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

The she wolf drifted toward the edge of the pool as she noticed Danielle taking a good few steps back. It took some time for everything Danielle had told her to sink in. The female chuckled lightly as the water splashed and rippled with the force of impact. Well, Im keen to see what hes capable of. Kiera murmured softly as if she were thinking aloud. Ill keep that in my arsenal. The she wolf announced as she watched Danielle closely. I have to admit I was curious about your family. Wed heard rumours for some time. Some people thought you were the first brand of werewolf. Or some strange mutation. I hadnt considered Id end up here though. It was the truth, and a rather painful truth. There was something inside her that felt as if she had simply given up. I dont plan on getting your brother horny, not in the slightest. She couldnt help but tut lightly. Hes not my type. It was a blatant cover up but she didnt need to add that on her list. I just need a few things to get under his skin with to ensure hell cast me out of his mind the moment this is all over. Then she could go back to her fairly normal routine. Train. Hunt. Sleep. Repeat. There was no space in her world for a family, no space for a lover. Everything she chose to do had been to fit the mold of her purpose. Find a strong pack, find a good mate and work together to lead a strong, fearless pack. Right now, she wasnt sure how far shed swayed but she was determined to get back to life as normal. Anger is a powerful thing. Kiera piped up as she snagged the bottle of whiskey from the side, taking a large gulp. Oh itd take a substantial amount to get her feeling the effects, which just meant she could enjoy more of the smoky, rich taste. You know, itd crossed my mind if hed ever return. We heard stories from many different packs as the threat began to grow. Different stories from fearful people. It was amusing though, it seems not one of them dared to try and put your brother in his place. Some of my kind seem to have more mouth than strength. She mused softly as she leaned up on the edge of the pool, taking another sip of the strong alcoholic beverage. The amber fluid tasted all too good. Kiera could taste the soft hints of fruit along with the freshly smoked wood. The she wolf knew all too well that sometimes heightened senses were more of a curse than a blessing. Im going to find a large tub and finish this off before promptly falling asleep and snoring until the sun wakes me. Have a good evening, Danielle. Kiera offered her a hint of a smile as she placed her palms flat on the side of the pool, raising herself similar to how a gymnast would. Once she was up she gathered her clothing and the bottle before showing herself out. The female padded through the home, small droplets of water cascaded down her body with every movement. They trickled and slid down her graceful, creamy flesh. It had been a rather eventful evening. By the time she reached her room Kiera had drank a great deal of the bottle, finally feeling a little buzz. As she dropped her clothing by the bed she noticed how the sheets seemed crinkled. Her brow slowly lifted as she gazed around the room. A figure in the dark began to move. Kiera immediately rushed toward them, halting as they spoke. Im here to help, I saw what happened earlier, we have to be quick. Kiera frowned slightly. Adam? The male sighed softly. Shh, I think I triggered something when I entered the grounds. Some weird sound rang He paused as he heard movement, from what she could make out his eyes were glimmering with fear. Adam. She stated, I chose to stay. His voice was gruff as he continued. We need you. Marcus is trying to take over from your father. Its messy, He added. He thinks you disrespected us by making such a scene to remain here. He thinks youve given up hope and are backing the wrong side. Why wasnt she surprised. Marcus had been gunning for her spot. The moment she left he swept it up. Thats tough, theres real power here. I have to see it through. This could mean the end of all war for us. Dont you all get that? I know its not an Alpha move to stick with another alliance but this is what we need to do. My father even said so. Adam was already collecting her clothing. Sorry Kiera but we need to go. You cant just let us suffer under his command. Hes hasher than you. Several of us were injured in the run after the event. Several. He is pushing us to death. He huffed as he latched onto her arm, attempting to hurl her forward, toward the window. No, Adam. Adam had been her Beta for some time. He was strong, dependable but he wasnt up to such choices. Now get going, I need to bath. The male gave her a confused frown as she went to turn on the lights and make her way into the bathroom after swiftly evading his hold. Kiera, nobody is going to want to see you if you let us down after this. We need you. The female simply growled softly. Ill sneak out tomorrow. Now go. Once he was gone she dipped into a hot bubble bath that had just began to fill. No doubt there would be a man hunt for an intruder. All she was going to do was sip the whisky and enjoy her bath.
