Uncertain Desires Ch. 01

By: gorilla4



Disclaimer: HEY EVERYONE! thank you all for your continued support! I looked over this chapter and fixed a few things. Hope it's a better read. See ya!

Chapter One

Elizabeth's POV

It was a hot, sunny afternoon in Chesterfield. The sky was a bright blue and the sun was beating down, making the locals take cover near the nearest tree for shade. It was a day no one would spend indoors, a thought that ran through a certain young female k9 officers head.

"Yes! I can finally have my well deserved vacation." I thought, as I walked out the doors of the Police Department with my four legged partner hot on my heels. 

Luka has been my partner for three years now. We've been through alot him and I, whether it be the occasional drug bust or the always enjoyable criminal sniff-out, we've been through enough to become as close as two peas in a pod.

Oh, before I forget! My name is Elizabeth Braswell, Braswell from my mothers side. Nice to meet ya!

I was just outside the door when my Lieutenant called out to me, stopping me in my tracks. 

"Elizabeth! Enjoy your vacation!" He said with a wide toothy grin.

"Thanks Lieutenant, I will. By the way, thank you for letting me leave early today. I don't think Luka would want to pass a day like this up." I say appreciatively. 

I couldn't help but wonder how a fifty-year old man could look the way he does. 

He stood around 6 feet tall, with breathtaking abs that confidently outlined his uniform. His hair was peppered gray in a buzz cut that made him look intimidating. His Blue Sheriff uniform clung to his body, but had enough room to make it comfortable.

"Don't mention it... I keep telling you that we've known each other long enough now, call me Jeff. Besides, I know how hard you've been working and I know you want to spend some time with your sister. You twins spend to much damn time working. You being a k9 officer and her being a doctor and all. Young 23 year olds like yourselves should be enjoying life to the fullest, not working until you can't think straight." He spoke in that fatherly tone of his. I always appreciated it once in a while. 

"Haha, I know, but we got to make a living somehow right?" 

"Well enjoy yourself, maybe find someone else to enjoy your free time with. You two need to expand your field, find a couple of men to show you that some people can be worth trusting." He said in a sympathizing tone.

"Yeah, yeah. You tell me the same thing every day, and I keep telling you that Isabella and I are happy the way things are right now, with just the two of us. We don't need some guy in our lives to make us feel complete!" I stated in an irked manner.

"Well, you know I want the best for you two, you two deserve to be taken care of. Anyway, I don't want to keep you away from what ever you 23 year olds do now adays. Have a good time." He gave me one of his famous bear hugs that seemed to always cause my 5 foot frame to cringe. Being hugged by a person other than my sister ...let alone a man, always makes me feel weired. 

We said our goodbyes and I hopped in my car, my black German Sheppard in the seat next to me. I drove to me and my sisters apartment while thinking about how our problem of trusting men began...

It was eighteen years ago when our father gave us up for adoption. We had just turned 6 years old during that time. Our mother had died giving birth to us; our father always blamed us for that. He refused to love us like a father should. 

While some children went fishing or played games with their fathers ours would refuse to even speak to us, when he wasn't hitting us. He would go after Isabella especially. My sister thought there was never a need to hit family, so when ever he would try to hit her I would swear at him or hit him distracting him from beating her and I would take the hit. I love my sister too much to have anyone cause her any harm, and if that meant taking the fall or defending her till my last breath, that was a decision I was willing to make.

He got remarried to a young bimbo, who was twenty years old and thought the idea of kids was unbearable. With the fact that we weren't sons, he gave no second thought to dumping us off at the most hell ridden orphanage there was, and practically throwing us out of the car before driving away and never coming back to get us....

I couldn't help but picture the movie "ANNIE" while thinking of the past. Luka started licking my neck, one of the most ticklish part of my body, breaking me out of my train of thought. I could tell by the look on his face he sensed my uneasiness. 

Being a k9 officer is awesome. Having a furry companion as a partner instead of a human is just so much more reassuring. With humans they would easily trade your life over theirs, with dogs they would protect you with their life and you care for each others well being. Dogs are just so much more loyal. 

I arrive to my apartment building and walk with Luka to my apartment, door two hundred and one, which just happened to be on the top floor. I open the door enthusiastically and we walk in ...

Damien's POV

"YOU'RE SUCH A HIGH STRUNG ASSHOLE! WHY SHOULDN'T WE GO TO THE IRON HORSE?!" I growled to my twin brother Ben with anger dripping from each word, as we argued about going to one of the Pack bars.

"Because Damien! Being the alphas of the Cross Pack, the strongest, biggest and oldest pack known in the werewolf community, we have the obligation as the leaders to stay on the Pack grounds in case of emergency! We don't have time to waste on petty affairs, like goofing off and getting drunk while being surrounded by money hungry sluts! THATS WHY YOU SELF PROCLAIMED PIECE OF SHIT!" Ben retorted in his little know-it- all way of his.

He sat on his chair in our office, while I stood hovering over his desk.

Don't get me wrong, I have high respect and love towards my brother. Being twins, we have a special bond, combined with our wolf bond, we are unseparable. In fact that's how we both got to be alphas of our pack. 

After our fathers death instead of fighting to the death, we did the unthinkable. We made it clear that we were to both split the role of alpha. Ben, with his well rounded view of finances and politics, would handle the Packs financial and political parts that come with being the alpha. 

I, on the other hand, being more aggressive, chose to focus my attention on the Packs strength and structure. This means I carry out the punishments to those who break pack law. I also train those of the pack to fight and defend when needed. Being the strongest and most respected members of the Pack, no one dared to question our authority.

But even being as close as we are, we still tend to argue over some matters as most siblings do. 

While Ben and I went on bickering on this topic, we failed to notice the door opening as someone stepped inside. 

"Why don't I stay here and you two go out and have fun."

Our top beta Jeff calmly suggests coming between our heated argument, which no dout he overheard.

"Even after two centuries neither of you have found your mates." We both looked at each other, sadness within our eyes... sadness that goddess Luna still hasn't paired us with our mates.

Then a faint intoxicating aroma of lavender and roses filled my senses. My wolf began to stir with heated lust, as I slowly begin to stalk towards Jeff. 

"Uhhhh... Damien what are you doing?" Ben questioned. While Jeff stares at me with a what-the-fuck look on his face.

"That smell! It's so alluring! It smells of happiness and joy. My wolf is pacing within me."

"Jeff, did you happen to come in contact with anyone today?"Ben asks with curiosity as he stands up and walks next to me.

I'm at this point growling threateningly at Jeff, while bearing my claws, my wolf on the verge of fully coming out, my hazel eyes turned dark amber. 

"Let me think... I did give one of my k9 officers a goodbye hug this afternoon.." He didn't get to finish his explanation before I launched at him, knocking him to the floor.

"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY MATE! SHE'S MINE! ALL MINE!" I roar while I pin Jeff to the floor. My wolf grinning happily that this proclamation is made.

"Damien, calm yourself! Release Jeff!" Ben says assertively. 

He pries me off of Jeff and we both stand up, I push my wolf down and relax.

"I have to meet her! I need to make her mine!" 

I go hysterical at the thought that any other male could be around her, instead of being by my side and knowing how much she is loved by me and only me.

"Don't worry alpha, I have her phone number. She is on vacation with her sister, I can call her and invite her to go to The Iron Horse. Where you can "happen" to meet her."

"That sounds perfect. You set up the arrangement Jeff. Damien will get ready to leave. I will tag along to prevent any mishaps that may occur." Ben clarifies with authority.

"Yes my alpha, I will do it right now." Jeff says. With no further discussion Jeff takes out his cell phone and walks out of the office.

"Don't worry brother you will have your mate." Ben says comfortingly while suppressing his inner envy of not having any idea of where his mate could be.

"Thanks, and don't worry brother, maybe Luna will guide both of our mates at the bar" I reassure Ben, sensing the distress in his words.

"I can but pray, come on let's get ready."

Elizabeth's POV

"Oh, thanks Jeff I'll be there, see ya." I say as I hang up the phone. "BELL COME HERE FOR A SEC!" I scream to my sister saying her nickname that I gave her, to tell her the news.

"What is it Elly?" She replies curiously. 

Isabella walks into the livingroom to find me located on the couch.

"My boss just invited me to go to this bar in town called The Iron Horse." I say dreadfully.

"A bar? Why on earth would Jeff want you to go to a bar with him? He does know how uncomfortable we are around people, right? " Bell says dumbfounded.

"Yes he does, but he did give me vacation on the same week as you, so it would be a nice way to repay him. Please come with me! Jeff is the only one coming so we should just humor him, at least." I say trying to persuade her in not having me go alone to the bar.

"Fine, but I'm only doing this for you! You deserved that vacation and I could go for a few rounds." She says sarcastically

"Thanks sis I appreciate it. Who knows, maybe we can make a night out of it! Jeff told us to be there around 10 pm. That gives us an hour. Lets start getting ready!"

"Okay, lets start." Bell says.

We both head to our bedrooms.

Uncertain Desires Ch. 02



Disclaimer: Hey everyone! Thanks to everyone who voted, commented and just plain out read my story. I apologize for the resent POV, hopefully this chapter is better. FAIR WARNING!! To those who are against violence and minor swearing, it's going to be in the story. So without further a do here's chapter two!




Elizabeth's POV

"BELL HURRY UP!" I yelled loud enough for her to hear from her bedroom.

I was lingering in the doorway wearing my favorite brown leather jacket accompanied by jean shorts that ran seductively along my upper mid-thigh, while snuggling perfectly against my pear shaped silhouette. The matching black sleeveless V-neck cupped my upper body with great embrace as it hugged my curves with great perfection. All this was finished with black knee high boots that enhanced my well sculpted sporty physique. My dirty blonde locks were pulled into a messy bun that framed my enchanting bone structure alongside my face. My creamy white skin tones drew the attention from my outfit. 

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Bell states as she steps out of her bedroom.

As she walks closer to me I can see she chose her sexy red little number, that fit her flawless white skin perfectly. The strapless ensemble clinging to her perfect eight shaped body almost gave me pangs of jealousy. My eyes strolled down her body. Her feet were greatly arched after being fitted into four-inch black stilettos. Her normally five-foot-two self seemed larger than life itself. Her matching dirty blonde hair flowed gracefully in long gentle waves as it cascaded loosely down to her lower back. 

"Damn sis you lookin fine! You look scrumptious enough to eat. " I state in slight apprehension. The twinkle of her heart-shaped locket was the final touch that caught my eye, as she then came up to me.

"Thanks sis, but it's not a competition... but if it was I'd win." Bell states in a teasing manner.

"Oh bite me! Come on lets head out!" I say with a playful laugh

We say goodbye to Luka and head out the door to meet Jeff at the bar.

AT THE BAR

We walk into the bar and are instantly bombarded with loud laughter of drunken patrons sucking down bottles of imported liquor. The dim lighting hides any chance of recognition to any of the shadows sitting around the cash flowing tabs awaiting payment. 

As we take in the view, all eyes are on us. We head to the far corner of the bar and take a seat as the heads turn in our direction.

"Where's Jeff? I thought he'd be here by now." Bells questions to me, trying to ignore the glances.

"Don't worry I'm sure he'll arrive soon." I reassure Bell while glancing at my cell phone on the table. I notice a missed call from Jeff.

"One sec, Jeff left me a voice mail." I tell Bell as I lift the phone to my right ear, while blocking out the back round noise by placing my free hand over my left ear. I listen to the voice mail. 

"Hey Elizabeth its Jeff. Sorry but I can't make it to the bar. Some important business came up and I'm unable to come. But please enjoy yourself none the less. Talk to you soon. Bye.

I look at my phone flabbergasted. I couldn't believe Jeff wasn't coming.

"He's not coming. He said something came up and he's not showing." I tell Bell, irritation in each word.

"WHAT! I can't believe it. The time we actually decide to go out and he's a no show! That's just so typical," Bell exclaims gruffly,"So what do you want to do now?" Bell tells me.

"Well we're already here, so might as well just make a night out of it." I say enthusiastically"What do you say?"

"Might as well. Its not like we have anything better to do... but your buying the first round!" Bell states playfully. "You order the drinks I need to use the restroom first."

"No prob." I state.

I begin to look over the drink selections. Bell rises from her seat and heads to the bathroom.

Damien's POV

"OK we're here." I state to Ben. We step out of my dark-blue Mustang and enter the bar.

Patrick, the manager of the bar, and to whom happens to be one of our Omegas, greets us eagerly at the door.

"Alpha Damien, Alpha Ben it's an honor having you both take time off of work to be here this evening. Shall I assist you to your booth and get you a drink." Patrick says with glee.

"No need Patrick. We're here because Damien has set up a plan to meet his mate. Who should be arriving here tonight." Ben states with gratification.

"Splendid! I wish to meet her. For now however, I will allow you two to get acquainted. I wish you luck Alpha." Patrick says to me before he heads off to deal with some slacking employees. 

"She's here brother. Her tantalizing smell is filling my senses." I desperately search the crowd, trying to spot the source of the smell that causes both my wolf and I to become restless and lustful.

"Go to her brother, find your mate. In the mean time I gotta take a leak." Ben tells me and then walks away to the bathroom.

"I shall do just that!" I state with joy.

We both head our separate ways.

Isabella's POV

I was fixing up my hair in the bathroom mirror, still peeved that Jeff canceled at the last minute, resulting in us being surrounded by complete strangers. I let out a heavy sigh and head out the door. 

As I hurriedly step out the door to go back to Elizabeth I suddenly walk face first into someone. I look up ready to apologize, only to come in contact with the most gorgeous man I've ever seen.

He was an astonishing six foot four walking dream. His flawless dark skin glistened like the night sky. While his enormous muscles wrapped around his strong build, like a python squeezing its prey. His hair consisted of tightly wound black dread locks, that neatly cascaded over his broad shoulders and down the length of his back, resting just above his firm yet tight buttocks. His mouth-watering body was enclothed in a pair of blue jeans that hugged snugly against his muscular lower-half. The simple, yet appetizing white t-shirt that stretched out over his rippling torso. As I mentally wipe the drool from my mouth I also catch a glance of his black leather boots, which hid under his jeans.

My baby-blue eyes meet his chestnut brown eyes. As we stare into each others eyes, he then suddenly pins me forcefully against the wall. 

As he looked upon my surprised, stunned face he says one word that leaves me utterly confused.

"Mine!" 

Elizabeth's POV

I had just placed an order for two dry martinis, when a man comes up to my table.

He was admittedly a walking god. His skin was a dark ebony. His hair was black, which was short and slightly spiked. He wore a navy blue button up shirt. The top few buttons were left undone, showing traces of chest hair. His body consisted of well endowed muscles, muscles that could have only been created by hours of brutal exorcise. He wore beige dress pants that outlined his incomparable athletic legs. His eyes were a handsome chestnut color. All in all he was perfection... however something about his presence put me in high alert.

"Hey sexy kitten I'm Damien. What's a fine looking babe like you doin sitten all by yourself." He states in an cocky tone of voice

"Well I'm certainly not waiting for arrogant bastards like yourself, coming up to me and thinking your shit don't stink." I retort in a defensive manner, while giving him a menacing glare.

He seemed put back at my comment. Just as he was about to say something a familiar scream echoed throughout the bar. This was then followed by an angry cry.

"GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" I turn in the direction of the cry. Bell was being forcefully held against the wall by her arms by a man, a man who looks similar to Damien.

Instinctively seeing Bell in distress, I jump out of my seat and rush to her aid. I then proceed to try and pry the mans hold on Bell. At that moment he tries to reach out for me.

"DONT YOU DARE LAY A FINGER ON HER!" Bell roars as she takes the opportunity of his distraction and loosening grip, to then quickly knee him hard in the groin. He then fell to the floor in pain. Damien rushes beside the man, asking him if he's alright.

"How dare you guys treat us like this and think its okay! Bell lets go!" I state. Anger dripping with each word. 

I pull Bell away from the man and back towards me.

"Yeah lets. For your guys information, we HATE guys who let their little head control their big one." Bell states with fury. We start heading towards the door.

"Damien stop them!" The guy holding his nuts, hoarsely orders.

Damien grabs my arm and tries to pull me back. At that moment I instinctively turn to my side and roundhouse knee kick him in his gut, causing him to double-over in pain, while holding his stomach gasping for air. Bell and I then head out the door, ignoring the stunned faces of those watching the event before them.

Ben's POV

After watching the women leave I stand up slowly. The feeling of regret fills my mind, realizing that I had finally met my beautiful soul mate...and chased her away.

Turning to my brother, who's now starting to comeback to his senses, I state the obvious.

"Damien...we messed up."

*****

Ben's POV

It has been a day since the incident at the bar.

Sitting in my desk chair I hold my head in my hands, my mind continued to picture the moment I finally laid my eyes upon my destined mate and "held" her in my arms. I look down at my hands. The remembrance of her smooth, soft, snow white skin send chills of lust down my spine. My wolf replays images of her voluptuous, yet adorably short heightened body, begging me to go find her and claim her. I growl with pleasure of the thought of being able to grasp onto her deliciously D-cupped breasts, that perfectly toned heart-shaped ass pressed heavily against my bed, her body withering in pure ecstasy at the mere touch of me, as she begs desperately for more. 

Reality hits me like a truck, when I then recall the event in the bar. After accidentality bumping into her curvaceous frame, the sudden glorious scent of honey and vanilla bombarded my nose. By then, my fevered wolf took control of my actions and couldn't help but act on impulse. Before I knew it I had her pinned securely against the wall. The sight of her shocked/angered face still leaves me filled with grief. If it wasn't for my hurt body from her attack, and hadn't Damien been on the floor from being kicked, I would've chased after her when she stormed off with her friend. To explain that I wanted nothing more than to cherish, protect, and love her for as long as the air pumps through my lungs.

I sigh gruffly as my office door then quickly opens and Damien casually walks in. 

"Hey Ben, how you holding up?" Damien states, a hint of sadness in his voice.

"PERFECTLY! As great as I can be with the fact that not only did I practically jump onto my mate, but scared her so bad that she hit me, then stormed away." I say in a sarcastic reply.

"I know brother. But hey! How about we go to the gym for a few sparring rounds? I think we both could use the stress relief."

"Yeah sure, maybe a good workout would do us both some good." I say while getting up from my chair and head with Damien to the gym.

We walk down the long hallways of the house, right as we approached the gym doors and are about to enter, we're confronted by the last two people we would want to see in a moment like this. 

"Hey there my sexy alphas. Mind if we join you? Then perhaps afterwards... we could go somewhere and show you two another way to do a push up." Tiffany, the one person to make me mentally vomit states, as she leans close to me caressing her finely, manicured finger seductively against my chest.

"Tiffany, we would greatly appreciate it if you two just leave us alone. We don't have the time, nor patience for your petty games." I said through my gritted teeth. Barely able to keep my wolf down to prevent myself from ripping off her hand that dared to touch me with such familiarity.NO ONE CAN TOUCH ME, ONLY MY MATE CAN!

"Awww! come on my big bad wolf, why don't you guys want to play. You've never regretted our company before." Tiffany coyly tries to persuade. 

"Yeah, I've missed my cute little Damien demon." Kendra, Tiffany's little follower playfully says to Damien as she comes up from beside Tiffany. 

Damien cringes in disgust as she runs her eyes hungrily up and down his body. 

"YOU DARE GO AGAINST YOUR ALPHAS ORDERS!" Damien finally snaps loudly, not holding back his aggression. 

"No! Never! We wish nothing more than to please you" The women nervously reply in unison. 

"Good. Because the last thing we would want to suspect from you is disloyalty! And we planned on sparring with just the two of us. There are a few things we need to discuss with one another. In other words, ALONE!" Damien says, the last word menacingly. 

I could sense the annoyance in his voice. Although grateful for sending the message to the women, I knew best to end this discussion quickly, before he really got going.

"Okay ladies, I think its best if you two move along." I eventually finish, while opening the door and pushing the now fuming Damien in the gymnasium.

"But wai..." I close the door before letting them finishing their response.

We walk into the gymnasium taking in the sight. It was about the size of two basketball courts put together. On one end of the gym there was your treadmills, bench presses, weights, etc. On the other end however, was another story. The floor was a giant blue mat. In the way corner, there were free standing punching bags that could be brought out if having the need to practice one's kicking or punching. But in this case however, the only punching bag we'd be using, would be each other. 

As we walk up to the mat our other two Betas, Jessica and Adam, are already going at it.

"IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT BITCH!!" Adam states. You could feel the adrenaline in his voice.

"HA! THE ONLY BITCH RIGHT NOW IS YOU!" Jessica states right before she attempts to sideswipe Adam's feet. However, he backflips away from her only to come sprinting back and palm strike her in the chest. Right after, he side-kicks her causing her to fall on her butt with a thud. She then growls as she looks up at Adam, who is now smiling triumphantly down at her.

"Thats enough you two. Damien and I would like to practice a bit. Just step aside and watch what a real match looks like." I clarify while Damien and I take our place on the mat.

"You ready to get your ass-kicked bro?!" Damien says in a playfully yet condescending manner. 

"Oh brother... I'm going to enjoy ripping off your ears and shoving them up your arrogant butt, just so you can hear the sound of me kicking your ass!" I reply while letting my wolf take over me and come out. In a blink of an eye we are both fully transformed in our wolf forms.

Both of our wolves stood at an intimidating six feet tall, with dangerously huge muscular bodies, that dared anyone from starting a fight. Our strong jaws held our amazingly razor sharp teeth, teeth that were as white as milk and could rip through steel . As for our claws, that were now fully extended, where a good twelve inches long and held a girth of a junior league softball, which could slice through boulders.

Although similar in structure and build, our wolves did have a slightly different physical appearance. While Damien's wolf was completely jet black, mine was just as black but my under belly was fully coated white. 

"We'll see about that!" Damien states. He then comes charging at me.

Right before he had the chance to bite me, I jump in the air and land on my front paws behind him. Bringing all strength to my hind legs I then send a powerful kick onto Damien backside, he is then forced back and slammed against the wall.

"Whats the matter D? I thought I was the one supposed to get their ass kicked. Maybe your bark really is worse than your bite." I cleverly remark.

In the background I faintly over hear Jessica and Adam chuckle at my statement. I look over to the two with a smile.

"I wouldn't avert my eyes if I were you Ben!" Damien growls, rushing towards me. 

He grabs me by the back of my neck in his powerful jaws, and then harshly throws me a few feet away from him. I land hard on the mat. He uses this opportunity to jump onto me attempting to make me submit. 

"Serves you right for attempting to lay your hands on my mate at the bar, instead of leaving them on your own mate!" Damien states bitterly, while referencing back to the event at the bar.

"Seems this match is for more than letting off stress. For your information I would've... if your mate wasn't so preoccupied trying to lay her hands all over me instead of you, while I was with my mate," I remark scornfully,"I wouldn't have even bothered with her otherwise."

Tensions begin to rise in the room. Adam and Jessica exchange look concerned looks at one another. Our argument didn't go unnoticed by curious bystanders, who then slowly began to fill the room, along with one familiar face that was staring furiously at the two of us.

Damien's POV 

As we continued to argue about yesterday, which only heated our fighting, I start to reminisce of the beautiful goddess that was my mate. How her sparkling, bright blue eyes looked nonchalantly through the drink list at her table. Just thinking of the years that passed by without her, having random women throwing themselves at me, and the countless nights of petty-less intercourse that would leave me feeling empty the rest of the night. I wouldn't even have to try and women would crawl into my lap. No compassion. No caring for the other persons life. No anything. I couldn't even find a woman strong enough to defy me. No matter how I acted, they would giggle it off as if I was a freaking comedian. 

All that rushed away like a bad dream, as I finally looked upon the women that would complete me for the rest of my life.

For as long as I could remember no women could resist my presence, nor deny my words of flattery, this one was different however. She seemed to become defensive at first glance of me. As I walked to her table and gave her my award winning smile, barely able to keep my wolf under control. I introduced myself along with adding a few words that showed my interest in her. Her immediate response was, Well I'm certainly not waiting for arrogant bastards like yourself, coming up to me and thinking your shit don't stink... At first I was taken back that for the first time in my life, a women actually refused my advances. Although angered at being called a bastard, a sense of pride overwhelmed me, as I learned that my future mate was a strong willed women. A women that couldn't be easily wooed by a few flirtatious words. It made my wolf excited, knowing that my mate to be had some fight in her. Trying to make her submit in the future would quite interesting.

Ben and I continued to wrestle on the floor, trying to make the other submit. By this time now the room had gotten filled by the people of our Pack. It wasn't until one special person said something to cause the both of us to stop in our tracks and look up at that person.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF LUNA ARE YOU TWO DOING!" our mother said, as she rushed up to us on the mat, pulled us apart, and placed her hands on her hips as she took turns staring sternly at both of us. 

"Nothing mother, just a little brotherly dispute." Ben states, as we turn back into our human forms, unashamed of our nudity.

"Well its gotten the entire pack in here! You two have been acting very strangely since you came back last night," I could hear the concern in her voice. "What happened?" she states. 

Ben and I exchanged looks at each other, then the room full of our people. I knew at this point we might as well tell the Pack of our recent discovery. I look my mother straight in the eye and tell her...

"We have found our mates." I straightforwardly announce.

At that moment the room fell silent. The declaration that the Alpha males of their Pack, had finally found their soon to be Alpha females... The room then fell into an uproar of excitement. Men and women were screaming their congrats. There was a wave of loud clapping, and howls of joy. Everyone was ecstatic, however our mother was the most excited.

"OH MY SWEET, HANDSOME BOYS! Whats's their names? When can I meet them? What's their favorite food?What are they like?..." After about 20 questions later, she took the time to breathe and gave us a chance to speak.

"Mother, we have something to tell you..." Ben says with great anxiety.

ONE EXPLANATION LATER... 

"So... they then stormed off." Ben finishes.

There was a dangerously long silence, that held so much tension, a knife couldn't even cut through it. The people of the Pack that were recently full of joyish chanting... were now silent as a corpse. It was only after a few moments when our mother broke the silence.

"Everyone get out!" She orders the crowd in a menacingly, low tone of voice. This caused every soul in the room to rush out the door. Leaving us alone with the one being to send, even us, in a state of complete concern.

"Now mom I know it might seem bad... but I should tell you... we sure as hell won't leave things the way they are." I state in a, dare I say, trembling manner.

There was another pause, a pause that was soon cut short...

"YOU STUPID, SELFISH, IGNORANT, TESTOSTORONE-DRIVEN, IDIOTS!" She roars on the top of her lungs.

"MOM, MOM COME DOWN. I SAID WE WOULD FIX IT!" I state, trying to calm the five foot eight screaming banshee, that is our mother, down before she put herself into a coma. 

She then repeatably continued to curse at us, all while repeatedly cupping both of us beside the head. 

"How could you to chase them away! You know how long I've been waiting for both of you to find your mates, and finally bless me with grandchildren. Now you finally meet them and the second you do, you scare them away," At this point she stops hitting us, only to then begin to ramble with disappointment. "Oh Luna! Do you know what you two are doing to me! Your killing me. You are physically killing me. Does that please you, watching you mother suffer with the thought of you two never settling down and having a family. OH WHERE DID YOUR FATHER AND I GO WRONG!" She over exaggerates.

"Mom please, we already feel awful for what happened. We were just so happy that we couldn't keep ourselves under control." Ben says, melancholy dripping in each word.

We then both look at her with grim expressions, that soon resulted in her recollecting herself.

"Oh boys. I know what it's like to finally meet your other half. Trust me, when your father and I first met...," She looks at our utter disturbed faces and laughs. "Well lets just say I know the feeling. But you have to realize that these girls are humans. They can't just be mounted and claimed on the spot. You have to take things slow, get to know them, and lean them into our ways, if you want them to be with you." She says in a mentoring fashion. 

"We know mom, and the moment we find them again, which we will somehow, we'll be sure to take your advice." I say reassuringly.

At that moment Jeff walks in the gym and walks up to us with a respectable smile.

"Evening my Alphas, Sophie. The surrounding Pack leaders have requested a meeting in town right now and require your attendance." 

"Very well, we'll get ready and leave at once. Damien let's go." Ben states, then excuses himself to get dressed.

"We promise mom, we'll get things right." I say to mom before also excusing myself to get ready.

"Oh this is going to be very interesting indeed." Sophie says to herself before exiting the gym.

As everyone began doing their daily tasks, no one noticed the VERY pissed off Tiffany, who by now can't believe her plans on ruling the Cross Pack has hit a fault.

"I can't let this happen!"...

Elizabeth's POV

Bell, Luka and I have just reached our ending point of our jog. It's a beautiful late afternoon today and I thought it would be nice to get some fresh air with them, and forget about the incident at the bar.

"WHOO! That is just what the doctor ordered." I say with relief, relief that the pent up tension of yesterday was now gone.

"I haven't ordered anything of this fashion Elly." Bell replies in a nonchalant/teasing way.

"Oh haha, smart-ass." I reply with a chuckle. 

"I still can't believe those two guys! I mean what gives a guy the right to think he could come on to a girl like that and expect something back, besides a good beat down." Bell replies. I could sense the undeniable disgust in her voice.

"I don't know. But as a cop, I now how bad people can be. Just be thankful both of us got away safely," I state in a knowing manner, "With that little stunt you pulled with kneeing that dude in the sack, I wouldn't be surprised if he has trouble taken a piss for a week." I say. I couldn't help but laugh at the remembrance of that no good player wannabe, holding his nuts as if they were about to fall off.

"Ha! He had it coming thinking he could just touch me like that and get away with it. And what about your showdown with that 'smooth-talking' Damien guy. Going all Jackie Chan on him like that. As a doctor I can personally say that he would have to be inhuman to walk away fine after that." Bell laughs out.

"Ha your right, but hey, the police academy did show me how to handle assholes like him, no mater how cute. But even so, he did have the most amazingly chestnut colored eyes I've ever seen. And that body, Bell he looked like a chocolate colored hulk!" I can't help but shamelessly point out.

"I know how you feel. Besides the whole, tackle-me-up-against-the-wall deal, the man was breath-taking. But I swear to you that when he said that I was his, I couldn't help but notice his eyes turn a shade of dark amber..." Bell says with slight anxiety.

"It was probably just the lighting. A man's eyes can't just change color. As for calling you his... I have no clue. He was probably some asshole who had one to many." I can't help but wonder what his deal was.

Shrugging my shoulders we start to head back to the apartment.

We start heading down the sidewalk when all of a sudden I notice something suspicious. I couldn't help but notice in my peripheral vision, a figure coming in on us. I was about to turn around when I felt something cold press onto my back and over hear Bell gasp in horror. 

"Give me your money and no one gets hurt" the robber whispers in my ear.

"OK, OK just be cool." I state in a fake scared tone.

As I slowly slide one hand to my pocket to distract him, I quickly use the other to back-hand the gun out of his hand. After the gun is out of his reach I use this opportunity to elbow him in the nose. Without a dout, breaking it. He holds his bleeding nose and runs quickly down the street, further into town.

"LUKA GET HIM!" I order to Luka while unleashing him.

At this moment Luka runs full force towards the man. Bell and I try and catch up with him, but we can't get past the crowds of people flooding the streets. Before we knew it.. he was completely out of sight.

Damien's POV

"What do you mean you think there is a threat to these lands." Ben states sternly.

"We have gotten word of a secret, underground association of werewolf hunters. These people are killing our kind. We have gotten reports from other Packs, who have had some of their people killed because of them." Alpha Thomas, of the Carlson Pack, informs member of the conference with concern.

"Alpha Ben, Alpha Damien we called this meeting to warn you that the hunters may be heading to Chesterfield any day now." Alpha Tom, of the of the Smith Pack warns.

"Although we are positive you guys will be able to handle them, we thought best just to give you a heads up." Alpha Jack, of the Wilson pack clarifies. 

"Damien and I thank you for the warning. We will be sure to inform our pack of this news. With that being said, Damien and I will tell our top betas to be on alert for any suspicions. And I will keep you all on the radar in case anything about the hunters come up." 

With this being said Ben and I say our goodbyes and the meeting is over. Jeff, Ben and myself walk out the doors of the building and are walking to the car.

"What do you think of this new threat Damien?" Jeff states still walking to the car and facing forward..

"I think we can handle a few humans, who think they can get the upper-hand. I will speak to the members of the Pack and warn them to beware the outside of the Pack grounds. I will also inform those with children to keep an even more attentive eye on them. What do you think Ben?" I question to Ben.

"That will be fine brother. I just hope they don't touch a member of ours. If they do this will be a bloody massacre." Ben says with great seriousness.




Uncertain Desires Ch. 03



"Well maybe now we can..." Jeff didn't finish saying his sentence. He stops in his tracks and points to something coming our way.

"Is that Luka?" Jeff asks questionably.

"Who?" I say just as confused, while looking in the direction of where Jeff is pointing, just in time to see a black German Shepard come running down the street.

"It's Luka. Your mate, Elizabeth's dog." Jeff explains before he calls out to Luka, who then comes running to him wagging his tail happily.

"My mate! Wait Elizabeth..." Her name rolls off my tongue like a symphony, as I finally find out her name. "Wait, if he's here then she must be close by!" I then begin scanning the area for any sign of her. 

"Hold up my friend. Luka is her most prized and cherished dog, she would never just leave him alone in town..." Jeff states with concern.

At that moment a flustered man with a bloody nose rushes up to us.

"Please help me! That dog has been chasing after me for hours now!" The man hysterically explains, while Luka is ferociously bearing his teeth at him and growling.

It was then that a familiar intoxicating scent of lavender and roses faintly travels off the man. My wolf and I immediately realize that something was off about this man, who by now is telling his story to Jeff.

"This dirty blonde skank hit me and called her dog on me..." he voice drifted as I then harshly pick him easily off the ground by the collar on his shirt and growled.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ELIZABETH!" I roared in his face, mad at him, for not only insulting my mate, but having done something to her that caused her sick her dog on him.

"Nothing, I didn't do a thing, I swear!" The man cries.

"LIAR!" I scream at him.

"Damien, I'll handle this dip-shit. You two take Luka back to Elizabeth. If you can't find her on the street here's her address." Jeff takes the man, after handing me a piece of paper with Elizabeth's address on it, and puts the man in the car. He drives in the direction of the police station and leaves Luka in our care.

"Well now you have an excuse to see her again. Come on Damien, lets find Elizabeth and straighten this whole mess out. Hey! maybe she even has my mate with her to." Ben replies hopefully. He then begins walking in the direction that the dog came from.

"Yes and hopefully we don't end up on the floor again." I reply back. 

All three of us go off down the street. Once again, searching for my mate, Elizabeth.

To be continued...

Isabella's POV

BAM! 

The door slams against the wall of our apartment, as Elizabeth and I hurriedly rush in. It has been two hours since the incident in town. After finally excepting the fact that we lost Luka's trail, I decided it'd be best to go back home and think of another plan to find Luka. Eventually Elizabeth (who by then was hysterical about losing him) agreed to come back.

"Where the hell could he be! We looked all over town and couldn't find any trace of Luka. I swear if that guy harmed Luka at all...I'm going to...DAMMIT!" Elly yells as she then puts her fist through one of the living room walls, splitting her knuckle a bit, and causing her hand to bleed.

"Elly calm down, I realize that your upset about losing Luka, but that's no reason to not only destroy the place, but hurt yourself in the process," I say in a calming voice, while closing the apartment door, "Now sit down on the couch and let me look at your hand." I state after getting the first-aid kit from the closet in the hall, then joining her on the couch to bandage her up.

"What if we never find him Bell, or if he's hurt badly... It'll be all my fault." Elly says with a quiver in her voice, as her eyes slowly begin to swell with tears.

"Hey now, Luka's a smart dog. I assure you that he wouldn't let some burglar wannabe get the upper-hand. So there's no need to get yourself all worked up. Okay? I reassuringly say as I gently apply disinfectant on Elly's wound and wrap her hand in fresh bandage wrap. 

"Yah, your probably right, I'm getting myself worried for nothing. Thanks for helping sis," She thanks, as she then leans close to me and hugs me tightly. " I should give Jeff a call, and tell him to keep an eye out for Luka." Elly then gets up and heads to the kitchen phone to call Jeff. 

I begin to put the emergency supplies back into the kit, all while trying to believe in what I told Elly was true, and that Luka really was okay. Knowing how crushed Elizabeth would be to discover him hurt or god forbid... Dead. It was at that moment, that I heard a knock at the door...

Ben's POV

After a couple of hours of searching the town with no luck, we both head to the apartment complex, where Jeff said Elizabeth lived, with Luka happily following along. Damien, while upset we didn't find her, was excited to see the kind of place his mate lived in and enthusiastically hoping to see her. I on the other hand was just hoping she also had my mate there as well, so I could finally get the chance to introduce myself properly, and find out her name.

"So Damien, what's your plan if Elizabeth's home?" I say with curiosity as we walk along to her apartment.

"Hmm, how about when we show up at her door I tell her in trade for Luka, she comes with us to the Pack and when she does I use some charm to make her stay forever." Damien says, so sure his plan was full-proof.

"Damien, we should take mothers advice and take it slow. Otherwise we'll just repeat the incident at the bar. " I state, trying not to roll my eyes at his dumbfounded idea of a plan.

"Ya your right. But I'd just love to see that fire in her eyes again, like at the bar. I also want to see her do more of her combat techniques, she seems to have potential. I can't wait to have a couple sparing matches with her, and a couple rounds in the bed doesn't sound too bad either. " Damien says the last part with eagerness.

"Try and keep it in your pants Dame. She hates your guts right now, and I highly doubt she'd be willing to jump into bed with you." I state 

"Well let's just get her dog back to her, if what Jeff said to us about him being very important to her is true, I can only imagine how badly she's suffering. So lets go." Damien states as he heads towards the entrance of the apartment complex.

I head in behind him.

The lobby was impressively humongous. The floors were a freshly polished red marble, that left a pleasant lemony scent in the air . Clean black lounge chairs were aligned equally alongside the walls. Walls that were painted in a cream white and were covered with expensive paintings, along with a huge glass chandelier placed in the middle of the ceiling. The front wooden desk was dark brown with purple lilacs in fancy vases on top of it. The receptionist was a clean shaved man, wearing a black suit going about his business. By the looks of it, Elizabeth was doing quite good for herself, to be living in a place like this. 

"Crap!" Damien says angrily, startling not only me, but the receptionist as well.

"What is it!" I state on full alert. 

"Jeff gave us the address to the complex, but not the number to her apartment." Damien says with annoyance.

"What do we do now? The guy won't willingly tell us her room number."

"Oh, I bet he will if I..." Damien begins to state menacingly, but is cut short when Luka casually trots over to the nearby elevator and jumps on his hind legs to press the "OPEN" button with his nose and walks in the elevator, then turns to us gesturing us to follow.

"I'll be Damned." I state, impressed with the dogs actions.

"Well I guess the dog knows where he's going so let's follow him," Damien states getting into the elevator with Luka, "You comin Ben?"

"Ya, let's go see your woman." I state getting in the elevator with Luka and Damien, who now is smiling at that comment. The elevator doors close and Luka presses the twelfth floor button, We then wait patently to arrive on her apartment floor. 

Damien's POV

The elevator doors open and Luka walks out as if he's done this a thousand times, it's at that moment something familiar catches my attention. 

We walk down the hallway and I faintly smell her scent. My wolf stirs restlessly within me, begging me to find her and claim her. I follow the scent until I reach a door near the end of the hallway that's a few feet away to a staircase, room two hundred and one. 

"Well I guess this is the place." I state.

"Go ahead Damien, knock on the door." Ben says, ushering me to the door.

"I know, I know, just give me a minute to think." I say haltingly. 

"A minute? What happened to the confident man that believed Elizabeth would jump into his bed and everything would be great, Uh? What happened to that?" Ben says in a patronizing manner.

"I just don't want to mess this up. I already screwed up my first chance with her, and I don't need her hating me even more than she already does." I say arguably. 

"Just knock on the door, and you know... the best part of her hating your guts already is that you can't do anything else to make her hate you even more." Ben says with a slight chuckle.

"Well that's encouraging. Lets just give her, her dog back." I sigh to Ben as Luka barks agreeably, I then hesitantly knock on the door.

A few moments later the door opens.

Ben's POV

"Hello, who is i... Well, well, well... If it isn't Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee. So to what do I owe this not so pleasant surprise." My mate answers the door and states bitterly.

I make a silent blessing to the goddess Luna for the reunitement of my mate. I can't help but look her over. She seemed to have been recently exercising from what I could make out from her outfit. She was humbly wearing a slightly over-sized purple hoody, that although didn't leave much to the eye, couldn't conceal her deliciously, curvaceous hips and bodacious breasts that enchanted any man to grasp onto. She was also wearing tight, black, Nike running tights that hugged seductively against her womanly shaped legs.

Finishing the outfit was white sneakers. I noticed the shimmer of a silver, heart shaped locket necklace, that dangled innocently upon her neck. I couldn't help but imagine her sprawled across my bed completely naked with only that locket, making passionate love together, where we'd later lay in bed carelessly embraced in each others warmth. Pulling myself out of my thoughts, I then proceed to shove Damien to the side while he grunts disappointingly, I then face directly in-front of the wonderful being at the door. 

"Well we thought it might be nice to return him to you." I say ambitiously, gesturing to Luka who then jumps on her happily wagging his tail, and starts licking her face. 

"OH MY GOD LUKA!," My mate says joyfully, hugging Luka "ELIZABETH COME HERE!"

Elizabeth's POV 

I dial Jeff's number, ignoring the numbing pain I feel in my hand, and wait for him to answer. I try to believe what Bell said about Luka, but I can't help and worry. If anything were to happen to him I don't know how I could move past it. We've been through so much over the years, he's had my back for me ever since I picked him up after the academy. It pains me to know that I was the one to cause him to run off, if I had known this would have happened I wouldn't have gotten him involved.

"Lieutenant Jeff Bergeron" Jeff answers the phone in a professional tone of voice.

"Hey Jeff, it's Elizabeth."

"Elizabeth! How you doing? Enjoying your time off?" Jeff friendly questions.

"I've been better. I'm calling because I lost Luka during a chase down with a robber, and was wondering if you'd mind keeping an eye out for him." I state sadly, hopeful he would agree.

"Oh yes Luka. Don't worry about a thing kiddo, I found him in town along with the robber and he's in custody. Luka is fine and is also being dropped off by some close 'friends' of mine. He should be brought over to your place soon." Jeff reassuringly informs.

"Thank you Jeff! I was worried sick that he had gotten hurt. So who are these..." At that moment I hear Bell yell for me to come to the door.

"Listen Jeff I gotta go I think they're here. And again thank you for your help." I state excitedly.

"No problem Elizabeth. I'll talk to you soon." At that moment Jeff hangs up the phone.

I hang up the phone and rush to the door. 

"LUKA!" I state in extreme glee, as I join Bell in hugging him.

I go on my knees in the doorway to get a better angle at Luka all while laughing in relief and letting tears of joy slide down my cheeks.

I look up to thank the 'friends' of Jeff for bringing him back, but I am then dumbstruck with disbelief.

"YOU!" I shout, unable to believe who I'm seeing. 

Damien's POV 

I can't believe it, we finally get to Elizabeth's apartment and Ben's mate is the one who answers it. My wolf growls with disappointment, disappointment that was soon cut short.

"LUKA! Isabella you were right " Elizabeth's angelic voice say's as she takes Lukainto her arms.

At that moment I take in the sight of my mate. She appeared to have gone running somewhere. She was wearing a undeniably sexy black sports bra that gave a perfect view of her ample C-cupped chest, and showed off her well toned stomach. She was also wearing tight, black compression running shorts that hugged magnificently upon her voluminous and perky ass, that begged to be squeezed.

My mind began picturing her naked silhouette on top of my own, my arms encircled upon her waist to grasp onto her beckoning ass that called to me so, as I relentlessly thrust my well endowed cock into her awaiting pussy, until both of us can't take anymore. We would then collapse our worn out bodies into each others loving arms, reminiscing of the passionate lovemaking that had just occurred.

"YOU!"

"Well nice to see you to." I say to Elizabeth, while trying not to laugh.

"What the fuck are you two doing here!" Elizabeth growls in anger

"As you can see my sexy kitten, we have come to graciously return your lost dog to you."

"Wait a minute, you guys are the friends of Jeff?" Elizabeth say shocked.

"Well you could say we're friends. We go way back." I respond knowingly.

"Don't call m..." Elizabeth begins to say before Ben interrupts.

"OK, OK, I know where this is going, so let me just say that my brother and I are very sorry about what happened at the Iron Horse." Ben states in a apologetic manner.

"Oh you are, are you?" I over hear Ben's mate, no scratch that, Isabella, say.

"Yes. We realize what we did was wrong and inappropriate. So we'd like to make amends." I say meaningfully, while extending my hand out to Elizabeth to get her off the floor.

"And why the hell should we even consider forgiving either of you two. Especially after the way the way you treated us!" Elizabeth bitterly states, as she slaps my hand away to then stand up and stand next to Isabella and Luka.

"I agree with you a hundred percent, and you have the reason to. What happened at the bar... Let's just say we were a little overwhelmed by your presence." Ben states in a gruff voice.

"Oh... And why's that? " Isabella questions, raising her eyebrow.

"Well for one thing you both are stunningly beautiful." I say lovingly.

"Asshole, flattery will get you no where." Elizabeth snaps at me.

"You may call me Damien." I say bluntly.

"Oh right, Damien. Sorry I just got used to calling you asshole, and jerk, that I forgot your name." Elizabeth states, all while giving a fake apologetic smile.

"And you may call me Ben. I would also like to apologize to you most of all Isabella. I had no right to lay my hands on you the way I did. I hope you can see it in your heart to forgive me." Ben states to Isabella, causing her to blush slightly.

"Well... if your acknowledging that what you did was wrong, I guess I can forgive you," Isabella says to Ben, trying to make her blushing face go unnoticed, it didn't work. "What do you say Elizabeth?"

"Fine I guess, Jeff did trust you two enough to get Luka back to me so... apology accepted" Elizabeth states.

"Great! So as a way to redeem ourselves, we'd like to invite both of you out to dinner tonight." I proclaim enthusiastically. 

"Don't you work fast." Elizabeth comments.

"We just want to prove to you ladies, that we are not the types of guys you met at the bar." Ben says with a smile.

"Let my sis and I talk it over for a minute. Excuse us." Elizabeth says politely before her, Isabella and Luka calmly walk into the apartment and shuts the door behind them. Leaving Ben and I alone. 

"So Damien... human twin mates. How ironic." Ben says, letting out a slight chuckle.

Isabella's POV 

We walk back into the apartment and close the door, I still can't believe the events that just occurred.

"Whoa, didn't see that one coming." I state in shock.

"I know. So should we take them up on their offer?" Elly questions. 

"Well they did seem genuine about wanting to make up for what they did. And they did come all this way to give Luka to us. So... Maybe we could at least give them the benefit of the doubt." I say persuadingly.

"And if Jeff trusted them enough with Luka, I guess they can't be that bad. Maybe it would be nice to take them up on their offer." Elly states, already knowing the answer to the guys question.

We open the door and Ben and Damien are still standing there, waiting patiently for our answer.

"OK, we'll go out on a date with you guys." Elly states bluntly.

"Wonderful! let's.." Ben begins to say before I interrupt.

"Under a few conditions!" I state with seriousness. "First, we drive ourselves to and from where ever we go. Second condition, you both will keep your hands to yourselves. The final condition is we chose where we go." I finish with authority.

Both of them quickly look at each other and then turn back with wide smiles.

"It's a deal!" The guys say in unison.

"So where would you ladies like to go and at what time?" Ben says.

"Since it's three right now... meet us at eight o'clock at 'The Barn'." I inform

"Hmm, a casual eatery. Thought you ladies would want something a little more upscale, rather then just a family steakhouse." Damien replies, slightly surprised.

"What can we say, doesn't take a lot of money to have a good time." Elly shrugs.

"Yes, I guess it really doesn't. Sounds good. See ya there!." Damien says to Elly with a smile, then turns to the elevator to leave.

"I look forward to this evening. Until then" Ben says to me with a charming grin before following Damien to the elevator and leaving. 

"Well this will prove to be an interesting first experience." Elly states out loud to me. She then causally walks into the apartment to get prepare for tonight.

"You can say that again. Considering neither of us have been on a date, I can just imagine how this is going to turn out." I say out loud to Elly. I close the door and go into my bedroom to get ready for this evening. 

Little did either of them know of the man standing in the doorway of the staircase, listening to their entire conversation. The man goes down the staircase leading to the lobby, all while taking out his cell phone and making a call.

"Hey boss I have something very interesting to tell you." The man coldly chuckles, as he makes his way out of the complex.

Elizabeth's POV

It's around seven forty when Bell and I arrive at the restaurant. It's such a peaceful night, hardly anybody was out, so there was no worry about traffic and getting bombarded with people on the sidewalk. A nice start for tonight. I park the car and look at my cellphone for the time.

"We might need to wait a bit, we still have twenty minutes." I say to Bell.

"No prob. I need to say something to you before hand." Bell states in a worried tone.

"What is it?"

"I have no idea what to do. I mean, what do we talk about? What if I get something in my teeth? What if we run out of things to say?.." Bell nervously begins to ramble.

"Whoa, whoa! Bell calm down, it's not like we are getting sent into battle. Just stay calm and be yourself." I say to Bell reassuringly.

"Ya your right, I'm just being melodramatic . Let's just go in and get a table." Bell says, letting out a breath that I bet she's been holding, and gets out of the car.

We were just about to enter the restaurant, when a sudden scream for help catches our attentions.

"Did you hear that?" Bell suspiciously questions.

"Yeah, stay here I'll go check it out." 

"No way! I'm not staying here while you go off to investigate some strange noise. What if you get in trouble? I'm coming with." Bell declares before following me in the direction of the scream. 

After sighing at my sisters stubbornness, Bell and I cautiously begin to walk down the sidewalk, trying to trace where we heard the noise. It leads to an alley. Now my instincts told me that you never go into the dark alley, but I had to know if the person screaming needed help.

"Hello! Is everything OK?" I yell into the alley.

No answer.

"Come on Elly they aren't here, maybe someone just saw a rat or whatever. If we keep messing around we're going to be late for our date." Bell say's suggestively.

"I don't know. What if there hurt? Let me just go in and take a quick look around." I reply back, as I slowly and cautiously walk into the alley.

As I slowly creep into the alley, I look around and find nothing out of the ordinary. There's trash cans over filled with week old garbage, and rats running away from my presence. I feel uneasy about this situation and it causes me to be on high alert. Next to one of the trash cans I find a rusty pipe, I grab it and hold it ready to swing. I still don't see anybody, this is getting suspicious.

"See. Nothing. Now lets just..." I over hear Bell say, I turn to look at her and my eyes widen in shock.

Bell is struggling in the arms of a strange man. He's holding his hand to her mouth to block out any noise.




Uncertain Desires Ch. 04



"ASSHOLE LET HER GO!" I roar to the man running up to him. I swing the pipe striking him in his ribs, causing him to fall to ground on his knees. Prying Bell out of his grasp, I turn her in the direction to the restaurant.

"Bell run!" I instruct.

Before Bell even had a chance to move, the man then brings two fingers to his mouth and makes a quick whistle. At that moment I hear an engine start. Van lights turn on, and four men jump out of the vehicle, all wearing black face masks.

They run past the man on the ground and head towards our direction. I push Bell behind me and I hand her the pipe. One man comes at me with full force and I use his momentum to hip toss him into the trash cans. Right before I can recover my balance, a man comes up behind me, ready to strike me in the head with a bat when...

"Elly look out!" Bell warns before she takes the pipe and hits the man hard on his back thigh, causing him to fall. 

I use this moment to thrust my knee into the mans face, breaking his nose and causing him to hold his nose in pain. I try and focus on the others when all of a sudden I get tackled to the ground by one of the fatter men, getting the wind knocked out of me.

"Elly! Get off..." Bell gets cut short when one of the men lunges quickly at her, and holds a chloroform soaked cloth to her nose until she passes out in the mans arms. Who then drops her hard on the ground.

"Guess your MUTT boyfriends aren't coming to your rescue, you little bitch!" The man on top of me cruelly taunts.

"The fuck are you talking about boyfriends. Why don't you guys just get your repulsive hands off of us and leave, before I get up and kick all you pathetic asses! You lard- assed prick. " I reply sharply, then head butt him in the mouth, causing him to bite his tongue and drool blood.

"You little cunt! Andrew give me that cloth. After you and Jerry help get Freddy out of the garbage!" The guy orders, taking the drugged cloth and harshly putting it to my face.

As I try and get the cloth off, I over hear the guy who I kneed in the face, whose name I understand is Jerry, say something to the guy named Andrew.

"What do we do with these bitches?" Jerry asks to Andrew, as they walk towards Freddy in the trash cans .

"Boss wants them brought to headquarters. Says when those Cross Pack Alphas come to retrieve them, he has something special in store for those little dogs." Andrew replies out loud with a triumphant smile.

At that moment I start to feel the effects of the drug beginning to work and I begin to fade out. Right before I black-out, I couldn't help but hear a menacing growl. 

Ben's POV 

"Are you sure these gifts are enough?" I say questionably. While focusing on driving to the restaurant.

"Yes I am." Damien says as he looks at the two bundles of thirty white roses and two deluxe heart shaped boxes of gourmet Belgium chocolates.

"Your talking about girls who had a choice of any restaurant in town and chose a regular family steakhouse. I don't think they'll mind how many gifts we give them. Damien responds at the stupid question.

"You got a point there." I say agreeably.

We arrive at the restaurant and I get first to help Damien with the gifts. Once we both have our own gifts in hand, we begin to walk to the entrance. 

"Damien wait." I say suddenly.

"What is it?" Damien states, as we both stop in our tracks.

"Let's just make sure we're on the same page. We are not going to rush things. We need to make sure the girls are very conformable with us before we tell them the truth about everything and the real reason of why we did what we did at the bar." I tell Damien sternly, not wanting to repeat the past incident again.

"I know brother. I just hope when Elizabeth realizes the truth about us being werewolves, that she won't reject me." Damien responds worryingly.

"I know what you mean. Lets just make this night as special for them as possible." I say to Damien, continuing to walk the entrance of the building.

We are just about to enter when suddenly Damien stops dead in his tracks, its at that moment that I can see why. I faintly smell the scent of both our mates and it reaches the doorway and heads off down the sidewalk.

"Why would they go down..." I begin but am soon cut short, when we hear a harsh yell in the direction where the girls scents were.

"You little cunt!" 

"My mate! She's in danger!." Damien says quickly, he then drops the gifts and runs full force towards the sound.

"FUCK!" I distraughtly state before dropping my own gifts and join Damien hurriedly down the sidewalk.

We see van lights in the distance and as we get closer to them the scent of our mates become stronger, but their scent is mixed with something undeniable that causes the wolf in me to growl...fear.

Damien's POV 

I make it to an alley first, and the scene that I see drives me close to madness. 

There are five masked men, two of which are getting another out of fallen trash can's, one of the men appears to have a broken nose, another is holding his ribs with great force. However its the fat one that had my full attention on. He was the largest man here and he was on top an unconscious Elizabeth, I see in my peripheral vision Isabella, who is also laying on the ground unconscious.

At that moment Ben arrives by my side and he is equally enraged. I'm unable to hold back a menacing growl, my wolf immediately taking over, I then transform.

"Fuck their here!" I overhear the guy holding his ribs say. 

"YES THE FUCK WE ARE!" Ben roars angrily at the men, he then grabs the man holding his ribs by the neck and looks at one of the two men holding the man in the trash cans.

"Now, If you don't want your little boyfriend here to get his neck broken I suggest you tell us your business here, and the reason these two girls here are passed out. Ben states. Showing his seriousness, he tightens his grip on the man's throat, causing him to squeal. 

I however start to get into a pouncing stance, never taking the man on top of my mate out of my sight, all while listening for the mans response.

"Okay man be cool we'll talk!," The one of the two men exclaims. "We were assigned a task to capture these women and bring back to our boss, in order to lure you guys there."

"Wait! Your part of that Association that is going around killing our kind!" Ben angrily shouts.

"That's right you werewolf scum! And we're here to make sure you guys end up just like the rest of your kind that we've killed. Perfectly mounted on our bosses wall!" The man on top of my mate says as he slowly begins to stand.

"Oh! Is that right." Ben states in a calm tone.

I then hear Ben, through our werewolf bond, a telepathic command.

"DAMIEN! KILL THEM All!"

I immediately let my wolf take over. I launch at the fat lard that dare touch my mate, let alone talk about all those innocent people, as if they were mere trophy's of a hunt. Knocking him down on his back, I instinctively rip his sagging throat out. As he lays there holding his gushing throat I crush his skull with such a force, chunks of his skull splatter all across the ground. My eyes then focus on the three men near the fallen trash can's. I manage to get two of them on the ground. I use my razor sharp claws to slash their jugulars, crimson blood drips from my mouth and sprays the walls of the alley, the coppery smell of fresh blood pollutes the air...

Using his friends gruesome death as a distraction, Andrew uses this opportunity to sneak back to the van. He quickly drives off, leaving his one living companion in the grasp of one pissed off Ben.

I recollect myself mentally, pushing down my killer instincts enough to talk to Ben telepathically.

"What should we do with him?" I question to Ben, gesturing to the last guy trembling in Ben's hold.

"As much as I would love to snap his weak little neck, lets bring him to the grounds for interrogation. In the mean time I will have to be satisfied with this." Ben states before he tightens his grip even more around the guys neck and bashing his head off the wall enough to knock him out. Ben drops him to the ground with a thud.

I quickly use this time to rush to Elizabeth's side. She appears to have a few scrapes from the guy being on top of her, but is otherwise OK. My wolf and I whimper at the realization of getting her involved and harmed in something she had nothing to do with.

"Damien look here." Ben urges. Turning around I see Ben protectively and gently cradling Isabella in his arms. He ushers to a cloth on the ground.

I walk over to the cloth and sniff it. A familiar scent fills my nose, as I discover how the girls got unconscious.

"Chloroform." I state bluntly. 

"Indeed it is. We need to bring our mates to our pack grounds. Now that the hunters know of them, we need to make sure their out of harms way." Ben says while nuzzling Isabella's neck soothingly.

"Go bring the car around, I transformed and destroyed my clothing. I'll stay here and watch over the girls and our little friend." I state. 

I lay down beside Elizabeth, gently nudging her head until its laying on top of my torso, to make sure she's somewhat conformable. It also was an act of making sure she was protectively secured by my side.

"Alright. Just stay here and I'll be right back with the car." Ben states, as he slowly and reluctantly places Isabella gently next to Elizabeth and starts running towards the car, while mumbling something under his breath about him being the only guy allowed to touch Isabella once she was on pack grounds.

"So much for taking it slow, huh Ben." I mentally link over to Ben, with a chuckle. 

I look down at my beloved kitten and start licking her face affectionately.

"Oh my love... please understand the truth."

To be continued...



Uncertain Desires Ch. 05



Uncertain Desires

Disclaimer: Hello wonderful readers! Finally finished chapter five. I also took comments about the povs into consideration. So I decided to write the story in this format. If you guys like it, I'll write future chapters like this. Your comments will be great in determining whether I should. Hope you like it <3 So with out keeping you waiting, heres chapter five!

CHAPTER FIVE

"Ugh..." Isabella painstakingly remarks, as she begins to wake-up, placing a hand onto her throbbing head.

Opening her eyes, she slowly begins to take in her surroundings. "Where the hell am I?" Isabella wonders precariously in her mind. Upon discovering herself in an enormously furnished bedroom, far greater then her own.

The walls were a clean polished wood. Across the room situated open, ebony framed glass doors that appeared to lead to a balcony. Thick velvet curtains were draped to the side, letting in the fresh night air along with glistening moonlight. She also notices black bookshelves near the far corner of the room, stocked with numerous amounts of books. On the far side of a wall there was a closet door and black drawers that was next to a full sized body mirror. A giant brick fireplace illuminated the room, giving out an harmonious atmosphere.

She herself was laying in the center of a large king sized bed, with white silken sheets laid underneath her, and four plush white pillows against her head. A giant dark-brown fur blanket hugged comfortably around her silhouette. It's then that she makes a startling discovery... "I'm naked!"

"I see your awake. How are you feeling?" An abrupt yet soft feminine voice gently questions, slightly startling Isabella.

Looking over to the location of the voice, a women is leaning against the closed bedroom door. She appeared quite tall with an athletic build. Her golden tan gave her a healthy glow and made her emerald eyes stunningly shine. Isabella couldn't help but notice her chestnut hair, that was cut short to her head and gave her an almost childish demeanor. However, her build counteracted that thought almost immediately.

"Fine I gu..." At that moment she recalls the events in the alley.

"Where am I! Where are my clothes? What time is it? Is Elizabeth OK! What happened to the thugs? Who are you? "

"Whoa! Calm down. My name is Jessica, I'm the nurse around here." Jessica calmly states, with a light chuckle at the girls obvious uneasiness.

When the alpha's had instructed her to watch over their mates while they were out finishing business, she couldn't have been more ecstatic. She was eager to meet the future alpha females as soon as she heard the announcement of the alphas finding them in the gym. She'd hoped of becoming good friends with the women, well...if they didn't mind her position as just a mere Omega that is.

After being found abandoned and near death in the woods by her old pack. To whom decided it best to leave her after she failed to kill a rogue were, and instead was beaten to a pulp by the rogue wolf. However, once Jeff found her, she immediately recognized Jeff as her mate and vice versa.

Ben and Damien were very understanding upon her arrival, and welcomed her to the Cross Pack with open arms. She found it difficult to really start warming up to the pack at first, but eventually became accustomed to the packs routine. Everyone was so nice to her, they made her feel welcome and loved, unlike her old pack did. She was even promoted as the pack nurse, after she found it boring to just do house work all day.

"I had to strip you to examine you for injuries. I just finished tending to your sister, she's fine as well. It's about 10 pm, you've been unconscious for a few hours now. As for the thugs, I can honestly say that you won't have to worry about them anymore." She reassures and walks up to Isabella's side of the bed, to sit down on a chair beside her, smiling neighborly.

Isabella took in a well needed deep breath, attempting to calm her nerves. Sitting up in the bed, she lays her back against the pillows. Clenching the blanket closer to her body, she decides it's best not to fully trust the person before her, not until she gets a good explanation of her being in this strange place.

"Thanks for your help Jessica... but you still haven't informed me where I am."

"That's not my place to say. However, I can tell you that you're in very safe hands." Jessica guarantees.

Just when Isabella was about to argue with her for not telling her where she is, a familiar husky voice interrupts in the doorway.

"I'm glad to see your doing alright love." Ben says happily, as he hurriedly walks in the room over to us and stands next to Jessica. She then stands up and greets him.

"Greetings my al..." Jessica begins to welcome, but is cut short by Ben.

"Jessica you did well, but I'm here now. Please wait with Adam down in the chambers with our 'guest'. I'll be down in a little while." Ben strongly orders to Jessica, who then courteously excuses herself and exits the room. Not before quickly turning around and waving goodbye to Isabella.

"Ben what's going on? Why am I here? And what happed to Elizabeth and those thugs? " Isabella says sharply, finally having enough of not knowing anything about what happened.

"Relax dove, I realize how your probably filled with questions about your situation. Let me start with those men." Ben begins as he sits down on the chair and looks down at his mate fondly before starting his explanation.

"Damien and I had just arrived at the restaurant, when we suddenly heard a scream down in the alleyway. When we got there you had already been unconscious, and Elizabeth was surrounded by the thugs. We got rid of the men that attacked you and your sister, however one of them got away..."

"Wait, what did you do to those men who attacked us?" By the look on his face he was clearly getting ready to face the inevitable.

"What I mean is that we killed the men who attacked you and Elizabeth." Ben states candidly.

"You what!" Isabella distraughtly barks, as she rushes out of the bed to stand in front of Ben. "Why did they have to die. Couldn't you have just knocked'em out or something. Do you realize how much trouble you put us in, dear god!"

"Your so beautiful..." Ben yearningly pants.

Stopping her ranting, Isabella notices something peculiar happening to Ben. His eyes were intensely focused on her and were now cast down low, sporting a facial expression similar to a starving man looking at a free buffet table. His nostrils had also seemed to have become in-flared. Ben had notably clutched his hands onto the handles off his chair, and was clawing the wooden skin with his nails. It was as if he was restraining himself...

Upon his scrutinizing gaze, Isabella can't help but insecurely look down at herself. Only to discover something that almost makes her pass out again. In her haste of getting out of bed, she forgot one important fact...SHE'S STILL NAKED! Her whole body was openly displayed for Ben to see. Not only that, but the night air had caused her nipples to harden and stand erect on her chest.

"Ahh! Close your eyes, don't look!" Isabella hysterically screams to Ben, as she quickly proceeds to rush back under the covers, but not before whipping a pillow unexpectedly into Bens face. Ben annoyingly grunts at her reaction and says something that puts her on full alert.

"There's no point in hiding yourself from me, my dear. You might as well get used to me seeing you like this." Ben states with a hint of disappointment in his tone, upon seeing his mate conceal her superb body from him.

"What the hell do you mean by that! It's my body and I choose those able to look at it. You on the other-hand, don't have any say in the matter!" Isabella states defensively. Then pops her head from underneath the covers to receive her answer.

"Well before I explain, let me get something out in the open first. You see Damien and I... are not what we appear to be." Ben states apprehensively.

"So then, what exactly are you? Besides from being a pervert." Isabella quietly ridicules. She begins to cautiously back away in the bed, which had not gone unnoticed by Ben, who slowly inched closer to her.

"We're what you call werewolves." Ben states with concern laced in his voice.

"Haha! You've got to be kidding me. Your a werewolf. Well what do ya know, it just so happens I'm Dracula. HA! Thanks for your help and a good laugh, but could I just have my clothes and sister back so we can be on our way?" She giggles a few times, and sat up on the bed.

"You aren't going anywhere!" Ben roars, he then rushes over to the bed and pounces on top of me.

I'm then roughly pushed back down on the bed, then look up to see a very agitated Ben above me.

"Wha..what is the meaning of this! Listen, I really am grateful for your help. Seriously I am, but I need to go." Isabella says, struggling to get out of Bens grasp, all while trying to keep the blanket covering her. He then grabs hold of both of her wrists with one of his hands, and plants them securely over her head.

"You will not put yourself in harms way, especially with that guy on the loose. Never again will I allow my mate get herself in danger." Ben protectively proclaims, as he glares at her trying to get out of his hold.

Stopping all struggling, Isabella looks questionably up at Ben.

"Your mate?" She states curiously.

"Yes, my mate." Bens attitude brightens up a bit, but he still continues to maintain a tight grasp on her wrists.

"My kind instantly knows who our mates are by the scent of the other individual, it's a scent that causes us to desire that other person stronger than any human could ever feel for someone. That's why I did what I did at the bar, I had to have you. One would say it's similar to a soul mate, only much stronger. Mates to my species are the ones who will complete our souls forever, someone that we will love for as long as we breathe. In other words... Our one true love." Ben enlightens me, while gently caressing my cheek with his free hand.

"That's absurd! We hardly even know each other. How could you possibly even consider me your "true love". Not only that, but to think that I would believe that you are a werewolf. GET OFF ME YOU CRAZY MANIAC!" Isabella furiously spits in Bens face.

"I'm telling the truth! But if you need further enlightenment, how about this..." Ben says calculatingly, as he lets me go and gets off the bed. To then begin to undress.

"Whoa there fella... No need to start dropping your pants!" Isabella says, blushing instantly upon his coarse of action. Continuing to watch my face diligently, he slowly uncovers his flawless chocolate-rich skin, that urged me to try and touch it.

"Trust me little one, it will be much easier to show what I need to without them."

"If having to take off your clothes is necessary, then I don't think I'm interested to know." Isabella tries to lie, ashamed of falling for his strip tease.

"Is that so? Well, for someone who says their not interested, you sure keep an intensive eye on me." With a smug chuckle, Ben finishes undressing. He then stood before me, naked as the day he was born. His imposing physique left me in awe. His rippling body was enough to make any man, or beast for that matter, fear him. Towering muscles traveled for as long as the eye could see. Which from my point of view, was alot.

Dark dreadlocks poured down his silhouette in a decorative fashion. Short curly chest hairs were neatly arranged on his dark-bulging chest, invitingly coaxing my hands to run through the soft follicles. My eyes can't help but to curiously travel lower. Isabella notices something that causes her heart to skip a beat. Just above his perfectly muscular legs, was his immensely large, thick member. It stood hard against his 8 pack, at an estimated 12 inches long. I quickly look up into his eyes, embarrassingly realizing that I've spent an abnormally amount of time staring at Ben.

"I'm pleased to know you like what you see." Ben proudly snickers at me.

"Don't get too full of yourself! I've just never actually seen a man's body to such a degree... At least, not from a guy who isn't just seeing me to check them for scabies, or that's been stabbed by some vengeful criminal." Isabella nervously mumbles underneath her breath.

"I'm glad to be of service to you."

"Just get on with what you wanted to show me!"

"Very well, just please don't panic when you see." Ben worryingly informs.

Isabella continues watching Ben, who suddenly begins transforming. His eyes had turned a dark amber, much darker than what she thought she saw at the bar. His ears got to a sharp point, while his teeth began to elongate... into incredibly sharp, long fangs! Along with his face that began to grow into long black furred snout. Before she could even blink, he had morphed into a humongous black wolf.

Ben then looks deep into her eyes, fear undeniably within them as she takes in the sight and realization before her...Ben really is a werewolf!

Noticing her shaking figure and petrified facial expression, Ben emits a loud whine, and positions himself upon the floor on his stomach, while flattening out his ears to appear less threatening.

"I...I...how could this be." Isabella whimpers, lost for words, as she tries to take in all this new information. She then cover her face with her hands, and diverts her eyes from the 6 foot wolf that continued to stare at her with pleading eyes.

"I know it's a lot to take in, but understand that I would never harm you. I love you and want nothing more than for us to live happily together." Ben says lovingly, after he must have transformed back into a man when she looked away. He then gently consoles her distressed body, still naked from when he changed. Soothingly, Ben continued to rub his hands alongside the length of my back. Which despite my obvious dismay, eventually calmed me. But replaced it with questionable lust.

His fragrance, a perfect mixture of grass and fresh spring water, enticed Isabella's very being. Hypnotically causing her to turn in his arms, and bury her face deep into his chest to gather as much of his essence as possible. Ultimately, she felt Ben starting to tentatively kiss up and down the crook of her neck.

"See my sweet, you too can feel the mate pull. This is proof of our destined futures together, just except fate and become mine." Ben coos seductively in her ear. He then advanced his hands down to the outskirts of the blanket covering his loves small frame, in attempt to pry it off her body.

Coming out of her rapture, Isabella then flusteredly gets out of Bens grasp.

"This...NO! Elizabeth and I are leaving this instant! I don't know how this mate thing works...but what I do know is that people don't fall in love with each other by smell, or whatever you called it! I don't want any part in this or you. I have a wonderful sister, a comfortable apartment and a successful job. I don't have time for some guy... no scratch that, delusional werewolfish monster, feeding me bullshit!" Isabella yells while shoving Ben off of the bed, causing him to fall hard onto the floor.

"Isabella! You will not speak to me in such a way EVER again!" Ben says through gritted teeth. He stands up from the floor to furiously glare at her, which causes her to shudder in fear.

As if sensing my uneasiness, his face then softens into a sorrowful frown. Realizing that once again he unintentionally made Isabella wary of him.

"Oh Isabella... The last thing I wanted to do was to frighten or anger you. But your mine, and I have no intention of giving you up to anyone." Ben clarifies sternly, "Now, I have things to attend to. I'll come check on you later. Just try and get some rest, until I return." Ben finalizes after quickly getting dressed, then turning away from her with a hurt expression painted clear on his face and heads towards the door.

"Be..." But before Isabella could even call out to him, he was already gone. The remembrance of Ben's hurt face left her feeling oddly guilty and shameful. An odd feeling, due to the fact that it isn't a new thing for her to tell guys off. In fact, she did it quite often without a moments hesitation.

But this time, upon seeing Ben leave, Isabella had this overwhelming sensation to chase after him, embrace him with all her strength and apologize until he smiled again.

"What am I thinking?" Isabella says out loud to herself, all while shaking her head and dismissing the thought. "This is no time for nonsense, I still need to find clothes and Elly, before he comes back."

Finally having enough of being in this place any longer, Isabella scrambles out of bed ,and while ignoring her nudity, heads toward the drawers in search for clothes.

********

"Fuck...my head." Elizabeth groggily grumbles out loud, as she wakes up with the most mind-blowing headache. Ha, mind-blowing.

Sitting up and she quickly takes in her surroundings, and she appears to be in a strange bedroom. Let me just say... It's HUGE! The walls were painted a strong navy blue, with giant white dual-framed windows. The windows were opened, letting in the cool night air and moon light.

"Nice place." Elisabeth whispers astonished.

She can't help but notice on the side near the windows, a giant Flat screen television. Surrounding the television were three big, black leather arm chairs. Dark brown drawers stood against one side of a wall. In the far corner, there appeared to be a wooden Ikea mini bar, filled with what seemed to be all types of fancy alcoholic beverages.

Looking down, she finds herself in a giant circular bed. She was also a Navy blue cotton blanket. Crisp white sheets lay under her, with giant white pillows to match. She can't believe how awesome this room is.

Elizabeth takes a deep breath and smells a familiar scent in the air. Taking the soft blanket she puts it to her nose and inhales it's alluring aroma. She just can't pin point where shes smelled it before. It reminds her of the outdoors, but with a hint of something else...What is that! For whatever it is, it's addicting. Elizabeth wonders why it effects her so much, or why it's making her get goosebumps. As she looks at the blanket, she notices bruises on her arms.

"The hell!" Elizabeth curiously examine her body and finds herself with only a long black shirt as clothing. She then recalls the guys at the alley.

"Isabella!" Elizabeth shouts, and was about to get up from the bed, when the door suddenly opens.

"Glad to see your doing well." Jeff happily expresses, while standing in the open doorway.

"Jeff! Why are you here? Where am I? There where these guys that jumped Isabella and m...Jeff, where's Isabella! Is she OK!" Elizabeth all but screams at Jeff, scared shit-less that something bad could have happened to Bell.

"Hey now! No need to yell, everything's fine. Bell's in another room down the hall, she's alright and resting. There's also someone who's been waiting enthusiastically to see you." Jeff joyfully gestures.

Moving aside, Jeff allows, a very excited, Luka to come bursting into the room. He jumps onto the bed with Elizabeth and begins to frantically cover her face with dog kisses.

"Hey there boy. Alright relax, I've missed you to." Elizabeth has Luka lay down beside her and continues talking to Jeff.

"Jeff, where am I? What about those guys?" Elizabeth says questionably, content with the fact that Isabella's safe.

"Elizabeth, I'm not sure how to say this, but I'm so sorry." Jeff states apologetically.

"What do you have to be sorry about?" She finishes just in time, as a familiar voice to enters the room.

"Hello, my sexy kitten. Glad to see your finally awake. You've been asleep for a few hours now." Damien casually says, walking in the bedroom to stand in between her and Jeff.




Uncertain Desires Ch. 05



"Damien? What happened! And stop calling me that!" Elizabeth remarks irritably.

"Come now sexy kitten, don't be like that. I did save you and sisters lives after all. The least you could do is say thank you." Damien states playfully upon her offensiveness. How he loved his mates temper.

"Save?" She repeats skeptically, raising an eyebrow.

"Yup! My brother and I showed up just in time to take out those thugs. By the way, you did a number on a few of them, I'm impressed." Damien states proudly, sitting beside her on the bed.

"Thanks, I guess... So why am I here?" I sneak a peek at Jeff to see he had moved even closer to the doorway, and his eyes are cast low to the ground. Why?

"Well for one my little kitten, you and your sister were knocked out by chloroform. Ben and I brought you back to our place to make sure there wasn't any serious damage." Damien says informedly.

"Well I'm fine now, so I would like to see my sister." She begins to get up, but is stopped by Damien, who by placing his hand softly on my shoulder, keeps me in place on the mattress.

"No. You need to hear something first." Damien says seriously.

"OK, but it better be good. Isabella is probably worried sick by now."

"Those men who attacked you two wanted to kidnap you, in order lure Ben and I to them. I managed to dispose of the men surrounding you, but one of them escaped, we have one here for questioning." Damien cautiously illuminates.

"What would they want with you two?" Elizabeth says suspiciously, not exactly liking where this explanation was headed.

"Those men who attacked you were part of an association of werewolf hunters... You and your sister, my dear, are very special to us. They believed that if they got you, it would influence us to come after you and when we did they would try and kill us." Damien explains through gritted teeth, almost like he was withholding from strangling someone.

He then stops his apparent mental breakdown to then look at Elisabeth, waiting patiently for her response.

"Wait a minute. So your telling me...you and Ben... are a couple of werewolves and you even have some hunters after you."

"Yes." Damien says bluntly, still obviously waiting for my overall reaction.

"And why are we so important to you?" Elizabeth questions, wanting to get as much information out of him as she could, before she acknowledged what he has said.

"You are my mate, and Isabella is Ben's." Damien says conversationally.

"Huh? Could you say that again, I didn't quite catch the last part."

"Haha. Mate, my kitten. To my species, mates are a being that we'll love for all time. They're the most precious gift a Were could ever receive." Damien says with a pleased smirk.

I look over to Jeff, who stares at me with a nervous smile upon his face. Damien continues.

"Elizabeth, I know that at times you look at me as an asshole. I agree, sometimes I can be, but I need you to realize I love you. I love how you fight me, how you can stand your own when needed, how you protect the ones you love with such...passion! You are everything I'd ever want in a women." Damien confesses proudly.

"OK."

"OK?" Damien says dumbfounded.

Damien and Jeff exchange shocked looks at each other and then stare back at Elizabeth in disbelief.

"So you believe me?" Damien questions happily at my apparent cooperation.

"Sure do. You know what else I believe."

"What?" Damien excitedly replies.

"That you are the most idiotic, self absorbed, douche-bag on face of the planet. I think what you are saying is complete nonsense and I can't believe you have the balls to think I'd believe you. I want nothing to do with this craziness and I'm going home with my sister and Luka, and forgetting that I ever met you! Come on Luka." Elizabeth gets up from the bed and passes Damien without even a single glance. She walks towards the door, with Luka right on her heels. Right as she approaches up to the door...

"Jeff." Damien tiredly sighs.

At that moment Jeff stands in front of the door, blocking Elizabeth's path.

"Jeff, what are you doing? Get out of my way!" Elizabeth snaps at him.

"I'm so sorry Elizabeth." Jeff distraughtly states, pain noticeably in his eyes.

"Don't be sorry, just get out of the way!"

"He has no choice." Damien intervenes.

"What do you mean? Jeff , why won't you help me!?" Elizabeth shouts at Jeff and then starts pounding on his chest. She stops all movement when she senses someone behind her.

"He won't help you. I'm his superior, or in this case Alpha." Damien coldly remarks, all while glaring darkly at Jeff.

Elizabeth keeps facing Jeff, refusing to look at Damien.

"What's an Alpha?" She questions, to the now skittish Jeff.

"It's the highest rank of wolf in a pack. I'm his beta, which means I'm his second in command, it also means his rule goes against mine." Jeff says to Elizabeth softly, the slightest trace of tears begin to appear in his eyes.

"Wait, so werewolves are real...and your one of them?"

"You bet he is. If that's not enough, then what do you think about this." Damien says behind me.

She didn't know what he was talking about, until his arm then appeared in front of her. All of a sudden his arm became bigger, fur grew all around it and his nails began to elongate, until finally a giant black paw was all that she could see.

"I need to get..."

"You won't be going anywhere," Damien forcibly turns Elizabeth to face him and continues. " Those men will be looking for the both of you. They will hunt you down... and kill you. As our mates, the two of you will stay here at the compound with us, where its safe. Your apartment has been properly taken care of and Jeff here has already resigned you, Isabella and Luka from your jobs."

"How dare you! We worked hard to get where we are! And what the hell do you mean compound!?"

"This compound kitten. Consists of three hundred acres of forest and is located a hundred miles from Chesterfield. You are in the main house, where the alphas and betas reside. Omegas, the lower class of Weres, live in separate houses surrounding the main house. All of which obey and serve Ben and I's every command. Please kitten, we care for you both. Each day of your life will be filled with love and affection, just accept fate and stay." Damien pleads.

"NO! I don't want this. You...and your so called pack, I have a life, a life that my sister and I worked to hard to give up. It's something that two damn guys who think they own the world can't take away, just because they think they own us!" I frustratingly scream to Damien. Tears begin to stream down her face, only adding on to her frustration.

"Elizabeth, please mind your tone. I promise everything's going to be fine." Jeff pleadingly says to me. Right as he's about to grab a hold of my shoulder as a way to calm me, Elizabeth sharply turns to his direction.

"Don't you ever touch me! You lied to me. To Isabella. You knew this was going to happen and you did nothing to stop it! You said you cared for us...but you won't even *hic* stop doing what these men say to help us. I'll never trust you again!" Elizabeth shouts angrily at Jeff, knowing that the only man she ever relied on betrayed her.

"Elizabeth...I..." Jeff begins.

"You never have to worry about him or any other man touching you for as long as I live." Damien bluntly states.

"And what is that supposed to mean!" Elizabeth bitterly snickers at Damien.

"It means! That you are mine, and mine alone! I will not let any other male lay a finger on you. With that being said, I suggest that you stop inching yourself towards Jeff. My wolf is already on edge with him being in the same building as you. If your not careful I might be tempted to do something rash."

"I'm not some object, you don't own me! I can speak to whom ever I please. You have no right to tell me I can't!"

"Kitten, I'm not trying to objectify you. We wolves are very protective of our own, that goes triple for our mates. I won't allow any male, whether they be human or not, get a chance to harm you." Damien boldly declares.

"You're insane!" I scream at Damien, who was about to say something, but is stopped when a pissed off Ben storms in the room.

"Damien let's go! It's time to deal with our little friend." Ben says agitated.

"Fine. Jeff, have you informed the members of the pack to stay away from this side of the house? I want no one bothering the girls before we've had everything settled." Damien states sternly.

"Yes. Only Jess, Adam and myself have access to this area." Jeff clarifies.

"Right, thank you my friend. Elizabeth, we'll discuss more later. For now, just stay in this room, and don't come out." With that being said, Damien and Ben walk out the door, closing it on their way out.

Elizabeth and Jeff stand in an awkward silence. Elizabeth stands facing away from Jeff, as she tries to take all that has happened in. Tears still shamefully run down her face.

"Elizabeth... please look at me." Jeff begs.

"You know how we feel about men. We thought you cared for us. We trusted you....and you lied to us." Elizabeth sobs, crossing her arms and pressing them securely around her chest, while still avoiding his direction.

"I do care for you, both of you! You two are like daughters to me. Please realize, I couldn't tell you." Jeff says pleadingly.

"Enough!" Elizabeth quickly turns around to face him. "We've lost everything! Our jobs! Our Freedom! Everything! You knew how we already had one man ruin our lives, and now we have two. You know what, just get out!"

"Elizabeth I'm..." Jeff begins.

"LEAVE!" Elizabeth venomously shouts at Jeff.

After finally getting the hint, Jeff leaves the room, gently shutting the door on his way out. Elizabeth and Luka are know left alone.

"DAMN IT!"I yell out loud, I can't believe how everything turned out. I guess it just goes to show...never judge a book by its cover.

Wiping away the tears, the anger slowly starts to build.

"So...you think you can keep us here against our wills huh!" I look around and spot a pair of gray sweat pants laying one of the leather chairs, I hurriedly put them on.

"Jeff said Bells in another room down the hall, right?!" Luka then barks as if agreeing.

I go to the door, unsurprisingly finding it locked. Damn!

Looking around Elizabeth tries to find anything to help her get the door unlocked. It hits her...a coat hanger! Rushing to the closet she open the door and I take out a wire hanger. As she walks back to the door, she takes the top of the hanger bends it until its slightly straighter. Putting the hanger into the key hole, she plays around in there, until there is a quick click. Success! Sneaking her way outside with the hanger and Luka, they make their way down the hall.

Elizabeth looks down at Luka who is smelling the floor, trying to catch any trace of Isabella. Velvet carpeting, neatly painted white walls, the hallway alone was beautiful. Along side the walls were what appeared to be gold framed pictures of people she didn't know. Finley craved tables held beautiful vases filled with bouquets of flowers. It almost tempted her to explore this place a bit more, if she wasn't under such dreadful circumstances that is.

After what seemed like an eternity, Luka stops in front of a door and sits down. A tell-tale sign he's found something. Trying for the knob she finds it locked.

"Bell, you in there?" Elizabeth softy whispers, hoping she was inside.

"Elly! I'm here." Isabella replies gleefully upon hearing Elizabeth's voice.

"OK, back away from the door a minute." Elizabeth orders before doing to the door knob like she did to the one earlier.

Once the door was unlocked, she didn't even have a chance to turn the handle of the door, before it's quickly opened and Luka and her are quickly dragged inside. The door is then quickly slammed shut.

"Elly, oh god! I'm so glad your alright. Listen, Ben and Damien have us, and they won't let us leave! They're going to hold us hostage here! Their werewolves and we're their mates or whatever. What are we g..." Bell hysterically begins to rant, all while squeezing the life out of her in a deathly bear hug. She appeared to be wearing an over-sized white collared shirt, that went well below her knees. Paired with blue gym shorts, that were clearly to big for her, yet were held up by a belt she had tied around herself. Her full double-D sized breasts were practically crushing my ribcage.

"Bell! I already know. You need to calm down. No good will happen with you acting this way, and besides your crushing me!" Elizabeth sternly scorns her sister. Getting out of her embrace, she has her sit down on the bed to calm down.

"But, what are we going to do? I mean, where are we?" Bell solemnly questions.

"Damien informed me that we're at their "compound" or something and this is where it gets good. Not only are we surrounded by others of their kind, we're about a hundred miles from Chesterfield."

"Crap! You think we can get in touch with the police. Jeff could..."

"NO!" Elizabeth angrily interrupts.

"Why? "

"He's one of them! Turns out he's their little henchman. Jeff always said he cared for us, but he won't even speak up against those two bastards!" Elizabeth snaps venomously. Disgusted by him deceit.

"What about our jobs? People will know something up when we don't come in." Bell says hopefully.

"I forgot to mention, Jeff took it upon himself to get us out of our jobs and apartment. Doesn't matter if we don't show up, people won't be coming."

Elizabeth can't help but clench and unclench her hands, just thinking about how long Jeff was giving them information about them, going behind their backs to get them lured into their trap. Damn him! Realizing that time is of the essence, she regains her composure and continue on.

"We need to find a way out of here. Damien said the people here are suppost to stay away from this area. That at least gives us a chance." Elizabeth states while pacing back and forth.

Both girls try and figure out a plan, when a soft knock startles both Bell and Elizabeth out of their thoughts. The door opens and a beautiful dark skinned women walks in holding a tray with tea.

"Hello dears!" The women cheerfully says.

She was a tall older women, about five foot 10 and looked no more than 30 years old. She held a wide, womanly set of hips on her. Long, wavy black hair cascaded all the way down her back. She wore a bright blue sundress, that ended just below her knees. The contrast from the dress and the color of her skin made her look stunning. Her beautiful face held big hazel doe eyes and full lips, that were now in a wide smile. As she gently closes the door behind her, I can't help but notice something familiar looking about her.

"Um, can we help you?" Bell questions confusedly.

"I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. My name is Sophie Cross, Damien and Ben's mother, but you can call me mom." Sophie happily states. Putting the tray down on a small table, she begins pouring the tea into three cups.

"Everyone was told not to come here, but I just had to meet you! My sons may be in charge around here, but I really was never one to take orders. Plus, those two know not to push me." With a giggle, Sophie grabs a cup and situates herself casually on the bed with Bell. " I couldn't believe the news when I heard my sons had finally found their mates!"

"Oh that. I'm Elizabeth and this is Isabella. Sorry to disappoint you mom, but we don't intend to have anything to do with your sons or anyone else here." Elizabeth states angrily.

"Wait, your their mother? You look so young though." Isabella puzzlingly states, seemingly forgetting our haste attempts to leave.

"I take it the boys have already told you what they and everybody here are, correct? I will tell you that our kind don't age like you humans do. I might look young, but I'm actually quite the opposite." Sophie matter of factly states.

"If you don't mind me asking, just how old are you?" Elizabeth questions, eventually submitting to the conversation.

"Lets's see..." She takes a sip of her tea as she ponders the question. "I'm five hundred and fifty years old. Still looking fine I might add!" This gets Sophie laughing uncontrollably. The two girls just stare astonishingly at her.

"Yeah, funny. But if you don't mind we'll be leaving." Elizabeth takes Isabella by the hand and with Luka by her side, guiding their way to the door.

"Just where do you think you two are going?" Sophie questions. Not particularly pleased that her future daughters that she just met, were already rushing out the door.

"Anywhere but here!" Bell snaps back.

"Why would you want to leave?"

"WHY WOULDN'T WE!" Elizabeth can't help but shout at her, her pent up rage finally reaching its breaking point "Not only did we get held hostage by the two most self-absorbed, aggravating, possessive men on the planet, oh scratch that, werewolves. But they then proceed to take everything we worked so hard for away from us, without even blinking an eye. Then they expect us to believe they love us and we're their so called soul mate!"

"But my dear, you girls are. I know those two can act like two complete jerks and this is all a lot to process, but I know those two adore you both. I mean, they find you both passed out in an alley, with men about to do who knows what. They just want to pro..."

"Well guess what! We're not going to have two assholes tell us how to run our lives. We're getting out of this hellhole and getting as far away from those two as possible." Bell snaps.

"Girls, I won't try and stop you. Both of you are old enough to make your own decisions. But, if I know my boys, I know they won't take it kindly of their mates leaving them. They will come after you and they won't be happy." Sophie stands up and puts her cup on the tray.

"I think we'll take that chance." Elizabeth huffs.

"Very well, if that is your choice. Down this hallway on the far left is a staircase that leads to the back door, which leads to the woods. No one will notice you because everyone has been notified to stay clear of this area. Within about 50 miles north you will reach train tracks, just follow up the tracks and you'll reach town eventually." Sophie helpfully instructs.

"Thanks." And with that, we walk out the door and leave Sophie alone.

"Oh dear. You girls have much to learn." Sophie sighs wgile collecting her things and too leaving the room.

*********

The look on my hurt mate's face still lingers in my mind. Damien really had hoped they could've started a new chapter, but I guess that wasn't meant to be. It's not like he wanted everything her and her sister worked so hard for to be taken away. The men after them would've hunted the girls down and killed them if we hadn't. Fuck these hunters! Now she hates my guts more than ever, if that was even possible!

"Now, your gonna tell us everything you know." Damien say manically to the quivering man tied to the chair, after recollecting his thoughts with Ben right beside him.

Down in the mansions secret chamber, Ben and Damien, along with Jessica and Jeff, are entertaining their little guest. Whose name turns out to be Randy.

"I already told you! Our boss assigned us to capture the girls, wait till you two show up, and kill you. That's all!" Randy cries.

"And who exactly is your boss." Ben says calmly next to Damien. His arms crossed and eyes sternly looking at the quivering human.

"I..I can't say. You don't know what he'll do to me if I tell! He's insane!"

"Well, if you don't want to talk, then I guess you don't leave me any other choice. Jessica if you would." Damien says nonchalantly. Jessica comes up from behind him and hands him a jar and two giant gloves.

"W...What is that?" Randy quivers.




Uncertain Desires Ch. 05



"We have connections to some pretty interesting places you know. It just so happens one of those places is Paraguay. Nice place, even nicer insects." He takes the jar and precedes to shake it a bit, he then pours the contents inside the pair of gloves.

"You ever heard of the bullet ants Randy?" Ben questions with a hateful smile.

"No, w..why?" Randy nervously stutters.

"Bullet ants are known for their severally painful bites, you know. They come in handy in times like these. So, I'm going to ask you once more. What is the name of the man who ordered you to attack those women?" Ben sternly demands.

After a minute of Randy just sitting there with bludging eyes and sweating profoundly, Damien maneuvers the gloves on him.

"AHH! Take them off! Take them off!" Randy hollers in agony.

"Oh I will, after you tell me what I want to know!" Damien snickers .With that being said, Randy's screams of pain continued, until we finally hear a name.

"Jeremiah! His name is Jeremiah Gearin!"

All goes silent as the name of the man behind these murders is finally revealed.

"Where is he hiding!" Damien barks, breaking the silence.

"He probably already knows we fucked up! Probably already changed locations. All I know is that he had something planned for us after tonight, once we killed you two. I don't know what but...he said something about camping in the woods!Oh God, please take off the gloves!" Randy begins to show the after effects of the Bullet ants venom.

First he began shaking terribly, the entire room was filled with the echoing noise of his chair rattling in place, as he struggled to break free. His lips and eyes began to become swollen, this however didn't stop him from drooling all over himself like an infant.

"Damien, we've got enough out of him." Ben finalizes, like what was happening was as normal as putting on a pair of shoes.

"Got it. Jeff, lighter." Jeff hands him the lighter and while facing Randy he focuses on his inner wolf. While suppressing the whole change, he morphs his right arm into a hybrid wolf arm. With the now deadly claws extended, Damien slashes Randy's'weak jugular and watches as his body jerks until it stills. Taking the lighter, he places the small flame on the bottom of each glove and then watches as the ants burn to death.

"What do you think Alpha's?" Jessica states questionably.

"I think this attack is not going to be the last we see of them. If this Jeremiah, knows we're still alive, then he will keep on coming after us." Ben says knowingly. Damien can't help but sense the sadness in his tone, undoubtedly due to the outcome of our mates dangerous circumstances. He can't help but feel the same.

"Yeah, Okay thanks for you guys help. You may retire for tonight." Damien dismisses Adam, Jessica and Jeff

"Goodnight Alphas." All three say in unison.

They turn to leave, but not before Damien tells Jeff to stay a minute. After Jessica and Jeff give each other a quick peck on the cheek, Jeff moves towards Damien and Ben.

"What is it Damien?" Jeff says emotionlessly.

"Jeff, about earlier. I'm sorry it went down the way it did. I know you'd never harm Elizabeth and I'm sorry she said what she said because of us. I'll inform her that it really was not your fault, but my own." Damien reassures.

"Thank you sir. I just hope she'll forgive me. Those two are like my very own children, now she doesn't want anything to do with me. Especially because she thinks I put Bell in danger." Jeff lets a tear fall from his eyes without shame.

"It will be alright my friend. Those two will soon understand why you did what you did. I promise that you won't lose the relationship you all have. Get some rest, I can tell you'll need it for tomorrow."

We all leave the chamber, saving the clean up for later, and go our separate ways down the hall. Ben and I hurriedly make our way back to our mates.

"I hope they'll come to realize how much we care for them brother." Ben worryingly says.

"I know you do Ben, and I have faith they will in time. We just have to make them see it."

Right as Ben was about to say something, mother walks down the hallway, holding a tray.

"Mother, what are you doing here! We told everyone, including you, that they were not to come here!" Damien angrily growls at her disobedience.

"Oh hush! You both knew I would see them no matter what. I must say, those two really are something." Mother finishes her sentence with an offsetting laugh.

"What did they say?" Ben and Damien say in curious union.

"They defiantly hate both of you, there's no denying that fact!" Mother amusedly banters.

Ben and Damien both sigh with grief.

"What else?" Ben impatiently grumbles.

"Well, they said and I quote, We want nothing to do with them, and they left." Mother says bluntly.

"What do you mean they left?!" Ben bellows.

"I mean! They walked out the door and left back through the woods. I even had the curtesy to tell them which staircase to go down and how to get into town." Mother states happily.

"What! Why would you tell them that, fuck! Those hunters are looking for them both. Why the hell would you allow them to leave?!" Damien can't help but yell angrily, knowing that his mate was once again in danger.

"Damien, those women are not prisoners!" Mother places the tray on one hand and puts the other one her hip, a tell tale sign she meant business "They need to learn that with their choices, comes consequences. If they want to leave, let them. They will learn on their own what dangers they are in."

Right as Damien was about to say something else, Adam comes racing towards us and by the look on his face it was urgent.

"Alphas!" Adam shouts.

"What is it Adam?!" Ben responds. Not liking the distress in his voice.

"Mary and Jason Martin have told me they can't find their Five year old daughter, Ally. Says the children were playing in the woods, and when they came back they all said they couldn't find her!"

Both Ben and Damien look at each other, both having an idea of what happened to her.

******

Elizabeth and Isabella took Sophies directions and making good time. Walking side by side in silence, they made their way through the forest. The full moon made the forest glisten, it was a sight to be seen. Luka even enjoyed himself, running all around, wagging his tail happily. He looked like he was in heaven. As they kept walking in silence, Elizabeth broke the ice.

"So... Just what did Ben say to you when you two were alone together?" Elizabeth pries curiously.

"Just the same as you, mates and that whole werewolf thing. Still can't believe they expected us to believe they did what they did out of love. Who takes ones job and home away and expects the other to just jump into their arms?" Isabella replies, avoiding bringing up our little cuddle session.

"I know. I just want to put this whole mess behind me." Elizabeth sighs.

"Me too." Isabella agrees with her sister, trying to hide the fact that Ben was strangely clouding her head.

She still can't get the image of Ben out of her mind, the delectable sight of his naked body especially. The way his body showed off his hard muscles or the way his long sexy dreadlocks hung down his impressive frame, his dark skin shinning in the moonlight. As she kept picturing his body she couldn't help but think of other thoughts. Thoughts of his body covering hers as they lay in his bed. Their opposite skin tones contradicting each other beautifully, as they pressed their bodies together in blissful ecstasy. His bulging arms holding her lovingly, as he slowly thrusts into her wet virgin-pussy.

Isabella could almost feel the heat that would radiate off of him as he drove them both closer to an intense climax. Their sweaty bodies working in perfect union as they finally hit the breaking point and his body would fall onto hers, we would then reminisce in what we just did. At that moment Ben would look affectionally into my eyes and we would kiss before falling into a deep, content sleep.

Isabella came out of her daydream, her face burning at the thought of them having sex. How could I be thinking these thoughts of a man who tried taking my life away? Looking over at Elizabeth and finding she hadn't noticed anything, she collects her thoughts and just keeps looking ahead, ignoring the uncomfortable wetness that had emerged between her legs.

After about fifteen minutes Isabella notices Luka acting strangely.

"Elizabeth, what's wrong with Luka?"

Luka seemed to be nervous about something, due to his pacing back and fourth, while letting out the occasional whimper.

"I don't know. Luka what's wrong bo..." Elizabeth didn't get a chance to continue, when all of a sudden we could hear voices.

Walking a bit more, a light illuminates in the distance, a campfire! Elizabeth and Isabella sneak behind a tree, close enough to the area, but just enough to not be seen. After Elizabeth whispers Luka to behave, we see what this is all about. What we find baffles both of us.

"So, what do ya wanna do with the kid?" A gruff-looking man says to another man, holding a knife.

"Boss says kill the little shit and dump the body to headquarters. I tell ya, this guy has some weird thoughts runnin through his mind!"

What we saw were two men huddled together near a fire pit. What baffled us, was what was tied to a tree a few feet away them. A little girl with short, red curly hair and shimmering green eyes, probably not past the age of five, sobbing profoundly at the mercy of these two men.

"P...pwease let me go. I want my mommy and daddy!" The poor little girl cried out, eyes clouded with tears.

"Shut up brat!" One of the men annoyingly shouted back, who then harshly slaps the child hard across the head.

"Elizabeth, what are we going to do!? Who knows what those men will do if we don't do something." Isabella whispers angerly. Now completely pissed off at the audacity that the men had to strike an innocent child. Just wait until I get my hands on you, you fucking prick!

"I don't know, but we better do something fast. I don't think these guys where hired to babysit..."

To be continued.
