Turned to Ash

             A whimper rolled over Callum’s lips and he immediately stopped when the other guy raised his fist and voice. He was running on auto pilot, pur instinct controlling his actions and thinking. Blue eyes were widened with shock, panic, pain —— probably anyone could tell him what to do right now and he would comply.

             At first he shook his head cause, damn, he couldn’t sign at all. But nodding and shaking his head were easy, as long as that was all the guy wanted from him. So he nodded fiercely and curled his fingers into fists. Alpha. Brother… his brothers! Another shiver ran down his spine and made him shake like a leave in the wind, his eyes losing focus as he looked over the boy’s shoulder in the direction of his house.

   He didn’t want to touch him. Tavi had always been touch aversive, especially when it came to people he didn’t know. Being a werewolf and part of a pack had changed that AND hyper increased it. When he was with his packmates, Tavi could now curl up with them without discomfort, but now, when it came to strangers, just the smallest gestures seemed to overwhelm his senses. 

   But––– Tavi reached out and curled his fingers around their wrist. “Okay, come on. We have to RUN. The hunters? They’re still out here.” And Tavi couldn’t trust his hearing to know WHERE those hunters were, so that meant they had to go, now. “Come on.” He tugged his arm until they stumbled forward and Tavi continued increasing their pace until they managed a brisk jog back toward his alpha’s shop.

@multiiplicit gets a starter for Peter <3

“I’m gonna catch you!” Luke sprinted after his sister, kicking up leaves the deeper they ran into the woods. His eyes were glowing gold and pointed fangs escaped his grin. Pumping his arms faster, Luke watched his sister skid to a stop, but he still launched himself without thinking, lightly tackling her into the leaves. “See? See! I told you I would--” his head lifted, glowing eyes and fangs shifting back into normal human features the instant he caught sight of the man before them.

Connie rolled out from under Luke and sat up with wide eyes, a leaf tangled in her light blonde hair, sneakers still flashing pink and purple. She reached out and grabbed Luke’s arm. Luke remained frozen and staring unblinkingly at the man’s claws.

After a moment, Connie found her voice. “Are you like us?”

   “Do you ever wonder if your  parents would be proud of the  way you turned out?”

[ashwoodpack-blog]

  “Nah. My parents weren’t exactly the loving type.” He frowned at her.     “Aren’t you the girl Ash keeps               hanging with?”

[popsfangs-archive]

          “Okay – fair point. What if I’m a special werewolf though?”

[ashwoodpack-blog]

     “You’re not. You’re something else.”

[darkesthowl]

             Callum’s lower lip was quivering since fear was taking control over his body —— right now everyone was an enemy, someone who could potentially cause him harm ; or worse. Right now he wasn’t the natural predator but the prey, a frightened dear that was ready to jump at any sound. However, even though adrenaline was still rushing through his veins, the exhaustion was slowly coming through —— his legs were trembling, barely able to carry his weight. It was only a matter of minutes before he would finally break down.

             A whimper rolled over his lips at the sudden command and he hunched his shoulders as if he wanted to hide in his own body. His shoulder was throbbing but Callum barely realized the pain. There was a void inside his head that occupied all his thinking. ❛ They are still out there. They killed them. They killed all of them. I have to go back… I have to… my brothers… ❜ Callum stumbled, looking as if he was drunk or a sleep walker, as he headed towards the house. ❛ They’re all dead. ❜

     Tavi was good at reading people. Not as good as Ash, but good enough at it that he could look at a person and tell what they were thinking or know where they were at mentally. This kid? They were teetering on the edge of a massive cliff, practically hanging by their fingertips off the side of the grand canyon or about to cannonball into the depths of Tartarus. (Damn, Micah was starting to rub off on him).

     “Hey, hey stop.” He wasn’t an alpha. He didn’t have the command in his voice that Ash had. But damn, he knew how to fake it. Tavi’s hands curled into fists then lifted them again to sign. “I said STOP. You hear me? You read sign? I can’t hear you right now so listen up cause I won’t know if I need to repeat myself.” He took a deep breath. It was meant to be steadying, but the scent of blood did nothing to help clear his mind. “Come with me. Okay? Come with me. My alpha, my brother, he can help you. Nod if you understand.”

Warm was a good word. She knew that much, and so she was happy to take a few small steps into the house and out of that terrible rain. Fire and water were not meant to mix, and the child was far too aware of that at the moment.

Glancing up at the other, she didn’t move too far into the house, just far enough for herself to be actually out of the terrible weather. As powers began to kick in, small amounts of steam started to come off of the girl and her clothes. This for her was normal, as she had been through many tests involving herself and water.

As she looks at the other, she speaks up once again. “Who?” She asks softly, pointing at him.

[ashwoodpack-blog]

Living with three boys and his daughter had taught Ash to be prepared with towels stashed all around the house, never more than a few steps out of reach. So when she stepped inside he snagged one from the stash by the door and slowly - so not to startle her - crouched down to her eye level with the towel in his hands.

Only, she didn’t appear to need the towel. Ash watched silently with a carefully controlled expression as steam rose off her shoulders and her clothes dried before his eyes. “Ash,” his voice was soft and calm, and he lifted a finger to point at himself as she had done. “I’m Ash. I live here.”

Did she speak another language? Did she have trouble hearing? Was she like Tavi? There was something clearly mentally off about the girl and her ability to communicate, but Ash couldn’t yet tell if it was developmental, situationally occurrent, or just the way she had been born. Ash moved his finger to point at her. “Who... are you?”

Booboo and Cameron from Disney’s Descendants go on an EPIC SCAVENGER HUNT

[darkesthowl]

             The throbbing pain in his shoulder was unbearable. Callum had no idea what hit him, but it had to be something he was allergic ( ??? ) to. Not knowing about wolfs bane or silver at all, the pup grew up sheltered and protected. Until tonight. Blood was dripping down his arm but Callum didn’t stop running. The moment he fell out that window and landed hard on the backyard he jumped on his feet and ran —— like his brother said. When he almost reached the tree line, he heard gun shots and three cut out yips that pierced his heart. What the hell was going on there?!

             Callum was looking over his shoulder back to the window that was his room when something — or someone, suddenly bumped into him. The collision send him stumbling back, landing on his side. He cried out in pain when the ground and his shoulder had a date so it took him a moment to realize what just happened. It was the snarl that brought him back to reality, making him crawl back in fear.❛ Hu-hunter? No. Are they here? Who are you?! LEAVE ME ALONE! ❜

[ashwoodpack-blog]

     Blood. The scent was so thick and heavy with pain that Tavi glanced down at himself to make sure that he hadn’t been hit. But he wasn’t in pain, and the heavy suffocating scent wasn’t his own, nor Ash’s, or Micah’s, or Luke’s, or Connie’s. It belonged to the other boy before him, the other WOLF, currently crawling away from him as though his life depended on it.

     Tavi watched his lips move and he heard him speak words, but he couldn’t process them. It was several seconds before Tavi even realized the other boy was yelling, the words HUNTERS and HERE and ALONE processing but everything else slipping out of his grasp as though someone had hit backspace on his mind. “SHHH! Be quiet!” Yet even as his hand moved to press a finger to his lips in emphasis, Tavi caught sight of the wound. He froze. “They shot you.”

open.

“Cold.” The girl standing on your porch right now obviously hasn’t been having a good time. The rain she’s standing in is making her shiver and shake like never before, looking almost like she might pass out if she stays in it too much longer. The past few hours have been spent with her running, walking, trying to find her way out of the woods lying just on the outside of the newly found town. And if she stays out in the rain, which started only a few minutes ago, she might just actually die.

[ashwoodpack-blog]

The boys and Connie were all at school and the cars in the shop were awaiting pickup, so he had the house to himself for a few hours. At least, he thought he had, until soft steps reached his ears as someone climbed the stairs to the second floor. He tugged the door open.

There was a child on his porch. That shouldn’t have surprised him, but this child wasn’t one of his own. “Cold? Jesus, you’re soaked.” He looked over her shoulder for someone, anyone, ( had she just wandered here all by herself? ), then stepped back to wave her inside. “Come in. It’s warm.”

@deus-lupus gets a Tavi starter <3

Micha was at home with the kids. That was the only thing that kept Tavi from panicking.

Gunshots roared in the distance. Every few minutes Tavi swore he could hear Ash screaming his name, even Micha, Luke, and Connie screaming as well, but that wasn’t possible. Micha was at home with the kids, and Ash knew not to yell for Tavi. Ash would never reveal to the hunters that there were two of them out here.

But that didn’t stop him from clamping his hands over his ears and running. His ears worked fine, it was his brain that was messed up, mixing up sounds and unable to process them whenever it recieved too much auditory input. So it was no surprise Tavi didn’t realize someone was running through the woods in front of him until they collided.

Rolling across the ground, Tavi lept to his feet with a snarl, only for the noise to choke in his throat when the scent of WOLF hit him. “You’re not a hunter?!”

the video was not the best quality but I just had to make this part into gifs

[blueeyedregrets]

[ was it possible to just stay like this for a few hours or maybe just long enough to take a nap? he couldn’t remember the last time he’d been able to sleep completely through the night and it had definitely been wearing him down. but did this alpha even want a new pack member? would he be okay with jackson following him back to his home? he blinked slowly and moved his muzzle to rest against ash’s hand, inhaling gently as he looked up at him. it wasn’t like he could actually communicate in this form, and he was torn between staying like this, or shifting so he could actually have a conversation with this alpha. but after a moment, the need for physical contact won his mental conflict and he stayed put, enjoying the moment. ]

[ashwoodpack-blog]

     He scratched and rubbed and pet everywhere he could reach, each touch gentle but firm, grounding in the way only an alpha could be. In the back of his mind Ash had worried about the consequences of mixing his scent with that of someone belonging to another alpha, this wolf was far too at ease under his palm for Ash to ignore him. His instincts as an alpha had already accepted the other male as one of his own betas, and as the wolf was covered in his scent, completely content at his side, it was hard for Ash to argue with his instincts.

     “My home is not as relaxed as this,” Ash admitted slowly. “I have four betas. Three boys, one girl, all still in school. Things get rather... loud and crazy.” His fingers scratched behind one of the wolf’s ears. “But my oldest two are away for sports tournaments tonight. Luke’s at a sleepover and Connie at a birthday party until seven. If you would like a place to stay for the night, I’m offering.”

[quondam-pariah-deactivated20161]

most nights erica only felt in control when lost in the preserve, only having the stars above her and the barely visible trail to guide her. especially tonight, after being thrown against multiple walls for hours on end, the beta needed some time to herself to recover. as she was walking along, erica stopped. tonight, something was different. she took a moment before crouching slightly and treading lightly, like she had been taught. for tonight, erica had smelt a werewolf. one that she hadn’t smelt before.

it didn’t take her long to find the source, a small girl cavorting along the path. the beta smiled at the sight, but quickly shook it off once the little girl froze. the bright, gold eyes of the young girl met with erica’s own, before they changed back. erica stepped from the cover of the trees onto the main track, gazing at the small child in front of her. ❝ hey there. what’s a little girl like you doing out here at this time? it’s not safe, y'know. ❞

[ashwoodpack-blog]

Little girl. If she wasn’t so nervous, Connie would have grinned from ear to ear, but now only a shy smile graced her lips briefly before dying out as small pale hands stuffed into the pockets of her pink and purple hearted pjs, her toes curling in muddy bunny slippers. “Nothing.”

She wasn’t supposed to talk to strangers. Ash had drilled that into all of them, Connie especially, for as long as she could remember, but that was because he didn’t want mean people hurting them. And this woman, this girl, she didn’t look mean to Connie. Her gaze darted down to the stick-baton lying forgotten at her feet before focusing up on the girl’s face again. “It’s safe if you’re strong. And-- I’m strong. I’m not afraid of the dark.”

@quondam-pariah gets a Connie starter <3

     Connie wasn’t allowed to go out at night without one of her brothers or Ash with her, which was exactly why she went out alone anyways. Unlike most kids her age, she didn’t fear the dark. She skipped through woven paths in the woods and dragged a stick along in her wake, pretending to twirl it like a baton as glowing gold eyes swept her surroundings.

     When she caught another scent though, another werewolf’s scent, she froze, and nervous energy sent her heart skipping when she spotted the other blonde. Her golden eyes flashed, once, then flickered back to a soft baby blue. “... hi.”

[blueeyedregrets]

[ it’d been forever since he’d last had this kind of physical contact with anyone, let alone another wolf. jackson couldn’t help the soft sound of contentment that slipped out as he all but melted bonelessly against ash. honestly, this was the most relaxed he’d been in a while. his eyes flickered shut and he whined softly, wishing he could stay like this and curl up against the other wolf for as long as possible. ]

[ashwoodpack-blog]

His fingers threaded through soft fur and kneaded at taunt muscles, focusing on an area until the tension slipped away like sand in the breeze. “How long has it been since you’ve let someone take care of you.” Ash mused aloud. Though his words were formed into a question, it was rhetorical, meant only for Ash himself as he scratched lightly along the wolf’s scruff.
