Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kieran followed his sister and the other Alpha. He paused and inhaled deeply. The other Alpha was nearby. He was hunting them all.
"You smell him...?" He asked as he turned his gaze to Keagan. His Wolf wanted to seek him out and tear him apart. He did not like the aggressiveness of this new Alpha.
"He wants a fight..." Kieran inhaled again deeply and began to growl. Leila turned quickly to her brother.
"Relax Kieran! The Alphas will handle this!" Leila grabbed his shoulders.
"We are guests here. We will not make trouble for this Pack!" Kieran's growling got lower. Clearly he was trying to control his Wolf.

Leila linked her arms through each male arm and hurriedly lead them back to Allison. She finally relaxed once she saw the other young woman.
"Allison!" She called, the relief evident in her voice.

Leila crept out of the house. Her brother was asleep, as was the rest of the house. She needed some time to herself. Some time for her and her Wolf to be one and free. She walked out to the woods and stripped her clothes away. Unfortunately her Half-Breed status made it impossible for her Brother and her to Shift clothing.

Leila let the moonlight wash over her lightly tanned limbs. She stretched and then shuddered lightly. The night air was a bit cool and gave her goosebumps. She closed her eyes and let her Wolf have the reigns. Immediately she felt the change start to happen. It didn't take long. Perhaps a minute total time.

The minds seemed to mend together and form one consciousness. Leila loved seeing life as the Wolf. it was new and exciting to her. The Wolf darted off into the woods. She wanted to find Meadow. She wanted to make sure the young female Wolf had made it back to her Pack safely.

She found herself sniffing around the Pack's home. She could smell an Alpha male. One that was not of the Pack. Immediately her Wolf started to growl. The hairs along her back rising. She did not like this male Wolf.

Leila bound up alongside Meadow. Her Wolf and she were glad to see the other female was okay. She paused to sniff the ground or air curiously every so often. She pawed at the ground then raced up ahead of Meadow, stopped, turned and raced back. The energetic female reared up on her hind legs then pranced about a few seconds. Her tail thumped from side to side happily as she raced back to Meadow. She lightly thumped her head against Meadow's. It was her way of greeting the female.

Leila picked the clothes up in her mouth and trotted off. She hid from view as she shifted back and dressed hurriedly. She stepped out and moved quickly toward Meadow.
"My brother is fine for now. I came to check on you. We have a Alpha not from that Pack who is lurking about in the woods. I just wanted to make sure you didn't run into him. He is highly aggressive." She swept her thick dark glossy hair back away from her face.
"He is challenging the Pack Alphas..."

"The male I suspect in without his own territory. Or perhaps looking to expand his territory." Leila offered, she was clever. Always thinking and using her deductive reasoning skills to solve problems.
"Oh Meadow, don't put me in the middle of this! My brother has his own thoughts and feelings. He wants his old human life back. He wants things to be simple, and make sense. He misses Dawn. You can't expect him to just forget and abandon his old life. They were our family our whole life." She frowned and shook her head.
"He and Dawn have been on and off for two years now...He will not just forget her over night."

Leila hurried away and stripped down. The shift came so easy to her. They were in sync, and it felt amazing. It felt like ever cell in her was humming with life. She raced off, heading back toward the other Pack.

She had to make it back before anyone in the house woke and realized she was gone. Leila was enjoying the run, not searching for signs of other Wolves. Her mistake, by the time she scented the others she was trapped. A net surrounded her from beneath and held her suspended in the air. High above the ground. She whimpered and yelped. Next she bite at the thick rope netting.

Several male Wolves, all full grown emerged from the woods. They let up a howl one by one. The Alpha she scented earlier turned into his human self. He smirked up at her.
"What a beautiful She-Wolf for our Pack! She is no Alpha, she will be a good start though. She'll birth us beautiful pups!" Leila snarled at the man and he laughed.
"You will submit or be torn apart girl!" Leila shifted back, doing her best to cover her nakedness.
"I'm a half breed! You don't want me! An Alpha mating with a Half-Breed? Other Packs will laugh at you!" She taunted the Alpha.
"I did not say I will take you as my Mate. There are many Males in my Pack who need a Mate. They will fight and see who has earned the right to Mate with the second female of our Pack. Pity, your a beauty as both a Wolf and a Human..." He tsked and looked around and the other five male Wolves all watching her with interest.

Leila shifted back. She human form was cold and felt embarassed being nude in front of the men. The Alpha and another male who had shifted slowly lowered the netting down. The wolves tightened the circle, ready to attack should the smaller female try to escape.

Once Leila was on the ground her Wolf fully took over. She snarled and smapped her teeth menancingly at the Wolves and men. Her fur was bristling, making her appear larger. Her stomach was lower to the ground to try to protect the soft flesh there.

She started to move slowly. Her muscles tensed, and at once she saw a male move toward her from her left side facing her. Immediately she snapped and bite the male's muzzle. He let out a surprised yelp and then she was swarmed. All the male's attacking, biting and scratching at her. The growling and snarling was awful.

The bites hurt and she couldn't stop enough of them, though she continued to fight. After just a few minutes she could not continue. She was too injured. Bleeding and battered she laid in the ground exhausted. She wouldn't die from her injuries but she had been beaten. A large black and silver grey looking Wolf had her by the throat. The Male's jaws had squeezed about her neck, letting her know if she continued to fight she would lose.

She had been forced to submit. Her Wolf understood she had lost. She closed her eyes and felt the male who had beat her licking her neck, face and then wounds. She opened her eyes as she heard growling. A male approached and her Champion was not pleased. He moved away slowly a short fight took place. Nearly immediately another male ceased the opportunity to attempt to mount her. She whipped around attacked viciously. Her teeth sinking into his flesh. Her male appeared seconds later and slammed his body against the other male.

The fight was over in less then a minute but it was brutal. The injured male hurried away bleedingand limping. The other males backed off as her male stood proudly facing them all. He growled and awaited anymore challenges. None came and after a minute of the tense stand off the Alpha who was a Wolf once more tossed his head back and howled.

All the male's joined in, and when the howling subsided her victor returned to her. He stood over her and she watched cautiously. Wondering what would happen next. He lowered his face to hers and once more licked her muzzle , neck and ears this time. After a few minutes of him grooming her she felt a little more relaxed.

He Shifted to his Human form. He was a large man. Easily over 6ft, broad shouldered and chested. He had dark hair and hazel eyes. His body was scarred from many fights from what little she could see of him.
"I will take you from here now Mate." He said in a firm voice. Her Wolf accepted this. The male had proven himself a worthy and able Mate. He had taken on challenges, had bested her, and protected her. He had soon her mercy and compassion. The the Human in her was screaming out against this, her Wolf accepted this situation. It was an Old Way of thinking but it was accepted. This Male if he choose to could take her as his Mate. She could do nothing to resist.

He scooped up her slight frame in his arms. She whimpered softly, and hid her face with one paw. The male stared down at her.
"Shift. I wish to admire your Human form." She wanted to deny him this request but before she knew what was happening she was changing. Her Wolf responding to the authority in his tone. He was her Mate, she was to obey him. Only other Male that she would obey would be her Alpha.

Leila covered her womanly parts as best she could with her arms. She balled herself up in his arms. He growled his frustration but pulled her closely.
"Your modesty is both annoying and endearing." He hurried away with her, eager to get her away from prying eyes so that he could examine his prize.

The house he took her to was old. It was in need of many repairs, but he carried his mate in and over the threshold. He carried her off to a small room with a large bed. Immediately her arms went about his neck as her heart began to pound.
"No!" She cried out and he ignored her. He ripped her arms from about his neck and dumped her on the bed. Immediately she scampered away like a skittish rabbit. He growled at her, his eyes locked on hers.
"Mate you will present yourself to me." She did not obey immediately. She fought the command that echoed in her brain. She trembled from the sheer force of will it took to disobey her Mate. He watched both pleased and annoyed with the display of will.
"You'll obey or be broken my pretty little Mate." He replied thickly. With a small cry of frustration she gave in. She moved to stand before him, naked as the day she entered the world. Immediately he looked her over.
"Anything feel broken?" He asked as he grabbed her arm and stretched it out before him.
"Huh...?" She asked confused by his question.
"Your bones. Does anything feel broken? Your cuts will be fine after a good cleaning. None are life threatening." His voice was strong, demanding.
"No. Nothing feels broken." Leila replied softly. He had wanted to examine her for injuries. Not for sexual reasons.
"Shower and rest Mate. Tonight our Bonding Ceremony is to take place followed by our First Mating."
"I don't know you! I can't marry you!" Leila had read up and knew a Bonding Ceremony was their version of a wedding. It would be filed with the Courts, but more terrifying to her was that once a pair was Bonded it was for life. She closed her eyes and swallowed down the fear as she thought about Blood Bonding. Would he want to Blood Bond with her immediately.
"You will be Bonded to me girl. You get cleaned up and rest. Write down your measurements. I will purchase things in town for you." He stretched to the dresser and grabbed a notepad and pencil. He handed it to Leila, and she took it. She did not want him to purchase anything for her but she didn't want to be naked either.
"Leila. My name is Leila. Not girl or Mate. Leila." She replied as she wrote. He repeated her name and she was surprised by the shudder of excitement it caused. She liked hearing her name in his rumbling tone.
"Jasper." He said as he accepted the notepad from her. Her eyes met his and she felt a warmth spread throughout her body, starting at her stomach.
"Your name is Jasper...?"
"Indeed." His eyes stayed on her face. It made her feel better that he wasn't ogling her like most men her age did. He was okder then her, but probably not much older then her.
"I will return shortly. The Pack will guard the house. You are not to leave the house until I return." She nodded her head in understanding and watched as he left. Her Wolf was positively beaming much ro Human Leila's disgust.

Meadow and her warriors arrived just as Leila was being taken away by a wolf. "After him! Get Leila" She barked through mind link. Then her eyes fixed on the Alpha. She shifted in all her naked glory. Meadow wasn't ashamed of her body so it didn't phase her. She said in a clear Alpha tone. "I'm going to ask one time and one time only. Either you submit and come with me willingly or I take you down by force." Meadow thought for a moment. "Then again why am I even talking." Meadow shifted and attacked the Alpha. Her remaining warriors battled the other 5 wolves. After being nipped at, patches of fur missing, and a few wounds that were already healing, she had the Alpha pinned to the ground by his neck. Meadow wanted blood, but her beta and third pulled her off arresting the Alpha. The warriors returned who I instructed to go after Leila came back empty handed. "What happened to her!" Meadow shouted. They explained that they lost the scent. Meadow growled in frustration. Soon another wave of pain hit her. A mated warrior picked her up and carried her to the pack house. Meadow made one last demand before she passed out. "Question him. Find out as much as possible."
