The world came to as Johnny awoke. He took a deep breath and felt the slight chill of morning air enter his lungs. The smells and sights and sounds of the woods swirled around him, creating a quilt of sensual expression that Johnny absorbed as he risen from his sleep, he stretched his burgeoning arms, his body rippling with muscle and robust size. His face was rugged with powerful features, and he exuded an air of nature, with sharp glances that declared to the world that he was a predator. To many women, he was a thing of lust and desire. For Johnny, those women were nearly non-existent. He always kept busy with his duty as alpha, he had no time for things as pointless as establishing a mate. A chance to satiate his sexual desires, however, was always welcome. His most recent chance still lay next to where had had slept. He look around and bent down as his bones cracked and broke swifting into a large brown and golden wolf. He never felt more alive and at peace then when he hunted. As he came upon a large buck, he spirted tackling it down and snapping its neck. He carried it back to the rest of the pack. As the pack finished and returned to their daily routine Johnny watched.
The wolf under him was a tall thin dark haired wolf named Frank McMurry looks down at his wife curled up in his lap. Her pale skin always looked so beautiful in the moonlight, the way her ruby red eyes caught the moonlight was so enticing. Her black hair fell in front of her face, Frank brushed it aside and kissed her forehead, June just smiles back. Johnny watches the newlyweds and huffs at the sight of the affection.
June looks over, "Yes puppy?"
Johnny scuffs, "Nothing bloodsucker"
Frank looks at both of them, " Don't even start you two"
June gets up and tells Frank she is going to go look for something to eat. Strolls into Sam's lab. Sam Natal stands up his height towering over her. Sam the tall dark hair scientist with scars all over his body. His evil smile and devilishly dangerous thoughts always put June on edge. "June what do you need?"
June irritated by the fact he knows why she is there and still asks, "Food Samuel."
Sam walks over to the fridge and hands her a few blood bags, "Make these last this time. Now get out I have work to do."
As June walks out after thanking Sam. June thinks to herself why does Johnny hate her so much. Johnny rolls his eyes as he wonders why she must be so beautiful even though he hates her so much. June sighs and keeps walking till she reaches Josh's. Josh Goodell was her best friend's husband and everyone's therapist. June knocks. Josh yells "It's open"
June opens the door and pokes her head in, "Hey Josh I need to talk, well more like just ask you something."
Josh looks at her "Come in and have a sit"
June comes in and sits on the couch, " Well I was wondering why Johnny hates me so much? I mean I know Frank and I broke so many rules falling in love and getting married but why does he hate me so much?"
Josh sighs "That is honestly not something I can answer. If you want to know you need to ask Johnny."
June looks disappointed and gets up "I understand. Thank you though."
"Is there anything else I can help you with."
"Actually yes." She took a deep breath and asked "Johnny treats me like the most vile thing to walk this earth so why do I care so much about him? I mean I know he is alpha but it's not just respect. It is almost like I might me upset if something happens to him."
"June like Frank always says you come off as heartless to protect yourself but you do care about people deeper than you want admit to anyone even yourself."
She knew he wasn't lying but she wasn't ready to tell him that. "Thank you Josh" She got up and started to walk away.
"One more thing call your parents I know you are missing them."
She nods and leaves. She says hey to her best friend, Jess. June goes back home. As she walks she continues thinking wondering what made Johnny so cold, so heartless. Why does he hate her so much? June's thoughts were interrupted when he heard her husband voice. "Huh? What?"
Frank looks worried "I asked how was Sam and Josh. Are you okay?"
June shakes her head "Um yeah. Sorry was in my head and they were good. Sam gave me blood bags and Josh was his normal helpful but not really self."
Frank lets out a small chuckles, "So the usual?" June just glares and watches as Johnny walks back onto the camp. Sitting next to her husband she knew she shouldn't care so much what this alpha thinks but it is their alpha. He controls Frank to an extent. June sighs what did I get myself into last year. Before frank it was just me. Just me against the world. Now I am worried what some damn puppy thinks of me; a really cute rugged. She shakes her head as if trying to shake the thought.
Johnny looks over at June. "What you staring at?"
June screams "Why do you hate me?"
Johnny snarls and snaps back "Your kind killed my parents"
June gets quiet. Oh my god. Vampires did that to his home land. How many? Why? A million thoughts raising through her head. "Johnny I am sorry but that wasn't me. Please stop blaming me."
He looked livid. He grabbed her by the shoulder and squeezed. "But you are in charge of them. You gave up your thrown for my next in line for the pack which broke every damn rule! So I am extremely pissed at you miss princess." He lets go and walked away.
June wanted to go after him and yell. He blames me for everything. He hates everything I do. How could he hate me for something I didn't do. Why should even care? He is just a stupid asshole but damn is he gorgeous. No! I can't think like that. I love Frank. Frank is the one who was always there for me. He was there when my first husband died. She lets out a deep sigh and went and sat down with Frank. "Frank, why didn't you tell me about Johnny's family?"
Frank looked confused. "Where did that come from? I mean I just didn't think it matter." Frank know she had feelings for Johnny it just never made sense to him. Frank and Johnny were completely opposite. Frank was always kind; calm and loving and Johnny was so hot headed and kinda a dick. June could want to be with both of them. He didn't even think it made sense to her because it sure as hell didn't make sense to him.
June looks at him, "He blames me for what happened to him Frank. He thinks it was my fault because I was next in line for the throne to take care of the all the vampires and tossed it aside for you." She looks down realizing it was her fault her and her family was in charge when his family was hurt.
June lays down in her bed remembering what Josh had said and decided to call her parents. She got voicemail and left a message. "Hey mom and dad, I know I left without much explanation. I got married to the wolf and I know you would never approve. I love you and miss you so much. Hope you have a good night" She hung up the phone hoping maybe one day to have a relationship with them again.
