She grumbled knowing she was still fighting the asshole and trying to escape. She just wanted the fight over with more than anything at the moment, as the past several days flashed by in her mind. The announcement about the true form of humans; the crying and confusion as people shifted into their creatures. Zaka herself grew her wings out and fangs. Her creature was a sufferer. Not an angel like most thought. Her body was an interesting mix with angel and vampire. Except for the fact that she was fighting to avoid slavery. Something's never change even at the end of the world. She stood up even though her body ached, covered in bruises and cuts from the other sufferer. Blood poured from a few but the heat of the nearby fire slowed them down. The large sufferer above her was terrifying. Beautiful wings with silver throughout them attached to a huge muscular body and fangs. Go figure, vampires myths came from something. Zaka finally got to her feet remembering why she was here. The group to her left cheered as she woke up after being knocked out for a while. She was not sure how long she was out, but knew she had to end this one way or another. She dared to stand against the bad boy in front of her and bet every ones slavery for freedom. She wins they are all free, she loses they die or become slaves for life. She had to win no matter what. I refuse to go into slavery with this idiot, or any idiot. Even before knowing her true form, she hated bullies. Hurting others pissed her off and she always stood up for those weaker, even if it meant getting hurt. Her heart broke to see people suffer. She remembered crying during the commercials on TV showing the abused animals and poor children that needed donations to help them. Even as an adult, they still bothered her. In addition, any massacre, genocide, or abuse was met with her anger, fundraising, and trips to help those individuals. Now, at the end of the world as everyone knew, here she was defending innocents against slavery by someone who thought he would win because he was bigger. Fuck that Zaka thought to herself as she imagined the pain and fear everyone suffered through. The horrors of humanity sped through her mind and she looked around at the crowd members rooting for her. Zaka's eyes settled on a young were pup nearby. The little guy was sitting and howling for her to win with all his lungs could afford. His beautiful black fur reminded her of the nighttime. Sitting under the stars and imaging a world out there bigger than hers was a favorite past time before insanity broke out. Something triggered in her and a power grew in her hands. Soft warmth spread and grew quickly throughout her body. Zaka finally looked away from the pup's green eyes to see the bulky asshole in front of her mocking her as he made his way towards her. Fuck this. We are not repeating history! She thought to herself as light grew from her hands and wings. The crowd standing around her stood back a few more feet, unsure of what was going to happen. For the first time in the fight, her wings opened, showing the black and blue lines that ran through them while glowing with a slowly growing white light. She was only five foot six, 160 pounds, and not that strong physically, but she always stood strong mentally. With her white hair slipping into her face, wings fully expanded with the blue and black glowing too, and her eyes filling with light, she made an impressive opponent. Even for a female. The sufferer in front of her paused and started thinking that maybe he should back off. Something in the light off her said not to fuck with this one. Before he got the chance to run or change his mind, Zaka exploded with light. Everyone saw a girl ripped apart by light and screaming, with tears running down her face while aiming light into ripping the giant suffer apart as well. Zaka saw the eyes of the were pup in her mind as everything in her body was set on fire. As she closed her eyes in pain, Zaka saw the stars above her spinning and burning as if she was right in front of them instead of millions of miles away. I always wanted to touch the stars and play among them, she thought as she blacked out with were pup eyes haunting her. Zaka's Wings Ch. 02 Fifteen years later... Zaka sat in a tree watching the nearby pack interact with each other. Since the explosion of power that was the end of the sufferer many years ago, she jumped around the world not sure where to live her life and call home. However, after years of traveling and seeing the remains of the world that was once the modern world, she returned to what used to be the United States and travelled around, trying to find her place. She made friends along the way, of course. The centaurs were friendly, but disliked her because of her wings. She enjoyed flying along them, especially her friend Alaska who did not mind her hanging out with them. However, after a couple of months, she grew restless and moved on, promising her dark and intelligent friend that she would return. The dragons were nice too. They accepted her flying around them, but she got tired of recovering from the random burns when they got spooked or too excited. She stayed with them shortly. Zaka found the packs of weres to be the best match for her. Her own fellow sufferers were annoying and assholes most of the time, so she did not bother hanging out with them. Since the incident, roughly fifteen years ago with the large sufferer trying to take slaves, she never fit in with them. All she remembered from that night was the green eyes of the midnight black pup that she caught eyes with before she exploded in a ball of light. A connection was formed during that explosion and she was not sure what to think about it. While other creatures had random family units and sometimes lived distantly apart, the weres were warm and loving. They always took care of their young and raised large families. They mourned the dead and found love and happiness. Plus some packs didn't mind her dropping from the sky randomly for dinner. One pack was her favorite, the McCloud clan. They always set a place for her just in case she dropped by. There was a running joke that she looked for her spot before diving now since she managed to once dive and land in her seat perfectly from 300 feet plus. Now it was expected for her to try every time. The young pups were wonderful and amazed by her wings, always following her around and shrieking when she would grab one and fly off, pretending to eat them. She got along with everyone. The women liked her for her artistic side while she was a good hunter with the men. However, there was only one awkward spot in the group: him. He was in line to become the next alpha of the group, meaning he was always busy and learning. All the single girls tried to get his attention but he was stuck on her. The deep wanting look in his eyes was too much when she saw him, so she avoided him at all costs. It seemed to be a game to him. He always took time to find her and stare. The pack was used to it. He was there to see her legendary explosion of light. While everyone else felt warmth and general happiness, he felt something else. He told her told her to age eight that he loved her and would mate with her. She laughed it off as a childhood thing. He remained persistent though. Following her to the woods, running under her while she flew, always carrying a treat for her or flowers. He was dedicated. Zaka smiled thinking of all the things he did for her over the years. Especially at his 21st birthday. It was a human tradition, but weres celebrated anyways. The weres over 21 insisted on throwing a party and getting drunk. Technically, there was no age limit since the governments all dissolved but old traditions die hard. The bonfire was huge with most of the young singles of the pack together. Young wolves chased each other around, acting silly and being laid left and right. Zaka had been invited but refrained from the public sex. Instead, she sat and talked with friends less insane than others about life. Her wings kept her warm and the fire helped. She did not really need to wrap up in her wings but she felt more comfortable. In addition, it was an old habit. She was talking about a recent trip to the east coast when he showed up. All 200 pounds of muscle and alpha in the form of Zack. God. She knew when he was there immediately. It was hard to miss him in the crowd, especially since the single girls and the men started greeting him loudly and coming up to him to wish him a happy birthday. The girls practically drooled over him while the men smacked him on the back. She should have left then. It was getting late and she needed to find a safe tree to sleep in. The pack offered her a cabin all the time, but she preferred the open air in case of emergency. It was easier to open her wings than in a tight place with four walls on it and a ceiling. However, she did not. She decided to wish Zack a happy birthday and grab another drink. The party was slightly awkward for her, especially with the public sex randomly, but she wanted to be social and hang with her friends more before turning in. Zack saw her and locked eyes with her quickly. She could not look away from his stunning green eyes and did not miss the wanton look of lust that he sent her way. She stopped for a moment, unsure of what to do. She knew he could take her if he wanted; he was much bigger than she was. However, he would never do that, at least she thought. However, towards five am or so, the party was winding down and she was finally going to head to bed. She started walking in to the woods looking for a good tree to snuggle. She did not know that Zack was following her, in wolf form. She knew he had changed at some point; she scratched his ears for a while and used him for warmth. However, she was so tired that she did not see the change in his wolf. He was tired of waiting for her. Zack's wolf was frustrated and irritated with his human side. Just take her. She is our mate. We need her more than ever. Imagine the pups! Zack fought with his wolf over it all night since he locked eyes with her. Finally, his wolf took control and followed her into the woods. Zaka had found a nice solid tree to sleep in. The tree had nice branches without too many random sticks in it and had some leaves for coverage. As she was preparing to leap into the tree to settle down, she was attacked and dragged to the ground. Out of reaction, she started moving her wings to fly, but the weight was too much for her body to carry. As she finally looked at her attacker, she recognized Zack's wolf. But right away she noticed that his eyes were different. Instead of the green and brown mix that was typical of him in wolf form, they were all brown. His wolf is in control. Fuck. Before Zaka knew it, she was pinned to the ground and staring into the eyes of only Zack's wolf. Zaka was terrified. She had never dealt with something like this before and could only guess that the combination of alcohol, nearby open sex, and his desire to be with her were the cause. She tried to struggle away but felt her neck quickly placed in the jaws of Zack's wolf. She knew not to move at that. Not moving was a sign of submission, but also the way to keep from getting her throat ripped out. She slowed her breathing but was still panicking internally. She knew that Zack was insane about her and considered her his mate, but never expected this from an alpha to be. While he held on to her throat, her body started reacting strangely. Zaka knew she should be freaking out and worried about rape, but all she felt was some fear and desire. Of course, she was attracted to Zack. Who would not be? She was a warm-blooded female after all. Nevertheless, in this situation she should have not wanted him to continue and to fuck her hard. Zack's wolf smelled her desire growing and started growling with her throat still in his jaws. The growling turned her on more and she started panting, wanting the clothes to be off her so she could feel all of his fur against her skin. Zack's wolf had such a beautiful coat, all brown with gold, and red throughout it in random spots that would pick up the sunlight and shine in the sunset. She finally started to whimper, her wings crushed underneath her body were painful, and she needed to be let up before a bone broke or her feathers became damaged. Zack's wolf must of realized this because he let go of her throat and let her sit up, while standing over her and keeping his paws on her chest. Zaka was unsure of what to do. Logically she should kick his ass and fly into a safe tree to recover. However, something else called to her and she wanted a taste of the wolf in front of her. Years of his affections and following her around added up in her mind and she decided to give in. She was only denying her attraction to him throughout the years starting when he was teenager and hit puberty. Suddenly he had gone from the small pup following her around with flowers in his mouth to a strong male with muscles and the ability to take on any pack member in a fight, except his father yet. His growth made him taller and wider than before and she noticed right away. However, she thought she would let him go after some other girls; he was better matched for a good young wolf girl than she was. Nevertheless, he remained as determined and affectionate as before. This led to her to that fateful day where she was pinned under him, decided "what the fuck," and started rubbing his fur. She was not entirely sure what to do however. She saw plenty of wolf sex before on the pack grounds. They were very liberal when it came to PDA to the extreme. However, she was a sufferer. She was not sure how the anatomy worked between the two of them. Instead she tried showing him that she was willing and to let it go from there. She had sex since she was a sufferer, just with other sufferers, not an oversized wolf. Well, there's a first time for everything, she thought as she rubbed his nuzzle and moved closer towards the giant wolf in front of her. Zack's wolf was confused to what was going on. He was sure he would have to force her to accept him, but she was letting him and even seemed to want it. So he decided to take charge and have his way with her. Zack's wolf started by ripping her clothes off. She had spare sets so she did not worry, but a wolf trying to figure out how to remove a bra was funny. Zaka did not need to wear them anymore since society was more liberal. However, she felt naked without it so made her own after everything modern ended. Zaka ended up undoing it for him and once her breasts were free, Zack lunged forward and started licking and nipping her. She immediately started reacting strongly and felt her desire shoot right up. She did not have the world's greatest breasts in her mind, but the way Zack's wolf tongue was playing attention to them and nipping in just the right spot, she thought they must be to deserve such attention. Only C36, they were not as big as the other wolf girls were but she felt confident about them right at that moment. Zaka helped by taking off her long blue skirt and becoming very naked for Zack. She thought his human side was coming back a bit because she kept seeing patches of green within the brown of his eyes. Zaka thought it might be easier if Zack the human was involved, but he was really in control of the situation. Zack's wolf rolled her over to her belly and sat on her legs, comfortably keeping her under his control as he started to lick up her body with his long tongue and taste all of her. Mate, mate, mate kept repeating in Zack's head as he tasted her finally and went crazy for her scent. Raspberries and the forest. Everyone had his or her own scent and he was finally fully discovering hers. Zaka smelled wonderful, and he was able to get his nose close enough to fully smell her. The passing sniffs and marks of her around the lands was not as strong as having her pinned under him and completely naked for him to taste and smell. Zaka figured he was smelling her and getting her taste down. All weres seemed to do the same thing. Smell and taste were important, especially when running through the dead of night and trying to avoid running into others. Zack was starting to lick up her back when some noise came from nearby and his wolf stopped, staring into the darkness, ready to attack whenever was there. Thankfully, the only danger was from being licked too much, as a young were pup came out of the bushes, walked up to Zaka and licked her face, not caring that Zack was there, and Zaka was naked below him. The young pup, Lacii, was one of Zaka's favorites. A sweet little girl with bright red hair that loved to stay in wolf form as much as possible and loved to follow Zaka around. Zaka turned around to look at Zack and saw his eyes changing. She knew he would not do anything stupid with a young pup here. No matter what, family always came first. Zaka managed to get out from under Zack and gathered up the young wolf in her arms. Lacii's wolf form was adorable with dark red hair and random blonde pieces throughout. In addition, Zaka thought Lacii's tail was cute too, since she had a chuck of fur missing because Lacii's brother decided to play too hard. Zaka put some space between herself and Zack, finally thinking on what just happened without her hormones ruling her mind. She was not too sure what to think at that moment in time. She needed time to think and process what almost happened. So, she took the chance to bundle up Lacii against her chest and take off from the ground, heading towards the pack and the young wolfs mother, leaving the questions and discussions for another time. Zaka's Wings Ch. 03 Zaka was not sure what to do next. She flew her young pup friend home to her mother. Lacii's mom was upset but happy to know Zaka was out there and looking after her pups. Lacii's mom, Amber, tried to give Zaka some food as thanks, but Zaka declined. The party filled her up. As Zaka walked out to head to the forest, eyes were watching her. Her eyes looked right and saw Zack's wolf watching her. Waiting. Modern day: Zaka spent the summers with the McClouds. She never resolved the almost mating encounter with Zack, so just worked on ignoring him. Two years passed since his attempt and nothing happened. Part of Zaka wanted to continue and see what would happen. Some days she daydreamed about being mated by Zack. However, she was scared. Being an alphas mate was hard with lots of responsibility. In addition, would the pack accept a sufferer as a leader? Then the bigger question, how would genetics play out? She did not want to risk messing up a child with mixed genetics, but she did want kids someday and Zack did too. Zack's mom loved to bother him and whine about needing some grand pups to take care of and spoil. "So many fine bitches want to mate with you! What's the holdup??" at these times, if Zaka was nearby Zack would stare at her in longing and let his wolf come to the surface a bit more. One day in the middle of summer, the heat was incredible, even in the mountains area that the pack lived in. Everyone took turns dipping into the nearby lake to cool off. Nudity was not a big deal to wolves, so all went naked. Even Zaka, who was modest, took off layers of clothes and made a makeshift bikini, so different from her normal long robes and skirts. Zaka was lying at the lake, watching the pups play in the water, when Zack came by and sat down next to her. Zaka tried to seem like she did not care, but inside she was mixed up. She wanted to tackle him or run. Not sure yet, she smiled at the alpha and watched him watch the young pups swim in the lake. Finally, he called out to the pups, telling them it was time for lunch and to head back before their moms got mad. Of course, they groaned and hugged Zaka before running as quickly as their legs would carry them, excited by the thought of food. Zaka looked at Zack with curiosity, wondering what he was up to. Zack looked down at the sufferer lying next to him. She was his world and he needed a mate soon, but he could not imagine life without her. He talked to his parents and they agreed that he should follow his heart for love, not politics or what was considered right. This led him to sitting by Zaka and preparing himself for one of the most important moments in his life. Zaka had always been a constant in his life since the explosion. She freed his family and helped set up the start of a pack home for them. She travelled a lot, sometimes for too long, but she always returned. He watched her age from the young teenager to a twenty year old. Then her aging stopped all together, one of the gifts of being a sufferer. Even though she stopped aging physically, Zack saw the years take their toll on her spirit. He saw in her eyes clearly, how she felt. Right then at that moment, Zaka was confused and curious to what his next move would be. Better, now than never he thought to himself before sighing deeply and looking at her. "Zaka, I've talked to my parents. I have talked with friends too. I've looked at this a million ways since I met you." he stopped and looked at her reaction, sensing her fear and unease. In his head, he had a huge speech planned out, but that moment he forgot and instead asked, "Will you be my mate? I love you." Zaka knew this was coming; it was hard not to see. She looked at the ground, thinking to herself. She knew this day would arrive, so why was she fighting it? She loved him for many years and connected with him deeply that day 15 years ago. However, she was scared. She would give up her freedom, be attached to someone forever, and have to stay in certain places. She loved to fly and end up in random spots. Her years of irresponsibility would end. Nevertheless, at the same time, she wanted to. No, she needed his wolf in a way that no other person had made her felt before. She had sex, plenty of it. However, she never attached to anyone and never exchanged bites with him or her. With Zack, it was serious. No random one-night stand with him, if she let go, then she was as good as his was and would be marked ASAP. As she looked up at him, she thought she would rather be in no other place right now. She thought what the fuck and grabbed his shoulders to pull him closer for a kiss. Zaka's Wings Ch. 04 Immediately, Zaka pulled back from Zack, feeling like her chest was on fire and she was drowning in emotions. She had no idea what to do next. So she took the logical step of a sufferer, and flew. She saw Zack transform into wolf, but she had a head start and flew as quickly as she could. She needed space. To think, to breathe, and most importantly, to hide. She was terrified. Such a strong reaction from just a kiss – image what the rest would be like if they were to mate for life. The thought of mating stole her breath away for a moment, causing her to dip a tad lower due to being distracted. That momentary distraction was all it took for her to fly into the alpha's home. The building was the largest in the pack and was three stories to show his status. However, at that moment, it was a hard source of pain and possibly broken bones. All Zaka remembered was cursing to herself before everything went black. She felt her body waking up slowly. She was breathing, there was pain, so she had to be alive. But she did not want to open her eyes, because then she would have to face Zack who was sitting next to her. Damn wolf she thought to herself as she gave in and opened her eyes, letting everyone in the room know she was okay. The alpha and his bitch were there, plus some of the pups, and various pack members huddled into the little medical room they had. Honestly, not all of them really fit into it quite well. There was way too many people in such a little space. But she knew they were just concerned. Once she woke up everyone started talking, asking about her, and seeing if she was okay. She ignored them all for the moment and raised her arm for the pack doctor to check on her. She knew something broke in her arm and it was painful. But, true to her nature, she did not show this to the pack. One, because they would be upset, and two because she was incredibly embarrassed. In the act of hiding she hit a house. That was a first for her. In all her years with wings, she had never done something so stupid and childish. Hitting buildings is something children do, not her. As the doctor finished up on her arm, binding it to her body, he looked at her with amusement. "So, you going to tell us what got you so worked up that you hit the alpha's home?" the old doctor asked with a grin. He was a gentleman and sweetheart, left over from the modern world era. He lost his wife in the confusion of changing, but found his way when he stumbled upon the pack and saw their need for a doctor. Now, the old greying man was a part of the pack and helped heal many injuries that come with running and fighting wolves. But never her before. Zaka looked down in embarrassment, feeling her face heating up. As she looked up at him and opened her mouth, Zack stepped in and put a hand on the doctor's shoulder. "Does it really matter doc?" Zack asked. The doctor smiled and looked back at Zack jokingly, "Well there is a first time for everything. This was just an interesting one to deal with." Zack and the doctor exchanged a smile and looked to Zaka. "Okay Zaka, you need to keep your arm bound for a little while. I strapped it to your body so you can't move it too much or cause further damage, since you do fly and I know you love to roughhouse with the pups." Zaka rolled her eyes at this, remembering all the young ones she had brought into see the doctor before. He gave her a serious look and told her, "Come back every week and let me check on the status. I am hoping that you are a quick healer too like your wolf pals here." With that the doctor gathered his various medical equipment and left the small room. Once the doctor was gone, Zaka saw the pack members moving closer to check on her. The alpha moved through the crowd with a low growl to move people out of his way. Zaka always saw the alpha like a father she never had. Thomas had always been there for her and the rest of the pack in their times of need. Plus he was the best fighter and hunter, allowing the pack to take care of themselves without help from any other packs or groups. He was a tough man standing roughly 6 and a half feet tall, really broad, and looked Native American with his summer tan and lack of clothes. But then, most of the men only wore shorts during the summer since they tended to rip clothes a lot when changing. Thomas sat in the chair next to Zack and raised his voice, "Okay everyone out. It is time for Zaka to get some peace and quiet so she can heal. Including the young pups hiding under her bed." At this the adults started leaving and the young pups hiding sighed and got out from under the bed to give Zaka a kiss on the cheek and wish her luck. Zaka smiled at the cuteness of the pups and vowed to heal up quick so she could play with them again soon. Once the room was clear, Zaka could see the familiar wood pattern of the medical room and all the supplies everywhere. Doctor Michaels was always prepared for anything with this pack, even though it was very hard to get his hands on certain things, like pain killers, since the large pharmacy sources he had in the past were drying up over time. Zaka looked at the two men sitting by her wooden bed and sighed. She knew what was coming. "So I guess you are here to pressure me Alpha?" Zaka said while staring him straight in the eyes. "You always get to the point. Yes, I am here to pressure you a tad." Alpha Thomas said as he put his arms around his son's shoulders. "Zack told me what happened and why you hit my home. Unusual reaction, normally mating the future alpha is met with great excitement and joy, not running and a broken arm." Zaka cringed at the last bit, remembering her arm was down for a while. At least it was the left arm that was down so she could still do chores. She looked at the alpha with sadness, knowing that he just wanted what was best for his son and the pack. "I know. But I am worried." Nodding towards Zack she continued, "If we were to mate, would genetics go alright? Would the pack accept me as a future leader? Would the other local packs and creatures accept me?" She sighed, looked at her broken arm and shook her head. "Even now if we were to mate, then any challenges would mean me losing. My arm is broken and I don't know how fast I heal since I have never been this hurt before." Zaka leaned back into the soft pillows on the bed, closing her eyes and trying to release her stress through deep breaths. In the middle of her fourth, the alpha cut in. "Do you love him? My son?" Zaka opened an eye and looked at him. "Maybe." Zack started smiling at that, pleased that there was still a chance. He was truly beautiful when he smiled, Zaka thought to herself. His green and brown eyes lit up, his face seemed happier, he physically relaxed more, and seemed more like the pup that followed her around than the future leader of the pack. Seeing Zack's reaction, Thomas got up to leave. "I think you two have some talking to do." And left at that. Leaving the two of them together to figure out their future together.
