ASKBOX  /  ACCEPTING - PLEASE SPECIFY MUSE.

[howlinghq]

she's quiet, unsure of what to say. looks at him from a safe distance, wonders if he still thinks of her or if maybe he's accepted the fact that things have to be different now. she can't exactly expect much if she's to be honest with herself. they were getting to know each other. he owed her nothing. yet suddenly, daemon's walking towards her and nix's eyes widen slightly.

there's barely much time to understand what comes next, barely time to process before his lips connect with hers. kissing him feels like being cold for far too long and being suddenly kissed by the sun. it creates chaos and soothes at the same time. nothing feels right as of late but, in that moment, everything is right.

phoenix kisses him back, a hand finding the back of his neck as the other rests on his hip, fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt and pulling him in as if they could somehow merge into one. she allows it to last for as long as her conscience lets her before she breaks the kiss.  "what are you doing, what if someone sees us?"

status: open | location: downtown ( auto shop )

It was hot – downright sweltering, really.  Which was absolutely absurd given the minute differences between today and yesterday. Nothing drastic had happened with the weather, the ac at home and work still functioned, and he was dressed in his usual attire.

So what in god’s name had changed? What was he missing here? Why the hell was it so goddamn hot?

Similar inquiries swarmed his mind as he remained slumped up front; overheated and miserable. The entirety of his upper half leaned over the raised desk. Arms splayed out for optimal coolness, and both sides of his cheeks were squished against chilled cans of soda. Hell, he even had a bag of ice laid on the back of his neck; small trickles of condensation be damned.

The chime that came from the front door drew out a sullen groan rather than a half-assed greeting. “Do me a favor and phone the fire department ‘cause I’m like ninety-nine percent sure I’m meltin’ like the Witch of the West.”

;

for someone who loves her motorcycle as much as olivia does, she really should know more about them. truthfully, she has absolutely no idea what’s wrong with it and why it’s making such an awful sound and, after convincing herself that there’s no way it would just fix itself, liv finally decides to take it to someone who can actually figure it out and fix it.

pushing the front door open, she pays brief attention to the chime, glancing up before gaze finds lawrence further into the shop and she chuckles at his words, though they do urge her to pay attention. it’s not particularly hot inside seeing as she feels perfectly comfortable; the ac seems to be working until...

“well,” olivia starts after reaching a conclusion, shifting her weight onto one leg as she looks at him. “i think it might have something to do with all the clothes you’re wearing... respectfully.” she chuckles with the slightest wrinkle of her nose. “why are you wearing two jackets?”

[howlinghq]

ofthefated​:

he crosses his arms over his chest ( he has to, otherwise he’s certain he’ll reach out to her again and they’ve already been foolish enough as it is with so many people around ) before turning to look at her once more. “I’ll fix this.” he muttered —not a promise, but almost. “the elders want to introduce me to my match later. perhaps i can voice my desire to break things now and then argue my case with the elders —if that’s what you want too, of course.” because they would not longer be testing the waters with their relationship if he managed such a feat. they’d be it —together and likely mated within the year. and if he could settle matters of his heart, he’d have a much better chance at focusing the rest of his attention on his pack.

;

his words send a chill rolling down her spine      not because she wishes he hadn’t said it, but because it’s exactly what she wanted to hear. still, there’s an aching in her chest that persists, something bothering her too much to simply jump at the opportunity. sure, it is what she wants him to do but why does he only want to do it now? nix turns her body a little to face him, one hand resting against the table as she shifts her weight onto one leg, gaze focused on him, eyebrows pulled together.  “why now, daemon?”  she asks quietly.  “of course i want you to fight for me but why didn’t you do it before? are you just...” nix pauses, bits her tongue in fear that she may say something she’ll regret.  “are you just doing this so you don’t have to be with someone you don’t know? is that it?”

[howlinghq]

ofthefated​:

“can’t you? better a familiar face then a virtual stranger. even if you find spending your life with someone overrated.” he didn’t share the sentiment, but that wasn’t something he was going to admit ( that last thing he needed was varying mixes of pity and anger from any pack members if they discovered he’d had a chance to avoid all of this and failed to take it ). “my hope is to find a way out of this. though i’m sure several other head alpha’s have a similar mentality.”

;

“i guess you’re right,” she mutters so quietly she’s barely sure she’s said it at all. clover’s about to tell her alpha to enjoy the night as best as he can and keep all her thoughts to herself but, honestly, she’s never really been that great at keeping quiet. “i think i was so busy feeling angry that i never stopped to think that we’ll be stuck with strangers in something that’s supposed to mean a lot to us. not to me but, you know, the general us.” she smirks, but it soon fades. “whatever, right? nothing we can do.”

[howlinghq]

ofthefated​:

-

“because some alpha’s are idiots?” an eyebrow arches at her own words, eyes beginning to twinkle slightly in amusement. “i’ve heard a few people of varying designations grumble about just mating regardless of the arrangements. after all, if they don’t consent to the break, what are the elders going to do? that’s their logic anyways. so i’ve decided until the elders introduce me to my supposed match, i’m done socializing and will be sticking with our pack. if someone attempted to do something foolish with any one of us, i think artemisia would take care of it, but better to keep the possibility to an absolute minimum.”

;

"precisely, what can the elders do if someone decided they just don’t want to mate with whoever is chosen for them?” granted, that’s easy to say for someone who’s already found his mate; things aren’t so simple for the others and rowan feels it, senses it in the air so thick it could be cut with a knife. still, he’s glad that mila seems to be taking it well      at least it’s what she displays. “of course she would.” he agrees, exhaling sharply through his nose as hands are shoved into his pockets and he leans back against the nearest surface. “aren’t you worried that you won’t like who they chose for you?”

[howlinghq]

wclfpackhq​:

“i assume you won’t take yes for an answer if i say we should ditch this event entirely?” overall, she saw no point in having this ceremony. especially when everyone who hasn’t mated was forced to be in an arrangement. it wasn’t like this for years, so why start this again so suddenly? her lips curved slightly into a small smile upon hearing his suggestions. it was sweet of him to mention being away from the crowd. “how about forty-five minutes?” she was originally going to ask for an hour, but thought it was pushing it.

;

he chuckles with a slight shake of his head. “i can’t do that, even if i wanted to. i have to be here for the ceremony.” elijah offers an apologetic look       which is entirely honest, he does very much want to make her feel as comfortable as he can. still, there’s not much he can do on that front; ditching the event would look bad on her in the eyes of the elders and he... well, he’d be quite the irresponsible second in command if he did so. “that i can do,” elijah compromises when she asks for forty-five minutes, offering her a smile. glancing around them for a moment to make sure that no eyes are on them, the alpha nods her over as he turns towards the exit. “c’mon, before anyone grabs us to talk.”

[howlinghq]

the-somnias​:

The number of furrowed brows within the vicinity should have been alarming. Very few seemed to be at ease, fewer still that actually seemed like there was fun to be had. And while he understood the looming tension, he was impervious to such things. Head held high, shoulders relaxed, he meandered his way to and fro – wherever his feet may lead him. 

And it was those same feet that had him accidentally bump into another. Wine spilt on the mid of his suit, he was relieved to see that none had gotten on the other’s clothing. Alarico parted with a sincere apology and went to search for a napkin. And he found one with no way of getting to it. Not until the issue resolved itself. 

“No worries, just wanted to get one of those.” Upper half leaned towards the right, he went to grab a napkin to dab at the stain. “Everything alright?”

;

the frown on elijah’s features remains even as he’s spoken to but, this time, it’s mostly due to confusion as he tries to understand what exactly it is the other’s trying to get. half shifting his body, he spots the pile of napkins and eyebrows raise. “oh.” he chuckles, long fingers running through his hair with a shake of his head. “those. yeah, sure, go ahead.” the alpha gestures as he takes another step to the side just in case.

“hm?” he hums distractedly, head cocking a bit to the side as hazel eyes rest upon the other before he offers a smile. “yeah, i’m fine! thinking too much, i guess. this whole’s thing got us all a bit on edge, i’m just trying to figure out how to make everyone feel a bit better.” he shrugs, crossing his arms over his chest. “you?”

[howlinghq]

cfalphas​:

It was difficult to know which shit the other was talking about, but Javi was inclined to agree either way. The ball felt…stilted. A half hearted attempt to raise spirits. And the arrangements, well. They felt suffocating. Mating hadn’t even been in their life plan at all, but. That hardly seemed to matter to the Elders. How did they even figure the arrangements? Names in a hat? It felt as planned out as pulling names from a hat. “I doubt anyone’s buying this. But…some people need the distraction, I guess. I’m just stoked I’m not stuck on babysitting duty. Again. I’ll take my positives where I can. We all will, apparently.”

;

at least someone, she thinks, is being more positive about it than she is. she’s not exactly miserable, but her grumpiness shows on her face even when her words attempt to mask it, it has always been that way with her. still, there’s a small smile on clover’s lips when the other speaks and she rolls her eyes fondly. “hey, if you can do that, then good for you.”

[howlinghq]

she’d be lying if she said she was excited to meet her partner. curious, perhaps. a little anxious maybe. however, she remains uncharacteristically silent as she’s guided by an elder and handed over all too silently. she stares at the elder from the corner of her eyes, half expecting them to stick around        there’s a rush of relief when they don’t. gaze settles finally on her partner, a lopsided smirk on her lips as head cocks to the side.  “looks like you get to keep me.”  she taunts, holding out a hand.  “clover.”

closed event starter:  atticus burns  ( @wclfpackhq​ )

[howlinghq]

daemon.

the reckless part of him wants to snatch her hand back —to propose that perhaps it isn’t to late. that they could go against the elders later that night and just mate. but the rational part ( the part that is entirely the head alpha of their pack ) realizes its a foolish notion and forces him to bite his tongue before the option can even pass his lips. “will we?” he muttered with a frown, eyes moving to look at her once more. “because if i have to see someone else’s bite on you i might gone insane.” there is a bite in his words and a glint in his eyes ( far more animal than man ) —before he manages to take and release a deep breath and reign himself back in. “i was stupid — i should never have allowed this to happen and i can’t just… i have to do something nix.”

;

his question echoes within her mind and haunts her like ghosts slamming doors and windows. all she knows now is uncertainty and it shakes her to her very core; uncertainty of what her future may look like, of what the future holds for all of them. tongue swipes across her lips briefly to wet them before she bites at the inside of her cheek in a nervous gesture, glancing down at her hands that now linger far from his  [ too far for her liking ]  and she wonders if there was ever anything that could’ve been done.  “i don’t know.”  she finally responds, all too quietly, when he echoes her own question. will we?  “the truth is i’m not sure about anything anymore and i’m trying not to let it show. but i’m nervous.”

[howlinghq]

daemon.

his lips quirk into a small smile at her taunt —an expression that quickly slides away at her question. he can feel his mood threatening to darken significantly and it takes a certain amount of control to keep it from reflecting on his face. “not a clue. the elders promised to introduce us sometime tonight.” why they were being so shady about the whole thing was a mystery and setting him on edge. “it’s likely to be a nightmare. if i’d been smart i would have shacked up before this all started.”

;

“can’t relate.” she smirks. although the general idea of finding one’s mate sounds appealing, clover’s never really believed in it fully           sure, she knows what it means to their wolf within, but doesn’t necessarily buy the romanticism of it all.  “spending the rest of your life with someone’s overrated.”  at least it’s what she thinks. for now.  “i don’t know who mine is, either. hopefully they’re not a total bore.”

[howlinghq]

mila.

stepping back to give him his while still remaining close enough that it was clear she’s in conversation and unwilling to be dragged away elsewhere, her nose crinkled. “i apparently was too friendly with some alphas and i think the tension in the room set them off. i was probably a minute away from them both grabbing an arm and playing tug of war.” eyes roll heavenward at the thought. “it’s probably best i stick to our pack for a while. you’re all safe. and i’m fine now —so tell me how you’ve enjoyed all this so far.”

;

eyebrows furrow when mila speaks and he crosses his arms over his chest, shaking his head. he understand why the alphas may be eager, but he also knows there’s no point.  “aren’t we all arranged anyway? what good will trying to take you do them?”  it’s rhetorical for the most part, knowing they’re running on instincts just as their instincts as omegas are to soothe. still, it does rub him the wrong way a bit, especially given the circumstances of the night’s event.

[howlinghq]

louis.

This was excessive. The excitement, annoyance, reluctance – everything that festered with each and every person. Like a sheet of ice in early spring, things fissured at a steady rate. Every inch of him wanted to seek solitude, to get away from all of the chatter and bickering and laughing. So he did – just for a short while, at least. 

Just until the irritation beneath his skin simmered down to something bearable. 

Steps led away from the masses; all until the rustle of wind could be heard over the lingering voices. Slowly, a hard sigh was pressed through the nose as he rummaged for a pack and lighter. Hopefully some semblance of calm could be found here. Maybe. 

Two flicks and a light sparked to life, wavering oh-so slightly as he moved it closer to the end of a cigarette. No sooner did it catch than the sound of footfalls come. Louis paused for a scant moment before proceeding, if only to take a drag before speaking. 

“What, you want one too?”

;

no, thank you. he wants to say but remains silent for a moment longer, arms crossing over his chest as he looks at the other, attempts to figure out if he’s bothered by all that’s happening like most of them seem to be, or if he simply prefers his own company.

he doesn’t smoke often, it’s more so something he does every once in a while than a consistent habit of his but tonight’s event feels like enough of a reason. “actually, i won’t say no if you don’t mind.” the omega shrugs, scratching at his temple. “think tonight asks for it, huh?”
