Thread: Alpha and Omega (SilverDreamer x JacksAreWild)

Confused blue eyes blinked several times as four teenage boys answered the door and immediately burst into laughter. She recognized them immediately as the Alpha's sons of course, but Sasha did not understand what on earth was so funny. Her eyes trailed down to her uniform which was a little askew, yeah, but it wasn't like she had any stains on it or anything. Slender digits reached up and she lightly ran her fingers over her face, wondering if perhaps it had gotten dirty and that was why the boys had been laughing, but she could detect no such grime with her sensitive touch. So they must have been laughing at her just because she was who she was 'Sasha the Screw Up', 'Clumsy Sasha', the list of unwanted nicknames went on and on she had had twenty winters to accrue them, so she had a lot. When she heard footsteps that definitely belonged to a female, Sasha immediately dropped her hands to her sides and tried to stand up straight and tall like a good soldier ready to be inspected though if she really was submitting herself to inspection, she probably would have failed it, as usual her boots were never shined enough for her father's taste. She knew it must be one of the ladies of the house coming, and sure enough, it was Azura. Azura who was absolutely stunning. Azura who was a powerful alpha with dazzling eyes and an amazing smile. Azura whowho Sasha had had a major crush on ever since they had been pups and she had laid eyes on the young maiden for the first time. I ahn-noerm Sasha's tongue felt entirely too large for her mouth as she clumsily tried to indicated that she didn't need anymore time. Well she did need a little more time, but not really, just time enough to go get her horse, that was all. And yet words were rapidly failing her, her brain had somehow turned to soup, and now all she wanted to do was crawl back to her father with her tail between her legs and beg him to send someone else, anyone else on this mission. Part of her knew that she couldn't do that to him She knew that her father was the laughing stock of the town. As amazing as he was as the Captain of the Guard, some of his achievements managed to become overshadowed by his daughter's long list of blunders. Like that time she had been charged with escorting a shipment of weapons to a neighboring town. Sasha had gone off to scout ahead and make sure the way was safe. She'd found a bunch of bandits laying in wait on the main road and had chased them off into the forest, but somehow she had gotten lost when she tried to get back to the road. The caravan had gotten to the next town safely, just Sasha had gotten herself so horribly lost in the woods and it had taken a week for the search party to find her. And the worst part was, no one believed her when she said she had chased away six bandits all by herself, they just made fun of her for losing her way in the forest. She didn't even think her father had believed her when she told him the tale... Sasha had to complete this mission correctly. She couldn't bring anymore shame to her family. It was bad enough that she was a klutz. It was even worse that she wasn't suitable for marriage and a burden on her father. Well she was suitablesort ofnot really. It wasn't like wolves with her condition didn't exist werewolves that walked in one gender and then transformed into another during a full moon. It was supposed to be a good thing, a blessing it meant that she had something to give that was so important that she could mate with either gender to pass those genes on. Or something like thatthat's what her mother used to say anyways. But Sasha was already a bumbling screw-up, she didn't need to be a freak ontop of that, it was so shameful for her father, to their entire bloodline. So she steeled herself, silently vowing to get Azura to Dacia before the full moon, so that no one would question the alpha's innocence when they got there. So that her father would be proud of her well he always said he was proud of her. But he had to, he was her dad, fathers have to say that nice stuff to their children. Sasha wanted him to say it and actually mean it. She took a deep breath and then tried to speak once again, this time without the stutter. I don't need anymore time, Alpha. I just need to get my horse from the blacksmith, but that is by the city gates and on our way out. Sasha offered Azura an apologetic smile and then motioned towards the Alpha's stables. But we can get going right now if you're ready. I'll ahhelp you onto your horse and walk beside you, run beside you, if you prefer. Even weighed down by fifty pounds of armor and weaponry, Sasha was still pretty fast and light on her feet. Oh and...ah...you don't have to call me by any sort of title...Sasha is fine.
