She was fragile like a bombTwo people. Walking together, seeming to be mates. That or an affair, based on the way they glance nervously around. Oh, yeah, definitely an affair. The woman just pulled out her phone, took a glance at it, then hid it back in her bra. Why do people do that? Isn't that so uncomfortable? Anyway, she clearly doesn't want this man to see whatever is on that small device. If it was meant to be such a secret, why would she communicate on her phone? That's so easy to track. Idiot.
All of this is observed from her place in the tallest tree she could find, where she has been since five this morning. It was a surprise for the rogues to be invited here and though they were assured she would be safe, who can trust an alpha? So, there she sits, in her fortress of branches, waiting. Will they attempt to sneak it and assassinate her? No, that's the wrong word. Assassination implies she would be someone of importance, which she clearly isn't. She hasn't been important in years.
A scent catches her off guard, making her almost fall out of her hiding place. Her soulmate. But his scent has changed somehow? What used to be cigarette smoke and booze now is....roses? Earth and roses? Wow, he has changed. Ass. She had heard from another rogue that he had a chosen mate and kids now, so what's he doing here? Especially if he knew that she would be here. Does he want to torture her more? Because it won't work. Her heart has turned to steel over the last eight years. He will not break her again. Not that he did in the first place. She did that to herself.
Love is a weakness, she knows that now. He was hers. Sybil should've never expected anything more out of him, as he was always stronger than her. He knew that the pack needed one of them. It couldn't break them both, so he chose. Well, he chose wrong. Because now she's back and stronger than ever. Strong enough to make her own choices. And this time, she'll look him in the eye. She'll make him the weak one. He'll see what happened to her and he'll break, just as she did.
Today is a great day, she thinks as she climbs down the tree and his scent gets stronger. Today is a day for revenge.
"I'll never leave you" He whispers, staring her directly in her eyes and wrapping his arm around her waist, trapping her against him. A blush settles itself over her cheeks as she buries her head in his chest to attempt to hide it. However, based on the chuckle rumbling from his chest, he saw. She can't help but wrap her arms around him, relishing in the moment. This is it. This is what love feels like.
If only Mariam could find that, outside of her trashy romance novels with a guy who looks like Fabio on the cover. Every morning and every night she reads one of these, in order to set herself up for a good day. Yes, that means that she has lived vicariously through hundreds of these books. It's something that her family makes fun of her often for, but she doesn't mind. She can hide in the arms of a man crafted from some middle-aged cat lady's imagination. It was a retreat from the real world for her, and at this point she's not sure how she'd survive without the comforting pages she's come to rely on.
Something is different today though. The image in her head is accompanied by a smell, a heavenly one. Wait, a smell? Mariam has thought about this day for long enough that she knows exactly what that means. Her mate! Someone even better than in the story, someone meant for her. Oh god, she's holding a fucking romance novel. The first time she's going to meet her soulmate is minutes after fantasizing about a different guy. Way to go Mari.
Quickly, she decides to ditch her book, throwing it through the window of the house she'd been staying in. Well, it's a good thing that was open, seeing as she didn't even check. "OW!" She hears a yell from inside. Akeno. Well, at least she hit someone who deserves it. Shaking off her thoughts, Mari leaves her bench to follow the scent of black tea, leather, and pine.
Today is a great day. Today's a day for love.
nine lives
irritatedakeno zhangAkeno had been dreaming peacefully of Zac Efron when something flies into the living room, hitting him directly in the head. He wakes with a start from his place on the couch, as there weren't enough beds for all the pack members accompanying them. They were supposed to be in a bigger house, where Akeno would share a room with his brother Tao. However, when Tao went missing, they were downgraded. Almost as if they were being punished for losing another pack member. The twins were meant to sleep on the pullout, but Akeno decided that as the youngest, he should sleep on the couch. Stupid responsibility. When did he get so old?
Inspecting whatever it was that hit him in the head, Akeno realizes that it was one of Mari's stupid romance novels. "Littering bitch" He mutters to himself, purposefully ignoring the fact that she threw it inside, not outside. He attempts to throw it back at her, further disproving his point about littering, but quickly realizes that she's gone and the window he thought was open is, in fact, closed. So, the crappy young adult smut just bounces off the glass. Throwing himself back onto the couch will a groan, he begins his daily existential crisis about failure and his lack of a future. Typical teen.
After about five minutes, he finally forces himself to get up, grab some clothes, and go to the bathroom to get changed. His style was incredibly influenced by his friend Addy, most likely because she used to be the one to dress him as a child. This meant that although he had a strong status, he's been ignored by most pack members. Though, that's not to say he isn't respected. Almost all of his pack feels protective of the boy, due to his parents sacrifice. But, if he is being honest, he'd rather just have his parents.
But today's not a day for grieving. Today is a day for fixing shit the adults can't.coded by reveriee.
