#i'm a big believer in positive reinforcement :P

[greenbergsays]

So, I saw @kedreeva last week when she was on vacation and we had lunch together (yay us, I always love hanging out with the wife)

But when we parted ways, I called my dad and was talking to him about it and he asked, "So, this friend of yours. Is this person on your list?"

"What list?"

"The list of people you'll hug."

I don't know why, but I cannot stop thinking about that conversation. It's popped into my head at least once a day since it happened.

I guess sometimes I'm just hit with the realization that I'm very lucky that my family understands and accepts my idiosyncrasies. They always have.

For most of my life, my mother had a disclaimer when we met new people.

"This is [Des]," she'd say. "Don't be offended when she doesn't talk to you."

She said that all the way until I was well into my twenties.

I was never made to talk if I didn't want to--which is a good thing, honestly, because when I was younger I had so much anxiety that I couldn't talk sometimes--and I was never made to touch people. Nobody ever told me that I was too old to be so reticent or that I needed to "grow up."

I never had to make myself palatable for other people. My family just made sure everyone know this is the way I was and that wasn't gonna change. That might not sound like much, but considering the fact that I was born in 1990, it feels like a pretty progressive way to grow up for that time period.

idk man. I complain a lot about my family sometimes, and they deserve at least half of it, but then I remember stuff like this and I'm glad I got stuck with these people.

[demonsandco]

I searched through your blog and I'm honestly so surprised you don't have more Simeon content. That being said, if you're still doing it, can I get the WHOLE smut alphabet for Simeon?

You’re right! It’s a shame cause he’s very much one of my favorites now that we get to see more of him in game! Normally I wouldn’t do the entire alphabet like this because it’s… a lot, but Simeon deserves it uwu. This is nearly 3000 words, which makes it my longest post yet by a long shot!

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Simeon is such a sweetheart after sex. He’s not actually sleepy, but his limbs feel like jelly and he’s full of so many soft, loving emotions. All he wants to do is keep his partner close in his arms, slyly stealing kisses from their lips and whispering words of love in their ear. He’s not eager to get up or move at all, but he’s willing to have a bath or grab some water if they join him. Sex leaves him feeling rather emotional and vulnerable, and he really just wants to feel them near him and hear their voice.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Simeon’s favorite part of his body is his hands. He wears gloves often to protect them, leaving his skin feeling so soft and smooth. He’s a very hands on type of person, and he’s quite skilled with them, too. One of his favorite things to do during sex is run his hands up and down his partner’s sides, feeling their warmth under his palms.

In turn, Simeon loves every part of their body. If he had to pick just one part, though, it would be their eyes. He’s a firm believer in the saying that “eyes are the windows to the soul” and he could lose himself in their gaze. He’s fond of maintaining eye contact, watching their expression shift as they get close and memorising the different shades and tones that make up their eye color.

(Cont under the cut)

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Simeon cums so much, both in quantity and frequency, but he hates the messiness of it. It feels good in the moment, but it gets cold and sticky way too quickly for his liking. He really likes to see his partner covered in his cum, as though he marked them as his in a way only the two of them would know about, but he’s always quick to help clean them up before it gets uncomfortable.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Simeon really doesn’t have anything that he would call a dirty secret. All the sexual experiences he’s had in the past have been quite tame and he’s very much not the type of person to feel ashamed about his past actions or keep them secret. He’s an open book when it comes to relationships and sex.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Contrary to popular belief, angels are allowed to have sex. As long as it doesn’t impact their duties, angels can do whatever they want with their private lives, and Simeon very much took advantage of that. He’s had quite a few partners in the past, especially before the war took place. His original rank as a Seraph gave him a lot of popularity among other angels. His experiences have taught him a lot about how to make his partner feel good in many different ways, but he never really had the chance to figure out what he enjoys. There’s a huge opportunity for them to experiment with his body and to teach him more than just the basics.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Simeon is really open to experimenting and trying out new positions, so he doesn’t have just one favorite. However, the positions he enjoys most are ones where he can see his partner’s face, especially if the position lets him pull them against his chest when he feels the need for closeness. He’s open to just about any position, though, even if it seems rather absurd at first.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Simeon isn’t goofy enough to ruin the moment, but his playful nature definitely shines through. If he’s in bed with someone, that means he feels close to them emotionally, too, so he feels comfortable enough to not stay serious all the time. Sometimes things go wrong in the moment or something silly gets said out loud on accident. He doesn’t see anything wrong with laughing it off or jokingly teasing each other. He’s good at telling when the mood allows for some laughs and when some composure is necessary.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Being an angel, Simeon’s body is almost entirely hairless. Besides the hair on his head, the only other hair on him is a small patch above his cock and a very faint happy trail. He doesn’t enjoy the feel of shaving, but he does keep it very neatly trimmed at all times. Colour wise, it matches the hair on his head perfectly.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Simeon is quite romantic in the moment. Love and intimacy are very important aspects of sex to him, and that comes through in most of his actions. His pace, his preferred positions, everything reflects that intimacy that he craves. Through it all, he’s sweet talking to his partner, letting them know how good they make him feel, how important they are to him, and how much he loves them. He knows he might come across as too intense, but he wants to make sure they know that sex isn’t just about the physical aspect for him.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Simeon rarely, if ever, feels the need to masturbate. Without a partner, sex really isn’t something he thinks about often, and if he does have a partner, he’d much rather take care of his need with them, rather than on his own. If he does end up jacking off, though, he always ends up fantasising about them, and he finds that he can’t actually cum without imagining them being there with him.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Unsurprisingly, Simeon has a corruption kink. It came as a huge shock to him when he first realised it, but something about having his sweet little human tempt him and lead him down a path of “sin” excites him. It feeds into his rebellious nature that he constantly tries to control. It gives him a rush of adrenaline whenever they convince him to do something shameful or lewd and he finds himself enjoying it and even craving more instead of actually feeling shame.

As well, Simeon also has a massive praise kink. He always strives to please his partner as best as he can and getting positive reinforcement, something he rarely hears normally, sends shocks of pleasure shooting down his spine. The more praise he gets, the more eager he is to be good. If he’s being bratty, praising his good behavior in the past gets him to behave much quicker than a “punishment” would.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Simeon’s preferred location is either his or his partner’s room. It’s a place that feels safe and familiar, while also offering privacy. They can take as much time as they want and be as loud as they feel like without having to worry about anyone bursting in.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Getting Simeon turned on is pretty easy. All his partner needs to do is be direct with their advances. Their boldness excites him. He isn’t the type of person to get turned on by seemingly innocent actions, so their intent needs to be clear. That, alongside some suggestive touches, is more than enough to get him in the mood.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Simeon is usually open to trying anything once and there’s not a lot that he’s opposed to, but he is very serious with his boundaries. He refuses to allow sex with his partner to start impacting his day to day life. Skipping classes, missing meetings, or even risking being late to something, even if it’s not important, in favor of sex is a big no for him. He makes his boundaries very clear from the start, and will quickly become harsh if his partner doesn’t respect them.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Simeon has almost no experience in oral, giving or receiving, but it quickly becomes one of his favorite things. He could spend hours between his partner’s thighs without getting bored. While he’s rather hesitant and unsure at first, he’s very skilled at reading their reactions and starts adjusting his technique to make them feel as good as possible.

He doesn’t enjoy receiving quite as much, but he still loves it! It’s so easy for his partner to make him cum or overstimulate him with just their mouth. The warm wetness of their mouth feels divine and their breath is so hot against his skin, he can’t help but cum embarrassingly quickly.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Simeon greatly enjoys taking his time with his partner, keeping a slow and sensual pace and exploring every inch of their body with his mouth and hands. He’s not a fan of rushing, even as he gets closer to his peak, he keeps his pace steady, his body molding against theirs. He’s not opposed to going faster if they prefer that, but his favorite pace will always be slow and intimate.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Simeon is not a fan of quickies. He’ll be open to trying it at least once, but he knows from the start that it’s not his cup of tea. The whole thing just feels so rushed and impersonal to him. The most important part of sex to him is the intimacy and emotional connections, and quickies feel very lacking in comparison. If anything, they leave him craving his partner even more than before.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Simeon is very open to experimenting and he’s always excited to learn and experience new things. He’s willing to try anything once, even if it’s something that he’s pretty sure he won’t enjoy. The idea of taking risks also interests him, but it needs to only be a perceived risk for him to participate. Something like messing around in an empty classroom at RAD is exciting, but it needs to be afterhours when the school is empty and the door has to be locked for him to feel comfortable.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Simeon’s stamina is not the best, at least at first. He can go for more rounds than the average human just because he’s an angel, but he’s so unbelievably sensitive that the rounds themselves are rather short. It’s been so long since he’s had anyone touch him sexually that he ended up cumming in his pants the first time he was with his partner. With time, his stamina will improve drastically, probably to the point where he could easily outlast them, but he needs some practice to get there.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Toys aren’t something Simeon has ever really thought about using or has ever owned. When he sees the huge variety of toys that exist, he feels excited to try them out, mostly relying on his partner’s preferences and recommendations to pick some. He quickly learns that he really enjoys having them use different toys on him and, in turn, he loves the new opportunities the toys give him when it comes to pleasuring them in return. The possessive, prideful part of him that is usually buried very much prefers making his partner feel good on his own, without toys to help, but most of the time, he doesn’t mind.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

The first time he teases his partner, it’s entirely accidental, his habit of going slow and taking his time exploring their body ends up making him tease them. Once he sees the way it makes them feel, though, he starts doing it on purpose, wanting to see more of their reactions. He’ll relent, with a smug little smile on his face, if they start begging, but until then, he plays the innocent card, pretending not to realise what he’s doing.

As much as he likes to dish it out, Simeon really can’t take much teasing. He’s so sensitive and desperate that he’ll start begging immediately, willing to do anything just to feel more of their touch.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Simeon is naturally very loud and he lets out the prettiest sounds. At first, he tries to muffle them and keep his volume down. He talks quite a bit, at least while he’s still able to form coherent thoughts, and loves to whisper sweet things to his partner in a breathy tone. The closer he gets to cumming, the more his words devolve into delicate gasps and high pitched moans. When he cums, he lets out the longest, breathiest whine that no amount of gritting his teeth or covering his mouth could smother. He’s very vocal throughout, and without some sort of soundproofing, his voice can very much be heard through the walls.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Simeon has a hard time controlling his wings during sex. He can’t focus hard enough to keep them hidden and they tend to have a mind of their own, fluttering and puffing up depending on how he feels. They’re quite sensitive in the moment too, especially at the base. In the end, he finds himself wrapping his wings around his partner as he pulls them close, keeping them warm and safe under his feathers. Unfortunately, this usually means that the bed is covered in feathers from all his flapping and wiggling.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Simeon has such a pretty cock, so perfectly smooth that it almost looks like a drawing rather than an actual dick. He’s large enough to be impressive without seeming intimidating, with just enough girth to feel like a stretch, but not be painful. It’ll still take some prep for his partner to take him, but it won’t be too difficult with some patience and plenty of lube.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Simeon’s libido isn’t very high at all, and sex isn’t something that’s on his mind constantly. What matters to him most is spending quality time with his partner, regardless of what they’re doing together. They usually need to be the one to actually initiate things, since he has no qualms with pushing down his need to avoid ruining the moment. With how much he values physical touch, it’s not hard for cuddles to become something more, and as long as there’s time for it, Simeon will never say no.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Sex doesn’t exactly leave him feeling sleepy, but it does make him feel extraordinarily relaxed. He tends to follow his partner’s lead, staying awake longer if they don’t plan to sleep right away. With how warm and soft he feels, though, he has no trouble falling asleep quickly, cuddling them close to his chest to absorb more of their body heat. If it’s up to him, he prefers to share some casual pillow talk together, before falling asleep soon after. If he can avoid having to get up and be functional, he will.

Shadow Young: The Ultimate Heylin Warrior

So I was rereading some old theories about Shadow, and I realized that I completely overlooked such a blatant coincidence!

The Yin-Yang Paradigm | Parallels between the Goddess Jiu Tian Xuan Nu and Shadow

The Yin-Yang Paradigm can take a backseat. It's an interesting read, but the only part we need is the line from the Xiaolin Chronicles Special Edition Preface.

In ancient China,the great Xiaolin Master Dashi unlocked the secrets to supreme martial arts powers.  He became a Xiaolin Dragon–a force of light–defender of good.

Where there is yang, there must be yin.  The evil witch Wuya stole Dashi’s secrets and molded herself into the embodiment of darkness–the Heylin Dragon.

Why is assigning Wuya, the original Heylin Dragon Warrior, as an embodiment of yin energy important? Because the Chinese Goddess, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, is also known as "The Ultimate Yin." Shadow shares almost all her aspects with this deity. This means that Shadow was (or is?) destined to become The Ultimate Heylin Warrior.

What does that even mean? [Spoilers under the cut]

Dashi was the first Xiaolin Dragon Warrior. Wuya stole his techniques and molded herself into a Heylin Dragon. At the end of XC it is stated that Chase ascends to the level of a Heylin Dragon, quite literally.

While Wuya doesn't possess the same literal transformation that Chase has associated with the title of "Dragon," it still bears mentioning that both achieved this level of skill.

How Xiaolin Dragon Warriors--warriors of light--differ from Heylin Dragon Warriors--warriors of darkness--is that Xiaolin Warriors ascend to the level of Dragon when they successfully ride and pair with an actual dragon.

Chase was never able to do this, and he despised his fellow Monks (and brother) for moving on without him. In addition, as part of being a Xiaolin Dragon Warrior, one must give up part of their unique abilities and channel them into a mystical item for future generations of Xiaolin Warriors to use--these are the Shen Gong Wu. Chase had worked so hard for what little power he had, that he didn't think it was right for him to suddenly give it up for the sake of posterity.

While not much is known about Wuya, we do know that she craved power. Before Dashi defeated her in the first Xiaolin Showdown, she might have been well on her way to taking power from the whole world. It's purposefully left ambiguous and we are never truly meant to know. What is certain is that Wuya definitely could have done all, or possibly more, than Chase did in this Heylin Dragon Form.

So how does all this yin and yang relate back to Shadow?

As stated in the title of this post, I believe Shadow was destined to become the Ultimate Yin. In this context of "Xiao-yang" and "Hey-yin," this means that Shadow is slated to become the Ultimate Heylin Warrior. But Jiu Tian Xuan Nu is very much a positive, good, and balancing force in the pantheon. How can an ultimate evil be that too?

Throughout XC Shadow is shown checking and attempting to balance Chase's evil acts. The strongest example of the imbalance within Chase & his brand of Evil and how Shadow reacts to that imbalance can be seen in "Chase Lays an Egg." Not only does Shadow roll her eyes at Chase's gluttony early on, insisting that there are better (and more Evil) things to do, but she also shows extreme disgust over Chase's affection for the Egg. After the Egg is stolen, Chase prompts Shadow to go into the Xiaolin Temple and get back his Egg. Shadow refuses, and Chase darts off to get it himself. Shadow cooks up her own plan to destroy the Egg and revert Chase back to his usual, Evil self. Shadow's whole motivations towards Chase after episode 8, "Out of Ping Pong's Mind," can mostly be summed up as her trying to get him to be the most Evil version of himself. Over time she gets annoyed that he doesn't change and that eventually motivates her in part to leave ("Shadow's Role and Abuse" 2017).

So early on, Shadow already has an ideal of the Evil Chase should be living up to, but isn't. This is likely why Wuya and Shadow quickly and easily bonded--both possess extremely powerful yin energy. It's strange that returning Wuya to a solidly form is all Shadow's idea, but then Shadow seems surprised when her vision leads her back to Wuya an episode later ("Back in the Flesh Again," "Call of the Dragon Spirit"). I think it's only natural that Wuya would want to eliminate Shadow from the competition to be the strongest Heylin force. Wuya might not know that this is even coming, however.

The only real reason Wuya gives to eliminate Shadow at the end of the series is that Wuya saw Shadow as a tool to lead her to Princess Kaila, who Wuya believes was involved with her wrongful imprisonment by Dashi inside the spring inside the puzzle box for over 1500 years. Wuya doesn't need Shadow any more, since Kaila is right in front of her, so Shadow does something a little out of character. She turns around on Wuya and is last shown running for her life with Princess Kaila. It's implied that the two are at least traveling together, but it's unknown if Shadow is protecting Kaila or not. Since Shadow feels a connection to Kaila, I would argue that she is protecting the princess ("Fly the Dragon!").

So if Shadow is supposed to become this Ultimate Heylin force, why is she, presumably, going to be trained by Princess Kaila--a force of good--on how to use her powers? Shadow, Kaila, and Loniani-Nui--a dragon lady shapeshifter, Dragon Partner to Chase's older brother, and Chase's Monkhood crush--all have a yin-yang symbol somewhere on their body. Nui's is on her throat chakra, Kaila's is near her heart chakra, and Shadow's is on her third eye chakra. You can read more about the significance of these placements here.

All you really need to know about the significance of these placements is that the highest chakra--and thus enlightenment--is at the top of the head. Shadow, having her yin-yang on her third eye is the one closest to reaching that enlightenment of these three women. Xiaolin is based on Shaolin Buddhism, the main goal of the religion is to attain enlightenment. Since Dragon Warriors are able to fuse and link with their dragon partners, they definitely get very close to entering the state of nirvana. Or since it's a nonsensical kid's show, it might be better described as "an empowered, altered state of being one with the world and its' knowledge." There's not enough to go on at this point unfortunately.

To back up Shadow being secretly super powerful, @p-r-imeday had an exchange with series creator, Christy Hui, on instagram where Hui casually revealed that she just likes characters with really "big hair." Which explains a lot of the design choices in XC. The Heylin characters with the longest hair are Shadow, then Wuya, and then Chase. Chase even gets slightly longer hair when he goes super size and absorbs all the chi he possibly can. Wuya's hair is still slightly longer due to the tight curl at the end.

So Shadow already has some construct of what Evil is supposed to be in her mind, and she is willing to reinforce that ideal. Wuya, the only other major embodiment of yin, sees Shadow as a threat, albeit by association with Wuya's real target. And Shadow is the closest to enlightenment because of the placement of her yin-yang being so close to the crown chakra, in addition to her having the longest hair in canon, which makes her the most powerful being.

Shadow's role as the Ultimate Heylin Warrior would be to enforce a strict view of Evil onto the Heylin side. While XC did greatly limit the number of visibly active villains, the series as a whole is well known for having a plethora of antagonists who operated in evil areas, but relatively outside the Xiaolin-Heylin conflict. Shadow would essentially be out there saying, "Hey, if you're going to use that Wu you gotta fight the Xiaolin Order. Or Else." She would also be required to show up to fight Evils that don't fit her strict interpretation of what "Evil" is, thus aiding the side of good.

I describe it best here, in that the best way to paint the world grey is to start with pure white and pure black, and constantly have them mixing with each other. Because at the end of the day, the world Dashi has created through his actions is one in which very few dots of black are allowed to exist, while the Xiaolin Order stands blinding in its' light.

Without Shadow forcing people who want to use Wu to enter the fray, XC leaves us with Jack, Wuya, and... Tiny Sim? Sim isn't interested in Wu at all, and Jack was only in it due to Wuya (Salvadore serves Wuya, so I'm not mentioning him in this list). The Xiaolin Order has five Monks being trained to become Dragon Warriors. It's grossly imbalanced. Shadow is needed to correct that balance. And thus, a proper, balanced world order would be achieved.

TL;DR:

Shadow is the most powerful being in all of XC because she has really long hair.

P.S: I'm Mated With The Cursed Alpha!

Chapter Five

Hey guy! Don’t forget to Like, Comment, Review, and Follow for more updates! My apologies in advance for all the grammatical errors. Book will be professionally edited when completed.

The stars were shining so bright and beautiful across the majestic night sky. It was the perfect night, soiled it by such a terrible situation.

I stood still in his firm hold, not wanting to pull myself away to cause me more pain than I already was in.

Seven years...he waited seven years? For what?

I trembled like a helpless prey, with tears wetting my face as I held onto my hair.

“P-plea-se...” I grunted, sniffing my teary, runny nose as he growled possessively, pulling me closer. “I-I beg you... If it’s anything you want...you can get access from my mother.”

“I don’t need access to what’s already mines.” He said sternly, with so much testosterone raging through him.

“What’s his?” Sarah said confusedly to me through our mind link. “What could he possibly be referring to?”

“Sia, you do know you’ve trespassed?” An older, more mature voice said to him, but with the position he has me in, I couldn’t see who it was.

There was a long pause between them until the silence was broken by a sharp gasp.

“Sia...could it be?” The man added shockingly. “Are you sure?”

“As deep as my cursed marks are on my body... I know I’m sure!” He replied.

Instantly, my chest rose and fall as I started to hyperventilate and panic. What on earth were they referring to? What was he so sure about? It was driving me crazy!

The guards finally arrive on the scene with a few reinforcements.

They step back slightly in complete shock of what was taking place and stared terrifyingly at the strange man.

“Lady Joel...” Kylo, the second head guard in command said to me in a sorrowful tone. Brave enough like he always was, he took a few steps towards me.“Everything’s going to be alright... Everyone let’s calm down...take it easy.”

He stopped dead in his tracks when a vicious growl rippled his way.

His grip got, even more, tighter and I whimpered aloud.

“Owww!” I cried aloud, taking uneasy breaths. “I-It hurts! H-he’s hurting me, Kylo.”

He looked at me, so eager to come to my rescue, like the brave warrior wolf he was, but for the first time, Kylo was hesitant and it somewhat petrified me.

This man...whoever he is, was definitely someone not to be reckoned with.

Though I couldn’t see his face, I could tell by Kylo and the other guard’s frightening expression, he was giving them the most sinister, bloodthirsty death stare.

“N-not to worry, Lady Joel, you’re Mom is on her way as fast as she can.” Shelia, the female guard said nervously.

As soon as Mom was mentioned, I wanted to just drop dead on sight. I know I had it coming for me, especially being seen in such an embarrassing situation.

“Don’t worry, Jo-ey,” Sarah said facing me with her eyes glancing between me and his devouring, glowing green eyes through the boarders. “I’m right here beside you... everything will be ok.”

“S-Sarah...h-he won’t let go...” I said to her terrifyingly through our mind link with so many mixed emotions running through me.

“I know...” She replied glancing up at him, “Jo’, he hasn’t taken his eyes off you yet...I think it’s deeper than it seems.”

“What else could it possibly be, Sarah!” I panicked, on the brink of losing my composure. “I want to get out of his hold! It’s freaking killing me!”

A low growl rippled through his lips as he stared between us. It was like he knew we were talking ill about him.

He tugged me closer to him, brushing Sarah off slightly. “I said to piss off!” He said, anger and possessiveness lacing his deep, husky voice.

“NO! You big bully!” She exclaimed.

We all were stunned for a moment. Me, the guards, even he hesitated to reply. I didn’t know Sarah had it in her to snapped back at someone so vicious and dangerous as him.

“Why don’t you just leave us the hell alone!” She continued to rant.

“Us?” He stated. I could feel his grip tightening slightly with irritation. “Does it look like I’m bothering you?”

“Yes!” She replied, standing her ground. “You’re hurting my best friend. You mess with her... you mess with me!”

Silence took over the atmosphere. Nothing but the calm breeze rattling the leaves on the trees were heard.

“LET HER GO!” She screamed to the top of her lungs.

“You better step the fuck off, before I jump over this damn border and rip out that ranting little mouth of yours!” He tensed, feeling his body heat radiating down on me.

“Oh yeah, I’d like to see you try!” She replied.

“Ma’am it’s not wise to provoke a hungry black wolf.” The older voice said behind me. “The results could be very detrimental!”

“Shut it, Grandpa!” She snapped.

Instantly Kylo stepped forward and snatched Sarah back before she starts something she definitely couldn’t finish.

“Come now, Sarah.” He said sternly as she fought in his hold. “Calm down, Alpha Denise is making her way as fast as she can.”

“P-plea-se, my head hurts s-so bad,” I gasped quietly enough for him to hear me, “you’re grip is too strong.”

I waited for him to respond, instead, I got nothing but a tense growl and I tighter grip. Until I felt it started to loosen gradually and my hand was taken in his.

I thanked the moon goddess it wasn’t my injured hand.

He released his grip and I eventually stumbled forward feeling a light-headed sensation coming over me.

I turned around my hair in a huge fuzzy mess, staring up at that intense light-green, hooded eyes staring down at me.

“Joel are you ok!” Sarah shouted from behind Kylo and the other guards, guarding her.

“Y-yes...I-I guess...” I said utterly unsure.

I was quite boggled that he actually let go of my hair after I told him how much pain he was causing.

For someone so vicious, so demanding and cruel, he actually complied. Which was so strange. And why is he staring at me like I did something to him?

I haven’t noticed it before, but his lashes were so long, it shaded over his green eyes as they danced wildly in the moonlight. He had a full head of long, straight hair. It was black as the night sky and so silky, blowing gently crossed his face perfect structured face.

I couldn’t believe I was actually thinking this way towards him...but he was so handsome and masculine. My eyes glanced over his full lips. His cupid’s bow was so defined, curving almost perfectly.

Then there was his board, muscular torso with a deep claw mark above his right breast.

He was the perfect man every girl dreamt of having...every girl except for me--I convinced myself-- I have Jackson. He’s the only man I’ve ever dreamt about and will be the only man as well.

I stared at his large hand clutched almost too easily around my small wrist. I definitely couldn’t escape from him.

Though I was headstrong and positive, I couldn’t help but—

He sucked his bottom lip, wetting it, and swallowed loudly. I watched in slow motion as his sharp Adam’s apple grazed up and down his throat.

I was so close...so close to—

A deep, lascivious growl emerged from his throat and I clenched... HARD! My core was pulsing like wildfire and I couldn’t control the sensation.

All I could of do was hold my head down in shame and just let nature take its course. I didn’t like it one bit, but when a man like that looks the way he does and is staring down at you like fresh meat, one could let it happen.

If Jackson knows I’m aroused for another man and other than him... I would be so broken and devasted.

I break for a moment and looked up in his face and for the first time for the night, his face had turned all soft. His muscles weren’t as tensed like it was a few minutes ago and his grasped on my wrist has loosened slightly, but his eyes...those eyes were still intense as they travel over every inch of my face.

If I was a weak-minded girl, I would have definitely fallen for such a dreamy face, despite how he treated me and Sarah...

BUT THIS WAS WRONG!

His face immediately tensed back up and his grip tightened as I tried to fight and pull away from him again.

I felt so disgusted just thinking about it, I couldn’t help wanting to free myself out of his hold and run somewhere and cry for everything that transpired tonight. And yet more is still to come.

He growled, tugging my arm, pulling my body onto the border. “Stop fighting me!” He said sternly. His tone of voice was mixed with anger and hurt from my rejection.

What was wrong with the guy. Why was he like this? One second he’s the calmest, gentlest thing and with just one wrong move he snaps into a raging bull.

In the distance heading towards us was mom’s white wolf came running towards us and her beta, Jimmy carrying someone on his back. It was Jiraya. The wisest man in the land.

As she stepped on the scene, the only person she had her eyes on was me. If disappointment, rage, and embarrassment were a person it would be her, without a doubt.

She shifted into her human and stood next to Kylo, asking him all that taken place. I could feel her staring. They were so strong and daunting, and there was no way of escaping.

I just wanted the moon goddess to take me out of my misery. This was too much a small, inexperienced teenage wolf like me could handle, but yet again, this was all my fault.

After Kylo had given her his report, she strutted over towards us...and got right down to business, not caring to ask how I feel or if I was alright.

But I knew her too well. When she’s like that, I know she was furious and would explode on me on sight for my negligence and disobedience, but as the perfectionist she was, she wouldn’t let it happen.

“Darius, the cursed Alpha.” She said to him calmly, slying her eyes at me.“We’ve yet again crossed paths and somehow, you have my rebellious daughter confined.”

The older voice I heard earlier reappeared as an older, slim build man with grey hair and a subtle ball plate, stepped from behind him.

“I speak to him.” He said. “I am Sethi. The uncle of Alpha Darius’s and also his close advisor.”

Mom looked between them than at me, raising a sharp, you’re-going-to-get-it-later, brow at me.

“I’m sure you do know the treaty of the land, stating the consequences of crossing other’s territory.” Mom said, and for a split second, a sigh of relief came over me. “You’re on my turf, restraining my daughter!”

“We never said we do not know the treaty of the land and the treason if broken.” Old man Sethi said. “But, the treaty also informs us that if one’s property is on foreign soil, he or she has their rights to overstep any boundaries to retrieve what’s rightfully theirs.”

What’s rightfully theirs? What the hell does Mom have that he wants so badly? And I’m the one who’s stuck between all this mess!

Again, there was this awkward silence and I could feel my heart beating out of my chest waiting for Mom to respond.

Come on Mom...say something!

“Perhaps we can settle this in a more private matter,” Mom said. “If it’s land, money, or cattle... I would be obliged to reconsider.”

“What the hell do you take me for?” Alpha Darius said growling lowly. “I don’t want your Land, Money, or Cattle! I’ve got mines in abundance!”

“Than what is it you want?” Mom asked confusedly.

He glanced down and me, eyes hard. I looked around at his pack as their eyes glowed vibrantly in the shadowy background.

I could feel his grip tightening on my wrist as Sethi speak out.

“I’m thrill to inform you, Alpha Darius has finally reached a milestone in his life,” Sethi said as a small smirk curled on his wrinkled face.

Milestone? W-what milestone?!

“And what do me, my pack, and my daughter has to do with that?” Mom asked, placing her feet firmly on the ground.

“It has a lot to do with it, but most importantly, your daughter,” Sethi replied.

“M-me?” I said taking deep breaths. “I don’t know what he’s talking about, Mom! I swear! I-I SWEAR!”

My lungs felt like it was going to burst as I breathed in and out sharply. There were so many mixed signals getting thrown about and still, I remained clueless.

Mom sigh. A frail look of disappointment and disbelief came over her face.

“Spill it!” She said, refusing to look me in the face.

“Spill what! I shouted trying to pull out of his grip. “Spill what Mom?”

“Miss Joel,” Sethi said, wishing that I never asked. “You’re the Alpha’s prize mated.”

I felt my breath and my consciousness gradually leaving my body. This wasn’t real! This has to be a joke! Please! Please tell me this is a horrible dream.

My body started to shake out of my control as my eyes glance up at him.

The thrill was all over his face and his eyes danced with excitement, smiling menacingly down at me.

Mate! I’m his... Mate?

“Yes...you belong to me...” He seethed. “Every bit of you, flaws and all, is mine... You’re all mine!”

Echoy'la (Lost)

Okay everyone! I finished this one quick, might have pulled an all nighter, and it's a sort of... 'before the storm' kinda of chapter. Adds a bit more before the next one (which will be big) so hope you don't mind =P

Now then, as I said, this one is kinda short (compared to the others) but it's supposed to be that way so... Read, review and enjoy~

Chapter 7 Tegaanalir (Rescue)

"Commander Tano," she was startled slightly by the sudden call of her name.

"Yes?" she turned around, strapping her lightsabers to her side. She relaxed, seeing it was only Tup – but he seemed far from it.

"…Is it true? A Sith is there as well?" she saw his jaw tighten a bit and her eyes dropped. She had almost forgotten Tup was a rookie when the Umbara Incident happened, where he met his firth Sith – even if Krell wasn't one officially one, he was still considered to be such.

"Yes, but don't worry," she tried to assure him. "My Master and I will deal with him. The rest of you need to find our boys."

"…Understood," she saw him trying to suppress the relief, but the Force around him spoke otherwise. She reached up, gently touching his forearm.

"Focus on your brothers Tup… I – We're leaving them in your care…"

"They're your brothers as well, Ahsoka."

He kept walking, even if he had to lean on the walls. Everything was still dizzy, still murky and he couldn't hear the screaming anymore. He's dead…

The thought alone forced him to move faster, quicker. No. No, he can't be. He can't be! He stumbled forward but managed to catch himself in time and moved again.

Save… Need to save… The other voice was silent now and he found himself a bit lost. Where was he going? This place… looked like the Star Cruiser. It felt off – he had the whole place memorized but there were halls where there shouldn't be ones.

It's another trick. The voice whispered, but it sounded distant. He shook it off – from the corner of his eye, he spotted an open door. That way. It spoke again, before seeming to vanish. He gritted his teeth and forced his legs to move, and as he did, the fog started to clear little by little. And then he saw him…

"REX!" he was beyond happy to see him, but horror wrapped around his heart as he saw the condition ori'vod was in.

No, no, nononono! He can't be- He can't be-! He stumbled forward at first, moving too quickly and almost falling, but that didn't stop him from running to the Captain.

"Rex? Rex! Can you hear me?" he panicked, checking the man for a pulse. "Ori'vod, wake up!" he shook as he dared to look away to find the controls for the straps.

He hadn't realized he fell asleep. At least, until he heard a distant shout of his name.

"Who… who's calling me? What… do you need me to do?" His mind was swimming, lost at the moment, before feeling someone reaching for his head, his neck. Attack. Someone's trying to kill- Two fingers on his throat. Pulse. They're checking for a pulse…

"Rex? Rex! Can you hear me?" he knew that voice but… he's never heard it so scared. So panicked. He wanted to answer, but couldn't seem to find the words.

"Ori'vod, wake up!" he grunted and opened his eyes just before feeling the straps around his body release. He would have smacked dead into the ground, had someone not grabbed him and held him steady.

"Please, wake up…" he was pleading now, gently lowering him onto the ground but still keeping a hold on him.

"Fives…" he managed, even if weakly. "I'm here…" things were starting to clear and he frowned as a massive headache started in his head.

"Rex!" the ARC Trooper smiled, pulling the blonde into a tight hug. "You're alive!" he buried his head in the Captain's shoulder. "I thought they killed everyone by now…"

"Fives, Fives, it's alright… I'm alright…" Rex carefully hugged the younger brother back. "And the others are here too. Trapped. But here," he said softly, feeling his brother pull away.

"But – But they told me they killed everyone…" Fives looked confused and lost as he sat back on his knees.

"They lied… They've been lying this whole time…" Rex closed his eyes, recalling what had happened a bit before. He finally saw the truth… "C'mon, we need to free the others," the Captain stood up, offering a hand. "And then we need to get back. To warn everyone."

He was curled up in the corner, hands on his head, trying to stop the screams. So many dead, so many he couldn't save, so many lost, so many-

"Kix…" he felt a hand on his shoulder and winced. He's been getting lost in the horrible memories, but Jesse has been gently bringing him back.

"Sorry…" he mumbled, unwrapping his arms around his knees.

"Umbara again?" he could only nod as the ARC Trooper ran a hand over his head.

"…You never talk about it…" Cinder spoke up, sitting a few paces away from the medic. "…I never knew it was this horrible…" the images he was forced to see made him throw up.

"…We didn't want anyone else to know…" Jesse said, resting a hand on the youngest shoulder. "I'm… sorry they forced you to see our memories of it…"

"It always makes me sick, remembering how many we lost… " Kix mumbled again, looking at a scratch on the metal. "And now… Who knows how many more we lost… Just because they refused to act," he looked at his brothers, seeing their grief-ridden faces.

And then, the cell door opened, two figures standing there, the light of the hall casting them in shadows. Jesse instinctively stepped forward again, hands outstretched to protect his brothers. Kix was in ready position to jump if anyone attacked and Cinder moved closer to the both of them.

"Jesse, Kix, Cinder… You're all alive!" the voice called and they found themselves frozen in shock.

"I told you they were," that one made Jesse drop to his knees, Kix tremble because he didn't want to believe it just yet and Cinder needed to remember to breath.

"C'mon boys, let's get out of here," Rex and Fives stepped further in, giving small smiles and extending their arms.

"We never thought… we'd see you again," Kix actually spoke, seeing Jesse was in too much shock to even stand on his own.

"Same here vod… But everything will be alight now," Fives kneeled down to him, offering a hand which the medic quickly took.

"B-But, the ones who locked us up. They're-!" Cinder struggled with his words, but he didn't need to finish.

"We know… We know everything…" the Captain had a hard look in his eyes. "They're going to pay for it, trust me. They can't lie anymore…"

"The pets are still trying to sneak around. But at least they're being obedient," Grievous said as he watched the clones on the monitor. They were walking slowly and carefully, checking the halls and corridors.

"It's only natural. They believe they are escaping from the Jedi," Dooku had a smirk on his face as he looked at them.

"Um, sir?" a droid spoke up, turning in his chair.

"What is it?" the General growled, eyes narrowing.

"We have a ship entering our space."

"We did not request any supplies," this had the Count's attention.

"It's not one of ours, sir," the two leaders shared a quick look. "It's a Republic ship."

"Skywalker?!" they hissed in disbelieve and shock. "Surely he is not this mad!"

"I told you, Count!" Grievous was already leaving, likely heading for his own ship.

"This changes things…" Dooku put a hand on his beard. "However, I can work with it."

"And how would you do that?" the General stopped in front of the door.

"We will simply kill Skywalker. The clones will have their revenge sooner than they thought," he turned around, facing the cyborg. "But I shall require something from you, General."

He was walking right behind Rex, covering for Kix and Cinder, while Fives had their backs. They were going to make it… They were going to get out of this place and back home. He was just about to move, when the Captain put his arm out, stopping him.

"What is it?" he whispered, fear slowly creeping into his body. Behind him, the others stopped as well, waiting for an explanation.

"…We need to go back…" Rex sounded so distant, Jesse wasn't sure if he heard him right.

"What? Why? I thought we were escaping!" Fives was letting his anxious feelings show, looking over his shoulder for any enemies.

"Can't you hear it?" the blonde asked them, looking confused.

"Hear what?" Jesse asked before seeing Fives going slack.

"…Y-Yeah… I do," his eyes were distant for a few moments before focusing on them.

"I hear it…" Cinder nodded, blinking to regain himself.

"Kix?" Jesse asked, looking at the medic whose worry was written all over his face.

"I don't… I think," came his reply.

Just as Jesse was about to speak, he heard someone whisper. He didn't understand it at first, but after a few moments, the words became clear.

"Return to the bridge… The Jedi have called in reinforcements… I can help you," he was vaguely aware of Kix calling his name, before he too fell silent.

"Understand now?" Rex asked, waiting patiently for them.

"Yeah… We need to move," he nodded, shaking his head to regain his senses.

"And fast…" the medic's eyes went past the Captain, checking the hall.

"Ship in our sights sir," Jewels called, keeping the ship steady.

"Good. Get us in nice and easy…" Anakin had his hand on the seat, standing behind the pilot.

"…No one's attacking?" Cody's voice was laced with suspicion, arms crossed.

"Maybe they haven't noticed us?" Ahsoka frowned, not liking this.

"Doubtful…" Appo muttered next to her.

"If we know it's a trap, we'll be ready for them," Boil cracked his knuckles, ready to fight.

"How many do you think there are?" Tup suppressed a shudder at the number he imagined.

"R2, can you do a scan?" Skywalker turned to the droid, who beeped in return, poking an antenna out of his head. After a few seconds, he gave another answer.

"Six life forms and a couple of droids…" Ahsoka mused. She looked back at the ship, seeing it wasn't really that big, so there couldn't be more than maybe twenty of thirty droids. That, they could handle.

"…How many did you say were taken?" Anakin had a worried expression on his face.

"Six, sir," Tup spoke up before anyone else.

"…There are six people on board, and one of them is defiantly Dooku…" he didn't need to explain that for them to understand. The expression the brothers shared spoke for itself.

As they docked the ship, everyone was prepared for a fight. But there was no one. Not a single droid was present in the hanger bay.

"Jewels, stay with the ship. Who knows what kind of exit we'll need," Cody ordered as he stood on the ramp, waiting for the others to disembark.

"…Bring 'em home, okay?" Jewels looked at his brothers, eyes low.

"We will," Cody assured and set a hand on his shoulder.

"How do we find them now?" Tup asked, gripping the carbine tight.

"…Dooku is on the bridge…" Anakin said carefully, narrowing his eyes. "He's not even trying to hide his Force signature."

"He wants us to come to him," Ahsoka straightened her back, looking at him.

"Yeah, he does… But we're not here for him," the General let a frown show.

"The ship is too big to search randomly. Who knows where any clankers are hiding," Boil pointed out, checking the doors.

"If we can get the information from Dooku, it'd make looking for them much easier," Appo added, eyes scanning the place.

"If nothing else, the log in the bridge will help us. It's better than running around blind," Cody nodded, standing in front of the General.

"Fair enough. Everyone, get ready. We don't know what's waiting for us out there."

Cut! Right, next one is gonna be a blast! I got it planned out, just need to write it fully down and then polish it. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing Oh, since I forgot to mention it before... "Ori'vod" is Mando'a for "Big brother" which I figure Fives sees Rex as (along with pretty much the rest of the 501st) so being as worried and scared (plus drugged) as he is, he'd call him that. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed this little bit and stick around for the next one! Fancy reviewing? Sweet! I love it when you do that! =D Till next time~
