting in Tennessee's Nantahala National Forest."
"Ok, I will, now."
Reaching down I put my right palm on the younger Vampire's chest and the gray color drains from his face and returns to chalky white.
"There I'm done, I will tell my group to let you two leave without trouble.
The Vampire looked at her. "Will you let us leave SunWolf King?"
"(Sun Alpha) Yes, I will tell my pack to let you leave without trouble."
The vampire gathers his companion in his arms and heads for the door. I opened the door to let him out and standing at the door was a 5' 2" solid dark gray Wolf. The only part of him not dark gray was his black fangs and claws.
The Vampire stood frozen in place with horror on his face. I was reading his surface thoughts so I caught what horrified him so much.
The SunWolf and Guardian said I could go but this is the Alpha of the Hunter-Wolfs. That woman with the deadly sword said she is under the goddess protection and this is one of her blessed Wolfs. This is bad. I should have never come here, I'm dead.
"(Dark Claw) The Guardian of this forest and the Wolf Protector have given these Vampires permission to leave. What do you say?"
It was quiet as Dark Claw stared at Mrs. Newton. "If you had asked me first then my answer would have been different, but I trust the Sun King and the Shadow Lord's judgment.
"(Dark Claw) Then I will tell my pack to let you leave without trouble." Dark Claw stepped to the side of the door and the Vampire left quickly, as we all heard the sound of police sirens.
The group of Wolfs outside fowled the two Vampires until they left the Olympic territory. I check Mr. Newton, he lost some blood but was going to be alright.
It was getting late for her. SunWolfs do not stay up at night being way stronger when the sun is facing this side of the earth. She nodded her head and disappeared out the door.
"I have to go. You know none of what happened here can be reported."
Mrs. Newton spoke up "Wait the alarm was smashed by that Vampire, what if we need help again."
"I will call someone to come and upgrade the system."
"(Dark Claw) I will be close by, until then."
"Thank you, Dark Claw."
Running back to the spot where I thought Jenn runs into that Vampire. I hear the *squeal* of tires and then Jenn's voice. "Are you ok, do you need help?"
Changing directions, I ran for the sound of her voice at a speed that had me bumping into trees. Getting closer I heard *Aaaaah* and the *crash* of metal on trees.
I was just coming up to the tree line before the road, when I hear the *Crunch* and Jenn screams. There was no waiting for something to happen, he had injured her badly. Her arm is going to need major surgery and she may never get full use of it again.
He was dragging her by her broken arm making her cry out in pain and whimper. I step out onto the flat area of grass and levees, still in my true Lycan form with my hood down.
She gasps and cries "Guardian, help me."
"No, one is here to save you, little girl." He hisses. He leans forward to bite her. *Aaaaah* she screamed.
I step on a stick under the levees but I'm already in reach of him. He barely turned his head to look my way. I sink my left-clawed hand into his right shoulder.
My four digits in the back of his shoulder blade and my thumb just below his collar bone. I pulled him back, and turning his body I caught my right pinky, ring, and middle digits on his jaw tearing it off.
Rotating my right hand down, throwing the Vampire's jaw on the ground and slicing off his right arm at the elbow.
Jenn stumbles back clutching her limp left arm. The Vampire was shorter than me so I lifted him to my eye level. "Look what you have done. You injured her not while drinking, but before. This is a blatant disregard for the rules."
His eyes get wide and he struggles to get away by kicking at me. "Stop that. I will let you off with a punishment and not death."
He stops struggling and looks at me with his mouth moving, trying to speak without a lower jaw.
"Here is what I'm thinking. You have likely damaged that girl's arm so badly she will never play sports or run in the rain without it causing pain. So, as the saying goes, an arm for an arm."
Bending down I pick up the Vampire's severed arm. Filling my mouth with venom, I sink all four of my fangs into the middle of it.
He makes a muffled *scream* and tries to grab his arm with his still attached one. It is far too late. The arm turns coal black and then crumbles to black ash.
"Now leave and do not come back." With my right hand now empty I make a fist and punch him in the chest. *Crack* sounds as his chest caves in and I let my left claw slide out of his shoulder.
He sails through the air, over the road into a tree with a loud *Boom*
I shift to my 6' Lycan form and pull my hood back over my head. Jenn was back in her car trying to open her purse with one hand. In my Lycan voice without the harsh growl. "Jenn, I was telling the truth. A normal human doctor cannot fix your injury."
"Who do you know?" she stumbled over her words.
"I may not look it, but I have lived many, many human years. In those years I have studied humans and how fragile they are."
"If a human doctor cannot fix me then, can you?"
"Your adrenaline is up, making you ignore the pain. The man shattered the ball joint that connects your upper arm to your shoulder. Human Doctors call it the glenoid cavity. I do know people that can fix that like it was never shattered."
"Oh, that would be…." Jenn drops the phone she finally manages to get and falls toward the pavement, out of the car.
I catch her before she can add head injury too. Being extremely careful holding Jenn, I bent and picked up her phone. Access the emergency call function on the locked phone. I tap in the doctor's number.
The black Mercedes pulled up five minutes after I called him. Carlisle and the blond Roselie get out of the car.
"Come on, let's get her in the car." Carlisle helps me put the passed-out Jenn into the back seat of his car.
"What do you need me to do?" Rose asked.
"I need you to follow me in Jenn's car to my house. There I will call a healer and I will fix her car.
I picked up the driver door to Jenn's car and ran along the road with the two Vampires following me.
The cars stop in front of the garage, Carlisle and Rose approach me. "Why did you stop? I do not see a house." Carlisle asked.
Putting the door down, I face the two. "Carlisle Cullen and Rosalie Hale, Vampires I welcome you to the Wolf-House." The confusion on their faces went straight to shock.
Rose spoke first. "This is why she cannot find your den. It's, it's… what is it?
"The Wolf-House's foundation is imprinted with several magic circles. One of them creates a glamor around the property and one of the others shifts it from normal space. You could run right through the house."
"Well let's get Jenn inside and we can take a look around." Rose said with excitement.
Carlisle cared Jenn into the house while I held the door. Rose points to the sleeping white horse with a black blaze on the left side of the porch. "[Why do you have a horse sleeping on your porch?]"
Shrugging, I waved her into the house, quietly closing the door.
"I laid her down on the large couch. What now?" I walk over to the phone on the counter.
Carlisle follows me as Rose runs from room to room. "ooh this shower, why are all the ceilings so high it seems shorter outside, Is it like the Tardis? Did you get the idea from Doctor Who?"
"No Rose, the Dragons have been building houses like this, long before Doctor Who was an idea in someone's head."
"What, Dragons built this house?"
"Yes, Dragons are skilled in rune magic which protects this house. I will tell you more but first let me finish my call"
P: "What can I do for you, Shadow Wolf Lord?" I did not bother correcting the misused title.
"I'm in need of a healer that knows human bone structure and can reconstruct a Glenoid cavity."
P: "Oh dear that is bad. Let me see. I have an Elf healer living with Dragons who frequently repairs Rider's shoulders when they fall off their partners."
"What community are they living with?"
P: "He lives in the Tennessee community and has an Avian friend who takes him places."
"That is good, could you call me back at this number whether he takes the job or not? I'm located at the newly built Wolf-House in Washington near Forks"
P: "I will, Guardian." Then she hung up. She called me Shadow Wolf Lord on purpose, the first time.
"Ok, Rose, what are your questions?"
"Well first." She came up behind me to pull my hood from my head. "ROSE" Carlisle scolded her.
Rose jumps back putting her hand to her mouth, which I could see was hanging open.
Carlisle did not move, he just stared at my Lycan form. Then he pointed to me. "It's you!"
Rose looks from her father to me and back several times. "What do you mean? Do you know him?"
"Before any of you came into my life, I was helping with the second Cholera Pandemic. I told you all about my times helping with diseases because I could help when others feared getting sick. Around 1815 I heard rumors of a lone figure roaming the county in a black wood robe. The rumor was this figure was spreading the disease or was the reaper of death. In 1817 I saw this reaper holding a dying young girl the same age as Edward. He was howling in loss and pain."
In a sad low voice "[Did you hear what she said to me, Doctor?]"
"Yes, I heard and will never forget."
It was silent for a minute then Rose. "What did she say?"
Carlisle looked at me and I nodded a yes. "She whispered, I found you my soul-love. You told her no, that you found her but too late. You started crying so I barely heard the last thing she said. Promise is for every life."
Carlisle and Rose did not speak as tears tracked down my face. "What is a soul-love?"
Carlisle answered "you know how when you first saw Emmett and you could not do anything to cause him pain? You tried to come back during his change but it caused you to scream in pain."
I could see Rose shutter from the thought of her mate in pain.
"Soul-lovers are stronger than soul mates. Soul mates are just two souls that are similar enough to match. Soul-lover is the other half of your own soul, once you meet no other similar soul will be right. I told you that I was asked to help Ms. Hood with the loss of her Soul-love. That's because I'm one of the very few living beings to survive the loss of their other half."
Rose and Carlisle were shocked. "But you just found her, is that different from Ms. Hood?" Rose asked.
"
No, that was the fifth time I found her in one of her lives"
"What, when was the first?"
"I cannot tell you. It is too painful."
The phone rang before Rose could ask me another hard question. P: "Shadow Wolf Lord, the healer is on his way. His estimated time to arrive is 01:10 tomorrow and I have reminded his friend not to eat whatever they feel like."
"Thank you, I would not like to explain to the others that I called a healer and his Avian friend ate someone."
After hanging up the phone Carlisle asked. "Why do you not have a healer located here?"
"That is simple, all the Supernatural beings that live here, that I'm protecting have rapid healing. I can treat a native wolf or get the horse healer, who lives not far from here."
"Do you know what happened early before you called me?"
"If you mean that howling, that was nothing just a normal night of me dealing with rude guests."
"Are these guests dead?"
"No"
Rose came up to me and looked at my face closely. "How do you kiss her?" Showing confusion on my face. "Jenn and I do not kiss."
"I was not talking about Jenn. I meant Edythe, you too went out Thursday and she will not say. Were you a wolf, dose she now?" She gestured to my Lycan form.
"Rose you should not ask personal questions." Carlisle scolded but I could see his own curiosity.
"Yes, we had a hunting date Thursday night. No, I'm not showing or telling how we kiss and yes, Edythe has seen me in this form and knows what I am."
Rose was going to ask more when a phone started *ringing*. The two both polled out cell phones and both said. "Not mine."
Rose went over to Jenn's purse and pulled out her *ringing* cell phone. "It's her dad. What should I do?" We decided not to answer it, once the healer got here and Jenn was awake, she could call her father back.
After five continuous calls, Carlisle's phone started *ringing*. "It's Esme." He answers his cell. "Hello sweety, is something wrong."
The voice on the phone was not Esme, it was Alice's high voice.
P: "I had a vision of the townspeople roaming the wood. They came to our house to ask if we would help find Jennifer Marks. Then I tried to call you but you would not answer so I used Esme's phone and you answered right away".
I gestured to Carlisle to hand me his phone. Handing it over I say in my growly voice. "You know Alice, staring in the looking glass from a reflection is not good for your eyes."
P: "A reflection is better than nothing, Red."
"Well, I'm sorry Alice but I'm going to muddy that reflection."
P: "And how are you going to do that?"
"Simple, did those searchers in your vision have a flier with a phone number."
P: "Yes, fuck that just gave me a big headache. What did you do or what are you going to do? I cannot see the group of people or the number on the flier anymore."
"Thank you for letting us know. By"
I handed the phone back to Carlisle and picked up my landline on the kitchen counter.
A female voice came through the line. P: "Forks police depo is this an emergency."
"Yes, I need to talk to Deputy Marks."
P: "He is not available. What is the emergency?"
"Then let me talk to Chef Swan. If he is not available, have one of them call me back at this number. Tell them it is about Jennifer Marks."
I gave the lady the third priority line number to my phone. Once she hangs up, I turn off the do not disturb after a certain hour on just this phone.
It was 22:17 Carlisle's phone *chimes* with a text. Looking at it. "I have to go, told the hospital I had an emergency and would start late."
As they were stepping off the porch. "Please do not tell Edythe or the rest of them where I live."
"She may catch it from our thoughts. We have not been able to hide anything from the mindreading siblings."
"I'm aware of that but it will be harder, now that you cannot see the house. In a friendly tone. "Carlisle Cullen and Rosalie Hale Vampires I un-welcome you to the Wolf-House."
The exception on their face, as to them the house, garage, driveway, and car parked there disappears.
The phone rang at 22:34. Picking up the phone, a gruff male voice demanded. "What do you know about my daughter?"
~Jenn~
I was sleeping on my chest in just a bra and jeans. The pain in my left shoulder was getting worse but I could not move to rub it. Too tired after driving straight to Seattle rushing through the stores for the early thanksgiving sails. Then driving back home before the city was full of other shoppers.
Moving my legs, I realized that I was still in my shoes. I must have crashed onto my bed after or no this was not a bed. Moving my right arm, I felt the back of the couch. Oh, I crashed on the couch I should have drank a coffee. If I had fallen asleep at the wheel.
The pain in my left shoulder went up as I remember my driver's door getting ripped off. I was in a car accident and was not on a couch but on a hospital bed with padded sides.
Opening my eyes and turning my head. I was in a large room on an actual long, super large couch.
It came back to me, a strangely strong man ripped me from my car and as he was dragging me to the wood to do terrible things to me. I saw something come up behind the man.
I was panicking and then a voice said "Guardian, help me."
A cool male voice spoke behind me on the couch. "He is not here, he received a call a few minutes ago. Something about a Shifter with anger problems."
"Who are you, where am I? Why does my shoulder feel like it's been trampled by a horse?"
"My name's Fairwind. Does this feel better?" I felt a hand on the back of my shoulder and heat soothes the pain. I sigh, "that feels great, don't stop."
I could not help but let this stranger rub my bare shoulder with his soothing hands. "You did not answer me. Where am I?"
He removes his hand from my back, I was going to ask him to keep going. I feel his hands back on me rubbing cream into the spot. I embarrassedly *Moan* in pleasure.
"You are in the Wolf Guardian's house. He brought you here and called for a healer. I received and took the job."
"I remember, he said a human doctor could not fix my arm joint."
"Glenoid cavity is what most human doctors named it. We keep up to date with human terms when it comes to the medical field. That is how I knew what to bring, to heal your injury."
"Did anyone call my parents and where is my car?"
"Yes, the Guardian told me he spoke to your father hours before I arrived. You're more worried about a car, which is outside and not on where your shirt is?"
I felt his right hand, which had been rubbing my left shoulder, go across my back to my right shoulder.
*Gasping* "No, I can see my shirt right there." I tried to point but pain shot through me.
"Sorry, I should have told you not to move your left arm unstill I'm done."
It took him a while to rub the spasms out of my back.
"Have you done this before?"
"Yes, just not on someone so soft and beautiful." I felt my face get red from his compliment.
Fairwind was quiet as he worked on my back. I could not turn my head to see him or look around the room.
"Fairwind, do you know the Guardian?"
"If you mean the Wolf Guardian, that is a no. This is the first time I have met him. I didn't even meet the previous Werewolf Guardian. She died four winters ago from old age."
"She died, how old was she? I have always heard of the Wolf Lord living in Forks."
"I live in the supernatural world and get confused too. Have you heard of the Wolf Protector?
"Yes, that is the Guardian right."
"Yes and no. It's like a title or rank. A Protector is a lower rank and there can be many of them. A Guardian is the highest rank among the people. He or she could tell their kind to jump and they would all do it. There is only one Guardian per race at a time."
I thought about that and not even the President of the United States could get every American to jump on command. To have that kind of power it was no wonder everyone living around Forks feared angering the Shadow Wolf god.
"What about the Wolf god that lives here?"
"I do not want to say something that will get me in trouble with him. I will say he is not a god. As for what I will say. The Wolf Protector you have heard about, as well as all the people who live on the land and in the sea. Accepted the title of Werewolf Guardian three Winters ago."
Goosebumps and a shiver ran down my back. "Did I hurt you? I should concentrate instead of talking."
"No, it's just. You're telling me that the Wolf, who protects the other wolfs and horses. Is now the highest-ranked Wolf in the world and he could start a howling."
I felt a shudder from Fairwind's hands on my back. Before I could ask what, he spoke. "Let's change the topic?"
"Ok, if the Guardian is a Werewolf, then what are you?" He was silent for a long time. Still rubbing that lotion into my back.
I could not tell how much time passed until he removed his hand from my back. "You can move now, I'm done.
Being careful with my left arm, I moved slowly to a sitting position on the large couch. It did not hurt at all, even the stiffness was gone.
Turning my head to the side, I did not see a guy sitting on the couch next to me. I did see a large bird with black back wings, with a dark green belly and brown thick stripe going around it.
It had to be fake, it was hard to judge its size but it looked over 7' in height. Standing I saw its head turn to look at me. I froze, it was real and I thought back to my mythology readings.
"A Falcon?" Now that I was standing and staring at it. I realized that the brown stripes were straps for a riding saddle.
I jump and turn from the sound of the kitchen sink turning on. I keep the Falcon in view as I look at the guy washing his hands.
He looked like a teenage boy, about 15 and he was hot. I forgot about the big Falcon and started to open my mouth as he came around the counter towards me.
I stood there frozen as he looked at my chest. He is taller than me with a dark tan and a slightly muscular build.
He steps in front of me and reaches out his hand to touch my left shoulder. His eyes were blue and seemed to be glowing.
"Do you have any other injuries or feel pain?" I'm too embarrassed to answer him, standing there in my bra and jeans.
"No, I do not think that is a good thing to do." I was confused about what he said.
"She may get angry with me about it. No, I'm not glamouring myself to impress her.
"What are you talking about?" He looked down at me. Putting his other hand on my right shoulder he leans in.
Our lips touch and I could not stop my hand from going around him. I pulled him in closer deepening the kiss. My breasts get hard as I press them into his chest. Tongue deep in his mouth I slid my hands up his shirt to try and pull it off.
I felt his hands slide down my shoulders to the strap of my bra. Getting it off, he tosses it to the floor. His hands go straight down my waist to pull down my jeans.
Getting them down past my knees. He moves his hand back up to my panties. I feel his hand go into my underwear to rub my pussy.
Through my *moans* I hear the loud *screech* from the Falcon. It comes up to us and unfurled its wings like a wall. Blocking the front door to the house.
Fairwind breaks away from our kiss and quietly starts pulling up my pants. "Shit, you told me to. Ok, you said to go for a kiss, not have sex with her in the middle of the Guardian's living room."
He was talking to the Falcon and I was more frustrated that it had interrupted us. I stop him from helping me with my bra he picked up. "Jenn, I really would love to continue this but Grace is telling me that the Guardian is on his way inside."
I was still out of it from his advance but I quickly remembered, this is not his or my house. My dad would have been quite angry if he caught us having sex. What would a stranger do if he caught us doing it in their house?
With my bra back on, I go over to the couch and put on my shirt. I stood behind Fairwind and the Falcon. Who lowered and tucked its wings into its back.
The front door opens and I let out a shock *squeak* at the sight of the 6' Wolf-man. He was wearing dark, tactile padded armor. His head was that of a wolf and his hands were large and clawed.
"Fairwind, I need you to look at someone." He spoke with a grown but it was not directed at us. It seemed he was annoyed with something or someone else.
"Yes, Guardian. Who is it you wish me to look at." I did not have time to get my head in order to ask questions about the Guardian not being a wolf.
"You may come in now." I wanted to see who came in behind him.
"I'm talking out loud, so they can understand what is going on." I barely hear the light padding of feet on the porch.
I *gasp* as the light gray Wolf walks into the house. "That does not look good" Fairwind walks across the room over to the Wolf. Its lower jaw is not lined up with its upper.
Following behind him, I got a better look at the large Wolf. Its right lower fang was pushed up into its mouth. Blood was running out of its mouth and dripping onto the floor.
Fairwind put his right hand under its jaw. "This is going to hurt. I need to force your jaw to break, to reset it. I will heal it a little to help set it, but then let your own healing takeover."
The Wolf nods its head up and down. I saw tears run down its face. Fairwind put his left hand on top of its head and I saw his eyes glow brighter blue.
Small *popping* and *cracking* sounds came from the Wolf's jaw. More tears ran down its face, but it did not pull away.
With a *click* Fairwind manipulates the Wolf's jaw down over and into place. He held his hand steady and I could see small ripples of its skin.
*Ring, Ring* I jump from the sound of the phone. The Guardian goes over to a large corded phone on the kitten table. He picks up the phone. "Hello. Yes, she is."
He turned to look at us. "Jennifer, it is for you."
I approach him cautiously and he hands me the phone. He was friendly about it but I still shied away from his appearance.
Putting the phone to my ear. "Hello, who is this?" My dad's voice came through the phone. P: "Hony I'm so happy you are alright. He told me you got into an accident on your way home. How is your arm?"
"I'm ok dad, my arm is all healed up."
P: "Ok, I wish I could come get you, but the Guardian will not let humans know where he lives."
"I kind of understand that. I will be staying here a little longer." We talked for a bit and I watched Fairwind run his hands over the light gray Wolf. I felt a pang of jealousy about him giving the Wolf attention.
After reassuring my dad, I walked over to Fairwind and put my hand into his left. I leaned into his shoulder and put my head on it.
"I have extra rooms you two can use. Graceseal, if you're hungry let me know. You can come with me and we will find you some cloth."
We all watch the Guardian and the gray Wolf, walk down the hall into a room.
