How does this guy have so much money? Mike hissed to the small group of wolves. He sat, perched near a rock with them as they over looked the valley and the huge white and stone mansion.
Peter and me have a theory. Justin said.
Drugs. Tyler finished, Drug runner. Pusher. Gotta be something.
Jeez. Mike looked over the valley again, Gray, maybe we should join the drug-lord bandwagon.
Grayson growled, not peeling his eyes from the house, I think I smell a human.
Gotta love that alpha nose. Mike commented.
I haven't seen any movement on the west side, maybe that's where the females are. Grayson seemed to think it through, That would be the easiest entrance. We can get through them fast.
Mike nodded, Chicks it is. He went to move forward and Grayson snapped, he halted to his alpha.
We're not fighting them today. We're going in there for the human and if she's alive, whoever finds her takes her and calls. No screwing around.
The wolves all stayed quiet.
Grayson turned and looked back out, That alpha is going to smell me soon. Let's go. Lie low.
They followed him down the hill in between rocks and shrubs, trying to get as close as possible without being noticed.
Grayson looked to the visible big bay window, I'll break it.
Mike licked his lips, I'm excited.
Grayson glanced at him, Sometimes I really want to know what's wrong with you and then I think, no. I really don't.
Mike cocked his head, Nice.
Let's go. Grayson stepped out from behind the boulder, then ran, jumping right through the window of Oscuro's lavish den. Stopping by colliding with a near wall as Mike, Justin and Tyler followed in pursuit.
Through the screaming and muffled cries, Grayson focused on the premises he'd just invaded.
Go now, start looking! He commanded.
Mike took off into the kitchen, the children in the corner were under the protect of their mothers as he passed by, not putting any focus on them as a threat.
Grayson followed into the living room, where the sound of males shouting came up from the basement as they charged the stairs.
Grayson looked to the door, dropping his muzzle and squaring his shoulders, looking to be anticipating a direct fight at any moment.
It came.
Three men rushed out and shifted, coming at him. He got past all with ease and crashed down into the basement, taking down the railing and breaking a few steps in the process.
He recovered, shaking his coat out and looked around the dingy basement that didn't match the house it was suppose to be apart of.
It was silent.
Grayson stepped forward slow, sniffing the air.
Mateo stepped from the shadows, “How dare you do this to my home.”
Grayson snapped around and stared at him.
“Alpha.” Mateo hissed, looking him over, “And your pack?” He smelled the air, making a slight exaggeration with his eyes.
“It smells familiar.” Mateo flew forward and shifted, tackling Grayson.
Grayson slammed into a near stone wall and slipped the ground. He got to his feet quickly and flew at Mateo, Where is she!
You're here for the girl. Mateo snapped to his feet and snarled, Where's Turner?
Grayson came at him, sending the other alpha across the dirt floor, I wouldn't piss me off. Where is Abigail?
Mateo snapped at him but Grayson held him pinned.
I will win. Grayson snarled, baring his teeth.
Mike crashed down the stairs.
Search the rooms! Grayson commanded.
Mike took off and Grayson looked away from Mateo watching his Beta, in that split second he was thrown and pinned.
Mateo slammed his head to the near wall and jumped on top of him, biting into his neck.
Grayson roared, pushing Mateo off, You rat.
Mateo snapped at him as Mike's long howl echoed up the cavern.
Mateo's ears flew forward and Grayson took the alpha's reaction as Mike was where he wasn't suppose to. Running forward, Mateo chased behind.
Mike howled again and Grayson crashed into the near room where Abigail Redding laid, covered in her own blood and crumpled into a mess.
Crap. Grayson stared at her.
She's still alive. Mike nudged her to her back and they studied her as Mateo came in the room.
Get back! Mateo shouted, charging them but Mike jumped forward and held him back the best he could.
Grayson stared down at the bloodied woman, sniffing her again.
Don't you touch that female! Mateo roared, shoving Mike flat to his back.
Grayson spun around to face him, She's a human. This isn't fair.
Mateo snapped at him, Turner's territory is mine! I warned him!
Grayson turned back around and lifted her arm in his mouth, dragging her an inch or so. She screamed, becoming coherent.
No! Mateo threw Grayson across the room.
You're really pissing me off! Grayson ran at him and slammed him to the floor, grabbing his throat as Mateo's Beta and another male attacked. Pinning Mike.
Kill the beta! Mateo commanded to them.
Mike swung his legs wildly, trying to become free from their drooling grips.
Grayson flew past Mateo and threw the wolves off Mike.
Mateo and his males cornered them.
Giving up? Mateo snapped.
Grayson and Mike growled.
Mateo! Justin and Tyler walked into the room, a woman in their jaws.
Grayson's eyes flashed with interest, looking over the heavily pregnant female.
“Mateo!” She shrilled, still in her human form.
The wolf spun at the sound of the distressed woman, Let her go!
Tyler growled, tightening his jaw on her, Stay back!
Mike perked up, The Luna.
“Mateo.” She sobbed.
Don't hurt her. Mateo snapped at them.
Grayson walked up behind him, Give us the human.
Mateo turned to him, looking back to his luna. He thought a moment and Justin adjusted his mouth on the females neck.
“Mateo!”
Have her! Mateo snapped, Take her.
Mike ran to Abigail and nudged her up but she was unresponsive again, Grayson.
Grayson looked to Justin and Tyler, Keep her till we're cleared. You won't mind, will you?
The luna sobbed, “Ow...”
No, just don't hurt her. Take the human! Mateo roared at them.
Grayson walked over to Abigail, judging the situation with care.
Mike nudged her again and her eyes opened, rolling back and then reopened.
She stared up at Mike and screamed, but she didn't move, her frightened screams turned to pain.
She's dying! Mike said to Grayson.
Grayson watched the girl, coughing blood. You slime bag!
Mike nudged her and she screamed again.
Grayson stared at her, Get her on my back.
They shimmied her up as Mateo's luna cried, Justin and Tyler keeping Mateo at bay with the threat against his mate.
Grayson balanced Abigail over his neck and she gripped him, like she knew he was going to help her. Still she sobbed though from her blatant pain.
Don't follow me. Don't test me or I'll rip you to shreds. Grayson warned Mateo.
Mateo stayed silent as he left with Abigail.
Justin and Tyler dragged the luna with them up the stairs.
“Please, stop!” She shrilled but it had kept the wolves of Oscuro away at the very least.
They got to the top and Mike shut the door, clicking the deadbolt down with his paw, Losers.
Justin and Tyler dropped the luna as Grayson booked it out of the house. They followed him. Abigail still crying in pain, but her knees gripped him and as he ran, she continued to grip him. However, the running seemed to start to take it's tole and she fell from him, hard on the ground in the hot sun after fifteen minutes.
Grayson came to a quick stop and turned to her, Crap.
Abigail lied still, coughing more blood.
Mike looked down at her, They messed her up good!
Animals. Grayson snapped, Just like my brother.
Gray, I think you need to return the favour.
Grayson watched her as she looked to them.
“Please.” She breathed through her pain, her eyes strained tears as the blood seeped from her mouth to her dirt filled cheeks. Even if she didn't understand them, it's like she knew it was coming.
Grayson dropped his nose to her arm, his jaw unhinging.
Mike watched, This is intense.
Grayson growled and bite her.
She screamed a gut curdling scream, her panic and pain obvious but she was too weak to deal with any of it and slowly, her screams tapered.
Grayson licked the wound, ensuring the bite seeped beneath her skin and mixed with her very human blood, Welcome to the world of werewolves, Abigail.
Justin and Tyler were running towards them, Wait!
Grayson and Mike shot around.
What happened? Grayson snapped.
Nothing. Justin assured him, But Mateo is going to be pissed now.
Should have kept the pregnant luna. Gave him a taste of his own medicine. Mike shot, And now look, she's out cold from the shock of the bite.
Justin stopped and stared at her, You changed her!
She was dying. Grayson snapped.
Mike nudged her, What do we do with her?
Put her on my back. Grayson instructed, lying down.
She won't...
Do it. Grayson cut him off.
Mike grabbed her shirt and hauled her on Grayson's neck, taking care.
Grayson stood, balancing her on his broad back, Now, let's go. He couldn't run but the trot with his long stride was decent enough.
Justin and Tyler came beside him, We could stay behind.
Grayson stopped at the wolf's words, he'll be stupid to follow me. I will shred him but if he does decide to do anything stupid, I'd like to be ready.
Mike agreed.
They were at the mid way point, almost on Fornone territory.
Grayson looked to Justin and Tyler, Call in your pack. If Mateo wants to come in, they'll have to get by a line up first.
The males agreed to the command and ran along the border away from them.
You did it. Mike looked the blonde over as she lie limp on Grayson's back.
Grayson stayed quiet as they trotted the dry grass lands.
You think he's going try to invade? Mike wanted conversation, like usual.
Like I said, he'd be stupid too but he might be that stupid. Grayson growled as Colten's house came into view.
Nice. Mike commented, Easy stuff.
They made their way towards the house the sound of Abigail's breathing changed.
What's that? Mike asked.
Her body changing. Grayson said in a low voice.
Oh.
Their appearance at the back of the house was silent, then the door burst open and Chloe was first out.
“Grayson!” She looked relieved but something else was going on, “Oh my god, get in here, Grayson!”
Grayson snorted as his luna ran at him. He dropped Abigail to the ground and shifted.
Chloe chucked his pants at his head, “God!” She fell down beside her, “Pick her up!”
“Why are you so upset?” Grayson shot at her as he pulled on the jeans.
“Colten's up. Me and Alma have been basically keeping him restrained. Well, we've been lying to him but he smelt her right away. He's about to go insane, if he can get out of bed.”
She took her arm and saw the bite then looked to her mate, “You changed her.” She said in a soft voice.
Grayson nodded, “She was dying.”
Chloe swallowed, covering her mouth with her hand, “Bring her to him.”
“She's unconscious.” Grayson pointed out.
“Do it, Grayson!” Chloe shrilled, “I swear, I saw his eyes do that crazy alpha thing your's do.”
“What?” Grayson creased his brow, “I have crazy-eyes?”
“Grayson.” She shot.
He picked up Abigail from the ground and walked up the back porch with his mate at his side.
Footsteps thundered through the house and they both paused.
“Oh, damn.” Chloe ran into the kitchen to intercept the alpha, “Colten!”
He skidded to stop, colliding with a chair, that he then threw out of his way. The rage and what Chloe called a crazy-alpha eye faded as his line of sight changed.
“Abi?”
