wolf tales

[shylohs_man]

I sat in my home just watching the television as the little pups from the rest of the pack ran around just being chinldren,unaware that this night would change my life forever.
My name is sallos and I'm pack alpha with a 100 acre land plot with a fairly large home inside its neatly kept fences and some wooded areas near by. It was a strong pack that was made up of wolf hybrids and full blooded wolves, I myself am a wolf-demon.
It was a nice warm and calm spring night and the pack had been having fun and slightly partying as a stranger came to our door and over powered the males and tied the women and pups...as for me I was forced to watch as the house was set on fire and everyone inside was burned alive and my mate was murdered right in front of my eyes and I was stabbed, shot and left for dead.
It was hard on me to live but something inside me kept pushing me to stay alive. I crawled to a vehicle and then drove into town to the doctors office and was treated and nursed back to health. They had stabbed me in the back in points where I lost the ability to walk and had to learn all over again and that took time.
As time went on I got stronger and stronger and had a few moments of fear and dread as I kept seeing my pack being slaughtered and then burned along with the pups. It was hard for me I will admit but then as time went on the pain turned to hate and all I wanted to do was too kill the men responsible for the killings.

As I got closer to the end I was taken in by one of the few remaining wolves in the town. Although the man was not apart of my pack I always considered him to be and my friend. He helped nurse me and train me better in hunting and tracking and taught me how to use all sorts of fun weapons and bettering my strength and health.
As soon as I was better and able to walk and run like the wolf I am he let me go and told me to find peace instead of hate. He told me not to fight the men who tried to kill me but instead kill the man who sent them... Ulfric Saul. The Ulfric is a powerful wolf who has not been challenged in years due to the fact that he doesn't really play by the rules and fights a bit dirty.
"Sallos. Please be careful and watch your back old friend. I won't be there to help you out again ha-ha." He chuckled as I was leaving the house.
I left the old mans house and started walking towards the big city and liquidated all of my assets so I would have money. I'm sure it was a bit odd to see a man walking down the street with a sword on his back and a big long coat to cover the guns I had but I didn't mind and I usually kept to the trees and off the beaten path.

I finally made it to the city and started looking around for all the wolven bars and clubs and started my search with those until I came to one bar and asked around for some hired guns.
"Hey barkeep. I'm looking for some men. I need assassins and I need the best and most trustful. Know anyone?" I asked as I took my drink and he nodded.
"Yeah I think I may know some guys. They just got done with a hit for the Ulfric down south ha-ha." he almost boasted about it. “from what I hear it was a sweet hit and was easy for them to do."
"Great. Have them meet me here at midnight tonight if they want the job” I told him and slid him a paper with an address.
"I'll give them a call." He told me and I paid and left to wait for them.
I waited till midnight in a park close to the bar and waited for these hit men in a dark spot. The lights from the path and the moon gave just enough light to see that there was someone standing there and people were coming. The stars shone bright and the moon was half full on its way to full and the park lights shone dimly in the background as the men came five minutes till midnight and I stood there with my face half covered so they wouldn't recognize me and hid my weapons under my trench coat so they wouldn't be ready for my strike.
As they walked closer the wind picked up just a hair and made the evening just a bit cooler which was a very good thing because it was very hot that night. They were a bit cautious and I could understand but as soon as they came up to me I made them stop in their tracks.
"So I heard you men just got done doing a hit down south?” I asked.
"Why do you want to know?" one of them replied.
"I want to know if you're qualified to work for me. I want to know if you can handle killing anyone" I stated with a slight annoyance in my voice.
"Well our last hit was a doosy. We were ordered to eliminate some guy named Sallos and his whole pack." the wolf said proudly. " He was an easy target; we didn't even need the six of us ha-ha."
"If it took you six than where is the sixth? There's only five of you here" I asked honestly.
"Well he's in some bar called Shyloh's. He's a sick bastard too." Everyone started laughing.
"How so?" I asked.
"Well he's the one that killed all the pups and torched the ones that he didn't kill." He replied.
"Ah ha." Was all I could say.
After finding out all my Intel I just laughed and then grabbed my sword and faster than they were able to move I slew them and leaned over their bodies saying;
"I AM Sallos, you stupid idiots and now you're dead and I will have my vengance!"I yelled out howling as I grabbed my weapons and left quietly.

After I slew those beasts that killed my whole pack I went to a secluded and dark place to meditate and sleep. As I slept my dreams took over and I was locked on that fateful night that I should have died. I saw again as my family was killed and raped and burned alive and I was forced to watch. I woke with a fright and a cold sweat and got my bearings again. Then from out of no where I heard my mate's voice.
"Sallos. Don't be ashamed at what happened. Vengeance is no way to live your life my dear." She spoke softly and lovingly as always.
"But my love, they took everything from me." Tears starting to roll down my face.” I just don't know what to do now."
"Sallos. My dear gentle Sallos... you need to move on. Your fight is not over and your heart will find its way." She said as her voice slipped away into the wind and I sat there crying.
That morning I went and got food and then went again to meditate in the sun. As I did I felt a power in me that I have never felt and it was intoxicating. It was like my whole body was on fire but never hurting me and then an explosion within me spreading throughout my whole body and I just felt that nothing could hurt me in that moment of true unfiltered power.
The night finally came and I set out to look for this Shyloh's and asked around and finally found out where it was. I walked up to the bar and read the sign saying "no humans allowed" and chuckled to myself as I walked in the bar. As soon as I entered the music stopped and everyone looked in my direction as I walked up to the bar and sat down.
A wolf walked up to me and asked, "Are you lost or just stupid?"
"What do you mean?" I asked innocently.
"This is Shyloh's. No humans allowed and especially no half breeds either." He snarled at me.
"Well lucky for me. I get to fight an idiot who can't even stand that well none the less kill me." I laughed.
Right as he was about to swing at me, a female wolf came out from the back and a wave of calming power swept over everyone in the bar as she came up to us and I got my first look at her. She had blue eyes and long red hair that looked like silk and she stood about 5"4 and looked like an angel and a body that most men would kill for.

[shylohs_man]

For the longest moment I couldn’t stop staring at her and was lost in that moment and barely heard a word she said to me.
“ what is wrong with you wolves? I wont turn away a wolf. Of any kind except for the human hybrids ha-ha.” she spoke and she sounded like an angel.
“yes my alpha. But this wolf here smells like trouble and blood and… and I just don’t trust him.” the wolf said as I growled at him.
“he doesn’t look like he’s gunna hurt anyone here so why don’t you just go sit down and enjoy your drink.” she smirked at him. “and that goes for all of you! Have a drink on the house!”
Everyone cheered at the announcement and then turned and went back to their drinks, as for me I was still lost in her beauty and couldn’t get past it so I just stared.
“and what are you staring at?” she said smirking and I just sat there staring into her blue eyes.
She finally just laughed and all I did was melt again as she spoke to me again.
“just gunna sit there and stare or are you gunna order something?” she asked.
“oh yes… sorry. I just… wow your gorgeous…” was all I was able to get out and she laughed again.
“well that’s a new one. I don’t usually have that effect on people. So are you gunna order or do I just throw you out?” she was a bit irritated with me staring now.
“oh… oh yeah. I am. I will just have beer. What ever is on tap will be fine and some food if I may.” I said finally snapping out of my trance.
“ok coming right up mister.” she giggled as she started to get me my drink and food.
She left me sitting there and then came back moments later with a beer and left it for me to drink as I was still being stared at by all these wolves. The bar was somewhat familiar to me like I had been there in a dream or something. Men and women were smoking and drinking and dancing all around me and everyone was just having a great time and being very loud and very drunk and I just sat there and watched everyone but still keeping my eye out for the man that murdered the pups.

[shylohs_man]

Finally after about fifteen minutes this angel came back with my food. It smelled delicious and looked even better. She brought me a wonderfully made steak with all the fixings, potatoes, vegetables and broccoli cheese soup to top it all off. She sat it down in front of me and told me to dig in and that’s just what I did. You’d swear I barely tasted it because I ate it all so fast and finished off my beer and asked for another.
“so what’s your name?” I asked her as she brought me another beer.
“the names shyloh. So what brings you to my bar?” she got right to the point.
“business with a man named cedric.” I told her grinning as I finally checked her whole body out and saw just how sexy she was.
“I know this wolf your looking for. Is it business or business your looking for with him?” she asked as I noticed she started to check me out.
“ its business between me and him. You see I spent the last year trying to track him down.” I explained to her. “he has a little something of mine and I would like the chance to ask him to hand it back nicely. I really don’t want to make a mess in your gorgeous bar and I certainly don’t want to have to fight my way out of here.”
“ is that so? You really are just an idiot to just reveal what your plan is in front of me and in my bar. I should have them go ahead and kill you where you stand… I never did get your name.” she was snarling at me as she spoke.
“sorry my manners are a bit rusty. The name is sallos and I don’t mean to upset you but and I don’t wish to make your pack one less, I do need to find him for information about my family.” I spoke softly and politely trying to calm her down a bit.
“ well then sallos… I should have my pack kill you where you stand but I don’t think that that would help either one of us. Although at the same time I just cant let you come in here and kill a member of my pack unless you have a damn good reason.” she stated just a bit taken aback at my boldness.
“well I don’t think you would like to know because then you would want to kill him before I got what I was looking for and then killed him myself.” I said drinking more of my beer.
“if I let you hunt him freely would you then promise to pay any damages and clean your mess and let me be there during your interrogation and im assuming murder?” she asked quite honestly almost too happy.
Just as I was about to speak a man walked in the door and his scent hit me fast and hard like a bus on the highway. It was as though a chill ran through my body and freezing me to that spot and turning me into an average dog who’s just been beaten and running away with my tail between my legs. It was not a feeling of fright because I had trained for this for a little over a year and was ready to avenge my family. This feeling I was having was dread and a reminder of what had happened that night that I died.
The man walked up to the bar and thankfully didn’t notice me as I did look a bit different. I had a goatee and longer hair than I used to. A straight black smooth hair that was long enough for me to have to keep it in a small ponytail but the only thing that I had not been able to change I thought was my scent. I was about to learn all to well how much about me had truly changed.

“hey shy.” the man said as he stood at the bar. “I just need a beer tonight. No food.”
“you got it ced.” shyloh spoke to him as if nothing was going on.
“hey did you hear about those five wolves from Swaggers clan?” he asked a bit shaky and worried.
“ no. what happened?” shyloh asked as she handed him his beer and he chugged it and asked for another.
“I was told that some guy came to their bar askin for them and met them in some park and killed them. It was a bloody mess.” she said drinking his beer again.
“ do they know who it was? I mean why would someone kill those men? What did they do to him?” she started to question him.
“I don’t know. I did some uh handy work with them a while back but nothing went wrong so I have no clue.” cedric was now very worried about what happened and that his alpha may find out what he had done.
I threw some money down on the bar and left without a sound or even glance but left my cell number for shyloh to have. The bar was still very loud as I kept walking back to a retreat of solace and peace to prepare to meet this cedric again and to make him pay for what he has done to me.
The next few nights I slept and trained and kept thinking of this shyloh who came to my dreams almost every night as I sat atop the roof and watched it and learned when cedric came in and then I started to follow him knowing that as the moon drew closer to full our powers will grow. I had followed him one evening to a run down building and spied on him as he had a meeting of some kind with a wolf I didn’t recognize and they were talking about me and the job I did for him so that his rule would stay supreme.
He stayed in the shadows so I never saw his face but I did catch his scent but anything much more than that was hidden by spells so I never knew what was being planned and was shocked to see everyone bow to this man. All that I had gotten from this meeting was that they had been the ones that planned the hit on my family and they were discussing the unlikeliest chance that I was still alive. I just scoffed at this and then I dashed away back to the bar again for a drink this time sitting at the bar and waiting for shyloh to appear.
Appear she had and I was awestruck again by her beauty and then she spotted me and walked over almost skipping as she did so.
“ya know a lady can take a man disappearing like you had to be a sign of rejection.” she said to me handing me a beer and a wink.
“I am sorry for that and that was very rude of me but I had to go and take care of some business. I did leave my number for you.” I told her apologetically.
“A lady never calls a man.” she said smiling and winking at me.
I just melted in that moment as we talked and talked and eventually started talking about our past, that was something that I did not want to talk about but I just left out certain things about how I was separated from my pack. The main thing I left out was that I was once an alpha.

[shylohs_man]

“so how did you become alpha?” I asked her finally.
“ oh well I was married to the alpha of this pack years ago when I was about 16. He treated me nicely and was very kind to me. He went off on a vacation without me due to me being in school still and he never came home. We got a letter from him a while ago saying that he was fine but that he left the pack and left me in charge. Ever since then I just haven’t taken a mate.” she told me with a slight glare and fire in her eyes.
“oh im sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.” I said trying to calm her down.
“its ok. It happened a long time ago.” she said smiling at my kindness. “now that I told you… tell me what happened to your pack.”
“ well it’s a bit of a long story. I really don’t have much time tonight. I have a few errands to run before the full moon hits. I just came by to get a couple beers but I swear I will tell you one time… that is if you would have dinner with me.” I said with a wink and a bit of a frown as I thought briefly about what happened.
“ well I guess I could have dinner with you but I have a bar to run and really cant get away from this place ha-ha.” she told me hoping I could think of something.
“ well ya know you do own this place and I could come after closing if you get everyone out and I can cook you dinner and we can have a wonderful night.” I said as I was staring straight into her gorgeous blue eyes.
“ maybe. If you promise not to disappear right afterwards ha-ha.” she said laughing as she walked away to serve the other wolves.
I sat there and drank my beer and tossed the money down again and then vanishing into the night… again. As I exited the bar I took up my usual spot on the roof across the street and saw shyloh just coming out and looking a little disappointed as she was looking around for any sign of me, to which there was none.

Lookin' alright so far, it's progressing a bit quickly, but that's acceptable for a first draft. Some editing needed, and including line breaks would make it easier to read and more appealing to readers. With no line breaks, it looks too long to try to read, lol.

I look forward to reading what happens next :)

*Snore* zz-SNRK! Oh, I'm sorry, just got so sleepy waiting for more of this story *YAWN* Any more coming soon? :p

Over the next few days I followed my target and learned where the best place was to catch him and kill him. Little did I know that I too was being hunted as well. I knew of some feeling that I was being watched but whenever I looked there was never anything there.
The night before the full moon I had everything in line and my plan was coming together so all I had left was to woo the heart of that she wolf that owned the bar. She melted my heart and made me want to stick around just to be with her and make her mine. Without know how she felt though its hard to make a move so I decided to visit the bar again.
“ Sallos you ass, why do you keep vanishing?” shyloh asked as I took a seat at the bar.
“ im sorry. Had things that needed my attention and I had to leave fast. Its nothing against you, I swear… wait, why would you care?” I asked her teasingly.
“ I… uhh I just don’t like it when a man that I like to run off like that.” she almost mumbled and then started to blush.
“ yo-you like me?” I asked honestly and blushing myself.
“maybe I do, but if you keep vanishing like that I may start to hate you.” she glared at me.
The rest of the bar just got busier and she didn’t have much time to talk tonight but I still drank my fill and then kept going. I started getting pretty drunk and just sat at the bar and didn’t even realize when cedric came walking into the bar and came right up behind me.
“hey shy just a beer tonight please!” he said over the loud crowd.
“sure thing ced.” was all shyloh said
The man I was there to kill was right behind me and I was so drunk I didn’t even notice it. I sobered up just a bit to clear my head really fast and then I turned my head to see this man and as I did he noticed who I was. He drew his weapon but I was faster than he was and because of the beer I had I was more flexible as well. I bashed his head into the bar as I disarmed him and hit him again in the face and hand cuffed his hands behind his back. This commotion brought the whole bars attention to us and a few were ready to strike with just a word from their alpha.
“what the fuck are you doing sallos?” shyloh asked me yelling as she did.
“im sorry shyloh. Ive lied to you. I used to be the alpha of my pack up until a year ago when this man a five others were sent to my estate and killed them all and then left me for dead. The plan obviously didn’t work and this man here was the one that killed my mate and the pups.” I said as my eyes welled up.
“YOU ARE NOT KILLING ANYONE IN MY BAR!” shyloh yelled out at me and other wolves started to snarl at me just waiting for the signal to strike.
“I wont kill him in here all I want to do is interrogate him to find out who sent him to kill me.” I replied keeping my calm.
“ only if I am there to witness this. I know he does mercenary work but killing kids is not something I allow.” she told me calming down and walking towards us. “we can use the back room and no one will harm you.”
“thank you shyloh.” I said as we followed her into the back and the music started up again.
