Aziel felt impatient as he waited for Phoebe to return to the van. She was speaking with Russell who appeared to be staying behind to track down Eve and Charlie. A small sense of relief washed over him as he listened to their conversation. He could trust Russell to track them down, the scent wouldn't go cold, however it did bother him a little. If he knew his father, a situation like this meant no one should go anywhere alone.
Phoebe gave Russell instructions before getting back into the van. He felt the jolt of the car as she slammed closed the door and hit her foot on the gas.
"Hang on Aziel, its going to be a bumpy ride" she informed him as he felt his body move in motion with the car around bends. He winced as his leg hit the side pain shooting through his leg but held it in.
It wasn't long before Phoebe swerved into the parking lot of the pack house not wasting time to get out and inform his father of the situation. As she did step out he heard her order Jared to help him out of the car.
Aziel snuffed his wolves wet nose at her comment. He wasn't incapacitated that much.
Gravel crunched as Jared walked towards the Van clicking open the boot to reveal Aziel's overly large wolf form.
”You gonna shift or what?” Jared raised an eyebrow at Aziel before pushing back his glasses.
Aziel raised his lip to show his canines in response at Jared before snorting. Jared was one of the few wolves who didn't paddy foot around Aziel and his attitude. Ultimately it gave Aziel respect for the guy.
”Oh come on, i'll help if you need it” he smirked at Aziel amused at his stubbornness.
Aziel rolled his eyes before shuffling his position in the car. Shifting when injured was worse than changing healthy. The pain on his leg was going to be horrific, however his muscles still flinches every now and again so the change was probably going to hurt him more on all of his body. It hesitantly paused for a moment before mentally preparing himself for the change.
Calming his mind Aziel took deep heavy breaths and relaxed all of his muscles a numbing sensation began to prickle over his skin as the shift began to take effect. His fur pulling back into his skin, then suddenly the immense pain he had dreaded shook throughout him as his bones began to break.
Jared waited seeing Aziel began to shift as a flash of blonde hair strided towards him. Looking up Jared met the gaze of Silver. “Good to see your back Silver, could have been at a better time though” Jared sighed rubbing the back of his head.
Aziel suddenly coarsely howled as his body felt like red hot coals were steaming on his skin. His howl changed into a cry as his human vocal cords developed his fingers re-breaking back into place. Biting his lip he bared the pain for the remaining few seconds as his body shifted back into a human.
Flexing his fingers he panted pain still tingling throughout his body. It was the most painful shift he had ever experienced. He was going to kill anyone he saw with a fucking taser.
Looking up at Jared Aziel moved and began to step out of the van before noticing Silver, his skin was bare but he felt no shame. Wolves were accustomed to nudity, as least wolves who had already shifted were, he didn't often think much about it after years of shifting with pack on a full moon.
”God damn that looked intense” Jared whistled
”Trust me it was” Aziel said as he went to stand. However, as he put his full weight on his legs he felt his leg slip from beneath him unable to take it as pain shot through, the bullet digging into his wound.
”heeey hold on there” Jared quickly moved to grab Aziel wrapping his arm around his shoulders. ”I'm here to help” he pointed out.
”I'm fine. I don't have time for this crap” Aziel tried to shove Jared away but Jared didn't break.
”Sureeee you are.” he said sarcastically. ”what happened?”
”Humans. They raided the bar, came fully prepared and somehow knew our weak spots. They stank of Rogue” the anger in Aziel's voice could be heard as he spoke. Thats when he noticed Silver the pain from his shift slowly evaporating.
”Keep your wits about you. They only took Eve and Charlie for a reason, I not sure why, but they didn't take Phoebe so it isn't because their girls. The only reason I could think of on the drive here could be because they haven't shifted yet. So you may be a target too.” Aziel met Silver's eyes his expression and voice showing how serious he was.
There were children in the pack who also hadn't shifted yet. He hoped he was wrong for their safety.
”Aziel. Change and have Dana dig out the bullet then head after Russell. Silver stick close to Phoebe and Aziel. No pack member is to be alone at any point. We are officially in a red situation.” Jason's voice hollered across the drive from the porch.
Aziel looked up to his father whilst leaning on Jared. For once in his life he fully agreed with his father wishes. It was a strange feeling, but watching his father speaking calmly Aziel could see the anger that flashed in his expression. He wanted blood.
”Red..” Jason mumbled more to himself than anyone. Aziel looked up to him feeling Jared Stiffen under his arm. He was afraid, for his mate and little girl.
”Don't worry. I'll protect them” Aziel mumbled back to him. Jared wasn't a strong fighter, it wasn't in his nature to hurt someone. But it was Aziel's, if his strength was good for anything if would be protecting his pack. ”No matter what i'm going to get them back” he said before stepping forward towards the house.
Jared tightened his hand on Aziel's shoulder. ”'we're' going to get them back” Jared spoke sternly.
