@ The Pack House

[lupusfilialuna]

“I haven’t asked anything yet..”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“Would you believe me if I told you I can tell I would say no anyways?”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

@ The Pack House

“No....”

[nifty-british-wolf]

...

[nifty-british-wolf]

Ben nodded and looked away.

“You might be the only one who thinks so.” He said softly. “I don’t think even Adam accepted it yet. Maybe that’s why he left….”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“No....” He disagreed. “I believe he was at least starting to. Listen, Ben, I know for a fact you and Dastan had nothing to do with his disappearance. Even if it was a problem... My nephew would have been your final decision?”

At the pack house

[coyoteinthepack-deactivated2015]

She breathed a sigh of relief and she nods her head. “Thank you, Aries. I need people here that I can trust.”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“Your welcome, what are seconds for...”

“And... She smiles.” He chuckled. “Don’t let them see you down. They can smell it.”

Pack Dinner

[lupusfilialuna]

A slight blush set over her cheeks and her eyes widened momentarily at the wink. “So…where are you from?”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“Australia.” Aries answered while chuckling at her reaction. “But I was born in Ireland, raised in Aussie.”

At the pack house

[coyoteinthepack-deactivated2015]

“I know..I know.” She sighed once more before she straightened herself up. “Are you planning on staying as second..?”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“I wasn’t.” He said truthfully. “But my mind was changed... I have a reason to stay now. You can count on me as second.”

[nifty-british-wolf]

...

[nifty-british-wolf]

His lip quivered slightly and he looked away. “He wouldn’t….he wouldn’t have just left us. Something happened. Something huge.”

“Dastan….” He said his name softly, his wolf hummed contently at the sound. His mate. His. Taking a breath he shrugged. “Well…it’s not like that stupid ninny is going anywhere so…I guess that means I’m here.”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“Neither of us know what’s going on. If it is something huge like you’re saying then it’s more of a reason for us to stay together.” Aries wanted to comfort him but refused to make the first move towards the hostile wolf.

“The ninny?” He asked. “Stupid for finding a mate in a werewolf? I think its brilliant.”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

Pack Dinner

[lupusfilialuna]

A small smile tugged at her lips when the older member of her pack said that.  

“I’m Hawaiian, from O’ahu to be exact” 

[the-cursed-werewolf]

Aries returned the smile and winked. “Hawaiian? I should have guess. The hair, tanned skin, your hair....”

[nifty-british-wolf]

[nifty-british-wolf]

Ben narrowed his eyes at him. “Why? Adam was the only one who vouched for me before….why would you? You don’t even know me.”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“It doesn’t matter. You’re a part of the pack he left behind so when he returns I want you all still to be here in one peace. Then, we all can kick his ass or leaving without a word and get on with our lives.”

“I don’t. But Dastan cares about you enough to make me give more then my usually damns. Ben. I’m Aries. We have plenty of time to get to know one another.”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

Pack Dinner

[lupusfilialuna]

“I’ve helped my Grandfather butcher a pig before, I’m not squeamish” 

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“And.... You have just made yourself my favorite.”

“I’ve never asked but where are you from?”

[wererangler]

[wererangler]

“I see. I trust Adam with my life, but he isn’t here. Which makes you the next in line.  And I know you are under the impression that you know me, but in case whoever you spoke to decided to skip this detail, I don’t trust dominant male wolves.  I know where I am in the pack structure, and I am fine with that.  My approval shouldn’t be your priority, my trust should. I won’t be abused because I’m at the bottom. I’ve been there and I’ve done that and its not going to happen.”

“I don’t necessarily think you’ll do anything, but if you have a problem talking about this with me, I’ll talk to Bran about Peter and I switching packs.”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“You’re wrong... Adam isn’t here and out of respect for him... I’m allowing the Alpha’s mate, Mercy to take charge until I feel that she can not handle the duties. Because you’re right. I don’t know you or anyone else in this pack. Me taking over will cause a hostile environment within the pack... You know nothing of me either, Honey. I maybe a wolf but I have no wolf. The need to dominate or abuse pack bottoms isn’t there. I’m a cursed warlock... I just so happen to change into a wolf. I so happen to run into your Alpha in wolf from during battle and we clicked. He made me second. End of story.”

“Let’s not go there... We both know that isn’t what you want. You’re terrified but use that terror for something else. The next time you threaten to leave this pack... As second or as you’re acting alpha I will help you pack then personally bring you and your thing to Bran.... Right now I need you and the rest of this pack does too. We can’t lose another member.”

[coyoteinthepack-deactivated2015]

Scoffing at that she replied. “I am not going to let the pack fall to pieces and I’m not going anywhere. Adam..he’s going to come back.” a large part of her just wanted to leave but she wasn’t going to do that. She couldn’t.

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“Good luck... They’re already falling apart. It needs to be addressed now rather then later. They need an alpha not an alpha mate comforting them.”

[wererangler]

[wererangler]

“I see. Is he going to get it back, when he arrives? Forgive me, but I’m not exactly comfortable with someone knowing my life, without me ever seeing them before.” Honey’s tears forgotten now, with her wolf on high alert, clawing to break through in her gaze. 

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“If he returns and wants his position he will have to fight for the honor... No apologies needed. I was brought into the pack when you were, out? I’ve been here for nearly three months and I’m still feeling around the pack members I knew then. Adam trusted me enough to make me second and I’ve proven myself to him already. I don’t need you’re approval or that of you’re wolf but it would be greatly appreciated but all in do time.”

[nifty-british-wolf]

...

[nifty-british-wolf]

“I’d ask you if you wanted to play count the freckles but…the idea of you touching me makes we want to vomit.”

“Pack second…” He snorted. “I never gave a shit about Darryl and I won’t give a shit about you. As far as a flight risk…damn right I am. I owe Adam my loyalty. Not you lot.”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“The thought that you came up with the idea of me wanting to touch you bring in a round of fathomable questions.”

“You will. In due time.” Aries shrugged never letting Ben words punch threw his calmness. “We’re in the same boat. I’m here for Adam and I couldn’t have given more then my share of damns about anyone else. But in his absences, I’m going to look after his pack and that includes you. I’m going to need you’re help, Ben.”

[coyoteinthepack-deactivated2015]

Mercy gave a dry laugh as she replied. “Now I try and keep the pack together and hope they don’t give me the boot. I’m not a wolf and most of them made it pretty obvious when I first showed up that they didn’t want a coyote walking around.” she ran her fingers through her hair. 

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“They’re partly right. A female coyote running a wolf pack? One as large and open as this one will cause major jabs and testing....” Aries sighed. “Are you sure you want to put not only yourself but this pack through that?”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

Pack Dinner

[lupusfilialuna]

“Hmmm” She considered the cooking methods and then frowned at him “Why can’t you shave it yourself?”

[the-cursed-werewolf]

“Pack bonding?” He lied. “Or maybe I just want to see you freak out every time you nick the poor thing.”
