Fated Or Doomed

Escape Night

Travis

Turning on my heels quick. Catching my balance. I push off the ground and twist my hips. Mason swings his fist but I move just in time. Coming behind him, I grab his collar to slam him down. You hear a hard thump. He’s quick and gets up. Shaking his head to refocus. We pace back in to our stands. Glaring at one another. We circle as we await for our opponent’s next move. I crack my neck and he launches at me. We fight back and froth. Getting a few hits in.

Railing up more. I hold Mason’s right arm back. He fights me. I declare for him to tap out but he denies. I pull down as he groans in pain. Wiggling from my grip his arm tenses in my hand. I look down to see the form of his muscles enlarging a bit. Small patch of hair peeks through. A snarl breaks through and he jerks his arm back with his head back. My nose burns from the hit. Dropping a blood or two out. I hold the bridge of my nose. Waving him down.

“What! No more already!” He chuckles at me.

I control my breathing as my head sprang up slowly. You can see him slowly bringing down his wolf. Oliver had stepped in to help Mason win his sparing this time.

“You cheated!” I groan.

He chuckles at me. “Not even. I got you fair game man.”

“We said no wolves. I know you cheated Oliver. Just like when we were kids.” I snicker at him.

“Not even. We just work better as a team.”

Raising my brow. I check my nose to ensure it wasn’t bleeding anymore. With Oliver’s full force. I’m lucky it wasn’t broken.

“Next time. I’ll let them fight it out.” I claim.

“You know Oliver can win a race with Malcolm any time.” He said proudly.

Malcolm growl and demands a race. But I was too tired as we speak. We have been sparing for the last three and half hours. We needed to rest up.

As we start to childishly shove each other through our tiredness. A needing feeling hits my belly. I glance over the pack. The desire strengthening more inside. Mason nudges at me, asking what’s up.

“Nothing.” I say.

I don’t know what it is but I had to find Elizabeth. It was just a must feeling inside me. At this moment I wish I can mind link her. Normally mates can after marking. But with me being an Alpha, she has to sword in the pack before we can. So we had to wait until her Luna Ceremony. Which I can’t wait for. All I’ve been thinking about was getting all of this out the way. I can’t with hold the excitement anymore.

“The time is almost here.” Malcolm howls in pleasure. Wanting to be more closer to our mate. It was one of the last pieces.

“I’m gonna head in man. You good?” I ask Mason.

Nodding his head. I pat his back and headed in to the pack house. The pulsing feeling increase as I walk through the house. Sniffing for a hint of her. I know she must be in just a few places here. And my nose leads me back to my study.

I turn the nob to being welcome in her angelic smell. Roasted hazel nut over took us. It was better than fresh cookies out the oven. It was a home smell that I crave. All I wanted was to be next to her. But she has been so busy. Occupying herself with so much crap. I don’t know how she does it without taking a break. Even I try taking a break from all the Alpha stuff and business. I usually go for a workout and it helps..

Yet Elizabeth. She won’t take a break. Any free time she has she will goes off to do anything else. Most nights I go to bed alone. Malcolm and I are sadden with her. Lost without her warmth. I wake up in the middle of the night to find her cuddle up in our arms. Kissing her head. She worms into me more and I sigh in relief that she’s mine.

I wish she would take it easy on herself. I just don’t know what to do anymore. So I gave her space. I check in without bothering her. My hovering will piss her off. And even though she fine, I still worry.

I search the room and find it to be empty. She wasn’t here. I growl in the confusion. I headed to her spell chamber. And again she was not there. My nose fizz up from the smell. It had seem she worked in here today. I closed the door and shifted my eyes around.

“Where the hell can she..” and my eyes landed to the only other door left in here. I slap myself for not guessing it.

I knock first. No answer. I enter the room to find her asleep on the bed. The room was fill with mess all around. Books all over. Papers on the walls. And the laptop was open near her. On the bedside table there was a large cup that is now empty. And the trash underneath was fill to the top.

“She finally burned herself out.” Malcolm purr at the sight of our sleepy mate.

We walked in to clear off the bed. Closing the laptop and putting anything else on the floor. Her head fell over the edge as she hugs a small book in her arms. I remove the book and she doesn’t move but snores. I chuckle at her cuteness. I pick up our mate and settle her in the bed. I move my way in with her. Spooning her from the back. Covering us up. I rest in the warmth with her. Dreaming of the day a pup or two was cuddle up along side of us both.

“Sleep tight baby.” I kiss her before closing my eyes. Taking in a dream state of my own.

Not long, I woke up to finding Elizabeth tracing my body with her fingers. I see a small smile on her face as she palms my mark.

“Mhh Elizabeth.”

She wiggle into us. We move to our side as we hold her waist into place. She was so warm to the touch. My member grew against her. Needing to be in her.

“When did you come to find me? I didn’t even know I’d fell asleep.”

I cup her face. Looking into her sweet green eyes made for just me. I glance to the clock to see the time. Realizing we only slept for 2 hours.

“Not long.” Caressing her face. “I just needed to be with you.”

“You know I had a dream of you.” She said with hint of lust in her voice.

“What was I doing? In say dream?” With raising eyebrows.

She raise her hand to lay on my shoulder. Tracing it down and up. My body rose in heat with her every touch.

“I dreamed of you boys at my side. For everything to come. You were there when I needed you. You came when I called your name. You basically saved me. And in reality. You have. Over and over again.”

Looking up, our eyes locked. “Always baby. It’s just us until Goddess herself comes for us. And we will not go down without a fight.” I lean in to kiss her. And she leans in more. Deepening the kiss.

“Thank you for always being there. Even when i’m asleep. You still come for me. You boys are my saviors.” We gave her one more kiss. Putting all our love into it. I couldn’t get enough of her lips.

She cuddles up into me more. Relaxing to her fullness. It felt like forever since we both had time to just relax in each others arms. It felt a bit lonely. Without her.

“We need our mate. To be close and warm. To love and cherish.” Malcolm whines.

Rubbing the small of her back. I took in the moment. But soon I realize it will end. She will get up and out of our embrace. Run off and continue her duties. And rather I stay or not. That dreadful feeling will hit again. I still needed to be close to my mate’s warmth. I don’t want to let go yet. Just not yet.

“Are your stuff pack for tomorrow?” I asked.

“Yes. Are you not ready? We have to leave by 9.” Say chirps.

“I’m ready. I just figure we go somewhere away from here tonight. Somewhere safe and enclosed.” I plan something quick.

“Travis. We have the Elders meeting tomorrow at Luminis coven’s ground. We can’t go off anywhere right now.” She hurries to sit up. I keep my arms around her. Determine to keep her here.

“Just for tonight. You will love it. It’s off the land and it cuts off about a hour to the coven.” She sharpen her eyes at me. Questioning my motive. “We will still leave in the morning and be at the coven just in time.”

I brought my hand down to graze her leg. And she squeeze to my touch as she arches into me. And I brought her close and up to my chest. Saddling me. She moans. Again I rub the dimples on her back.

“Fine. Just no tricks.” I claim for none. “Just let me pack some books.” Rushing out the bed.

“No books. Let’s leave now. I’ll have our bags in the car.” Getting ready to mind link a delta.

“I have to study. The Wolves Councils is just behind.” She snarls at us and her forehead winkles to it peck.

I got up and headed to her. Towering over our mate. I grab her by her arms. Smoothing her nervous. “The books will stay. I’ll quiz you. Just be with me tonight at this special place.” Hoping she takes a real break this time. We needed her as much as she needs us.

She scoffs heavily. Yet she hides a giddy smile. By her reaction I knew we had her. We clean up in the mean times and headed to the front. Our car was ready as we made it out. I inform Beta and Gamma of our trip. They stand by at our early leave. Wishing us well for tomorrow’s meeting. Waving bye we headed out.

Elizabeth close her eyes and relax as I drove us to the special location. When in all honesty. Wasn’t the only one we have. But it was time I tell her. All packs needed at least one if not more. I made sure we had one special to accommodate her needs, just in case.

After a good 45 minute drive. I pull into a rocky road. Making Elizabeth hold onto the side for the next 3 minutes. As the road flattens out. We came up to a cabin home. I park up and turn the car off.

Elizabeth ducks down to look at our night stay. We both got out the car. I begin to grab our stuff as she waits by the door. Searching our surroundings.

“What is this?” She asked.

Having her open the door. We walked in to a well kept cabin. It was a small 2 bedroom, one bath. A small kitchen that barely had room for a dinning table. The living room was cut off by the kitchen when extend to make room for the dinning space. Still wasn’t enough. Regardless the place was still nicely build. This was mainly ours.

“This is one of our safe houses.” I say.

“Safe houses? Only us? But what about the others. Gamma, Mason? The pack members?” I see her questioning her mind.

I place the bags down by the stairs. “This one is just ours. Everyone has one for their own safety. They all know where to go if needed. And besides. If needed. Gamma and Beta can join, there are two floors?” I raise a brow.

“I.I um.” She turns to look around.

I meet her. Wrapping my arms around our mate. “This place has a lot of good things. I brought you here to relax before tomorrow. And for one day if needed. You know where to go with Gamma.”

She kisses my hand. “Are we expecting to stay for some reason more? Is there something you boys aren’t telling me?”

“No baby.” Shaking my head innocently. “This was out of good intention.” I turn her around. Her eyes swelling as she thinks of reasons why we came here. “Just be with me tonight. Let everything go. Just us baby. Okay.”

She sighs as I run my thumb down her jaw. And she nods. We head on to unpack and show Elizabeth around the cabin. Wasn’t anything big. It was just a regular cabin. Living room, dinner, kitchen, porch out back, and any places to rest our heads. Once we were done. I ask Elizabeth to change for a small adventure. I grab her bikini and told her to wear it underneath, she scowl and I say nothing but walk out. Leaving her to wonder where we go.

“Okay. I’m ready boys.” My jaw drops at her display. Wearing just her black bikini top. Pair with shear beige shorts. She had put on her mid rise brown boots to protect her feet.

“Wow. Beautiful baby. Just beautiful.” I grab a backpack and we headed out into the woods. There was a trail that leads to one of the most amazing spots ever. So I just had to follow it.

After an hour and fifteen minute walk. Elizabeth was tired and wanted to rest. But we were almost close. So we push.

“Can’t we just stop for a few minutes. Witches and vampires don’t hike like you wolves.” She whines.

“Not yet.”

Elizabeth leans against a tree and rest her arms down. Giving up all motivation. “I’m done.” She sigh.

“Come on baby. It’s not far. I swear.” I chuckle.

She shakes her head. Letting her body fall to the ground. I roll my eyes. Keeping my cool with my stubborn little witch. I do the only thing I can think of.

“Argh, no! Boys stop it!”

Hitting our back as we yank her over our shoulder and carry her the rest of the trail. After no more than 8 minutes up. I was able to hear the water falling down a cliff and the smell sent clarity to me.

“You can look up now.”

She gravel behind me. Digging her elbows into my back. I slowly let her down. She pushes me as she stomps heavily.

“Will you turn and look.” I say.

Squinting her eyes at us. She fought the idea. I know she wanted to make me suffer. But I know how to win this game. A soft growl bubbles up as we kiss her. Her body calms and leans in. Parting her lips as they move with mine. Her taste was heaven. I kiss her jaw and make a trail down her neck. Grabbing my hips. She moans for more. And I knew we had won.

Liv

“Turn around baby.” Pulling back from my lips. My mouth stays open as my eyes flutter. I bite down hard. Wanting more of him.

He grabs my shoulders and direct my new view. And my jaw has drop to the ground.

“How the..boys. This is beautiful. Oh my God.”

I hear him chuckle behind me. But I do not pay any attention to it. My body frozen as I take in this amazing creation from Earth Goddess. Using her gift to bind with nature herself. And bending, staking, carving, and filling this beauty. It was, it was beautiful. Just pure source of beauty.

Stepping out the woods. We are met in an eye of sunshine. The sun’s heat hits directly over the spot. Making the clear water glistens. Rocks and boulders surround the entrance. Leading to the shallow part. You can see where its depth begins. And the water coats to blue. Looking up is a rock, red, brown cliff. Spotting the part of it all. The middle creeps to a large portion that sticks out. As water seeps out from many cracks. This particular part had gushes of water. Creating the most wonderful waterfall that I have ever seen. Literally the only one.

And I swear. If you close your eyes and open up your ears. You can hear the cascade of the water hitting the flat lake. The smell that sweeps off. It was s****l. It made my whole inside lighten up with joy and desire. All I wanted at this moment was to feel it. I wanted to lay my body inside if it.

“Well! Are you gonna stand there all day? Or are you gonna join us?” Travis shouted.

Taking my attention. I smile at my mate. Watching him undress to his swim trunks. And slowly and God like walked into the water. I follow him. Undressing myself. I lay my clothes on a large boulder where he had put all our stuff on. Travis dunks his head into the water. And I swim my smaller figure towards him.

I softly run my hands from the middle of his back. Up to his shoulders. He hmms to my touch before turning to face me. He looks at me so deep. The water around us warms up. How can the water be so warm?

“Wet your hair. It feels good doesn’t it?” He grabs full hand spoons of water. Wetting my head all over. Water dripping to my face. He then coats it as well making my body tingling in it.

“How did you find this?” I asked.

“I found the waterfall. No one knows of it. Once my realtor showed me. I bought the cabin near by. Knowing if one day you needed to come. You have this to run to too.” He explain.

“It’s beautiful. Thank you.” I caress his face. Seeing the water drip down his brown eyes. I felt so blissful for him as his eyes take me to wonderland.

We take in the moment. Looking up into the sky that soon falls down. Setting into a orange, pink sky.

“How do you feel my little witch?”

I brought my eyes down to him. Smiling like a child. “Good. Really good. And you?”

“Better now that we have you all to ourself.” He smirk.

He swims closer to me. Meeting inches away. The thought of our first time at the lake at Black Harvest hits hard.

“You boys always have me. I know I’ve been busy. But in good reason.”

He quickly splash water at me. “Hey!” Splashing me again. “Boys!”

Clearing the water off my face. I’m met with glowing eyes. Malcolm scowls at me hard. Making my body sink in. He shakes his head at me. And my head pops up. I feel guilt for my time away. I haven’t much spend time with them like I wanted.

“You have been avoiding us. Why won’t you let us in?” Says with painful eyes.

My eyes widen in flutters. Guilt hits again. “I’m not avoiding you. I have just been..”

“I’m not trying to fight. I just miss you. I need you more than just a few hours. And most of that time we are asleep.” He says.

“Malcolm you two have been avoiding me too. I know you’re not trying to but you have. I don’t want to go to bed alone. Or eat alone or with anyone besides you. I have been working around it so i’m not alone.” I say.

When he sigh loudly. He closed his eyes. Bringing Travis back to me. His brown eyes shine under the color sky’s light with a hint of gold in them. It was a beautiful dark honey gold.

“I’ve been doing the same. I don’t want to get in your way. I won’t do it anymore.” He admits. And I believe him. He means what he says. Like always.

“So will I. I’m sorry.”

His eyes looks me down. Darting me. My back straighten out. “I kinda need you to prove it. How do I know you won’t go back to hiding?”

I part my lips to speak but close to rethink. Taking a second he tries to turn. Thinking I won’t. So I spoke quick. “Let’s make a deal.”

Turning back he c***s his head. “Continue.”

“No matter what. We make it back to bed before the other falls asleep. We don’t have to talk if we don’t want to. But we make it back to bed at the end of the day. I’ll come back. If you come back.” I say. My stomach twist with flutters.

He smiles. Rolling his eyes at me. “Deal.”

He leans in to kiss me and our hearts beat at the same time. Seeing the sky falling down more.

I want to prove to them I mean what I say. I want to prove it now. I want to leave here with a memory we both can keep. I don’t know what came over me but my body felt a change in it. Wanting, needing, craving them. It started to get hard to breathe.

Noticing my draft off. He stares at me. I feel arouse. Like over the top arouse. And he sense it. “Elizabeth?”

He says my name with all lust. It drove me more. Like I’ll snap if I don’t give in.

I have to give in.
