Little girls, this seems to say Never stop upon your w a y

“I think you should check with Ulric first, he’s never really been keen on surprises when family is involved. But I would love to come for dinner and I will be sure to invite Katya if he is ok with it. He is a good man though, and I am so happy that he is getting his happy ending with you. He deserves happiness…” The she-wolf gushed. “Forgive me, I’m Aria Wolfson.” The female was very pretty and Aria could see what her brother saw in the girl.

“That would probably be best.” The last thing she needed right now was a fight with the one person she held closest to her heart. “I’ll speak with him about it tonight. Butter him up with a few cupcakes first, and take it from there.” He’d likely see the bribe for what it was, but that was of little concern. “He deserves the world.” On that the two women seemed to agree. “Scarlet Wood, though I suppose it’s about time I get that changed.”

“You seem like a sweet kid, you don’t want to be put through the hell that is our family. Katya is still adjusting to being here, I am reminding her to behave. Of our two brothers, one is yet to be found here, and the other you never want to place in the same room as Ric - Convel and Ric fought eight years ago. Convel was fourteen, Ric nineteen, and I still remember Convel’s teeth wrapped around Ric’s throat. We’re not a nice family… Ric was such an adorable pup though.” Plus Scarlet and Ric were a secret she had promised to keep. “I can give you all kinds of embarrassing stories to use against him.”

“Oh. I see.” And what else was she supposed to say? It was a lot of information to have dropped on her all at once. All these in-laws she’d never known existed, one of whom had tried to kill her beloved. And here she’d thought she and Ulric had no secrets with each other. Then again, perhaps it had been purposeful ignorance on her part. She knew wolves had larger families, yet she’d never asked of his. “I would love to hear all of them. And I’d still love for you to come to dinner. Katya too if you think it would be alright.”

unownedwolf: 

“Actually I am also his twin, and I am not his only sister, we have a younger sister Katya who is a triplet.” It hurt vaguely to know he hadn’t mentioned any of his siblings to his wife, she had new family she hadn’t even known existed. But the hurt didn’t show on her face, she was raised not to show weakness. His good reason was likely Convel and not seeing the rest of his siblings for such a long time, but it did little to dim her hurt. “I do, I have a home on the edge of town next to the forest, Katya is staying with me. But thank you for the offer, it is very kind of you.”

If possible, Scarlet’s eyes widened further, nearly bulging as she tried to take everything in. It was like he had this whole other life she was completely oblivious too. Because she was, and he had seemingly made sure of that fact. Had he ever planned on sharing the truth with her? “I’d like to meet her. All of you, in fact. We are family, after all. We could even surprise Ric with a nice family dinner. Our own little revenge for him keeping us apart so long.”

“That sounds like your best option. People can be so cruel with their gossip.”

“But… if you don’t mind my questioning, what has been said about you? We’ve only just met, but you seem so kind.”

Scarlet sighed. “They say my husband is a monster, all because of what he is. Which is anything but the truth.”

unownedwolf:

“I am implying that Ulric has been a giant wolf pain in my ass since we were born. Especially since apparently he hasn’t told his wife about me.” Aria smirked, her eyes turning from a chocolate brown to a bright amber. It made the wolf feel good to know that her twin had a mate who would defend him. “You do not need to worry, I will always be there to help you out.” this girl wouldn’t have to worry about needing help, she was family now.

Eyes went wide, jaw dropping in response to the woman’s words. If what she claimed was true... “Why wouldn’t he tell me he had a sister?” The thought that he’d keep something so important from her hurt. However, this revelation did offer up new opportunities. Shaking it off, and resolving to ask about it later, Scarlet’s smile fell back into place. “Whatever it is, I’m sure he had good reason. And your help and company will always be welcome. Do you have a place to stay? Ric and I have a spare room if you need it.”

At the words trying to get pregnant, chocolate eyes looked the young woman once over, her mind retracing the words she spoke about her husband. All those traits could be applied to her twin brother. “I assume that he is also a bit wolfish at times yes?” The she wolfs head tilted lightly. “If you manage to get pregnant you will definitely need all the help you can get - no heavy lifting for you.” If she was correct and this was Ric’s mate, then there was a high chance any pregnancy would result in multiple children. Their own parents had two litters and ended up with twins and triplets.

Scarlet was caught off guard by the question, a mixture of shock and a bit of fear flashing in her eyes for a moment as she tried to find her voice. “I don’t know what you’re implying, but I assure you that my husband is a good man. No matter what you may have heard.” She couldn’t help the defensiveness in her tone, her initial thought to protect Ric by any means necessary. She swallowed hard, calming herself. “I might be able to convince my friend to help out, but I agree that we’d need more than just the two of us.”

[hoodedheart]

unownedwolf:

“Smart man, what is he like?” Aria asked, it was clear in the woman’s words how much love she held for her husband, and it appealed to Aria’s warmer side. “Please Scarlet, well maybe once you do that I can escape that bar and help out in your bakery if you’re hiring?”

“Incredibly stubborn and a bit pessimistic at times, but I wouldn’t want anyone else. The moment I first saw him, I knew he was someone I wanted in my life.” And it wasn’t much later that she decided the capacity in which she wanted in him. “That would actually pretty great. We’re trying to get pregnant, and if we succeed, I’ll need all the help I can get.”

ricwolfson:

“I don’t need them to love me back,” he assured, gracing her cheek with his thumb. He spoke steady and confident. “Just you.”

Arms wrap around him, chin resting on his shoulder. It was moments like this where she believed that so long as they were together, anything was possible. “Go pack us some supplies and spare clothes. I’ll get the picnic and some other food together.”

[hoodedheart]

ricwolfson:

He smirked. “You know I’d love the world if that’s what you wanted.”

“I just-” Scarlet cut off, taking a deep breath. “I just want the world to love you like I do. You are so much more than this monster they’ve made you out to be, and it kills me that that’s how they see you. You’re so much better than that. So much more.”

[hoodedheart]

ricwolfson:

“Until someone gets jealous,” came his knowing response.

“Low blow.”

[hoodedheart]

hesnotatoy:

Not take their side on things? The implication sent a little chill up her spine. But the other woman didn’t seem like an unreasonable soul, and left Clara to wonder about what else her story entailed.

“So… what will you do to stay out of harm?”

“Right now we’re just trying to lay low and stay under the radar. Show people the real us and not the lies and rumors they may have heard.”

[hoodedheart]

fcndhearted:

The sound of her friend’s laughter brings forth a chuckle from Marian. “I’m sure the rest of town will be there constantly too.” Scarlet’s baking was amazing. “Perhaps you could name it after her? Since they are her recipes?” 

“I hope so. It’s probably my most marketable skill, and something I truly do enjoy. It’d be great to make a career of it if I can.” Scarlet thought on the idea, nodding after a moment. “It would be a good way to butter her up before telling her about Ric if she ever arrives in town.”

[hoodedheart]

ricwolfson:

“Or, we show people that they shouldn’t mess with us.”

“Safety through love is sounder than safety through fear.”

[hoodedheart]

unownedwolf:

“You’re preaching to someone who is usually the source of paranoia. Small animals hate me. Regardless I agree, this land is enough to make anyone jumpy.” She nodded her head gently. “I’m Aria by the way, I work in the bar.”

“You almost sound like my husband,” she mused with a laugh, love for the man clear in even the most minor mentions of him. “Scarlet. No job yet, but I’m working to open up a bakery in town.”

[hoodedheart]

ricwolfson:

“Or, I could just scare off the others.” 

“No. We’re trying to show people how nice and amazing your are, remember? Make the world as safe for our pups as possible.”

[hoodedheart]

ricwolfson:

He huffed gently against her lips. “You’ll succeed at anything you do.” But she needed more than that, even if it was the truth he knew. “I think it’s a perfect idea.”

“So long as I have your support, I know I can.” And it was true. If for even a moment he showed any signs to the contrary, she’d trust that to mean she needed to reconsider. “We can try and find a nice shop after the full moon. Get set up before all the good spots are taken.”

[hoodedheart]

ricwolfson:

His pout was subtle, but obvious. He’d gotten himself all worked up with the idea. Granted, Scar’s suggestion served as a distraction. “You think so?”

Noting the pout, Scarlet pressed her lips right to it. “Honestly, I’ve been trying to think of some way for us to make a living, and I’d really love to open a bakery. I think it’d do pretty well with my Granny’s recipes.”
