Lions Among Wolves (under construction and revise)

They Came With Fire

I sped off running and searching however looking for a scent in this case was useless who ever this intruder was they were wonderful at masking their scent. The trees were over head and something told me to look above. Looking through the trees I saw the outline of someones slim body. Automatically I opened my mouth to call for reinforcements, "Ah, shh shh shh that's quite loud enough sweetheart." I felt the cool sting of a dagger to my throat.

I exposed my hands to my attacker and tuned around slowly to meet his cold eyes. His short brown hair complemented his brown eyes and his sly smile seemed so icy. I felt a light stab of caution of this man but my thoughts were taken back when I saw a few more bodies emerge from the focus of trees to the west. A woman and at least 3 men I cocked a smile my scent essence had been receding and reforming since I had been in the kitchen.

My captor leaned into me inhaleing nose deep in my hair skin touching my face, "You smell... I cant put my hand in it." I chucked "On it." He pulled back and gave a questioning look, "On what?"

I looked up directly into his proud eyes, "The phrase you are looking for is 'I can't put my hand on it' not in it."  A few "oohs" escaped the shadows beyond him and I couldn't hide my confidence.

"Wyatt give me a blind fold and call for the King."  I made a slight step to the right to gain better balance and his dagger drew blood against my skin. "Wow you're a jumpy one aren't you?"

"Silence woman. Do not move. Just a few minutes ago you smelt of dog--wolf. . and now you smell human. It would be a mistake to think I will not harm you--I do not trust you, temptress."

"Temptress? Yeah okay. Well I hear you loud and clear perv." A feminine laugh danced though the air. A growl festered in his chest and then my vision was stolen from me as my arms were then taken to one another and bound.

I could hear much better I found then that there were 5 among us being made to walk to. . .well I couldn't tell as they had picked me up and spun me and shook me a bit to throw me off but if I was correct in assuming they were not a bunch of idiots they were headed strait for their leader and after.. my home.

 My hair was beginning to feel itchy around my ears and my steps were heavy I was feeling fatigued probably from helping Kid earlier. I was finally beginning to feel the fatigue from it. "Hey, we don't have long to go woman hurry." I felt a heavy hand push me forward and another hand grab my hands and pull me forward. I tripped and fell to my knees sweat dripping from my crown as I tried to pull large amounts of oxygen to my lungs as fast as I could.

"Please..Someone please pull my hair up." I heard a few people scoff at me as though they thought I was faking it but then a pair of soft hands pull my curly black hair back in to a high ponytail. "There you go."She said softly. I recovered quickly and continued to walk.

It was but a few minutes before we came to a stop and I was told to sit and wait. I gave myself one minute to gather myself... it was enough I felt the hush of the wind and a pull on my mind.

My father was trying to communicate with me though mental merging. I had to stop shielding my scent but once again my thoughts were interrupted by a masculine voice that tasted of. . home? Love...comfort? I do not know but it was intoxicating. "So this is the woman? Really? She smells like a human!"

"Sir, she smelt of wolf when we came across her and somehow she has masked her scent." That was my cue I open my shields suddenly letting a loud crowed of voices. ALI!!!!

Ali please its MOM PLEASE ANSWER US.

"ALI WHERE ARE YOU!" My scent flowed out before closing my shields to a crack.

I'm here guys...I can't hear if you all are talking all at once. Listen they will be bring me home be waiting in the front be non-aggressive...Trust me.

I shut my shields pretty tight but I didn't close them. I could no longer hear them but I'm sure they could feel my hearts intensity..maybe even my emotions. A lot of gasps rose around me and I felt someones nose trailing my temple, "Sir." Said Mr. Perv.

I felt his hands as they roughly gripped my hair turning my head to the left.  A different nose inspected me but it took its time trailing down my temple, my jaw, and resting on my neck. My heart beat hiked up and I could taste fear in my mouth.

I could feel who I believed to be the leader as my fear excited him; he smiled. I felt his tongue as it slide against my artery.  I shook myself a little and the hand holding me gripped tighter and the pain distracted me from my fear and I had control once again.

It was a tense moment but suddenly the air had become breathable again and I found the leader had lost some interest in me. "Mmm I see what you mean...she smells of wolf again..Well it seems we have the perfect bargaining chip as I really don't want to have to kill anyone else. Didn't mean or want to kill him either."

"Oh why stop now I mean you already killed Neko." My voice dripped with sacasm. I heard a chuckle.

"I think I like this girl." I smirked as I felt my reserves of energy start to wain again. I frowned as I was guided to stand. I didn't know if I had it in me to walk but I did. As I walked when I felt the pressure poke into my back. Every step was heavy but none the less I made it.

We were a few yards from my home I could feel it the ground was softer the air slightly warmer with the heat of wolves.

"I see a house down there!"

"Looks like there are people waiting for us beyond the clearing, my King."

"Bring me the girl."

Mr. Perv's fingers dug into my skin  as he brought me into the Kings presence. I could feel the heat coming off his body as he breathed. It was interesting and intimidating to say the least. "Hold her steady yeah." He gripped me still.

"For the record shes being forced to do this since I can not and I would rather not do this but its for appearances." He sounded rather uncomfortable and unhappy.

"Im not sure I--" My face stung and I tasted a bit of blood on my lips, "Oh, damn, a warning woulda been nice. Damn lady your hands may be soft but they feel like fucking bony rocks."

"Sorry bout that." She said. I noddded. I understood all too well growing up as a wolf--an alpha female at that.

"Good now we are ready. Right?" I asked before Mr. Perv added in, "I think we should add a small cosmetic cut something to make her look tough and like we mean business."

"My boyfriend would have your head on a pike." I snapped at him. How dare he talk about me like I wasnt here. "Besides thats over kill." Someone shouted. 

"Just make her look dirty and ravaged we dont have time for this." Ol' Soft hands ripped at my shirt and put earth to my clothes and face. "Oh great, Iiked these pajamas.. come on!"

"One more bare with us." She grabbed at my hair and tossed it around. "Now we are ready." That was the last thing she said before I stood ready to face what was next.
