Upon entering the wide ballroom space, the first thing that catches my eye is the buffet spread in the middle of the room with all sorts of food laid out ranging from mains to deserts, and most importantly in the middle alcohol as the main beverage. I quickly walk over assessing the assortments of wines and liquor, finding my poison to make sure it will keep the night entertaining enough.
Looking out off one of the massive windows I can see the stars shimmering brightly above and the gentle sway of trees as an invisible wind softy pushing through them. In the reflection I catch the eyes of non-other than Mike. Turning around ii see that he is accompanied with Darius which luckily, he haven’t spotted me in the crowd, and I can quickly make my escape out of any situations.
Sadly, he sees me in the act and now I am stuck trying to stop them from approaching me by going down one of the hallways, which attracts my attention and body being guided to one of the rooms where a tall figure pulls me in. A green dress whips around with the person pinning me against the wall while the door slowly shuts behind us. Looking up I’m met with bright green eyes that have a slight glow to them, I realise why my body was guided to this room because I am met with my boss Ensley.
“I hope you’re not running away from this fabulous ball, or more likely your mate,” Her soft voice spoke quietly as she let me move away from the wall and instead leaning against it herself.
“Of course, not all I wanted to do was report to you how the mission went as you asked,” She waved her hand for me to continue and to het the boring details out of the way so she could get on with anything else she pleased with, knowing she didn’t specifically care how it went as long as it was done.
“As per usual it went according to plan the targets are dead with no witnesses, but there was a slight problem when returning back to the warehouse and upon finding them, but it was quickly taken care of,” I saw a spark light up in her eyes as her lips pulled up in a small smirk.
“Oh, and what inconvenience might have that been,”
“They knew I was going after them and found the bug that I planted as well as Darius tried to stop me from completing this mission and saying that I didn’t need to kill them, which for that I put him in his place and finished this mission successfully,” I grumbled out as I didn’t want her to think I could be easily stopped from doing her bidding.
“Very well, you have yet again proven yourself and done an outstanding job, but if he continues to disturb my plans, I will need Mike to deal with this although that may be a tad difficult but that does not matter at the moment,” She turns around and I hear fabric moving as she gathers something from her bag that lays near the door.
“Now because it’s been so long since I’ve seen you and have had you at my side, we need to strengthen the pact again,” I watch as she faces me and I see that she has rolled up one of her cardigans sleeves exposing her wrist and forearm, knowing what I need to do but before I do anything she hands me a thick blue liquid that I skull down. Trying to ignore the bitter taste as it slowly slides down my throat. Dropping the bottle my instincts take over and I go to her and push her up against the wall as a growl ripples out of my mouth. She smiles down at me moving so her arm is out and pressed against the wall. Pinning her with one hand next to her free hand and my other hand holding her hand to the wall to keep it in place, she moves her free hand to my head as she pats my hair encouraging me.
In an instant I latch my fangs into her wrist tearing the skin open letting her warm blood flo into my mouth as I swallow it down with each gulp. I feel the bond to her get stronger as my wolf moves in to take some control and allows the pact to fully take control of the both of us and in the process binding ourselves to her fully. She mutters some words next to my ear that are lost in the haze, looking I see her head tilt closer to my ear and her eyes grow brighter. A low growl rumbles in my throat and she moves her face away while smiling and slightly chuckling. Her head tilts towards the door as if she’s expecting someone to walk in or maybe she is just hearing something outside of the room. All I can hear is her calm heartbeat.
Suddenly the door opens revealing Darius as he walks in, his mouth opens to say something but closes once he takes in what’s happening with a confused expression. Growling at him, he doesn’t do anything to leave so I tear my fangs from her arm pushing off of the wall stalking over to him getting ready to pounce but my body stopped with a small command from Ensley. Still snarling at him I try and find a way around the command to attack him, but with no way to attack I stand still snarling.
“Well, you must be Darius the alpha that I’ve been hearing so much about you,” he glances at me, and Ensley turns to me, “Oh don’t mind her she’s still having affects from re-strengthening the pact, shell be back to normal in a few minutes,”
“That’s pretty normal for her when she’s around me but the green-red tint in her eyes is new,” He says while moving closer to me trying to study me while I’m stuck which is rather annoying since I still want to rake him into the ground.
“What do I owe the pleasure of meeting you today, was it that you couldn’t resist staying away from my precious rose,” She watches as he moves away and looks at her trying to figure out what she is probably wanting, which would be to ask more questions.
“For starters I was wondering where she was escaping to and why I was getting warned I shouldn’t go after her by Mike, but it seems you’re not much of a threat Fae,” She laughed at him then looked to me as I stand still in the centre of the room quietly watching everything unfold. She smiled and sauntered over to me to stand behind me and snaked her arms over my shoulders and wrapped them around my neck loosely, in a form of a hug.
“Interesting you think that as you seem to have enough trouble winning against my little rose hmmm, if I were to let her lose who would I have to heal more, but as I am not interested in that just yet, I want to know what questions you have for me,” She puts her chin on top of my head resting her head on mine waiting for him. Why does she have to use me as a body rest when she fully well knows that I don’t like hugs especially as I can’t move to get away.
“To be honest I would say I would be fine and easily win, but I want to know what kind of pact you have with her as it seems stronger than a simple wolf pact or anything I have seen before?”
“It is a blood oath, but as she is a werewolf it works a little different than a normal Fae blood oath, it works the same where if I wanted to release her from its control completely, I would have to say some old Fae words and bleed it from both of us,”
“What do you mean it works different from a Fae blood oath,”
“Putting It simply, she gave herself to me like other Fae do and have done but with her the strength of it lessens over time but not completely the same with once she completes a task of sorts, and to strengthen the bond I give her a drink and my blood.” “Now that’s sorted out I think it’s time I showed you how it works.” His eyes widen in caution and surprise, probably thinking that she will do something to him, but I know she wouldn’t because that would cause to much trouble for her. Instead, she lifted her hold over me off as she moved away from me letting me control my body and instead commanded me to pin him on the floor.
He backed away into a fighting stance as I did the same shortly after circling each other I run at him full force hoping that I would surprise him, sadly he saw it coming. He moved to the side where I skidded into the door side on, using the rebound to lunge at him and catch onto his left arm. Pushing my hand onto his chest to push him closer to the middle of the room.
A small growl emits from his lips as he uses my dress to his advantage by using his knee to push me away backwards. I tumble backwards having to roll so I didn’t fall fully on my back. With my claws out I look up at him deciding that I would try and strike his face to distract him enough to sweep his legs out from underneath him. It seems to work as he falls and instantly my body surges forward to pin his hands to his side making sure he couldn’t move.
Ensley seems happy with that and is about to say something but when I look up at her I feel my body and world tilt as I am tossed to the side as a heavy weight falls on top of my torso and hands wrap around my wrists. Looking up Darius is looking down at me with his teeth bared. Growling back, I try to move but due to his heavier stature I couldn’t push him off, looking up at Ensley to see if she would do anything about this situation.
I keep struggling to fulfill the command to pin him instead of me, but I couldn’t. I thought over all the ways I could get him to release me and only one way came to my mind, and I am not happy about it. Deciding it is the only way and only option I have left I quickly lean up and surprise him by kissing him briefly, which softened his grip. Finally, being able to free my hands I push on his chest and turn us over, this time successfully pinning him to the ground.
“Alright your now free.” As soon as she said those words, I look up at her to see her leaving the room. Finally having full control of my body, I move off of Darius and wipe my lips with the back of my sleeve acting like a child. I head out of the door as quickly as I can and walk back into the ball where I make a quick b-line for the exit ignoring Mike when he tries to stop and talk to me.
