Creatures of the Night ((Closed))

[Aspy Ink]

Asher had just come in the door, and suddenly he felt unbearable pain. He screamed in pain and fell to his hands and knees, crying out."Ember!!"He knew whatever was causing this intense pain, involved Ember. He need to see her. His bond with her clearly told him something was wrong, and he could feel the knife as though it had been stabbed into him.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli had been up in the room with alex. He'd just set her water down when he heard Asher scream out. His eyes widened and he looked to Alex before rushing out of the room to go see what was wrong. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Alex's eyes widened and she got up shortly after Nicoli, walking as quickly as she could down to Asher.


Asher was on the floor, writhing in pain and clutching his sternum."Something's wrong!"He looked as Nicoli came down."Ember....pain......Seth...."The pain was too much for him to form a proper sentence, but he managed to get those words out, before crying out again.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli frowned deeply and then moved to Asher's side. "Look out Alex." He says gently as he helped Asher to the couch. He couldn't leave right now, but he wanted to and was afraid he'd need to. Something was horribly wrong. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Alex frowned and came down the rest of the stairs, and over to the couch."I think it's the mate bond, Nic....something bad has probably happened to Emberlynn. And Seth must be involved in it."


Asher dug his nails into Nicoli's wrist as squirmed and writhed in pain."Damnit! It feels like I've been stabbed!"He ground out, still writhing as his grip tightened on Nicoli's wrists.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli winced a little but didn't move, he would be here for Asher as needed and he didn't mind. He looked to Alex worriedly. "Are you able to contact Jason? I think you should ask him to come. Tell him what's going on." He says. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

"Yeah. All of us can speak through our mind link to the rest of our pack."She said, before contacting Jason, who arrived five or so minutes later.


Asher was whimpering now."I need...to get to Ember....."He muttered weakly, releasing his hold on Nic's wrists as he pulled at his own hair, growling in frustration. It was obviously hurting him.


Jason entered the cabin quickly, and went straight over to Asher."This is their mate bond. He originally felt the pain his mate had, and then, he'll keep being in this much pain until he can get to Emberlynn. Something is being done to their bond, Nicoli. And it could be the ritual. He needs to get to Ember before the ritual is completed if that is what it is."He stated, pulling Asher's hands away from his face and pinning them to his side."If it gets bad enough, and he stays separated for much longer, he will shift, and force his way to wherever Emberlynn is. It doesn't matter that she's on your clan land. He will kill anybody who gets in his way."

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli looked from asher to Jason. "I don't know where she is. I haven't been allowed to see her either. I know this is horrible to say but is there a way to contain him until I can find her?" He says. "Jason if he does that it will start a war." He adds seriously. He didn't want to hold Asher back but they needed to for everyone's sakes. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

"I'll stay with him until you find her. You have to bring her to him immediately. I think somebody is performing the ritual to break the bond. It will be nothing but bad news for the both of them if you can't get her. I didn't expect Asher to feel like this since he hasn't marked her yet, but apparently, their bond is much stronger than I had originally thought."He said with a frown. He was now straddling Asher as he held him down. He was beginning to get violent.


Alex but her lip."You have to get her Nicoli....if Seth breaks the bond..."She said quietly. She could almost guarantee that it was Seth who was doing this.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli looked between them and then nodded. "Do not let him leave this house. Alex is feel better if you weren't around him when he gets more violent." He says. He then moved to leave to try to find Ember. 


Seth waited the ten minutes then pulled the dagger. He'd found a shortcut to this ritual since he knew he wouldn't have much time. He took the same knife and created a small brand behind Ember's ear. Just after he did she began to come back. Breathing deeply as she sat up and looked around, dazed. With the brand she would not recognize Asher even if she saw him, it would give Seth time to complete the second part of the ritual later. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Jason continued to restrain Asher, but it was getting more difficult for him. He wasn't sure what was going on, but it wasn't good. He glanced over to Alex."Go stay with Kyle until Asher calms down."He ordered her.


Alex didn't want to stay with Kyle, but she could not disobey an Alpha's order, so, she walked over to Kyle's slowly.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli hesitated a moment. "Jason I do not think she should be around Kyle. He's been...inappropriate with her." He says, half way out. He shrugged since it was Jason's choice and then left. 


Ember looked to Seth, confused. "W-where am I?" She asks. Seth smiled. 


"It's alright my love, you just took a spill. You haven't been eating much recently." He says. Ember nodded, in a daze, and got to her feet with his help. 


"Oh," was all she said as he brought her to a secure room with food for her.

 

[Aspy Ink]

"Kyle will be fine taking of her. Aside from Asher he's one of the few wolves I trust to take care of her."He stated simply, before watching as Alex left the cabin and walked next door to where Kyle lived.


Asher could tell that something was horribly wrong."Hurry Nicoli! Talk to your King and Queen! They know the risk of the ritual and they might be able to stop Seth before he gets too far."Jason spoke these words, after Asher told him through mind link what to say.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli nodded and booked it to Clan land. He needed to find Ember. Except he couldn't. Not even the Queen and King knew what was going on. Nicoli explained what was happening and then went in search of her. 


Ember ate and then watched Seth curiously. From what she could gather he was...her mate perhaps? It felt odd but then everything felt odd right now. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Asher was getting worse, and was basically fighting against Jason with all his strength and trying to swing at him. Jason just hoped they would find Ember soon, or he wouldn't be able to control Asher for much longer. The mate bond is stronger than any order an Alpha could give.

 

[FangAndOzy]

When Nicoli finally found Ember it was only because he found Seth first. "Where is she?!" He growled, slamming Seth into a wall. Seth raised an eyebrow and then led Nicoli to where she was. "Asher needs to see her Seth, he's losing it otherwise. If he doesn't see her then he'll come here and kill everyone in his way." He adds. Seth smirked a little and then shrugged. 


"She can go. She has to come back here later but she can go for now." He says. Nicoli was uncertain but nodded as Seth led him to Ember. 


When Nicoli reached her she still seemed dazed. She gave him a weak smile and didn't struggle as he gently grabbed her arm to bring her with him. She stumbled after him as he led her off clan land and to the house where Asher was. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

By the time Nicoli had returned to the house, Jason's black wolf, and Asher's russet wolf, were currently having it out. Jason was just barely able to keep him under control as he fought. They both had wounds, and though Jason's had mostly healed, Asher's wounds would take a while longer. However, Asher could sense his mate nearby, and he became even more vicious towards Hason.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Ember was using a Nicoli for support and she just watched Asher and Jason blankly. Then she looked to Nicoli. "Why are we here?" She asks quietly. 


"I need you to help calm asher." Nicoli says. She looked to him and then the two wolves. 


"Why?" 


"Just because." Nicoli says, holding her close. "I need you to walk over and say his name, pretend he is...if your mate." Nicoli says. 


"But Seth is my mate." She says. Nicoli clenched his jaw. 


"He'll understand. Asher is our friend remember? He needs help." He says. Ember just looked to him but then nodded as she slowly stepped forward. 


"Asher?" She says like Nicoli instructs. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Asher's attention turned to Emberlynn as his russet colored head shot her direction. He shoved Jason off, causing him to whine in pain as he was slammed against the wall. Asher stood, shook out his fur, and immediately shifted, walking straight over to Ember he pulled her into him and kissed roughly, desperately as he nipped her bottom lip. He was out of control and he needed her, now.


Jason shifted and winced as he felt the pain searing through his side, e watched Asher carefully."I don't know what he'll do, so be careful. He won't hurt her but I'm afraid if you try to touch her, he might try and rip your head off."

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli frowned as he watched and then moved over to Jason. "We have a slight problem. Seth didn't complete the full ritual yet. He killed her and brought her back but then branded her. She won't recognize him as her mate. But the fix will be easier than if he'd completed it." He says to Jason, helping him to his feet. 


Ember didnt feel anything as he kissed her. Which was better than if Seth had duly changed her. She pushed back from him, gently pulling away. "Stop." She says. She was like a doll, pretty and life like but not a lot of life in her eyes. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Jason sighed heavily."I figured that much. He's not going to let bet out of his sight after this. She'll feel like a prisoner until we fix this. And he'll kill Seth if he comes near Emberlynn."


Asher frowned as Ember pushed him away, but he pushed her up against the wall, kissing and leaving a hickey over the spot he planned to mark her. And with his wolf still raging, he planned on marking her right now. Whether she remembered him or not."I'm your mate. And I'm going to make you mine. Officially."He stated simply.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Nicoli watched them uncertainly, this was going to be very bad and he didn't know what to do. He looked to Jason. "We'll need to figure something out. He can't mark her until I undo it." He says. 


Ember started to panic, the first real emotion she'd shown yet. "S-stop...!" She exclaims, trying to push away from him. But she was too weak to do anything. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Jason sighed."We'll need to keep her here. Asher won't let her out of his sight again. And I do not want Seth to be successful in the second part of the ritual."He said with a heavy sigh."Asher stop. You can't mark her yet. We have to undo the ritual that was performed on her, she doesn't recognize you."


Asher gave a soft kiss to her neck before she told him to stop again. He frowned and pulled away, but did not release her from his hold."Nicoli. Fix it. How fast can you fix it?"He questioned as he looked at him.

 

[FangAndOzy]

Ember was looking up at Asher wide eyed, pressing herself against the wall as hard as she could to try to be away from him. Then she looked to Nicoli, her eyes widening more. "U-undo it?" She asks fearfully. In her mind Seth was her mate. She didn't want that undone. 


Nicoli shrugged. "I don't know." He says gently, moving towards them. "I'm going to take her to her room Asher, and then I'll figure it out. It might be best if you wait here with Jason." He says gently. 

 

[Aspy Ink]

Jason frowned as Ember spoke so fearfully."Emberlynn. Seth is not your mate. He performed a ritual that would break your mate bond between you And Asher. You don't recognize him as your mate, but around him, you will feel different. Tune in to your feeling, and you will see that Asher makes you feel better than Seth does. Asher makes you feel complete. And Nicoli is going to make it so that you will remember your mate bond with him."


Asher narrowed his eyes at him."I fucking swear to god if you take her off clan land, I will hunt you down and murder you. I don't care what Alexandria says."He said dangerously as he looked at him.
