Fire and Ice, Mallory Davis [the read aloud family .txt] 📗

there. My mind was numb, all I could think about was his lips on mine. His lips were chapped and I suck on his bottom lip. He moans and pulls apart. Then he buries his face in my neck. Were both panting, trying to catch our breath. "I will always want you" he whispers. Before I can answer theres a knock at the door, I jump a little. The door opens and a guy steps in. He had shaggy blonde hair and brown eyes, with a boyish grin splattered onto his face. "What do you want, Sam?" he mumbles into my neck. 'Sams' grin just widens. "The pack wants to be introduced to there new luna, Xavier" he answers and I stare at him in shock. No one talks to a alpha like that, no one. Xavier justs laughs and removes his head from my neck. He looks at me seriously, "Do you wanna meet them?" he asks quietly. Did I really want to? Where else did I had to go? No where, I would just be on the run again. I could stay here and be a luna. I could be with my mate. I could be happy. "Of coarse" I answer. The pack

I walk out into the clearing and have to catch my breath. The people here were beautiful. Not only that, but broad and strong. They had there calculating eyes trained on me, I supress a shudder. Xavier leads me to a stage that has been sent up for us. He leads me up onto the stage, all the emotion in his eyes seemed to have drained out. All the affection, vanished. I step up closer and stand by him, squaring my sholders, I will not be intimidated so easily. Xaviers deep voice spoke put to the crowd. "This here is Red, she is my mate" he said without a hint of affection, happiness. Someone in the crowd snorts and then the whole crowd bursts out laughing. My cheeks flame up, turning a deep scarlet. Xavier growls and they go silent "Anyway, this is your luna and I expect nothing other that respect. Do I make my self clear ?" He asks and there were a few nods in the crowd. "Then lets get this party started!" he says with a wide grin. The crowd errupts in cheers, aparently they like to party. They all rush to the pack house. Once Xavier turns to me, his smile faulters and then completely vanishes. He pushes past me, heading to the pack house. Now, I stand outside by myself. Was he serious? He had to be kidding! I rush to the pack house, but he was no where to be seen. I growl out of fustration. I look around and head to the nearest bar. I chug the nearest drink, not bothering to wonder what it contains. Everyone was staring at me, eyes full of hatred. I turn and grab another glass. A man walks up to me, brown hair deep blue eyes. "Do you mind if I ask you to dance ?" he asks. I shake my head and allow him to lead me to the dance floor. A country-rock song was on and I danced my little heart out, oblivious to the stares. The man chuckled at me and when the song ended, he pushed me up against the wall. He groped me and I pushed him away. He advanced towards me again and I growled. Where was Xavier?! I turn and marched up the worn steps, seeing if he had retreated to his room. As I get closer, I hear giggling and a formalar voice. I swing the door open and there he was....Xavier with some blonde girl....half naked. 

The venom

Anger is the first emotion that hits me. I clench my fists and my body trembles with rage. Xavier locks eyes with me. I turn and run out the door. All eyes follow me out the door, I hear Xavier yell my name, but I keep going. My heart thumps loudly in pain and the cold air is a relief. I let out a flustrated howl and shift into my red wolf. I run, my paws like thunder on the forest floor. I follow my nose, smelling something foreign. Eventually I start to hear a muffled cry. I plea, someone was crying. I follow the noise and find a little girl in the fetal position on the ground, crying. She was part of the pack, I could smell it. She runs to me and raps her arms around my neck. Aparently she could smell it too. Her small frame was fragile against my huge wolf body. She barelys her face in my fur, her blonde curls tickling my nose. Her inocent blue eyes look up at me. A branch staps and leaves crunch. I whip my head around and two people step into the moonlight. Vampires, my nose told me. I growled, low in my throat and pushed the girl behind me. Then let out a dark chuckle and charged. The first went for my face, but I blocked the blow with my jaws snapping around his neck. He slumps down onto the ground and the second one incircles me. "We've underestamated you, wolf" he says. I snarl, an animalistic sound that I've never made. He lunges, not at me, but the girl. I jump in front of him, sending us tumbling to the Earth. We roll to a stop and I feel fangs sink deep into my arms. I roar in outrage and tackle him, riping his cold flesh apart with my teeth. He hisses and I rip another hunk and hot blood pours out, sticking to my fur. My breath is hurried and my chest heaves. Adreniline pumps in my veins, just like the vampire poison. I roar a horrid sound the shakes the Earth. Pain sends my veins on fire, my bones seem to shrivel up to ash. My eyes burn and my actions turn animalistic. The girl comes and hugs me, her arms trembling in fear. I breath heavyier and heavier. Looking around for prey, for something to kill and I find my self trembling. I her a wolf aprouch, a bunch. Xavier, his black wolf and icy eyes stare at me in worry. He shifts, "Red, are you ok!"  he rushes towards me and I shift, screaming. "GET AWAY!" I roar. The hot venom burning my insides into nothing. I hear my bones crack and my body tremble in rage. To much...it seemed to say. Pain turned my vison black and I let out a murderous scream before lunging at Xavier. 

The guilt

She looked wild, animalistic. More animal than human, belonging to the wild as much as she does to me. Her red fur was vibrant and her eyes...wild. Specs of gold seemed to explode within them. Two dead vampires lay at her feet and her arm drips blood..blue blood. Oh no, the vampire must of bit her! How had she managed to kill them? One wolf had enough trouble bringing one down, two was nearly impossible. I look at the little girl that is next to Red. The girl looked at her with so much...love. She has that affect on people. I recongnize her as one of the orphans. I shift and run towards Red. He wolf snarls, instincts kicking in. She shifts and lets out a roar. Her skin is pale and is covered in blood, some hers , some vampire. I sigh, she was...beautiful. An angel of death. Her eyes glaze over and she cocks her head to the side. Her lips curl up in a snarl and her eye twitches. She screams and ear piercing scream and lunges at me full force. Luckily two wolfs jump in and restrain her. Then she blacks out, probably out of pain. Anger fills my trembling body. Whoever did this to her...I would make them pay. I look at the vampires arms, the dark blood clan. Go now! My wolf rages on inside me. I look over at Red, she needs me. She had found me with Brittany, thinking that we had done something. I had spilled beer on her shirt and took her upstairs to give her one of mine, but was out of clean ones. I took off my shirt to give it to her until I could find another. The pain that I had saw in Red's eyes nearly had me crying. I run my hands through my hair, and sigh. I look at the girl still sitting on the forest floor. She was crying, "Hey, are you ok?" I ask her. She looks up and fear fills her eyes when she recognizes me. "It's ok" I whisper. "She saved my life" the girl whispers, turning away. "Hey, why dont you come back to my house and we'll get you some food and wait until Red wakes up. I'm sure she'll be glad to see you" I say. The little girls eyes light up "really?" she asks. I nod and pick her up. "Whats your name?" I ask. She smiles brightly showing me her dimples. "Ruth!" She says I chuckle and take her to the pack house. I would take care of her for now, for Red's sake.
