Joining the Alpha's Pack

Chapter 14

It had been a couple of weeks since his first feeding and Peter was still exhilarated. Scott and Derek had left again. They were going to Italy this time. They'd gotten word of another hell hound and were gone to bring him or her back here. They'd left him to protect Beacon Hills. For the better part of six years, Peter had tried to kill Scott. Had been jealous of him even that Scott could inspire such loyalty. But he had to give it to him, Scott made a great alpha and Peter was grudgingly proud to be a part of his pack. Not for the first time, Peter's thoughts drifted to their resident vampire, Ara. She was so unexpected and for her to have saved the life of a wolf and raise him as her own was nothing short of awe inspiring considering if a grown wolf had seen her they probably would have just killed her. He admired her too. Her heart, her drive to protect even if the one she was protecting wasn't a vampire and now he was like her. Or at least half vampire. She'd told him that he would have to feed a couple of times a month but other than that his diet wouldn't change. What she failed to tell him was that he now had the strength and speed of a vampire as well. It had shocked him at first when he punched the heavy bag, only to watch as it flew across the room, spilling the sand all over the floor. " Holy s**t! Derek is going to kill me." he'd said and then laughed. Thinking about Ara made Peter want to see her again and so he walked out of the apartment and got in his car.

A group of ten men circled around the large estate. They were armed to the teeth. They had hollow point silver bullets filled with yellow wolfsbane. They were determined to get this wolf. She was different from the rest. She was faster, stronger and Monroe wanted her so they could experiment on her.  The man leading them gave the signal or them to split up. Five went around the front and five went around back. Both groups at once, broke the windows on the doors and unlocked them, gaining access to the house. Ara was cleaning Wyatt's bedroom when she heard a noise on the main floor. It was nighttime and Wyatt was at Melissa's with a few of the other new pack members. Liam was teaching them how to fight. Silently Ara walked out of Wyatt's room, sticking to the shadows as she went to investigate. She hadn’t had time to install an alarm system and she had been preoccupied so she hadn’t even known someone moving around the house. She inhaled deeply and smiled. ' Humans' she thought, shaking her head. Ara, using her vampire abilities, jumped from the second floor landing to the first floor without a sound. Rage pulsed through her. Why couldn't Monroe just leave them all alone. There were five men walking around with night vision goggles and semi-automatic guns. " Come on, she has to be here somewhere. Monroe said this wolf was different from the rest. Said she could heal or something and she wants the b***h alive!" the team leader whispered over his com. Ara's eyes glowed silver in the darkness and she grabbed the first guy she could get her hands on. She spun him around causing him to yell out. " Monroe's first mistake was assuming I was a wolf" she said as she sank her fangs deep. She drained him before dropping his lifeless husk to the floor. She then disappeared into the shadows again. This went on a couple more times. However when she was drinking from the third guy, the fourth one shot her back full of silver and Ara cried out in pain.

Peter had just turned onto Ara’s street when he heard the gunshots and Ara cry out. He stepped on the gas, speeding to her house. He saw the broken window in the front door and the door hanging open. He burst through the door just as the last two hunters were dragging Ara's bloody body across the floor. The smell of her blood was strong and there was so much of it. With a snarl, Peter rushed to the guy and yanked him away from Ara. He threw him across the room, making the guy crash through the wall. The other guy backed away. He’d heard about Peter and didn’t want to fight him. Peter stalked towards him and snapped the guy's neck like a twig. He picked Ara up and she cried out, tears running out of the corner of her eyes. " Peter" she whispered. " Blood, I need blood" she said and he carried her over to the unconscious man that he’d thrown across the room. Ara ripped his coat open and savagely ripped into the guy's neck. As she drank, her body pushed the silver bullets out of her back. When she was done, she dropped the body. " You're here?" she said surprised and Peter scoffed. " Don't be stupid of course I'm here" he said. Ara and Peter stared at each other for a heated moment before they met in a passionate kiss. Peter kissed Ara because she nearly died and he almost lost her and Ara kissed Peter because she'd been dying to kiss him again, she craved him. Peter lifted Ara and carried her upstairs to her room. " I want you Ara. I want you to be mine" he said his eyes glowing blue and silver. Ara cried. She had never felt like this before for anyone. She had never believed in destiny until she moved here with Scott's pack and saw how well Wyatt adjusted. She felt like this was where they needed to be. She ran her fingers over Peter's face. Her eyes glowed silver back at him. " I want you to Peter. I want to be yours." she whispered.
