Twelve

~Aphrodite~

Get up.

You act like I can do it so easily Eris.

Get. Up.

You know what. You get me up then. I'm done. My body hurts, and all I want to do is rest.

You can't just let him hurt you like that!

Well guess what, it happen.

Aphrodite, you need to hurt him back.

Eris, my punches would hurt but not as bad as his. Sure, we have muscle, but Eris. We defeated Alphas with our wolf form. Not just me-

Okay. Then go fight him him in wolf form.

Eris. I'm not. Not yet at least.

Fine. I'll do it.

I open my eyes fast and still see that I'm on the ground, laying on my side. "Eris. I swear if you move my body-"

It's not like you're doing something. She pushed me back and that's when I felt her take control of our body. I would yell at her but she would simply ignore me. She got up and looked around.

ERIS! She then blocked me out and all I can do is try and try to get control.

She walked to the bathroom, looking for him but when she didn't see him in there she looked at the mirror. "Wow. We look like garbage." I watched her brown eyes look us up and down, and then she left.

"Aphrodite. Where should I bite him? Leg? Arm? Rib-"

I pushed her out and finally I took control. "Eris. None. We are not going to hurt him. Not yet at least. I'm going back to Brycin." I looked out to the hall and smelled. He wasn't here but I smelled Alcander.

I quickly walked down the hall towards the stairs and thank the moon goddess for not letting Acnader come out of his room. I walked to the front door and walked towards the woods. I looked around, making sure no one saw me, or going to tell Valdus.

So, I walked through the woods and sniffed if I can smell the border patrol, but the moon was with me on this plan. So, I shifted and started to sprint towards my pack.

I was praying I was going the right way. Trees covered most of the land I was running through. I threw myself on the ground, and rolled around. I rubbed my self in the mud and then rubbed myself on the trees. When I felt heavy with mud and dirt, I took off again and would sniff now and then. I finally started to smell my territory.

I grew happy and sprinted faster. When I made it in, my border patrol didn't recognize me at first, so they were chasing me. When I made it to the training field, they caught up to me and tackled me down. I quickly shifted and stood up. "Josh. Jose, it's me." They shifted and quickly took a knee. "Forgive us Alpha."

"It's fine. Where is Brycin?" I looked around and saw that my wolves were training but stopped when they saw Josh and Jose talked me.

"Inside. In your estate. I think he's doing paper work. Why? Alpha, did you take the title?"

I looked back to them, "I'll explain later. But thank you." I ran towards my estate and busted through the door. "Brycin!" I ran upstairs and to the office that I gave him when I was here. I didn't bother to knock, I opened the door with a bang and scared him. He was writing something on a paper and his pen slid off his paper.

"Aphrodite! You scared the crap out of me!" He stood up and walked around his desk. His face turned bright with a huge smile, "you got the title, didn't you!" He came up to me and gave me a tight hug.

"Brycin! Listen." I pushed him away while his face grew confused. "I didn't get the title yet, I'm going too. But, not yet at least." I quickly sat down on the chair and looked at him. "Sit down. I need to tell you every thing."

"Okay. Why? What happen? Oh- here" he took off his shirt and handed it to me. "Thanks." I gently grabbed it and put it on. "Okay, so when I first got there, he left me by myself. So, I walked around and yeah- okay! I'm just explaining stupid things. I want to hurt him Brycin. He hurt me by marking me." I tilt my head to the side while my hair fell off my shoulder, showing my mark.

His eyes grew wide while he stood up abruptly. "What!? When!?" He walked around while slamming his feet on the ground while he walked around the desk again, and pulled me up and leaned down till his face was so close to the mark. His breath would fan the mark, but it felt hot. I felt disgusted by him touching me. I felt my stomach curl and I swallowed the throw up back and took a step away.

"He did it yesterday. I ran over here today, I don't know if he's coming or he hasn't noticed that I left. But I made it here. So, I'm telling you this. I need more time. I need more time and I need you to protect this pack for a little while. Just give me a couple of more weeks, I need to play along with the bond."

His face hid an emotional and his eyes fogged, hiding that emotion he was so desperately trying to spill out. "Okay, but-"

"Just promise me that. Okay, I need to leave before he comes here and actually defeat my pack. I need to leave." I was about to leave but he pulled my arm towards him.

"Are you sure? You don't want to attack now?"

"No, not now. They've been training and they won't take a surprise attack easily. They'll destroy a threat if they feel like they need too." I pull my arm away. "I need to go. Like now."

"Wait." He went to pull my arm back but I took a step back. "I need to go. I'll see you soon Brycin." I turned my back while I felt disgusted just by myself in a room with Brycin. So I quicken my steps and my hand touched the knob but my chest was pushed on the door.

"I don't like this mark." He growled. His hand touched the mark but he dug his fingers in, making me cry out in pain. "Brycin." I growled.

"How dare he mark you." He growled while his fingers dig deeper and I felt his claws come out. I cried out and tried to move but his body is pressed against me and my arms are trying so hard to push back to get off the door, but he's body is pressing hard against me.

"Brycin!" I yelled while I struggled to move. His claws dug deeper in and I cried out.

Eris!

Hold on!

I felt my bones start to shift but he held my neck and push deeper and pulled down.

Breaking the mark.
