A Wolfs Mate

Raelynn Holton


James Reikon

Howls of laughter filled Raelynn's ears as she sat in front of a rather large bon fire. Her bare feet dug into the sand that she was sitting on. Taking in a slight warmth the earth would provide as a cool breeze blew and caused the fire's warmth to blow the other way. today, well, tonight really was her eighteenth birthday. She was legally an adult in the human realm, not that it would equate to much as her packmates were very protective of her. Never allowing her to explore on her own, for she was the only shifter female within hundreds or even thousands of miles.

Dark blue eyes glanced towards the right as the appearance of a fellow pack member caught Rae's attention. Charles, one of the males who often went out with Rae when she wanted to explore the city. His dark brown hair looked almost black with the lack of light, his dark brown eyes appearing black. To those without the eyes of a wolf, he'd seem scary, but, Rae knew him. He was a sweetheart. She'd trust him with her life. She has, multiple times actually.

"Hey." The young female greeted the male as she wrapped her arms around her legs as she brought them closer to her chest. Her head resting on her knees as she took in the rather fit the appearance of the male beside her. "Hey, you tired?" He asked as he sat down next to her, a beer in his hand. Rae watched as Charles relaxed back on one arm, his eyes on her, but her attention was on the dancing light on his face as the flames danced a small ways away.

"A little, it's been a fun day." She murmured quietly, a small smile playing along with her lips. The pack had gone out of their way to plan the bonfire for her, knowing that one of her favorite things was a nice night just looking out at the water and star gazing. "Why don't I walk you home? It's been a long day and I don't want to risk you falling into the water." Charles said, teasing Rae and giving her one of his teasing grins.

Maybe it was her instincts, but Rae got the feeling that she shouldn't trust Charles tonight. There was just something in his eyes that caused her to feel a little nervous. "I-I don't-" Charles cut Rae off so she couldn't finish her words. "I'm not drunk if that's what you're worried about," Charles said, showing her that his beer wasn't even halfway gone. "This is my first one still. Promise." He crossed his heard in an X motion to make his point across a little bit stronger.
Rae stared at Charles for a moment more, her lips pursing into a thin line as she thought then parted slightly as she let out a small sigh. Her hands moving to rest on her bare knees as she stood up. "Alright, fine." She murmured quietly as she dusted off her white shorts and fixed her burgundy off the shoulder top. "Let's go. I feel like I'm going to crash at any moment." Rae murmured, which caused a grin to appear on Charles' lips as he jumped up. Leaving his beer on the ground, the taller male offered for the female to start walking towards the pack's summer home before he'd follow.

"So chilverous." Rae mused, rolling her eyes teasingly before she offered a small smile and headed towards the small path that led towards the house.

The walk was quiet as the two walked towards the house, leaving the rest of the shifters at the beach still. The smell of the smoke dulling Rae's sense of smell for the next few hours, not that she minded. It made her think of summer and how it'd be the only season where she was allowed to stay up later than her bedtime when she was a pup. It was calming, a very warm memory. Something that never ceased to cause a small smile to appear on her lips.

Then, as the two were halfway to the house. Or at least, that's what Rae assumed as she had been following Charles, a branch snapped and caused Rae to turn around quickly. "What was that?" She asked, feeling the hairs on the back on her neck and arms raise with uncertainty. "Nothing that you need to worry about," Charles said next to her, which caused a small frown to appear on the girl's lips as she turned her head towards him. Rae hadn't been taught to let her guard down, so when she glanced at Charles, another wolf jumped out of the woods and grabbed her, wrapping one of their arms around her waist while the other went to cover her mouth.

The young she'wolf tried to scream and kick as she tried to escape her captors. Doing all that she could to get away, but failed as another strange wolf came out of the shadows and injected something into her neck. An within moments, caused the world to seem to slow down as Rae started to feel sluggish and out of it. "We got her, let's go." One of the strange males said in a gruff voice as he grabbed Rae's waist and flung her onto his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Come, newbie, I'm sure he will want to thank you for bringing this prize straight tohim." The gruff voice spoke causing a wave of curiosity to wash over Raelynn. She would have focused on wondering what he meant, but sleep seemed to be creeping up as Rae slowly fell asleep, not catching the rest of the conversation.

James leaned back into his armchair, looking over the fire roaring in his fireplace. His hands were together as he was lost deep in thought. He was waiting for his group to come back with his prize. It felt like James had sent them out years ago but in reality it had only been this morning... but so much was riding on this. James needed this girl, needed her to be part of his pack, to be his mate. She was the only female shifter James had heard of within reach for years. And Damn, he was going to get her, one way or another. His pack soon started to howl, indicating that the team had come back from their mission. Wether they were successful or not was still undetermined...

The leader and another pack mate walked into the house but when going to the parlor, they knocked on the wall besides the entrance, "Sir, we have her." The leader said, his voice filled with pride. James' smile spread across his face before he stood up from his chair and turned to the men. He walked up to both of them, and capped his hands against their shoulders. "Tonight, we celebrate. You two will be rewarded handsomely."

He called out to one of his commanders and told him to start a celebration for the pack and that he would be out in a bit. Once the men left his house, James picked the girl up, threw her over his shoulder and headed down to his Furnished Attic. James had everything set up for the girl to live in style. As his mate, he wanted to make her comfortable. That being said, all the windows were made of bullet proof glass, and the door locked from the outside. James also had set up a few other things up to ensure that she would be obedient, but that was for later.

James laid the girl down on the made bed before sitting down on the edge of it. His eyes looked her for, looking at her with a deep hunger before he ran his tongue over his teeth. He reached down, pushing her shirt to the side before leaning down and pushing his teeth into her delicate skin. Marking her was another way to ensure that this girl would forever be his.

In the darkness, a fire started to burn. At first, it was just a warm glow, but then it slowly started to wrap around her. Slow at first, and then slowly becoming more intense. It felt like her whole body was burning up like she had walked into the bonfire that her pack had created for her to celebrate her birthday. The warmth was unbearable and Rae wanted nothing more than to run, run as far away from the pain and heat as possible. She couldn't though, because her body wouldn't listen still.

A heavyweight filled Raelynn's body as she slowly started to stir. Her senses dull from whatever it was that the ones who had attacked her had injected into her. Her limbs felt like they were encased in cement, and her wolf's instincts were on overdrive. Scratching at her insides to run away, to hide, for her to wake up and realize what was going on. An wait, why was her wolf whining inside of her?

Another wave on heat ran through Rae as she felt pain radiating from her shoulder. A small groan emitting from her lips as she finally started to gain control of herself. Her nose started to breathe in deeply, and the scents that met her caused Raelynn's eyes to snap open. This place wasn't familiar. This didn't smell like her pack, there was no scent of cinnamon in the air or fresh pine. Nor did the sights that she saw radiate any familiar memories.

It wasn't til Raelynn laid eyes on a man that she felt pure panic start to take over her. Her eyes quickly move to his lips where a tinge of blood, her blood from the smell of it, lingered. "W-what the hell?" She murmured, her eyes narrowing slightly in confusion as she tried to scoot away from the man. Only to wince at the shooting pain in her shoulder, followed by her heavy limbs causing her to fall back onto the bed because they couldn't support her yet."Who are you? Where am I?" She asked, her voice quiet as a throbbing headache developed to go along with her throbbing shoulder.

(I changed Rae's pic, I hope that's alrigh.)

@ FallenHope95

James wiped the blood off of his lips as the girl started to ask her questions. It was a bit unfortunate that she had woken up so quickly. He had been hoping that she would sleep for a few more hours, if not for the rest of the night. Though she was awake and he was in front of her, so there was nothing that he could do about this now. He might as well explain her situation before he left for the party.

Reaching over, James ran his fingers through her hair, pushing any of it out of her face. He wanted to be able to see his mate properly. She was his now and there was nothing around that. "My name is James Reikon, I am the alpha of the silver crown pack. You are in the mountains, in your new home." James motioned at the room. "This is your room, for now." If she learned to become obedient and be a good mate, James would want her eventually to move down to his room. He would shift this room to an office or something along those lines for her. This room would always be whatever she needed it to be. For now, it was her bedroom.

"I have bitten you and claimed you as my mate." James said as he reached down and ran a hand over the blood that was dripping down her collarbone. He brought the blood to her nose for the woman to smell before licking his finger clean. James was sure that she could feel it in her, that she had been claimed in him. From the moment his teeth had sunk into her flesh, Jams had felt a shift in him. Though he wanted to make the process of confirming to the woman quick. James didn't want to spend the night trying to convince her of what happened.

"You are still weak and should rest. This will be a better conversation to have in the morning but I didn't want you to be afraid and confused until then." James said as he stood onto his feet. Preferably, James would give her a good life here. But to do that, he needed her to follow his rules and be obedient. James figured that it might take some time but he was going to get what he wanted in the end. Though he was hoping for that sooner than later as he would prefer his mate to be happy. "Tell me your name before I go."

@ BearGirl
It was pretty much an instinct reaction of hers. To flinch when she noticed his hand coming towards her face. Bright green eyes clenching shut tightly as she felt the smooth motion of his hand running through her hair. His scent not lingering on her more promptly than before and filling her still clogged senses with nothing but him. His scent was all she could smell, and surely, he'd be the only thing she'd be able to think about as well since her mind was foggy with everything else at the moment.

As the male pulled his hand away from her head, Rae slowly opened her eyes halfway. They were starting to grow heavy once more as she listened to the man, who she now learned was named James. Her lips slowly shifting into a small frown as she learned who he was and where they were. "Silver Crown Pack." Rae murmured quietly, the name of the pack sounded familiar, but with her hazy mind, she wasn't able to pinpoint why. It could have just been a collaboration of words that she's seen on a poster, or maybe heard someone speak in passing. Whatever it was, Rae got a worrisome feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"Wait, wha-" Raelynn murmured tiredly, giving the man a confused look. Her head turning to the side slightly in confusion. Her body instinctively flinching as she noticed his hand coming towards her once more. Although, the feel of his hand on her shoulder and then the mixture of her blood and the toxin that was unique to James met her nose a shiver ran down her spine. "No..." She murmured, fear slowing in her tone as she struggled to try and push away from him once more, but with no avail. Her limbs weren't working fully and she felt sleep starting to pull on her. Dragging her back into its warm embrace to allow for the marking to fully take over her as well as getting the drug out of her system.

"Screw you." Rae murmured quietly as she felt her eyes growing heavy and pulling her down under. "I wanna go hmm." Rae fell back asleep before she could finish her declaration of wanting to return to her birthplace. Her breathing slowing as she breathed through her parted lips. The worried and terrified expression that she held turning to one of peace as she slept in the foreign room.

Once the woman was out cold, a grin moved over his face. He was pleased that she had passed out again so quickly, and that he managed to explain most of it to her before she did so. Hopefully, that would make the next day much easier for the both of them. He wasn't too concerned about her reaction. James was expecting some pushback, but soon enough, he was going to get her to be obedient.

Standing up, James wrapped the woman up in a blanket, ensuring that she was laying properly in bed before he turned and headed out of the room, locking the door behind him. He would have breakfast prepared for the woman in the morning, and he would bring it up. He was not ready for any of his other pack mates to meet her. There were some things that James needed to take care of before others could come in and talk to their new pack member, and his mate. If she was careful, the woman could have a rather high position in the pack as his mate. Though that remained to be seen.

He headed outside to greet everyone and officially started the party. Those who deserved it were given great praise and rewards. And everyone else was able to celebrate with good food and good drink. Most of his pack headed off to bed in the wee hours of the night, drunk. After the prize they had gotten tonight, they all deserved to have a bit of fun. James, himself, headed back to the house with the happy, warm feeling in his chest and a grin on his face. It had been a good night, and he was hoping that the morning would go well.

Before falling asleep in his own bed, James set an alarm to bring up breakfast to his captured mate. Hopefully, James had timed it correctly that she would have just woken up when he sees her.

@ BearGirl
A tired groan escaped from the pretty young brunette as she rolled onto her stomach. Her legs stretching straight out as her arms crossed under her pillow. Her face burying into her pillow for a moment, the silk fabric feeling nice and smooth against her skin before she turned her head to the side and let out a small sigh. Her head was less foggy now and she could think clearly once more.

Slowly, Rae opened her eyes and stared at the light grey wall that was across from her. Soft pink lips slowly moving into a small frown as some hazy memories started to fill Rae's head. She had hoped that it was a dream. A very, very bad dream but it seemed that her want was going unanswered because it was real. The slight throb in her shoulder told her that. "Mmm, crap," Raelynn mumbled as she slowly turned so that she was sitting up in the bed.

Then, slowly, Raelynn shifted her body and slowly got out of the warm bed. The cooler air of the room sending small chills to run up her spine as her feet touched the wood flooring. Her right hand moved up and pushed the sleeve off of her left shoulder a little more, allowing for Rae's light green eyes to gaze at the mark. "He really did mark me." She mumbled quietly, frowning at the idea of the man, James, marking her without her consent.

Raelynn checked out the rest of her body to make sure that she wasn't hurt or defiles in any other way before she went to a window in the room. What she saw caused a larger wave of unease to fill the young female. Nothing here looked familiar, so she had no idea what way she'd have to run if she ever got out of this place. The sound of footsteps approaching caught Rae's attention and she couldn't help but glance over her shoulder warily as she waited to see who was approaching the room she was being captive in.

@ FallenHope95

Once James unlocked the door and walked into the room, his eyes immediately landed on the woman. She was awake, and it seemed that she was feeling better than last night. Good. He wanted to talk to his new mate, and to eventually pull her over to his side. He knew it was going to take a while for her loyalty, which was something that James was willing to be patient for. Though, there were some things that James planned on forcing on the woman rather quickly.

"Good Morning." He said as he walked over to her and set the food down on a two person table that was set up in a corner of the room. The plate was full of good food, a variety of things to ensure that there would be something the woman would eat. Fruit, Country Fried Steak, Hash Browns, Toast, Jelly, butter and peanut butter. Plus a glass of water and coffee. "Please, come sit and eat. I know you must be hungry."

James knew that the girl needed to eat something after being knocked out like that for so long. While she was currently his prisoner, James didn't want to choose to be cruel and forceful if he didn't have to be. Though he was willing to do whatever he needed for his pack.

Sitting down in the opposite chair, James leaned back and relaxed. There was nothing that the girl could do to him that he couldn't react to. James knew he was strong and powerful and he was sure he could take her on. "I believe that we have a lot to talk about but I would prefer that you took a few bites first"

@ BearGirl
As soon as Rae' eyes landed on James as he entered her room, a knot started to form in her stomach. Her wolf wanted to submit to its new mate, but her human mind told her to be wary. This guy was not to be trusted so easily. He freaking kidnapped her on her way home. What sort of mate would do that? Much less mark her without even thinking if she wanted to be mated to him.

Her gaze shifted to look back out at the unfamiliar landscape as the man came into the room more. Her bottom lip slowly moved between her teeth as she slowly sucked on the soft flesh. She wanted to scream at this man. To lash out, but, she had to be practical. She needed to think things through. Surely, there's got to be a way out of the mate bond. Right? She should probably try and get on this guy's good side so she could get away easier. So she could go home without being totally broken.

It took a few more moments of Raelynn ignoring James before she finally caved and walked towards him. Silently taking a seat in the chair across from him and grabbing a piece of toast. She was starving but held back from scarfing everything in front of her down. Instead, she just took some butter and spread it lightly on the toast before taking a small bite. Her bright green eyes looking up towards his hazel eyes.

"Why am I here?" She asked quietly after swallowing her food. She may not like this guy, but she wasn't a slob who walked with food in their mouth. "Where even is here?" Rae added on to her question. "You know my pack is going to come for me. Are you really alright with starting a fight over me?" Rae's head tilted to the side as she waited silently for any sort of reply from James. Her gaze studying the man's face as she waited for any sort of reaction to her words.

@ FallenHope95

"You are here because I needed a suitable mate... I think you are well aware by now that you are the only female with your...abilities for miles and miles of here. I need a strong bloodline for my pack. A more traditional arrangement would have been preferable but unfortunately, you and your pack saying no wouldn't have bode well for my pack." James told her matter of factly. He had no reason to lie to her about any of it. "I do apologize for things ending up this way but I care about my pack's survival more than anything else."

"As for where here is, the mountains. Though I don't plan on giving you more information besides that for now. I would prefer to tell you and let you roam around but I fear you might try to run away. I would understand but I think you can understand why that would be an issue for me." James motioned a bit towards the plate. "And please eat more than the toast. I know you need the sustenance right now."

"As for your pack, I am not overly concerned. I rather not fight your friends and family but I will if need be. Besides they do not know where you are. It will be difficult for them to track you down, and once they come, I have the upper advantage. My pack is stronger, we are a war pack, unlike yours." James said, looking at her. "Though if things work out, I have no problems with your pack visiting or you visiting them."

He looked over her for a moment. "What is your name?"

@ BearGirl
Slowly, Raelynn's shoulders slowly started to sag. She was not happy with what she was hearing but did not interrupt James. Instead, she just closed her eyes and lowered her head. She had nothing to argue about or try and question on. She knew he was right, she knew she was the only female shifter that could shift for miles. She was weak, but she was not stupid. She knew to choose her battles at least.

A small sigh escaped from the young wolf as she sat up straight in her seat. Her eyes opening once more as she looked at the food. She raised her fork and started to nibble on the food that was in front of her. The cogs in her mind spun, running all of her thoughts around. She was trapped, but he wasn't being cruel to her. He had kidnapped her, but if things didn't go bad then he would allow for her to see her family again. This just didn't make sense.

"Raelynn," Raelynn said quietly after she ate a few bites of the hashbrowns and fried steak. "But I prefer Rae." She reached out and gently grabbed the water glass and took a few sips. Her gaze turning towards James as he sat across from her. "Why didn't you send a request to meet me?" Rae asked quietly as she set the glass down on the table. "Is it because you're scared of being rejected?" She asked curiously, tilting her head to the side as she looked at the man across from her. James may seem calm, but Rae could sense a darker element under his cool demeanor.

"Have you even talked to a female before?" She was taunting him now. It was a bold move and probably stupid on her part. Her bright green eyes shifted to the other side of the room then, showing that she really had little interest in continuing her conversation with this male wolf. Her eyes then glanced towards the door for a moment as an idea filled her head. She wondered if it was unlocked. If she could get his back to the door, maybe she could be quick enough to run through it. Rae then looked away and stared at a painting across from her, hoping that he didn't catch her looking at the door.

@ FallenHope95

James couldn't help but chuckle at Raelynn's question. "I have, yes. Do you ask because you do not like the way I am talking to you currently? I simply want to be honest and get to the point. I see no reason to circle around your questions or try to be sickeningly sweet." He glanced over her for a moment, a little smirk on his lips. It was easy to tell that she was trying to goat him but it would not be that easy. "I do wonder if you have ever talked to anyone outside of your pack, however."

He continued on. 'It would have been a mistake to send a request to meet you considering the circumstances. It was obvious that your pack was trying to keep it quiet about you, that they were hiding you the best that they could. Many of the packs around you didn't even know about your presence. A rejection would have been a guarantee. They were keeping you for themselves, sweetheart. They wanted to use you for their bloodline as well."

James folded his hands and moved them into his lap. "Surely they have told you that at some point. Maybe even picked out your future mate for you." He looked over her face for a moment before continuing. "Or perhaps they had not been honest with you about their intentions?" He mused. "I assure you, Rae, that they had a plan for you. Though maybe they were not as honest with you about it as I will be."

"Oh, perhaps I should tell you what I plan on doing if you try to escape, I think you will find it very interesting." James said, a bit of a sadistic smile coming over his face. "Would you like to hear it? Or I can just keep it a fun little surprise for you."

@ BearGirl
Any little hope that Rae felt like she had the upper hand in this conversation seemed to falter as James spoke. Her gaze on the painting hardening a little bit as she relaxed back in her seat. Her arms moving to cross over her chest in a defensive position. James had struck so many nerves in Raelynn that she didn't know how to react.

Yes, her pack was protective of her. Yes, she was told by her alpha that she'd be arranged to mate with one of them and she agreed to that. She knew that she was close with all of them. They were her family, she knew she could rely on them. That's why she was alright with her life being decided on by letting them choose her future lover. She was okay with that, but, as Jame spoke it out loud. It felt like a rock was weighing her insides down. She felt sick.

"Then what is your plan for me?" Raelynn finally asked as she turned her head to once again face the man sitting across from her. Bright green eyes narrowed as she tried to seem fierce like she's seen others in her pack do when they were in an argument. "Besides stealing my freedom from me?" She asked, tilting her head to the side slightly. His mark on her shoulder still raw showed underneath the edge of her shirt sleeve. "I will not breed with you if that's what you're after. I will not carry on your bloodline, it'll end with you. You disgusting mutt."

Raising from her seat, Raelynn moved to the other side of the room. Her arms crossing once more as she glared out the window. Her nostrils flared as she tried to control her anxiety about everything that's happened. She was terrified, angry and extremely confused. Her wolf wanted to move towards him and investigate him more. Continue getting to know the male that's claimed her. While her human mind was telling her that she should just get over it and try to escape. Shouldn't the saying stranger danger apply to this situation?

A small sigh escaped from Rae as she raised a hand and rubbed her temples. She was done with this. She just wanted to go home. "I just want to go home." She mumbled quietly and turned her head to look at James. Trying to give him her best puppy eyes that she could muster.

@ FallenHope95

James let out a laugh before shaking his head. "You really think that is going to work? First, you insult me and then you try to look sad? I am not that easily fooled. And, I already said that I will let you go home for vacations once I get what I want. And once you show me that you can be obedient, of course."

Standing up, James slowly moved over to her. He took his time, looking the young beauty up and down. He wanted this to be a relationship that worked but he also refused to get played. And he really did not want Rae thinking that she could step all over him. Now that was unacceptable to James. Besides, maybe she would be a good girl if she knew what her other options were.

Grabbing Rae by her upper arm, James pushed her and pinned her into the wall besides the window. He immediately moved his body on top of her, keeping her stuck between him and the wall. The alpha looked down, watching his mate's face for a moment before he started to speak. "I don't need your permission to mate with you." He said roughly. "If I need to, I'll chain you down to this bed and fuck you as many times as it pleases me until you're pregnant again and again.And I don't give a fucking damn about your freedom. Good Girls get what they want but you're going to have to fucking earn it." He growled before throwing her arm down and taking a step back.

"You have a choice to make this week. Either, you can be a good little mate and bear my children. In which case, I'll treat you well and give you what you want. Or, you can be bad and I'll make sure to make you fucking miserable while I force myself on you and get the children anyways" James looked over her, his eyes narrowing. "It is up to you how you want to do this dear. But I'll give you some time to think it all through."

@ BearGirl
It felt like she had just made one of the worst mistakes of her life. Rae watched silently as James stood up, listening to he speaks as he moved towards her. Which caused all of the hair on the back of her neck and arms to stand on end. Her wolf told her to roll over and cower to the alpha. His wolf emitting such a strong presence that she barely registered how quickly he had pinned her to the wall or the slight pain that she was feeling in her arm.

A wince was the only indication of any pain that Raelynn felt as she tried to keep herself calm. Her eyes clenching closed as she heard every word that left his mouth. Felt the vibrating of his chest as he spoke, the strong for some reason comforting scent that he created that filled her nose. She was terrified, this was a terrifying situation that she was in and James didn't seem like the kind of guy to fool around with threats like this. She could tell in his tone that he wasn't making this up.

"I hate you," Raelynn mumbled quietly as she clenched her hands into fists and brought both of her arms up and rested them on the wall. Her forehead then leaning forward to rest against them. Her breathing becoming ragged as she felt herself starting to become emotional. Tears tried to well up in her eyes, but she held them back as best as she could. Not wanting to allow James to see her in this moment of weakness.

"You're a monster." Rae finally mumbled quietly after a few moments of trying to collect herself. Although, the quivering in her voice obviously gave away that she was still trying to hold back the tears. "I may be weak, but I will never submit to you. I'd rather die." She sniffled and turned her head to look towards James, doing her best to send him a glare as she tried to not seem so weak even though her chest was shaking with the sobs that wanted to escape from her.

Terror, filled Rae's veins as she slowly turned her head to look the taller male in the eyes. Challenging him to try and scare her even more than she already was. Her heart beating rapidly, threatening to beat out of her chest. The loud thumping sound of it filling her ears as the blood pooled quickly through her body. Her breathing quickened as she felt her wolf fighting her to move towards him and take in his scent once more. To try and get more contact with her body. She refused though, and that seemed to anger her own wolf as her human instincts seemed to be fighting with her wolfs.

@ FallenHope95

James looked her over for a moment, he could feel his wolf telling him to just claim his mate now - or in the least to move back close to her. Though he was able to easily calm his inner wolf down, telling him that he would just need to wait a little longer before they both get what they want. James took a moment though and lifted his nose up, taking in a deep breath before a grin came over his lips again. "That is your choice. Wether you rather be treated well or live tied up and die later on. But just know that you will have my children either way. Just know if you deny me, you have many years of suffering ahead of you before I'll let you go."

He took a moment to adjust his shirt. "Though I suggest that you listen to your wolf. I know she wants her mate, that she wants me and my wolf." James said with a grin. "And she can tell something that you can't, that I will genuinely take care of you if you are a good girl. Your wolf wants me, and the love I offer. And even if you pick the hard way, your wolf will always long for me."

James smirked, taking a moment to look over Rae again before he turned and headed towards the door. "Finish your breakfast dear, you're going to want to keep your strength up." With that, Jams headed out of the door, closing and locking it behind him. He wasn't worried about anything Rae had said to him. She would have a week to make her decision and he had a feeling that her wolf would push her to make the right one.

Though, for now, James had a job to do and that was taking care of his pack. Besides that, he desperately needed to go for a run to satisfy his wolf.

@ BearGirl
Slowly, Rae closed her eyes and shook her head side to side as she tried to pay no mind to what James was saying. She was so afraid right now, she was trapped in a new situation and her wolf was contradicting every little thing that she knew she should be feeling. Rae's wolf wanted this man. The man who freaking drugged them kidnapped them and has them locked in a room like a little princess. She hated this, she hated being so defenseless.

Slowly, Rae let out a loud sigh as she slowly shook her head at what James was saying. She hated how right he was. She hated how calm he was in all of this. She hated him. So, when he made it to the door, Raelynn rushed to the bed and grabbed a pillow. Throwing it at the door and watched as it barely made a sound as it hit the back of the wooden door. A small growl escaped from the young girl as she held in a scream. All of her build up emotions scratching to get out, to allow for her to work through things on her own. To figure out what was going on.

Walking over to the door, Rae bent down and picked up the pillow. She couldn't get over the fact that even though she was still in a tantrum state, she wanted to clean up after herself. The stupid habit that her mother had instilled in her when she was a young pup.

Raelynn tossed the pillow back onto the bed after she lightly dusted the pillow off. Then she sat down on the edge and buried her head in her hands. She was so freaking lost. She had no idea what to do, and no one to lean on. She was all alone, and that combined with being marked by a male who was as messed up as James just sent her mind into a whirlwind of thoughts. She needed to escape. She needed to find her pack, she needed to get rid of this damn longing for James that her wolf kept bringing up over and over again.

"Ugh, I can't take this!" She groaned out as she stood up straight and looked around the room. Rae's mind was working like crazy as she felt her anxiety starting to build. She felt the strong urge to shift and tear this room to bits, to chew a hole in the door to escape from. She wanted out, she hated this room.

Then, Rae's eyes slowly moved towards the nearest window as an idea came to her. She didn't really know that there were different types of windows. Much less that it could really hurt her if she tried breaking it, but she was going to try anyway. So, walking towards the window, Rae tapped it with her right pointer finger. It sounded like normal glass to her, maybe a little thicker. She didn't really think much else of it as she stood back for a moment and tried to remember what she's seen the males in her pack do before they munched something.
Her thumb tucked protectively under her fingers as she made a fist, then she used her enhanced strength to punch the window. She expected the thing to shatter, to allow for her to have an easy escape, but what she got instead was a ripple of pain.

"Ahh." She breathed out as she slowly sank to her knees as she pulled her hand back towards her body. "Bloody hell." Rae murmured quietly as she looked down at her sore hand. She could see that some of her knuckles were starting to bruise already and some of her skin was cracked. She tried to open and close her fist, but only managed to barely open her hand. She might have just sprained a few of her fingers in her rash escape plan.

"Damn it all." She murmured as she slowly turned around so that her back could rest against the wall. Her legs brought up to her chest as she gently rested her hurt hand on top of her knees. Her forehead then leaned against her knees as she allowed for the stress tears to finally escape. She just wanted to go home.

As James started to head out of the pack, his inner wolf let out a small whimper. Because of his connection with Rae, his wolf knew when his mate was in pain. It would not cause him any harm but his wolf would make sure that James was aware of such things. Since it was important to him to keep his mate safe. That was going to be his own battle with his wolf if Rae decided to do things the hard way.

Turning to one of his pack members, a woman named Hazel, he asked her to go check on Rae and to fix any injuries that she might have. It was not in James' interest for his mate to start hurting herself now. He needed her okay, and the only way she should be getting injured was at his own hands. At least James would make sure that she was well enough to have his children. Once Hazel agreed, she headed off to the main house and James moved into the woods. His wolf wanted to check on his mate but James knew better than to go back to Rae yet.

Hazel made her way to the house, followed by two of the male pack members. They would be behind the door in case Rae tried to escape, or do something to sweet, young Hazel. The girl was only 14 but had learned a lot about healing from her mother already. The young girl knocked on the door before slowly entering the room, but staying by the door. She dropped to her knees and bowed her head in submission to the superior wolf, knowing she needed to respect her older pack members, especially the mate to the Alpha. The young girl was clearly a bit afraid but was still staying were she was. She held onto her basket, which held all of the items she needed to heal with.

"Alpha asked me to come check and heal you. May I please come in and do that Miss?" Hazel asked, her voice quiet as she continued to look down at the ground. She was waiting for permission from Rae to move forward and do what she had been told to do.

She didn't know how long she'd been curled up by the window, but Rae could feel it in her legs. They were starting to get sore being in the same position, the lack of blood flowing in them causing them to feel a little numb. Her wolf wined, wanting her to get up and move to the bed, but she refused. She felt more comfortable hiding by the window. She could easily see the door from her spot, which meant she could use the bed to jump over and get away from James if he dared to come after her again.

The scents that met Rae's nose alerted her to the company she would be getting first. Her head stayed down as she listened. Two, no. there were three of them. Raelynn gulped as she imagined these three coming to hurt her. She couldn't help but to tense her body as the soft knock sounded. Were they a meek wolf or where they trying to play Rae? Whatever it was, she didn't make a noise of recognition. At least, she didn't till she heard it opening and closing, followed by a young girls voice.

Silence filled the room for a few moments before Rae couldn't help but look up. Her bright green eyes narrowed slightly in suspicion as she wondered why such a young girl would be here. "I guess, but, do you even know what to use?" She asked, observing how skittish this girl seemed to be. The fact that she was so submissive really didn't sit well with Rae. She was used to being the one to submit to others, so this was quite odd for the young girl.

Shifting her gaze, Rae looked down at her hand and noticed the dry blood on two of knuckles. Then she looked at the dark blue and purple marks. She really did a number on her knuckles. She should have tested the window with the lamp or something first.
