WILLIAM
William had been close -- dangerously so -- to giving a reply of "yes" to Gideon's question. He did, in fact, want to see the newcomer shoot Alaric for as little good as it would do any of them. He didn't get to see that, but he got to see something almost as satisfying when Ashley-May...
WILLIAM
William's heart wrenched at Alaric's jab.
That was your job.
The matter-of-fact statement made Will want to swing at the man – angel, whatever – but he held himself back. Not only because Skye was currently occupying his arms, but because he knew that Alaric was speaking truthfully…...
WILLIAM
William had silently observed Mackenzie's movements about the room in the early morning light -- what little of it there was. His eyes were closed and the hunter made little noise when moving, but he didn't need sight or hearing to know where she was. He could feel her in such close...

Cabrera's room early morning after the fire

Collab Post with @NanLia and @Bullyboy Squad
Nari watched, unable to look away, as Cabrera pinned Xander to the bed. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she reached behind herself, grasping for Haewon and Minnie, trying to...
ADELAIDE
Adelaide could feel the tension emanating from Morgan as they stood across from one another, packing up their food and dishes. It was as if the air between them was charged, but in truth she couldn't blame the young wolf entirely for the atmosphere. The sensation Morgan was giving off...
LINCOLN
Outside The Fighting Pit
“Behind you!”
The warning rang out loud and clear. Xander spun around on his heel, nearly toppling over as he struggled to regain his balance. The Biter was already lunging: all pale flesh and gnashing teeth, milky eyes locked on their next target: him. He...
...sound of death incarnate.
Stumbling forms filled the end of the hall… and with blood-caked mouths and raspy gurgles, they shuffled toward him.
***
Xander staggered, his white sneakers squeaking underfoot as he passed through the maintenance corridor and into the adjoining hall beyond. He...

Wesley stood, awkwardly, in the back corner of the infirmary as one of the medics approached and began tending to Haewon. He pursed his lips as he watched blood steadily soak the white gauze pad that was pressed firmly against her wounded...

Wesley's lip curled and he let out a grunt at Minnie's remark. Put a gun in her hand and suddenly she was calling the shots.
Definitely her daddy's girl. The rueful thought wormed his way through his brain, unbidden.
He didn't have the...

For a moment, Wes wasn't sure if he had overplayed his hand or not. If these two were bitten, they might decide to just start shooting now and take their chances. Luckily, however, that didn't seem to be the case. Wes watched carefully as...

Shit.
Wes shouldn't have been surprised that two people -- scared, hurt, running for their lives -- would try and call his bluff. What did surprise him was the voice of the one doing it. She was a kid. He squinted at her and her wounded...

"Move your ass! I catch anyone hanging back at the rear, you won't have to worry about the fucking Biters because I'll fucking kill you myself," Wes barked as he shoved the group of Enforcers down the corridor toward the direction of the...
ADELAIDE
Adelaide had expected a few different emotions from Morgan when she mentioned the bowling alley. Excitement, jubilation -- even apprehension about a new experience. She was prepared for any of those. But the quick sensation she got from the young wolf -- a brief pulse, accompanied by...
WILLIAM
William could feel the happiness and the contentment radiating from Mackenzie like a soft wave that enveloped him. It wasn't merely a partner's intuition, either. It was their link, their bond -- whatever the angels had called it when they saw fit to tether the two of them to one...
Vicente "Vic" Alcaraz
Goodneighbor - Market
Vicente pursed his lips at Mic's questioning. He genuinely did not know what to tell the man and he he had neither the time nor the inclination to lie to him in order to settle the near-panic in his words. Eliminating his Brothers from the list of...
ADELAIDE
Adelaide cocked her head at Morgan as she remarked that there were better things to be doing than laying around in the woods... things she believed humans typically did on dates. Addy flushed at the comment, the implication surprising her coming from the young wolf. Few could accuse...
WILLIAM
William nodded at Mackenzie's remark. He certainly wouldn't complain about having the Inn more or less to themselves for the time being. He ran a hand through her auburn hair with a smile, already mentally savoring the flavor of the lasagna she was preparing. He didn't need food in the...
Vicente "Vic" Alcaraz
Goodneighbor - Market
Vicente had been happy to tune out the sniper – Ava – as she offhandedly mentioned that she’d had plans for a rendezvous that night which had far more to do with pleasure than business… at least until she suddenly suggested that he and Mic instead...
Vicente "Vic" Alcaraz
Goodneighbor - Market
Vicente’s jaw tightened so quickly and so hard that he thought his teeth might crack as they ground against one another. The woman knew. She knew who he was, what he was. What he represented. He had been in the Wastes long enough to know that this...
ADELAIDE
Adelaide nodded as Morgan remarked that Brody would want to be leaving soon. She could feel the anxious energy from the Pack Guardian from here. It was hard to miss. She didn't want to contribute to it by insisting on sticking around, no matter how peaceful and enjoyable their present...
