Thread: Caught Pick Pocketing

Her protests about how good she was only got a grunt of mild annoyance from Marcus, he didn't care if he was the first to ever catch her picking pockets because the kind of money she was likely to get through picking pockets was chump change compared to the sort of jobs they were called into do. Museums, banks, the homes of the wealthy, the thieves of his pack mostly comprised of Neko and Fox could get in and out of all of them with little difficulty. She claimed she could do breaking and entering and no doubt she had the sort of grace that was needed but that meant very little at all to him, for those jobs she would start off on something easy with someone significant more skilled and trusted watching over her to verify how talented she really was. Most of our thieves are already in peak physical shape, your ability to teach dance will likely come at face value. He warned her with a small sneer, knowing that his large body could move much more gracefully then people would ever guess, just being strong or fast wasn't always enough to keep you on top and Marcus would do whatever was needed to stay there. Tonight though I will be assessing your talents for dance personally. He whispered, the intent quite clear in his voice, the assessment would be done only for his personal pleasure, before when she had danced it had been far to short and to many other men nearby had kept him from enjoying the sight of her movements as much as he would have liked. Alone, in his home he would have her all to himself, a private dance from the most graceful dancer he had ever seen seemed like just the way to end a day of relaxation. Her protest that she would need time to adapt to the pack and her request that she be allowed to wait till the next day however caused his tone to change, a small snarl escaping from his throat as his body stiffened quite noticeably. He had intended to have her nearly right away and there was no reason at all that he couldn't have her... he owned her, could have her how and whenever she liked and if he wanted to she would beg him for more when he was completely satisfied. You will adapt. He growled to her. We aren't meant to live by ourselves and having our own kind around is always a boon... and the first thing you will need to learn is to obey the Alpha no matter what. And her question, about why he didn't have a mate was one that only served to darken his mood... she really knew what to bring up at the worse time possible... a singular talent she possessed. He really didn't have any reason to answer her question on such a personal topic, no reason at all to tell her that not only would actually selecting a mate from the members of the Pack would complicate his standing with the others... that even in a pack with a powerful Alpha there were political factions who sought to bring about the best possible position for themselves through manipulation and underhanded means, or to tell her that he hadn't found anyone worthy of his undivided attention for any extended period of time. These things were true but none of them were her concern so instead she got an answer more fitting for her status. Why I have not found a proper mate is none of your concern little one. He growled. For the time being you will be handling any needs that I might have and if there are any objections to this you should best voice them now.
