Waking up to a cold bed wasn't very pleasing, you groaned pulling the covers closer only to snap your eyes open remembering what happened.
"Hey, easy" You glanced the the voice, Arthur he placed a hand on your shoulder handing you some coffee. Mumbling a thanks you drank it sighing quietly afterwards.
"You ok?" he questioned you scoffed.
"Oh yeah I'm stuck in the middle of werewolves hunting each other and I almost died I'm peachy" You huffed he gave a concerned look.
"Well, I can get you out of here after Micah leaves it isn't safe not after what we pulled" Arthur sighed running a hand over his head.
"I'm sorry" You whispered.
"Dont be it ain't your fault well a little for not leaving but still" You shook your head a small smile crossing your face.
"Arthur" You jumped at the new voice a dark man Indian by the looks of him peeking through the door.
"Charles?" Arthur questioned walking out with him. You sat against the wall waiting for his return to figure out what to do.
So great plan wait here till they attack, great just great, you wanted to smack the man but listened anyway. His associates were, Charles, John, a elderly man Hosea and young Lenny as Arthur called him, quite a gang of ruffians you says.
The night was young at you sat by the fire wishing you had some wool maybe or something to do.
"Hungry?" you jumped as Arthur walked in with some food.
"Thank you" You said taking it from him as he sat down beside you.
"Who are these men? they obviously know about well you" You said glancing to him, he let a sigh nodding his head.
"That old pack I mentioned the one we had slaughtered well we didnt all get slaughter but what I saw sure looked like it, I found Charles and John fighting down at Saint Denise trying to make money, Hoses was barely holding onto life when i found him and young Lenny well he found me, in a bar" He smiled snickering at the memory.
"So are they also?" he shook his head.
"John is got bit like an idiot and went missing for a year was 'to scared' to face us" Arthur rolled his eyes.
"But the others no, but they helped me when controlling it I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them" He said softly this was his family.
"Micah?" you questioned hating the name.
"Micah was apart of said pack, damn traitor led the hunters right to us and Dutch well he believed the son of a bitches lies and died like the rest only Micah the dick made it out somehow" He growled this man had gone through everything.
"He killed my loved ones, my family he needs to be put to rest I wont let him hurt no one any more especially you" You glanced at him the determined look on his face, you felt your stomach do loops as you shuffled closer placing a hand on his arm. He glanced to shocked by the sudden contact.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault I probably should've left but, I dont know something kept me here, you didnt scare me enough" You chuckled lightly.
"I was real pissed when I though you killed my chickens I would've shot you again" He chuckled shaking his head.
"Its ok I have a abnormal healing rate" Arthur said as you nodded finding yourself leaning into him ever so slightly.
"Guess I'm stuck here now, man the stories I could tell" You joked looking to him again.
"I think people would send you straight to the sheriff" You laughed Arthur's eyes kind as he looked to you.
"Your a good man Mr. Morgan even in these few months I know that" You said softly patting his arm gently.
"I ain't a good man Miss. Y/l/n" You smacked him as he frowned.
"Its Y/n and yes you are even with your rough edges" You commented staring at the fire.
"I ain't gonna argue with a woman" Arthur surrendered making you smirk in victory.
"Good, because you'll end up with another shot leg" He scoffed smiling looking to you.
"Your real brave Y/n I'll give you that, but maybe after this do get somewhere far away think one beast is enough" You frowned at the statement as he chuckled to himself, leave? did you really want to leave? after everything you wouldn't be able to just pack up and go like nothing happened, Arthur he- well he was different in the good sense.
"Well I best get some rest" You snapped out of your thoughts nodding.
"Yes as shall I, good night Mr. Morgan" You said.
"Arthur, and goodnight Miss" He walked out as you sighed heading to bed.
Running with wolves, a odd thing to be doing but you were safe the large golden furred beast running beside you as you laughed falling into the meadow. He stopped prancing around you like a puppy as you laughed some more pretending to tackle him, he licked your face as you made a disgusted noise laughing some more. You both settled down as you lent against his body his warmth seeping around you.
"I will always love you" You whispered as the wolf smiled leaning his head on your lap giving you a gentle nudge.
You woke up trying to figure out the dream you had it looked just like Arthur, but why did you say those words? you huffed getting out of bed and outside by the dying fire. You rolled your eyes seeing the men all asleep a few with drinks in their hands.
"WAKE UP" The all jumped awake as you smirked seeing them jump.
"Good morning gentlemen" Arthur groaned as did the others rubbing their faces.
"Breakfast?" You questioned starting it.
"Damn well be for waking me up" Arthur grumbled making you shoot him a glare.
"Alright, Alright sorry" he said his voice deep with sleep.
The day was rather boring you weren't aloud very far away from the house even though you knew it was unsafe you needed to get out.
"Arthur?" you called as he turned to you cocking his head.
"Hm?" he said as you approached.
"Can you take me somewhere please maybe the stream I cant be cooped up here, I know it's dangerous but I will shoot myself so help me" He sighed going to argue but the look on your face was begging.
"Fine but only for an hour" You fisted saying yes as he took you to the stream keeping on guard. You sighed happily taking off your shoes and socks.
"What are you doing?" Arthur questioned you smiled dipping your feet into the water.
"Cooling off" You said as he made an adorable confused face.
"Right well uh dont go to far" He said looking away awkwardly aw the man was a gentleman. You smirked splashing him with water making him flinch glancing to you seeing your playful smirk. You splashed him again with more water as he scoffed smiling.
"Well Miss I do believe you'll regret that" You smirked before yelping as he tackled you into the water. You came back up laughing as you pushed your hair back. You splashed him as he splashed back smiling as well.
"Ah ok I'm sorry! im sorry" You gave in as he smirked sending you one last splash.
"Aw didnt think you'd give in that easily" you had a small smirk before he knew it his head was dipped underwater you pressing him down before letting him up
"Why you little" You laughed running back to shore kicking some water ar him. He got out grabbing you around the waist as you tried to run laughter echoing in his ear.
"Let go" You laughed as he smirked to himself.
"Uh uh say your sorry" You wiggled in his hold but he was to strong.
"Alright I'm sorry" You smiled he nodded his grip loosening but not letting go.
"Arthur?" you questioned looking back at him. His eyes held something new something you've never seen.
"Why did you stay?" he whispered.
"Arthur, i-i dont know, you- ugh I dont know Gods truth" You said softly not really sure. He nodded his face in deep thought before someone came.
"There you are come on we've seen Micahs men" Arthur let you go nodding to John as he grabbed his hat nodding to you to follow. What just happened?
