Chapter 37: The BlackClaw pack part 4

Andrea POV

I head to the pack house, it's full of life. I climb an open window. A teenager came from the bathroom with only a towel on his hips. He was startled by me. I put my finger on lips to shush him.

-"Please, don't mind link anyone. I just want water, and something to eat and I'll go on my way" I say in my most sweet innocent voice.

-"Your that chick everyone is trying to tag right?" He says with a smirk

I smile widely -"Yeah"

-"If I catch you, I'll be the winner right?" he says flashing his wolfs irises at me. The nerve on this kid! I'm gonna whoop his ass.

I get out of his room after tying the kid up and blindfolding him. I popped a few balloons on him, covering almost all his clean body. I set a trap quickly because I knew they'd come running. I climbed the window out to the first balcony and entered stealthily quiet. I sneakily go through the hall towards the kitchen as I hear them run to the room and curse when the balloon on the door splashes them all over.

I got to the kitchen, where a few omegas are working. They don't notice me at first or maybe they just don't pay me attention so I open the fridge and take two big bottles of water, a couple of reese's and family size peanut butter jar and put them all in my bag. I walk toward the kitchen's exit door, when Luna Susanna starts laughing out loud. She is at the kitchen door

-"I knew I'd find you here" she says flashing a smile at me. The omegas widen their eyes and gasp taking in my weird muddy appearance. I smile back at them

-"Sorry about all this... I'm just a bit hungry... thirsty. I ran out of chía bars" I say smiling as I down a bottle of water entirely.

-"How many have I tagged already?" I ask panting and wiping my mouth with my dirty forearm.

-"246, You just got Leo. The Alphas, gamma and one more warrior are the only ones left"

-"That's gonna be hard. I haven't seen them all day", I say as I take a bite of a carrot an omega was chopping.

-"I better get going, THANKS FOR THE SNACKS" I say as I exit the kitchen with my hands clapped together. I can hear wolves coming my way. From all directions. I go through the fields with all my speed. My muscles are burning by now and I'm losing strength so I have to end this quickly.

I lose the wolves behind me but I can hear low howls all around me and I go straight to the abandoned den. I cover the entrance with soil but leave a small hole in it. I can see clearly with my enhanced owl eyes but I need to eat quickly before all my stamina gets drained completely.

I open the peanut butter as quietly as I can and I use my fingers to eat it desperately. I almost moan at the taste. I finish it up in like ten minutes, and I drink a bit more water. I check on my slingshot and the rubber is worn off, it'll brake soon so I change it. I still have six balloons and like a hundred paintballs. I focus on my breath, lowering my heartbeat. Just resting my body and mind, I refocus and synchronize them both.

I put both my hands on the ground. Sensing my surroundings. The trees, the sleeping animals, the night creatures, I become one with them, with nature.

I expand my senses and sense the five big wolves remaining. They are about a mile from me near the cliff where we had our night date. I sense the other wolves positioning themselves all through the land, almost covering the whole territory. I can even visualize them taking the positions.

I smirk widely. They've finally figured it out.

I have to leave this den fast so they won't corner me that easily though. I rub myself with more muddy soil to hide the peanut butter scent. l exit quietly as soon as I can. I run towards the lake where the cliff ends. I can hear the wolves paws, running and distant howls so I climb a tree and wait.

Nobody comes my way. They know where I am so they're kindly guiding me. I chuckle.

-"Alright then" I mutter to myself.

I got to the lake, jumping as soundlessly as I could, not even shaking the trees. They had lost me a couple of times and they'd howl loudly or growl when I made sure I led them to think I was going to the cliff from the forest side the last time they spotted me. I lost them again but went climbing the cliff up like a mountain goat. The cliff was about 1200 m high. But I still had the strength to do it quickly and stealthily.

Without making any sounds, I'd jump a few meters up using my legs like a frog and hold myself as tightly as possible. It took me an hour or even more to get up there. I hid behind a rock. Nathan was in wolf form 350 yards with his back in front of me, with his ears perked up, like sonars. I took my blow pipe and a balloon.

Tom's wolf and a man were both on his sides but like 30 yards separated. I couldn't see Alpha Marty but I knew he was around.

-'Eeny, meeny, miny..' I let Patricia decide

-"Moe" I whisper before throwing the balloon at Tom's neck and with the pipe I hit the guards back.

Nathan turned around so fast I'm surprised he didn't get dizzy. His eyes wide open. I sprint to Tom as fast as my now throbbing legs let me because the balloon didn't pop and I jumped to his neck and popped another balloon on him.

I jump off of him and I walk slowly, my legs slightly squatting, leaning forward. I spotted the Alpha. He tried to hide but I could sense him.

-"Alpha" I say looking over my shoulder in his direction and bowing my head, acknowledging him.

-"Shadow. You are so beautiful" I say smiling at him. he looked at me and gave me his wolfy weird grin with all his teeth showing. I chuckled.

-"¿Are you giving up?" I say with a smirk and a raised brow. He growled at me playfully and snapped his teeth.

-"I can do this all day" I lick my lips, smirking wickedly -"And all night"

I hear some bones breaking and readjusting and I turn to look.

From the trees comes out, in all his great naked-as-the-day-he-was-born-glory, Alpha Marty saying

-"Well I can't" shrugging.

My brain goes literally into brain coma and takes a few seconds to restart and register what my eyes where witnessing

...

...

...

-"OH, MY EYES! MY EYES!!" I shout as I cover my eyes. I almost punched myself in both eyes.

-"HOLY s**t SIR —... ALPHA! YOU ARE NAKED!!" I say 8 octaves higher than my normal voice

-"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!! YOUR MY—.. IM NOT SUPP—" I babble frenetically

I shake my head and all my body like I'm possessed and I turn again to try and stop my head from exploding. I breathe and as I put my hands down

A HUGE ,WET RASPY TONGUE GOES ALL OVER MY FACE IN ONE HUGE SLIMY LICK.

My head rebooted for a few seconds, AGAIN, as I couldn't even move or think or breathe.

...

...

...

-"TAG!!" a still naked Alpha Marty said excited while Shadow was grinning at me looking so adorable. I blinked twice

-"I-I.. don't.. that was... I mean..." I say shaking my head in negation as I realized the best checkmate done to me ever!

-"That was EPIC. Nice done Alpha" I say smiling at Shadow.

-"I won't ever be able to see your face again but, that was really well played" I say and Tom howled and all the wolves howled unison

A few minutes later

-"Finally... I can go back to my beautiful Luna. You really impressed us all today Andy, it's been decades since I had so much fun playing tag. You really made us work our asses. And you did tag all our warriors".

I'm still blushing so hard I cover my eyes with my arm and I turn to him.

-"Thank you Alpha, it's been an honor for me to have this day with you guys, I haven't done this for almost a decade, so I'm sorry for being a bit rusty and took my time with you guys. I had to nap a few times to regain my strength. And to pump"

I hear him laughing out loud

-"You can lower your arm Andy I'm all dressed"

-"Nop Sir Alpha, sir, thank you very much I'm ok with my arm right here"

He laughs a little more and shifts again, with Tom and the other warrior howling and leaving Nathan and me alone.

I feel a cold wet nose nudging me on the neck.

-"¿Are they gone?" I ask. My arm is still covering my face. Another nudge

I open one eye to see as Shadow starts licking my neck and face.

-"I still can't believe you'd trick me like that" I say as I chuckle and scratch his neck. He titled his huge head, leaning into my hand.

-"You are something else you know that?"

He nudges me again a bit harder and I fall into my butt

-"Hey, that's not fair. My legs are not responding to me, I just climbed up the cliff for more than an hour!"

He sniffed my head and body making me stiff again, than made a gag reflex

-"Yeah..yeah I stink like a dead animal I know.."

He licked my cheek again and sat next to me, his huge paws over my thighs Then he put his head on my lap too.

-"Hey I'm not a pillow, you're the fluffy hairball" I pet his huge head, burying my hand on his fur. So soft.

I lean onto his huge head, whispering on his ear

-"Thank you for letting me do this. You have no idea what this means to me"

He looked up at me and licked his snout

-"This is the first time since I was out of his spell, I've felt as my old self. I felt completely connected to nature, to my roots, free, powerful, with no doubts or self pity. With no walls or act. Thank you for letting me just be me" I say as I kiss his head and the top of his snout.

I scratch his neck and he leans even more to the side. As I continue to scratch him he slowly turns side up, giving me full access to his belly. I scratch under his jaw, down his big fury chest and his belly. As I go lower his leg starts to move involuntarily.

I laugh out laud he growled at me and rolled his eyes and I lay back laughing hard and wincing as the pain of the whole day workout comes back to my body at once.

-"I think I broke my body, I can't even move. All my muscles are aching and cramping at the same time. I didn't even know that was possible" I chuckle. He makes weird wailing and barking sounds like he's talking to me, nudging me with his head on my stomach.

-"I just need a few more minutes here. Look at the moon. Oh can you please pass me my bag? It's behind that rock" I say pointing with my finger, still not moving.

He does and I take out two very nasty smashed reese's XL peanut buttercups. He sneezes

-"Help me out will ya' " and he helps me get in a sitting position with his huge head.

-"Thanks" I say as I try to unwrap my chocolate and devour it like it's my last meal.

He puts his head between his paws, looking at me as I lick the chocolate from the wrap,

-"I could eat a horse right now. I owe you a family size peanut butter. The sprints made me lose huge amounts of energy so I needed the extra stamina. I ate all my chía bars, and if I needed to run away from your wolves again I would burn a lot of calories..."

-"Now, let me just—" I say as I close my eyes. I breathe the pain away, slowly regaining control over my muscles again.

I turn my body slowly, I'm on my knees and hands, I put a foot down and I try to stand up. I wobbled a bit and Shadow helped me steady. My eyes were getting groggy.

-"Lets get back I need food and a three hour bath, I really stink!" I say as I start walking but he barks at me.

-"¿What?" I ask furrowing my brows. he lowers his head and bows a bit, waiting.

-"¿You want me to ride you?" I say amused, he wails.

-"Oookaay?" I say hesitantly. I could use the ride. My hands and bare feet are starting to hurt so bad it's throbbing. He lowers his body to the ground but i still have to jump a bit to get on his back.

I hug his neck tight and he starts to run. I feel the wind on my face, he goes around the lake, splashing water, getting us both wet and I feel exhilarated. I laughed as he sprinted and went even faster, I almost fell when he jumped from one rock to another and a yelp escaped me. He runs all through the packs territory, and I loved every second of it.

We enter the packs, he goes up the stairs with me still on him to the 4th floor. He leads me to a beautiful big room. I jump down his back and open the double doors. It's elegant, manly, with the scent of Nathan surrounding me, filling my nostrils.

Shadow goes to a door on the left side I hear his bones begin to crack so I turn to face the wall. I yelp as I feel a hand on my shoulder, and my hand instinctively takes it, pulls and with my body I make him fall on his back.
