Chapter 18: Striped Beast

Wailing pierced through the air as red sirens spiraled around us. We both lifted our heads in panic. We knew what this meant; an attack. We ran outside to see what was going on and straight towards where everyone else was running from. I heard noises from an animal that I had never heard before. It's noises screeched through the air mixed with the wailing sirens. When we found the danger, my eyes widened. What was that thing? A beast towering three times my size, a shade of dusty orange and black stripes covering its body. Chains hung from its neck and body, indicating it had been imprisoned before. It reared up on its hind legs and let out another loud screech. Penelope boldly took strides towards the beast. I panicked. She made an inaudible hissing noise and the beast succumbed to all fours and looked straight towards her, its nose sniffing the air. She hissed at it again and it responded in the same language. They were communicating. The beast raised its paw and I stepped in front of Penelope, baring my teeth. The beast growled at me. Penelope stood beside me and again started to hiss at the beast. The beast whimpered and laid its paw beside Penelope. I looked at her astonished. I noticed one of her eyes glowing; the darker one turned to a honey-like hue. She grabbed the chain around the beasts paw and pulled the chain away. The beast roared in pain as thick liquids ran from its paw. I watched Penelope intently. Her darker eye flickered to its original color while her light eye glowed a bright blue. I watched as the liquids soaked back into the beast and its skin zipped shut. Both of Penelope's eyes naturalized and she looked back at me.

"It's your uncle." She said coldly. I was still shocked to even process.

"How did you do that?" She blinked at me blatantly.

"I don't know. I've always been able to. This animal needs help." She turned back to the beast and hissed at it as her darker eye glowed again. The beast nodded. "Help me take his chains off. He said he won't hurt anyone."

Me and my colleagues just sat and stared a second to process.

"You heard her!" I shouted in command.

We slowly made our way closer to the beast and grabbed hold of some of the chains, unwrapping the chains from around him. Penelope and I worked on the same chain.

"So you said this was my uncle?" I asked her.

"Yes, he said so. He told me he's not the only animal imprisoned. He said he experiments on him and his friends." She informed me.

"How do you understand him?"

"For the most part I just know because of instinct I think but also lots of these things live in rogue territory. They're friendly; that's probably why you don't encounter them." She looked down and concentrated on her task.

"And the healing. Why didn't you heal me?" I asked her.

"I've never been able to heal wolves. I tried it in my old pack and with Allison when we lived in rogue territory but I could never do it."

"It's extraordinary anyway." I marvelled at her. She just chuckled under her breath but soon got serious.

"What's the situation with your uncle?" She asked. I sighed.

"Well, he was supposed to be the alpha of this pack but my grandpa denied him his right because of his selfish intentions. Not to mention, things like the mistreatment of this beast. My grandfather banned him from this pack and he formed his own pack with some of his followers. My father has tried to show him grace but I don't think he will after he finds out about this. Did he tell you anything else?" I gestured towards the beast.

"He mentioned that he was given my scent." She shrugged. I growled under my breath.

"He's trying to separate us so I won't become alpha." I gritted through my teeth. She leaned against me.

"Please, stay calm. I know this is frustrating but I don't like when you're mad. Nothing is going to get between us." She looked up into my eyes. I took a deep breath.

"You don't know what my uncle will go to, to get what he wants." I sighed. "He will destroy everything."

"Don't be stressed. It seems like you need some relaxing at home." Her fingers danced on my stomach. I chuckled at her.

"You're soo naughty." I teased her.

"You made me that way." She giggled then coming close to my ear and whispering, "You made me want you all the time."

I smirked listening to her words, grabbing her waist tightly, pulling her close to my hard throbbing dick. She looked at me seductively.

"Mmmm you're making me crazy." I whispered into her ear, feeling her weaken in my arms. I chuckled at my affect on her. "I bet you can feel your core crave me right now. I know cause I can smell it." I sniffed in her intoxicating scent.

"I said at home." She spoke back at me. She left my grip and continued untangling some chains.

I wanted to go home now. Just to take her and dive deep into her slick folds and stuff her full until it's dripping out of her. My dick pulsed at my dirty thoughts. I couldn't stand it anymore. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind me. She resisted a little at first but soon succumbed. I dragged her to my room, locking the door quickly after. I growled, turning around to her. She had already laid down on the bed ready for me. She pulled her shirt off, not breaking eyecontact with me and soon after her pants slid down her legs. I licked my lips, seeing her figure in nothing but her undergarments. I walked towards her and hovered over her. Only to lean into her neck and press my body against hers seconds later. I pulled her air through my nose.

"I love the way you smell." I mumbled against her neck. I chuckled as her fingers fiddled with the edge of my shirt. "Getting impatient?"

She nodded her head. I ran my hands up the sides of her body, feeling her soft skin. I lifted my face and connected my lips to hers. I lightly grinded my hips on hers. I listened to her quiet moens underneath me. I sat up pulling my shirt off. Her hands immediately attached to my body, tracing every inch. I unbuckled my pants and pulled them down. I looked at her and smirked at her eyes facing my rock hard dick under my boxers. Her hands slowly glided above it, massaging it slightly. I leaned my head back in pleasure and let out a quiet groan.
