The Alpha's princess mate

12-wolves in the garden

-Naysha-

Naysha watched in fear as the black wolf stepped in front of her in a protective manner and growled loudly at the brown one. The brown wolf shrugged for a minute, but then barked loudly back. It was about to attack, her or the wolf that seemed to be protecting her for some reason, she didn't know.

The black wolf growled once more at the brown one, as if to warn it about what was about to happen next. She couldn't tell if the two large animals belonged in the same pack or not, but the one that was protecting her was clearly stronger.

And then, all of a sudden, the brown wolf jumped towards her, its teeth shinning under the moon like daggers drenched in blood. She screamed and covered her eyes with her hands. She should run, she knew she should run, but her feet had frozen and in place. But, before she had any chance to react, the black wolf attacked the other one, by biting strongly down at its neck. The brown wolf cried out in pain and felt on the ground, but it quickly rushed back to its feet and, as the black wolf was begining to walk towards her, it attacked it from behind, practically jumping onto its back and biting viciously down at its neck.

The black wolf growled in pain. Its enemy was now on top of it, with its teeth burried in the flesh of its neck. Without thinking too much about it, Naysha lifted one the biggest stone she could find on the ground and threw it directly at the brown wolf's head. She managed to disorient it for a few seconds and her action gave plenty of time to the black wolf to shake its attacker off of its back. The brown wolf landed on its back on some of the tables that were left from the party earlier and growled in pain. The black wolf approached it and Naysha watched in terror as it bit one of the brown wolf's legs off. Blood was spurting towards any direction and the brown wolf's cries of agony were the only thing she could hear. This was all too much, nothing about what had just happened made any sense. Her body was suddenly feeling too heavy and everything around her began to spin. A small cry escaped her lips before she fainted.

When she opened her eyes the sun had came out. She slowly looked around. She was laying in her bed, although she had no memory of how she had gotten there in the first place. The last thing she could remember was the two wolves and the blood and...her eyes widened as memories from the last night's events filled her mind. She had seen not one, but two huge wolves. She had pet one of them as if it was just a harmless puppy. She had thrown a stone at the other one. She had watched them tear each other to pieces.

What was going on? This was by no means normal behavior. It should have been the alcohol, apparently she would turn into this reckless stupid person whenever she drank. She made a mental note to avoid it completely.

"Finally, you're up!", Anya's cheerful voice came from somewhere on her left. She slowly rose from the pillows, finally noticing her friend that was sitting on an armchair close to her bed. She was flawless as always, but she seemed anxious and tired, as if she had barely gotten any sleep last night. "How are you feeling?". Anya's voice was full of concern.

"I don't know. I mean, my body feels ok. It's just..i saw wolves in the garden last night, after the party was over. Very large wolves. I, i don't know how i managed to get away in one piece."

Anya noded understandingly. She stretched an arm out towards Naysha and gently caressed her forearm. "I know, they must have smelled all that food from yestarday. I came downstairs looking for one of my earrings that i most likely lost during the party and saw you laying there, pale as a sheet and unconsious. I got so worried", she explained in a soft, reasuring tone. "You are safe, the wolves didn't hurm you at all", she added with a big smile.

"I..i know. I mean, i know it sounds crazy, but i think that one of them was kind of protecting me. Of course, it was vicious, it almost ate the other wolf's leg. But it was so friendly to me, it even let me pet it." Saying it out loud sounded like crazy talk even to herself.

However, Anya seemed to believe her. And that was very relieving. "Some of the wolves have gotten used to human presence, given the fact that my family lives in the middle of the forest for centuries. I have also pet one in the past, i know how friendly they can get."

Naysha gave her friend a smile. "Everything does make more sense now. They were probably in the garden searching for something to eat."

Anya returned the smile and nodded. "Speaking of food, breakfast is about to be served any minute now. We should go downstairs, everyone is worried sick about you!"

She wasn't sure about joining the entire family for breakfast, she was still feeling weak and disoriented. Plus, things between her and Seth had gotten pretty steamy last night and, on top of everything, she had gotten so drunk that he had to carry her all the way to her room. She was too embarashed to face him.

She was also feeling pretty awful about Anya, too. Seth was her brother and she had not only fooled around with him behind her back, she had even almost begged him to kiss her.

She didn't understand what was going on between them, but it was weird. And intense. Ever since they had met she couldn't get him off her mind, she was obsessed, as if her soul too was craving him, not just her body. Sure, he made her knees melt just by looking at her, but there was more, much more going on between them.

"Uhm..actually I think I'm gonna stay in bed for the day if it's ok with you. I'm not feeling that good". Anya looked worried for a moment, but then her glossy lips curled up in a smile.

"Of course, how stupid of me!" She hit her forehead theatrically and sprinted up from her seat. "Rest, you need it! I'll come back later to check on you", she added and exited the room after blowing her some air kisses.

Naysha sighed loudly and sunk in the pillows.
