Caleb's first reaction was that of an alpha worrying over a pack mate. Caleb moved quickly over to Lola kneeling next to her as he examined her body, modesty forgotten. He could see bruising along her left side and two burn marks on her right shoulder that must have come from the tazer. Caleb leaned down and scooped Lola into her arms stumbling as he stood up, the whole world spinning around him for a few seconds. As the spinning stopped Caleb moved next to the fire gently setting Lola down and sitting next to her with a flop his head killing him. He felt a warm liquid trickling down the back of his head putting his hand against it he could tell he was still bleeding a little. Turning his attention back to Lola he placed his hand on her side.<br/><br/>“Can you tell if any of your ribs are broken?” Caleb spoke in a worried tone as he inspected her side running his hands gently up her rib cage checking for damage.<br/><br/><span style="color: #008000">Before Lola could reign in her emotions she was lifted into Caleb's arms. The shock of his warm skin against her caused a slight panic in the girls heart. <span style="font-style: italic">What the hell is he doing?</span> she thought her body from head to toe reddening by the second. But even this was wiped away as she felt the stumble of his steps. Concern flowing through her, but again his actions cut her mind short. <br/><br/>A warm hand lingered gingerly along her bruised flesh. The contact bringing back the red into her face. Swallowing hard and forcing herself to look away from Caleb. Lola shifted slightly merely holding his hand in place but keeping her hazel eyes averted. Her hair sprawled gently along her bare back. <br/><br/>"I wouldn't have shifted back if they were. To much danger in something not healing correctly" it was a flat out lie but she would not admit it. That she had all but forgotten her injuries and had only thought to set him free. "Your the one bleeding, you foolish alpha" she said jokingly even as a stray tear rolled down her cheek. <span style="font-style: italic">Stupid stupid man</span> she thought as she tried to swipe it away. </span><br/><br/>Caleb chuckled slightly as he finished checking her ribs. Pulling his hand away he smiled at her as he spoke.<br/><br/>“I am aren’t I. Bleeding that is. But it should heal up....” Caleb noticed her try to hide her tear as his sentence trailed off. Moving towards her Caleb wrapped an arm around Lola’s shoulders and hugged her to him.<br/><br/>“Are you sure you are ok?” Caleb spoke with concern in his voice knowing that an experience like this did more than just physical damage.<br/><br/><span style="color: #008000">Even now she could hear the smile on his lips, his light chuckle releasing a small fluttering in her stomach. As she moved to hold his hand on her he moved releasing a twinge of emptiness to fill her, another tear falling after it's brother. <br/><br/>Before another could follow suit Caleb's warmth surrounded Lola. His scent branding her with it's allure, [i]foolish alpha[i/] she thought. As she leaned in taking in his warmth and comfort. "I'm not even sure I know what that is anymore" she spoke gently. As she moved herself closer into Caleb's warmth. Her head finding his shoulder where she burrowed herself into. <br/></span><br/>Caleb smiled as Lola pressed against him he rested his head on top of hers. After a moment Lola’s scent filled his nose her soft warmth pressed against him. Caleb started blushing as the realization that they were both naked dawned on him. His pulse and breathing sped up as he looked down at her finally taking in the sight of her naked form. Quickly looking away his face bright red Caleb stared into the fire.<br/><br/>“Umm. Are you sure you don’t want a blanket or something? W-w-w-we are both naked you know.” Caleb spoke to Lola timidly hoping she would not try to run off into the woods. She was still wounded and he did not want to leave her alone. He tried not to admit it to himself but he didn’t want her to go she smelled so nice and felt so warm.<br/><br/><span style="color: #008000">Lola could hear the slight drum of Caleb's heart, it seemed to match her own. A soft smile lifted along Lola's lips. She relished in the slight weight of Caleb as he leaned into her. "Yea I noticed when you picked me up, but it's okay" she said softly her arm releasing itself from Caleb and snaking it's way around Caleb's neck gently where it stayed. Her fingers gently touching the base of his neck. This moment was something she thought mere hours ago would not have happened. <br/><br/>But it had, and she would not surrender the moment without a fight. Even though she was embarrassed she fought it and forced her eyes to turn to Caleb her hazel eyes taking him in. She could see the soft hue of red on his face. The sight bringing a soft smile to her face. "Just a little longer, please" she pleaded gently her eyes soft as she gazed at him. <br/></span><br/>Caleb swallowed hard as he looked down into her eyes his whole body screaming at him to hold her tighter. He felt almost hypnotized as he lost himself in her hazel eyes. Smiling softly at her Caleb spoke in almost a whisper.<br/><br/>“I think I can give you that.” Almost unconsciously Caleb lowered his head towards her.<br/><br/><span style="color: #008000">The erratic beating of Lola's heart beat like a drum. Her breaths shallow as Caleb returned her gaze not like before. No defiance, no pity, no plans, just her. No longer had her mind thought of status or power only the heat that surrounded her. Only the gaze that looked back at her in Caleb's green eyes. <br/><br/>"Good" was all she could whisper as Caleb's head lowered to hers. His breath lingering over her making her aware of his touch as the seconds ticked by. Her eyes at half mast as she moved herself to breathe him in. A shiver rocked through her gently. Her other arm reaching up as she pulled him closer to her</span>.<br/><br/>As Caleb moved closer to Lola her scent filled his mind wiping out all thought there was only him and her now. Caleb smiled his eyes taking on a wolfish glint as he lowered his head and pressed his lips against Lola’s. As their lips met Caleb could feel his blood boiling in his veins his whole body aching to feel her closer.<br/><br/>Caleb wrapped his arms around Lola’s hips and pulled her to him as he parted his lips slightly.<br/><br/><span style="color: #008000">Lola was lost in Caleb, as soon as their lips had met she had all but melted into him. His arms encasing her in his strong grip. Just as Caleb lips parted had she dove in. The taste like nothing else, strong and consuming. Her breath heated as she stayed within his grasp. She could barely think, her arms lingering over Caleb's shoulders keeping her close to him. <br/><br/>The intensity all but consuming her, only the need to breath had parted her from his mouth. Her fingers reaching up to separate there once intertwining  tongues. Her breaths short as she tried to replace the air that she lost while consumed by Caleb. Her eyes open now as she watched him, wordless thoughts crashing like waves in her mind. Her other hand brushed a strand of Caleb's hair. What she expected was to be the soft touch of his hair but what laid there was still warm blood. <br/><br/>Lola's eyes became wide "you idiot your wound!" She yelled. Half embarrassed that she herself had forgotten as well. Her eyes softened her fingers removed from his lips as they trailed down his cheek. "We need to patch you up, silly alpha" she said with pure gentleness in her voice as her forehead leaned into his.</span><br/><br/>Caleb groaned as Lola pulled away immediately missing the warmth of her body her taste lingering in his mouth. Caleb took a deep breath her sweet scent heavy in the air around him. Pressing his hand to his head when Caleb pulled it away he saw the red of his blood in the flickering light of the fire. Chuckling quietly Caleb felt Lola’s warmth again as she pressed her forehead to his. Looking into her eyes Caleb grinned wolfishly.<br/><br/>“You know I completely forgot about that.” Caleb moved his head and kissed her gently on the lips again. As their lips met a loud crack shot through the air Caleb jumped quickly to his feet looking around putting himself in front of Lola. It was quiet for a few seconds and then a loud groan filled the air followed by the sounds of wood snapping. A large tree was falling over the trunk landing on the cage smashing it into pieces the noise was deafening to him. Even after the tree was down he could still hear a loud roaring in his head as a splitting pain shot through his brain.<br/><br/>Falling down on one knee Caleb looked around with one eye his other closed trying to shut away the intense pain. The more he fought it the worse it got as he fell back onto his butt. Caleb pressed his palms against his eyes as he fought to stay conscious not even realizing it when he fell over onto his back his head landing in Lola’s lap. Caleb growled as he slowly sank into the darkness.<br/><br/>“No! Go to hell Fenrir, they are mine.” Caleb managed to speak the words softly as he passed out.
