INDEFINITE HIATUS

[cainixis]

              If it were even possible, Dakota’s heart only plummeted further into               the pits of her belly, churning up and making her feel more than a               little sick. Lost his mother, his pack to a fire. It made her chest clench               and it was her motherly instinct that broiled up and told her to reach               out and soothe but she stayed her hand. It seemed it happened some               time ago and she only figured that speaking of it now was bringing the               other wolf fresh wounds. “Well I know it’s a little too late. But if you ever               need something, the Sentinel House is open for you and any of your               friends. It’s not much after so long, but I don’t think it hurts to have a               friend like me on the sidelines ready to help.”

         The sudden change in the young Alpha’s demeanor surprises him,          though he should have expected it. His mother inspired a lot of wolves,          had many connections all over the country and some around central          Europe and Ireland. She was a highly influential woman, and the news           that she wasn’t around anymore normally sparked that kind of reaction,          though seeing it after so long rehashed all those memories and feelings          of guilt and remorse. ❝It had been years since anyone was at the house.          That’s why it was demolished. My sister and I had gone to New York          after…after the fire…❞ He trails off when he see her gesturing towards          his pocket, shaking his head. ❝It’s nothing that won’t keep.❞

           “Alright, alright. My mistake entirely. Pardon            my curiosity, dear. It comes with my work is all.”

             “Trust me, you do not want to know.  It’s                safer that way.  And I’m not your ‘mon                cherie’, alright?”

Babe. {Charles, obvs.}

Send me a “babe” for muse’s reaction to yours groping their ass.

               It wasn’t often that she got the house to herself, often times it was filled               with the patter of little feet and all sorts of messes, but that week her               charges got to go to summer camp which left a very empty Sentinel House.               It was such a strange thing really, the place was so quiet and normally                she’d worry about what sorts of messes the children would be getting               into. Dakota would have worried even more if she hadn’t had company,               but thankfully Charles had been keen on providing that. They’d settled               on the sofa for movies and she’d just leaned to reach for some more               popcorn when she felt the heat of his hand slip under the fabric of her               sweats and grope over a pallid cheek. She gave a little squawk, face                going beat red as she reached back and swatted at his arms. But that               grin of his only had her heart speeding up in her chest. “Such a naughty               thing,” She purred, moving slowly to let the sweats slide down and to               expose both cheeks. “You know the children aren’t here,” her eyes                flashed that brilliant orange. “I don’t have to be quiet tonight.”

"babe"

Send me a “babe” for muse’s reaction to yours groping their ass.

               She was god awfully drowsy, fingers plucking through the fridge in               hopes of just finding something to eat, to curve the hunger that’d                startled to rattle in her belly around midnight. She’d reached for a               cold slice of pizza when she felt the teasing fingers of someone                else creeping over the short shorts she’d chosen for bed. A deep               breath was all it truly took to know just who it was and she couldn’t               much help that giddy little smile that tugged up at her lips. Food for-               gotten the Alpha shuffled her hips back to encourage those hands               closer, licking over her teeth to feel them grope and knead over pert               cheeks. “Mmm, if I wasn’t too sure, mon cherie, I’d say you woke up               for a late night snack too.” Dakota waggled her brows as she glimpsed               over her shoulder before she arched, dusting her lips sweetly over                the beautiful woman just behind her.

[cainixis]

Fuck, are you okay? Yeah I think so. I don’t know…

[cainixis]

             The young Alpha’s features faltered, and for a moment she felt               the overwhelming gush of sorrow seep through and latch onto               her heart. Derek seemed to be almost detached and she could               only assume the worst and hope that she was horribly wrong.               “I’m so terribly sorry to hear that, I really am. That home was               a beacon to a lot of wolves. It’s truly a shame.” Licking over her               lips a moment she gave a faint nod. “I’m sorry to be taking up               so much of your time, mon cher. Please, if I’m distracting you               from better things,” Her hand twitched toward his phone that’d               gone off earlier in their conversation, “Please see to them.”

           ❝ I’d say it did ❞ he murmurs, frowning slightly. Maybe            he had some books that would help her, but he wasn’t            willing to offer them to her yet. He pauses at the mention            of his family, brows furrowing as he looked up at her.            Did she know, or did she not? He couldn’t tell, but he            figured he’d refrain from mentioning their deaths. It was            a scab he didn’t wish to pick at. ❝….There isn’t much            of one anymore. The house got demolished by the State.❞

[cainixis]

              “C’mon, mon cherie. Let me take you back               home look at it, hmm? I promise I won’t keep               you any longer than that’s necessary, alright?               What’s your name, darling?”

     Claire stood still for her, letting her      look at the wound. “I guess I should      probably get it patches up, at least.”       But she planned on moving on as       soon as it was done.

[cainixis]

       The car Dakota had chosen to drive was spacious enough she hoped to accommodate all his things in the trunk and to let him stretch out in the backseat if he so chose to sleep most of the way. She sure as hell would have taken up that option if it’d been given, but this was the first stint of them spending time together, she had to cater to him, to let him know that she was to take care of him now. The bags were loaded up and she ushered him to the car, “If you’d like we could stop by and get some fast food before we hit the road. Not the best for you but I’m sure it tastes a thousand times better than whatever they were feeding you in there. What do you say?”

“Whatever,” he grumbled and he turned away from her then, moving to do as she said, to pack his clothes up. He still wasn’t a hundred percent sure that he wasn’t dreaming or hallucinating or whatever. It seemed real, sure, but that didn’t mean anything didn’t it? Of course, if it truly was a dream, he reflected, his father and brother would have been here to see him off. That they were not was a huge kick in the gut reminder that it was real, that he was really shipping himself off to another state again, this time at their request. Maybe he shouldn’t have come back at all. Maybe that was what they’d wanted in the first place.

       Dakota gave a little wriggle in the seat of his lap, fingers trickling down the lapels of his jacket and hooking a finger into the neck of his tie just to give it a playful tug, to bring those glistening lips back down to her own to adorn them with a few soft, lingering kisses. Catering to others is what she did. It was her calling and she had no qualms what so ever to do the same for your handsome man. “I missed you too, mon amour.” Sweetly her fingers plucked at the upper buttons of his shirt so that she might lean in and leave a litter of sweet little kisses there. “What do you need me t’do for you darling? Anything you want. Lemme make you feel better.”

Charles hummed against her at the question, hands settled against her hips; he was hungry alright, but not for food. He needed her then, to soothe away the stresses of the week. “Food isn’t what appeals to me right now, darling,” he purred, tongue darting out to wet his lips, tasting her there.  “I have missed you.” 

[cainixis]

         “Well it’s obvious to me. And            I don’t mean to intrude, I am            merely curious, mon cherie.”

              “What do you mean, obviously?  It’s not                obvious, and you don’t need to know.”

[cainixis]

       Dakota walked idly beside the hulk of a man, fingers drumming idle patterns and beats into the rusted steel of the handle, eyes never straying too long from the eager little boy that’d been given a second chance because of the man beside her. “I’ve heard little,” She admitted, but the weight of her sigh spoke enough. “But I’ve heard enough to only begin to imagine what things that poor little boy had to suffer through.” It pained her so desperately that she needed to even have the Sentinel House that she did. That children needed a safe haven from the world that was all too hating, too dangerous. Her eyes didn’t need to look to already smell the emotions that he felt and she only matched them. A hand lifted, reached for his bicep and gave it a fond little squeeze. Something reassuring. “Don’t worry, Mister Rogers. What you did for him was great and it looks like you got him just in time. He has a long happy life in my home, I promise you. No bad things will touch him or even try to under my care. That I can swear to you.”

A Home Away

[cainixis]

The Alpha let out a rough noise. Chatter about his mother, good or bad, was a sore spot for him and that was keenly etched on his features. Tongue basting his lower lip, he shook free the cobwebs of memories that Dakota had tossed his way. Granted, he knew that were unintentional. Just a thought she brought his way. He found no fault in that. Following her, he took a seat, a glance to the lemonade before he put the bag down on the opposing stool. "--I'm sure she'd like to meet you. [1/2]

                    The young Alpha halted, lips pressed and she did not need to be an                    Alpha nor wolf to know that the words that’d she’d offered, no matter                    how well their intentions, made him uncomfortable. She murmured a                    mute apology just beneath her breath, trying to convey her sorry with                    the soft look on her face. Hand neatly tucked into her lap she watched                    the young man take his seat. She makes note to be far more professional                    in the way she carries herself now, for it seemed her overly genial ways                    have only truly led to the poor man’s discomfort. At the motion toward                    the bag she cleared her throat and went a little more stiff, “Any donation                    would be great for these children. A lot of the funds that we’re looking for                    now is to start up college funds for the permanent stays with me. Any                    help that you could give to that would be wonderful— or you could make                    donations to food if you’d prefer, Mr. Hale.”

Under all this praise Scott is going to turn red as a beet. But he really didn't mind. He came to sit down next to her, with his plate of food and drink. What is it with teenage werewolves and their voracious appetites? He takes a bite of his sandwich, chewing, thinking, before he swallows. "Thanks, I hope I can really help out the community, you know, like you have. Everyone talks about Sentinel House and not in the bad way, but you've really done wonders around here." Sip. Thought.

               Dakota’s fingers trickled over the sweated sides of her glass, tacking               little beats into the edges as her eyes raised up and she couldn’t help               but grin at the young man. “You already are by helping me, mon loup.                You’re a young man with plenty else to do besides help around this               house but you choose to do anyway— you’re gonna grow up and make               a fine wolf, and an even better man. Thank you for thinkin’ so, but I would-               ‘nt have been able to do half of this without all the wonderful souls like               you so willin’ t’help me out.”

"Kodi, I've got those new brochures for you." Euan had offered his photography skills free-of-charge to the Alpha. Without hesitation, without a doubt that they were going to a good cause. He had taken several shots of the building as well as group shots of the children and the workers. He had taken the liberty of piecing together the brochure so she had something to show investors. He offered it to her with that smile on his face.

                    The young woman perked her head up and smiled warmly at the                    tall Beta as he stepped through the door, waving him toward the                    kitchen where she was kneading dough over the granite topped                    island. She couldn’t thank him enough for all his help with the                     house, more so, for his beautiful works to get their name out there                    even more. Dusting her fingers off on her apron she plucked at                    the brochure and read through it slowly, lips quirked up widely                    at just how beautiful he’d made everything inside. “This is abso-                    lutely incredible, mon cher. You really outdid yourself with this,                    it’s beautiful. I’d like t’order as many of these as I can get. How                    much do I owe ya for the printin’? And don’t you go and say nothin’.”
