2024-10-29 19:42:56The only reason why Eddie woke up was because he felt someone looking at him.
He thought it was Alicia until he felt a slap against his face. Surprised, his eyes flew open, and there was Lucas, a strange look of fury and desperation on his face. "Wake up, motherfucker." he said though gritted teeth. "What-Lucas, what the hell are you doing here?" Eddie said, sitting up as Alicia woke up too, her expression confused, then guarded. "Who are you? How'd you get in here?" Alicia asked, and Lucas wasted no time to pressing a blade against her throat. Alicia cried out, a crazed look in Lucas's eyes. "Don't say nothing, skank, and you won't get hurt." he threatened, Alicia's eyes going dark as she looked at him. Eddie held on to her elbow, shaking his head, then turning his head to Lucas. "What do you want now? Did your alpha send you here?" he asked, and Lucas scoffed, sounding a bit unhinged. "That asshole doesn't give a shit about me. I was only leverage to make your life miserable." Lucas stated, more of the crazy entering in his voice. "Still doesn't answer why you're here." Alicia said stiffly, and Lucas threw a lamp against the wall, glowering at her. She didn't even flinch. "I can't compete and you're the owner of the fight club, Eddie. I want you to change the rules." he stated, hands balled into fists. "Are you fucking dumb or something? You're fighting humans not werewolves. I ain't changing jack shit." he replied, and Lucas let out a frustrated sigh, pinching his nose bridge. "I really didn't want to fucking do this, but it seems that my hands are tied." pressing a button on the side of his head, a strange whistle sounding out, windows shattering. Eddie shielded Alicia from the glass, feeling cuts go on his arm and face. Doors burst through, and Joseph's pack charged through, pulling the rest of Eddie's pack off of their beds. Fights broke out, and Joseph stepped through, a smirk on his face. "Nice work, bait. Now get the fuck out there, and help the others." he said. Lucas did as he was told, only stopping to stare at Eddie for a beat longer, and then disappearing out the doorway. Joseph casually strolled in, his eyes going from Eddie to Alicia. He looked her up and down, licking his lips, and Alicia ducked behind trembling a bit. Seeing her do this, Joseph took a step closer. No longer able to ignore the wolfish desire to defend his mate, and his territory, Eddie stood up, nearing close to Joseph. "Get the fuck out, and you'll live." Eddie threatened, hands balled into fists as he bumped his chest against Joseph's. Joseph merely smiled. "Let me take your mate off your hands, and then I'll think about it." Eddie snapped; he charged at Joseph, shoving him down to the ground, eyes wild, teeth sharpened. Joseph reacted accordingly, his massive wolf form almost taking up the whole room. This didn't scare Eddie at all; he launched himself at Joseph, snarling into his wolf form, their mouths snapping at one another as the walls were smashed as each one fought for the upper hand. At one point, the tumbled out through the wall closest to the window, landing outside in the grass, their forms tangled as they bit in every available skin there was. Eddie managed to be on top as his teeth sank into the side of Jospeh's neck, slamming his head down over and over again. Joseph struggled to be freed, swiping at Eddie with his paws, and claws, but it was to no use. He howled, catching the attention of his pack, and they all came at once to Eddie. Horrendous; Joseph's pack tore into Eddie, causing him to let go of Joseph who scrambled away, blood dripping on the side of his neck. He whimpered, and growled, his fur standing on edge. Joseph's pack took turns biting Eddie on his hind legs, his fur, and trying to grab him into the death hold as he had Joseph in. In a flash, four streaks crossed the threshold, and slammed into each of Joseph's pack, causing them to fal to the side. Eddie's pack had come to the rescue, their growls, and barks taking over, as they stepped in and pulled back the pack from attacking all at once at Eddie. Eddie's eyes locked on Joseph and he ran towards him, tackling him the furthest from the house, a sickening crunch sounding out. Joseph let out a yelp, trying to pull away from Eddie who had him in a body lock. As Eddie looked over Joseph, he grimaced seeing Joseph's paw twisted at the wrist, the paw and claws in a direction no hand should ever be. "I warned you to stay away from my home but you didn't listen. Now, you're just going to pay." Eddie snarled in Joseph's face, some spittle landing on Joseph's nose. And then a shot rang out, causing the chaos to cease. Frantic eyes searched for the noise, noses in the air trying to sniff out the danger. Then another shot rang out, a bullet flying a little over Joseph's shoulder, and as Eddie looked for the person that shot it, his eyes widened at the sight of his poor, injured wife. She had a grim face, pointing at the gun at Joseph who began to shake like a leaf. "I know you can survive most things but not this. These are silver bullets and I'm going to shoot every single one of them into she threatened, causing Joseph to shake even more as if he realized that he did have a weakness and a short woman was exploiting it just because. Even the fight between the packs ceased, as they all stared Alicia, waiting to see what she was going to do next. Joseph's pack kept their distance, not trying to get in the way of them both.

The forced one The aftermath
Turn it off, he had begged, begged because the thick substance was reaching his shins, and he could hear and feel more pouring down into the hole the construction workers had dug up. They were taunting him and insulting him, and though he knew he had messed up the heist, he didn’t want to die. Especially of suffocation, and especially like this. Suddenly, he heard someone being hit in the head with something, with a force so great, a crunching noise emitted in the air. Gun shots rang out, and then a body flew into the hole with Eddie, no longer moving and then soon covered in cement. Eddie screamed, trying to clamor back up the walls but it was slick with wet cement, and he felt like he was going to have a panic attack when- The end stick of a sledgehammer was placed in the hole, and Eddie scrambled to grab it, yanking himself up out of there. Terry stood there, an angry look in his eyes, but there was something there that wasn’t before, a strange yellow hue in his usual
The forced one Moments before disaster
The car wheezed, and bumbled, as Eddie drove to the store. It was late, almost midnight but he knew a place where it stayed opened twenty-four hours. Sure enough, the little store Pinkys still had it’s open sign on. Eddie parked the car, and ran in, going past the various bottles of alcohol, his eyes landing on a bundle of cilantro. He snatched it right up, heading back to the cashier, a smile on his face. He felt eyes on him suddenly, and he turned around, seeing a man in a long trench coat, and a hat that covered half of his facial features. Eddie glared at him, waiting for the guy to take a hint and to buzz off. The guy straightened up, walking out the door, the bell announcing him leaving. Eddie nodded, handing the cahier his cilantro, and throwing in a water bottle. The cashier rang it up, and he paid in a hundred, walking out without his change. Getting back into the car, he threw the materials into the passenger side, whistling a bit. The car wheeze
The forced one The slight changes
To say that he wanted to call in for his shift at Benito’s Carne y Dulces was an understatement, but deep down, Eddie really wanted some normalcy. Speaking of which, was the sun always this bright? Eddie found himself squinting as he walked into the small store, the bell tinkling. The smell of raw meat hit his nose, and his mouth watered a bit, the butcher in the back cutting what looked like a lamb’s leg. Eddie greeted him, hoping his seven-hour shift would be over in no time. He still had to show up to help Lucas with his own fighting, and he would be there just a little before nine. At the same time, Eddie hoped that the kid would dip out of it, because to be honest, he wanted to sleep the week away. As he was organizing the drinks, and taking inventory, the door opened, and absentmindedly, Eddie said “Welcome, just let me know when you’re ready!’ He heard the customer, a woman, reply lamely, and Eddie went back to checking off the number of bottles of vodka he had
The forced one Answers needed
When Eddie woke up, he was nude. He was passed out in a random part of grass, a cornfield to his left. He heard mooing, and saw a field of cows, watching him disinterested. He rubbed the front part of his head and winced. Where exactly was he? He panicked when he saw blood covered all over his torso, wiping it off from his mouth. As he lifted up his hand, he froze when he saw someone stuck to it. It looked vaguely like Lucas’s shirt that he had on last night, but that would mean… In a flurry of panic, Eddi jumped up, looking all around. His body was tensed as he listened, but besides the animal life around him, and his own heart beating, he couldn’t hear anyone else. But he wasn’t going to give up that easy; Eddie ran, ignoring the fact that he was basically nude, his breathing even as he continued to run, and making sure he checked every tree, he could find nothing. Eddie could feel the tears wanting to run down his face. He was a fucking idiot for not listening to
The forced one Unexpected reunion
Terry flashed Eddie a smile, and as he bounded down the steps, he didn't look like he wanted to say anything towards him though. But too bad for him, Eddie was already out of the car and running behind him. Alicia shouted for Eddie to stop, but he ignored her cries, tackling down Terry to the ground. They wrestled but Terry had the upperhand, as he did have more experience in combat than Eddie ever would. Eddie found himself pinned on his back, Terry's forearm pressed against Eddie's neck. "What the hell do you want, Eddie?" Terry asked, eyes glaring down at him. "I want to know what the hell you're doing here." he choked out, his vision getting a bit spotty as he began to lose air. Terry leaned back away from Eddie, and he sucked in a quick breath. "I had some business to attend to with the alpha." was all that he offered to say, getting up from the ground, and then helping Eddie out. Eddie took his hand wordlessly, standing up next to him. Terry di
The forced one Not the choice he made
Eddie is silent as he stares down at the current dying alpha. He glances at Alicia, who motions for him to start talking. "I don't agree." Eddie replied, and he saw Alicia stiffen next to him. The sickly man stares at Eddie blankly, before roaring in laughter, a laugh so loud, and forceful, it shakes his frame. "You are the perfect choice for the pack." he replied, after he was done for laughing. At that, Eddie took a step forward, a scowl on his face. "You didn't even speak to me about it. You just went ahead and did it! I have a life, you know." Eddie responded, hands balled into fists. "Bah! A life of poverty." the old man said, sitting up, a frown on his face. Eddie darted forward then, grabbing the oldster by the front of his shirt, shaking him a bit. "How can you say that when you have a similar background as me? How can you say that when the first time I shifted, I might have eaten a friend of mine?" The old alpha is wheezing, and we
The forced one What happens now...
Alicia doesn't make a peep as they head back to Isan's room. The silence is interrupted by Isan's breathing, and monitors. He looks at both of them with a calmness, like a man who has already accepted his fate. "I understand your resentment towards you, really I do Eddie." Isan starts, but Eddie cuts him off, motioning him to stop talking. "How did you even know about me?" Eddie asks, Isan looking surprised, but smiling up at him. "Your friend David, or how you knew him, Terry was a big help in that. Says you were a good man with a strong head on your shoulders. I wanted to see for myself, so I invited you to my fighting ring. I watched you for months, and yes even at one point stalked you a little. Outside or in the ring, I saw a fighter, and when I saw you with your Abuelita, I knew I found the one that I wanted to take my place." he looked away for a moment, thinking about his next words in silently. "I know you may think my decision was rash, and it was. I ne
The forced one The Pack
Eddie stares blankly at Alicia, his mouth stuffed with food. He looks a sight, fork raised up with food on it as he's readying for another bite. He clearly isn't ready to meet them, but Alicia is looking past that. After all, he is the new alpha that she must respect. Eddie chugs his juice, wiping his mouth with a napkin as he stares at her. "Don't you think it's a little early to meet the pack?" "Not at all. In fact, it's taken too long for you to meet them. You were supposed to take charge before Isan passed so he could show you the ropes." Alicia fumed, tapping her foot against the floor as her annoyance grew. Eddie says naught, just shoveling more food into his mouth, and Alicia reaches out, grabbing him by the ear as she forces him on his feet. Eddie grabs his plate, as Alicia leads him into the living room. All conversation stops as they look from Alicia to Eddie, and Eddie pulls back, his face going a light red. There's two guys, and two girls,

Sneak attack
The only reason why Eddie woke up was because he felt someone looking at him. He thought it was Alicia until he felt a slap against his face. Surprised, his eyes flew open, and there was Lucas, a strange look of fury and desperation on his face. "Wake up, motherfucker." he said though gritted teeth. "What-Lucas, what the hell are you doing here?" Eddie said, sitting up as Alicia woke up too, her expression confused, then guarded. "Who are you? How'd you get in here?" Alicia asked, and Lucas wasted no time to pressing a blade against her throat. Alicia cried out, a crazed look in Lucas's eyes. "Don't say nothing, skank, and you won't get hurt." he threatened, Alicia's eyes going dark as she looked at him. Eddie held on to her elbow, shaking his head, then turning his head to Lucas. "What do you want now? Did your alpha send you here?" he asked, and Lucas scoffed, sounding a bit unhinged. "That asshole doesn't give a shit about me. I

Strange sensations
Eddie didn't know how far Alicia wanted to go. On one hand, she was touching his bare chest, and scars everywhere, hungrily kissing his lips. On the other hand, she didn't move to lay down on the bed or anything. In fact, she was leaning into him so much, he was pretty sure she wanted him on the bed. Eddie laid on his back, and she clamored on top of him, gripping his shoulders tightly. Suddenly, her shirt came off, a lacy purple bra staring back at Eddie. "Eddie." she breathed, before leaning down, and grabbing his face, and kissing his lips with full force, his hands on her ass as he tried to slide her- "What the fuck?!" a voice cried out, freezing both of them in place. They both turn to see Tric standing shocked in front of the doorway, wearing her hair up in a bun, eyes wide. She wears her pajamas, and is looking from Alicia to Eddie, in astonishment. A hand grabs Tric by her shoulder, pulling her away from the door, and Eddie can hear Addie whi

(Fake) Marriage
Eddie is sitting in his room, hands in his hair. Now that everyone had gone out for food, and Alicia had gone out to Sacremento to get his grandmother and cousin settled in, he was very tired. Eddie felt drained, and his life got even more complicated now that he and Alicia were "married." He was curious about what had happened before her life, and he was going to ask her as soon as she got back. Then his thoughts went to Lucas and how he was now a part of Joseph's pack. This was the worst outcome that could have happened, and Eddie really needed a drink or a smoke. Getting up, he decided to head over to the local bar, where it was just on the other side of town, away from Joseph's claim. He didn't have the energy to stop fighting if problems arose; if joseph managed to find him, and decided to toy with him again, he wasn't going to stop until Joseph was dead. He placed on his shoes, walking outside as a summer breeze hit him. Eddie looked up at the sky, wher

Nothing can be done
Eddie wants to rip apart Joseph piece by piece. And his pack must sense it, because they crowd around him, giving him warning growls. He doesn't care, his own pack brushing up in front of him. The tension and anger is making Eddie's fur stand on end, and he tries to dispel it by shaking his head. It doesn't help; this was a choice that Lucas more than likely got talked into. Although he was eighteen, there's no way he would have chosen a life like this. Even with the estates, and money, Eddie still yearned for his life. And now his friend was a werewolf for his rival pack. Eddie could feel his body trying to talk to Lucas or Joseph, but since Lucas was connected to a different pack, he couldn't say the words he wanted to say. "Look, Eddie, I tried to civil. Didn't spring anything on you, and I gave you many options to leave. And you ignored all of them." Joseph said, inspecting his nails. "Nothing more will happen if you'll just leave and never come back. I'll

Fight it out
They pile on Eddie, Joseph running inside the house. Gunshots fire out, and Eddie can feel himself losing control of his human side, as his wolf struggles to be freed. He snarls, and howls, knowing that they will hear him crying out. The girl smashes her fist in his stomach, cutting off the howl, and sending him to the ground. The breath leaves his body for a moment, and he stumbles downward. Another one jumps on his back, claws digging into his side, and he feels a sense of warmth dripping down his sides. The smell of his own blood catches his attention, and it was with that the change took over. The others flew off of him, as Eddie let out a furious howl, shifting into his wolf form, fangs flashing. Suddenly, Eddie's pack charged in, snarling and howling. They crowded the front of Eddie's grandmother house, tearing up the grass and flowers of it. Shots are heard from inside of the house, and Joseph dives out, landing on the ground. He whistles, causing his pack to growl, but t

Everything broke loose
Litzy went into the kitchen, and began to cook, the smell of bacon, and then onions drifting through the air. Eddie could feel his stomach rumble with hunger, but he decided to stay back. Abuelita began to tell Eddie everything that had happened since he up and disappeared three weeks ago. How these new cholos had seem more different, and animal like. Senora Lorena had even placed a rosary out, and said her prayers to them. They had laughed, but Abuelita explained that the only reason that had been done was because of how non-humans they were. Surely, there was something paranormal about them, demons or diablos pretending to be humans. Eddie didn't want to brush her worries off-she was spot on, but also he felt like revealing their true nature was a breach of something. He held his grandmother's hands, trying to comfort her. There was a knock then, and everyone froze, before a clatter was heard in the kitchen. Litzy strode over again with the shotgun, loading it

Problems arise
Eddie slipped back into town, telling his pack to stay back to better get familiar with the new town they were staying at.They seemed reluctant but agreed to his orders and watched him leave.To be honest, Eddie didn't want the other pack to feel threatened by bringing his whole pack. And all he wanted to do was see his Abuelita.Eddie still sent over money to her accounts, and when she had called him and asked how he was getting the money, Eddie had lied and said he was back to doing odd jobs.Abuelita had accepted this answer, saying to praise God for the blessings. Eddie nodded, ensuring that he was placing a good chunk of his estate into his Abuelita's savings. He had borrowed a car, a simple black one that didn't really catch too much attention, and slipped inside, starting it.Once on the road, he sped off in the familiar path to his home, noticing that most of the people weren't out on the yards nor sidewalks.The town seemed emptier, and he couldn't see anyone running around

The case with rivals
The swelling has gone down in Eddie's jaw, and they have settled into their new home in the countryside. Eddie will go over to his Abuelita's in the morning, but for now, he mopes about the cheap shot that Joseph took. Him, and his pack disappeared once they saw that Eddie was on the ground. And though the hit hurt, Eddie was more stunned at seeing Lucas alive. Stunned and relieved. After talking it over with his pack, Eddie concluded that the blood found on his clothes was in fact the blood of a deer. "Werewolves don't usually eat humans. I mean if you shift too close to them the first time, damage will be caused but to eat them? Not likely." Tric had said, as she bounded down the stairs, David in front. Eddie stared after her, not noticing the couch dip as Addie sat next to him. "Are you okay Eddie?" Addie asked, and Eddie dropped the ice pack he was using for the swelling on his face. "Don't really know how to feel. I mean, Lucas is alive but he's w

Unease
The moment the tires of the RV crossed into town, Eddie felt something prickle under his skin. Faint alarm bells went off in his head, and they got stronger as they made way to their new home. Beside hime, Addie had stopped talking, noticing the way he had stiffened. "Is something the matter?" she asked, which brought Brayden's attention. David, who had traded places with Brayden driving the RV, looked up as well. Only Tric said nothing, as she turned on her side, and slept, the blankets up to her ears. "It's probably nothing." Eddie tried to assure, but there was something there. Something he couldn't pinpoint, and if he was in his wolf form, his hairs would be standing on end. David hit the brakes then, causing everyone to lurch forward, and Tric fell off the bed, swearing as she landed on her back. "What the fuck David?" Tric yelled, rubbing the back of her head, as she got up. "We have a problem." David said in a tight voice, and Eddie got up then,
