Thread: Girl in the Fire, Boy in the Storm (Absinth and Enigma)

Well, you are who you are. Kiera muttered under her breath while maintaining her gaze on the guests she didnt fancy anymore surprises. His tone didnt intimidate her neither did his form. To Kiera, he was simply another man with an over inflated ego and all too vibrant self-worth. The auburn haired woman was somewhat surprised when she felt material grace her shoulders. It was only when she glanced down that she noticed it was his shirt. It was unamusing to say the least. She didnt need to be covered well, maybe it was for his sake. With a mere roll of her eyes she tugged the shirt closed, noticing how it hung down to brush against her rear and groin leaving the majority of her covered. Well, he was rather large in comparison. The she wolf gazed over his form for a moment, taking note of the range of his scars. They were much larger than shed assumed they appeared as if they would have been fatal. Which lead to the question, how the hell did he live through such a beating? Her thoughts were soon put at ease when he began to speak. Clearly you havent heard much about me. Theres never a quiet moment. She insisted before snorting softly. Im not concerned about the spies, more about the packs that will be waiting in the wings for a signal. Her emerald gaze honed in on his scarred chest once more as he spoke. Daniel seemed all too sure of his abilities, Kiera had a thought to take him down right then and there just to show him how powerful a werewolf could be. One. Not a pack. The she wolf remained silent as she heard a flood of compliments coming her way. Kiera could handle slurs, violent outbreaks, pretty much any seemingly difficult scenario but compliments? Well, that was harder. Sure, she knew she must have looked appealing since she was being coated in his scent but to hear it so blatantly and unexpectedly, it set her a little uneasy. It was simple when they were at each others throats, and no doubt would soon be again. And to think you dont even know me yet. She cocked her brow. If he thought she was bad now, he should wait until he pissed her off personally . As he mentioned to follow the female visibly twitched before following his lead. As she fell behind her elegant gate slowed somewhat, her gaze slid along his back, taking in the traces of damage dealt to him in the past. There was a strange feel of respect that she felt rising for him. Violence and harm, now that is what she could respect. Someone holding their own. Kiera had several of her own scars, fortunately, her skin was so fair that someone would need to pay great attention to notice them. She couldnt deny his figure was appealing, the scars only aiding his appeal. Kiera hungered for strength. Clearly he had lots of it. Not to mention, his ass did look rather good. Jamie. She sighed as they climbed the stairs, her slender form slipping in front of him for a moment. Dont take it lightly. Every matter of this war demands your attention. Fights arent about fun, theyre about a display of power. The more you show your strong side the more they will contemplate attacking you. Surely you understand a display of power. She murmured, referring to his actions earlier in the evening. Jamie Eros was a strong Alpha. His pack was growing well, we used to have a treaty, his pack and ours. A light shrug of her shoulders appeared to shift his shirt to reveal a piece of skin before she snapped it shut. He disappeared off the radar after all of this mess began. If he ran, he ran for a reason. Most likely to watch how we faired against the savages that call themselves Werewolves. Hes calculated, intelligent. Most likely has a few plans on how to deal with us. Hence why he sent a runt. There was no real purpose there, no doubt to alert us to his presence. She paused slightly. Now there was a thought. Was it a summon? If my father was truthful about promising me to him, its no doubt that hes forming his own retaliation. Hence my role. She glanced toward Daniel. My kind have a way of doubting women can handle themselves. That somehow were not as vicious or as powerful as men. In fact, were far more. We have to fight for respect, they seem to get it automatically. A sight glint in her eye only enhanced her words. The fight shed had was a relentless one. As she was the Alphas daughter there was far more expected of her. So far, shed been doing well. After tonight, she wasnt so sure. As she began to pad through the hall she noticed a rather welcoming room, the double doors that led into it were left ajar. The room looked warm with hints of neutral colours then a dash of red. Kiera slowly made her way inside, padding silently over the wooden floors that soon turned into carpet as she entered the room. An antique fire place sat against the wall opposite a grand four poster bed. It looked like a room shed kill for. Kiera wasnt used to much, this was beyond anything shed ever imagined. I want this one. She turned to him, her gaze firm as she brushed it over his body once again. He wasnt bad to look at, not at all.
