Jump

Still standing in the alleyway with Janice. Thinking over, how I should approach this. I know, I'm the last person he wants to talk to, but I need to set this plan in motion.

I contact Arlo through my mental sire link. "Bring me my phone" A few minutes pass. I assume he is trying to fight my call. Arlo walks towards us. "Took your time" Janice snips at him. Nothing, not a word. No witty comeback. Oh my Arlo. He hands me my phone and walks back to the club. "I will make it right. I promise you" I leave the message in his mind but get nothing back.

"Your cheeks are flushed?" Well no wonder. If you could see the text messages. The scripts the lycan king writes about what he wants to do to me. You would be too. Oh I see what she means now. I'm actually blushing, that's very human of me.

I quickly type 'come and get it' then take a selfie of myself in front on the club and send it to him. He's opened it. 3 dots. Then nothing. His highness has left me on read. Maybe it's the white hair, maybe he doesn't like the new/old look. Insecurity, another human trait. Janice looks down at the screen "Maybe he's busy" She holds her hands out, palms facing upwards. "Maybe Arlo scared him off".

I can't go back to that club. "Janice can you book a room for us all?" She nods, takes my phone and starts typing away. Then I hear it. The gutteral throttle of a motorbike approaching.

The bike pulls up in front of me. He takes his helmet off. Bad medicine is playing in my head again. I walk towards him and he doesn't get off. He gestures to the back of his bike. "Not so fast, we need to talk about this" I say placing my hands on his chest. I hear a a slight snarl "Get on". I went to argue but I see Thorne walking out the club.

I jump on the back of the lycan kings bike. Janice throws me my phone. "I will let you know where we are" Thorne's eyes lock on me and he charges towards us. I slap the lycans back "GO!" and we take off.

I look over my shoulder and see Thorne on our heels, Moving so fast, he is a blur. "Hold on tight, when I say jump, do it and climb on my back when I shift. My beasts scent is different from mine and is strong enough to mask yours"

I tighten my hold on him. We speed up, weaving through vehicles. Thorne is still gaining on us. The bike is now on a bridge. "JUMP!" He rides through the railings and we jump off the bike.

He transforms into his beast and I land on his back. He grabs the edge of the bridge. Dangling above the high drop down to the water. His beast launches and we soar in the air, landing on the woodland next to the river.

His beast continues leaping through the woods. I'm actually obsessed with his fur. It looks jaggy and rough but is so soft. Certain we've lost Thorne. He slows the pace.

I start to panic, when I see the sun is starting to rise. I know I am no longer immune to it's affects. Although, it's still slightly dark. I start to heat up. My skin is irritated like sunburn. "Move faster, the sun is rising" He bounds further on. The sun is getting higher and I'm starting to feel pain. I'm weak too, like it's absorbing my essence. Just as my skin litrally starts to smoke, we crash through a door.

He changes back, shutting the curtains in a hurry. Then throwing on some Jeans. That was close. I never had the chance to adjust, when a large golden wolf tackles me and pins me on the ground. Trying to rip my throat out.

I'm holding the golden wolfs jaws, using all my strength to keep it away from my neck. "CHANGE BACK NOW!" The lycan king booms. His tone is authortive and I'm not going to lie, it's kind of hot. The golden wolf moves off of me tail between it's legs, whimpering. A horrible crunching and cracking noise echos around the entranceway. I've seen wolves shift but this is taking longer than usual.

A very naked, very pregnant blonde woman is standing in front of the lycan king. Her head hangs low in submission."WHAT WERE YOU THINKING LEAH!!??" She goes to take his hand but he backs away from her "You shouldn't shift, you know the risks. You could kill the baby" He waves over a man. "Take her to the doctor. Update me on the baby" The man places a blanket over her and walks her out of the house. Quickly, I jump out of the way of a sun beam shining through the door.

He points to a door and walks through, holding it open for me. I walk in, It's an office. I turn around when I hear the door slam shut. His hand grips my throat and he slams me down on the large wooden desk.

"Tell me why I should trust your advances now, usurper? The timing is rather convenient." A growl rumbles deep in his chest. His grip slightly tightens and he positions himself in between my legs. Heaving over me, with his large bare god like chest. His grey eyes piercing into mine.

"I'm turning human. I can choose to be a vampire again but I want to be yours, to live like you. Claim me" My hand glides up his arm and around his grip on my neck. Using my speed, I remove his hand and flip him over. His back lands on the desk and I'm straddling him. I wrap my hand around his neck.

"I can't claim you" I remove myself from him. He sits up and pulls me back. "You were adamant your beast wants to claim me on our last meeting" His hand traces my jaw and his thumb on my lips "Yes, my beast. You have no power anymore. I was drawn to the idea of a hybrid child. Not you, but I wouldn't mind a little fun"

I punch him full force in the face. I was willing to sacrifice myself to this dog. To get rid of Thorne once and for all. I see red. I punch him over and over. He's not fighting back? "Why are you not defending yourself?" He laughs. "My beast is too fond of you. He won't let me" I can still work with this. "Bring him forth" He punches the wall "NO!"

I decided to take the gentle approach, by the looks of his very pregnant Luna Queen. I bet he loves the docile, submissive type. "I'm sorry, I'm scared" I say placing my hand on him. His eyes soften. Bingo.

"It's ok, I can't imagine what it must be like, to have your throne taken. Then find out your turning human. I don't know what I'd do without my beast. He is part of me. I assume the same of your vampirism?"

Putty in my hands. I nod, my head hanging low. He let's out a pleasing growl and takes me in his arms. He gently strokes my hair and back. I don't think I've been held like this before. I've got to be strong. I can't get emotional, these human instances are messing me up

"I will keep you safe" He says softly. I bury my face in his chest. "Thank you so much for your help, I've never felt so weak" He breaks away and takes my hand. I will turn you, if that's what you truly want? I cannot claim you, It will cause Leah excruciating pain and I will not risk the life of my child."

My fingers intertwine with his. "I understand, children are precious. I didn't know that would happen when I asked. I just haven't been able to get you off of my mind since we met. Can you forgive me?"

He brings me back in to an embrace. I should be an actress. I meant what I said about the child though. That new life is more important than my plans.

"That's ok, I don't expect you to know about my kind, in that way. It's a sacred bond to us. Unbreakable normally, I don't understand why I'm drawn to you."
