The Vampire's Witch

Sparring with Drae and Talking with Molly

Valentina sighed watching the two vampires argue with each other, "They don't share well." She pouted at the blonde vampire leaning over to caress his arm, he growled at her.

"This is your last warning Val." His eyes flickered gold and she pulled her hand back, "Fine William. I won't ask again, but remember the wolf hasn't been marked." She stood leaving the room, Will leaned and smiled at Star. He was on edge being around so many vampires and it was a true snake pit dealing with his clan, things could be calm one moment and quickly dissolve into chaos the next. He didn't want his mate in anyone's cross-hairs, or friendly fire.

"Can we go watch the wolves sparring?" Star looked at Will pushing her bangs out of her eyes, she could sense her mate's anxiety. The blonde nodded at his mate bringing her hand to his lips and placing a gentle kiss on the palm of her hand before pulling her up with him and heading towards the door.

The pair headed down the hallway, hands clasped as they made their way outside.

Star and Will stepped out into the moonlight heading towards the group of wolves standing around the outer edge of the perimeter in a rough circle. Zane stood in the middle of the group, shirt stripped off and tossed to the side circling a lithe female werewolf wearing a pink tank top and black shorts. Her blue hair shimmered in the moonlight, lavender eyes narrowed as she lashed out at the green and blue-haired wolf. He lunged to the side easily avoiding her claws and kicked his leg out catching her in the back of the knee, she went down to her knees before bouncing back to continue circling her sparring partner.

Lawson and Graham were watching from the sidelines, studying the fighting style of this new wolf in their territory, talking amongst themselves.

"He's very good, I've never seen someone get past two hits with her, and he took out the other warrior easily." One dark wolf said to another loud enough for Star to overhear their conversation. "Drae is going to be pissed, she was looking to be a third and this might knock her out of the running if he joins the pack."

Star looked over at the blonde vampire, he barely shook his head letting her know that that wouldn't be happening, Zane would be staying with him unless the wolf decided otherwise. She nodded trying to suppress a smile of relief at not losing her friend.

There was another hit of flesh against flesh followed by a roar as the blue-haired wolf shifted. Pink tank top and black shorts shredding as her body shifted into that of a gray wolf, she snarled and lunged at Zane. He quickly dodged her attack as Graham called the round, telling her to back down.

"I've never seen Drae get mad enough to shift in a sparring match, it means he won." One of the wolves beside Will commented as they watched the wolf turn snarling and stalk back towards the pack house. A few of the others followed her as Zane stayed behind grabbing his shirt and slipping it back on. Sweat dripped from his forehead as he walked over to Star and Will, he smiled riding the thrill of victory.

"Nice moves wolf." The blonde vampire complimented the shorter man, "Next time go after her right side faster, she favors her left." Zane nodded still smiling at the pair as the Alpha came over to talk with the trio.

"Spar with us anytime you feel like it Zane, my warriors can always use the practice of going up against a strong fighter such as yourself." Zane nodded fingers going into his hair to push it back, "Thank you, Graham. I appreciate it, it felt good to get that out of my system." Graham smiled before being called over by a member of his pack.

Will lead the pair towards the kitchen, once there Zane went to the fridge to grab a bottle of water for himself and one for Star as well. Handing one to her he quickly opened his water before draining it down quickly and heading back to the fridge to grab an orange juice as well. Another wolf walked in and asked if they were hungry before heading over to the fridge to whip up a late night snack for herself as well as Zane.

She sat and talked with them, over chicken sandwiches and Will stealing chips from Zane's plate. She introduced herself to the group, her name was Molly. She was a cute sixteen-year-old with black hair cut into a bob and thick square shaped glasses covering her blue-brown eyes.

Star listened in even more closely when they started to talk about the zombies, realizing that things had started happening over here at least before they arrived home. "Alpha pulled all the teens and kids out of school once the reports came in, it was so weird we have always got pretty normal reports from the neighboring packs. Then suddenly bam, a dead guy that had his neck snapped came to life and tried to attack another pack member. Then the undead kinda takes over our home as well, I mean I get that there's a treaty involved and all." The girl babbled on reminding Zane of Star when she was younger.

Molly blushed noticing the three of them staring at her, "I'm sorry, how rude I must seem. Tell me about yourselves, its so rare to see a trinity in action. You guys seem so well balanced, I figured there would be more infighting between the two dominant personalities, but you guys seem so normal."

"We're not a trinity pup, the wolf is our friend." Will told the teenager, who rapidly started apologizing for her mistake.

"I've known Zane since I was a child and he's always been around so it makes sense that we're in sync. He was my twins best friend before he passed away." Star added looking over at the blue and green haired wolf reaching over to give his hand a gentle squeeze. Zane smiled at the witch, squeezing her hand back gently before finishing off the rest of his sandwich.

"You're a twin that's so cool. I'm sorry about him passing away but I've never met someone who was a twin before, what's it like?" The young wolf asked seeming to have no sense of boundaries. The redhead yawned before smiling at sad smile at her, "Maybe we can finish our conversation another time, I'm so wiped out and if I'm not mistaken the sun should be rising soon, so we all need to tuck in. It was nice chatting with you, Molly." The wolf, witch, and vampire bid the young wolf good night before making their way towards their room, each with a lot on their hearts and minds.
