SCORNED

"Did he just accepted the offer?" I whispered to myself. 

I walked into the house and closed the back door in a daze after the reality hit that Conri has accepted the offer. Why did he agree so quickly? I expected him to put up a fight. What was his intention? My mind was in turmoil as I walked to the couch. 

There were blankets placed on the side of the couch and my trekking back was next to it. Slouching on the couch for a while, Ilistened in to any movement in his room before preparing the bedding, laying down, and closed my eyes to sleep.

Being a light sleeper had its perks as early hours as I heard the bedroom door open early hours of the morning. I stilled my body, a skill I had learned over the years in the military. I felt his feet padding on the wooden floor as he came to hover over me. He never moved an inch as he stood there, rooted on the spot. A minute later, he turned around and walked to the back glass door, pushed it open, and closed it.

I opened my eyes and pushed my wolf forward with my acute night vision. Conri shifted with his clothes on into a wolf. How the fuck did he do that? 

"He is no ordinary wolf," Freki's voice boasted in my mind. 

"You knew it?" I demanded. 

"Of course. Do you think I would allow you to be here without knowing who he was?" 

"Freki!!!" I yelled at my wolf.

"He is more than an alpha. His blood smells like a Lycanthrope Immortal. "Freki stated, 

"You mean he is like us?" I exclaimed

"Something far more than us. Ambrosius Lupine," Freki confirmed. 

"You mean that his bloodline is far superior to the Freki's? Ambrosius Lupine is the Vidar bloodline of the grandson of the Odin God. "

"Mhh," 

"Shit" cursed,

"Why would you curse out loud when this is a good thing for us? "Freki drawled

"How long are you going to keep secrets from me Wolf?" I demanded. 

"Challenge him when he comes back and then we test him, "Freki suggested. 

"You- "Freki was infuriating me. 

"I can read your thoughts. You are happy to be around him, "Freki scoffed. 

 I mulled for a while over the words Freki told me and felt the first rays of the sunrise as they hit the open glass doors of the windows. Folding the bedding, I took them back to his bedroom and placed them on the bed. After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I removed my shirt and walked to the patio to wait for Conri. 

The image of his gigantic wolf disappearing into the woods made my body shudder. No wonder he could control a beast like the Tizheruk.

"He can't control it. They have a mutual understanding. You need to find out what they agreed on so that we can walk freely in these woods, "Freki advised. I nodded and basked in the rays of the morning sun for half an hour on the patio.

The scent of Conri's wolf hit my nose as the image of a brown wolf appeared in the woods. His wolf was slightly larger than my wolf, coated in brown, thick fur as his golden eyes blazed and his teeth snarled at me. He trotted and stood a few meters away. I could bet no one had seen his wolf in years and if they did now, they would cower in fear. 

Memories of the first time Zeeb saw my wolf made me laugh. He looked utterly shocked and took a step back while I lay down, a sign that I would not attack him. 

"How are you this big?" He had whispered. I was so lost in the memory that Conri's wolf's growl snapped me out of it.

"Your growl effect on me is different. " I laughed. Pulling my pants down, shifted, and landed next to him.

I watched as his eyes widened and his wolf stared at us in shock. I growled at him and snarled at him, showing my teeth. I was daring him to attack, and he did. He charged and tried to bite my torso, and I evaded it with speed. I could tell it surprised him at how agile and fast I was. 

He changed tactics and soon he had Freki's leg between his teeth and he hovered over us. He planted a paw on Freki's neck, put his snot next to us and growled. The sound vibrated through us, making Freki chuckle. 

Conri's wolf spit my leg out and trotted away. 

"Attack him again," I urged Freki. 

Freki stood up and slammed his body on Conri's wolf. He recovered quickly but before Freki bit his side. I felt the anger in Conri's wolf finally when his golden orbs turned red and he released his power over me. His wolf demanded submission while Freki whimpered and lowered his head. He pushed into our mind link and spoke "Lil pup, you are playing with fire" 

I had never felt the urge and need to submit to someone since I was born. Conri's wolf push into my mind made me feel the need to be owned. His wolf turned around and trotted to the cabin as I watched him shift back into his human form and clothes appeared on his body. He stood by the glass door fuming in anger. 

I stood up, trotted to the patio and shifted. I walked over to where I had left my pants and pulled them up. "You need to teach me how to shift back and maintain my clothes. "I jested.

"Leave" He roared as his bloodshot eyes met mine. He released his Alpha power but Freki stood his ground. 

"Why are you angry, Conri?" I demanded but I could feel my resolve slowly slipping into submission. 

He turned away and opened the glass door. He walked in and came back in a flash and threw my trekking bag, warm jacket, and shoes on the patio floor. "Leave before I change my mind about working for you. I don't want to see your face right now. You crossed the line Lucian Freki.
