Introduction
This Roleplay is © by Rebecca Louise Davies.
Marked is © of Oli Lea and Rebecca Davies
We're strong in numbers for that is where our heart will always lye, within the company of those we love.
We're also strong on our own as long as we have that one person by our side, like any other, love defines us.
We are those who share the souls of wolves...
The playful term would be werewolves but no one cares for the petty names that have accumulated over centuries. We're immortal, we're indestructable...we're awfully bigged up. We live, we die just like any other.
We are born with the spirits of wolves within us. When the time is right...our wolves will make themselves known to us and we will shift for the first time but we cannot do it alone...
Being a wolf can have its perks but at the same time it can have its faults, life altering faults...girls cant shift without their mates...but what if they dont tell their mates in time...many things can go wrong...what if their mates fail to claim them in time...what if, what if...finding your mate is such a fragile business.
Not only that but some must face up to their responsibilities...
Some must learn to forget...
To forgive...
To understand...that sharing a life with a wolf isnt an easy burden.
--- ---
You'll be a wolf. Male or female the list will be below for the choices.
You'll be in a pack and the packs are vast!
The story line in the beginning is based around you and your mates and your pack life but other things will happen, a wolfs life is never dull.
There are rogues pushing at the borders...they want more...and they wont wait forever...
All pack members naturally live under the same roof, some moved into houses close by but the majority prefer to be close. Everything surrounding that house is their territory/ land.
[center]
[center] Things you should know (read)
Everything in the Pack house is presumably large because of all the people that live in it. It consists of: Everything a house is expected to have as well as a movie room, tennis court, basket ball court, pool, gym and a games room containing all the consoles and every board game under the sun!
Everyone has a suite with a double bed, flat screen and essentials.
Mates share a bond. At first it is not apparent but the female will always acknowledge who her mate is first. The male must wait until his mate tells him who she is. This can frustrate many males because sometimes their mates are shy, scared of being rejected or just plain dont know yet- the greatest fear is not having a mate.
Mate are your other part. In a mushy way they complete you. In the real sense they honestly do. They become your best friend, your lover and the other side to your soul. The protection and attraction you feel to your other half is beyond imagining! The day you realise your mate you cant imagine a day when you didnt know.
How it works
A female will realise who her mate is almost instantly when it becomes apparent. That is when the bond will begin to grow. They will feel an unearthly pull towards that male and will have an unchallenged love for them no matter whom they may be. You dont get to choose these things they just are as they are.
A male will remain clueless of whom his mate is until she tells him. However the longer the female knows about her mate and the more time they spend near eachother the stronger the bond will become ie. the pull will strengthen. Males will feel an unexplainable need to protect a female, they'll tell her things and wonder why on earth they did, they'll naturally bump into her more and more as their wolf naturally seeks her out.
A male's wolf will know who their mate is but the wolf wont utter a single word to him. He'll say things like "Shes near" but to a clueless guy "shes near" could mean anything!
When a female comes round to telling the male that she is his mate he will have to claim her (wink wink) to make it completely clear to their wolves and themselves that they are most definitely mates and that the male has accepted the female as his other half! Yay.
Males will then have to help their mates through their first shift. You see the females will not shift until they have a mate.
Males: Become aware of your wolves at age 6-7
As soon as you are aware of your wolf you will shift on the first full moon afterwards.
You'll grow up and you'll have the words of your wolf in your ears from then on helping you through life.
Females: You dont have quite the same luxury as the boys.
You will only receive your wolf when you recognise your mate and tell him. (So no voices for you till then)
Your mate must then help you through your first shift which will be on the first full moon from telling him.
If your mate fails at helping you in your first shift. You will die.
Your first shift is dangerous as you are releasing your inner wolf and by that i mean you turn into a wolf for the first time. Scary stuff.
Wolves are like a conscious muttering stuff in your ear. Sometimes it will telling you something it senses, danger, your mate. Othertimes it'll be giving you its unwanted opinion on something. You cant help acting in a more feral manor when you've got a wolf whispering in your noggin.
Shifting isnt a walk in the park otherwise why would there be risk of death?
First shift
On your first shift you recieve your wolf. You wont know what to expect on your first shift and therefore the pain tends to take you by surprise. You'll be experiencing bones, breaking, changing and dislocating in various places and that'll put the H in your Howl.
Males
When Males first shift anyone around them should try to help, usually your Alpha can sense when you're approaching your first shift so he'll be lingering close to you by instinct. Older males are called in around about the time young males are due to shift so that theres more help around when the time comes. Males tend to have a good resistance to the pain though it still hurts like something else!
Being at quite a young age you'd think you'd be more vulnerable to death but it seems in your youth you rely on adults more therefore you find it easier to take instructions from them and know that they're right without question.
Its even easier due to the fact that 90% of the time your alpha will be present and using his authority that ol' dog can save your life. (also helps with bonding and loyalty when your alpha aids your shift)
Are your wolves any help?
Surprisingly your wolves are of no help when you take your first shift, in fact in a way they hinder you and make the experience harder to handle. All they want is to be released and they'll be clouting in your ear to let them go regardless of whether you're ready or not. Thats why its so important to have others there to observe and help you, making sure you dont release your wolf before your body is ready. Releasing a wolf too early is like having a premature birth and it can and will kill you.
Females
When females first shift its all down to their mates to help them through it. Its all alittle more tramatic for a female and an almighty rush to the head to all of a sudden have your wolf's voice in your ear and the pain and pressure of shifting and having to trust your life into someone else hands, sometimes someone you hardly know! Their mates need to be strong and sturdy with them to make sure they dont cave in to the pain or their wolves inner voice in their ear.
Being older females can struggle to listen or pay attention to their mates, it helps if your mate is older because naturally instincts will suggest more experience but if your mate is the same age or younger even it can have a dramatic effect on whether or not you can accept their instructions when you feel like your spines being ripped out.
Females can easily turn quite selfish when they're going through their first shift. Due to pain and the suddeness their points of view can become one sided not to mention their wolves are very selfish when they first pop into existance- they cant even think what it might be like for their mates having to handle such a life-changing moment where if they fail the female rifling about in their arms, they'll be second in line for responsible of her death, and will lose their only partner after literally only having just met her.
Theres no sensing when a female will shift all you know is it will be on full moon, what time exactly on that date remains unknown so yeah..you'll be on tender hooks alittle. Just make sure she doesnt go into the bathroom and lock the door lads otherwise you'll be having a test of strength when you have to break it down.
The smartest, safest thing to do is tell your mate who he is as soon as possible before the next full moon so that you can prepare eachother alittle. Not always the case though with shy, reluctant females who let the little things worry them like: What if he'd rather have ''___'' as his mate?
Overall
For the first time you get weak, theres a bloodloss that seems alot to the eye but isnt essentially to the body though it will leave you feeling heady and light.
Guys your girls are going to be like puppies no matter how mature they seem usually theres no avoiding the refresh of being a wolf for the first time. They wont be small and fumbling around your paws like new borns but they'll be smaller than you (so careful), new to the world with heightened senses and well they wont know whats good for them unless you tell them.
Girls your guys are going to be pretty rowdy in their wolf forms, its natural so watch you back (literally)
Shifting always takes place on full moon. However in future shifting you may find you can shift slightly early from full moon if you wanted to but never later than full moon.
Future Shifts
Future shifts are still painful, but not to worry, being aware of what to expect takes away the stress and fear of the unknown, after a while your body will begin to numb towards the feeling out of being used to it but it will always involve pain- just a fact of life.
Will add more here about the Rp later...

Kurokiku wrote:Overall, this is a very solid RP with a cast of equally-solid writers manning the helm. Should werewolves and romance be your sort of thing, it's certainly worth a perusal. The mechanics were a little messy in places, and a few of you could benefit from taking just a little more time to proofread before you hit 'submit,' but it doesn't interfere with understanding the story. Especially with all the characters to contend with at the beginning, you guys did very well keeping track of who was doing what and making the necessary acknowledgments in your posts. I'd advise keeping OOC notes out of the IC though; it breaks the flow of the story pretty significantly even if they're just at the bottom in parentheses. Good job making characters that were all distinct from one another- sometimes a challenge with a cast as big as yours. If you're looking for ways to improve, I suggest slowing down a bit and allowing yourselves to really explore the sensory possibilities. You seemed to remember for the most part that your characters had good noses, but that doesn't preclude giving some detail to what they see and hear as well.

Tai didn't turn to look at Emmy as she asked the question. She stepped aside so Emmy could get a look herself. "Take a look. A rogue go into Kiara's room" Tai replied, she didn't exactly know all the details and hadnt been paying attention to the conversation going on in the room as she was too busy glaring at the rogue, incapable of hiding her disgust and anger. She waited a moment, staring at the wall with the same fiery glare she had been giving the rogue, before closing her eyes and breathing out heavily. "I'm sorry I went off on you today Emmy" she said quietly. "I was just scared...I've never handled rogues well" she added. "But any one of us girls could have done that, even me" She had almost forgotten to apologize with the distraction of the bonfire. Things hadn't seemed tense at all, maybe Emmy had forgiven her already or forgotten. But Tai knew it wouldn't sit right with her if she didn't apologize at all, and now just felt like the time to do it.

Cid merely nodded when Danti described Garett, clenching his jaw for whatever news the rogue might have. There was something less than sincere about his proposal to return the beta. But if there was even a chance Garett was alive - and Cid wasn't hopeful - then it was best to play the cards as they were dealt.
"If you can do that for us," he went on, "then we'll use the time you're gone to determine exactly what of yours we might have. And if there is anything, we won't keep it from you."
The alpha sense a rising anxiety that negotiations were reaching a crisis point; they would now either succeed or fail, and he was by no means certain either way. He could sense the increasing number of people gathering in the hall, but if the rogue made a sudden move he'd have to go through Cid first.

Emmy glanced down at the puffy quilt wishing she hadn't brought it with her until Tai mentioned a rogue. Emmy's attention became engaged despite having just dragged herself from slumber. Naturally she pulled the quilt tighter around her body with caution. Was it Jason. Waddling closer Emmy took Tai's space in the doorway amongst the boys and recoiled in horror. Her heart fell into a plummet of beats...was that a rogue. It couldnt be. Emmy struggled to place the baby faced boy from this morning with...that. It was hideous...it was...was.
The young girl gawped speechlessly in her tired state barely registering Tai's apology. "Tai-are-are we safe standing here" she barely whispered panic rising in her tone without her consent. Standing for a few more moments staring in at the man who knocked shoulders with Cid one of her hands brushed Adrians arm as a bid for comfort but she didnt recieve it. Everything about Adrian was tense, everything about about both boys felt dangerous and wrong. Emmy took Tai's hand in her own pulling her back from the door giving all the boys around her an anxious glance. "Come back to my room with me. Please. Please" she whispered hushly her eyes darting back into Kiara's dimly lit room wearily. "I'm scared" she confessed instantly surprised by how easily it rolled off her tongue.

Danti cocked his head to the side at the Alpha's 'attempts' at negotiations. Go away so they can think about it. Is he serious. Did Danti have peaceful tactics written all over his forehead. The dark haired rogue pretended to mull over the idea and consider it. His eyes wondering over those at the door once again. This house hold held alot of young, inexperienced wolves and the majority of them were all crowded into one spot. Right infront of him.
"Okay...but how about this. You give her to me now." He gestured to Kiara and paused. "Or I'll give you time to think it over after I've disposed of one of your kids over there...or maybe i'll pay a visit to your pretty wife while your discussing whether or not to hand her the fuck over to me." He snapped heatedly. He didn't have time for this. If he left now there was no knowing if he'd ever be able to get back in again.

Emmy's hand momentarily distracted him. He glanced at her. Her frantic whispers made him lose some of anxiety and pull the wolf further inside himself, though just barely. She was right though. Adrian felt stupid for not realizing it: three females in plain view of an aggressive rogue? He lowered his voice, sure that the rogue could still hear him but hoping it wouldn't really draw his attention. He let just a bit of dominance bleed into his words, hoping they wouldn't argue. "Emmy's right. Lets go to Cassidy's room. We're just going to get in the way."
His father could handle the rogue. Adrian would focus on getting the girls to safety. And where was Lux? He nudged Emmy with his shoulder, indicating she and Tai should go and take Mina with them. He made his way to Lux's room and peeked in. She was sleeping. He padded to her bed and slipped his arms under her, blankets and all. For once, he was glad she was so light - people tended to weigh more when they were dead asleep. He glanced outside into the hallway again to make sure nothing drastic had happened.

Mina glanced over as she heard other footsteps come down the hall. Her body was rigid with restrained anger but she visibly relaxed a part when she recognized another female. She gave Tai a short nod before turning back to the scene knowing the other girl would get it soon enough. She was glad that she wasn't the only one who was pissed that a rogue could come prancing in their house and their territory. She raised one hand to rub the back of her neck where the tiny hairs had stood up because of the initial shock and fear. She heard muttered voice from Tai and nodded in agreement. Another rogue indeed.
She had been so focused on the negotiations and the way the rogue presented himself that she almost jumped when she heard the familiar gorwl behind her. She snapped her gaze around to see Adrian, letting out his own anger through his wolf. Mina took a moment to recover before stepping back behind the male just out of the way so he could get a better view. It was then that she saw Emmy coming up the hall looking as if she had just woken up. Mina had to stifle a giggle for all the seriousness of the situation. She let Tai explain what was going on and steadily moved further back as Emmy went to look. She watched the girl's expression almost wishing that she could somehow comfort her but there would be time for that later.
Mina looked to Adrian as he seemed to rein in his wolf and speak with some intelligence that spoke of his dominant position int he pack. Mina huffed a small agreement and moved to follow behind the other girls even though her mind pushed her to stay within sight of the fight but she knew that Adrian was right. A rogue of that size would hurt a few people before they could subdue him. Mina scampered forward to stand beside Emmy and lightly touched her shoulder. "Don't worry. Cid can handle it. Kiara...Well she's strong." Mina attempted a smile.
She had been so focused on the negotiations and the way the rogue presented himself that she almost jumped when she heard the familiar gorwl behind her. She snapped her gaze around to see Adrian, letting out his own anger through his wolf. Mina took a moment to recover before stepping back behind the male just out of the way so he could get a better view. It was then that she saw Emmy coming up the hall looking as if she had just woken up. Mina had to stifle a giggle for all the seriousness of the situation. She let Tai explain what was going on and steadily moved further back as Emmy went to look. She watched the girl's expression almost wishing that she could somehow comfort her but there would be time for that later.

Tyler noticed with concern the growing number of people crowding the hallway. It was already a problem with just the two in Kiara's room, adding in the rest of these was just asking for trouble. As the rogue in the room made his taunt about killing one of the kids Tyler almost laughed out loud. The rogue was out-matched in every way. Cid alone could probably take the rogue but with him and Adrian to back him up there was no way the rogue would get what he wanted. At least that's what Tyler believed.
His wolf seemed to agree as it rose again, threatening to overwhelm him and transform there on the spot. Tyler quickly fought back the urge as an act like that would probably be seen as aggression and it'd be like lighting a match under a pile of dry leaves dosed in gasoline. He recovered his sense in time to realize that Adrian was beginning to gather up all the girls and get them out of the way. He nodded to Adrian to show he understood what was going on and stepped in front of the others, so it was his body blocking the others from the rogue after Cid's. The only issue was Kiara that was still in the room but his wolf advised him to avoid removing the girl from the room. Tyler wasn't sure why but the sense was there and he followed it.
Tyler wasn't as big as Cid but he was definitely far from frail. His habit of hiking and rock climbing had toned his body into a shape that hid surprising strength. Even so, Tyler was still glad he was only the back up to this situation and that Cid was the one ready to take the brunt if need be.

Cid's countenance darkened considerably at the rogue's reply. Threats of force were clearly all these rogues knew. Cid's body practically erupted with defensive instinct. If Danti was representative of his kind, then it made it all the more unlikely that the rogues would show any sort of reason or rationale, and would be all the more likely to attempt an attack. Even though this particular incursion seemed to be an individual endeavour, and that still intrigued the alpha...
"Sorry," Cid snarled, "but no deal. You're not taking anyone tonight."
He almost ordered the rogue to leave, but it somehow seemed redundant. This guy wasn't just going to be escorted off the premesis. And maybe there was some last hope that Kiara could say something to disarm the situation...but even if Kiara was willing, there was no way Cid would let her go until they'd made sense of it all.
He slid a foot back slightly, ready to either take an impact or else to charge. He shuffled sideways slightly as well. Lining himself up with the rogue and the window. If it came to the worst, that would make as good an exit for the rogue as any, but it looked like the big guy was pretty well braced for impact as well. To charge right now would more likely result in an epic brawl...right here in Kiara's room. Nothing about this was looking good....

Cassidy was out of bed and wrapped in a dressing gown already, with Cid's PDA in her trembling hand ready to send an alert to whoever was able to respond. Clearly something was wrong, she hadn't seen what but she'd heard voices and picked up on the scents, and chose to keep her distance so that if trouble broke out, it would get to her last and she'd have the most time to send the word for help.
He breathing was short and fast; as long as she'd been in the pack house (and bearing in mind that since she was mated to the alpha's son at the time, she'd never actually left and had been here since here early teens) there had never been an incident like this. The pack's size and confidence had been deterent enough.
But unknowing as she was about the size of the rogue Cid was facing, her concern was more that the house might be being encircled for a full on attack. She suppressed her dread curiosity about the specifics, and resolved to stick to her elected role as raiser of the alarm in case of need.
Her head whipped up as the first of the kids appeared in her doorway.
"What's happening?" she said with urgency.

Kiara finally found her words and was able to speak. "Everyone who is not experienced in fighting rogues must leave now. This is still my room and so I can still say who I want in it." She knew that the only hope of the rogue not hurting anyone was that they wouldn't be anywhere near him. She then turned to Cid and mouthed "I am willing. Even though your not." Then she turned to Danti and looked at him with what she hoped was one of the dirtiest looks she could give. Unfortuntly it wouldn't work well since she longed to be by him. "What has happened to the Beta?"
When she had finally finished speaking she took in a breath and knew that her hands were shaking. She didn't know why she was so nervous, fights like this usually hadn't scared her. But, of course, this was no ordianary fight with just ordinary people.
Kiara continued to watch Danti, she didn't like how she seemed to be a piece of meat to him.

Emmy didn't need much swaying to duck and take cover but she didn't want to go alone and lost the quilt in order to tug at both Mina and Tai to keep them close. She didn't care about obscenity, she'd never felt so much like a coward but being near that rogue, even though Cid was there. He was the Alpha and he was a great Alpha but he wasn't young anymore and she didn't feel safe. Kiara wasn't coming, she was acting like she was apart of the negotiation going on, Emmy was confused and she'd failed to shake off her exhaustion completely but she knew the first thing that came to mind was that Kiara was a fool.
What did she think she was doing standing inbetween Cid and a Rogue. Did she want to get hurt. Emmy knew she'd made a mistake today herself letting Jason in but Jason and that in the bedroom were on totally seperate scales. She felt anger mingle in with her fear as she saw Cassidy posed with a phone ready to alert the pack. "There's a rogue in the house" Emmy gushed anxiously. Did she feel tears pricking her eyes. "He's the same size as Cid-" She craned her neck to look back over her shoulder checking Adrian was behind them which he was; carrying Lux.
---
Danti let a growl rubble in his chest his body flinching noticibly as the change from man to wolf pushed its pressures upon him. All humour was lost to the moment. He wasn't used to being denied the things he wanted. The girl was only irritating him now, she was niave and outspoken the choice was never hers to whether she stayed or went. His muscles rippled in response to the Alpha and he gave his eyes to his wolf as the girl asked her last question. "Betas dead."
With that final grunt Danti advanced.

Jeff watched silently through the window, crouched low to the surface of the porch roof and staying motionless. He could see enough of Cid’s face to know that it wasn’t going well. His weight shifted backwards at the same time he saw the alpha adjust his stance, and waited like a spring-loaded projectile. When he heard the rogue say that Garett was dead, his ears flattened and his lips curled back, his black hair bristling along his spine.
Then it happened. An unmistakeable move of aggression. In his heart Jeff felt hesitant, but his wolf spirit made up the lack and responded within a fraction of a second of seeing the move. There was a shattering of glass as he launched himself forward, latching himself onto the rogue’s back and digging his claws in. The intruder’s back and shoulders were so broad that there wasn’t an easy natural edge to even try to snap at with his jaws, so instead Jeff simply clung on. There was no way he was gonna take this guy down by himself, but he was counting on Cid to step in and do the job.
But something went wrong. He felt a powerful grip on the scruff of his neck as the rogue reached backwards with terrifying agility for such an enormous male, and the next thing he knew he was flung to the side and hit against something with an almighty crash. The impact was like being hit by a freight train, and the air in his lungs was forced out in an impulsive, painful yelp, before the secondary impact as he dropped back onto the floor in a crumpled heap.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cid shook with raw determination which remained unspent as the rogue’s attack didn’t actually make it all the way to it’s mark. The window smashed inwards and the rogue became a frenzied whirlwind as he tried to dislodge his assailant, eventually succeeded, sending the black wolf crashing against Kiara’s wardrobe, which itself crashed inwards on contact.
The alpha wasted no time. Whilst the rogue was turned to the side, he lurched forwards, circumventing Kiara and leaning down low, hopping onto the bed to use it as a springboard and cannonballing himself into the rogue’s torso. He caught him completely off balance, and the two gigantic males were thrown straight through the gap where Kiara’s window used to be, landing on top of the porch, skidding across the rough pebbledashed surface and dropping onto the gravel driveway below.
It was in no way a graceful landing, and Cid felt his shoulder jar painfully as the impact separated the two males. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he clambered to his feet, and turned to engage the rogue. By this stage he had abandoned all hope that perhaps the intruder would simply turn and run. This guy was stubborn, stupid, and driven by the belief that his ‘mate’ was still inside the house.
Hoping to catch him before he was fully composed, Cid rush forward with a feral growl and drew his fist back to deliver a punch to the head and hopefully a quick K.O....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cassidy thinned her lips and nodded, ushering everyone into the room. She pulled Emmy alongside her and stroked the girl's hair reassuringly, even though the news she bore made Cassidy's heart sink into her feet. She also looked across at Tai, noting the surprising contortion of anger on her face.
"Don't worry guys," she said, "we're gonna be OK."
Her mind launched into the well rehearsed debate between her instinctual concern for her mate's safety, and the lucid knowledge that it was Cid's duty and fate to protect the rest of them whatever the consequences. Even so, she nearly jumped out of her skin as there was an almight crash of glass, followed by struggling, then a huge thud and crash of wood, a yelp, a growl and another crash as the skirmish seemed to move outside the house. Without any remaining doubt, she hit the 'send' icon on the PDA, and hoping that even after the summer bonfire a few people would have remained on standby. Cid's high alert was still in effect after all.
Dropping the device into the oversized pocket of her bath robe, she looked out of the window, but it was facing the wrong way for her to see what was going on. She wondered if it was worth taking everyone down to the safe-room, but if Cid and the rogue were outside then they were probably just as safe here in the master bedroom. All they could do now is wait.
Then with a sudden thought, she added, "Has anyone seen Kiara, Bobby and Jeff? Are they still in their rooms?"

Danti felt the air gush out of his lungs on impact with the ground the grit digging into his bare skin like glass and a garden gnome having barely broken his fall. The muscular youth staggered to his feet hastily though well aware he couldn't lay about, glancing at his hands he managed a whistle and shook away the balls of black hair entangled in his fingers. Too busy admiring the clumps of hair he'd snagged from the unlucky kid inside the Alpha flew at him with a fist, Danti didn't have the time to dodge the attack but caught the fist in his own with the same agility as shown before. He forcefully threw it away to swing his own fist up into the Alpha's abdomen a criminal sneer stretching wildly across his lips.
The Alpha doubled over and Danti snapped back a second fist flicking it out to hit the back of the Alpha's neck. The old wolf seemed to sense the death punch as Danti felt broad shoulders ram into his gut and two hands hug his thighs. The Alpha ran with him and rammed Danti into the side of an SUV. The rogue belted out a snarl feeling the pain casade throughout his back like a hot fire.

Emmy was soothed by Cassidy for only a short moment as a violent commotion broke out down the hall sending the entire pack into a frenzy of adreniline fuelled panic. At Cassidy's mentioning of Kiara, Jeff and Bobby Emmy feared the worst looking into the faces of everyone surrounding to see if they felt the same.

As the window of Kiara's room crashed inwards and Jeff came flying through Tyler sprung into action, dashing into the room and bundling Kiara out and into the hallway. "Kiara, find Cassidy. I know that's not what you want right now but that's what is needed. We'll straighten everything out the best we can soon, just please keep yourself safe." After saying that he turned back into the room sprinting for the broken window.
Tyler leapt on the bed and gave into his wolf at last, sparing only a passing glance at Jeff making sure he was still breathing before his wolf form was full and he was flying through the air and out the window, landing on the ground behind the rogue that was fighting Cid. Tyler dived forward and latched his teeth on one of the man's wrists with enough force to break a normal man's arm, the smell and taste of blood filling his nose and mouth. A vicious snarl escaped his lips and he held onto his grip with grim determination, with any luck Cid would be able to restrain the man's other arm and take him down that way.
Tyler's thoughts were almost entirely based on protecting his pack, disregarding his own safety and that desire over road his own fear but there was just enough focus left for Tyler to realize he was not in a safe position and he kept his eyes looking for a counter attack from the rogue, the view of what had happened to Jeff clear in his mind.

The gut-wrenching pain in Cid's stomach wasn't aided by the realisation of what he'd slammed the rogue up against; the hollow metalic 'thunk' as the door to the car buckled inwards and one window smashed. He quickly drew back, and then charged a second time whilst the rogue was still reeling in pain. He couldn't easily have accounted for how quick his opponent would recover, and although Cid's shoulder certainly found a mark on the rogue's hip, the rogue managed to use Cid's own momentum against him. A second window smashed as the alpha's head pummeled through the reinforced glass.
Cid almost blacked out as he stumbled back then rolled around onto the hood of the car. He fought to remain conscious and scrambled to upright himself, a burning halo of pain gnashing across the front of his forehead as blood trickled into his eyes. He let out a groan which turned into a roar....where was the rogue?
He spotted him walking into the open garage door and grabbing something off the bench...through a bloodied squint he made out the tell-tale hook and tongue of a wrecking bar...which in the blink of an eye was being brought to bear down on top of him. Lifting his feet off the ground he slid down the hood and onto the surface of the drive once again, hearing a sharp impact as the wrecking bar embedded itself in the bodywork.
Feeling his chest tighten, the age difference between the two males started to raise it's head. He was still dizzy from the head injury, and moved away slightly as he once again got to his feet. But the rogue wasn't coming towards him...he was heading back into the garage...to the side door which led...back into the house!!
But at that moment another wolf appeared...Cid recognised Tyler's distinctive markings. He saw Tyler latch on to the rogue's arm, and struggled back to his feet...but the whole world still seemed to be spinning....

Tai didn't want to hide, however she had little choice as Emmy grabbed her and pulled her along. She resisted by dragging her feet, pouting. She couldn't deny how scared she was but her hatred and anger was all she could express at that moment. She hated the rogue for getting in the house, she hated him for being a rogue but she was also angry at herself. She hated being so helpless, what she wouldn't give to be able to be a wolf like the guys. Maybe then she would be able to help everyone.
She looked behind them at Adrian carrying Lux, a little pang of jealousy returning to her like at the bonfire. Lux was asleep, couldnt they have just left her in her room? She almost smacked herself in the head at the thought, her jealousy turning into guilt. Lux was family too, she loved Lux like a sister and was one of the people she wanted to protect so badly. Leaving her in her room would just put her in unnecessary danger. Although she wasn't sure how Lux could sleep with so much going on.
Once in Cassidy's room, Tai just stood rooted to the spot for a while. Glaring at the doorway. She heard the smashing of glass, the grunts and growls of a brawl breaking out. What if more rogues came? Was Cassidy's room going to be safe or would they be cornered in the panic room? Tai began pacing vigorously. Waiting this out would be torture, her eyes glossed over with tears as she thought about the possible negative outcomes. Even if they subdued the rogue without losing anyone, people were still getting hurt.
She knew by now damage would have been inflicted on both sides. She shuddered angrily, her teeth clenched together and hot tears burned down her cheeks as she sat down on the ground hugging her knees in the corner of the room, flinching at the sound of punches and crashes outside, hoping no one would notice her melt down. She heard Cassidy mention Kiara, Bobby and Jeff, her heart sinking. Had Kiara been in the middle when the fight had started? She looked up at everyone else waiting for someone to say they were safe. Ready to bolt out the door and look for them if no one could confirm what she needed to hear.

Adrian moved past the girls in his parent’s room to lay Lux on the bed. He glanced up to meet his mother’s eyes and frowned: It might very well not be okay. Now, he was beginning to feel laces of fear twining through his anger. He didn’t doubt his father would win – his father had more drive and will power to keep going – but he didn’t know at what cost. The thumps and crashing sounds made him wince.
"Has anyone seen Kiara, Bobby and Jeff? Are they still in their rooms?"
“I’ll go look for them.” He replied, voice low, before he ducked out the door. Kiara, at least was easy to find. She stood in the hallway, looking both confused and determined. He approached her slowly and laid a hand on her shoulder. “Kiara? You should go to Cassidy’s room. Shes keeping the girls safe.”
He couldn’t imagine what of the rogues they might have, or why he thought it was in Kiara’s room. He stepped past her to take a whiff of the scents, but everything was aggression and rogue to his nose. He was vaguely surprised that only the thing broken was the window and wardrobe, until he noticed the dark form lying beneath it. The scent told him it was Jeff and a quick check told Adrian that he was still breathing. In a split decision, Adrian decided not to try moving him. If anything was broken, he might just make it worse.
A crunching sound and more breaking glass drew him to the window. The sight made his blood boil but as much as he wanted to go out, he was the last line of defense if his father lost or there were other rogues in the house. He had to stay with his females. He turned around and made his way to Bobby’s room. He was sleeping – the bastard could sleep through a tornado. With a grunt, Adrian lifted him up and made his way slowly to his mother’s room. Tai was pacing, looking more angry than scared. Adrian allowed himself a small smile – Tai had always been to the most antsy. Not as strong as Mina or as calculating as Lux, but still the most likely to jump into a fight. Adrian unceremoniously dumped Bobby on the bed next to Lux.
He met each of their eyes as he spoke, saving his mother for last. “Jeff is hurt in Kiara’s room. He is alive, but I don’t know the extent of the damage. Hopefully this lazy ass,” at this he slapped Bobby’s arm playfully, “wakes up soon and makes himself useful. We'll wait in here for now, but be prepared to make our way to the safe room if things get worse."
God, he would make a horrible alpha.
"Has anyone seen Kiara, Bobby and Jeff? Are they still in their rooms?"
“I’ll go look for them.” He replied, voice low, before he ducked out the door. Kiara, at least was easy to find. She stood in the hallway, looking both confused and determined. He approached her slowly and laid a hand on her shoulder. “Kiara? You should go to Cassidy’s room. Shes keeping the girls safe.”
He couldn’t imagine what of the rogues they might have, or why he thought it was in Kiara’s room. He stepped past her to take a whiff of the scents, but everything was aggression and rogue to his nose. He was vaguely surprised that only the thing broken was the window and wardrobe, until he noticed the dark form lying beneath it. The scent told him it was Jeff and a quick check told Adrian that he was still breathing. In a split decision, Adrian decided not to try moving him. If anything was broken, he might just make it worse.
A crunching sound and more breaking glass drew him to the window. The sight made his blood boil but as much as he wanted to go out, he was the last line of defense if his father lost or there were other rogues in the house. He had to stay with his females. He turned around and made his way to Bobby’s room. He was sleeping – the bastard could sleep through a tornado. With a grunt, Adrian lifted him up and made his way slowly to his mother’s room. Tai was pacing, looking more angry than scared. Adrian allowed himself a small smile – Tai had always been to the most antsy. Not as strong as Mina or as calculating as Lux, but still the most likely to jump into a fight. Adrian unceremoniously dumped Bobby on the bed next to Lux.

Danti's roar at the teeth meshing into his wrist was monstrous his pale wolf eyes widened at the dark haired wolf on his arm and the familiar scent of that damn boy filled his nose. The wreaking bar had been dropped at the unanticipated attack and had scattered under the car but Danti was on fire, lifting a fist he brought it down on the wolf's head once, twice before ramming the beast into the back end of the car smashing the rear lights and crumpling the bumper. It freed his wrist and left him with a chance to break the dogs neck with a slam but it was no longer just the alpha and the kid he had to be concerned about- a few extra male members he hadn't scented in the house were sprinting towards the garage opening.
Reinforcements he calculated grimly.
Danti bolted towards a door at the back of the garage and tore it open bringing it shut behind him with his good hand hearing the splinter of a wood pane and the complaint of hinges. Back inside the house. Danti busted through the bottom floor of the house like a bull in a china shop. Clambering up the stairs his jaw was gritted deathly tight. He was going to get that girl.
Once on the landing he saw the remainder of the pack hundle together in the end room the Alpha's mate amongst them all. Danti glanced down at his bleeding wrist feeling the woosy effect it was having as his wolf's eyesight began to jerk and waver. He sneered wildly at the one male standing amongst the females his black eyes merciless and predatory.
Taking two weighty, strategic steps towards the horde Danti was forced to stop as one of the male reinforcements he'd seen sprinting towards the garage moments ago stepped out of a bedroom just ahead having climbed up the roof and ducked in through the hole he and the Alpha had made.
The male seemed startled to see the rogue up close and Danti took the surprise as an opening. Throwing a shabby punch he caught the man in the cheek sending him off balance. Acknowledging those on the stairwell the rogue snagged handfuls of the mans clothes and swung him round sending him reeling down the staircase to meet those coming up.
Danti's time was up. Before long the house would be teeming with more experienced males and he was tired and unsteady from the wrist wound. Jabbing a finger at the blond girl he managed to snarl out a promise he intended to keep. "I'll be back for you" he slurred breathlessly before breaking into the room with the open window. Exiting the house the same way he got in Danti skidded down the roof and jumped at the end landing with a soft pang up his thighs. Running towards the forest he burnt the soles of his feet on the embers of the dying fire whilst dragging his t-shirt up and over his head to wrap it around his wrist on the go.
On reaching the edge of the forest he sent an irritable kick at the dead Beta laying at the bottom before disappearing into the darkness with a pack male or so reluctant to follow him any further up the garden than halfway.

Tyler's eyes popped back open after he blacked out for a second, the taste of blood still in his mouth and the fury still raging inside him. He clambered back to his feet still in wolf form and stood a little unsteadily. He looked over at Cid who seemed to be in almost a daze and then heard crashing going on through the house. His body was almost entirely made of pain but he forced himself to chase after the rogue, starting at a shaky run and then into an all our sprint once his brain cleared a little bit. He did a check of injuries as he ran and nothing seemed to be broken but his back right leg was causing him some unusual problems and he didn't want to put pressure on it.
He ignored it as best he could and followed the trail of blood from the rogue through the house, sparing a look for the females gathered in their corner and making sure they were ok. Not seeing anything other then natural fear he sped along the trail, tracking the rogue to his entrance and now his exit point and he looked out as he saw the rogue sprinting for the woods.
As Tyler realized the rogue had left all the pain he had been shoving away came hurtling back and he collapsed on the floor as he returned to human form, groaning at the change as it stretched already wounded limbs and cuts. He cried out as the pain in his leg came rushing through and he realized it actually probably was broken and running on it like he had certainly hadn't helped. With a wry grin he realized his hiking days were probably over for a bit but even so he hobbled to his feet, letting all the weight stay on his good leg and hobbled over to Lux's bed, grabbing a blanket to cover himself up before he hopped down the stairs and to where Cassidy and the others were holed up.
He wiped a bit of blood of his face and gave them what he hoped was a confident grin, "Everything ok in here?" he asked before he realized he'd lost more blood then he had expected and sat down heavily on the floor as his head went a little loopy. "We...chased him off. I do not want to do that again anytime soon however." he said with a slight chuckle.

Cid was too slow getting to take advantage of the opening Tyler created. Something was driving that rogue above and beyond the physical limitations of his body...and it was as thought his body was very tightly limited. Just as Cid was getting to his feet, the monster of a man had broken inside and the alpha could hear the clattering of objects being arbitrarily knocked aside.
Rushing in, he caught sight of a heel disappearing up the stairs. Cid made his way to following, nearly bumping into two other males from town who had evidently come in through the front door. Cid nodded at them without a word, and bid them to following him up the stairway. unfortunately their progress was interupted by a third male sailing down, tumbling painfully on several steps before Cid broke the rest of his fall. The man at Cid's feet groaned in pain...but there was no time to lose. The alpha charged up the remainder of the steps. There was a glimpse of the intruder darting into Lux's room. Cid panicked...was he after Lux now? Was he determined to take Kiara...or would he grab any female?
Wasting no time, Cid burst into Lux's room...but the rogue was nowhere to be seen. Neither was Lux. Tyler was , staring through Lux's window which was open wide. He didn't need to say anything. The result was apparent enough; the rogue had escaped. Which was fine, Cid thought. After everything that happened, the only important thing was that the threat was gone.
Panting heavily, the strengthening numbness of the adrenaline started to give way to the overwhelming aches of the bruises all over his body, and in particular the gash on his head from where he'd been put through the car window.
He turned and headed into Cassidy's room where everyone was gathered. On his way he saw one of the town males tending to the injured one who'd been thrown down the stairs. The last one seemed to have given chase to Danti...but there was no way anyone was gonna catch the rogue with the head start he'd managed to give himself.
On seeing her mate, Cassidy let out a whimpering sigh and flung herself forwards, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. Cid winced painfully, but nevertheless embraced the female wholeheartedly, communicating with every fibre of his being that he was safe now and so was she, and everyone else. He held onto her as he looked around at each other individual in turn, breathing heavilly and nodding. His expression was not quite a smile, but there was a discernible sense of relief there...
Tyler came in behind him and, much to his relief, gave the verbal explanation that he himself didn't quite have the breath to give yet.

As soon as Jeff came to, he wished he hadn't. He hadn't died...he just felt like he had. His head throbbed internally, but one side of his face was just numb. He tried to roll onto his side, and a sharp pain ran up his right arm, originaing in his wrist. It was broken...no doubt about that. He didn't remember shifting back into human form...it must have happened while he was unconscious. At least that was a small mercy. A greater mercy would have been if the shifting process could have reset broken bones, but apparently he just wasn't that lucky.
He could make out voices down the hall...there was Cid, Tyler, a couple of the girls. The sense of urgency seemed to have gone. The rogue's scent was still strong in the house, but the lack of commotion indicated strongly that he had either been seen off or somehow subdued.
Meanwhile, Jeff was especially feeling the draft coming in from the windows which was smashed to the point of having almost no remaining glass...and even the timber frame had been partially dislodged. The room was a mess. He had no idea how long he'd been out of it...and in particular how long his completely naked human form had been laying on Kiara's bedroom floor. A sudden concern for modesty overruled his impulse to just lay on the floor and ignore the pain. He eased himself up onto his feet, looked out of the door both ways to check there was nobody in the corridor, then darted for his room - which was only two doors down - to grab a pair of beach shorts. His right hand was complete useless, so it was a struggle to get them on one-handed. So much effort that he didn't bother with a top, and instead went back down the hall to Cassidy's room, where a scene of forlorn relief greeted him.
Cid was rather well roughed up, Tyler was limping badly. Jeff caught a look at himself in the full-lenth mirror doors of Cassidy's wadrobe. In addition to the broken wrist, the right side of his face was swollen and there was an impact-laceration running down in front of his right ear. The throbbing was like nothing else. He had no idea what had happened since he'd attacked the rogue, but he wondered if anyone knew that he'd bee knocked out cold. He felt like a bit of an idiot to have been unconcious while whatever battle took place...
Sheepishly he stepped into the room, holding his right fore-arm with his left hand to minimise movement. He looked across at Kiara.
"Well..." he said with a gulp, "...the good news is that wadrobe won't be giving you any more trouble."

Emmy deflated into a heap of relief at all the boys being present, as battered, swollen and broken as they all look they were in summary- okay. Emmy had never experienced so much stress in all her life in such a short spasm of time.
Filled with impulse and purpose the girl stalked up to Jeff with a look of determination that suggested she might be about to deal him another injury for being such a reckless fool. Getting himself tangled in a fight between Cid and a Rogue she wedged either side of his cheeks with two hands and dealt the idiot with a smacker right on the lips. It was a quick, embarrassed one but she managed to blurt out through a rouge blush that Jeff was the biggest idiot she'd even lain eyes on, he looked bloody awful with that swollen face but she liked it anyway.
She then hastily darted for the bathroom after realising that all the excitement and drama had taken a negative turn on her bladder and if she didnt hurry she was about to embarrass herself a whole lot more.

(Sorry just got back from school)
Kiara wouldn't look at anyone and she wouldn't say anything. She just followed her eyes to where the rogue had run off to. She surprised herself when she said "I found the Beta. Hes laying at the edge of the forest." Then she went into her room. Knowing she wasn't going to be able to stay there she went into her desk drawer and grabbed her diary and her purple pen. Sucking in a breath she hoped no emotion would show on her face. "If you don't mind, I'd like to be by myself. I won't leave the house. And I'll be in the kitchen." And with that she headed down the stairs and trapped herself in the Kitchen and sank into the hole between the fridge and the counter.
The sobs came and she let them. The only reason her cries weren't loud were because she kept her arm in her mouth. Otherwise she didn't care she just stayed put and let the tears fall.
She didn't understnad if she was crying because of how scared she was or if it was because of how she had felt with the rogue. Her chest hurt and her head was dizzy but she kept herself from thinking about what had happened. Instead she opened her diary and started to read about her nightmares.
*His eyes glowed as he glared at me. But instead of looking to kill me, he seemed to be intrigued... almost interested in what I would do. It was like a game of cat and mouse and I was the mouse. Everytime I tried to run he would simply put his hands out, like he was going to give me a hug. Which worked since I would go back to the corner in which I was trapped in. He had me. I was stuck and yet I wasn't scared.*

Mina stood in the room watching the girl's fret over the rogue. While they talked to release their anxiety Mina only paced back and forth, pausing once to stare at the door before starting up again. So many questions ran through her head and it almost made her dizzy enough to wanna sit down but her body protested with the need to get rid of the anger that flowed through her veins. Generally she was very peaceful but when her family was threatened, and she could do nothing for them, it pissed her off to an extreme.
Pausing once again in her pacing she looked to Cassidy when she mentioned the other members of the family. She blanched realizing that in her anger she had forgotten all about them. Darn! She was about to volunteer to go out but a low voice came from Adrian. She watched him leave while her knuckles tightened. Adrian could help because he could defend himself. I don't have my wolf yet. I'm not even sure who my mate is. I hate this. She scowled and shook her head a few times to clear it before starting up the incessant pacing again.
Startled, she snapped her gaze towards the door with a fierce glare only to see that Adrian had come back with Bobby in hand. “Jeff is hurt in Kiara’s room. He is alive, but I don’t know the extent of the damage. Hopefully this lazy ass, wakes up soon and makes himself useful. We'll wait in here for now, but be prepared to make our way to the safe room if things get worse.” She let her gaze flicker over the sleeping boy before sighing tensely and nodding in slight resignation. She turned her head away from the sight of the pack to watch the window wearily. She could still hearing the sounds of scuffle somewhere near the house and it made her mind blank as her body ached to find some way to get her family to safety. After her own had done what they did she felt that this new family was more precious. Tears brimmed in her eyes, stinging with frustration before she swiped them away hurriedly.
Mina let out a small noise of relief when she saw Cid come through the door still standing. if not a bit rough around the edges. If he was alright then the rogue was gone and they were probably safe. She let her eyes wander in anticipation for the others who should have come in after the Alpha. She got her wish even though it was sorely taken when Tyler and Jeff came through next, one after the other. She stepped forward to come towards Tyler who had collapsed to the floor. "We're fine. Are you sure your okay though? Do you want some help?" Her worried eyes skated over his body before she shifted to give a glance towards Jeff who looked even worse. One rogue can do all this? She shuddered with fright at the thought of all the rogues coming together. A nightmare that would definitely scar.

Jeff's face fell a little as Kiara simply walked out past him. Perhaps it was too soon for making light of what had happened...but in truth he'd only done it to cover his own embarassment. His head turned back to centre in time to see Emmy marching towards him purposefully and in such a way that he actually winced a little in anticipation of a slap or something. And indeed the burning on his face did flare up when she cupped his jaw with her hands, but all pain was quickly and momentarily forgotten when she surprised him with a kiss.
He just stared at her in stunned silence as she ranted at him somewhat less than lucidly, before hastening out onto the landing. (It was only at this point it registered that she was semi-naked...which somehow didn't seem entirely off-kilter for Emmy...she did get herself into some predicaments...) When she was gone he finally exhaled with a mixed chuckle, shaking his head in amazement with a broad grin carved onto his face and a fuzzy warmth in his stomach. He quickly scrubbed the grin off when he noticed eyes on him, and shrugged.
"What?" he said, then pointed at Tyler. "He fought too, why am I the idiot?"

Bobby had woken just long enough to grunt and turn over when Jeff had burst into his bedroom in a panic. He'd had a few drinks too many at the bonfire, and he was a deep sleeper at the best of time - he'd managed to sleep through years of history classes, anyway. He's vaguely aware of noises coming from out in the corridor and down the hall, but quickly convinces himself that someone else will go check it out and promptly falls into a half-sleep.
It's not until he feels himself fall and land with a thud that he fully wakes. He sits up, rubbing his eyes...he had dreamt Adrian had carried him like a baby, that had been weird, to say the least.
He glances to his side as something stirs and sees Lux, asleep. What had happened? Maybe he'd had more to drink that he'd originally thought...
He feels someone slap his arm and starts, frowning up at Adrian, "It's the middle of the night, you dickhead" he complains bitterly, batting the other boy's hand away, "And don't you think we're a bit old, and male, for a bloody pyjama party?"

Arcs are bundles of posts from any location, allowing you to easily capture sub-plots which might be spread out across multiple locations.
Add Quest » Quests
You can create Quests with various rewards, encouraging your players to engage with specific plot lines.
Add Setting » 1 Settings for your players to play in
Settings are the backdrop for the characters in your universe, giving meaning and context to their existence. By creating a number of well-written locations, you can organize your universe into areas and regions.

Collectibles
By creating Collectibles, you can reward your players with unique items that accentuate their character sheets.
Once an Item has been created, it can be spawned in the IC using /spawn Item Name (case-sensitive, as usual) — this can be followed with /take Item Name to retrieve the item into the current character's inventory.
Mobs
Give your Universe life by adding a Mob, which are auto-replenishing NPCs your players can interact with. Useful for some quick hack-and-slash fun!
Mobs can be automated spawns, like rats and bats, or full-on NPCs complete with conversation menus. Use them to enhance your player experience!
Current Mobs
No mobs have been created yet.
Spawns
Locations where Mobs and Items might appear.
Events
You can schedule events for your players to create notifications and schedule times for everyone to plan around.
Orphanage
By marking a character as abandoned, you can offer them to your players as pre-made character sheets.
