little wolf

you can't hurt me.

Will’s feet pounded the pavement; sirens wailing behind them in the distance. That was a fast response time, Will thought. Of course the police in this town would get off of their ass when it was one of their own who had been kicked to the curb. That was one of many reasons why Will was always picking fights with the cops; why he was always provoking them and poking fun of them at every chance he got. They were corrupt and somebody needed to stand up to them and not let them take advantage of everybody in their town any more.

Today was not that day. 

Will couldn’t go and very well take on a whole squad of cops with a human tagging along. Too many things could go wrong, like the human girl being caught in the crossfire and losing her life.

Will rounded a corner, glancing over his shoulder to make sure that the human girl was still following him. He had to remind himself every couple of minutes that as a human, she was not able to run as fast as he could, and he would slow his pace down for her.

“In here!” Will pointed towards a wired fence, ducking through the gap that was only noticeable if you knew it was there and held it open wide enough for the girl to squeeze through without injuring herself. “Keep your head down and stay close to me.” He ordered as he ducked low to the ground, creeping away from the fence towards the scrap heap of cars that littered the junk yard. 

“I should probably mention that I don’t take all the pretty girls I beat up cops for to a greasy, old junk yard.” He flashed her one of his typical smug but charming smiles and slumped down against one of the cars.

She kept up with Will, step for step without fail. The sirens were getting louder and this all felt too familiar. She focused on her heart beat, on her breathing, keeping the panic down by focusing on everything else but what was happening. 

She would have completed missed the wire fence if Will hadn’t pointed it out. It was the perfect hiding spot, a car junk yard. A lot of places to hide behind and in. The police wouldn’t be able to track them here. Hell, even she wasn’t sure she would be able to do it in a swapped situation.

Nadia raised an eyebrow at Will before sitting across from him, neatly folding her legs, her back up straight and her eyes flicking around for the exits. “Good to know.” She couldn’t help the slight sarcasm that made it’s way into her tone. He was probably telling the truth, she knew his type. Spoil a girl for one night and then move on when they get bored. “Look, I should say thank you. But I could handle it, you know. I’m not completely defenceless.” In reality, Nadia wasn’t defenceless at all. As much as she hesitated, she could have hit and run just like Will...

Almost exactly like Will.

Nadia glanced back at Will, looking him up and down.

“So why’d you step in? Glory? Or love a damsel in distress?”

Will stared at the girl wide-eyed, his eyebrows raised in complete and utter surprise. Where the hell had she learned reflexes like that from? Will had not expected her to have such sharp reflexes, at least not reflexes that rivalled his own. No human had reflexes as sharp as a werewolf, not even Olympic athletes, and although she looked like she was fit and in shape, he doubted she was competing in the Olympics any time soon.

Who the hell was this girl? It was a question that Will wanted to find the answers to, but first he needed to insure that the girl walked away from this alive and on the right side of the bars. It wouldn’t matter if he was arrested, he was agile and had a few tricks up his sleeves, the cops wouldn’t be able to hold him for long.

“Don’t even think about it.” Will kicked Thompson’s hand away from his belt, a defensive move that Quinn had taught him during one of their many sparring matches. He only wished she could see him in action now, actually having used something she had taught him. On seconds thought, no he didn’t. Will couldn’t think of anything worse than Quinn knowing he had actually learned something from having his ass kicked by her so many times. 

Will wasn’t giving Thompson any more chances now, he had lost that privilege once he had made an advance towards the girl. Dashing forwards, Will grabbed Thompson by the shoulders and drove his knee home into his stomach; whipping his fist across his face. “Come with me.” Will spun around instantly, urging the girl away from Thompson, who was now crumpled on the floor. Will hadn’t knocked him out, only winded him to give the pair of them enough time to flea the scene.

Will was fighting and Nadia was already backing away, cursing herself for snapping like she did. There were groans, grunts and hits happening before her eyes. Her eyebrows raised as she watched Will. He was fast, strong and calculating. She had seen fighting like that before, too much for her liking. It was too familiar.

She glanced at Thompson, who was groaning on the ground before looking back at Will with calculating eyes. She knew he stood up for her when he didn’t need to, she knew he could fight and she also knew that there was a lot of hatred for police in him. No one who was scared of them would have hit one like that.

“Come with me.” She also knew that he was still trying to save her.

She nodded once. Nadia would follow, he had to know this town better than she did. There were more advantages than disadvantages. And whilst she had seen him fight… she knew she could fight back if she needed to.

“Officer down, officer down. Corner of Lex and First.” Thompson’s voice rang out and Nadia could swear there were already sirens.

“Fuck.” She swore under her breath before breaking into a run, following William wherever he was going.

She still loves you.

“I’d like to see you try.” Will growled, challenging the cop to give him a reason, any reason to throw the first punch. Not that corner a young, woman on her own in the middle of the street didn’t warrant him to already punch the cop in the face, but Will thought Noah would need a little more than to hear another cop in this god forsaken town was acting shady.

Will furrowed his brows slightly in surprise, he was taken aback by her display of bravery and courage to stand up to the cop by herself. Not many people in their town could say they had the courage to do so, it was only ever really Noah and his pack that showed resistance to the sheriff’s office. This girl was different though, it was becoming clear to Will now that she wasn’t the type of person to let anybody back her into a corner; she was a fighter.

Will was too.

“It looks like it’s your unlucky day,” He glanced at the small, golden plate pinned above the cop’s breast pocket, “Officer Thompson. You managed to piss off the one person in this town who isn’t afraid of your big boy threatening voice.” He rocked backwards on his heel, clasping his hands together in front of his waist.

Nadia didn’t understand why William was getting involved. Good samaritan, knight in shining armour, whatever, Nadia was worried for him. It got complicated when people got involved with her business. Dimitri, Allysia, Theon, they all got hurt whenever they were near her. He was protecting her, he didn’t know how dangerous that could be.

Both Nadia and Thompson looked at Will whe he spoke, Nadia with a weak smile, Thompson with a distasteful glare. “Was that a threat?” The policeman snarled at Nadia, ignoring Will entirely. “What would you know, it’s illegal to threaten a man of the law. I could place you under arrest.” His hand reached for Nadia and she snapped, slapping the hand away with more force that she should have used. Something popped and she winced as Thompson cried out.

“Don’t touch me.” She hissed, too angry to back down.. Her eyes flashed, her jaw clenched and she took a step forward as the cop’s hand reached for his taser. Nothing like that scared her anymore.

Will was watching from the shadows. He knew a shake down when he saw one, and this scenario was setting off all of the alarms for him. It was in the police officer’s body posture, the way he carried himself and the way he left little to no personal space between himself and the young girl. What was it he was after, exactly? Will wondered, his brows furrowing together as he moved forwards, appearing from the shadows and stepping out from the alleyway that he had been passing through.

Will was on his way home from the abandoned police station, after failing miserably to best his Alpha, Noah Clarke, in a training match between the two of them. Will was still feeling the dull, shooting pains in his back from his hard landing on Noah’s make-shift kitchen table. He had cut through the darkened alleyway to save him some time on getting home, and so that he could grab some take-out from the burger bar on the corner of Birch Street.

“You heard her.” Will said, sternly, picking up her bag of groceries as he approached the pair on the street. “She doesn’t want any trouble, and I don’t think you want any either. So walk away.”

[nadia-koschei-blog]

Nadia flinched as she heard a voice that she wasn’t expecting. Everything was feeling out of her control and she could feel her claws digging into the palms of her hands. But the cop seemed to back down a little at this guy’s presence, even though the smirk on his face got wider.

“I don’t believe this is any of your business, William.” Nadia glanced at the man, now knowing his name. William. “Why don’t you walk away so I don’t have to give you back to Noah in handcuffs?”

Nadia had to make a choice. Either lose control and hurt this cop or move on William’s side. Hurting this human wouldn’t make her feel any better or safer. She knew she could, she knew she would be able to scar him for life, just like the hunters had done to her. But she also knew that she would be just as bad as them, if not worse. So she moved, glancing at Will. “I think you should walk away.” She said, staring at the cop. “I can’t vouch for William here but I don’t want to hurt you. And I know I could. So go.” Nadia knew how that looked, a little spit of a girl threatening a cop. It was laughable but she didn’t want anyone to say that she didn’t warm him.

Nadia was planning on keeping her head down.

That was how she was going to function in this new town. This was her breaking away from her nightmares, they weren’t going to control her and they weren’t going to define her. She was striking out on her own, she was moving on.

Sirens jolted her out of her thoughts and she almost dropped the bag of groceries that were in her hands. A police car pulled over, the police officer all charming smiles and offers for a lift until Nadia had said no. She had learned the hard way that people of power weren’t always good people. That was when his face turned twisted and his door opened.

This time she did drop her groceries on the ground, balancing her weight, feeling a fight coming. “I’m sorry for offending.” She said slowly, quietly, trying to calm him down. She didn’t want to bang his head against the car door, no matter how easy it would be. “But I would like to go home without any trouble, if you don’t mind.”
