				It was just after seven when William Skar pulled up to the normal looking two storey suburban home, glancing down at the GPS coordinates on his phone to make sure he was at the right place. Looking through the heavily tinted windows of his dark blue SUV, William let out an annoyed growl before taking out the keys and stepping out of the vehicle. He was a tall, pale man, almost albino in the lack of pigmentation with strong broad shoulders and sunfire eyes that almost appeared to be glowing in the darkening suburb street. An elegantly tailored three piece suit and shoes that cost twice as much as the car adorned William's muscular frame, looking like a professional assassin straight from an action movie, which was essentially what William was, with one notable exception.<br><br>William was technically dead. A vampire, to be precise. And across the street? The home of a Werewolf Alpha and his mate. Normally when a vampire assassin appeared at the doorstep of one of the most powerful pack leaders in the area, that was a sign of trouble. Vampire and werewolf politics had never meshed well in the past, but nowadays peace between races had remained mostly stable. The Vampire Lords stayed in their grand castles while the wolves stayed to the forests...or at least, that's how it used to be before modern civilization happened. Now everyone was moving on up, getting cozy next to the humans they used to terrorize and lord over, signing up for Netflix and online shopping. The Vampire Lords now ruled from the shadowy spheres of corporate and political influences, using soldiers like William to go in and surgically strike at issues that required a more violent touch.<br><br>But killing wasn't why he was here today.<br><br>It was just a week ago when he'd received the phone call from Michael, the local Alpha. Communication between wolves and vamps wasn't too common, but William owed Michael a favor for help on a job a few years back. As far as Michael went, he wasn't too bad for a werewolf. Dependable, loyal, the usual traits that were expected from a Alpha in a pack. Unlike other Alpha's that seemed to be all about snarling and looking for whatever petty reason they could find to show off their so called 'dominance'. Michael wasn't like that at all, which was why William had felt comfortable giving the wolf a favor to be called in. And now here he was, in the middle of suburbia. <br><br>Apparently one of the packs hadn't been responding well to the decades of peace and was starting to grow restless and aggressive. A call for a gathering of Alpha's had gone out and Michael was going to be heading out, leaving his mate behind, a choice she apparently was not too happy with. Worried for her safety, Michael requested that William look after her for the few days he'd be away. The Vampire Lords were also in agreement that William go and provide what intel he could about the current state of politics within the werewolf community. As much as everyone around him tried to spin it, William internally called it what it really was...babysitting.<br><br>Making his way up to the lovely looking house, William took it all in stride. Coming from a recent assassination job in the bitter cold of Northern Russia, a few days in the suburbs with decent weather didn't sound so bad. Knocking on the front door, William waited patiently with a slight smile on his pale lips. Home sweet home...

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It had been so many years since violence had plagued their race, it seemed as though that time of peace was currently under threat. It wasn’t a strange thought that some of their kind would still remain in the old ways; such as fighting for Alpha, protecting their land, thriving as a pack. Many packs had struggled to turn in their animalistic ways to conform with the ever changing society. It seemed that one particular pack had taken it upon themselves to break the meld, to return to their former selves without so much as a word. Of course, there would always be animalistic tendencies that would arise, the issue now was that the particular pack in question were no longer attempting to control it. They were planning an uprising, it had to be stopped by any means before the humans discovered what really lurked in the darkness.<br>&nbsp;<br>“You’re kidding, right?” A slender, tall woman barked. Her frame was taller than most of her younger pack members; yet she remained curved, especially along her hips which hinted at her rather appealing genes. “I should be there with you, Michael. I am an Alpha here too; I deserve to be there.” The male gave a light sigh, “Look, I’ll only be gone a few days. It’s just a meeting. If something else develops, I’ll call. Right now you need to be with the pack, keep them in line, you know.” It was something Evie couldn’t disagree with, however, she still felt insulted that Michael would choose to go without her. This matter concerned their pack, she wanted to be there to put her view across. Evelyn wasn’t the humblest of werewolves, but she would do anything to protect her pack.<br>&nbsp;<br>“I have someone coming to look over you all while I’m gone. He’s an old friend, he’ll be there if you need anything. Okay?” The mere thought of her needing help struck a chord within the she wolf. “So, you want me to stay here to look after the pack, then you ask for help from some stranger? Michael, you’re on thin ice.” Her tone was cold, no longer booming through the room. With a soft huff, she turned on her heel and marched down stairs. The home was incredibly welcoming. Open space, neutral colours, warm golden lighting. It was everything a family home should be. There were enough rooms for most of the pack to have a room to themselves, although some chose to share. Evelyn had always wanted a family; she couldn’t have asked for more. Well, possibly that her husband trusted her to hold down the fort if he wouldn’t allow her to attend the meeting.<br>&nbsp;<br>A week later, Evelyn’s feelings had only simmered. There had been several roaring arguments, much to her pack’s dismay. It was clear the she wolf was not impressed with feeling belittled. Her role was as important as his, in fact, she was far more vicious than he was. No doubt that’s the reason he wouldn’t allow her to go. In her past, Evelyn would have ignored every warning and decided she’d have gone anyway, but she wasn’t as reckless. Michael had that way with people, he was so level headed and dependable that it became second nature for her to submit in one way or another, knowing he had their best interests at heart. However, the fact that someone was coming over to help them, that was one fact she wouldn’t get over.<br>&nbsp;<br>Unlike their previous history of hunting for their food, most packs had begun to turn to home cooking. It was safer than being spotted hunting, unless they lived somewhere rural. A wolf sighting was never a peaceful experience, it often caused hunters to fill the woods, searching for the beast that may rome into a nearby town and kill an innocent human. With such a change in place, it left Evie cooking almost every meal. Mountains of meat would line the grill and stove. It was certainly a memorable experience. Cooked food was nowhere near as beneficial as a fresh hunt, but it was something. It was needless to mention that at least it managed to keep the thrill of the hunt at bay, which was the most important thing at this stage.<br>&nbsp;<br>The knock at the door rung out through her mind, echoing through the home. “Someone get that,” The blonde yelled as she flipped several, large T-bone steaks along the grill on the back patio. There was no movement. A soft oath left her lips as she began to make her way back into the home. It wasn’t long before she reached the large old oak door, it was one feature they’d kept. With a hefty groan, the door swung open to reveal hazel hues glancing up toward a rather pale looking man. Eve was dressed in her usual jeans and t shirt mix, she wasn’t a housewife and that was all too clear. Her golden curls were bundled up in a messy bun, she wore a pair of ankle boots that looked as if they’d seen a few rough days. “So, you’re the babysitter,” She snorted softly, admiring his size. No doubt he could hold his own, but that wasn’t an excuse for having him loom over their pack.<br>&nbsp;<br>“Well, I’m cooking out back. Join if you want,” Her feminine tone soared through the home as she strode back toward the patio. The garden was fairly big, it contained various plants and flowers, roses being prominent. As well as lush grass from the patio to the fence. It was almost… Perfect. As Evelyn returned to the grill she swiftly began coating the steaks in a homemade barbeque sauce, causing a good deal of smoke to arise as the meat sizzled. Several pack members suddenly descended the wooden staircase, making their way out toward the sweet scents of meat. No doubt to check out their new babysitter, too. They found it amusing that their Alpha needed a babysitter, it had been hard for Evelyn to temper at bay while her pack playfully joked.<br><br>&nbsp;“Sit, eat.” She ordered as she piled up the steak on a large silver platter and placed it carefully down on a large picnic bench that covered a good deal of the patio. Instead of sitting down with the pack, she simply made her way through the home to find their new guest. Once finding him, she folded her arms across her ample chest, inhaling his scent for a moment. Vampire. Perfect, just perfect. “Look, I don’t care what you owe Michael. You’re not needed here. As much as I wish to honour my husband’s choices, he’s very wrong about this. So if you don’t mind, take your leave and we’ll both get back to our lives. We’ll tell him you looked after us then left before he got home. How does that sound?” Her feminine tone was smooth, attempting to sound as well thought out as possible. Hopefully, he’d take the bait and leave.<br>&nbsp;

				Waiting patiently at the front door, William wondered if he'd received the right address. He could smell meat cooking and there was a certain 'wolfy' stench in the air but that didn't necessarily mean he was in the right place. His hand had just started to reach for his phone when his ears picked up the sound of movement in the house, his hand dropping back down to his side as the front door opened. A youngish looking blonde woman, who was most definitely older than she appeared, stood at the front door looking at him like he was something that had been dragged in off the road. Clearly he'd been expected and very clearly was only going to be begrudgingly welcomed into the home.<br><br>"I am" William answered simply, stepping into the threshold of them home. Contrary to many popular beliefs, Vampire's didn't need permission to enter a home just as silver certainly wasn't a weakness to either vampires or werewolves. Little lies to help the humans feel protected on cold, fearful nights. Closing the front door behind him, William was about to introduce himself but the wife had already vanished, going back to her cooking. The succulent smell of cooking meat was a tempting delicacy, but William preferred getting the formal introductions complete between himself and Michael's mate before he inserted himself into the pack for the next few days. Kicking off his shoes, William leaned silently against the hallway wall and patiently waited for her to return, listening to the sounds of the pack joining up for dinner in the backyard. <br><br>It didn't take long for her to return, arms crossed with a fiery look about her that wiped away any lingering doubt William had about this woman being anything but the Alpha's mate. This was a woman who was meant to be in charge and was used to orders being followed. A little smile touched William's lips as he listened to the oh-so-generous offer, allowing a few moments of silence to hang in the air between vampire and werewolf before finally replying in an equally smooth and diplomatic voice "Unfortunately for you, I don't care how you feel in this situation. Michael thinks I'm needed here, so I'll stay until he says otherwise or returns. So, as a matter of fact, I do mind. I'll be staying and you can explain to him how wrong he was to send me once he returns"<br><br>Taking a bold step forward, William now stood close enough for him to really look into her eyes, his mixed golden red eyes borrowing down into her hazel ones. He was taller than her, not by much, but enough that his head would need to be tilted slightly to look down at her. The scent of her cooking was wafting off of her, mixed with the sweat and smells of working so close to such heat. Her jeans and t-shirt clashing sharply with his more pricey suit jacket and tie, perhaps a teasingly foreboding hint at the clashes that were to come if William put his foot down on staying. <br><br>Which was precisely what he planned to do.<br><br>"Now look, <em>Evelyn</em>..." Michael had mentioned her name to William before he left, though he would have preferred to hear the name from her own lips first "I understand that this may seem like a matter of pride to you, especially with werewolf culture being what it is with Alpha's and looking tough, but I'm not here to leer over your shoulder. I'm here to be a shadow, something I am rather skilled at, and not get in the way. You won't even realize I'm here, unless you truly find me so <em>distracting</em>" A predatory grin revealed the sharp fangs at he edge of William's mouth, fangs usually kept hidden until the moment of feeding "My name is William, by the way. William Skar, and it is a <em>pleasure</em> to make your acquaintance"

				The fact that Michael, of all people, had asked a <em>vampire</em> for a favor did indicate to the vampire’s credentials. Michael wasn’t one to place someone he didn’t trust into a situation such as this. Clearly he’d trust this vampire with the life of his pack and wife, no doubt there was a good reason for that. However, just because Michael trusted this vampire didn’t mean Evelyn had to. The thought of anyone having to babysit her, vampire or not, was incredibly insulting. By now, she hoped Michael would have seen she could protect her pack and herself with ease; she wasn’t a wolf that could easily be put down. Michael was currently making her feel like less of a she wolf than she’d ever felt. How could he doubt her like this?<br><br>Soon enough, the vampire had a retort for her offer. It wasn’t what she was expecting, which only encouraged her rage to simmer beneath the surface. Even if he had attempted to curb her reaction by his smartass comment of her showing Michael how pointless this had all been, it wasn’t enough to stop her from allowing a low, primal growl to ebb from deep within her chest. “My husband lacks the ability to see women as able to protect themselves. There is no need for you to stay here.” The she wolf immediately glanced up as she saw the hint of movement from the vampire, he took a step toward her. If he’d been another wolf, she’d have floored him without question. It was almost considered a crime to step up to an Alpha, unless of course, they were seeking to fight for such a position; it no longer meant death to the losing side, but Evelyn would’ve been happy to excuse that rule.<br><br>The she wolf couldn’t help but notice how contrasting they were. He was taller, which was a welcomed change to the shorter men she was used to. His broad figure dwarfed her slender, curved one. Little did he know the power that resided within her was more than willing to lash out. As he spoke her name the woman couldn’t help a small twitch of her lower lip, it was a tick she had when the rage was so close to spilling. He spoke to her much like a child, he was dictating how this was going to go; she wasn’t going to stand for that. Not in her house.<br><br>“William, it isn’t a pleasure to meet you at all. If you think I’m <em>distracted</em> by an overgrown <em>vampire</em> with an inflated ego then you’re sorely mistaken. My husband clearly has lost his mind if he thinks you will be of any use to me and the pack. You keep your fangs in around my pack, if I even get a hint of your meddling with them I will tear you apart. Friend of my husband’s or not, nobody touches my family.” Her tone was cold, her gaze stern as she took a moment to stare into those red hues of his. They were… like nothing else she’d ever seen. A glint of gold shimmered over her hazel hues for a moment; a predator’s gaze. If he thought he was the only one with a beast inside, he was so, so, wrong.<br><br>Evelyn didn’t hesitate to turn on her heel and make her way out to the garden. She simply clicked her tongue to hint that he should follow. “So, Michael clearly thinks we need some help around here. A vampire will be lingering around, he’s here for our protection. His name is William.” Evelyn’s tone was hasty, as if she were trying to get the introduction over with as soon as possible. Several of the females glanced toward the house, all too curious. “We’ve never seen a vampire before, does he have fangs, like us?” The younger one, Emma, questioned softly. “They do, if he shows you his, you scream for me.” When William would join them Evelyn took a moment to call Michael.<br><br>“This isn’t going to work. You need to call him off, now.”<br>“Evie, what’s wrong? He may be a bit… well, look, it’s only for a few days. Love, calm down.”<br>“Michael, you’re practically telling the pack that I can’t defend us for only a few days. How do you think this is going to go after he leaves? They won’t believe I can protect them.”<br>“Oh Evelyn, they know it’s because of the current situation. I spoke to them a few nights ago. You are all a target, especially you. I can’t let anything happen to you.”<br><br>Evelyn didn’t bother to reply, she simply ended the call before marching back toward the pack. “So he’s here to stay then?” One of the older males piped up, a slow smirk crossing his lips. “I think it’s cool, we have a vampire on our side now. Want to train with us William?” Evelyn shook her head slowly, “Don’t even think about it. William isn’t here to train with us. Now go to bed, all of you, we’re going to go running tomorrow.” The way her hues began to glisten that familiar golden tint had the pack up and moving toward the home. Once in awhile, she’d taken them to a forest to unleash all of that pent up rage; she needed it more than ever. No doubt they’d have a tough day of training tomorrow. <br><br>The she wolf hadn’t ever considered if vampires slept. “If you sleep, there’s a guest room across the hall from the master bedroom, where I sleep. If there’s so much as a peep from you, I’ll make an example of why we don’t need protection.” Her gaze met his for a moment before she began to make her way past him. This arrangement was ridiculous, there was no way it’d work. Michael was going to get more than he bargained for when he arrived home.<br><br>Later that evening, the pack home was silent. Soft, tender snores escaped from several rooms. It was always a sound that made Evelyn relax. They were all safe, tucked in bed and asleep. As much as she once hated the idea, she’d turned far more into a mother than an Alpha. She’d always dreamed of running her own pack, but mothering them? It had just happened. The she wolf slipped on a bathrobe and made her way to the large shared bathroom. Since everyone was asleep, she figured she’d have it all to herself. The room was covered in white and black slate tiles. The tub was large, in the right hand corner of the room. It could easily fit three people. The female poured in some bubbles as she set the tub to fill with hot water. With a single shrug the robe fell to feet, exposing her slightly scarred skin.<br><br>After reading a few chapters of her most recently bought novel the female eased down into the tub, closing her eyes as the warm water began to relax her muscles. It wasn’t long before she fell asleep, her golden curls tied in a messy bun, her body leaning more to the left side of the bath. It wouldn’t be long before she slid down into the water, considering she couldn’t reach the end of the tub with her feet. It was needless to say that by the time she fell asleep a lot of the bubble mixture had begun to disappear, exposing her silk like flesh beneath the light blue tinted water.

				It seemed that Evelyn was one of those types of people who wore their feelings on their sleeves. No sooner had his little retort left his lips, than William was greeted with growl from the werewolf standing before him. William wasn't intimated though, he understood exactly where he was standing and it was mighty clear that the step he'd just taken was more than a direct challenge. His sunbright eyes were practically glowing now, the smirk on his lips never wavering as Evelyn proceeded to lay out her threats. Perfect. He had no interest in helping out helpless damsels who swooned into his arms. Evelyn was clearly above the usual ramble he dealt with, which should make his bodyguard work all the more easier. The little hint of gold that entered her gaze only served to widen his grin, nodding to her words "Don't you worry, I really only bite those who <em>ask</em> for it"<br><br>The conversation was cut there, with Evelyn leaving back towards the garden with William following close behind. The smirk remained upon his lips but fangs were now away as he exited out with Evelyn into the yard, eyeing up the rest of the pack. As Evelyn spoke her lovely words about him, William held back more snarky comments. Being a smartass to Evelyn in private was one thing, but sniping at her in front of the pack would most likely lead to his head on a stick. The comment about his fangs was a tempting one, low hanging fruit ripe for the picking, and it took a considerable force of will for William not to make a comment about how if any of the females happened to see his fangs, it would be in a moment where they were already screaming for him...<br><br>Glancing after Evelyn as she took a hasty exit, William smiled at the rest of the pack, one ear perking slightly to listen in on Eveyln's private call while pretending to enjoy the sights of the garden. She was a feisty one, the complete opposite of Michael. How had he managed such a lucky catch? Perhaps there was more to the Alpha wolf than William had assumed during their brief run ins with each other. Try as he might to be the professional he usually was, there was something about Evelyn that just struck a cord with William. It was more than just the easy target she made for herself with her angry reactions and growls...<br><br>William would love the chance to train with the wolves. He hadn't much of an opportunity with his professional work to really get up close and personal when a werewolf went full wolf but it did seem like he would have that chance if he continued the way he was going with Evelyn. No sooner had she dismissed the others than she turned on him, once again with the veiled threats. Truth be told, William did indeed sleep, but the night would be when he was most awake. Daytime was an issue with the whole sunlight thing, but so long as he didn't stand in direct sunlight for more than an hour or so, he'd be fine. Did Evelyn know that? He half suspected he'd go to bed only to wake up in the morning with her attempting to kill him with a dose of sunlight that would be little more than a mild annoyance. Best to keep it to himself for the moment, just in case.<br><br>The guest bedroom wasn't actually too bad. The bed was actually soft, plenty of closet space for his suitcase of clothes and a snug looking armchair in the corner next to a lamp for nighttime reading. Unpacking, William slipped himself into a pair of comfortable pajama pants and opened the little window he to let a breeze in to caress his pale muscled chest. Like the statue of a Roman god carved from marble, chiseled to perfection, William made his way to the armchair in the corner and fell back into it, closing his eyes and just listening to the house around him. He'd need to get used to it all, every little creak and groan. Otherwise he'd never be able to focus on listening for the <em>true</em> predators out there. <br><br>Suddenly opening his eyes, William looked over at the clock in the corner. Had he dozed off? Shaking his head of the dreary rest that hazed his mind, the vampire stood up and stretched his half naked body. The open window had created a cool little pocket of air inside his room, covering his muscular form in goosebumps. Not really hungry for blood, a warm cup of water should have the same effect and so William silently opened the door to his room, glancing up and down the hall as he did. The house was quiet now, with the faint sounds of snoring indicating that for the moment, William was the only one awake. Crossing the hall to the door William assumed was the bathroom, he opened it with gentle silence before quickly slipping inside. <br><br>Blinking his eyes at the sudden brightness, it only took the vampire a moment to realize why the light of the bathroom was on. There was Evelyn, in the bathtub, asleep. A slow deep breath, inhale and exhale...William should have left in that moment. It was not only the smart thing to do, it was the right thing to do. He wasn't listening to either of those thoughts as he slinked forward, moving with all the practiced silence and stealth of a true predator, reaching the edge of the tub in a few quick strides and leaning over to take a closer look.<br><br>Evelyn was helpless in this moment. No matter how quick she was, how great her reflexes, if William wished to take a bite from her now, he could. His eyes trailed down from her neck and into the depths of the water, taking everything in, feeling his heart pounding in his dead chest as other organs reacted in much more obviously. She was...<em>beautiful</em>. Evelyn hadn't looked unattractive when William had first met her, but here in this moment...it was an image forever burned into his memory.<br><br>Leaning in close, his lips drew closer and closer to her neck...mere millimeters away, hands gripping the edge of the tub tightly as a stray droplet of water suddenly fell down the gentle curve of her neck...and was caught by the darting tip of William's tongue. <br><br>He was out of the bathroom in that same moment, moving with supernatural speed and grace, he was back inside his guest room, staring up at the ceiling. Had he ever been so bold before? Reaching down past his knees, he pulled up the covers to hide his protruding arousal and closed his eyes, willing the endless dark void of sleep to carry him away into the night.

				As Evelyn lay in the tub, easing her tense muscles, all she could think about was the evening she’d had. This Vampire was beyond insane if he thought he would walk in and simply watch over them like a hawk. It was as if they were inviting a predator into their home to watch and observe them, it was plain foolish. A muffled sigh escaped her, the last thing she needed was another fight with Michael. No doubt, this wasn’t the last of it. Evelyn wasn’t a woman to back down, especially not when it came to her pack; Michael knew that all too well, yet he still put her in some difficult situations, for reasons she couldn’t understand, or refused to.<br><br>Thankfully, sleep had taken her swiftly. Evelyn was usually a heavy sleeper, no snoring, no noises. She simply lay like the dead, which wasn’t useful with a Vampire in the house. Suddenly, she woke with a jump. Her gaze immediately scanned the bathroom, nothing was out of place, but the time was clearly soaring by. With a soft huff, she slowly rose from the water, tugging out the plug before drying herself off. There was a strange feeling that didn’t sit well with her. Most likely the fact that a vampire was sleeping under their roof. The alpha soon unleashed her long curls before making her way out of the bathroom to check on each of the bedrooms. Everyone was sleeping soundly. Then she reached the guest room, her fingers gently pressed upon the door, causing it to creak lightly as it opened. Once she was satisfied her <em>guest</em> was asleep, Evelyn made her way to bed. <br><br>The next morning, Evelyn rose with the sunrise. It was something she’d become used to. So, she began to carry out her morning routine. The blonde dressed in her usual outfit of well fitted navy wash jeans with a tight, pink v-neck that allowed the hint of her black lace garment to brush through the top of her shirt. The ample mounds rose as she adjusted her shirt, soon enough slipping on a flannel shirt and left it only buttoned just below her breasts, enough to keep it over her body. Once she’d slipped on a pair of knee length, brown leather boots over her jeans and up toward her knee, she decided it was time to get breakfast going.<br><br><br>As the werewolf descended the stairs she swept her golden curls up into a ponytail, causing the glistening curls to bounce and flow with her movements as they cascaded down her back. The only one who’d ever really paid attention to her looks was Michael. It was a strange story how they’d ended up together. Michael seemed to appreciate the finer things, the way she always seemed to purr when she woke, the way her eyes glistened when she was about to set off for a run. He noticed every bit of her that was genuinely her. Other males of her kind were simply interested in breeding, creating a strong pack and somehow fitting into the human world. Packs had never faded, even though their existence was being threatened. It just couldn’t be abused as it clearly had been.<br><br>Evelyn served several plates filled with pancakes, ham, bacon, and various other cooked meats. Most of their diet was protein, sometimes she’d attempt to slip in some minerals but it was usually met with upturned noses, so to speak. Thankfully, she didn’t have to call them that morning, it would seem they were keen to get out into the forest, not that Evelyn could blame them. It had been some time since they’d all had a <em>real</em> run. “Would someone go get Dracula, we leave in five,” Evelyn called out as she began to pack a large black rucksack with several bottles of water and various pieces of fruit. Sometimes, one of them would overdo the run and need immediate sugar with some water, it worked a charm.<br><br>One of the younger she wolves made her way up the stairs. The young woman was roughly nineteen, she dressed in a far more feminine manner than her female alpha. The brunette was wearing a light pink sundress, sunglasses perched on top of her sleek dark strands. By the time she reached the spare room, her heart was racing a little. A vampire in their home, it was so strange. The female knocked lightly on the door, “We’re leaving soon!” She called before hurrying down the stairs to join the others that were currently sorting out who would drive in which car. “I’ll take the lead, Jen, you drive Dracula and the others.” The nineteen year old paused, before giving a nod as they all began to set off. <br><br>During the ride, Jen turned to glance at William for a moment. “She isn’t usually so abrupt…” Her gaze switched to the road before her as she continued. “For some reason she’s been on edge, even before you got here. Michael even raised his voice.” It was almost like she needed to speak to anyone about the state of her surrogate parents. “I guess it’s stressful looking after us lot.” A soft chuckle left her lips before they finally settled into silence.<br><br>It took roughly an hour to get far enough out of the city to speed up, from there, it was a forty minute drive into the country. Thankfully, their usual place seemed empty as the cars rolled up onto the gravel which lead toward the walking path and overgrown forest. It was heading for late morning, and Evelyn wanted to make sure they had a day’s worth of running, not just for their moods but to keep them trained. They needed to remember they were not human and they shouldn’t relax into roles as such so easy. “I don’t want to see you lot back here before dusk,” The female called as they hopped from the car. “We walk down to the forest then we shift, as usual.” The path was gritty and welcoming, the fresh scent of the forest air was enough to make Evelyn wish to shift that very second.<br><br>Once they’d reached the coverage of the trees, the pack began to undress and begin their changes. Sounds of bones cracking filled the air as their forms began to change. Evelyn remained clothed as she watched the pack begin to dart off into the forest, one by one. Once she was satisfied she turned to the vampire, “It’s one thing to watch us at home. Good luck keeping up with us on our land.” A glint in her eye hinted at the challenge. Oh, she knew vampires were fast, but so was she. The blonde swiftly unbuttoned her shirt as she kicked off her boots. Swiftly, she cast the outer shirt aside before tracing her fingers around the tank top and quickly pulled it off of her body. Soft, supple skin began to reveal as she removed her clothing. A gentle wiggle of her hips helped remove the tight fitting jeans, revealing her curved, toned rear and legs. <br><br>Evelyn had always been blessed with curves, ample mounds and a rather defined rear. However, she hadn’t been blessed with completely perfect skin. Several large scars ranged over her back, which could be seen easily as she bent down, summoning her change. In moments her bones began to snap and reform, causing gentle grunts to escape her reshaping maw. Just as quickly as it had begun, it was over. The large she wolf rose on her paws, those familiar luminescent blue hues scanned up toward William before she tore off into the forest. The breeze was welcomed, flowing through her white fur. She was going to do her level best to show him just how powerful she could be.<br>

				William had been up for awhile before being officially summoned. Dressed in a pair of comfortable slacks and well fitted polo shirt, William had been up well before the dawn with his nose deep inside one of the many vampire texts he'd brought along for reading material. Sleep hadn't come to him at all, the source of his restlessness still terribly vivid inside his mind even as he sought distractions within the ancient tomes of his people. Historic battles with ancient foes, sudden betrayals and the rise of vampiric power in human society wasn't enough to scrape away the moment where William had leaned over Evelyn, close enough to do whatever he'd wanted to the sleeping werewolf...so what was it that he had wanted to do?<br><br>A frustrated growl escaped the vampire's throat as he glared at the doorway out of the guest bedroom. Damn Michael. He should be strangling ghouls in South America right now. A mosquito infested jungle would have been less of a distraction than the Alpha's wife! Speaking of which, William's ears perked as the sounds of the house came alive with breakfast and morning routines. Finding himself a bloodbag from his suitcase, William sipped his meal casually, assuming that none of the werewolves downstairs would offer themselves up as his meal. And what a shame that was, as a few of the younger ones looked as though they would provide just the energy boost William required to start the day.<br><br>Listening to Evelyn's joke from downstairs, William set his book aside and patiently waited for whomever volunteered to make it up the stairs. No point in cluing them in on just how sensitive his hearing was, seeing it was such a useful tool for listening in on the mealtime conversations and private moments. Hearing the knocks on his door, William stood up and grabbed himself a pair of sunglasses, opening the door and making his way causally down the stairs with a charming little smile upon his pale lips "I call shotgun!"<br><br>As they drove, William with his window up to block out the annoying UV rays, he looked over at the female who was currently driving. Jen was her name, if William had heard correctly "Oh, I wouldn't worry about these things. I'm not sure how things work among wolves, but among Vampires, conflict is good. Keeps us strong, differing opinions always a good thing to keep us all thinking. Michael and Evelyn both seem like very strong people, for different reasons"<br><br>After the brief conversation, William enjoyed a short rest. Drives through the country had never been that interesting, being a guy who was more about the destination that the journey. Jen was a competent enough driver that William wasn't worried about waking up upside down if he closed his eyes for a little while. His red eyes snapped open as soon as they came to a halt and William was the first one out to stretch his limbs as the vehicles came to a halt. Seeing Evelyn was already out and leading the way, William took his position near the rear of the group, looking out amongst the forest. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a forest far from people that the wolves clearly enjoyed using to run about in. <br><br>When Evelyn finally approached William, the vampire greeted his host with a wide smile "And good morning to you too, Evelyn. I must say, you're looking very pretty for so early in the morning"<br><br>Taking a step back as the changes occurred, William waited for Evelyn to finish while not denying himself another chance to look her up and down, smirking as he saw the unspoken challenge. So that's how it was going to be...despite not being dressed for a run at all, William wasn't about to let Evelyn just show him up like that, taking off after her, using the trees and shadows to his advantage as he weaved through the forest. Her scent filled the air, making it easy for William to keep track of her movements and catch up to her, making it obvious he was just keeping stride with her, his flashing red eyes gleaming at her amongst the trees. Predator and predator. Where they were racing to and what they were racing for would only be determined by the winner...<br><br><em>Blood.</em><br><br>The fresh scent of it hit William hard in his senses, head snapping towards the wonderfully addicting scent. Turning back to Evelyn as they raced, William motioned for her, assuming that in her wolf form she'd smelled it as well before darting off into the forest in pursuit. It wasn't far, the scent leading William to an open clearing, to a sight that made him pause. One of the pack was down, a large gash in their arm and leg, collapsed on the ground while a bigger wolf loomed over them. This one was clearly not of the pack, bright gold lines of what looked like paint streaking through the attacking wolf's black fur. With a roar, it made to pounce upon the wounded pack member, but William cut them off, catching the leaping wolf in midair, fangs out and sinking through the fur and tough flesh into the beast's neck. A rage filled howl of pain filled the clearing, as the larger wolf grabbed at William, ripping him off and tossing him against the nearest tree, taking a chunk of bloodied flesh with him. <br><br>Spitting out the bits of fur, William slowly took to his feet. His slacks and shirt were all ripped and dirtied now, a gash along his chest looking like it was going to leave an ugly scar. Close quarters combat like this wasn't exactly his specialty, but that wasn't about to stop him now. The bigger, gold painted wolf seemed immune to the blood seeping from the open wound in it's neck as it rose onto it's hind legs and charged William once more as the vampire waited patiently for the gap to close between them, before meeting the wolf with his own strike, striking out with a swift gut punch and spin kick that did little to slow the oncoming attack, William once again being slammed into the tree and pinned. Smirking fearlessly up at the much larger attack, William turned shifted into his shadowy mist form, finding his way to the confused attackers back and latching on, fangs sinking into the other side of the werewolves neck.

				It delighted Evelyn as she heard familiar, fast paced footfalls echo around her, they belonged to a vampire. There was something about a challenge that Evelyn enjoyed thoroughly. It may be down to the fact that her upbringing was rather harsh, she grew to understand that if someone didn’t fight for anything, they would soon be trodden down. Evelyn had several brothers, no sisters. It was clear from the get go that her experience of pack life had certainly set her in good footing to handle her own pack. As the paws and footfalls echoed around her like a soft symphony, she realised how quick this vampire truly was. He seemed to be able to maintain eye contact for some time, despite the ever changing scenery. It was as she prepared to launch toward them that a scent caught her nose. Coppery, metallic, heavy fumes wafted toward her snout. Blood.<br><br>The she wolf didn’t hesitate to tear off in the direction of the scent. Her heart pounded as her concern rose for her pack. The scent was heavy and full, indicating that it was more than a simple scratch or small cut. Fury rose up within her as she began to make out two figures, her claws ripping through the forest floor and casting dirt behind her as she forced her body to race to the scene. Thankfully, William intervened before she could. The markings were unknown to her, but the scent of the wolf had familiar undertones. The pack. She knew this pack, and she knew them well. Pack scents were… underlying tones of one's usual scent, it was sometimes hard to pinpoint but Evelyn knew the scent.<br><br>Swiftly, pack members rushed from the forest to tend to the wounded, Jason. Knowing that he was in good hands, Evelyn began to watch the exchange between William and the large beast. She noted how the beast hurled him like a rag toy. Part of her was amused, but the dominant part was furious that they’d ever crossed onto this side of town. How dare they attack one of her own! Once she was satisfied William wouldn’t be caught in the crossfire, Evelyn tore toward the scene. Her fur glistened in the sunlight, sparkling almost as she headed straight for the pair. Without hesitation she slammed her body straight into that of the attacking wolf, causing it to collapse onto its side. The she wolf swiftly loomed over the mutt, there was no mercy left in her gaze. Evelyn’s paw raised, claws flexing out as she gave a firm slash to the creature’s soft flesh beneath it’s stomach. Soon enough, intestines spilled out, blood and organs oozed from the open gash as the beast howled in pain.<br><br>Evelyn began to shift as she strode back to Jason, she had no concern for the attacker. “Bring me his head,” she yelled back toward William as she dropped to her knees at Jason’s side, taking a look at the wounds now that he’d shifted back. “Bandage him up and take him home. All of you, bolt the doors, make sure you remain inside.” The pack began to move, helping Jason stand before escorting him through the forest. Evelyn marched through the forest to grab her clothing, pulling it on with haste. “Me and you are going to see an old friend of mine.” She muttered to William. The she wolf couldn’t overcome the rage that swelled within her. The audacity of his pack, oh she was going to tear him a new one.<br><br>Once they’d piled up in the car, it was clear Evelyn was still reeling. Her fingers dug into the leather of the steering wheel, causing the fabric to groan under the friction. “That son of a bitch. If he thinks his savage pack can touch mine, he has another thing coming.” She snapped coldly, her gaze was luminescent as she stared toward the road. The journey took an hour or so, into the next town. Soon enough, Evelyn pulled up at a rather large old tudor manor. The female grabbed the head that she’d been determined to take with, and slipped out of the car. “Wait here, this is werewolf business.” She commanded to William before making her way toward the porch. She wasn’t sure if he’d listen, but if he wanted to see her good side, maybe he’d take her advice.<br><br>The female didn’t get to knock as the door flew open the moment she approached the porch, blood now dripping over the faded wood. Her fingers were intertwined in the air, without a second thought she cast it into the hallway, watching it roll with mild amusement. “The last time one of your pack attacked mine was… Hmm, well, it was you.” Her gaze locked onto a male standing at six foot, fairly built but rather dishevelled looking. “Last time I checked, Evelyn, you enjoyed it.” It was clear from his tone that he couldn’t care less about his pack. “So, why are they coming after my kids? You know what happened the last time, now I’m losing my temper.” Evan allowed a devious smirk to grace his chapped lips, “Is that… Vampire I smell on you? While Michael’s away the whore will play? You know, doll, you still owe me a ride or two.”

				William was all too familiar with the rage he could feel emanating off of Evelyn. This attack was more than just a physical one, it was a direct challenge to everything that held the pack together. Despite only having lived among them for less than a day, William could already tell that this pack he lived with would never have used such a cowardly means of attacking. Evelyn and Michael were the types of Alpha's that would approach a problem head on, leaving sneaky assassinations like the one that was just attempted to those lesser than themselves. Luckily for them, William was among those lesser beings that had no qualms with using underhanded tactics to gain an advantage. <br><br>And so he sat in silence during the car ride, listening to Evelyn as her anger continued to simmer. His own wounds had already healed, though his fine clothes were now ripped and torn. Not exactly the look William preferred, but stripping down into something else while Evelyn was in this mood would probably result in the pair of them pulling over and her giving him a healthy slap across the face. The focus and concentration on her face seemed to indicate that she might not even notice if he did do something, but the vampire wasn't one to take that chance, despite what the events of the previous night might have hinted. Drumming his fingers against his torn slacks, William watched the world pass by outside the window, wondering why he was even being brought along. <br><br>An old manor appeared to be their destination, the kind of place that might have served in a spooky episode of daytime television. As they pulled in through the town, Evelyn made it clear that William was to stay clear and that this was werewolf business. A smirk on his lips was the only answer Evelyn was going to receive as William waited until she was inside before exiting the car. He didn't slam the door shut, just in case Evelyn or whoever she was meeting would hear, making his way around the side of the house until he came to the back porch. A pair of thuggish looking wolves where lounging in the back, no doubt a part of the pack that had attacked earlier. Leaping up onto the wooden railing, a few quick strikes against the pair of surprised thugs had them knocked out and on the ground. They'd be mighty sore when they woke up, but at least they'd be alive.<br><br>Testing out the backdoor, William slowly entered, the sound of Evelyn's voice and another's echoing through the silent manor. Creeping down the hall, William felt every muscle wound as tight as a spring, ready to strike out if any more guards showed themselves. Outside of Evelyn and another male, the place was eerily silent. Whoever this other male was, he'd clearly been expecting Evelyn to show. Ambush? Planned kidnapping? Something more devious? William wasn't about to wait to find out. <br><br>There was no dramatic announcement for William, no witty remark or warning before he struck. One moment he wasn't there, the next he was standing behind the other male, his fangs coming down upon the man's neck and tearing out the jugular. A spray of blood gushed from the man's throat as he collapsed wordlessly as William stood over him, an open bloody grin upon his face as he slowly looked to Evelyn "I understand that you werewolves do things allot differently than us vampires, in a cultural sense, but I think you'll agree with me that this man was not going to see reason with whatever you had to say, especially since his pair of thugs out back were probably going to try and take you away or outright kill you"<br><br>Licking the blood off his lips in a slow, deliberate manner, William continued to grin as he walked towards Evelyn "Besides, now with his remaining pack can't claim vengeance against yours, what with him being killed by a vampire. I would almost like to say that you planned this all out, bringing me out here, telling me to stay in the car...but you aren't so devious, are you Evelyn?" His tone was coy, teasing, crimson eyes vibrant in the setting sun peaking through the windows of the manor as William stood just in front of Evelyn, his clothes in tatters, allowing hints of well muscled pale flesh to peak out between the torn fabric. Blood now stained his clothes and skin with crimson streaks as William chucked aloud "Now, if you don't mind, we should probably be heading back. Unless there is something more you wish to take care of? I would prefer to find myself properly clothed"

				Evelyn hadn’t even noticed the approach of William, she was far too focused on the task at hand. Prevent Evan from ever coming after one of her pack again. He seemed as uncaring and uncooperative as always. A muffled sigh escaped her as she contemplated her options. There were several that immediately came to mind, none of which Michael would approve of and no doubt would cause several long arguments when he returned. Thankfully, the situation was taken from her hands. A hiss of disdain left Evelyn’s lips as she watched William appear behind the Alpha, ripping into him without hesitation. It was needless to say she wasn’t amused, especially with the way he grinned, blood trickling down from his lips. It coaxed a whole different response.<br><br>“Regardless of him agreeing or not, at least that would’ve given me a reason to kill him. All I know is that Michael won’t be amused with you. I’ve tried several times to argue the case of killing Evan. That’s now your problem.” Secretly, she was seething. Mainly due to the fact that William had arrived a day ago and already has acted on a desire of her own. Oh, it was clear she was envious. “What do you think I brought you for? In case there were more. I can handle two, fine.” Her words were somewhat disconnected from her vision as she swept her gaze over his torn clothes from the scrape with the creature shortly before. As he began to make his way toward her, the she wolf simply snorted. She was all too distracted with the way he licked the crimson liquid from his lip.<br><br>The female spun on her heel as he sought to inquire about going home. “I shall have you know I can take care of myself, and these issues,” The female didn’t say another word as she hopped into the truck and waited for him to join her before she pulled off swiftly. There was no question in her mind that there were several packs who may lash out in return to the violence, but as William had said, it was clear a Vampire had taken them out. The she wolf chewed on her lower lip as she pulled in back at home, it was only a few hours after lunch time. No doubt the pack was going to be somewhat unruly for the remaining day. All she really, truly cared about was Jason healing enough to be able to defend himself, should he need to.<br><br>Soon enough she left the car and made her way into the home, leaving the door open for William. The she wolf made her way through the house until she found Jason on the living room couch. It wasn’t long before she stepped closer and knelt, beginning to check how the wound was looking, it seemed that Jason was healing more than enough to keep himself safe. A muffled sigh escaped her lips before she rose and began to grip the blanket around his bandaged leg and slowly cover him. “Comfy?” The female swiftly brought another pillow and commanded him up for a moment as she settled it beneath his head. “Sleep, yell if you need anything. You need to rest that leg as much as possible, okay?” Her fingertips traced through his hair softly before she took her leave. Evelyn saw them as her family, and it showed.<br><br>The Alpha made her way into the kitchen, soon enough rummaging in the cupboards to withdraw a bottle of red wine. With a loud ‘pop’ she tugged out the cork with the help of a talon before pouring a good deal into a large, rounded glass. “William, red or white?” She called out. It was her peace offering, for now. “Despite you taking the kill I’d been hungry for, thank you. At least they’ll be gunning for vampires, should more come. And of course for dealing with Michael when he returns. Then again, we can always say he threatened me. I’m not even sure Michael would approve of death in that case but oh well.” A faded smile hinted at trouble in her marriage, but she didn’t allow the look to linger as she began to pace toward the garden. The blonde eased against the doorframe as she gazed over the land. “You owe me for that kill, by the way.” It was clear her tone wasn’t amused, it was more menacing. Nevertheless, she made the effort. <br><br>Soon enough one of the younger pack bounded in, her gaze focused on William. Jen was all too cheerful. “Jen, you babysit the Vampire, I’m going to take a bath.” She murmured as she grabbed the bottle of wine and made her way upstairs. The young she wolf chuckled softly, her lips curved up in a smile as she glanced up to William. “Well, she’s going to be out for the night soon enough. Did Michael really ask you here? How did you meet? You guys don’t really seem the type to be friends.” Sounds of the running water could easily be heard by enhanced hearing, a soft feminine groan echoed as the water swirled around a stressed body. Oh how she’d hungered for that kill, next time, she’d have to be faster.

				Undeterred by Evelyn's disapproval, William smirked as he kept the distance between them close "Yes, it is my problem. That's why I was brought in, to take the burden of problems off of you and your pack and place them squarely on my shoulders...and let me tell you, they are strong shoulders" It was clear there was more to Evelyn's anger than just a simple overstepping of boundaries. She'd wanted a taste of Evan's blood for herself. Unlike her diplomatic husband, Evelyn was clearly much more prone to aggressively taking out threats instead of talking them away. A position that William approved. It was the nature of his job with the Vampire Lords, to eliminate any perceived threats to the Vampires by whatever means necessary. <br><br>The return trip was silent and tense, with William mostly drifting in and out of sleep. He wasn't tired, but sitting next to a clearly pissed Alpha female wasn't exactly his idea of a fun road trip. At least Evelyn was kind enough not to play any music that was overtly annoying or loud. Arriving back at the house, William made his way up to his room to find new clothes. Walking around in a torn suit was just so tacky. Tossing the remnants of his ruined clothes into the trash and anticipating a calmer evening, William slipped into a tight fitting muscle shirt and a pair of casual track pants. Technically these were his gym clothes, the muscle shirt easily displaying his corded biceps and the subtle outline of a strong, well sculpted chest and core. <br><br>Making his way back down to the pack the vampire was surprised at Evelyn's offer as he entered the kitchen, making his way to the dining area with his usual smirk upon his lips "While I hate to play into the cliché, I would happily take a red from you, Evelyn. And do not worry about Michael in this case, I'm sure I'll be able to convince him that what I did was right for the pack. Who wouldn't understand coming to the defense of the beautiful pack alpha?" Swishing the red wine about in his glass, William's sunfire eyes made it quite clear where exactly his gaze was focused as he watched Evelyn, memories of the night before drifting through his mind "As for owing you a kill...I suppose you'll just have to be <em>quicker</em> next time"<br><br>As Evelyn made her exit upstairs, William turned his attention to the younger werewolf, taking a sip of wine as the questions began to flow "Why of course he did. Michael knows he can trust me, as far as Vampires go. And I wouldn't say we are friends...just a pair of opposing forces who happened to find themselves in a position where killing each other meant we would both perish, while working together meant we'd both live. That kind of bond means something, forges something, even if it happens between a werewolf and a vampire" William chuckled at his own words, flashing Jen a fanged smile for a moment, his ears taking in the running water and groan coming from upstairs. Dare he?<br><br>Setting his glass of wine down, he offered Jen another smile "Pardon me, I just need to get a snack from my room"<br><br>Making his way up the stairs, William knocked upon the bathroom door, feigning ignorance "Evelyn? Mind if I quickly grab some floss from the medicine cabinet? I feel as though I still have a few pieces of that disgusting wolf between my teeth, and I would prefer to keep my fangs clean...I would get some from the other bathrooms, but your pack mates seem to be taking their time..."

				Evelyn rested in the bath, nursing the bottle of wine rather swiftly as she contemplated William’s position in all of this. What had Michael been thinking? William was nothing like the friends of her husband, he was ruthless, and clearly far more aggressive than he. Much to Evelyn’s disdain, it was an aspect she had desired to see in her husband. Of course she knew it was best to be like Michael, level headed and wise. Yet, the she wolf just couldn’t cage that side of her, not for long. Even in bed her husband was just as he was usually, vanilla. Controlled. Evelyn had once suspected that it was something she should aim for, that she and Michael were a great match for his influence on her, she no longer thought that way. Instead, she felt somewhat frustrated. Restrained, even. As if she could no longer be who she truly was.<br><br>The female stirred in the water when she heard footfalls coming toward the door. The moment she heard his voice she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Fine, go for it.” She muttered, she didn’t care too much considering many of the bubbles were covering her form. Not that she truly cared about being naked. Most werewolves didn’t, hell, she’d shifted in front of him earlier. Evelyn was down to her shoulders in the hot water, her feet peaked out toward the end, hints of her legs could be seen from the breaks in the mountain range of bubbles. “You know what I don’t get, how Michael and you would even bump into one another and even more so, how you’d two even become… Well, how he’d trust you with us is beyond me.” Oh she hadn’t forgotten his comment referring to her as beautiful, but it wasn’t something she was going to bring up blatantly.<br><br>It was clear the wine was going down a treat as she finished a good deal of the bottle. Werewolves could handle alcohol rather well, more so than humans, but it was clear some was affecting her. “You know, you’re a real bastard. I’ve had Evan on my hit list for years. I just needed an excuse to pass by Michael, and then you kill him without even giving me a chance. Excuse me for wanting to enjoy the moment I’ve been planning for years. There’s no point being fast, not if you want to enjoy it.” Her gaze resonated on his form for a moment before she began to move, her elbows resting on the side of the tub. Her ample swells brushed up against the bubbles as the female leaned forward. “If we were in a fight, you’d see exactly how speed can fuck you over. Sheer power is more than a match for speed.” It was clear what she craved; power, strength.<br><br>Without much thought, she finished off the bottle of wine before placing it beside the bath and easing back into the bubble filled warmth. “Fucking Vampires,” She uttered before hurling a clump of bubbles and droplets of water toward him. “My husband is just as bad as you. Thinking I need protection. Bullshit. He just wanted a babysitter to stop me doing anything reckless. Of course, he had to bring someone who would do it before I would.” A huff escaped her lush lips as she sank down into the water, causing some of her hair that was currently tied back to become wet. “My husband may be easy to sway, William, but I’m nowhere near as naive.” Her gaze pierced toward him before she turned her attention back toward the fading bubbles.

				William had barely entered the bathroom before Evelyn began speaking, a smirk upon his lips as the vampire made his way across the cool tiled floor to the bathroom cabinet across from the doorway. Daring a glance in her direction as he opened up the cabinet to search for the floss, the vampire allowed a chuckle to fall from his lips "It's because Michael knows I'm a man of my word. You know exactly what the divide between our species is like and what it means to have someone like Michael send someone like me...even if you don't understand, you should be able to at least respect the wishes of your husband. He's Alpha for a reason, isn't he? Or are werewolves simply that complacent when it comes to selecting leadership?"<br><br>Finding some mint floss, William wound the piece carefully around his lithe fingers and began to floss his fangs, continuing to listen to Evelyn's alcohol fueled speech. It wasn't as though William couldn't relate to her concerns, having dealt with red tape plenty of times before his position as a direct assassin for the Vampire Lords. Werewolves seemed like the last species that would allow themselves to be tied down to rules of any sort, but it sounded as though Michael was doing his best to balance out the needs of his pack while at the same time assimilating into human society. Choices that his mate clearly did not share "Please, when it comes to a kill, all you have is that moment. Striking before your enemy can react, no need for dramatic moments...if you'd wanted to kill Evan that badly, you could have easily done so in the time it took me to make my way around the house"<br><br>A laugh echoed through the bathroom at her comment about 'Fucking Vampires', crumpling up the floss in his hand and tossing it into the nearby garbage "We are a pretty terrible race, aren't we? And here I always assumed werewolves were brutes with a simple Alpha system that no one every questioned, and here you are making it sound like Michael is some Machiavellian plotter. The man is surely more complicated than your average Alpha, but I wouldn't go that far"<br><br>Turning back around, William made as if he was going to pass by and make his way out the door, before dropping down to his knees at the tub and eyeing Evelyn with a wide vampiric smile "That said, if I don't know you two as husband and wife, I would apply your words about wanting to enjoy the moment, not being fast and taking power over speed as a talk about sex. Evan certainly seemed to think he was more than a match for you in that regard, but I'm sure that was nothing more than some alpha bullshit" His crimson eyes were shining with mischief as he stared at Evelyn before slowly rising, allowing her a view of his topless form and perfectly chiseled abs and pectorals rippling like a well oiled machine. Standing over her for a moment, his sweat pants hanging dangerously low around his hips, the vampire turned to leave "Enjoy your bath. Sounds like you could use some relaxation for all that tension"

				“Michael thinks you’re a man of your word. How well does he even know you?” She immediately challenged back, a slight snarl emerged from within her as he suggested her kind were complacent. “Just because someone is an alpha doesn’t mean that they can’t be challenged. We aren’t savages with a dictatorship.” Her brow rose as she watched him use the floss he’d found. It was an amusing site, Evelyn would never suspect a Vampire would need to floss. Then again, she did. So why not a Vampire? If anything, they seemed to use their teeth more than most. <br><br>“As if,” She muttered in retort to his comment about killing. “I wanted to make him suffer. I wanted his death to last a day, or several if I had the time. Killing him in seconds like you did was giving him a mercy he didn’t deserve.” Her tone was cold, somewhat disconnected. “Not all of us kill like cowards, some of us enjoy seeing the pain ripple over their faces.” There was a menacing tone to her voice, far more deadly than it had sounded before. “Personally, I like to make them suffer until I’m satisfied.” Evelyn swayed her legs slightly, causing the water to sway gently around her, the heat from the bath began to simmer on the top of the water as she eased a little deeper into the consuming warmth.<br><br>The she wolf glanced toward the Vampire with a hint of disdain as she heard a familiar sound; he was laughing at her. “Well, you’d be wrong. So far, it seems all my assumptions about Vampires have turned out correct.” Her gaze remained on him as he began to stride toward the door. When he dropped down to his knees rather suddenly, the she wolf almost froze, her body remaining still as she cocked her brow toward him. What was he doing? The way his lips tugged into a full smile caused a sense of unease within her. What was he so chipper about? Evelyn had the thought to smack that smile right off of his face.<br><br>His words sent shudders of rage from within her. Not from the vulgar side of his words, but the fact that his observations weren’t wrong. Of course, she hadn’t been talking about sex, but it was needless to say she was unsatisfied and rather frustrated. “Evan couldn’t pleasure a woman even if he knew where the G-spot was.” She muttered softly, her gaze never leaving William’s. “So, you’re parading around half naked and daring to comment that I’m tense? It looks like you’re already on the hunt for something, that isn’t blood.” Despite her rage, the female couldn’t help but admire the way his body moved as he stood. The way his sweat pants clung around his perfectly carved physique. He looked like a model, incredibly attractive and clearly in amazing shape. Evelyn allowed a hiss to escape her as she watched him leave. <br><br>“I bet you couldn’t pleasure a woman either, it’s always the cocky ones that have an over inflated ego.” She murmured, knowing he’d hear her words considering his honed hearing. Instead of getting herself further frustrated, the woman slipped one hand down below the surface of the water. Soft, gentle moans escaped her pursed lips as her head tilted back against the curve of the porcelain tub, her body began to thrive under her touch. If he thought he was going to make her further frustrated, he was wrong. Two could play at that game. She was going to make him regret saying what he had. Soft, tender ripples of water began to cause light splashing sounds as the clear water collided into the sides of the bath from the movement of her hand. The soft, tender moans continued as she felt the pleasure begin to build.

				Pausing just outside the door, William smirked at the sounds echoing from inside the bathroom. Not even his supernatural hearing was needed to listen in on what was going on between Evelyn and herself, and the vampire made sure he would tuck this little bit of information away for the next time he wanted to get under Evelyn's skin. And from the sounds going on behind the bathroom door, Evelyn needed someone to get under her skin...Michael had better hurry home or his wife might end up exploding from all the pent up tension. <br><br>Returning back down the stairs to where Jen was waiting, William returned to his charming self, making the younger werewolf giggle and laugh before the bottle of wine they'd been sharing had run dry and William returned to his guest room, laying on his back and staring up at the ceiling. So far, his time with the pack had been more entertaining than the vampire could have hoped. Already, he had the taste of werewolf blood on his lips, a fresh, strong kill even if the alpha had been a moron, his blood hinted at the fight that William would have been in for if he'd attempted the sort of 'fair' fight that Evelyn was so intent on. Werewolves...such a silly sense of honor. Though it was refreshing to know that if Evelyn ever wanted to kill William, it would most likely be a head on attack and not something backstabby. <br><br>Not that the vampire would particularly mind Evelyn attempting something on him.<br><br>The thought had the vampire smirking as he lay in bed. Who would win if they really went at it? No...he shouldn't lie to himself. That wasn't why he'd brought Evelyn into his thoughts. As Evelyn herself had pointed out, William was hunting for more than just blood at this point. In fact, the vampire was fairly certain that sort of physical release could easily be attained through Jen. She was quite clearly charmed by him, much more so than Evelyn was, and she came with none of the complications that Evelyn had, namely being married. Unfortunately for William, he'd never been one to go for the easy option. He'd always hunted for what he wanted, regardless of the consequences that doing so would bring with it.<br><br>Lulling himself to sleep with such thoughts, it made for an uneasy sleep. Rough, passionate sex didn't exactly make for a relaxing rest and William found his eyes once more open in the early morning. Growling in annoyance at the lack of rest and the now throbbing erection pressing against his pajama pants, the vampire sat up and kicked off his pants, his senses telling him that for the moment he was the only one awake in the house. Crossing the hall to the bathroom, William shut the door behind him, not bothering with a lock before stepping into the shower and letting the cool water caress down his naked form. Leaning back against the cool refreshing stream, William shut his eyes as the water kissed his rigid muscles, crawling down across his broad shoulders and pecs before flowing down across his abs, past his semi hard cock and down across his calves and legs.

				It wasn’t long before Evelyn found her release, her body shuddering with pleasure, causing the water to dance somewhat against the porcelain skin of the bath. The blonde remained in the water for a moment, feeling unamused with the situation, and herself. What was she doing? Well, he was driving her crazy. Her current mood only soured as she heard laughing emerge from the floor below. Jen. Fury ran through her; Jen was innocent, sweet, caring. How dare he even think to charm her. The girl deserved better, Jen was someone worthy of becoming an Alpha, one day. The thought of such a sweet werewolf being roped into William’s dark web was something she didn’t wish to be bothered by, currently. With one final huff, the she wolf rose from the water and slipped out of the bath. By the time she was out and dry, the pair seemed to have gone to bed. Good.<br><br>The female began to settle herself down in bed, her thoughts soon began to drift toward a man she’d rather not be thinking of. It wasn’t William. She and Michael were most certainly going through yet another rough patch. It felt as if their marriage had two sides, one they showed to the pack and the other that came to light once the others were asleep. Although the pair were married and tried to present a united front, it often became clear that there were many disagreements between them. Michael was far more calm than Evelyn, and it showed. Evelyn wasn’t someone to stand by threats; she was someone to go and take action. Michael preferred to calmly discuss the situation and come to a conclusion. It was needless to say some of her husband’s choices infuriated her; almost to the point of her taking the situation into her own hands.<br><br>Soon enough, Evelyn tucked herself into bed, curling up in the sheets and allowing sleep to take her. Despite being rather tired and drained, the female found herself becoming restless. Every few minutes she’d toss and turn, gripping the blanket into balled fists before easing back into a light sleep. A few hours later, Evelyn was restless enough to wake up. A soft, defiant groan left her lips. Not only did she not feel refreshed but it was clearly far too early to be up yet. Considering she was still so tense, maybe a run would help. It was maybe a little hasty, but she could use the relief, considering her orgasm didn’t do much for her frustration. When she or her pack didn’t get to run as much as they should, it was common that the frustration would build up. Of course, currently it was more than she was used to, since there was a Vampire living under their roof. Not to mention he was cocky, all too smug and working on her last nerve.<br><br>With a soft huff she rose from the sheets, immediately making her way toward the cupboard. With haste, she tugged on a pair of black lycra pants, that cut off just below her knee. The material hugged along her curves, displaying her slender, yet welcoming figure. Then, she tugged on a sports bra along with a pink neon top that dangled down toward her rounded rear. Next, she began to make her way toward the bathroom, after all, there was no doubt she looked a mess. It was when she neared the bathroom that she finally focused on the sound of running water ebbing from within. Someone was awake. The pack always slept through, so that left one person. A smug smile pulled at the corners of her lips as she burst through the door, glancing toward the shower to spot exactly who she assumed was inside. William.<br><br>“Next time you should lock the door, the pack could be scarred for life.” She couldn’t allow the rather cocky tone to rise up as she made her way to the sink. There was no denying his body was well… remarkable. Evelyn hadn’t come into contact with many vampires, but his form in any race was attractive. The woman mentally scolded herself for even looking; she was married. It may not be a good marriage, but it was still a commitment. “I’m going out, you’re going to look after the pack while I’m gone.” She announced as she gripped hold of the brush by the sink and began to tame the golden curls that seemed to be all over the place. Soon enough, she pulled them back into a tight, high bun before glancing back toward the shower. Her gaze lingered slightly. “Unless you want to come for a run.” Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be a full, proper run. She’d have to be a human for tonight, but maybe that wasn’t so bad. The town would be quiet, no doubt she could find a peaceful park to run in.<br><br>Despite knowing she was well and truly taken, the she wolf couldn’t help her gaze drifting along his naked form. Especially his groin. That was another issue she’d had with Michael. When he had been willing, it wasn’t nearly as satisfying as she hoped. Size wasn’t much of an issue, it was just reluctance to try anything new. Already, as she gazed toward the vampire, she was assessing several situations. With a soft bite to her lower lip, the female rose her gaze up to meet his. “So, you coming? Or did you want to finish yourself off?” It wasn’t like her to be so brash, but he certainly brought that out from within her.

				William wasn't so lost in the refreshingly cold water that he didn't hear Evelyn awaken. At the sound of her footsteps, the vampire felt his lips curling into an arrogant smirk. She'd know he was awake at this point, with the rest of her pack still asleep. Would she dare to step inside the bathroom and make a comment to him? William hoped she would, welcoming the sharp comments and banter the female Alpha always greeted him with. It was clear he was getting under her skin and that was certainly entertaining, but William would be lying to himself if he also didn't admit that he wouldn't mind helping Evelyn with her <em>frustrations</em>. After all, he'd only promised to watch the pack. Whatever else happened between himself and Evelyn...<br><br>Those thoughts were interrupted as Evelyn herself decided to make an appearance, her opening words causing the vampire to laugh from under the stream of water "And why should they be scarred? Surely my naked splendor would not render such a mighty pack of wolves helpless?" The vampire replied with a cheerful tone, raising his hands up to scrub away at the last of the shampoo. Looking after the pack wouldn't be so bad, and it would allow himself more time with sweet little Jen. Unlike Evelyn, Jen was clearly enjoying his charming personality and seemed more akin to a fawn in the woods than a mighty wolf when it came to personality. A real girly girl, something Evelyn might want to take a few pointers from.<br><br>Her offer for a run was a surprising one. As William finished up with the shower, he considered the offer, pondering to himself as he leaned over to shut off the water. Why not? His scent was clearly all around the house at this point, causing any but the most brazen of attackers to pause at taking on both werewolves AND a vampire. Even then, the pack had already taken down one would be attacker. Future strikes, if any, would be much more calculated. Besides, a little alone time to show up Evelyn could be fun. At the very least they could finish off the race they'd started yesterday, before Evan's dumb pack ruined it. <br><br>Modesty wasn't something that William found to be apart of his vocabulary. He'd already proven to Evelyn that he was a man who preferred action over pretty words by taking her kill, but for whatever reason she seemed to believe that taunting him now would prove to be to her advantage. As William turned to answer Evelyn's offer, he paused as she seemed to taunt his semi hardened state. <br><br><em>Well then</em>.<br><br>"Finish myself off? Fingers might be enough to satisfy you, Evelyn, but I certainly don't mind leaving myself a little pent up" Stepping out of the shower, and still dripping wet, the vampire walked up to Evelyn and grinned at her, his gaze dipping down to appreciate how she looked in her athletic apparel, all tight and well fitted to her killer curves and body, causing his cock to twitch in approval of what he saw "I'll happily join you for a run though. Just let me find a pair of shorts and I can meet you outside. Sound good?"

				“Naked splendor?” The she wolf retorted with a hint of laughter behind her words. “That isn’t the word I’d use.” Well, it wasn’t a lie, however, it didn’t mean that the word she’d use would be any worse. Evelyn was almost captivated as she watched him wash of the remaining shampoo. The way his muscles moved, tightening and contracting with his casual movements. It almost made her wonder why he was showering at this hour, clearly he was frustrated. Evelyn wondered if she’d interrupted anything, the mere thought caused a slight smirk to grace upon her naturally rose lips. All she really wanted was to show him just how much he was biting off with a pack. They weren’t an easy beast to beat, as he’d been shown earlier. Werewolves were known for their rage and ferocity; Evelyn was no different.<br>&nbsp;<br>Evelyn’s brow rose upon hearing his comment. “Who said I was satisfied?” The female retorted with a hint of a cocky smile curving over her lips. “I already burnt out the only vibrator I had so, for now, it’s all I have to work with.” The female couldn’t help but notice the way he stood before her, naked, wet, and sporting a rather cocky smirk which was similar to her own. It was when her gaze drifted down that she noticed his rather hard asset twitch. The mere thought sent a rush of lust from within her. “Don’t forget to wipe up the water.” The female nodded toward the water pooling over the floor from where he’d left the shower. With that, she turned on her heel and made her way toward the door; if he thought she would be going easy on him, he’d be wrong.<br><br>The she wolf made her way out toward the front garden, slipping on a pair of sleek black running shoes on the way. As she left the porch Evelyn bent over, not at the knees but at the hips as she began to tie her laces; clearly revealing her well-formed rear. Once she was finished she rose promptly, waiting for her partner of the evening. It didn’t take long for him to arrive, soon after Evelyn began to walk down to the sidewalk. “There’s a park not far from here, we’ll have to climb the fence but it’s worthwhile.” The female didn’t bother to slow her pace, she had a feeling he’d keep up, however, it’d be another story once she got into the park. Evelyn was more than ready to unleash some of her frustration out, it had been building for some time, there was no doubt in her mind she’d soar off before him.<br><br>Once they reached the park, it was clear that the place was well taken care of and covered a fairly large area that was covered in lush grass, large evergreens and various gravel footpaths. Evelyn slowed as she neared the large, chain link fence that cornered off the park. With a few swift movements, she leaned up and hooked her fingers into the fence before swiftly scaling up and swinging her legs over the top of the fence. With a hint of a smirk, she dropped herself down onto the other side, landing gracefully on both feet. The she wolf simply turned, cocking her brow toward William, “Coming?”<br><br>It didn’t take long for them to scout out a place to begin the race. “So, shall we make this interesting? A bet? We could wager several hundred.” Her gaze lit up toward the Vampire as she began to raise her arms above her head, stretching the length of her body upward, causing her breasts to thrust up at the same time. “So, how about it? Three hundred?”

				His gaze followed Evelyn as she left him, his expression unchanged as the door shut behind her. A morning jog sounded like a good time, a way to shake off the restlessness that William had felt building since he'd woken up. Though he preferred to release such tension in other ways, a workout was never a bad way to go and with Evelyn at his side he'd push himself a little harder. Snatching a towel from the nearby rack, he wiped up the little pools of water that had gathered around his feet, making sure that the bathroom was just as clean as when he'd entered. William didn't mind being called arrogant but he'd be damned if anyone would complain about his cleanliness. That would just be rude of him.<br><br>Digging through the clothes he'd brought along, William found himself a pair of dark running shorts and a well fitted red black muscle shirt. Smirking at himself in the guestroom mirror, William couldn't help the affectionate flex he gave himself, watching his well crafted muscles ripple against the form fitting fabric, rolling his broad shoulders before heading downstairs. His timing seemed to have paid off as he stepped through the front door, finding Evelyn in a very lovely pose, her behind thrust back into the air as she tied up her shoes. Whistling loudly as he walked up beside her, William flashed a wide grin her way, keeping pace alongside the werewolf as they ran off towards the park. William had a feeling that this was simply the warmup and once they arrived at the destination, things would be different.<br><br>The park was essentially the postcard example of what a park was supposed to be, with it's emerald green grass and perfectly paved footpaths. William half expected a young couple to come prancing through the underbrush, holding hands and singing about how in love they were. Instead, Evelyn led him off the path to a chain link fence, making a show of jumping over it with ease, with William following closely behind "Feeling a little anxious, are we?" The vampire teased as he landed alongside the werewolf.<br><br>Not missing the way her breasts were thrust out against the tight confides of her sportswear, William chuckled as he stretched his muscular limbs "That's all, hmmmm? Three hundred? I suppose if you're feeling unsure about yourself, I can work with that..." The vampire teased as his tongue darted out to lick at his lips, wetting them in anticipation "After all, there's no telling what might happen between a werewolf and vampire when left all alone in the woods in such <em>dangerous</em> times" William's grin as he spoke was wide enough now that Evelyn would be able to see his fangs, his gaze giving her another clear up and down before taking his position at the starting position for the race "I'd tell you submission is an option, but I've never found anything wrong with a little resistance before I...<em>win</em>"

				Evelyn did her level best to ignore the whistle that rang through her ears, a slight hint of adrenaline rushed through her at the thought of the meaning behind it. The she wolf wasn’t used to getting much attention, especially as her husband was far more focused on werewolf matters and setting a good example than paying attention to his wife. Thankfully, as they made their way to the park, a feeling of competitiveness rose up within her. They’d been fairly similar in speed, while she was on all fours. Evelyn doubted she could push herself that much, but she’d try her best considering. If only they were a drive from the city, but she wouldn’t risk that, not now.<br><br>The blonde snorted softly in retort, “Anxious? You don’t know me very well, clearly.” A hint of a sly smirk crept up along her lips. “Not all of us make money with something as easy as a kill. Michael wants to fit in, remember.” She shot him a playful glare as she finished stretching. His words only made her more certain that she needed to win; she needed to push herself. “Well, we know the vampire will get his ass handed to him.” A casual shrug of petite shoulders caused her breasts to swell together for a moment, enhancing her cleavage. Oh, she saw the way he looked her up and down. She could see the intent in his eyes; she wasn’t going to give him an inch.<br><br>“I don’t even know the meaning of the word,” The female couldn’t help but allow a grin to slip over her lips as she began to lean slightly forward. “3… 2… 1….” The female bolted off, leaving the loose gravel cast back from her powerful set off; her powerful thighs forced a good speed, her body curving easily into the thick forest, darting and weaving much like her other self. Despite her curiosity, Evelyn didn’t glance back. She simply kept running, leaping over significant branches and various other natural debris. As she moved, her breasts rose ever so slightly upward against the fabric of her well fitted shirt. The momentum kept her moving swiftly, despite her body soon feeling the toll of such a vibrant gate.<br><br>Unable to help herself, Evelyn glanced to her side. She could smell him, he wasn’t far off whether he was to the side or in front. The she wolf followed her nose, nearing her target. If he thought this would be a plain race, he was wrong. Evelyn didn’t often play fair, Michael was the one that demanded it. Evelyn, on the other hand, was far more playful and spontaneous. Her blonde curls bounced wildly as she forced herself to a higher speed, her feet barely touching the ground as she soared toward her target. Without warning she burst toward him, colliding into his side and sending the pair flying down toward the rough, cold ground.<br><br>When they stopped rolling, Evelyn swiftly settled on his lap, straddling the Vampire as she glared down toward him. “You mentioned what would happen in such a dangerous setting. Do tell me, William. What exactly do you think is going to happen?” The vixen couldn’t help the soft pants that escaped her, the petite frame above him often rising slightly with her swift breathing. Of course, she began to gaze over his body as he had done to her. Evelyn found herself almost staring at his body, the way it seemed so perfectly formed, so muscular. It was all too tempting. Yet, she didn't move.

				Getting into a lowered running position, William knew that in a fair race he'd have no chance against a werewolf. They were simply too gifted when it came to physical prowess but if William was clever enough, he should be able to get Evelyn distracted enough to win. He wondered if she was thinking the same, looking over at her and making note of the grin resting upon her lips. She was clearly focused on the win and the forest was a place where she seemed to regularly jog through...William was at quiet the disadvantage, which meant that the taste of victory would be that much sweeter when he beat Evelyn to the finish.<br><br>As soon as Evelyn finished counting down, William was at her heels as the pair of them took off. Keeping pace alongside Evelyn wasn't an option, so the vampire cut off into the trees, making a move to edge around Evelyn's assumed path towards the finish. With a bit of luck, Evelyn's cockiness would be her defeat, if she didn't find William to be right behind her. All her talk about werewolf prowess would be put on the line in this moment and William couldn't wait to toss it back at her. Cutting through the orange early morning light, William twisted and darted gracefully through the underbrush, mentally calculating his own current position in relation to where Evelyn currently was...though his estimates turned out to be completely wrong. <br><br>If it wasn't for the focus on the race, William might have been able to dodge as Evelyn crashed through the underbrush and tackled him, the pair tumbling through the cool grass and leaves. Coming to a stop on the rough ground, William grinned up at Evelyn as she teased him "Why Evelyn, I had no idea you found me <em>this</em> irresistible..." The vampire said, not giving the werewolf Alpha any indication that he had been completely caught off guard by her tackle. Instead of making any moves to resist the female currently straddling his lap, the vampire propped the back of his head up on his arms, as if sitting on a lovely beach looking out at the waves, completely relaxed.<br><br>"What do I think is going to happen? Well that depends..." William pushed upwards with his hips, his groin pressing up beneath Evelyn so there would be no doubt that she would feel his full, hard length hiding underneath his athletic apparel. His bright sun red eyes stared up unblinkingly at Evelyn before slowly rising up, one arm propping himself up as his other looped around, a teasing finger tracing slowly down her back, enjoying the curve of her back before coming down to the waistband of her tight pants. After a brief moment, his hand continued downwards, palm taking a blatant feel of Evelyn's behind as she continued to rest herself atop of William. His hips continued to gently grind up against her, as the palm of his hand gently massaged her tight butt. Lips pulled back to show off a wide, fanged smile, William's voice a low rumble as he all but whispered to Evelyn "Will you have a <em>taste</em>?"

				Evelyn didn’t even stop to think if her actions were reasonable, she didn’t even know why she decided to tackle the Vampire. The Alpha was used to playing with her pack, but with a Vampire, it was different. Not to mention how attractive the Vampire was. The she wolf rolled her eyes upon hearing the Vampire’s comment, even if he was correct. What ticked her off was the way he simply rested beneath her, as if her tackle hadn’t caused any discomfort. The she wolf wasn’t used to being so easily brushed off. “I wouldn’t call it that,” She murmured softly, her gaze brushing over him with intent. William was unlike any Vampire she’d met before. Hell, he was different to most men she’d met. And that was very, very interesting.<br><br>The very second he pressed his hips up against her groin the female groaned softly, her thick, dark lashes fluttering down somewhat as she savoured the feeling. It had been so long since she’d felt any kind of rush. Any kind of pleasure. She and Michael were almost like best friends, business partners. He wasn’t one for random acts of passion. The she wolf was captivated by the Vampire below her, so much so she remained still as he began to lean up, one hand disappearing behind her back. The female arched her back slightly toward William, her breasts rising as her pulse began to quicken the moment his hand began to drop lower, eventually slipping into her pants.<br><br>A soft groan of approval left her lips as she felt his hips grind up against her soft, hot core. The heat from within her began to radiate down against him, her body already preparing itself by releasing that slick, silk like fluid to coat her sheath. That smile of his had her heart racing, her gaze focused on the fierce looking fangs. They were dangerous, and it was all too appealing. Upon hearing his low, gruff whisper the female forced her groin to press down along his length, rocking slightly as she began to rub herself along his lap. Her mind completely shut off to the partner she’d married, there was no reminder or hint of him in her mind as she allowed her arms to slip up along the Vampire’s chest, her nails raking up along his skin beneath his shirt.<br><br>Evelyn could feel her body screaming for more as her hands threatened to grip his shirt and tear it open. There were so many ideas in her mind, so many cravings. Within an instant she bent her body down toward his, noticing how his frame dwarfed hers as she pressed against him. Oh she wanted him, that much was very clear. Her soft, tender lips pressed roughly against his own. In moments her kiss deepened, her hands slipping from under his shirt to wrap around his neck, pulling her body to press as tightly to his as she could manage. The swell of her breasts pressed up against his hard chest, which only felt as if it were coaxing her on. <br><br>In a split second, she remembered her duties. The Pack. Her Husband. Yet she was on top of a Vampire that was supposed to be protecting them. A hiss escaped her lips as she immediately withdrew her arms and rose from his lap, backing away slightly. It was clear she was flustered and incredibly aroused, which was only more disturbing to her; she hungered for him. “I’m married, he’s your friend, this is just… I shouldn’t have…” Her words began to tumble out clumsily, yet her gaze remained sweeping over his body. “We should go back.” She gave a muffled sigh, her arms folding over her chest. All she wished to do was forget her life and indulge in pleasure.

				William had no illusions about this moment being anything more than an act of pent-up passion between two very attractive people. He wasn't about to claim that he was falling for Evelyn or that this was a way to prove he was a better man than Michael. Evelyn was simply an attractive woman who'd caught his attention, a strong willed feisty alpha that William had found himself drawn to, regardless of her current relationship status. Hell, the whole 'forbidden fruit' situation only made the attraction William was feeling that much more intense, like a helpless moth to the flame. They were drawn to each other, seeking that firework indulgence of fiery passion far away from their responsibilities.<br><br>Evelyn was practically radiating heat as William's hands moved intimately across her body as if seeking to draw her into the fires alongside him. The smell of her arousal teased at the Vampire's sensitive senses, the heavy beat of her heart pounding beneath her clothes...and as she moved to grind back against him, rocking against the movement's of her hips, William knew there was no going back at this point. This was their wordless acknowledgement to eachother, a kindled spark that would never die. The feel of her nails drawing across his pale chest had William gasping as the sinful cocktail of pleasure and pain arced up his spine. Beneath the thin material of his shirt, his chest flexed upwards against Evelyn's nails, hungry for more.<br><br>The kiss was a douse of fuel to their fire, hungry lips entwining as William's skillful tongue pressed between open mouths to wrestle Evelyn's own tongue. Both hands were now gripping her rear, squeezing the soft flesh between his fingers as he urged her closer, hips grinding madly up against her. The plush sensation of her breasts rubbing against his hardened wall of muscle was driving the Vampire insane, his fangs brushing against Evelyn's temptingly soft lips as if to take a bite...but before such a moment could take place, the female alpha pulled away, escaping from the heated kiss.<br><br>His grip falling away as Evelyn rose up from his body as if fearing the heat that continued to burn between them. Sitting up and staring at with a curious look, William shrugged casually despite the clear disappointment in his gaze "And here I thought we were actually getting to know each other" The Vampire joked as he slowly stood, brushing off the dirt from his pants "But if that's what you really want, I suppose we can wait and see if this heat between us dies down" His crimson gaze continued to simmer as William smiled slightly at Evelyn "Now, best you run along first just in case you find yourself with the urge to tackle me again...because if that happens, I may not be so keen to let you out of my grip"

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Every inch of her body felt alive with lust, with heat. The warmth radiated from her like an aura, pulsing through the air. It was wrong, so incredibly wrong. Maybe that was why it was so alluring. William was incredibly attractive; his body was something Evelyn craved. The feeling of his broad, powerful wall of a chest meshed up against her breasts was enough to cause pleasure to sear down her spine. It was an event she would never forget, not that she wanted to. The worst part of this whole incident? Evelyn wanted more. She couldn’t help but play the events over in her mind, it’s all she desired. The friction that had been between them was just building; begging for more.<br>&nbsp;<br>As the female glanced toward William she noticed the hint of disappointment in his gaze. It mirrored her own. “I don’t think this counts as getting to know one another,” She murmured softly. How could she have done such a thing? Michael had been nothing but good to her, to their pack. It was the only thing stopping her. “And if it doesn’t?” She questioned in a rather husky tone. She didn’t feel as if she’d ever cool down. The way her heart was racing was testament to her feelings for him; excitement and lust. He had a point, maybe the heat would die down. This could just be a far too tense situation for them both.<br>&nbsp;<br>It seemed as though his caution was more of a promise. The mere thought of being over his groin almost coaxed an audible groan. With that, she turned on her heel and began sprinting toward the area they’d entered the park. She didn’t hinder, nor did she slow. Repeatedly, her feet pounded into the ground, casting dirt in her tracks as she tore off onto one of the dry running routes. It was awful. This whole night. The first night she’d been in a situation to conflict with her marriage. The most horrific part? She only felt guilty because she didn’t want to hurt Michael, not because she loved him dearly. In all honesty, their marriage had been in shambles for some time. And this little accident seemed to show just how much considering what she’d been so willing to do.<br>&nbsp;<br>The walk home was silent; Evelyn didn’t speak nor she did make eye contact. The woman swiftly made her way inside and made a beeline straight for the kitchen. Without hesitation she rummaged through the cupboards, finding a bottle of red with a large wine glass. It was her relaxation method; right now it was her only crutch. No doubt the pack would be up in a few hours; this was her only time to herself. Once she popped open the wine she poured herself a good deal of the rich, sweet scented alcohol. As she took the wine down into the garden she noticed one of the pack had left a pack of cigarettes on the bench outside. It had been some time since she’d indulged; but why not.<br>&nbsp;<br>The blonde settled on the bench, over seeing her garden and the hint of a sunrise on the horizon as she took a large, unrelenting sip from the large wine glass. Then, she drew a cigarette from the pack and slipped it between her lips, lighting it with ease. After a long, drawn out inhale the female blew out the smoke, immediately feeling a rush of relief. Of course, that wasn’t from the cigarette that rested between her fingers. It was the thought of being out alone in the garden, wine in hand. What she really wanted to do was fuck. <br>&nbsp;<br>In moments her phone began to ring. Retrieving it from her pants she swiftly answered. <br>&nbsp;<br>“Looks like I’m going to be here another week. Seems like this issue is bigger than we assumed.” His tone was all too low, Michael was clearly upset by the turn of events. No doubt he would have run for a beauty pageant if he were female. He could pull off the ‘I care about the world’ ideal.<br>&nbsp;<br>“Are you kidding? Michael, I have needs. I need you right now. Can’t you come home just for one night?” <br>&nbsp;<br>“Where is this coming from? You know I can’t. Evelyn, we have serious shit going on right now, don’t you understand that? We can’t think about ourselves right now.”<br>&nbsp;<br>With that, Evelyn let loose.<br>&nbsp;<br>“You know what? It’s never a right time Michael. Never. You haven’t touched me in years.” Little did she realise her voice was carrying from her angry, vicious tone. “And when we do fuck, it’s the same shit. You let me ride you until you feel it’s enough. Never once have you touched me like you did when we first met while we’ve been married. I’m sick and tired of being neglected.”<br>&nbsp;<br>“I can’t talk to you when you’re being unreasonable, Evelyn. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”<br>&nbsp;<br>As the line died the female cast the phone through the garden with one swift throw. She settled back down, drinking the rest of the wine remaining in her glass and simply staring out. How dare he. His wife should have been the most important thing to him, but no, he had to see every other issue as important. She was last. Always.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;

				Watching Evelyn depart from their little clearing, William allowed plenty of space between them before he followed after her. Regret wasn't something the vampire enjoyed the taste of but right now, he tried to focus on the fact that what he was doing was the<em> right </em>thing. After all, neither of them wished for a relationship or connection, it was all physical. Hormones, pent-up aggression, the fact that they were both fucking hot...it was a flame that would burn brightly for a moment and vanish. And it was clear that Evelyn still had her dear husband on her mind, even with the neglect in their marriage becoming more and more clear. The pack had to have sensed something, unless this was just one of those subjects that no one bothered to bring up. Best not to get in the middle of it.<br><br>But the way William continued to watch Evelyn as they jogged back, even with the distance between them, told William that his body thought his brain was coming up with nothing but BS.<br><br>Evelyn was everything William wanted. She was attractive, challenging, aggressive, and most of all, <em>forbidden</em>. He had an easy conquest in the pack if physical attraction was all that he was seeking out. Jen could easily be charmed back into his guestroom and her sweet young body would happily submit to everything William asked...but that's all Jen had going for her. She didn't have the big DO NOT TOUCH sign stamped across her forehead, didn't make William feel sinful in the way he stared at her. Crossing that taboo line with Evelyn, feeling her <em>need</em> in that kiss they'd shared...a kiss from Jen simply wouldn't compare. William had never settled for anything in his life and he knew full well what he wanted now. <br><br>Returning to the house, William didn't follow Evelyn as she silently went for the kitchen, making his own way upstairs and back to the bathroom. While he hadn't worked up quiet the amount of sweat he'd been expecting, a cold shower sounded perfect at this point. Grabbing a towel, the vampire made his way back into the bathroom, making sure to lock the door this time, before unleashing the cold water down upon his heated skin. It was a shock to the senses but a welcome one as William leaned against the shower wall and just let the water run. Grabbing a bar of soap, he scrubbed himself off from head to toe, the sweet fragrance of 'Tropical Sunset' filling the shower. William had never been to the tropics, but from the smell, it certainly seemed like the place to be at the moment.<br><br>Stepping out of the bathroom mostly dry with the towel wrapped around his waist, the vampire paused at the entrance to his guestroom as Evelyn's angry voice reached his ears. He couldn't quiet make out the words, but it was clear that whoever she was speaking to was getting Evelyn as angry as she'd ever been. Straining his hearing harder, William began to approach the stairway when Evelyn snapped, the angry rant of hers making it clear that Michael was the one on the receiving end of this rampage. Her words were blistering and furious, the vampire unable to hold back on the smirk spreading across his lips. His suspicions on a unhappy marriage seemed to have been lacking, seeing as just how angry Evelyn was at this point.<br><br>Back in his room, William dressed himself in a casual pair of jeans and a plain dark shirt before making his way back down the stairs and peeking his head out into the garden, spying Evelyn with her glass of wine "Shower is free if you need it. I'll just be in the living room if you need <em>anything</em>"<br><br>Shutting the backdoor before Evelyn could say anything, William walked through the house to the living room and took a seat on the large couch, settling back into the soft embrace of the cushions with a relaxed sigh. Running a hand through his damp hair, the vampire closed his eyes and just listened to the house. He didn't think anyone would be showing up for another fight so soon but Michael did ask him to look after things. And with the sun rising to it's fullest, it was best for William to stay indoors for the moment, maybe listen in and see how things were playing out once the rest of the pack woke up.

				Evelyn remained in the dark, her thoughts took flight in a rather negative direction. Michael was a good man, that much was clear. However, it almost felt like he was the opposite when it came to being a husband. It infuriated her to know that she wasn’t his world. It had once been very different. The heat they’d felt was lone gone; it was painful to admit that the heat she’d felt with William that very evening was far more than she’d felt with Michael, in total.&nbsp; There was no way she could justify what she’d done, not that she wished to. It was a mistake, surely. It was a foolish, lust filled mistake, one that couldn’t happen again. Evelyn simply polished off her wine as she continued to stare into the darkness. The sun would be up soon, then their training would begin.<br>&nbsp;<br>The female glanced toward the house as she heard the familiar creak of the door ripple through the air. William. She didn’t know whether to go for him or throw something at him. As he left her in the dark, the female couldn’t help but review what he’d said. Evelyn was pretty sure she knew what he was hinting at, however, another slip up couldn’t be classed as an accident, especially now considering they were nowhere near one another. A soft, muffled sigh escaped her lips. How was she going to resolve this situation? Of course, she was thinking about she and Michael. A simply apology wasn’t going to fix what had happened over the years, not a chance. On the other hand, she could finally have some fun. Did she really want to throw away what she had just to experience a vampire? No, that wasn’t the real question. She wanted to feel needed, desired, and she had someone more than willing to make her feel that way.<br>&nbsp;<br>Instead of going inside through the living room, Evelyn took the back door that led through the kitchen and took her out toward the hall, completely passing the room where her desire was seated. Thankfully, she kept moving. For a moment, she was concerned about her body completely diverting its course simply to indulge in the forsaken waters. There was no doubt in her mind that he would prove to be a refreshing lover, there was already chemistry between them. So much so that Evelyn was concerned her body would take over her mind. It was primal; the beast within her knew what she wanted, and that was William. The remnants of the way he tasted played over in her mind; he was something she was forbidden to have, let alone considering the implications of mixing races.<br>&nbsp;<br>Within her twisted mind, Evelyn was trying to defend the idea of sleeping with the vampire. Hell, she could drink enough to make it a somewhat reasonable course of action giving the situation with she and Michael. However, that wouldn’t feel right on any level. If Evelyn was going to do something, she would do it. There would be no need to change the circumstances just to allow it. Of course, the Alpha had to remind herself of that. He was incredibly alluring; it was difficult just to focus on the fact that she needed to ignore him and his rather perfect body.&nbsp; A soft snort echoed from within her as she made her way to the bathroom. Soon enough the pack would be up, and she would be able to gain some control over herself. For now, she needed a release.<br>&nbsp;<br>It felt like she was going to explode, the rage within her was just desperate to escape. The alpha had been taking care of the pack, her husband and whoever else walked through that door. Where was the man she needed to look after her? He didn’t seem to care. Evelyn was pent up and had been for years, just waiting for a moment to finally allow herself the explosion she needed. As powerful as she was, she could simply tear into any part of the house and cause a great deal of damage. She didn’t wish to take it out on the house or the pack; she didn’t want them to know how bad the situation had been festering in her mind. Evelyn was her own woman, and she would decide how she lived her life. Not obligation, not her emotionally distant husband. No. She needed to do something for herself; something she wanted, hungered for. No doubt this would change once the anger faded; but she wasn’t focused on repercussions now.<br>&nbsp;<br>With as much grace as she could muster, the female turned on the stairs and began to make her way back toward the living room. She knew all too well that the pack would soon be up, considering that the sun was beginning to rise. Blonde curls began to trail down along her shoulders as she eased around the door frame, her gaze fixed on the male resting on the couch. “Bedroom, now.” There was no request, no question. It was clear they both wanted the same thing. With the turn of her heel, the female made her way back toward the stairs, not turning back to see if he was following. As she began to make her way into the bedroom, the female began to tug at the hem of her shirt, soon enough pulling it from her frame before casting it aside. The action displayed her sun kissed, shapely form. Especially the way her body curved inward at her waist and began to span out at her hips. <br>&nbsp;<br>Evelyn knew she was betraying a trust she’d honoured for several years; and she couldn’t bring herself to care. There was a vicious beast beneath that seamless, angelic face. Michael didn’t see it; he chose not to. However, that didn’t mean it was gone. It would never fade; it was part of who she was. Fortunately, she was certain that someone had seen it, and he wasn’t shying away in the slightest. It was almost as if there were some kind of acceptance in that. They were both hungry for something they shouldn’t want, or even look at. Yet, they were all too willing to take what they desired.<br>&nbsp;<br>Evelyn began to circle the king sized bed, her fingers trailing along the dark wood that formed the base and pillars of the rather romantic design. “We don’t have long, either that or you’re going to have to keep me quiet.” Her voice was a low purr, almost a challenge. It was a thrilling game; and she was all too ready to play. With a swift movement, she hooked her hands around her back and unclipped the tightly fitted bra, causing her mounds to spring forth as she cast the material aside. It was needless to say she’d been blessed with a body that most women would kill for. Her breasts were clearly well rounded, yet remained perked, which was no doubt praise of her work out sessions. “If you can handle me, that is.” Another taunt. She wasn’t about to go easy on him, she just hoped he had the same in mind.

				William had never considered himself an expert on women. Sure, he knew a few things that they seemed to enjoy and knew more than a few ways to make them feel good between the sheets, but when it came to actually understanding women and their decisions, William was like a sailor lost at sea. He was all instinct, a predator in the truest sense. The vampire could never go on a stage and explain how he managed to flirt and tease, he simply did what came naturally. Even if those natural instincts led him into a bathroom late at night where the wife of a friend lay naked in the bathtub and instead of exiting, he'd almost fed on her. The instincts that had led him to continuously tease that wife, despite her forbidden nature. William liked to tell himself this sort of thing shouldn't be an issue if the husband was at least fulfilling. Was it his fault that Michael was a terrible husband?<br><br>And so with these thoughts churning in his head, William continued to listen to the sounds of the house around him, with his attention mostly focused on Evelyn's movements. He was more than a little curious on what she would do now, how she would react. These were clearly unknown waters for the both of them. William wasn't exactly a wife stealer and Evelyn had clearly never before considered going behind her husband's back. None of this was by the book, it should have been a simple bodyguard job and William could have just found himself sharing his bed with Jen if he'd decided to think with more than just his dick...no, that last part was a lie. He <em>wanted</em> Evelyn, moreso than just the 'thinking with the dick' excuse. <br><br>It was at that moment that William opened his eyes, listening as the sounds of Evelyn's footsteps began to trail back towards the living room. It had sounded as if she'd been impatiently pacing for awhile now and whatever she'd been considering, it had come to a conclusion. Despite his outwardly calm expression, William could feel his heart kick up an extra beat at the anticipation of hearing her approach. Part of him hated himself for feeling so attached to her, to feel so nervous about what she might say. Get Out seemed the most likely, considering the awkward walk back. Perhaps an ultimatum? Inwardly, William was smirking at the hallway entrance to the living room, while outwardly, William looked as though he was simply relaxing on the couch with not a care in the world.<br><br><em>“Bedroom, now.”</em><br><br>Without giving him more than a moment to digest those words, Evelyn was in and out of the room before William could make a comment. No further words were required as William rose from the couch and followed Evelyn, his sunbright eyes slightly narrowed in suspicion. Following Evelyn up the stairs and to the bedroom, he watched as she began to undress, taking in the sight with perverted pleasure. Shutting the door behind them, William stood by the doorway as Evelyn made her way to the bed, teasing him about what was about to happen. William was curious about what had changed in the brief time they'd spent apart but he wasn't about to take up a conversation. Instead, the vampire simply watched silently as Evelyn continued to taunt him with her body, leaving herself topless in all her blessed glory. Her confidence was sexy as hell, the challenge in her eyes reminding him of the race before.<br><br>No turning back this time.<br><br>Unlike wolves, vampires didn't need to shift in order to access their supernatural gifts. It was thanks to this that William was able to circle around Evelyn from behind, one hand snaking around her waist while the other slipped up to her throat. The grip on her waist was passionately forceful, pulling her back so that her butt was pressed directly against the hardened bulge growing dangerously large in the tight confides of his jeans. At her neck, William's fingers squeezed gently, teasing her as his lips ran up along the slender curve of her neck, parting his lips slightly so Evelyn would feel his hot breath on her naked skin, slowly making it's way up along her jaw to her ear before nipping down upon her exposed earlobe.<br><br>As his teeth came down upon her exposed flesh, William thrust against her perfectly round behind and ground his hardness against her. The hand on her waist holding her back snaked upwards, roughly grasping at an exposed breast as hungry fingers squeezed and groped at Evelyn's body with perverted intent. There was no romance in William's actions, he wasn't attempting to be seductive or loving. This was animalistic, a dominate showing that he <em>wanted</em> her and he was going to <em>take</em> what he wanted. His thumb cruelly flicked at her nipple, feeling it harden against his stimulation before biting down on her neck, his fangs just grazing against her skin, not hard enough to break through, but surely there would be a hint of a mark afterwards.

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Evelyn hadn’t expected the whirl of air behind her, which soon turned out to be hands slipping around her. A gentle, soothing moan slipped from her parted lips as she felt one hand slide around her throat, as well as her waist. The rush of adrenaline was unmatched as she was pulled back against a large, hard bulge. Immediately, she began to thrust her rear against him, causing the supple flesh of her rear to begin caressing along his growing length. If this is what he was packing, then she couldn’t wait to unwrap it. Not a thought spawned of her husband, she was far too entertained to even consider something that would wreck her current arousal, even if it was something as important as a partner. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined she’d be in her bedroom with such a wild, untamed beast like herself.<br>&nbsp;<br>A groan of approval slipped her lips as she felt the warmth of his breath caress her ear lobe, it felt as if her whole body had become alive. Every inch of her body was sensitive, awaiting his touch. Another moan flowed from her lips with ease as she could feel his hard length forced against her toned rear; oh it felt incredible, and she wanted more, desperately. “Harder,” Her voice broke softly as she felt his fangs grazing against her skin, the pressure was enough to cause a slight twitch of pain. “Drink,” She commanded harshly, desperate to feel her blood flow into his mouth. “Stop teasing me,” Her voice uttered helplessly as she felt his touch against her bare, sensitive peak that began to harden and ache with need. If he kept this up, she was going to explode before he even had a chance to get inside her.<br>&nbsp;<br>Evelyn hadn’t felt as aroused as she did now; she could practically feel the power ebbing from him in waves, caressing and warming her body with every passing second. Evelyn decided she couldn’t wait any longer. The female slid one hand back around to the front of his jeans, squeezing it between her rear and his groin. Evelyn’s fingers began to caress along the hard, exceptional length she’d been pressing back against. With haste, her fingers soon began to find the button to his pants. It didn’t take her long to unbutton them as well as pulling the zip down as she shoved her hand down into his pants, finding exactly what she’d been seeking. “Why hadn’t you just shown me this big boy before,” Her tone hummed in a slow, lustful manner as she gripped her fingers around him. <br>&nbsp;<br>There were many things she wanted to do, however, there was one she felt she could manage to do right then. With some effort, she began to fight his grasp, enough to turn her front against his. With an alluring smile she began to drop down to her knees, dragging his jeans down with her. A gentle purr rumbled from within her as she tugged down his underwear, watching with awe as she noticed the large, swelling erection spring forth. The female shifted slightly forwards on her knees, bringing her lips to the tip of his cock. Hungrily, she began to force him down into her mouth, her lips clasping around him with ease as she began to thrust him in and out of her mouth. It didn’t take long for her to force him into the confines of her throat, soft gagging noises emerged as she struggled to take it all in, he was by far the biggest she’d ever seen.<br>&nbsp;

				This was everything that William <em>shouldn't</em> be doing, he was distracted, alone with a married woman and in a position where any armature assassin would be able to take them out...but William didn't give a <em>damn</em>. His attention might have been drawn towards the hallway outside if it sounded like the rest of the pack might be waking up but the silence of the house gave William confidence that the pair of illicit lovers wouldn't find themselves disturbed by any annoying pack members...yet. The risk of getting caught only added to the heat in the moment, the temperature in the room prickling at William's sensitive skin as he felt Evelyn eagerly responding to his aggressive movements, her entire body thrusting back into his arousal, begging for his bite. <br><br>William would have been more than willing to grant Evelyn the bite she so desperately craved only to have her hands curious movements give him pause, before realizing what she was after. Smirking against neck, William moved to give her more room to work her dexterous fingers, the soft clicking of the button on his jeans being undone along with the unzipping of jeans, momentarily pausing the vampire's brain as she gripped his thick length, clearly enjoying what she was feeling "What can I say, I just love being a fucking tease" William growled into her ear, deep bass tones resonating as his hips jerked against her hand. She wasn't too tight with her grip, firm enough so that his enlarged organ could still twitch and pulse against her smooth palms, the shiver of arousal tingling up his spine.<br><br>Feeling Evelyn attempting to turn in his grasp, William loosened up a bit and allowed her to turn about, wondering what she had in mind. A kiss? Returning his nibbles with some of her own? Being such an aggressive woman, William found himself somewhat surprised but very pleased as Evelyn began to sink to her knees, taking his jeans along with on her descent down to the floor. Hearing her purr, William's cock twitched in eager anticipation as his underwear followed his jeans down past his ankles. A snarky remark about getting Evelyn to her knees was caught in the vampire's throat as Evelyn kissed the swollen tip before taking his length into her mouth. Being a fairly large specimen of male masculinity, William let out an approving moan as Evelyn worked her lips and mouth in ways he'd never quite experienced before. Normally there was allot more gagging, but Evelyn...she was determined.<br><br>"<em>God damn</em>..."<br><br>Eyes closed, William titled his head back and lost himself in the sexual bliss, one hand trailing down to caress her hair, tangle his fingers in the soft strands, working to encourage her lustful movements as his hips began to rock in time with her sucking. A low bestial growl escaped from William's throat, his grip on her head tightening as he began to really fuck Evelyn's face and throat, his cock now fully erect thanks to Evelyn's <em>encouragement</em>. Oh the things he would do to her, Michael was such a damn fool for giving this up...but William would be sure to treat her right, in all the ways that really mattered...<br><br>"Evelyn? You awake?"<br><br>A slight knocking at the door, the tired voice of one of the pack...William couldn't remember which one, but he honestly didn't care, not with Evelyn's perfect lips wrapped so wonderfully around his length.

				Evelyn knew she shouldn’t have been doing this; she knew all too well what problems may arise from doing such a thing; for betraying her husband’s trust; and that’s part of the reason why she found herself in this situation. It was thrilling; not only that, but she subconsciously wanted revenge, she wanted desperately to show him how she should have been treated, how much she was worth before he casually tossed her aside to become a spokesperson for the werewolf kind. It was infuriating. He had a loving wife, a loyal pack, a home where they could have a family. A home where they loved to run; it all seemed perfect. It all came crashing down as Michael spent more time away, at first, Evelyn assumed he was cheating. He wasn’t. He was simply addicted to his job, more so than his wife.<br>&nbsp;<br>The female glanced up toward the Vampire as she heard his cuss, a soft purr vibrated from within her and travelled down her lips in approval. Finally, someone loved what she was doing. It came to mind that she’d offered so many things to Michael, just as she’d done with William. The difference was, William seemed to revel in her touch, Michael simply dismissed it. The woman made sure that with every moment, she was forcing him further, attempting to press his pleasure as much as she could manage. Evelyn wasn’t a woman who stood for anything less than perfection. It may be a difficult task, but she was going to blow his mind.<br>&nbsp;<br>The alpha was only further encouraged as she felt William’s hand snake down into her hair. Groans spilled from her as she felt his hips begin to force him further in, causing low, soft gurgling sounds to ebb from her. He was even bigger, clearly fully aroused. Soon enough, she could feel his grip tighten, his hips began to thrust further. From the sounds coming from him, it was clear that he was enjoying it as much as she intended.<br>&nbsp;<br>The very moment she heard a voice call her name, Evelyn slipped back, forcing William’s grip to loosen as she dropped him from the soft, warm confines of her mouth. It was another reminder that she was the alpha of a pack that depended on her; as well as Michael. A soft, irritated sigh escaped from her lips. All she wanted was to be left alone with the Vampire for at least another hour. “Mia, go start breakfast. I need some more sleep. Make sure everyone is heading out to their run since we didn’t get one in this week.” The alpha glanced up toward William, knowing her breath had no doubt caressed along his admirable erection. “Nobody is to disturb me.” The young girl gave a soft agreement before making her way downstairs.<br>&nbsp;<br>Once Evelyn was content that they were once again on their own, she rose up to her feet. “Looks like we’re going to have less time than I thought. We’ll be lucky if they don’t come barging in.” Her tone whispered playfully as she began to edge back onto the bed. In moments, she rested on her elbows, her body displayed before him, legs apart and bent at the knee, displaying every inch of her body to him. “So, now what are you going to do with me?” Her blonde curls cascaded down her breasts and along her back. No doubt she was a pleasant sight. If truth be told, she couldn’t wait for him to put an end to such a long and displeasing drought.<br>&nbsp;

				It would have made sense for them to slow things down at this point. To push their luck, to keep things going at the passionate pace at which this moment had started would only spell trouble for the two of them. All they needed was one of the pack to hear or smell what was going on behind the closed bedroom door for the entire situation to be placed in peril. These thoughts all made sense to William and it seemed as though Evelyn agreed. Even as her breath caused his saliva covered cock to twitch throb dangerously in her grip, the werewolf alpha blatantly laid out the fact that they couldn't expect to remain undisturbed for long. She almost made it sound as if she wanted this moment over quick to reduce the risk. Another sentiment that William agreed with...not that he was going to follow any of that advice.<br><br>The vampire was upon her in a moment, gripping her hips and tossing her farther onto the bed, one hand going to her wrist and pinning her down against the bed as his mouth descended upon her neck and giving Evelyn the bite she'd been so desperate for just a few minutes before, his vampire fangs sinking into the tender skin of her neck. The vampires bite meant many things aside from just a simple means of feeding. Some considered it a sign of possession, a sign that a vampire had deemed you worthy of being bitten, of being their source of nourishment. In that same moment, the tip of his cock kissed at her heat, teasing between her legs with little regard for the lines they were about to cross. If there was a moment where William still had the chance of stopping what had been started it was at this moment, where his body was poised to spear Evelyn and break the vows they had both made for an indulgence in forbidden pleasures.<br><br>William choose pleasure.<br><br>His thrust was harsh and forceful, taking Evelyn in one hard push. There was nothing in that initial thrust that suggested William was planning on make this gentle for Evelyn as his hips drew back to take her again, his thick cock forcing her body to adapt to his impressive length and girth. She felt so damn good, so perfectly tight around his length, how could Michael have ever neglected her? The man was an even bigger fool that William had initially thought as he took his friend's wife again, on their bed. It was so terribly wrong which made it all the more sinfully delightful. Shame, guilt, there was no place for those feelings here as William's lips forced themselves on Evelyn's, leaving the pair of bite marks upon her shoulder, while his tongue invaded the sanctity of her mouth, caressing her tongue and tasting her sweet saliva. It wasn't enough for William to just fuck her, he would take <em>everything</em> and have Evelyn loving every moment of it.
