Page 9 of Fallen Wolf
“Hey Ada, right?” I turned and saw it was Callum Jones, he was best friends with Ranger. I didn't like him though, I always felt he was rude and made me feel uncomfortable. But I was alone waiting for Lexi to come back, so I nodded at him.
“Are you friends with Alexis?” I mentally sighed, I was starting to think I was the third wheel in my friendship with Lexi. I nodded to him, and kind of wished I wasn't here anymore. So far this party had been a total let down. It was nothing like I had heard it was. As long as I avoided people like Olivia, then I could make it out of this party in one piece.
“Hey, so is Alexis dating Rafferty?” he prodded, I shrugged I didn't know. I didn't even see Raff today at all, and she never mentioned him. Or dating him. But maybe because of the whole “cant date your foster brother,” thing
“I think you'll have to ask her.” I muttered in reply and I walked away towards the pool. It was huge and when I bent down and ran my fingers through the water I realized that it was heated. That was how everyone was swimming in there and not freezing.
“Hi, is this your first time here?” I nodded to the big tall shadow standing beside me.
“Yup, my first time here.” I didn't look at him, I didn’t even know who it was. I just needed to get away. Where was Lexi? As if on cue, she appeared with our red cups in hand. She handed me mine, as Ranger came up from behind her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
Oh dear, why did I think this party would be awesome? Maybe it normally was, but Lexi was new and still a novelty. As she walked off towards the food table, I started wandering around, pretending that I belonged but feeling so out of place.
It didn't take long before everyone was talking and some were even laughing about the new girl freaking out over seeing a wolf. I knew that was Lexi, so I rushed to find her. Fuck, I didn't think to warn her there were so many wolves in these woods. But I've never been to Kiba before, well not like in this part of Kiba. When I found her she looked all shook up, the guys were all just standing around staring at her. Some were smiling and laughing.Assholes.
“Let's go home.” I took her by her arm to lead her away to the car. But I stopped short when Maverick Lovell stood right in front of us.
“You shouldn't have done that. That's on you. This is your last warning from me.Leave.” Wow, I had never really heard him speak before but that scared me, what was his issue with Lexi?
When his eyes started glowing weirdly it reminded me of Huxley and how his eyes did the same the other day. Maverick didn't say anything else before he stormed off.
“Fuck you, asshole.” Lexi called out after him then let out a deep breath.
I was still in shock over the whole encounter, “What did you do to piss off Maverick Lovell? I've never seen him angry. Like ever, and I've known him since the first grade.”
She didn't answer me, we just walked to my car in silence. Chills ran down my spine at the sounds of wolves howling behind us.

Saint
That fucking scum rogue Rafferty,he was on Kiba land and I didn't give a shit if he was living here. He wasn't invited to the party and then he moved in on Lexi in his wolf form. I smiled when Ranger called for us to run him out of our lands. When Ranger said run, I knew he really meant hunt.
Fuck yeah, any excuse to shift and fight and I was there . I watched Miss Blondie lead Lexi away, I didn’t linger long, I ran straight into the woods and stripped. The flash of pain as I dropped to four paws was quick. I loved the pain, it was a rush to know that I had the power to become a wolf. It fired me up, especially on a hunt.
I could smell him and I led the charge. Ranger, his older brother Nash. Elijah and Austin all followed me as I chased the little red Wolf. I smiled, I could tell he was not used to the terrain here. He was slowing down trying to navigate his way out, but he couldn't escape us. When I saw his tail, my wolf picked up speed. Nash howled in warning, and I watched as the little red Wolf stumbled. It was all I needed to gain speed on him.
He was fast, but he was no match for Pack Kiba. We grew up in these woods, knew them like the back of our hands. We lived and breathed these trees, the sounds, the scents. My claws extended out to the air as I flew towards his flank. As my claws dug into his flesh, he yelped and fell to the side. His head snapped back fast and he caught my ear between his teeth and tore it.
The violent rush as the other wolves descended flooded my system, my wolf's instincts took over as three of us attacked the rogue wolf. Ranger who normally was our hot head stayed back and watched. When Ranger called for us to pull back, I wasn’t sure I was hearing this right. The other two did but when I didn’t, Nash used his Alpha tone to stop me. He was to be the next Alpha of pack Kiba and my wolf could do nothing but bow down to his order.
Rafferty was still breathing, it took a lot to kill a shifter, and that wasn't what we were trying to do. We were just letting him know who was boss and to stay away from the girl. We left him, and I could hear him limping away. But when we got back to the party, I decided I wasn’t in the mood to stay. So, I moved through the woods until I got back home.
I was covered in blood, but most of my wounds were already healed as I walked in through the back door. My parents were in their bedroom. Luckily, they had a device in there that stops other shifters from hearing them, because I have heard them… more times than I could count. And nothing was worse than hearing your parents fucking. I went straight inside and to my room where I had my own private shower.
I stood under the hot water for as long as I could and I let the emotions of the night wash over me. It was as if, when I was shifted there was another person controlling my wolf. Even though I knew it was wrong and that I shouldn’t have done what I did tonight, it was hard to stop. Especially when it came to fighting. Anger and the hatred I had, that I kept deep within me spilled over and I knew I would regret my decision to join in the moment I shifted. Why I wanted to bring pain and shame on someone else, I didn’t know. And I hated myself for being like this… I wasn’t always like this. I used to be happy… on the inside at least. I smiled and did the dance everyone expected but inside I was torn up. I was a mess. I was just a better actor than I thought I was, no one ever questioned me, except for tonight, when I didn’t stop. I didn’t see Rafferty… I sawthem.
I ran a hand down my face and shook off the bad thoughts and feelings. I wasn’t going to travel down that road tonight. I had to shake it off before I spiralled.
I was security for the pack, but I wasn't an enforcer. Not in the same way Nash and Elijah were. And tomorrow my Alpha, he would have my hide for what we did.
I closed my eyes and ran my hands down my face. I dropped them to my chest as I leaned back against the cold tiles, my eyes never opening. I couldn’t get that girls’ scent out of my head; it was messing with my wolf. I knew she wasn’t my mate, she only smelled like she was. I ran my hand down lower, the water bouncing off my abs as I inched my fingers closer to my cock. I was hard. I had been hoping to score tonight, but the girls were the same ones I had been with before. The only fresh ones were Lexi and Ada. Then the night went sideways. Now all I wanted to do was stroke one out and pass out. It had been a long day.
My finger wrapped around my length and I gave myself a few slow, lazy strokes. I could feel my orgasm so close, I was that worked up. I tried to think of a sexy curvy woman, of her body… her tight rosebud nipples, her pouty lips, her blonde hair held tight in my fist as she looked up at me with those big blue— My balls tightened and I groaned out as my orgasm rushed up on me fast. I took a few deep breaths before my eyes flew open, I looked down at my cock, at the mess I made washing down the drain, did I just…No. No, I didn’t just come thinking about little Miss Blondie. I closed my eyes again and I saw her face, her smile and those lips…fuck.
Why the fuck was I think about chatty, Miss Blondie.Ada Stephens.
