Authors: Callie Hartwood
“We haven’t Lyanne, to be honest Lisa’s always with James while me and Daniel watch, she’s never tried anything with me or Daniel, but I knew she liked you so I suggested a pack bonding when we got back I hope you don’t mind. I wanted to surprise you with it.”
“No, I don’t mind. I was surprised by it and also by how exciting it was,” she smiled at him.
“Come on let’s get sorted and join the others,” he said as he passed her leggings to her.
They dressed and walked through to the lounge, where the others were sat on the couch. Lisa approached Lyanne and kissed her on the cheek, “That was fun,” she whispered in Lyanne’s ear.
Both Daniel and James smiled at her, she smiled back. They’d accepted her, she may not be a wolf like them but they’d accepted her as she was and they respected that she was with Darian. Daniel had been inside her but this seemed acceptable to Darian so she just went with it, if he was okay then she was okay.
Lyanne understood why they called it bonding as it was about so much more than pure sex, it was about touching and loving and being close to one another. They’d observed her as a threat in the beginning but had grown to see that Darian could love her and still be a good alpha wolf to the pack.
“Fancy running guys?” Lisa said, looking at Darian, Daniel and James.
They all agreed they did, “Are you okay here my sweet Lyanne?” Darian asked her.
“Yes, go I’m fine,” she accepted that there were many things she wouldn’t be able to do with them and running as one of their pack was just one of those things. Lyanne didn’t mind, she understood.
“If you hear anything Lyanne, stay here please I mean it,” Darian said.
“Okay this time I will,” she said giggling at him, and the others laughed, as they didn’t believe her.
They all said their goodbyes to Lyanne and headed out of the door; she sat and contemplated what they’d just done. She didn’t feel bad about it, they’d all been happy and had all enjoyed it so where was the harm. She went into the kitchen to make a drink, and as she was pouring it, she heard the first eerie howl. Lyanne didn’t know if this was Darian and his pack, or the outsider pack.
Another howl rang out and Lyanne ran to the window, she’d heed Darian’s words this time and stay indoors; she didn’t want to put herself or them in jeopardy. More howls filled the air combined with yelps, growls and whimpers. Lyanne could hear all of this from the safety of the cabin.
Should she go outside, no Darian had given her instructions she must follow them now, she disobeyed him last time and endangered them all including herself. No this time she had to stay inside she just had to.
Another loud yelp followed by a loud whimper met Lyanne’s ears, a wolf was meeting some nasty wounds and she just prayed it wasn’t ‘her’ pack. Lyanne had grown fond of them all, and she loved Darian. She felt hopeless and useless just waiting but she couldn’t do anything else, she had to follow Darian’s wishes.
A knock sounded on the cabin’s door, why would Darian or the others knock. Lyanne went to the door, “Who is it?” she asked noticing how shaky her voice sounded.
“Lyanne is that you? It’s Maggie,” the little voice on the other side of the door shouted.
“Maggie? How the, what the, I don’t understand you’re back in Vancouver,” now Lyanne was completely confused.
“Lyanne let me fucking in girl, can’t you hear the fucking wolves,” Maggie was nearly screaming with fear and as Lyanne opened the door, she ran into the cabin.
“Maggie what are you doing here? How did you find this place?”
Lyanne noticed the chipmunk scampering away from Maggie just as the snow hare and the other animals had done from Darian’s pack when they visited the cabin. Lyanne felt uneasy all of a sudden in Maggie’s company.
Maggie turned to face Lyanne and Lyanne recoiled in terror as she saw her friend’s face. Maggie wasn’t human, her features were unrecognizable. She looked savage, wild and not like Maggie at all. She suddenly leapt toward Lyanne and took her down to the ground with ease; Lyanne felt an indescribable crushing sensation in her ribs akin to being squeezed to death by a python. She screamed as Maggie’s wolf-like teeth sank into her shoulder Lyanne was pinned against the ground and couldn’t move.
She glanced into Maggie’s eyes, the same amber colored eyes she’d looked into in the forest that day with Darian, the penny dropped like a stone in water inside Lyanne’s head, Maggie was a wolf. The same wolf she and Darian had confronted. Lyanne stared at her, Maggie was all wolf now and Lyanne just laid underneath her frozen with fear, there was no way out. The wolf raised her head up and opened her mouth wide revealing her massive white and sharp teeth, she dropped her head to take another bite out of Lyanne, Lyanne closed her eyes and waited for the searing pain to hit.
Lyanne heard snarling, even above the noise the wolf was making on top of her. She heard growling and snarling, and she felt the wolf leaving her pinned body. Suddenly she could move, it fucking hurt but she could move.
As she struggled to sit up, she looked toward the door and saw four wolves attacking the outsider wolf, ‘her’ pack were saving her, they were risking their lives to save her. Lyanne felt incredibly humbled, these magnificent animals were fighting to defend her. She heard a mixture between a scream and a whimper and saw the outsider wolf hit the ground flat on its side, it quickly turned back to Maggie and Lyanne couldn’t help but feel sympathy, as she saw her so-called friend lying in blood and ripped to pieces.
Lyanne slowly raised herself to her knees and crawled to Maggie’s side, she was still breathing, still alive. Lyanne lifted her head up and cradled it in her hands, whatever Maggie was Lyanne couldn’t help being the caring person she was. Tears rolled down her smooth cheeks as she whispered through her pain, “Why, Maggie why?”
“I had to get to know you, I’m a beta wolf and my pack wanted this land. The problem was Darian’s pack already had it so the idea was for me to shove you his way and take his attention away from his pack, make them weak and infiltrate them, move in,” Maggie sighed, she could hardly talk as she was growing weaker. Maggie turned to Darian who, like the others was now back in human form, “My alpha, what happened to him?”
“He’s dead. I killed him and your pack ran Maggie, they left you for dead. This is our land, always has been and always will be,” Darian said as he moved toward Lyanne and knelt beside her on the ground next to Maggie, he placed an arm around her shoulders and she leant into his strong blood covered body.
“She’s gone Lyanne, Maggie’s gone,” Lisa said.
Lyanne looked toward Maggie’s crumpled body, she was very still and white with her eyes staring upward.
Darian leant across Lyanne placing his hand gently on Maggie’s eyes and closing them.
“There was no other way Lyanne, she’d have killed you,” James whispered looking at Lyanne.
“I know,” Lyanne said in a quiet voice as the tears spilled from her eyes. Darian helped her up and Daniel moved across to help him.
“Come on our sweet Lyanne, you’re with our pack now, one of us,” said Daniel as they helped her into the lounge with James and Lisa following them. Maggie’s body was left lying where it had fallen.
“Yes one of us living in our land with us,” said Lisa as she sat beside Lyanne on the couch with James beside her and Daniel and Darian standing in front of them.
Just then, they heard a loud chirping noise, as the chipmunk ventured out from his hiding place behind the couch. He sat in the middle of the lounge blinking his wide eyes and staring at everybody.
He’d learnt to trust the pack just as Lyanne had done, and finally she felt as though she truly belonged. She’d found her happy ever after in the snowy wilderness with a man she loved and three of the closest friends she could ever hope to meet.
