Fated Or Doomed

DownTown Date

Liv

Ah. How tiring I have been these last few days. Almost a week since the Blessing and I have been buried under paper work. I never leave the office. And when I do. It still work and work. Getting everyone sorted properly. My brain goes numb after a few hours. I forget to eat but with little time I’ve been settling with just blood to get me by these days. And I always had to make some time to study up. The wolves meeting is near. I can’t look tired. They’ll think I’m over my head. It would just be another reason for them to black list us or worst.

As if they’re not already thinking it.

Knock Knock

I look up from an email. Sighing as I inhale warm cinnamon scent walk into the room. Travis walks over to me. Kissing my head. Knowing I need his comforted.

“Mh. Thank you.”

He lifts my chin to kiss it. “It was more for me than you.” I blush hard. “I was told you keep refusing meals?”

Ugh not again. He has been bugging me about it. Rants on that I’ll rot away if not. “Look.” I throw my hand out to show loads of papers and emails. “I’m drowning in them. The blood gets me by. I’m fine.”

He thumbs his big ass on the desk. Moving most of the paper to the side. A few falls on the floor. I complain but he quickly grabs my attention.

“I’m not gonna say it. Because we argue over it already. But.” Raising a finger at me. “You need to come with me later today.”

“Babe. I can’t right now. I have a video meeting in 20 minutes..” I retract.

“At 1! You meet me outside. You need to get out of here.” I begin to complain but he continues. My mouth shuts and quivers at the end. “You have to delicate Little Witch. I’m seeing you floating away then feeling it now. So date time. It’s been too long.” His eyes do a little spark that make my brain reload. And my body stiff as each nerve goes crazy.

“Cute. But work isn’t gonna wait. We can..”

Before I can finish. He jumps off the desk. Turning my chair and towering over me. Malcolm flaring his nose. Demanding I step away.

“I wasn’t asking Little Witch. Date or no more cuddles for you.” He threatens.

Really. Not fair. He knows how much I love cuddling with his large body.

“I got to meet Gamma at 1:30 for our private training.”

“I don’t care. Call and cancel. It’s one day. The work will still be there.” He leans in, our noses touching. “I’ll even do things if you stop whining.” He promises me.

I go in to kiss him. As he temps me. Yet my phone goes off. I press a button. Ignoring it. It buzz no stop and again it rings as Travis and I have a stare down.

Getting very annoy he growls when he see the name on my phone. I see his brown turn dark. He quickly answers Perry’s call. “Sorry Elizabeth is busy with my d**k in her mouth.” And hangs up.

“Are you out of your mind!” I get up quick. Angry. I pick up the papers he drop earlier.

“For you, yes baby.” I turn to terribly hid my smirk from him. “I don’t like his obsession of you.”

“He’s not obsess.” Slamming the papers on the desk as I throw my body back on my chair.

With a rise brow. “Okay sure he’s not. At least he will learn to stop calling you so much. Especially when we’re sleeping or in the middle of sex.”

“Perry is helping.” I know my shipment with Perry isn’t a liking to the boys. But he has done good. He doesn’t call so much anymore since the Blessing. But the text is another thing.

“Obsessive.” He flares at me.

I roll my eyes. “Look.” Showing Travis letters and emails of fellow witches and covens. “He has help spread out the word. I have not stop receiving. He’s doing good.”

“And you think this is because of your ‘friendship’.” Mocking.

“We are nothing more.” I snap.

“Mh. Fine.”

Travis looks me up and down. Running his hands up my thigh. I shake my head no. I know what he thinks of Perry. And his clear signs for me. But I also make it clear to him. Perry is just.. He’s Perry. If you know what I mean.

“I’ll just give you an example of what you’ll be missing if you stood me up later.” He kneels down. Kissing my thighs.

I try not to move but my body arches. He pins my wrist down. Wiggling his finger at me. The closer his breath gets, my head tilts back.

Quickly a knock is heard. It’sGamma.

“Luna? I need.” She stop in place. “Sorry I can come back later if you’re busy.”

My head snap in a slight embarrassment. Travis quickly stands up. Fixing himself as if he wasn’t about to do what he was about to do.

I wave for her to come in. “No, no. Come in.” Sarah let a soft grin as she says hello to Travis.

“I’ll let you ladies be.” He kisses my lips. Walking to the door, reminds me, “1 o’clock. Don’t make me drag you into the car.” I snarl under my breath as he walks out the door.

“Sorry about that. You need something Gamma?”

“Um yes. I wanted to let you know I may have to cancel our training today. And the others for a while.”

I frown a bit. “What? Why?”

She clears her throat. Siting awkwardly. “It has seem that your tea did its job. I’m expecting.”

My eyes widen in joy. I rant on asking the obvious questions. Gamma was so happy. Her and Kan have been trying for a pup for a while now. They found out the other day. Sarah has just now return from the doctors. She’s only 5 weeks along and is already feeling sick. Wolves pregnancies are a lot different than witches. For us, were more like human pregnancies. Wolves are very different. They’re shorter, so the growth process is faster.

“If it’s okay to ask. Can we keep it under the table. Kan wants to work the news in. And I don’t want to be on desk duty yet. The guys will just be more stupid if they know too soon.” She say.

I completely understand. Before me, she got the boys on lock. The one reason she didn’t want kids until I came. Gamma may be smaller but they fear her. And with us both. They can hardly look us in the eyes. Supposedly Gamma will hit them in the balls when they’re too much of a dumbass. She stopped after we met. Now I handle their stupidity.

“Ohh of course. I understand.” I stand to embrace Gamma. Congratulating her and Kan on their pup.

We talk for a bit. Working some things out. She plans to keep the ruse about it by less physical activity. Which means little to no training with others. She would also have to stay back during most calls when I’m out. Normally Gamma’s have to accompany their Luna’s as their protectors. In this case I will stay behind so no one questions.

Travis

It is now 1:05pm and I see Elizabeth’s leg bounce up and down with irritation. I couldn’t help but watch her figure catch my eyes.

“What the hell happen to, 1:00 o’clock or else. Shit.” Mocking my words.

I chuckle as I kiss her cheek, apologizing. “I said for you to be here at 1. Not me.”

She huffs and puff as I open the car door for her. “Where are we going anyway?” I shake my head no. Not wanting to ruin the date I have plan. I walk over to my side. Starting up the car. “Can you at least give me a hint?” Crossing her arms.

I reach over her. Buckling her in. Goddess know this stubborn witch believes she can’t get hurt. But damn me we crash and that kills her. “Seat belts Little Witch.” She slaps my hand away. “You need this break. And I need time away with you. So if you love us. You’ll stop asking and just trust us. Fake a smile baby.”

She mutters a ‘love you’ and mutters the whole ride. Her mood change as I allow her to put her insane music on. Not us guessing such a small woman will be into such dark, loud music. I note to take her to one of those heavy-metal concerts one day.

“Admit it. You like it.”

“Mh huh.”

Time pass and I take the next right. Driving into a smallish parking lot. Elizabeth turn in a confuse look. She ask question after question. I just lay my hands on her shoulders. Helping her move one foot at a time to enter the building.

“Really boys? A Rage Room?” She whined.

“We have to do something about her complaining so much.” Malcolm says.

“We get her to whin for us later.” I chuckle.

“Yes a Rage Room. I heard good things and both of us need the stress relief. Work has been more than overloading.” I hand the guy my card as I pick out our bundle for the next 2 hours.

Despite the average knowledge people hear about Rage Rooms. I am surprise to see the options they gave out. You chose your time, size of objects in one section. You can pick a paint art gallery with or without items. You can include whatever you choose. And bring items from home if you choose too. My favorite part was an option of a black light version. Which sounds fun. Another option is throwing axes, knifes, ninja stars, crowbars, baseball bats, maces, and even rent Legendary Weaponry such as a crossbow, rifles, or weapons seen in movies or TV shows. Lines of varies of weapons. A new room was build where you can burn things. Cut, rip, break, hammer, or whatever, and throw it into the damn fire while watching it burn. The guy says a lot of girls come to throw their ex’s stuff or write down letters of their feelings and burn it. Of course with each room you pick, you sign a waiver and must wear the safety gear they provide for you. Some people even pick the outdoor section for their largest items like a f*****g car. A f*****g car. Yet that cost the most and are usual done in groups.

Leading to our room. We gear up. With so many options. Way too good to not do it all. But I still think my choices will be fun. Liv scrunch her nose with a curl lip. And I knew I got her. She won’t say it. But we know it.

I put on her goggles. “Don’t you look so cute.”

“Haha. Do you really think this crap works. I mean I have more fun at home eating my apple than swing a bat around”

“Just break s**t baby. I know you’ve been stress out your mind.” I tower her. “With family, the Wedding, Ceremony, Luna Clara, the meetings. You got to let it out some way. Other than the usual.”

“I can mange my stress fine. Do I look like I need a Rage Room?”

“You look like you’re about to turn into a bat and hang upside for days.” I joke. She hits my leg with the bat. “Just give it a try. If you don’t like it, I’ll cancel the other section and you can go back soaking in your green broth.” Before she can hit me again I move away.

Elizabeth sighs as she takes a few dragging feet. Finding some glass mason jars. She pushes over a few. Shattering them on the ground. She kicks over a monitor. Barely trying.

“Come on baby. I know you’re hiding some deep damn aggression.” Elizabeth waddles her head.

I take my mallet. Looking around I see some small appliances on top of a barrel. I take a stands and swing at it. I go again until it’s in pieces. I turn to my mate with my mallet behind my back.

Her brows high. “Fine then.”

She took her bat and walked around. She points to a 32’ tv. I nod to her. She spins the bat and with one quick hit the screen cracks. She hits it two more times and her face fixated. She mutters something and goes at it again. And this time she takes all her anger out.

With the bond I can feel her agony and frustration as if it’s my own. It creep in me.

I take my foot to knock over the barrel. Taking my mallet to put dents in it. Elizabeth looks at me with a sparkle in her eyes. Shaking her head, I feel a light tingle.

For the next hour we both go at it. Demolish everything in the room. Elizabeth aims for my shattering items. Hearing glass plaster against her weapon to throwing it at the ground. One by one she grins more and more each time. Her emotions raising.

I stay with the other items. Seeing my destruction. Near the end of our first section we begin beating down a drywall until it is no longer there. And my lord. I knew she held back. But she really has been holding back. We work together to leave no item in its perfection. The floor is now covered in our mess.

The timer goes off and she continues bashing an old vhs player. “Elizabeth that’s time.” She ignores me. “Elizabeth?” The guy walks in and I wave for him to wait. I know I’ll be stepping in danger but I go to stop her.

“Égoïste, putain d’égoïste, j’entoure ma vie. Scarifies. The moment I breathe. Again and again. It was you. Pour toi. Them. Everyone else. Irréfléchi, lavage de cerveau. Scarifié, scarifié. Lost of innocents..”(Selfish, f*****g selfish, I surround my life. For you. Thoughtless, brainwashed. Scarified, scarified.) She softly muttered.

“Elizabeth?” I whisper as I grab her elbow before she swings again.

She doesn’t move but breathes. I count each breath she takes. One, two, three, four....ten. I run my hand to her shoulders. Turning her. She gave me a low dove look.

My first intention of coming here was to relief our stress. But now I see it wasn’t just that. Elizabeth had some pain she has been hiding. I knew. She’s been having some distress dreams. Once I wrap my arms around her she calms down. She says she’s fine. Or just tell me it’s some witch thing. I don’t but it but I also didn’t want to push her. But now I see this help.

“We got one more.” I tell her. She lays her head in my chest. I cradle her. I lift her chin as she bares tears. “I love you.”

“I love you boys. I love you so much it’s just..” she gasp. I nod and kiss her soft lips. She eagerly attacks back with her salty tears running down. My nails claw at her low back as I press her more into me.

Undressing. We gear up to our next spot. With rolls of weapons. Elizabeth jumps with excitement now.

“There’s our Little Witch.”

“You go first.” Handing me a little axe.

Lucky for me. I have been practicing throwing weapons since I was kid. So aiming my eye wasn’t hard. Elizabeth goes next. Hitting a spot next to mine.

“No gloating. I’m just starting.” She says. She goes to grab a ninja star. Throwing one it bounces off and hits the floor. I hid my chuckle. “Oh shut up.”

I walk over to her. Grabbing one and placing it in her hand. I wrap myself over her. “Like this.” She complains that she doesn’t need help but I ignore her. “Tilt back. See your target. And..”

The star hits just the second ring. Perfect spot.

“Do you just know how to do everything?” She asked with a little rile tone.

“No. But I adjusted my math. Not too hard.”

She mocks me. “Says the Alpha.”

“Well Ms. Luna. You just need more time with me. I can teach you a few things.” I wink at her.

She smirks at me. Closing our space. Her scent intoxicated me quick. “Only if its private. Alpha. I like it when we’re alone. Maybe even out of sight.” She tease us. Malcolm purrs.

“Whatever helps you the most.” I go in for a kiss. Her lips calls for a taste.

She pulls back. Pushing off my chest. “Loser buys dinner.”

“Challenge accepted.”

Malcolm surface to prove our skills. Weaponry being his favorite. And the threat of tease she gave us calls him out. After a nice game. He allows her to win. Yet she claims she did it all herself.

We hop into the car. Filling with adrenaline and lust booms the air. Turning on the music I turn to see love in her eyes. The joy her smile gives. She reaches over to grab our beard. Digging in as we steal a hungry claim for a kiss. It was like the first time. Full shock of divine.

Gasping for air she leans her head on mine. “Home?”

“One more place.”

Next spot is just over the corner. A cute little shop with a small book hoard.

Elizabeth gets excited but I see her face scrunches. “Any more books and my brain will explode. I’m near my max with spells, witches, wolves, and vampires.”

I walk her in. She gives me her stubborn feet. “Then get some that aren’t about those. One of your fun girl books. You haven’t read those in forever.”

“I’ve been busy.”

“Get as much as you want. When all of this is over. Our life will fall back to normal. We can go back to our late nights cuddle up on the sofa. You read your book while we smell your hair and drink my whiskey.”

She thinks for a bit than caves. Took her just a few minutes to run around reading plots. Meeting me back at the café. She had about 4 books in her hand.

I tilt my cup to take a sip of my coffee. Eager to see what she found. “Just 2 classics and a young adult romance.” I ask what the last book was. She flips it over. “This is for you.”

“Me?”

She grins with a evil grin. “I found an old folktales book. It has something from all around.” She takes a seat and drinks her warm tea I got her. “I know wolves don’t take these stuff serious. But us witches do. We believe in these things. It would be nice to share some of these with you.”

I take the book and scan it. Reading from The tales of One Thousand and One Nights to The Tinderbox. Looking my mate in the eyes. My heart grows big. I feel as if I’d fallen in love with her again.

“You know we do anything for you. I want to know it all.”

For the sake of my love and our future I plan to create for us. I will not complain to any act my Queen ask of me. She has done so much on my sake. I need to start doing the same for her.

“Maybe the kids will be witches. We need to know these stuff.”

“Then we have some studying to do. Don’t we Malcolm.”

Maybe this way, we can spend some more time with Elizabeth. Not just work and the bedroom.
