❝Don't bite your lips,❞ Adonis whispers, his eyes raking over my body before he moves his soft lips to the edge of my earlobe; his canines teasing the sensitive skin. ❝I already told you Farah, that's my job.❞
Months ago, the Alpha of the 7th Leg...

MY HEAD EMERGES from the water as I gasp for air. The cold and cool air around me tickles my skin as I catch my breath. My wet hair stuck to my back and the blue water streamed calmly around me as if I was nothing but a hallow object blocking its path.
My clothes laid not far from the stream, settled on the grass a few feet away from me.
I look at the sky in slight awe. The blue pigmentation began to somber and darken indicating nightfall was near. I take a shaky breath before heading out of the lake and grabbing my towel that laid near the edge and drying off my body.
Quickly I put back on my denim shorts and my white T-shirt before looking around and making sure the coast was clear.
I sigh in relief at the fact that I was not followed and proceeded to slip on my shoes. "Thank the moon goddess." I breathe out.
"Farah," A deep chuckle arose in the air causing me to do a double take.
My eyes narrowed as they fell on those familiar brown eyes. Xavier's brown skin glistened as the dimming light focused on him. A smug look was prominent on his lips as he chuckled some more.
"I swear to-" I couldn't even finish my sentence before I stormed over to him. Clutching his shirt in my hands, I scowled at him with threatening eyes. "What exactly did you see?"
Xavier's tall frame toward over me, so I knew my threat wasn't much intimidation to him. He removed my hand from his shirt before a sly smile grows on his pink lips. "Calm down, I didn't see anything. But from how wet your hair is, I can tell you took a dip."
My cheeks began to heat up in slight embarrassment before I look away from his bright eyes. "...Sorry." I muttered.
He sighs before looking over at the lake. "Farah, when are you gonna stop? He isn't coming back."
I scoff. "He's our Alpha, he will always be. One day he'll be at the stream...just like he said he would."
Xavier's eyes meet mine once again and my body began to grow nervous. We were just friends...or that's what I thought but lately many of our boundaries have torn down.
"Look, I care about you and I don't think the rest of the pack members would be approving if they find out you're spending a lot of your working hours here. If he comes back...then he does but right now he left us to rot and it's up to us to take care of ourselves."
It has been months since Alpha Venison chose to leave but when he left he said he would come back. He said he would be near the lake.
No one knows exactly why he left or where he went but we all have our theories. Now, our people are starving and our warriors are losing their numbers.
