#TRCH: Elidi

A “Chance” Meeting (Meghan&&Elidi)

It was somewhat hard to get information in Tabula Rasa without appearing like a total creep who was up to no good. Or at least, that’s how it felt to Meghan. She couldn’t really run around explaining her situation to everyone she met, so trying to pass off all of her questions as mere curiosity had been... troublesome at best, and impossible at worst. However, with enough casual banter she’d managed to confirm the identity of at least one witch who lived within the city. After learning the location of where she worked, Meghan had spent a couple of days just following from a distance and scoping the woman out. It seemed like this witch, Elidi, was at the very least friendly with some of the other players in the city. So hopefully this meant Meghan would have an easier time getting some information out of her. At the very least, it was worth a try.

 Today was one of the days where she noticed Elidi would be more liable to take some time off and relax somewhere. Meghan decided this was the opportunity to introduce herself and try to get acquainted. She didn’t want to approach someone who was at work or on the way to a meeting. In those scenarios, the wraith was likely to be pushed off for the task at hand. And stalking someone to their home was definitely not a good way to get a productive conversation from someone she’d never met. That would be a last resort, as Tamryn had show immense displeasure at Meghan’s surprise visits. She suspected others would take it just as poorly unless a very friendly rapport was built up first.

 Floating over to only a few feet away from the similarly raven-haired woman, Meghan made herself fully visible, suddenly coming into existence for the other to see. A park bench was where Elidi was seated, and it seemed like a lovely place for a potential conversation.

 “Hello. I hope I’m not disturbing you. I heard that you might be a witch, and I’ve been looking for one for a little while now.”

 She had a friendly smile on her face, hoping to start the conversation off on the right foot.

As the daylight broke through the partially open doors of the Alpha’s balcony the rays of the sun caught her line of sight and caused her to stir somewhat, only to shield her face in the curve of Elidi’s neck. It was then that she inhaled the witch’s natural rain like scent and she woke up a bit more. Opening her eyes slowly as she pulled back carefully to not wake her newfound lover. Thinking over the night before she smiled softly to herself as she watched how Elidi slept by her side. She also glanced down to see how they remained in each other’s arms throughout the time they had slept.

 Tamryn arched a brow and thought fondly about how comfortable she naturally was in that moment before she rested her head back onto Elidi’s chest. Again hearing the sound of her steady heart beat the she wolf tightened her hold around the dark haired woman carefully as she closed her eyes and listened to the sound, almost as if to familiarize herself with the sound entirely. She laid there for a moment in the silence letting only the sound of Elidi’s resting heart rate fill her thoughts. It was almost intriguing to the she wolf how something as simple as the sound of the woman in her arm’s heart beat seemed to even captivated her mind, body and soul.

 After some time of just enjoying being close to the witch the she wolf lifted her head once more and leaned forward, placing soft kisses along the other’s shoulder and neck before nuzzling almost wolf like under her jawline with the bridge of her nose, letting out a soft yet playful whimper of affection the Alpha spoke softly,

“Réveille-toi chérie, je pourrais te regarder dormir toute la journée mais je suis sûr que tu ne voudrais pas ça. Wake up darling, I could watch you sleep all day but I'm sure you wouldn't want that.”

Tamryn’s suggestions perked Elidi up, causing the witch to straighten her posture, arms carefully retracting from their embrace around the redhead. “I want to do all of that.” Though there was one suggestion in particular that had caused her to wrinkle her nose, “Well… I don’t want you to go into the water drunk, that leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It’ll just be me and you, Red.” Her unoccupied hands moved to cup Tamryn’s face, lips dropping to kiss the tip of her nose faintly. “I would love to come back tonight with you though and star gaze, mi amor. The current is stronger at night, even if I can manipulate it some, I wouldn’t dare risk swimming for anything, nor would I want to scare you. Our best bet to swim would be during the day.” Digits idly fiddled with the strap of Tamryn’s bathing suit, a grin quirking her lips, even this material was designer and it seemed like nothing less than Tamryn, completely fitting. Meanwhile Elidi had selected one solely on the color, determined to soak up as much of the sun’s rays as possible. Maybe she should’ve put sunblock on…

Blue eyes turned toward the water, the waves beckoning her, though she knew she could return at another time. Her eyes shut briefly, taking in the ambient sounds of the beach, a soft sigh departing from her lips. After a quiet moment Elidi turns to Tamryn, helping the redhead up as she stood. “Let’s go, we can come back tonight.”

Although excited to do something new with Tamryn, her lids fell halfway, not as enthused to haul all the items up again. Regardless she packs everything back up, aside from the endless sand, it wasn’t all that tedious of a task. Before grabbing the ice chest she pops open the lid, set on having a quick snack before they leave, her gaze drawn to the bottle of wine she had set inside. An idea crosses her mind, a faint smile curling her lips as she slams the lids shut, picking the container up. “Okay I’m ready!”

Soon enough they are back inside their room, and despite the shower station they had outside, Elidi still found herself covered in gritty sand. An unfavorable sensation. Although they could shower together, that would ruin her plan, and she found herself uttering a lame excuse to shower first, taking a much shorter bath than she usually would. She didn’t want Tamryn to sit too long in the sand anyways. Emerging from the bathroom, towel drying her hair she wore a black tank top and shorts, stepping aside so Tamryn could enter. Lips press sweetly to the Alpha’s cheek, an apology uttered for stepping in first, “Take your time, Red, they have an assortment of goodies in there, lots of bath stuff.” Elidi nodded her head, lips pursing, she had been tempted to try some herself.

Upon hearing the running water, she makes a quick yet quiet retreat from their room. Unsure of how long Tamryn would actually take, her pace is brisk as she hurries her way to the hotel shop. By some miracle they actually have what she needs, roses! A bouquet is quickly selected. Though her selection in candles is quite slim, bright hues flickering over her options with a furrowed brow. A worker is kind enough to help her, hurriedly at that as Elidi summarizes her situation. At the check out she stares at an aray of chocolates, shrugging her shoulders as she tossed a few into her pile. Did Tamryn like chocolate? Eh. Who didn’t?

Bag in hand she hummed contently, feeling like she made pretty good time with her purchases. Opening the door, her eyes drift toward the shut bathroom door. In hushed tones she begins her work, muttering an apology to the flowers as she carefully ripped the petals free. The majority of the red petals stayed on the bed, a small trail left from the bathroom. Elidi stills as she hears the water shutting off, scrambling to the few candles she bought, setting them around the room before lighting them, where she may or may not have struggled with the lighter. The chocolates are set onto the pillows, more so tossed and she nearly trips over the mattress as she fetches the bottle of wine, “Fuck!” Nestling the bottle against the pillows she rubbed at her knee, glaring at the edge of the bed with a huff. Reaching for the remote she sets it on the bed, happy with her rushed display, and although not as perfect as she’d like it to be, it was cute to her none the less.

At the sound of the door opening she turned quickly, standing to face her lover, a grin on her lips and slightly out of breath, though desperately tried to feign some form of calm. “A surprise!”

Upon hearing that Elidi too wanted to do all of the above she smiled softly and sat up, resting back onto her palms still in Elidi’s lap as she watched her lover with deep affection while she spoke.A subtle look of sarcasm came over Tamryn’s face when Elidi said she didn’t want her gong into the waters drunk. With a slight eye roll she leaned in closer and kissed her lover’s jawline reassuringly,

 “I didn’t exactly mean like getting in the water, but being around it more so Mon amour. Though I didn’t think of the water being stronger at night, however I still want to come back down here with you tonight. Even if we just drink on the beach and watch the waves under the moonlight. Then tomorrow morning we will come right to the waters and swim, together.”

  The alpha’s bright blue eyes dropped down to Elidi’s fingers as they played with the strap of her bathing suit. It was those simple touches of affection that melted the she wolf’s heart entirely.Taking a moment she noted how Elidi seemed to linger her gaze onto the waters. Looking at her then towards the shoreline she spoke softly once more,

 “We can stay here for as long as you want to love, there is no rush.”

 Taking Elidi’s hand as she stood she dusted off as much of the sand as she could. As the walked back to the canopy she arched her brow looking at all their things before glancing to the dark haired woman,

 “I can help you, I mean I am supernaturally strong love, though I know you wont let me. I am just saying that I will.”

 Granted she offered, Tamryn was not about to try and force the matter. She knew that Elidi preferred being the more chivalrous one in the relationship. It wasn't more so that she was more dominant or masculine, for they both were fairly feminine when it came down to it. However Tamryn was extremely drawn to the fact that Elidi provided for her in ways others tried yet failed at. With the witch it was almost entirely attractive how she took the lead. Tamryn watched with admiration and interest as Elidi took a snack break. It was adorable, her affinity to food.

 Letting her love take as long as her needed the red head was content just taking in how her lover looked upon the sands in the shade of the canopy. How her skin tone was complimented by the bathing suit she wore. it was undeniable that the more Tamryn allowed herself these moments the more she couldn’t help but fall even harder for the witch she had come to know and adore with her entire being.

 After some time she let her graze fall back towards the waters, finding it almost ironic that something seeming once so traumatic had turned into a day of complete bliss. The Alpha smiled to herself yet was pulled back to the moment once her lover stated that she was ready to go. Upon entering the room she stepped in and moved out of the way so Elidi could set the stuff down as soon as possible. Rather than pressing the matter Tamryn was willing to let Elidi shower alone first.

 Waiting as she sat out on the balcony she heard the water starting to drain and  entered the room once more to see her beauty exiting the bathroom. Naturally she moved past her to enter herself and hurry along the process so that they could be back in one another’s arms. Feeling the kiss upon her cheek she paused mid step to catch Elidi by her neck softly and return the kiss to her lips carefully, perking up at the mention of unnecessary goodies she could use, Tamryn was vain by all means and loved the idea of random things to pamper herself with. Distracted now by the idea she smiled to her love and quickly pressed her forehead to her lover’s fondly before entering the bathroom and shutting the door.

 Taking longer than usually in order to mess with all the things the hotel provide them with for spending so much money there she had almost forgotten about the plans they had made for the evening. Washing up fully and finally shutting off the water she stepped out and dried off. Dressing in a loose fitting tank top and designer styled girls briefs she exited the bathroom drying off her hair before dropping the towel as she stood in shock.

 Her jaw was unhinged as she eyed the room seeing the effort Elidi suddenly went through unexpectedly. Her eyes seemed to glisten as she was at a loss for words and breath. The she wolf looked to her partner as she spoke, her jaw still partially slack as she could not seem to speak. The red head took it all in from the trail leading to the bed to the chocolate and the wine. Not missing a single detail she looked to Elidi before moving to her swiftly in one or two strides, wrapping her arms around her lover she kissed her lips deeply in gratitude and pulled away only to look over to the bed with her arms around her lover’s neck tightly to show her appreciation for the romantic gesture,

 “Eli this is beautiful, and so romantic, how did you even set all of this up in such a short amount of time? Not that it matter its so thoughtful and romantic. I love you, and had I known that saying such words would have unleashed this romantic side of you I would have said it before you, and a lot sooner.”

 Looking back into her lovers gorgeous eyes she kissed her once more before breaking the kiss reluctantly only to turn them so she could drop down onto the bed while pulling her love on top of her. She smiled deviously before moving back onto the bed and pulling Elidi with her. Rotating so she pinned Elidi down to the pillow, making sure to avoid the chocolates as she snuggled up to her side. Reaching over for the remote she offered it to Elidi as she rested her head upon her chest per usual, she didn't mind that they seemed to lay upon the roses.

 “Pick the movie, while I open the wine, Mon amour.”

  Kissing the underside of Elidi’s jaw she sat up and grabbed the bottle of wine she had moved before pulling Elidi to the pillows. Using her claw to open the bottle she pour them both a glass as she was more than happy to let Elidi pick their movie to watch. Offering her lover a glass she leaned back against the head board as took a sip as she watched the screen scroll while her love made a decision.

 “Whatever you want to watch my love, the choice is yours I am happy just being close to you and in your arms really.”

kiki-wiccan​:

She takes a deep breath and tries to calm herself down as she stops in her tracks. She didn’t want to be upset she was now just panicked trying to wrack her mind for anything maybe she could get another job? She’s have to make sure her double schedule at her main job wouldn’t clash. “I didn’t think it was that bad….I would’ve never done it if I did…and it isn’t fully Elidis magic you know…I made the charms myself using what I already knew and a few things I’ve picked up from Elidi. I did NOT use her in anyway nor would I have. I agree I shouldn’t have used some of what I was taught to make charms to sell and I apologize for that….I never bothered to see if it was illegal I’m…not used to being around….places where magic is….acceptable I don’t know all the rules. I care deeply for Elidi she is one of my dearest friends, I do know she’d probably be upset at me for stooping so low as to sell magic….” her gaze softened and she sighed softly. “Look….here” she reached into her purse pulled out the cash and placed it into Tamryns hand, and then she fumbled around and pulled out the rest of the charms she had created. It wasn’t many around 7 she placed them into the hands of Tamryn. “Keep your money please I’m grateful but I don’t feel right taking it, I’ll find another legal way to make more I’m sorry but I need to go I have work soon” with that being said she turned on her heel and walked off not waiting much for a reply.

Tamryn watched the shorter female with a stern focus in her eyes, she was reading the young girl’s body language rather than paying more so attention to what was being said. Standing slightly taller as the wiccan tried to justify her actions, she scoffed at the remark but chose to not drive the point further, it was clear Kiki knew what she did was wrong, how wrong it was exactly was really only up to Elidi and the laws, however Tamryn only created them, it wasn't her job to enforce all of them.

Tamryn’s  demeanor shifted somewhat as Kiki spoke of not intending to wrong Elidi Tamryn saw and could sense the truth. It caused Tamryn to rethink her approach on the subject and her tension seemed to ease as her strong shoulder seemed to drop slightly. Though per usual she didn’t speak on her inner thoughts she simply let them play out as she observed Kiki reach into her bag and pull out the rest of the charms, naturally Tamryn lifted her palm up to collect the charms however she wasn't intending to get the money. Her brow arched in curiosity as she spoke up finally,

 “I do not want the money, just the charms. Keep the money I have no use for it and you clearly need it.”

 Before Kiki could leave the alleyway Tamryn whistled and instantly two large men blocked the Wiccan’s exit.  Tamryn turned around and approached Kiki once more but handed one of the men the charms to hold as she looked over the wad of cash before deliberately placing it into Kiki’s bag herself,

 “Fine, you want to be stubborn and cling to whatever pride you have left in this moment then so be it, however I have no need for this money so you will keep it. If anything allow me to offer you this advice at least...You have powerful allies within this city Kiki, not all may be by choice however they are there...use these allies when they make themselves available to you young girl, and do not abuse them...cause in this city having the right connections could be the difference between life or death..”

 With her words of caution stated Tamryn with a nod of her head got the two guards to move and allow Kiki to take her leave. Tamryn simply watched her for a moment until the girl took her leave. Once she was left alone with her guards she exited the ally and told two of her guards to follow the scent of the man who she bumped into and pay him whatever he wanted for the charm he had just purchased. While the human girl was naive to the situation, Tamryn herself was going to make sure that the sacred power Elidi held wasn’t simply crafted and distributed to those the Alpha considered completely unworthy of.

 Tamryn took one of the charms from her guard’s hand and looked it over for a moment before she gripped it into her palm, letting out a low growl she looked towards the direction Kiki had walked off in,

“Проклятые люди и их простые умы.”

Painted Love||Elidyn

@wrathfulspark​

As the couple had been spending more and more time together and less time apart Tamryn was finding herself falling even deeper into her feelings for the witch. Every smile and look scent electricity through her being that was unrelated to the Magika’s powers. The spark was entirely something they created within themselves and the more Tamryn found herself infatuated with the dark haired beauty the more she found it harder to deny how intense her feelings truly were.

 She woke early that morning after the party, rising out of Elidi’s hold she kissed her lover’s forehead careful to not move to fast and wake her. Moving out of the bed she stretched and moved out to the partially open doors of her balcony. Taking in the morning sun and the sound of nature she paused for a moment then looked back to the bed where her partner slept. After thinking for a moment she moved from the balcony and changed from her outfit she slept in and put on something entirely out of her element. A large worn and paint covered cropped sweater with tights that were equally covered in paint stains. Silently she moved out the doors of her master bedroom, knowing that once her lover woke she would more than likely come looking for her. Given how big the mansion was Tamryn wrote a note and left it on the nightstand letting Elidi know that she would be up in the art room.

 Upon unlock the door she entered the room. The large viewing windows let in all of the sunrise naturally, she took in the sent of canvas sheets and dried paint before she suddenly moved things around, tossing brushes and half used paint tubes aside she cleared out a portion of the room and set out tarps. Prepping the area before she hunted through the endless supplies to find both charcoals and and paints. Laying out a massive canvas sheet on the floor the red head  held it in place on a base so that as she worked with it the sheet would not move. For some times she stared down at the blank sheet before picking up a dark blue charcoal stick and she bean running it over the surface of he canvas in rough and quick line work that soon began to form smooth lines once she started to connect the rougher and darker lines with smaller softer ones. As she stayed focused her brow arched in an artistic fashion, almost as if within her minds eyes she was seeing something play out in her head that she was now translating to the canvas. After a moment her hands from the fingertips down to almost the palm were blackened from her smearing the edged and shading in part. Once she had the based outline done she moved to open and pour the paints she needed out onto a palette. Just as she started brush the first strokes of color onto the sheet she caught the scent of her lover and looked up,

“Bonjour mon amour, did you sleep well?”

@xreznikovx

A few days had passed since their confrontation with Kiki, and even if the Alpha hadn’t said it outright, Elidi knew Tamryn was upset. She felt it once the words left her mouth, the shift in her energy when Tamryn stood from her seated position. Her concern had been with Kiki, but even after her lover left, she couldn’t ignore the feeling to want to run after her. Nervously she fidgeted with her hands, they had decided to meet at the park, it was a nice enough day. Not too many people, a gentle breeze tossling her hair as she had worn it down today.

Next to her on the bench she was sitting at, the blue box she hadn’t given Tamryn on her birthday, on top a small little container of chocolates. Even if she didn’t regret her words, she regretted upsetting Tamryn. Elidi’s entire trip to the beach with her had gone a thousand times better than expected. Even now as she thought about it, the memories still made her heart swell in her chest. A dejected sigh leaves her. How characteristic of her to mess things up so soon, but she digressed. They could talk things over, they were adults. No need to prolong this behavior.

As Tamryn finally arrives, Elidi looked her over with a small smile, the redhead as beautiful as ever. Even if it had only been a few days since she last saw her, her beauty took her breath away each time. After Tamryn is seated, Elidi let’s some time pass, allowing the woman beside her to get comfortable while she keeps her hues on the people passing by. Finally she shifts her regard to Tamryn, reaching to place a hand on her knee, “I just want to say that I didn’t mean to upset you…. I don’t regret going on the trip with you, Red. It was… greater than I could’ve ever imagined, but I still feel guilty that I wasn’t there for her. Her family is dead now and…” Her words trailed off, brows knitting together, “I just seem to be late is all.”

Tamryn managed to avoid Elidi almost entirely since she had heard her apologize for not being there for the human girl. To Tamryn, the whole reason Elidi had in fact not been there was due to them being away. In the she wolf’s eyes they had nothing to be sorry about. However the entire display that day had shifted Tamryn’s energy entirely towards both the witch and wiccan.

 Tamryn often ignored an onslaught of messages from others though she never thought she would find herself to be out right avoiding the efforts of her lover. The very idea warped her perception of the thought as she felt Elidi was to some degree apologetic for their love being in the way. The trip was so much more than just a trip to the she wolf, she was trusting and vulnerable moments that she now felt were unwanted and to some degree devalued. It crippled not only her pride, but her heart, which few were actually able to affect personally. Even though disinterest was the alpha intentions, she couldn’t find herself to actually be done with the witch entirely.

 She did love Elidi, which was a rare thing Tamryn had never felt for another before. It was the sole reason when Elidi mentioned meeting up to talk in person that she was more than willing. As she approached the meeting place she held her head and her shoulder higher, her resolve seemed to harden with each step as she finally made eye contact with the witch. Her jaw tensed as her heart fluttered against her will, why was she so weak to this woman? With each step her thoughts faded as she focused more so on the reason they were in this position in the first place. Sitting by her lover’s side she looked directly at her with a stern expression upon her face, her brow arched almost as if she were expecting Elidi to speak first, and was making it clear she didn’t feel the need to speak, the look in her vivid blue hues spoke for itself.

Her gaze darted down to Elidi’s hand upon her knee, how she longed for the touch of her lover, but she would never voice that in the moment. The look she had hid well how much she needed that touch, she appeared more bothered by it than comforted though it was just the level of unphased Tamryn was maintaining, listening to her words she rolled her eyes and finally looked elsewhere as she sat back against the bench,

 “You really brought me here to have the same conversation we have been having over texts and not reaching any end point with...You feel sorry too much as of late darling, its an unattractive look for you. You sure seemed to regret it when you said sorry on your knees. You also seemed to forget that she tossed you aside twice for her own benefit, yet you are sorry for not being there for her, where is she ever for you? Like a typical human, she expects forgiveness and understanding when she has done nothing to earn it. I get it Elidi, you see yourself in her, I saw that from the moment you picked her up as a student despite how she is. I also get that her family is gone now, but the issue between us, has nothing to do with her.”

 At this point she was now focused directly on Elidi as she spoke,

“It has to do with me now questioning if I was falling for you faster and harder than you appeared to be falling for me. I am not sorry for us not being here. I offered her help when I caught her selling your magic. She denied it, that's on her...But to hear you apologize for not being there for her when the only reason you weren't was because we were together, going through what we through...”

 She trailed off and simply growled before looking away again, she refused to show that it affected her deeper than causing her to just question things, sitting upright more she arched a brow,

 “You can’t be everywhere at once, that does not mean you have to be sorry for it all the time.”

Shattered.

@kiki-wiccan @xreznikovx

The trip to the beach with Tamryn had been like a dream, even more and she never wanted to wake up. Unfortunately like all good things their trip came to an end. Elidi couldn’t bare the thought of being away from Tamryn, at least not so soon after such a heavenly vacation. She’s elated when Tamryn agrees to come back home with her, wanting to be alone with the witch as much as Elidi wanted to be alone with the Alpha. The ride back to Tabula isn’t long, filled with laughter and declarations of love so long as the Alpha wasn’t annoyed with her antics.

Elidi eyed the luggage, glad this was the final time she had to haul them items anywhere. “As fun as that was I’m sort of happy to be home, mostly sad seeing I don’t get you all to myself anymore.” The ice chest is dropped by her feet as she fumbles for her keys, hues lifting up to the door knob, her brow quickly furrowing as she notices the door is not shut entirely. Certain she had locked the door, the items that resided on her shoulders and in her hands fell noisily to the pavement. Elidi turned to face Tamryn, looking about her yard, assured there was no immediate danger outside. Pushing the door open, she crosses the threshold, hues scanning the walls for any other presence aside from the couples. Finding nothing she’s all too relieved as Binx pads over, brushing against her ankles. The witch exhales a sigh as she crouches to pet the tubby cat, her head tipping as she looks up to Tamryn. “Stay.. right here just in case.” Attempting to be as quiet as possible, she turns the knob as she shuts the door, finally turning to observe the rooms.

While still searching for other auras, the first thing she notices is the books scattered about the floor, none of the books looked damaged bit they were clearly looking for something. The witch approached one of the novels, holding it in her grasp as she continued to survey the area. Elidi inhaled deeply from her nose, wrathful vehemence itching along her spine, creeping up her neck, intertwining to heat her visage. Digits are quick to move to her nape, digging into the skin there as she wills herself to calm. Aside from the bookshelf being ransacked, a few of her plants had been toppled over, ceramic from the pots in pieces on the wood floors. Her gaze stoic as she examines the greenery in front of her feet. Hues lift to stare down the hallway to her bedroom, the door open to her quarters.

Dropping the novel her pace is quick as she enters her room, suddenly alarmed. She kept the stronger spells in her room, where she finds a similar scene, more broken pots, tossed books. Briefly she’s confused, all the wards she’s set in place are still active, aside from an alter, though it held no purpose other than aesthetics. Even if this person were a skilled magika, one of them were bound to activate. Her mind travels back to the door, she hadn’t located any signs of forced entry, no broken windows, the door hadn’t been forced open even. Static emits off her shoulders as she stared blankly at the shelves, her hands now balled into fists at her sides.

Elidi turns walking from her chambers, glowering as her mind tosses theories here and there. The only other person who had a key was Kiki, she had yet to make Tamryns. Lightning illuminated frequently in the air around her, the further her thoughts trailed into that of betrayal, she had trusted her. The witch stays, looming in the darkened hallway, all but her illuminated energy and eyes that sought Tamryn’s in the dim lighting. “Kiki.”

As if on queue her phone chimes, Elidi set on ignoring it, but the insistent pings cause her to huff as she fetches the device, reading the short messages. Light emits from her palm, not wanting to short fuse her phone she growls as she sets the device on the kitchen island, unlocked for Tamryn to read Kiki’s apologetic messages. “Got damn it.” She paces the floor as her mind wanders, unaware of the storm brewing outside, finding it difficult to soothe her trepidation. “How ��� can she want me to listen to her right now….I-I mean sure she isn’t the malicious type but even this seems a little… unnecessary. It’s out of character, something happened,” A loud crack of thunder causes her to jump, the witch moving to take a seat on one of the stools in the kitchen, “need to calm down first…there are explanations for everything.”

 While the trip seemed to only solidify the bond the two women had, Tamryn was more than happy to be back within the familiar sights and sounds of Tabula Rasa. As Elidi carried their luggage Tamryn huffed playfully and walked behind her somewhat to almost admire the fact she always did the heavy lifting though Tamryn offered many times that she would help. Upon hearing her love’s words of no longer having her to herself the she wolf growled almost in protest,

 “Love, you get me all to yourself no matter where we are. Whenever you want me you simply have to text me and I will be on my way within moments.”

 Distracted entirely by her lover, still thinking about all they had experienced together while on their little get away. The alpha was entirely devoted to the woman who stood there fumbling for her keys. Lost in the new found love Tamryn had not been alerted to the fact the door was left open, only when Elidi seemed to become alert did Tamryn break from her swooned mentality.

 Locking eyes with Elidi she knew right away that something was off and she turned to look the opposite direction Elidi did as she drew out her claws as she looked ready to defend and protect, whichever came first. The moment her love opened the door ad stepped inside Tamryn was right there by her side almost like a guard dog, she was attentive to everything, her eyes scanned as well as she stood somewhat offset from her lover. Her gaze dropped the moment the cat moved within their line of sight, she growled but caught it in her throat once she noticed it was the cat and not some small threat. Upon seeing Elidi bend to pet the cat she stayed alert and defensive though when her love told her to stay she tilted her head giving her a challenging look,

 “I will forget the fact you just told me to stay, because I know what you mean by it, however there is no way in hell I am letting you go in there alone. Together, remember.”

 Her words were not stated as a question more so as a matter of fact and she left no room for negotiation or argument. Allowing Elidi to take the lead she simply stayed close enough to defend her if she were ambushed turning a corner. The alpha maintained guard over her lover as she looked over the books, her eyes focused in the opposite directions that Elidi looked at all times, alert with her hearing and sense of smell, she inhaled deep before look around once more with a low growl,

 “I don’t hear any heartbeats nor can I smell anyone that wouldn’t have access to the house..the most recent scent is Kiki’s which is a given..”

The moment Elidi’s wrath seemed to surface Tamryn felt it and rather than draw attention to it she seemed to keep her silent focus on her lover, observing her response to the situation with a bit more interest now. She had been experiencing a lot of Elidi’s emotional range as of late yet what she was feeling now was almost intriguing to the she wolf for she had never felt Elidi having emotions like the ones she was displaying in that moment.

  Seeing her love rush towards the bedroom Tamryn stayed in the main room and crossed her arms, smelling that no one was there she watched as Elidi seemed to come across another scene within her own room. The red head stepped closer to the hallway before she stopped slowly seeing Elidi exit the room and met her gaze she felt the betrayal Elidi had surfacing as well as the wrath. Tamryn’s eyes involuntarily shifted yellow in response to the feeling as she growled low hearing the cause of everything.

 “Why does that not surprise me, can I just eat her and save us-”

 The tone of Elidi’s phone caused her to stop short as she arched a brow seeing her eventually cave and read the messages being sent to her back to back. The she wolf stood a little closer now but waited fr Elidi to respond, her eyes more so focused on her lover and reading the rise in her anger. She took notice to the electricity surfacing from Elidi’s palm,

 “Darling, don’t melt your phone.”

 She stated, her gaze focused on her lover as she tossed down her phone, naturally Tamryn picked it up and read the texts, letting out a scoff as she read them before setting the phone down upon hearing Elidi speak. Watching her pace for a moment Tamryn stepped closer furrowing her brow,

 “She is clearly using you for your magic Eli, I knew the moment I caught her selling it on the streets, you really think it is beyond a human to do this kind of thing. Something will happen, to her, Nobody does this kind of thing to you and assumes they can just-”

 The crack of thunder caused her to duck before looking towards the back door and seeing the storm surfacing outside. For a good moment she actually stood there and contemplated whether or not to fuel this storm rising within her lover just to see what would come of it. Though when she looked at Elidi jump at the sound of her own thunder Tamryn suddenly got a change of perception. As her lover sat on the bar stool Tamryn pulled it closer to her and hugged her arms around the witch in efforts to help calm her storm.

 Tamryn rested her head upon Elidi’s and ran her fingers through her hair comfortingly before refocusing her own aggression towards the matter, trying to be calm enough for it to cancel out Elidi’s building wrath. Hugging her with as much comfort as she could,

 “Exactly, perhaps something did happen... and she has reason. Though do not feel like you have to respond to her now or even today Love. I do agree you need to calm down, although I am kind of liking the feelings I am getting from you. Rage looks pretty attractive on you... but as much as I like it I want to help you, so just breathe and focus on me until you can calm down enough to figure out if you even want to hear her out or not.”

Ludivyn kept her attention onto the brunette that seemed to have a peaceful presence about her unlike the familiar company she was with. Feeling her cheeks begin to warm up with a red embarrassment, her anxiety grew by the second. The only thing that kept her somewhat calm was the kind smile that the non threatening woman gave her, however that was short lived when the nervous waitress fumbled her words. Hearing the loud thoughts between the two sent the small fae into panic mode. Between the thoughts of the brunette wanting to leave, and the redhead wanting to eat Ludivyn made it almost impossible to function in the frantic moment. Part of her wanted to reassure the woman to stay just so she could prove that she could handle the human job, but the stronger part of her wished they would leave as the she wolf truly frightened the blonde.

“A-ah-al-...” Her focused played a wild game of ping pong between the pairing while she tried to gather a few words. “A-Alfredo. Got it.” A quivering smile twitched towards the brunette guest before bravely looking towards the redhead whos eyes then glowed yellow.

“I-... I’m afraid...” Ludivyn cleared the lump in her throat, “...what you want isn’t on the menu. W-would you like something else?” The fragile fae asked without able to look into those cold icy hues that the wolf woman possessed. Squinting hearing the combination of thoughts that were heard, she shook her head after the response and quickly walked towards the kitchen. A co-worker had noticed the fear on her face but didn’t stop to question it, though she could hear the concern from the other anyhow. Knowing she had to pull herself together and remain professional if she wanted to keep the job and fit in, she placed the order for the cook then headed towards the ladies restroom to splash some cold water on her face in hopes to calm down her nerves.

While the local restaurant would have been the last choice the she wolf would have picked for a quick date night, it was agreed upon that both didn’t exactly feel up to leaving town to when they knew that more than likely the night would end with them just drinking back at the Compound or Elidi’s home. As the red head let her partner order first she was too distracted by Elidi’s scent and reading the menu herself to notice the scent of the blonde before hearing her voice. Upon hearing her state what it was Elidi had order the she wolf shot her head up and gave Elidi a look, knowing that was not what she had said,

 “How does one mistake-”

 In that moment as she was about to draw attention to the waitress’s fault the Alpha caught that scent and her eyes phased yellow almost the moment she inhaled. Tamryn tensed visibly and let out a low growl as the she wolf glared up at the girl,

“And I was almost certain that our last encounter would have sent you running from this city...Yet here you are, doing an awful job of taking food orders. Ironic really...I don’t even need to order now. You already know what I want.”

Elidi didn't particularly mind whatever setting she was in with Tamryn, more so she was happy enough to just be around the alpha and spend time with her. The witch certainly had her appetite tonight, truth be told she couldn't remember if she had eaten today or not, maybe a quick snack sometime during her shift. When she became invested in a case or her job, she seemed to lose track of her own basic necessities, like eating. At least she bathed and drank water often but that could from her connection with water.

A small smile crosses her reddend lips, with her order now in mind she was content to just stare at the alpha. Until the waiter arrives, Elidi placing her order with a friendly smile. She's in a pleasant mood all until Ludivyn repeats her order back horrificly wrong. "God, no. I just want fettucine alfredo." Briefly she is amused by Tamryn's response, ger expression faltering shortly after, now uncertain if she even wanted to eat here. Or trusted this woman with her order, who she vaguely remembered from the fair.

Tamryn's unusual response causes her brow to arch, it seemed the alpha knew the woman but the nature seemed anything but friendly, let alone warm. She wondered what transpired between the two women, ardent hues narrowing as her curiosity grew. She sipped from her glass of water that had been set down by a different waiter, her gaze briefly residing on the waitress before flickering back to Tamryn, her expression impassive.

"That's quite a response, don't you think Red?"

wrathfulspark​:

“That’s a rather cute way to describe leaving a mark.” An amused smile crossed her lips, somewhat surprised that the redhead would say such a thing, even if her tone was dripping with pride.

For a moment she seems disappointed, it seemed this was the most civility she would get from the beta. Becoming annoyed or angry with the younger sister wouldn’t benefit her either, despite how much her thoughts were seething in irritation. Without even checking her aura she could sense the negativity radiating from her, the distrust. Her bright gaze peered at Jaylah attentively in a attempt to perceive some veritable emotion from her, something not judgmental. Elidi knew she was staring for far too long at Jaylah with furrowed brows, understanding full well the redhead would think she was being weird or something similar along those lines. Despondent, she finds none of that in Jaylah’s eyes, which the Reznikov now hid behind her sunglasses. The comment on her day off is ignored, finding the subject touchy therefore best left unheard.

Eventually she turns her optics away, staring wordlessly out at the people mingling around the park, enjoying the nice sunny day. A gentle breeze tossled her ebony locks, the subtle scent of rain tickling her nose as the wind desists. Another ability she needly to strictly regiment aside from her glowing hues.

Her relationship with Tamryn was growing, hopefully into something everlasting as they had once discussed. Yet if the alpha was having a difficult time understanding her own flesh and blood, Elidi didn’t see how she was supposed too, even with Tamryn’s insistence that this was nothing more than a phase. She even informed the witch of their past differences, the turned were Lupe. While a great empath, none of that concerned Elidi, they were both adults, wasn’t it time to act like one? As she had said many times before, the past belonged to the past, there was no altering what has already been done. You could only go forward. Besides that it irked Elidi that Jaylah could be so judgmental of the witch based on the beta’s past, she hadn’t even gotten to know her, and what transpired between her and Tamryn had nothing to do with the witch. Perhaps some of Elidi’s own dislike for Jaylah came from her own past filled with unwanted memories, though she was fairly certain it was that personality of hers.

Not wanting to overstay her welcome, (though she most likely never was) Elidi rose to her feet, dusting the grass that collected along her jeans before offering Jaylah a half-smile. “See you around, princesa. This was awkward, but an attempt none the less, I’m sure there’ll be a lot of moments like this.” Her words were spoken firmly, as if trying to say she intended to stick around whether Jaylah liked it or not, that her attempts to deter the witch had failed.

One last glance is cast on Jaylah, the strange personality she just couldn’t figure out, before she turned walking away with her book in hand, to read somewhere among the park grounds. An amused chuckle escapes her, upon the thought this is the first time she has walked away from a conversation instead of Jaylah.

Confusion took place when Elidi spoke of Jaylah’s choice of words being cute for she wasn’t sure if the detective was paying a compliment in her efforts or being condescending. This caused Jaylah to keep her guard up with a little window of opportunity for conversation to take place. Part of her wanted to figure out this odd woman for herself and keep a close eye on her, but the stronger part of her couldn’t stand the presence all together as every word and motion irked the fiery redhead. Jaylah had never befriended a witch before and only heard legends and various rumors about them throughout her time. The only positive thing about them was the witch trials that took place centuries ago that took the focus off of other supernaturals such as weres in general. Still, Elidi held no service to Jaylah and felt she best stick to the old ways of Tamryns teachings in sticking to her own rather than be fooled by otherwise. It was apparent the two were stuck in their own thoughts as their conversational exchange grew quiet. Leaning on the stubborn side of her emotions, Jaylah looked in the other direction almost to ignore the woman to see if Elidi would confess to anything due to the awkwardness in the air. After some time, as expected the witch spoke up and got up to dismiss herself which caused a cocky smirk to appear in the corner of her lips. Jaylah gave a head nod of acknowledgement and resumed her blankness gaze in the open abyss. For a moment she was perfectly fine with leaving the conversation at that as now she could at least say that she gave it a try, but after hearing the chuckle from the curious witch, it caused the younger Reznikov to stand up to challenge her. “So that’s it?” She shouted to the woman trying to have an easy escape. “You never told me why you like my sister. What your intentions are with her?... I think I have the right to know. She may not have a mother or father to pass judgements when it comes to... new relationships... but she has me. And I have questions Elidi...”

Jaylah crossed her arms as she sat on her hip. Almost shocked at her own words she looked down to the ground and rubbed the toe sole of her shoe into the ground as a temporary nervous distraction.

“And I think we should talk, on behalf of Tamryn.”

[xreznikovx]

wrathfulspark​:

Red seemed like the obvious answer to Elidi, however she hated making assumptions for the most part. The hue was fitting to the Alpha, everything about the color screamed Tamryn to the witch, it was the color of her aura most od the time. She was sure there was a shade in existence to perfectly encapsulate Tamryn. It wasn’t cerise, scarlet, or even carmine and ruby. Vermillion was the closest choice to the color she was envisioning for the Alpha. One day she’d have a proper name to describe the hue she was seeing for Tamryn.

Realizing she had gotten a little to sidetracked by the color reveal she blinked focusing on the last bit of what Tamryn was saying. “Horror? That seems… fitting and not all in one. I could see you being amused by the scenarios though, humans rarely get it right. Not that I blame them really…”

Content with Tamryn scooting closer to her, a gentle smile pulled at her lips, though faltered at Tamryn’s next choice in questioning. Elidi’s gaze held Tamryns, while she took a long drink from her glass, while she considered her options. Murder was not an option it seemed, so she supposed she could kill a few birds with one stone with her answer.

“Oh… well. When I was born, I was left at a home for orphans, so I’m told. I don’t know my parents, and I don’t care too. That wasn’t the point, anyhow. Due to some childish errors on my part, word got out that I was a witch. After that it was hard to … be welcomed into a home. I bounced around a lot from home to home, some decent and some… far from it.” Elidi paused, her gaze briefly diverting from Tamryns, hesitant if only for a second.

“There was one home in particular, a man and his wife who took me in. As I mentioned earlier, people knew what I was, a witch. I rarely used my abilities because they weren’t received warmly to put simply.” She stopped to take another drink, shifting her gaze to the glass in her lap instead of Tamryn’s blue hues. “The woman worked quite a bit and he was home, a lot. Uhm, he’d make me…” Her gaze hardened while the grip on her glass tightened considerably, hating just how small her voice sounded, how vulnerable, “Anyways, one day I grew tired of it. I knew they’d send me back, back to another home, another situation. It was stupid, but I used my powers.”

“Well, first I disoriented him, then I created this sort of sphere of water around his head and shoulders, and I watched him. I watched him struggle. He tried to stop me but he was not stable from the hit on the head I’d given him. I waited until he collapsed, blubbering, gasping, clawing at the floor. And then I stopped.” She quickly drank the rest of the wine from her glass.

“After that I had felt so disgusted with myself. How could I be any better than he was? I consider that the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done, because it awoke something inside. Something dark, and frightening. I had stared a man in the eyes and nearly watched him die, yet I couldn’t pity him if I wanted too, couldn’t… bat an eye.”

Elidi swallowed nervously, pressing her hand to the side of her cheek. “I’ve never told anyone that before, I don’t talk about my past much. However, I felt like I could… tell you some of it. I know it’s… a bit much to hear. I don’t care to dwell on it however. My past wasn’t kind to me, but it has definitely shaped me into who I am today. That, I suppose I can be grateful for.”

Her cheeks warmed considerably, suddenly feeling very awkward and vulnerable, “I suppose I could’ve just said any sort of dangerous mission. Though I just consider that part of the job..”

 Her enduring smirk seemed to fade as her look went from wild wonder to serious interest as Elidi spoke. The deeper into her past she seemed to speak the more Tamryn noticed a shift in her energy and scent though she didn’t address it. Her interest stayed focused on what she was being told rather than reading the body language of how she was telling it. The look in the she wolf’s eyes showed she was genuinely listening to what she was being told, to the point where when Elidi broke eye contact it seemed to almost take her by surprise.

 Rather than speaking the Alpha stayed thoughtfully silent, her blue hues remained on the profile of the witch’s face fondly as she paused. Even without reading her scent and energy it was clear this was something Elidi hadn’t done often, due to that Tamryn let her say what she wanted at her own pace rather than leading the conversation like she normally did. Her own curiosity to what would be said further kept her in silence as she watched intently.

 Her expression went from interest to anger upon what Elidi said next. It was a very clear response for the look surfaced the moment the woman by her side trailed off. An involuntary growl escaped the Alpha’s throat though her lips remained pressed in a thin line. Though in the same moment she noticed how the witch’s grip tightened on the glass, carefully she reached out and placed her hand gently on Elidi’s shoulder, as if to root her into the reality that she was there rather than wherever her memories could have been taking her mind. It was a silent gesture, the she wolf kept her strong gaze focused as the other began to speak again.

 What she was told next intrigued her, Tamryn’s brow arched in curiosity to what Elidi stated she could do, and while others might have found it a bit dark, Tamryn found it justified given the information she had been told prior to hearing how it ultimately almost ended. Upon hearing how Elidi felt it had awoken something within her the she wolf seemed to smirk a bit more at the thought. Though it faded to a softer expression as the witch spoke further. Tamryn didn’t need to be told that this was something personal and not share with most. She could tell, however it gave her this strange feeling of being intimately closer to the detective hearing her openly admit it.

 With her hand still on the witch’s shoulder Tamryn remained silent in thought for a moment before she moved to stand. She set her wine glass down on the table before turning to Elidi and moving to sit in her lap. The wolf was slow in her motion to not discomfort the other, though she felt the need to be closer in that moment than she already was with what she was about to say. With her arms loosely wrapped around the detective’s neck she looked down at her fondly,

 “Thank you for sharing this with me. I know you don’t share that with many, because I could hear it in your voice..It was not a lot to hear, I want to know every part of you, especially the parts of you no one else knows. You absolutely can tell me parts of it, I am the last person that will judge you for what you’ve done. Specially if the asshole deserved it. I would have ripped his throat out, even as a child..you didn’t do anything wrong in what you did then. He is lucky you showed any mercy at all really.. Your past was not kind to you, but I’m grateful for it as well because I find who you are today incredibly strong and independent which is extremely attractive. I’m glad you didn’t talk about your work. As attractive as your dedication to it is, I appreciate you letting this side of you show with me. Because I will dangerously protect it.”

[xreznikovx]

wrathfulspark​:

Elidi took solace in Tamryn’s declaration, the assertion enough to soothe her racing heart if only a second more as that feared question leaves Tamryn’s lips. She knew. Her attention deterred from Tamryn’s hues, finding it challenging to meet the Alpha’s gaze in the moment, and no escape with her hand pressed firmly to her nape. Elidi was by no means shy nor timorous, yet the warmth flushing her skin was not brought on by the sun, which only made her inwardly fret all the more. All the while she kept a neutral expression on her face somehow, all aside from her reddening cheeks.

Mentally her brain screamed to make up some sort of lie, what she had really meant to say was I lo… LO? What words started with L O to make a convincing statement!? Tamryn would know if she was lying, if not for the bracelets then intuition alone would be enough to suffice. Nervously she bit the inside of her cheek, usually when she was this agitated she’d bite her nails, but seeing as her hands were occupied elsewhere, and given the redhead’s close proximity, that option remained out.

At war with herself, the witch realizes she’s been silent for far too long, staring like a deer caught in the headlights. She blinks, averting illuminated orbs to the ocean’s waves, “It really isn’t the time Red..” She began delicately, hues flickering back to hold her gaze while her heart pounded unnecessarily fast in her chest. “Not that I don’t…I just - you’re doing something entirely out of your comfort zone for my own happiness.”

The more she spoke of the situation, the easier she found it to talk about her emotions, rosy faced and all. “It’s the beach, the sun, and you. Three major factors in my life in some shape, way or form. Merely lying here with you made me realize I wouldn’t want to be here with anyone else, I don’t want to sit in sand with anyone else.” She laughed faintly, leaning to drop her forehead delicately against Tamryns. “I … I love you.” Elidi spoke softly, moving to press her palm to her cheek, cradling her face delicately, “I’m not… embarassed to say it, at least not in that way. I just don’t want to ruin what we have by saying something foolishly early.”

With the sun’s rays warming her skin and the sound of the ocean in her ears, the elements gave her the necessary boost of encouragement to carry on. “Being here, getting to experience this with you seems so… unrealistic for me. There have been multiple occasions in my lifetime where I’ve thought, I’ll never be happy, I won’t get to know that feeling, not to its true extent. For my own personal beliefs, faults and crimes. Here I am in spite of those lingering thiughts, blissfully plessed,” She paused to drop a kiss to the tip of Tamryn’s nose than the corner of her lips, a smile stretched across her own pinkened lips, “and I am, undeniably happy, smitten and hopelessly in love with you, Red.”

 Still and focused the she wolf remained silent as she watched Elidi, hearing and feeling the panic she was going through the alpha was uncertain as to how to comfort her in the moment, or why she needed to be comforted all of a sudden. Had her own anxiety reflected off onto Elidi s well. She tilted her head upon hearing her lover speak, confusion overtook her defined features as the red head arched a brow and questioned her statement without speaking directly.

 Tamryn’s focused and questioned gaze seemed to ease into a soft and affectionate smile as Elidi began to speak about how the beach, the sun and her being there made her feel. Always enthralled by how romantic Elidi spoke when speaking in regards to her feelings the she wolf moved closer to her lover naturally as she gave off a soft whine of affection upon feeling the witch’s forehead against her own. It rooted the regal wolf to the moment once more with sudden intensity as she heard what was spoken next.

 Her whole being seemed to grow hot almost instantly. Her chest swelled as her eyes locked onto Elidi’s face, reading it for any sign of hesitation or falter in the words she had said. Tamryn seemed to go still upon the words setting in, recovering upon feeling the touch to her cheek. With intense blue eyes focused onto her lover the red head leaned her head naturally into the witch’s palm as she remained silent and awe struck in the moment. Sure Tamryn had been told she was loved a few times, however never had she been told it before by someone she actually felt love for as well.

 Tamryn kept everyone at a distance to some degree even romantically, yet with Elidi she was entirely open and willing. Hearing those three words cause something to solidify within the she wolf as she looked down to those lips she had longed to hear those words from for some time. Her eyes flickered back up to meet her lover’s as the alpha furrowed her brows upon hearing that Elidi was worried about saying it too soon. While she wanted to speak and say the things that swelled around in her mind and heart she stayed deliberately silent until Elidi had finished speaking.

 Attentive to every word coming from the woman who’s arms she remained in the red head kept her gaze soft and full of love and admiration as Elidi went on. She leaned into the kiss placed upon the tip of her nose, and smiled as the kiss was moved to the corner of her lips. More awe found its way upon the she wolf’s expression as she heard Elidi admit that she was in love with her. Her eyes found Elidi’s right as the words were spoken.

 Without hesitation the moment Elidi finished speaking fully the alpha moved closer, she moved slowly and repositioned herself so that she was now straddling Elidi’s lap. She took the witch by her face carefully and guided her to look directly up into her eyes as she leaned down so that they were inches from each others faces.

Keeping the dark haired woman’s focus on her and her alone she maintained a intense look in her eyes as the golden hue shined forward. The Alpha had never felt such a strong pull to be with someone before, and while she was not entirely sure of what the feeling was she knew it was beyond any other kind of bond she had with anyone else. Speaking in that low velvet voice of hers she responded directly to Elidi,

“It is never too early to say how you truly feel when you are with me Eli, specially given the things we have been through. Nothing will ruin us, if we wish such a thing. Your feelings are only reciprocated when it comes to me darling, Parce que je suis si impuissant amoureux de toi aussi.”

 The soft grip of her slender hands upon Elidi’s face tensed, almost to tilt her head up to look her directly in the eyes if she had not been already. Tamryn scanned her features fondly before she spoke once more,

 “I love you, Eli.”

 There was a deep sense of passion behind the words as she spoke them before she leaned down and kissed those lips that had spoken the same words to her moment prior. Rather than breaking the kiss like she usually did after some time she wrapped her arms around her lover and deepened the kiss, no longer aware of their location she was more so focused on the intense feeling of belonging she suddenly had in the moment.

wrathfulspark​:

Jaylah’s yell is unexpected, causing the witch to halt in her tracks, dormant, till her brightened hues glance over her shoulder to Jaylah. The Beta’s inconsistent behavior as well as emotions were puzzling, dark and twisted like a labyrinthine. Elidi’s grip on her book tightened considerably before she turned fully and walked back over to Jaylah. “Now she wants to talk…”

“Forgive me for not being informative, as you’ve never asked my intentions with your sister. Though I’m not sure what you mean by that entirely, do you ask every single one of her partner’s these questions. Or only witches?” Her brow arched with her inquiry though she doubted Jaylah would answer her anyhow. “I’ve no intentions in telling you what I like about your sister, that’s private but if you think I have any malicious intent hidden behind this relationship, I don’t.”

Trepidation creeps up her spine, a familiar forewarning of the vehemence that was soon to come. Elidi had become terribly impatient with this game Jaylah always seemed to be playing. “Is this because of her rank, social standing, the fact that she is the Alpha? I don’t care about any of that! Yet if she ever needs my help with any of it, or any other problem that may arise, you can bet that she can depend on me. I care deeply for her, and I don’t see how that effects you. Maybe it is because I don’t have any siblings, parents even, but you’re not her keeper, and we’re not teenagers!”

Her hues drift elsewhere, the topic of Lupe crossing her mind as her brows furrow, her gaze moving back to Jaylah. “I understand that a … unnecessary incident transpired between, you, Tamryn and Lupe, and I don’t agree with what was done, but I didn’t have anything to do with that. The fact that your dislike of me buds from that only irks me further and feeds into your childish nature. On behalf of Tamryn…” A scoff leaves her, her regard shifting to the corner of her eye followed by an annoyed shake of her head, “You don’t seem like you care all that much for or about your sister lately, I’ve been around quite a bit and have yet to see you anywhere.” Elidi scowled, optics narrowing, though it went undetected by the vivid blue hue, “I’m not interested in whatever you’re selling. Are you being genuine? Is this another ploy of yours? Our interactions, although sparce, have given me enough insight to see right through you.” Though Jaylah was indeed acting somewhat reticent, Elidi still couldn’t turn a blind eye. The fair, their encounters at the compound, the text messages they exchanged, the car wreck. Amidst her grip on her novel, steam rose steadily from its spine, small sparks of light emitting from underneath her flesh. Impatiently her foot tapped against the soil, a steady exhale emitted from her nose, letting the irritation slowly seep from her body.

“I love Tamryn…” Her gaze averted, not so comfortable voicing her feelings to Jaylah of all people, though the embarrassment is short lived and her tone remained firm throughout. “So much so, that I’ve let you live despite the sloppy car crash scene you left behind.” Elidi’s icy hues bore into Jaylahs, her lips set into a firm line as she held the younger Reznikovs gaze. “…… I don’t really care to hear what you have to say, however it would be rude of me not to listen, so say what it is you have to say so I can leave and read my book.”

Jaylah stared the witch in the eye as the distance between them closed in. Elidi’s first question, she did have an answer to, but stayed silent almost knowing more was to come. Tamryn hadn’t developed a partnership with anyone so this situation was most definitely unique, but of course she wasn’t going to give Elidi that satisfaction in knowing that she was Tamryns first most serious fling. “I did the same with Dallas, yes. A werewolf that she once dated. They were a really good pair and he liked me, but I’m sure she’s told you about him.” Her thoughts spoke back to Elidi with a unphased stare. By staying silent, more answers came out from the dark haired female which was what Jaylah wanted. Instead of doing the predictable, the redhead lifted her eyebrows like a surprised brat to display interest and to show she was listening.

The younger sibling stayed stone cold towards the witch as Elidi seemed to fire back questions. Her eye contact not leaving for a second to waste, they only moved as her lids narrowed when Elidi spoke about how Jaylah wasn’t Tamryn keeper but not understanding the weight of what it meant to be blood to back up her accusation. Still, her words pursed in between her sculpted lips that sealed shut to the womans surprise, and her emerald orbs stayed locked on the target, observing every word and every action behind it. Shifting for a slit second once Lupe’s name was mentioned, she snarled at the remark about her understanding anything about the incident, but realizing it was a test to see how Jaylah would predator-idly react. However, when Elidi said that she didn’t agree with Tamryns ways on how it was handled caused Jaylah to stand up a bit from her hunched posture. She looked down to fix her clothes as Elidi followed up the false empathy only to insult her in the following sentence while she debated the conversation in her head. The impulses of her nature were screaming at her to leave the pointless conversation, but Jaylah stayed before the witch while she continued.

In that moment the redhead brat was glad she stayed for she was pleased to know she had successfully gotten inside Elidi’s mind and twisted all reality and things questionable. Raising her folded arms from across her chest to over her head to lean back like a headrest, she continued to listen to the rant. Head games were common within the pack to test each other and others, but perhaps there were reasons to her madness that she had been trying to convey that was blinded by Elidis infatuation with Tamryn. The debate on whether to be helpful and form allies or to sworn enemies to keep the rotation going was beginning to stir in the same melting pot. Though the wisdom witch claimed to see right through Jaylah, she allowed those to see what they wanted to.

After stretching out in all her confident glory, the two stood in silence until the other broke the silence, that being Elidi declaring her love for Tamryn. The tension was clear though there was an ounce of communication in the air, Jaylah allowed her arms to fall to her sides.

Scratching at her hairline, she gathered to find the words to say back. The one thing she could sense from the other was honesty, and she debated whether it was wise to do the same. Her eyes shifted from the blue sets of hues back on the green grass a couple of times until it was time for something to be said.

“I know you care about Tamryn...” Jaylah deflated as she dropped her fidgeting hand down to her side where she then connected her fidgeting digits through her belt loop.

“And I know she cares about you....” Her eyes distanced themselves from the others stare to concentrate on what needed to be said.

“Maybe it’s the familiar long black hair, or the way you two look at each other and protect one another, but you remind me a lot of Lupe.” She swallowed the large lump in her throat before making eye contact and continuing, “She was half human too... and Tamryn got rid of her like... an old book.” Her eyes wandered to the romance book in hand before looking back up. “I don’t agree what she did either, but I will more than likely forgive her in unnatural ways only to leave myself broken once again like before. Listen, if you choose her, you let go a piece of yourself because it’s the most sacrificing thing you can do for the person you set as the most important thing on earth... and that’s based on both love and fear. I’m not saying I care about you because I don’t know enough to know you, but like I said, there’s a part a Lupe I see in you, so take it as a compliment because she the best thing that’s ever happened to me, she’s my saving grace and I’m lucky to have her, she’s..mi rosa especial enviada del cielo para guiarme en la tierra.”

A smile faded to taking a deep breath, Jaylah continued, “Lupe didn’t have a choice to become part of the pack, you do. If this is what you want, then you have to see not only Tamryn but fit yourself into the pack as well. Lupe is still strugging with that, but she’s trying. You have to put yourself behind which means, you have to protect me too, which means... I have to trust you.”

“I may be young and have done stupid things in my lifetime, but I know what it’s like to feel and be in true love. I know all the signs. I bet you two have had late night talks, sharing each others biggest secrets. Bet you two have made promises to one another that you’ve never promised another. Maybe done some things out of your comfort zone to prove your love, bend the rules for loyalty?... You are the closest thing to Lupe and I when it comes to you and Tamryn. I mean...how do you honestly expect me to react? The only difference between you two is that I am imprinted with Lupe, and Tamryn doesn’t even know what a soulmate is if it slapped her in the face. I barely knew what love was until I turned an innocent person, that happened to be my soulmate... and I nearly lost myself because I lost them... all because my sister didn’t approve of them. But... but I’m suppose to be okay with whatever happens b-because I’m just a beta... right? Well, you’re not in any rank so what say do you have? Oh oh, wait a minute, you’re the girlfriend... I’ve known Tamryn since the 18th century a-and you’ve known her since Tabula Rasa opened so... fuck me right?”

Jaylah began to pace as she thought out loud with all of her concerns.

“Three years ago you would have been dust based on how Tamryns mind works, Elidi. You’re only lucky enough to roam around and see the light of day because Tamryn chooses to.” Her words were beginning to build the more she correlated Lupe and Elidi together.

“You are a powerful witch, so it makes sense as to why you would be an addition to our pack. But what if it doesn’t work, huh? What if in a year or two one of you decide running with the wolves is not for you, hmm? What if.... what if I let you in and it doesn’t work out?” Contemplating emerald hues swept the ground like a mop before making their way back to Elidi, Eyes flickered with emotion as they fought the urge to show it. She took a deep breath and sucked in her tears that formed. She dismissed the thoughts of losing her mother, father, and lover all because of being naive and trusting the unseen unfortunate outcomes. “Then you’re just another person I get close to, and lose.”

Her eyes searched the other for a chance to read the thoughts that were going through the womans mind. She feared of rejection and humiliation and almost preferred to be enemies than a temporary high, something she had been chasing over the last couple of decades since her father passed. A thumb massaged the inside of her palm, almost to distract herself momentarily while she debated what to say next or listen to what was to be said.

“If you want to call me a liar, or say that I’m playing games with you,or or... or say that I’m weak.... that I’m nothing like my sister then fine! So be it! I don’t care! At least you’ve heard my side of things.” Taking a few steps closer to insure that Elidi would take in her next words, she allowed the space between them to get uncomfortably close, “...But if you love her, you better be damn sure you’re right about it, because there’s no taking it back. Don’t make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions, and that’s coming from me, Elidi.”

Arms resumed back to their original fold as she awaited the response, almost anticipating a defensive response and the woman to walk away.

Thoughtful to Tamryn’s question, her scarred brow arched as she seriously began to ponder the notion. Elidi had never tried to move such a large body of water before, using only the moisture from the air, or if a body of water happened to be beneficial. That didn’t mean she was unwilling to try, a modest smile forming across her lips accompanied by a meek laugh. “Oh… perhaps I was getting ahead of myself. For you, Querida, I would try. It doesn’t seem that hard.” Her palms splayed across the sand as she sat back some, before laying fully on her back, bringing Tamryn down with her. The sand didn’t bother Elidi much and hopefully they’d wash the majority of it off in the water, eventually. The Alpha’s comment pleased her, delighted that Tamryn deemed her small gestures as romantic. Faintly a blush dusted across her cheeks, though it was mostly undetectable against her reddening skin from the heat.

“I am quite the patient person…. with most things anyways. You’ll always be my exception.” Elidi smiled serenely, her lids shutting from the suns bright rays blazing high above the pair. Her arm moved to drape comfortably around Tamryn’s shoulder and every so often her gaze would fall down to the redhead snuggled tightly into her side. Although Tamryn had told Elidi not to thank her as much, she couldn’t help feeling overwhelmed with gratitude. The Miami beach differed greatly from the one she was familiar with back home, it was beautiful. How could she not thank Tamryn a million times over?

As her eye’s open to the bright blue sky, an intense wave of emotion floods through her being, a euphoric, radiant impression to her senses. This was her element, and higher up than she could see resided a deity whom she mysteriously shared a connection with, and curled into her side was the woman she was profoundly in love with. Ocean water continued to draw in and out, wetting the soles of their feet as she silently stared into the cloudless sky, seagulls squawking as they soared above, and she only lay wide-eyed and thunderstruck.

Love. Not infatuation, adoration or lust, and while she had all these emotions for Tamryn she knew what she held for the Alpha was much more than all of those sentiments combined. Inside, her heart beats rapidly against her chest, mentally cursing herself for adding such a feat to the bracelets. Let alone the fact Tamryn had her head resting atop her breasts and could surely hear it herself with those heightened senses.

A nervous glance is cast down to the top of Tamryn’s crown, panic insuing as she contemplates her next choice of words heavily. Her lips part yet nothing follows, the words caught in her throat as she clamped her lips shut, visibly reddening down her neck. Another attempt is made, a raspy, “I lo-”, voiced into the air just as a sudden gust of wind kicks up the sand around them, droplets of water falling onto their bodies. Elidi’s hold on Tamryn only tightened, her opposite arm had moved to shield both their faces and she had shifted to sit halfway up. Lucent hues sought Tamryn’s blue gaze, the shift in the wind had altered her worries if only momentarily, bringing forth a new thought in its place. It felt selfish of her to say the words as Tamryn was doing something she was uncomfortable with entirely for Elidi’s sake, no longer deemed as the appropriate moment, Elidi wanted it to be infallible, with no stammering and no pasts traumas involved. Even if to the witch, this seemed like the perfect scenary. A chaste kiss is dropped to Tamryn’s forehead, the corners of her lips quirking upwards, a bit wobbly and nervous still, her gaze softening none the less, “Ah, I’m sorry, that was me - no sand got in your eyes did it?”

 The red head smiled as Elidi admitted that she may have been a big exaggerated when she spoke, the romantic notion still held it value to the she wolf none the less. Willingly she let the witch pull her down as well, naturally laying upon her chest like she would if they were within their beds she laid almost silent for a moment just enjoying the feeling of being in Elidi’s protective hold.

 “That is comforting considering you are like wise my only exception. I would break every law and pack rule to be by your side, always.”

 There was no need for her to explain her words for the way she stated them showed she was direct in meaning. Tamryn already had shown countless times Elidi held position within her heart above most others. It was almost an innate response from the she wolf, who was blind to the actual reasoning behind it.

 Content to just lay in her lover’s arms the alpha stayed silent and focused more so on the sound of Elidi’s heart under her ear rather than the ways that lapped at their legs. Finding a sense of comfort and peace in that steady rytym the she wolf closed her eyes and simply enjoyed the feeling of being in her lovers strong hold. There were few Tamryn felt safe in the arms of, and Elidi was one of the few people she got that sensation from.

 It was in the moment she was almost lulled to sleep by the even heart beat that she noticed it suddenly elevate. Not only had she heard the pounding in the witch’s heart she felt the intense emotion through the bracelet as well. The red head almost reacted but them remained still. For some reason the feeling she suddenly felt was entirely familiar and the fact she recognized it caused her to almost freeze in the moment as well. She remained still in the moment as she suddenly heard Elidi speak. She tensed hearing the phrase being but before her lover could finish a gust picked up and disrupted the words.

 The whole time Tamryn only tucked her head into Elidi’s chest more, allowing her to shield them both from the sand that picked up in the wind. She could still hear her heart racing, which caused her own hear to race. The she wolf could only focus on what she thought Elidi was about to say. Feeling the kiss placed to her forehead she leaned into it for a moment before catching Elidi by the back of her neck carefully in order to keep them face to face,

 “I don’t care about the sand, or the water right now, you..are you okay? Your heart is racing and I can feel, something intense coming from you...What were you going to say before the wind picked up, you what?”

"I doubt I do anything you'd find entertaining, or captivating." Elidi replied honestly while moving the sunglasses to the top of her head. At the mention of her older sibling, Elidi's brow arched, assuming it was safe to reply seeing as Jaylah went into the topic herself. Her attention shifted to the bracelet secured around her wrist, "Tamryn is busy, I don't spend all my free time with her, as much as I'd like too. Besides, my work schedule is always so chaotic, I never really know when I'm getting a day off anymore." She shrugged her shoulders indifferent to the matter, letting her gaze drift skyward once more. She loved her work and what she did specifically. Yet given the option she would like to spend a little more time with her favorite redhead. A faint smile crosses her lips at the thought, her hues dropping from blue sky to the lush green grass.

"That certainly seems true, we definitely lead very different lifestyles, so we tend to do a variety of things. I don't mind though, it is always an adventure." Not wanting to irritate Jaylah, she shook her head of the topic, flipping idly through the pages of her book. "Fortunately I do have a lot of hobbies that mend the gap inbetween, or work. Work does follow you home despite what other people say."

Finally her lambent optics reside on Jaylah, "You definitely seem to be in higher spirits, that is good."

Work does follow you home despite what other people say.”

Finally her lambent optics reside on Jaylah, “You definitely seem to be in higher spirits, that is good.”

‘Because you choose to not be around her or because you don’t have a choice?’ Jaylahs mind questioned though she kept her thoughts to herself. In her mind doing things together with her wolves meant always sharing the memory rather than having experiences alone. Of course there were moments that she enjoyed solitude such as the moment before Elidi had shown up, but that was only because Lupe was busy organizing her photos and Jaylah was being too distracting for her to get the work done and Tamryn was obviously busy as well for the time being.

The smile after the phrase caught Jaylah off guard and didn’t understand why a chaotic work schedule would cause a grin. She then concluded that maybe Elidi kept herself busy for a reason in place of spending so much time with Tamryn. The young wolf flicked her eyebrows and drifted her gaze in the opposite direction until the woman spoke up once more. Whenever the two spoke, Jaylah made sure to not make eye contact and focus on what was being said instead. She couldn’t help but notice the bracelet Elidi had been fidgeting with earlier while the brunette spoke. Not paying much attention to the detail other than recognizing it’s color and shape, she then looked elsewhere.

“That is what is great about being a wolf. Always an adventure. Wolves always leave a paw-print wherever we go.” The Reznikov said with high pride, almost hinting that being a werewolf was an honor, that of which Elidi wasn’t one. Jaylah squinted her eyes to prevent them from rolling when the older female said a cliche remark about work. She noted that Elidi liked to talk about her work which the beta fell silent to.

“Being in good spirits is what is giving you a day off, you’re welcome.” With that the confident rebel took the aviator sunglasses that rested on her head and tapped them to allow them to fall perfectly in place to the bridge of her nose to prevent being blinded by Elidi’s glowing eyes.

Noticing where Tamryn’s gaze lingered, her free hand moved to the slash on her face, digits pressing into the wound that had already begun to scab. “Oh… that. I’ll make a salve later to help speed up the healing process. I am contemplating wearing a mask from now on, to avoid any further injury to my beautiful face.” Elidi spoke in feign seriousness, barely finishing her sentence before she giggled amused by her own comment. “… It wouldn’t be a bad idea I suppose. Unattractive, but beneficial in other areas.”

Watching Tamryn lay back against the pillows, a blissful smile curved at her lips. How mystifying that yesterday, and all the confessions that came with the night seemed eons away. Words and actions of the past, actions she was willing to let go of, paths where Elidi hoped they would both not have to divert too again. Her brows furrowed in thought. Maybe she should make a promise to Tamryn as well. Her own misconduct could get the alpha in trouble all in the same.

Drawn from her thoughts, she nodded in agreement with the red heads words. “Ah I couldn’t have said it better. I think,” She began, rolling onto her stomach while moving closer to her companion, “We should relax if just a few minutes more.. then we can do some of this fun you keep telling me about.” Tamryn would never have to experience any storm conjured their way as long as Elidi could prevent it. Or… wasn’t the cause.

 Pleased with Tamryn’s answer regarding the jewelry, she shook her head firmly while pretending to zip her lips shut. Closing the gap between them, she pressed a chaste kiss to the wolf’s top lip. “It is a surprise, now that I am sure you’ll like it.”

 The she wolf gave her a look upon hearing the mask comment, letting her eyes dart to the wound once more she arched a brow, in equal sarcasm the red head commented,

 “While the idea sounds practical, though  I would rather you not cover up that beautiful face...There is a way it could heal faster but, its not exactly appealing to most. Well two ways really, both are not ideal to those who are not typically  Weres but..I would do either or for you if you wanted me to.”

Her gaze ventured about the room for a moment before the movement by her side along with the added suggestion from her lover caused Tamryn to recenter her focus onto Elidi. Smiling as just the sight of Elidi laying within her bed was already starting to be a sight the she wolf was growing fond of. Her brow lifted at the mention of the fun she had been insinuating and her eyes shifted from blue to their golden yellow, she leaned in to bring their faces closer as she let out a soft growl like purr,

 “Ne me menace pas avec un bon moment, don’t threaten me with a good time, after all, we really don’t have to leave this bed. Je peux penser à quelques raisons pour lesquelles nous ne devrions pas.”

 Her heated energy faded somewhat upon Elidi’s cute display of not telling her why she had been asked about bracelets in the first place. She let out a challenging yet playful growl as the kiss was placed to her lip, before Elidi could pull away Tamryn caught her bottom lip with her teeth and nipped teasingly as she released her lover only to give her a look,

 “Fiinne, I wont get you to tell me then, but only because I am curious now to see what it is you are planning. Just know, I only like the good kind of surprises.”

The corners of her mouth quirked upward, blue eyes twinkling with mirth as they scanned the redhead. “Oh, so now you’re my alpha? Do I take orders from you then? I haven’t seen my boss in a while anyhow… maybe she’s been transferred out.” The detective mulled over the thought while swirling the alcohol in her glass around before downing the little bit left.

“We’re trying this whole not killing people, right?” She spoke lowly out of precaution, but doubted anyone was even paying them any attention. The scenery was still eerily quiet since Tamryn had arrived.

Adroit digits tapped the countertop, while her line of sight stayed firm on the alpha. Part of Elidi just wanted to lean into her arms, and stay silently there. Though this was definitely not the place for that. The alcohol in her system flowed throughout her frame, warmed her veins pleasantly, enough to at least numb the memories. Enough to remove painful fragments from the past. “I wanted the alcohol… it is definitely stronger than anything I have at home.”

Elidi moved her hands into the pockets of her jacket, a decision already set in mind. “Soon, it will be an… anniversary of sorts.” She paused, her gaze finally breaking from Tamryn, “I’ll tell you but… not here, too many ears.”

“Up for a walk? A slow one at that… as I’ve had a lot to drink.” She gestured toward her empty glass, unaware of what number that rolled her into, more than five at least. Besides the silence had begun to get to her, the distractions desisting with their Alpha present. Not that she blamed them, or Tamryn.

While waiting on Tamryn’s response, she stood from the stool, searching in her pockets for some money to set onto the counter. Even that gesture seemed to sway her, her hands bracing against the tabletop to steady herself. The warmth in her cheeks has spread to her ears, neck, pooling in her stomach even. She definitely hit her limit long ago. “Well Red, I can still walk.” The witch voiced aloud, as if attempting to reassure both herself and Tamryn as she headed for the door, unsure where her legs would take her.

Soon enough she’s found her way outside the bar, a sigh emitting from her lips as she welcomes the somewhat cool air against her flushed skin. Outside there is the faint rustling of leaves in the trees, cars traveling in the distsnce and the faint hum of the crowds as they spoke amongst one another. A gentle ambience, appreciated background noise. Her hand clumsily seeks Tamryn’s, dragging the redhead down one of the lit pathways.

 Seeing and hearing the reaction to her words the she wolf arched a brow and remained silent as she gave Elidi that look of hers that read she knew damn well what the was being implied. Though she did smirk at the question of not killing, looking over to the witch she leaned in closer and hummed some before speaking softly,

 “So I can take orders from you in regards to not killing, but its a whole different game when I say I am Your Alpha. You know exactly what I meant, what benefit do I have in giving you orders?”

 Almost as if upon saying the words a few ideas crossed her mind but she didn’t voice them in that environment. Instead the red head narrowed her eyes onto her partner and gave her a wink. Seeing how Elidi suddenly seemed to sit up the Alpha arched a brow, tilting her head in a wolf like way upon being told there was an anniversary coming up. The flirtatious energy faded somewhat from the red head as she looked curious as to what the witch was speaking of.

 A fond smile broke her serious expression as Elidi suggested a slow walk. Letting out a light laugh she nodded while looking over  to the empty glass, though she herself was just barely starting to get a head change the idea caused her to wonder how long had the witch been there drinking before she had shown up. Seeing Elidi try to pay the she wolf caught her wrist and shook her head,

“This place is literally called the Pack Master’s Pub, despite how little I come here I still have rank, which means our drinks are free.”

 As Elidi swayed upon standing Tamryn slipped out of her seat and was ready to help her balance if need be. A warm smile upon her lips as she watched the witch proclaim how she could still walk Her eyes followed the woman she was smitten with as she shook her head some before looking over to grab the bottle and following her drunken lover outside. Meeting Elidi’s attempted grasp for her hand, the she wolf interlaced their fingers in order to not only keep up with but also keep the dark haired woman upright should she lose her balance.

 Taking another heavy swig from the bottle as she let Elidi lead her on. The Alpha signaled to her guards to stay there as she was pulled down the lit path way. The red head stayed thoughtfully silent as she simply watched her drunken partner with admiration even in her current state. Everything the witch did while this drunk only seemed to make the glowingly intoxicated wolf to swoon.

 After being trailed along for a bit the she wolf knocked back the remains of the bottle and dropped it into one of the trashcans along the pathway before she came up behind Elidi and while still holding onto her hand she wrapped her arms around her careful to not cause them to stumble and fall. Bringing her lips close to her lover’s ear she whispered

“Où allons-nous ma chérie, where are we going?”
