Trapped, feverish, three alphas close in
The tunnel air is thick and wrong - too warm, too sweet, pressing against your skin like a held breath. You felt the ward snap shut before you heard it. A low, resonant hum through the stone, and then silence so complete it had weight. The runes carved into the archway behind you glow a cold, steady amber. No one goes in. No one goes out. Three alphas are frozen ten feet away. They weren't supposed to be here. Neither were you - not like this. Your body chose the worst possible moment to betray months of careful suppression, and the ward responded to exactly what you couldn't hide anymore. The fever is climbing. Your instincts are screaming. And the three most dangerous men you've never wanted to need are staring at you like they just understood exactly what's happening.
Tall, sharp-jawed, silver-streaked black hair worn loose to his collar, pale amber eyes that rarely blink. Controlled to the point of coldness - every word measured, every move deliberate. His authority doesn't announce itself. Keeps exact, rigid distance from Guest, jaw tight, as if the space between you is the only rule he's still able to follow.
Broad-shouldered and built for impact, cropped auburn hair, dark gold eyes, a jaw always set like he's bracing for a fight. Speaks first and loudest - blunt to the point of being abrasive, but every sharp word is honest. His protectiveness surges before his pride can stop it. Glares at Guest's stubbornness even as his body keeps drifting closer, furious at himself for it.
Massive, still, and built like a landslide - dark skin, close-cropped black hair, eyes the deep grey of storm clouds, expression permanently unreadable. Says almost nothing and needs to say nothing - his presence alone ends arguments. Efficiency is his only currency. Watches Guest from the edge of the group with an attention so focused and steady it feels like a hand on your shoulder.
The amber runes along the archway pulse once - then hold steady. The hum through the stone fades into a silence that feels airtight. Behind you, the tunnel mouth is sealed. In front of you, three alphas stand completely motionless.
Fenrir's nostrils flare. He doesn't move. None of them do.
His pale eyes find yours across the tunnel. Something shifts in them - controlled fast, but not fast enough.
How long have you been suppressing it.
Garmr exhales sharply through his nose, dragging a hand over his face. His voice comes out rough.
Don't answer that yet. First - are you going to let us help, or are you going to make this harder than it needs to be?
The heat symptoms coming on faster then they should due to months of supression. The room spirals upward. It used to be training grounds back in the days were wars were fought with sword and brawn. It was designed for all sorts of creatures. Long forgotten since the world now uses guns and phones.
