Chapter 1. A Run
P.O.V: ???
There I stand frozen in place a tall handsome God with dark red hair pinning my chosen one to a pillar growling. His gorgeous green eyes shearling black.
"She's mine.." The red head growled out. I couldn't help the electric feeling shooting down my spin with a shiver. 'Snap out of it girl!' I shake my head and my eyes snap to Luke's who was glearing at the strange man in front of him. I take a deep breath calming my nerves as well as my wolves. "Let him go" I demanded stepping towards the two men.
My wolf was conflicted in what to do she was wanting to melt in the hands of the handsome red head in front of us but was also wanting to rip out his throat for threatening our chosen one and hurting him.
The red head snaps his head in our direction and his eyes seem to soften and he let's go of Luke's neck stepping back from him and Turing to face us. My breath catches in my throat, his eyes captivating me and I couldn't help the butterflies in my stomach.
The man takes a step towards me but is stopped by Luke's quickly stepping in front of him growling his eyes completely black. "Back off" Luke snapped. I looked at Luke shocked by the sudden outburst, I ignore my wolf's protests as I grab Luke's hand from behind "Luke please calm down..." I whisper praying that the two men don't break out into a fight. I watch as his shoulders relaxed and he turns to me grabbing my shoulder. "We are going.. Iskara let's go...." I look at Luke's and tilt my head "we can't leave yet Mrs Nancy still has business here" I glance to the side. There stood Mrs Nancy shaking her head at Luke's outburst and rudeness towards our new clients. We didn't know much about them but the gorgeous red head seemed to be the leader of the small group they had with them. Everyone in the group where rather large and fit men a few women with them who where much smaller then me but just as fit as the men. The gorgeous red head had to be the biggest of the group standing at 6'8 towering over the rest of his group. "It's fine.. we were just leaving isn't that right Xavier.." one man from the group said. He was maybe 6'3 around the same hight as Luke was not much taller then myself. But my mind wasn't focused on him but the name he just said and the person he was referring to. 'Xavier...' I repeated the name a few times in my head while I bring my gaze back to the red head behind Luke. Xavier was a fitting name for him no doubt he had this bright welcoming energy about him and the man was built like a God damn house. "No.. not without her.." Xavier said in a low deep voice causing my body to shiver. 'Get it together girl..'
P.O.V Iskara
3 years earlier.
I was making my rounds around our small territory checking for any unwanted guests. We have been having quite a problem with a few loose Rouges trying to steal our food. 'Iz I think we should head back now I don't sense anyone in the area' my wolf Aroura quietly whispers in my mind "just one more spot to check Aroura then ill head back" I mumbled out loud. I could practically feel my wolf rolling her eyes at me. Aroura was always the same wanting to do nothing but lay around in the sun. I on the other hand was always on the move never able to sit still for long.
Reason why I was always on patrol duties, I don't live in a pack so I didn't really have rules or orders to follow. I and a few others lived with a little old lady who most called momma Nancy. Nancy wasn't a wolf like the rest of us but she was a super natural, as she was a witch. We all came to be living together when Mrs Nancy took us in as lost pups...
Far to younge to be on our own in the wilderness, most of us didn't have packs or even parents to return to. Mrs Nancy raised us as her own teaching us how to brew position and which plants help in healing wounds and what not.
I stopped at clearing looking out over the meadow keeping an eye out incase I seen any deer or even a few grouse. 'Can we go home yet? It's sooo hot out' Aroura grumbled, I chuckle and sigh giving in "alright I'm Turi-" I didn't get to finish my sentence as I was tackled to the ground with a large thud "MRS ISKARA LOOK LOOK!!" I lay on the ground a second trying to process what happened before I realized it was Mia one of the newest members to our little band of misfits. A younge and rambunctious wolf pup just about 10 years old. She was sitting on my stomach a wide grin on her face as she was holding in her hand what looked to be a dead squirrel. "Mia what have I told you about sneaking up on people!" I hear the soft footsteps and turn my head to see Luke's running towards us a few more squirrels in his hand.
I feel my cheeks heat up as I stear at him, Luke and I are a few of the oldest people here other then Max, Sarah and of course Mrs Nancy. "Sorry iskara.." Mia pouts and pushes herself off of me. Luke's walks over and offers me his hand, I blush even harder but look away getting up on my own "stubborn as ever huh Iz.." Luke's shakes his head smiling at me
"Yeah yeah says you!" I lightly punch him in the shoulder. Luke's stood about 6'2.. 6'3 a little on the slimmer side but all muscle the man was ripped to say the least, he wasn't bulky but it suited him the slimmer look, it matched with his bubbly personality.
I couldn't imagine this man bulking out his head would look so tiny compared to everything else. I wasn't much shorter then Luke standing at about 6"ft 6'1 myself, I was rather fit but was a little thicker then Luke everyone said I had tree trunks for legs. Not that I minded the way I looked, I quit liked the intimidating look I had it worked great for scaring Rouges off or when me and Max helped Mrs Nancy run errands when going into pack territory, Max was about 6'4 and huge! A long scruffy beard, everyone said he looks like a lumber jack. Which wasn't wrong he always wore flannel and had his sleeves rolled up. Work boots and jeans where his go to look, Max's was a big softy tho he just looked scary, though he wasn't the best fighter but seeing as he towered over most people, they normally avoided him and myself when we came to pack territory.
Mia snaps me out of my wondering thoughts as she pulls on my shirt "Iskara! Can we make some smoothies when we get home!?" Mia jumped up and down beside me and I couldn't help but smile "of course cupcake!" I bend down picking her up causing her to squeal and laugh. "Aww how cute!" Luke's teases me. I rolled my eye and looked at Mia "should we race Luke back to the house?" I c**k a brow and Mia nods "okay then.. ready... SET. GO!" I yell and quickly make a run for the house Mia still in my arms laughing up a storm "HEY NO FAIR!!" Luke yells from behind quickly trying to catch up but with the head start I had it wouldn't be an easy task.
I keep my eyes ahead following the narrow dirt path. Mia clenched close to my chest giggling like a schoolgirl, I smile and look back over my shoulder and see Luke was hot on my tail finally catching up. I smirk and push myself further to my limit going as fast as I could, branches and twigs snapping under my boots.
Looking ahead I see this rustic house a few stained glass windows stand out against the slightly gray wooden outside as well as the dark forest green trim.
I come to a complete stop in front of the house panting heavily, the pillars holding up the porch roof are over grown in flowery vines the sent of these flowers had always been so calming. I smile and set down Mia as she protests "noooo! I wanna piggy back and to pick some fresh plums!" I roll my eyes and set her down still trying to catch my breath
"now Mia *pant* what does I want get you?" I raise a brow at the small girl and she pouts looking down at her slightly muddy shoes "nothing.." she mumbles and sighs "That's*pant* right now run inside a-and go put that squirrel in the kitchen for dinner." Luke stops besides me panting heavily "f-f*****g *pant* hell iskara!" Luke sits on the steps to the porch and leans back before holding his hand full of about four squirrels towards Mia "M-mia wanna take these too?" Luke looks at her completely out of breath, Mia and I couldn't help but giggle at Luke "of course Luke!" Mia grabs the squirrels and skips off inside, I smile watching her skip away before I glance at Luke and decide to sit down beside him. Looking out towards the forest I couldn't help but sigh and lean back "wh-when did you get so fast!?" Luke sits up looking down at me a slight smirk on his face.
I couldn't help the blush creep up my face as I stear at Luke taking in his sweat drenched face a bead of sweat running down his four head, I prop myself on my elbows "I don't know maybe from running the border every day?" I tilt my head and flash him my best doe eyes.
Luke gose to say something but is cut off by the loud creaking sound of the front door opening.
