THINGS SHOULDN’T JUST BE HANDED TO SOMEONE. YOU HAVE TO EARN IT. YOU HAVE TO EARN EVERYTHING.

wherethewildwolfisme:

Grayson snorted a laugh and shook his head at the kids confidence. Had the kid made that claim before a fight, Grayson would have put him in his place with a well deserved slice. But now he would take the offered whiskey and raised it briefly. “You know you’re the shit huh? And what makes you the shit hm?” he knocked back the drink and shook his head to push away the burn. 

“We have got to drink better shit than this.” he waved the blonde waitress over with a grin and a wink, ordering some good shit for the night. He turned back when he spoke his name a little light went on. Armand had mentioned the kid before, suggestion that they pair up to find the Wolf Killer. “Ah yes the ‘wonder kid’.” his fingers made air quotes around the words. “So you think a good nose makes you good with the ladies?” his mouth curled up into a smile. He could almost smell the bravado emanating off him and he wondered if he could shake it free. It would be fun to knock him down a few pegs. 

Tyler was grateful for the improved bottle of whiskey that the waitress brought to them. He examined the label with a nod, agreeing that it was probably a lot better then what he had. In the end it didn’t really matter; hangovers weren’t an issue with Tyler, and as long as he didn’t go home alone he could drink sparkling pink wine or some other girly shit like that and it’d be alright. He poured the new whiskey into both of their glasses.

“Ha. Well, the nose is a good start. Most women find it completely irresistible, the fact that I’m so...hm, what’s the right word...enhanced?” he smirked then took a long sip. “Look I don’t really care. You’re only young once, right? I haven’t been tied down in years and I don’t plan on it anytime soon. I’ve been around this club so many times it’s hard to keep track. I’m happy here, I’m happy with the pack and Armand and my hunts. I wouldn’t change a thing,”

It wasn’t all a lie; Tyler was loyal to Ultio, and if he had wanted to change his lifestyle in Winlock then he would have went off to college on that scholarship. But he stayed, because this was his home, and maybe one day he’d find his mate and settle down. Maybe not. In the end, as long as he had a forest to hunt in and some girls to keep him company, then life seemed pretty damn okay to him.

“What about you?” Tyler grinned. “Need a wingman?”

Laughter was not what Grayson was expecting and he tilted his head, trying to figure out if the kids was nervous or just cocky. “Well I’m not really everyone so that rules that out doesn’t it?” He smirked, looking over the table and then the club. 

“You look a little young to be chasing skirts and drinking…” he examined the whiskey bottle. “Cheap whiskey.” He sat back in the chair and kicked up his boots onto the table. “Please don’t flatter yourself. I don’t do the whole…” he waved his fingers up and down at him. “Pretty hipster boys who think they’re the shit.”  He grinned. This was going to be fun playing this game. 

Another laugh and Tyler nodded, “Touche,”

Tyler knew that conversing with Grayson could be a bad idea, but Tyler was never really one to take the easy way out. If he was dangerous then Armand would have said to steer clear of him, or better yet he’d have run him out of town by now. Tyler assumed it was only fitting for them to meet eventually, yet to what extent he was not sure.

It was all just part of the game though, right? Grayson might be older and come from a long lineage of Alpha’s and chaos, but Tyler was entrusted to Armand and a valued member of Ultio. He did not scare easily.

“The only difference with me is that I know I’m the shit. Just ask any of these little skirts in here. Easy prey. I’m old enough; age is just a number,”

Grayson had one thing right...the whiskey was cheap. Regardless it did the job quite nicely, so he poured the man a drink and slid it over to him as a small peace offering. “I’m Tyler, the tracker in Utio. Like I said, you’ve probably heard of me. I’m a pretty big deal,”

Tyler & Katya || Don’t Hide || FB9

[tyler-fairview-blog]

katya-rhodes:

“You better believe it,” she grinned with a cheerful smile, “though you know by the time you are a senior I will be teaching. So you will have to keep up on school work– not that I doubt you.” She added because she didn’t. Tyler was a bright boy, someone Armand saw great things in. It was something truly amazing watching the young pups of a pack grow up and into these fine members. She wished her boys were alive so she could witness such a thing. 

She hummed something more to herself, a deep thought settling on her mind about paying his parents a visit to warn them away from the games before hand. Not in full threat, but enough to make it clear she would remove them in view of everyone. Maybe once she was in the school full time she could speak to the principle about it. Ban them from the grounds entirely to where she could get the police involved if she needed too. It was excessive, but she cared about Tyler. All the young wolves held a special place in her heart, more so the Ultio ones. She’d do anything to see to his future being exactly what he desired. The last thing he needed was Omega parents looming int he background. Even if apart of her wished they would work it all out.

“You know, I never once saw a football game until I came here,” she chuckled, thinking about her old life was chaotic, so vastly different than what she was able to have here. She peered up at him– moving into the question she actually wondered about. Concern only barely evident on her face. “Are you going to leave this here as is?” Speaking on the fort Tyler and Seth had made together. 

Knowing that Katya would be at his games was an elated feeling. Those types of events were special to the entire pack, not just to parents and family members. Having Kat there would be special, as her title within Winlock was special in its own way. He knew that Armand and her were close, and anyone that Armand trusted Tyler felt extra connected to. Although she was not part of the Ultio pack officially, Tyler knew she was important to his Alpha. This made her important to Tyler. He couldn’t wait to show off his skills and win games, and to look over at the stands and see her and Armand cheering for him. 

At the mention of Seth, Tyler sulked internally. At fourteen it was extremely rare for Tyler to sit inside the fort; that had been something that him and Seth did as children before he turned for the first time at age twelve. He didn’t see any reason to take it down yet. In a way, Tyler was still hopeful that one day Seth would turn back and everything would go back to normal like two years hadn’t gone by. He’d come to school, find a girlfriend, and go hunting just like when they were kids. If he tore the fort down, it’d be like tearing a piece of Seth down with it. And Tyler, although today had been especially hard, had not given up on his best friend.

“We can keep it. When he turns back he might want to see it, like a good memory after being in the cage all this time. He might need a safe place to go, you know?”

The stick was nearly finished and Tyler set it against the wall with the countless others. “I should probably go and see him...even just for a little bit,”

Tyler & Kali || The Best Part Of Me|| FB: 4 Years

[tyler-fairview-blog]

kalixbarnes:

Kali stared up at him, listening to every word he said. The more he talked, the more angry she got. How could he be so vicious to her? She understood his anger, but the things he was saying to her was breaking her. A small part of her wanted to just sit there and cry, but an even bigger part of her knew she had to stick up for herself. Using the anger from her wolf, she ripped apart the small part of her that was weak and she stood up from the couch, hands clutching into balled up fists until he was done yelling at her.

 “How dare you. How dare you treat me, someone you ‘love’, like complete trash! You think I don’t know the consequences of my actions?! You think I don’t know what I’m giving up and losing by making this decision?! Do you think it was easy for me to make this life changing decision?! You know I love to travel! You’ve known it for years and you always encouraged me to go and see the world! Now that I’m actually going to do that to with my life, you’re tearing me down!” Her tone was filled with anger and her skin was on fire, despite the tears still streaming down her face.

“I am well aware of how lonely it will be, but I’m ending our relationship, for you! Not for me! I’m not going out on my own to find some new love or some shit like that! I don’t plan on being with anyone else or anything like that! I’m doing this to do what makes me happy. I’m doing this to live out my dreams. If you loved me, you would want me to do that. You would encourage me and want me to be happy! And don’t even try to say that ‘aren’t you happy with me’ bullshit because you know you make me happy. I just need to do this for myself. You’re not the only one being hurt here. It’s killing me to do this. I don’t want to do this, but it would be even more selfish of me to keep us together while I’m gone 90% of the time. The fact that instead of wanting to see me when I visit to tell you about my travels, you would rather have me be miserable every time I see you isn’t like the Tyler I know and love.”

Kali swallowed hard as she looked at him. She really didn’t want to leave him. He meant so much to her and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, but she knew how loyal he was to the pack and to Armand and she could never ask him to leave it all behind, just for her. She thought about doing the whole long distance relationship, but it wouldn’t work. They would fight over when she was coming home and when she would go back out on her travels. She would also always worry about him in the back of her mind and she knew she wouldn’t be able to fully enjoy herself like that. Her voice lowered to a whisper as well, but not sounding nearly as irritated as his did. “I love you too Tyler. So much, but it has to be like this. We could wait for each other, if you really wanted to. Become better versions of ourselves before we get back together…but if you would rather move on and forget about me…” She trailed off for a moment before she continued. “I would understand….Just know that there won’t be anyone else for me. I’m not going to be with anyone else or anything like that…It’s always going to be you.”

“Better versions of ourselves? Better versions of ourselves?? This is the best version of me there is, Kal. I turned down college to stay here, because I’m loyal to the pack. And you? What are you anyway? You think you can just leave and expect to find happiness somewhere else? Fuck that. Your happiness should be here, with the pack, with me. Don’t do me any favors, don’t turn this around and say you’re doing this for me because that’s bullshit. You’re doing it for you,”

Maybe he didn’t fight fair, but it was all he had sometimes. And Tyler couldn’t understand for the life of him why this was happening. He knew that Kali wanted to travel, and a part of him always feared that this day would come. She was always supposed to come back to him, to Armand, to Winlock in general. She wasn’t supposed to stay gone. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.

“You could fuck a thousand guys and I wouldn’t care. Because in the end, you left me, and you have to live with that. So yeah, I’m gonna move on. Maybe I’ll find someone who actually wants to have a life together, someone who won’t leave me just like my parents did, or Seth. It’s gotta be better than taking all this bullshit from you right now. Fuck, Kali. Go find your happiness. Sorry that it couldn’t be me. Sorry that this wasn’t enough for you, because it sure as fuck was enough for me. Guess that makes me the biggest idiot in the room for thinking that you actually wanted to spend the rest of your life with me,”

Unable to take much more, he turned to leave. His stomach churned with fistfuls of anger and loss, and it made him sick. When he reached the door he paused, eyes closing and a deep sigh escaping his lips. He turned back to her, his voice coming out as borderline desperate and painful. “Last chance. Is this really what you want?”

Tyler & Grayson || Downtown

[tyler-fairview-blog]

wherethewildwolfisme:

This was the most time Grayson had ever spent out among the masses and he couldn’t tell if he enjoyed it or not. He felt lke a dog overwhelmed the sight of too many cars to chase so he sat at the bar and nursed his drink. As much as he enjoyed spending time with his new daughter, he felt himself going soft. That was one thing he would never allow. Least of all now when she was depending on him to keep her safe. 

It was easy to recognize those few women who were looking for a distraction and he was more than welcome to give any attention they needed. But when he saw a similar predator on the same hunt, he had to investigate. The kid looked familiar and Grayson stood, taking the bottle of whiskey with him across the floor. 

“You look familiar. Have I threatened you before?”

Tyler laughed in an extremely manly and cocky way, finding Grayson’s introduction to be quite hilarious in numerous accounts. One, Tyler didn’t get threatened. And two, he promised himself not to fuck around with Grayson, making it a point to steer clear of his path. He knew about him, and on several occasions he had wanted to play some sort of childish prank on him with the Chase sisters...and decided against it. Given Grayson’s past and his apparent need for chaos, Tyler was unfortunately out of his league. 

Not that he would admit such things out loud.

“Everyone knows me, so of course I look familiar,” 

Tyler took a generous swig of his whiskey; he was not drunk enough for this conversation.

“And you’re not exactly the company I wanted tonight, so unless you have some other motive...” Tyler looked him up and down in a mocking way. “...you’re just not my type,”

Do I know you || Tyler & Eve

[tyler-fairview-blog]

her-feral-beauty:

After many forrays into town and new acquaintances made, she had a better sense of who it was that had been bringing her kills nearly as long as she could remember, who it was that had been the first one to draw her ever closer to town. She’d never seen him, and it was a male that she’d always sensed, preferring to come to the large tree stump where the gifts were always left long after he’d been gone. 

For years she’d been too timid, too aware of the danger that meeting The Others could pose to her, a woman’s whispered words constantly playing in her ear. But she’d followed his trail first one time and then every time, constantly pulling her closer and closer to the source of light far in the distance from her hidden home. Now, finally, it was time. It was time to meet the wolf she’d known her entire life and yet never met. Down wind of the stump and high in the branches of a tree, she looked down through the leaves that formed a sort of bowl around her, hiding her while giving her a clear view below. It wasn’t Seth Boy, she knew that, for she could feel him even now, and strange sort of knowing of where he was… or more.. how he was. The lack of such a strong connection to the male who left her trinkets and kills, only made her more curious. The moment she sensed him, coming closer, The Girl lowered down to be even better hidden in her bowl of foliage, eyes locked on the direction through which he’d appear, breath bated in anticipation.tyler-fairview

Tyler knew every inch of the forests surrounding Winlock. From the brush on the outskirts of town to several miles deep into the hooded area of the mountains, no area was foreign to the hunters presence. For years he had spent almost every waking moment in the trees, especially as a child. With Seth by his side, the two wondered countlessly through the array of woods, picking out special places to have adventures and play pretend. Yet it wasn’t until Seth had gone, remaining locked away inside the cage by Armand, that Tyler discovered a whole new place that they had failed to see.

The wolf pushed a low hanging branch out of his face as he continued deep into the woods. Now a man, and hardly interested in playing pretend with the likes of anyone, he ventured towards the spot where he had always left his spare kills. It was a tree trunk, its base having fallen during a terrible storm, and it was important for Tyler to leave the rabbits and foxes on top of the tree stump for her to find.

Who she was remained foreign to Tyler’s knowledge. He had never seen her or spoken to her, let alone attempted to make any contact. There was just something about her lifestyle that told Tyler it was none of his business, that exposing her to the rest of the town would not be in her favor. How he figured this, he was not sure. But in return he had claimed the area around her small patch of land as his own, constantly surveying the perimeter and leaving his scent so that other wolves dare not enter his space. 

It had worked for years, but Tyler was not sure how long he could keep her a secret.

He dropped two rabbits on the tree stump and inhaled the dense, forest air. He could smell her; she was so close yet so out of sight that Tyler felt wrong to try to look for her. Was she watching him? Perhaps. As of lately, her scent had become stronger and stronger as the weeks went by, and once Tyler had sensed her so thoroughly that he thought she might actually step out from the trees to reveal herself to him after all these years. 

Tyler stayed for a moment longer. If she wished to finally meet him, then this was her chance.

Tyler & Maura || My Brother, My Sister || FB: 5 Years

[tyler-fairview-blog]

mauraxbennett:

Bounding after the wolf in front of her, Maura’s paws picked up speed. He managed to get a good distance ahead of her when she stopped to eye a rabbit in the snow, almost deciding to catch it and kill it. However, they weren’t hunting. Not at the moment anyway. Sparing the small animals life, she took off after her packmate.

Tyler had become a close friend of hers long ago. He was probably one of her best friends and was even at the point of friendship that she called him her brother. It was because he was like a brother to her that she was beaming with pride as she chased after him. Armand had given him the title of Delta and she couldn’t be more proud of him. They were both given titles, heavy and meaningful titles, in the pack. As a congratulations, Maura offered him a full day to do whatever he wanted and now there they were, chasing each other through the snow.

The cold breeze was slicking back her soft black fur as she darted her way through the forest, embracing and loving the cold snow under her paws. Winter had always been Maura’s favorite season, by far. When she heard Tyler’s howl, she ran towards it, stopping at the top of the hill that Tyler had evidently rolled down. Making her way down more gracefully than her brother, she finally reached him and playfully nuzzled his face with her own before tugging on his ear with her teeth.

The mountains were his home, and it was there in the forest that Tyler felt most comfortable. It had been that way for over a decade now; the trees outlining their small town were his haven, his sanctuary. Taught from a young age how to hunt and track, Tyler had started going out to the forest before he had even turned for the first time. With Seth by his side, the two troublemakers found it easy to take their adventures of make-believe into the trees. He knew every inch, every hill. Even in the snow, Tyler could easily find his way back to Winlock.

A disturbance in the trees above caused a pile of snow to crash down on the two wolves, and Tyler bounced from the mound playfully in response to Maura’s equal enthusiasm. In his wolfish form, Tyler generally only spent his time tracking and hunting, relying on the impeccable speed from his beast in order to cover longer distances. But now, he felt better than the need for a good hunt. His need to play and continue being worry-free for a while was only exaggerated by Maura. With her in his company, Tyler did not to be as serious as Armand expected him to be. He did not need to impress anyone or elate his prideful attitudes. He could enjoy the moment and just be.

He tackled her and rolled several times in the deeper snow, his teeth grazing the inside of her neck and giving it a gentle tug. The black wolves contrasted beautifully with the white canvas around them. Tyler always felt more connected to Maura in that sense, sharing the same coat and keeping that small bond. 

Think you can find your way back without my help? he teased, speaking to her through her own mind. He pinned her down, a wolfish smirk resting against his mouth.

Location || The Secret Cabin

When Seth and Tyler were boys, they found an abandoned cabin deep in the mountains. Inside was a dead witch. After cleaning up the body, they claimed the territory as their own. Today, when hunting, Tyler goes to the abandoned cabin and sleeps. It is hard to stay there most nights, but the shelter is rewarding. No one has ever discovered the cabin, and Tyler plans on keeping it that way. (via thread)

Tyler & Kali || The Best Part Of Me|| FB: 4 Years

[tyler-fairview-blog]

kalixbarnes:

Kali knew that smile and her stomach plummeted when she saw it. She had seen it in previous arguments and it honestly always scared her. Kali wasn’t much of a fighter, unless she had to. Otherwise, she rolled over and showed her belly, so to speak. Tyler won most of their arguments just from the sheer fact that Kali didn’t enjoy fighting with him in the least, always agreeing with what he said. There were few times she had stuck by her point, but they hardly fought anyway. However, this was one of those times where she wasn’t going to just give up and give in to what he wanted.

When he started talking, her bottom lip trembled and she dropped her eyes to the carpeted floor of her living room, tears streaming down her face. He was right. She was being selfish, but it was the kind of selfish that she needed to be. She felt a pang of guilt and pain when he said she didn’t love him, and she shook her head. He was wrong, because she did love him. It was because she loved him that she was ending things between them. He started ordering things from her. Ordering her to come back. Again, she lifted her eyes to his face and she took a deep breath through her nose. “Tyler…I-I do love you. I love you so much and I do want all those things with you, but it’s not fair to you if I go out on my travels and leave you here alone. Before, I wasn’t gone for very long. A week or so at the most, but now….Now I’ll be gone for months at a time. You’re right though. I will come back, but it will just be to visit and for the holidays and stuff. Otherwise, I’ll be out seeing the world and I can’t ask you to just sit around and wait for me. It’s not fair to you.”

The tears were falling even faster now and her inner beast was clawing to get out and run far away from the conversation. The amount of emotional hurt that she was experiencing and the way Tyler was demanding things from her was causing her wolf to act up. It wanted to flee from the emotional threats, but Kali kept it under control. She had to stay and this had to happen, no matter the hurt it caused.

“You’re choosing this over me, the person you “love”. You understand that don’t you? You understand that you won’t ever be able to fill that gaping hole in your chest no matter how many sights you see or countries you visit, right? Because you can’t just fall in love all over again, Kal. You’re going to be miserable and lonely, and it’s going to hurt so bad that you’re gonna crawl back here begging me to take you back. Nothing will make you feel better about this. You’re throwing this away for nothing!”

He was pacing now, hands and arms moving with his words as his voice boomed throughout the otherwise quiet house. Inside his own chest, his heart thumped erratically, threatening to expose his true emotions. But he didn’t want Kali to see them; she didn’t deserve them. He was so fucking angry and his blood boiled under his skin. Looking at her made him want to slam his hand into something solid, the way she cried as if that would make him feel sympathy for her in some way. No, it was just weakness, a weakness that Tyler knew would eat her alive every day she was out on the road. Good.

“I hope you wake up on day out there and realize that you are making the biggest fucking mistake of your life. And I hope when you come back here holidays you see how fucking happy I am without you. Because fuck this Kali. Fuck this and fuck your childish and petty need to live your life elsewhere,”

A part of him thought about Armand and wondered if his Alpha would make her stay. If there was anyone else in this town that could do it, it would be him. Tyler ran his hands down his face, his voice dropping to an irritated whisper. “I love you so fucking much, Kal. Don’t do this,”

[katya-rhodes-blog]

Tyler & Katya || Don’t Hide || FB9

[tyler-fairview-blog]

katya-rhodes:

Katya knew of childish motives that could warp perceptions of what could actually be happening around them and why. The fact Armand had found it prudent to place him in a human home was interesting information she actually hadn’t known, and a barely there smirk lifted her lips at that discovery. Of anything she understood about Alphas, they had the beauty of seeing the future. Not literal in a way, but in having vision. It was the missing pieces most brute type alpha’s lacked and eventually died off over. It didn’t take strength in physical prowess to survive, it was in shaping the future. In preparing your pups, and the pack as a whole. 

She nodded in understanding while he continued whittling over eating, wishing he only continue to distract himself so he would open up some more. 

“Of course,” she said simply, knowing this was something she honestly couldn’t entirely do within the rights of her status, but of anything she held a higher ranking than his parents did. When a young wolf came to her over anything she made it a priority to care for them as all costs. This was no easy request, and she would need to devise a plan so Tyler didn’t think she failed him or think she had lied. 

“This is a small town, and I can not stalk them so please understand accidents could happen, but if I find them near your school, games, anything where I am near– I will be sure to run them out,” she tucked a curl of hair behind her ear, leaning back on her palms to better see him yet step out if his space visually. “Parents do selfless things for their kids, no cost is too great. It could be possible, does that bother you? Have you ever sought answers beyond what you know already?” 

It was a heavy comment. One that marked her own choice in kidnapping her children and fleeing their tribe only to cause their deaths. She sighed lightly. Parents messed up their childrens lives. It was a given passage, all the good you did– you will caused them permanent distress. 

“I don’t need anymore answers. Armand has told me what was important, and how to feel, and that is what I will do,”

Tyler’s young pride for being in Ultio was beginning show during his beginning years in high school. He was forced to reconcile with younger children of opposing packs, and although it was steered into their minds to be at peace with one another, Tyler was finding it harder and harder to resist the urge to claim his authority. Some kids knew of his past and spoke of it behind his back, making up anxious lies about what really happened to his parents and exaggerating the stories. Others were fearful of him and stayed clear of his path. Tyler found the Lenio’s exceedingly annoying, and it would take everything in him not to pick a fight just to release some of his anger. All of this was in relation to Armand’s words and his teachings; that Ultio’s were strong, and to be a part of his pack meant to be a warrior. 

Whatever Armand told Tyler is what he would believe. He experienced this type of authority with Seth in the cage.

Tyler looked at Katya once again, pausing his shaving. “So does that mean you’ll come to my games then?”

It came off as hopeful, a special sort of gleam erupting inside a sea of brown eyes. Participating in sports was something that Tyler was looking forward to, and he hoped that Armand would also make an appearance on the occasion to watch him play. He had earned the position of wide-receiver on the JV football team for his high school, and Tyler had high hopes that he would climb in ranks decently fast. If he could balance his hunting and practicing equally, he could put the thought of his parents behind him for good.

Tyler & Tara || Your Beating Heart

[tyler-fairview-blog]

tarakeira:

For some reason learning Tyler’s father’s name made her feel special. And whether she admitted it or not, she was truly enjoying the conversation. She had a feeling it also meant something to Tyler, since these  probably weren’t things he talked about on first dates - unless they were all lies and he was trying to get sympathy just to get laid. Soon enough she was forced to mentally punch herself for even thinking that, though, because as soon as she looked into his soft brown eyes, she knew he definitely wasn’t lying. And there was truly something about those eyes that made her heart skip a beat.

If it hadn’t been for the alcohol which was starting to buzz in her veins pleasantly, she probably would have ignored the feeling. But she didn’t, and instead she tilted her head as she looked into his eyes, examining them to the tiniest detail while he spoke. When he reached out to touch her face, Tara smiled calmly. She truly felt at ease with him. And it was strange, since she always felt like leaving, no matter the situation. But every second with Tyler seemed to be exciting enough to make her want to stay there for as long as possible.

Tara was just about to answer when someone stole their attention, and she let the thought drift away – whatever it had been, it could wait. She felt Tyler moving closer to her, and she did so too, so that they were as close to each other as they could while still sitting side by side. The music was beautiful, and she closed her eyes unintentionally. Because that was also one of the things she did without even noticing it herself.

She could feel Tyler’s gaze burning on her face, and she let out a short breath, opening her eyes just to find Tyler staring deeply right back at her. His long lashes were close to touching her cheeks, and she felt a loss for breath. Pressing her lips against his, Tara’s hands automatically adjusted themselves to Tyler’s back as she pulled him closer. At Tyler’s suggestion, she opened her eyes with a small grin on her face, nodding while stealing another peck from his lips before downing her drink and getting up. The alcohol had settled in her stomach and was now making her feel just enough of the little dizziness: it didn’t have control over her movements, but rather her mood, making her feel even more relaxed. She locked her hand in his, intertwining their fingers smoothly, and admiring the warmth of his hand noiselessly.

The air blew her hair back when they stepped outside. “So. What’s our next destination?” Tara looked at Tyler again, the constant need for kissing him driving her crazy. So far she had been surprised with a lot of things on this date, and for some reason she felt that the surprises weren’t going to end just yet – the idea of which she loved.

There were plenty of adventures to be had downtown; more drinking, dancing at Hex, people watching...but none of them appealed to Tyler on this night. Those things were saved for the girls he hardly cared about, the ones that were very much human and raveled at his wolfish demeanor. The ones who danced exceedingly close as to not leave room for much secrecy between them, the ones that hung on his every word with lust in their eyes hoping that somehow he could fall in love with them if only they tried hard enough.

Tyler was protective of his wolf. While hunting, he preferred to be alone in order to connect with nature more vividly, and he demanded his spirituality to be uninterrupted. He hunted in both his human and beast forms, guiding each of them towards the next kill with poise and precision. Rarely did Tyler shift inside of town, and when he was in his apartment he stayed very much in his human exterior. Tyler did not believe that his lives needed to clash too harshly, and so he cherished the moments alone with his monster, as well as the moments far away from it.

With that in mind, Tyler turned at the next corner and started for Bingham Park. He hadn’t been there since the cookout and figured with some luck it might be somewhat deserted tonight. Granted, lovers flocked to the lighted areas of the park in order to watch the stars together and maybe get a little frisky under the moonlight, but Tyler had other ideas. 

“I could use a good run, what do you say?”

Ultio

Tyler is extremely loyal to Armand and his pack. Born into Ultio’s, he feels a sense of responsibility and partnership when it comes to other members of the pack. A special comradely is important to Tyler, and he seeks companionship with all members. His blood pumps with Ultio pride which has proven to be the cause of many fights in his past. He will defend Armand’s name with his life, if need be, and he makes it a point to be there for his brothers and sisters in times of peril. All Ultio’s have had a lasting impression on Tyler, and he feels privileged to have each and every one of them by his side.
