Thane
Maybe licking frosting off of Ayla’s finger wasn’t subtle and probably inappropriate as her acting alpha, but it naturally happened before I could stop myself. If Cyrus find out, I will never hear the end of it. Little wolf was definitely thinking about me last night judging by her bright red cheeks I love seeing, but now I have a shirtless, 20 pack having Cyrus walking with another shirtless, 20 pack having Damon towards Ayla’s side of the car and I find myself wrestling with intense feelings of jealousy. Ronan is on high alert, my eyes flashing gold more times than I can count, causing me to really wrestle him for control, He clearly doesnt want them around little wolf, which is strange since public nudity isn’t a taboo in the shifter world, and at least these two have pants on. Gray sweatpants in fact, leaving nothing to the imagination. Damn it. I should just drive off. I also shouldn’t care.
Well, well, well, what is a babe like you getting chauffeured around by a guy like him? Wouldn’t you rather I give you a ride sweetheart. You can compare notes, see who does it better?” He smugly asks Ayla, but to her credit she just stares down at her hands, fiddling with her finger nails. “Shut the hell up Cyrus. Ayla doesn’t need you perving on her this early in the morning, or at all.” “Relax, I’m teasing her. You know, a joke. Joking. You should lighten up and try it sometime. Maybe pull that stick out of your a…” “I am light.” I growl at him, causing Ayla to grin in between us. “See little wolf, he is growly. Angry. Actually, he pretty much is always in a foul mood unless you are around him. Maybe you should plan on sticking around and save us all from his moods.” He leans into the car, his arm resting on the top of the SUV, dimples on full display while he rubs his hands down his abs. Damn this guy. “Don’t call her that. Her name is Ayla and get your shifter sex hormones away from her window,” “No can do, your excellence. I radiate shifter sex hormones. I have no control over them really. Everywhere I go, they radiate off of me, luring in the females one after another. Or three by three like yesterday.” he winks at Ayla causing her to blush. No. That’s my job. Time to wrap this up.
Damon, how are the new pups looking today?” I quickly change the subject. “They are looking great alpha. Nice form. Little Curt has natural tracking instincts. More so than the others. I think he will be pretty useful along the border in a few years.” “Good. Make sure you do some tracking exercises during the week with him then. Hide some things in the forest and time him. Give me a full report so we can watch his progress and compare.” “Can do alpha.” Damon turns and walks back to the training arena leaving us and Cyrus, who for some reason decides to climb into the back seat of the car. “What do you think you are doing?” “What? I am bored, and I am going with you two. Someone needs to supervise you two and make sure you don’t do anything inappropriate.” Ayla coughs and I quickly turn to the back seat. “You are the king of inappropriate, now get the hell out and go pay our prisoner a visit. Meet me in my office in a couple of hours.” “Yeah, yeah fine. See you later Ayla. Let me know if you feel like learning about my inappropriateness later.” he winks and climbs out of the SUV while I am growling and killing him with my glare. I pull out of the parking and Ayla leans her phone over for me to see that she has typed ‘he really enjoys pushing your buttons.” “Yeah, he does enjoy pushing them, and stay away from his inappropriateness. I’m surprised he hasn’t gotten half the pack pregnant yet.” She just shakes her head and I smile at her. I am really enjoying seeing her lighter, happier.
We drive around the training grounds, into town where Ayla can see all the stores, schools etc. and I fill her in on pack history. I am careful to leave out the depressing memories and grief that I still carry. Maybe, once she is a pack member and acclimated, I can fill her in on the rest of it. Would I tell her about my family if she asks? I’m not sure. We dive down the main street passing stores when Ayla reaches over excitedly and starts tapping my shoulder. “Did you see somewhere you want to stop? Are you sure you’re up for it?” She points to her braid and then shrugs. “Do you want your hair cut Ayla?” She nods “yes” and I quickly mind??ink the shop owner to get her current client wrapped up and to close the store down for little wolf. “Ok, I will take you to get a haircut, but be careful little wolf, I happen to like your beautiful white hair.” She smiles at me and we exit the car. “Good morning alpha. Who do we have here?” Jelena asks. A cute shifter, we went out a few times for drinks, but she is too close of friends with Della and I was quickly cockblocked. Looking at her next to Ayla isn’t even a comparison. Ayla is absolutely gorgeous in every way and Jelena doesn’t even come close to her looks wise.
“Hi, this is Ayla Frost. She is a potential new pack member and would like a haircut.” “Okay I can do that. Your hair is so long and pretty. Do you know how short you want to go?” Ayla looks at me and back at Jelena before taking a seat in the chair in front of the mirror. Jelena starts removing her braid while Ayla stares at herself in the mirror. I hope she sees how strong and beautiful she is when she looks at herself. She starts typing on her phone and holds it up in the air. “You don’t want to be able to pull it?” Jelena asks somewhat confused and then glances over at me. “You want me to cut all of this beautiful hair off? It must have taken you years to grow it this long. In fact, I will probably have to cut your hair standing up if you decide to keep it long.” Doesn’t want to be able to pull it? The question has me confused and pondering what that could mean. I look up at Ayla and I can see anxiety in her eyes and I can smell her lavender scent being over powered with a bitter smell of fear. Ayla starts breathing heavy and is quickly gasping, starting to hyperventilate. She is entering a full??lown panic attack. I jump up and dart over to her chair. “Ayla, listen to me talk to you, it is okay. You are here in the midnight pack with me. You are safe here. Nobody can get you while you are here. Nobody can get to you without going through me and that won’t be happening. Let’s work on slowing your breathing down. In through your nose and out through your mouth. Slow it down for me Ayla, you’re going to black out if you don’t. You can do it. Nobody will place a hand on your head again. Nobody will be touching your hair without your permission EVER again.” I quickly mind??ink Eric, informing him of Ayla’s anxiety and getting a sedative on standby at the clinic just in case.
Ayla starts to nod “yes” to herself and I can tell she is slowing her respirations down. “Whatever evils that are lurking in your mind, taunting you, ridden by me and replaced with memories of happiness little wolf. I swear it.” She looks at me in the mirror, and I can see her relaxing. Her lavender scent getting stronger. “Good girl.” I bend down and place a kiss on the top of her hair. Whether I am kissing her or her hair goodbye, I don’t know, but I am proud will be of her overcoming this fear. Jelena is darting her eyes between myself and Ayla. Confusion and shock across her features. Hopefully, she keeps her mouth shut about this whole incident. I don’t need Della interrogating me about Ayla’s haircut and kiss. “Okay. Are we okay to start over again?” Jelena asks and Ayla nods “yes” and uses her index finger to make an imaginary line across her navel indicating where she would like her hair cut to. “Oh, that is a great choice. Still long and beautiful, but it won’t be as heavy. Let’s get you shampooed up and get started.”
Ayla
“Shut your mouth you stupid cunt. Your parents are dead. Your house burned. Your little sister is strung up in the courtyard. You have nothing left but me and you will listen to me and do what I tell you to do when I tell you to do it or you will wish you did, you omega slut.” the warden yells at me while pulling me around by the back of my hair, dragging me down the hall each time I fall and kicking me to get me to stand back up. They are all dead. My entire family and staff. All because of who I am and my designation. I am not stupid enough to think that this kidnapping is solely because I am an omega. If so, then why wouldn’t they take my sister as well? I am so happy she isn’t here with me. The thought makes me feel guilty, but I find comfort in knowing she is spared from this life. “Stay on your knees and undo my belt, you princess bitch.”
I am ripped from my flashback to the present. I can see Thane leaning over talking to me through my blurry vision, but his words are garbled. I am having a panic attack and I can faintly hear words coming from Thane about my breathing. He must be trying to calm me down and so I do. I focus on his words and my breathing. The room becomes clearer and I feel the weight being lifted from my chest. The sense of dread leaving my stomach. Thane kisses me on top of the head and I try to act like I didn’t even notice, but I am sure he sees my cheeks heating up when I show Jelena where to cut my hair as I catch eyes with him in the mirror. This alpha believes what he says about keeping me safe. I just hope it’s true.
After what seems like hours, I stand up and can’t believe it. I have thick white layered hair that falls below my breasts. Volume for days. I looks amazing and I can’t stop smiling. I never thought that after 10 years I would be free and starting to feel and look like a new omega. Thane must realize what I am thinking because he leans down and whispers “Yes, you are free and beautiful little wolf. When I thought you couldn’t get more so, you surprise me, yet again. I blush and get met with dimples in return.
Thane pays for my haircut and looks around outside, before ushering me to his SUV and belting me in. We drive through town and Thane stops at a restaurant grabbing a to go order and driving us to a park. Unpacking our meal, I am thankful he didn’t push for me to eat in front of other shifters yet. I know I need to, but not just yet. Everything he has shown to me is beautiful. The pack is huge and there is a feeling of rightness being out here. We begin eating, Thane making small talk when I decide to take a step in faith. With a moment of courage, I act before I can talk myself out of it and slide my phone over to Thane. “I really liked everything I saw and learned today. I think I want to become a pack member. A legitimate one.” he reads off of my phone and looks up at me smiling. I would love for you to become a pack member little wolf. I just want to make sure you are really ready and mean it. I would be honored to make you a member of this pack. We usually have a ceremony with new inductions, but we can skip that or wait until you are ready. You decide and let me know.” I smile at him and decide to think it over. A ceremony would be a great way to meet everyone, but overwhelming at the same time. “You also will have some things to say during the ceremony or when obtaining a pack mark from me and you need to be able to verbalize it for the mark to take affect. I didn’t realize that and that causes me to pause eating. “Hey, its okay little wolf. You have plenty of time to think about it. I won’t kick you out, but I am eager to hear your words.” I look up and grin at him and start eating again. Suddenly, multiple questions start flying around my brain and I start typing away at my phone causing him to chuckle. “You are getting good at that little wolf.” he grins flashing those dimples and deep green eyes at me.
Thane takes my phone when I hand it to him and starts reading my question “Will I need to move to a different room when I become a pack member?” Well Ayla, that is a good question. Normally, that suite is reserved for special guests, but you are comfortable there. On one hand you can stay because you’re comfortable, but on the other it appears as though I am giving you preferential treatment since nobody is allowed to stay on my floor that isn’t a guest. I think I am leaning towards staying and if later down the road, you decide you want to have a roommate, you can relocate in the pack house to another floor.” “Where do mated shifters stay?” for some reason, him reading that question makes me slightly nauseous. Yes, I have a mate out there somewhere, but he may not be in this pack. Or what if he is and then I can’t see Thane anymore and have to treat him as an Alpha only? What if Thane finds his mate and she wants me moved from my rooms? The endless questions have me shifting in my seat and getting nervous. He clears his throat, looking at me for a while, likely wondering where my question is leading before answering “Mated shifters have houses in town. Once shifters meet their mate, they go into heat and we can t have a wolf in heat inside a building full of unmated shifters. It isn t safe. I nod my head “yes” and finish eating. “Will I move out of the pack house when I find my mate?” he reads my next question with a little surprise on his face. Clearing his throat again, he seems slightly nervous while he answers. “Well, I haven’t given it too much thought lately, but yes I will probably build a house for my mate in the forest between the town and pack house so I can be a quick run away from both if needed. I am hoping to find my mate soon Ayla, being almost 30, there is some pressure and I would rather have my perfect hali than a chosen mate, but I know that if I take a chosen mate, she will be the most beautiful, honest, strong and as close to perfect as a chosen mate can be I smile at him, my smile probably not reaching my eyes as I think about losing my connection to Thaue.
He starts to clean up our lunch mess when I notice him looking around the pack, towards to woods. I catch him a few times scenting the air before he turns to me stating “Thank you for having lunch with me little wolf and coming with me to look around the pack. I had a good time this morning. I have some meetings to attend and a few things to finish up, so I think we should be headed back. He gets up and extends his hand, I slide my tiny palm into his outstretched hand and let him lead me back to the SUV and belt me into the car. I am definitely worn out and full. A nap being the only thing on my agenda as soon as I return to my recess. I catch him looking around again before flashing me his dimples. I wonder what he is sensing or who he is looking for?
