Just so you know, I've never really written anything other than required school papers, and those don't take much effort. So please keep that in mind for the next couple chapters, because I'm really trying to get it done with as few mistakes as possible. To the few people who have started reading Odette, thank you for waiting! I don't plan on taking long periods of time in between chapters, this was an accident. Have fun!
**************************
Odette rolled over onto her side, facing the door. Someone was taping on it, seeking entrance.
"Come in" She almost yelled.
In walked her best friend Lucky. Lucky, not including Claire was probably the closest with Odette. They knew everything about each other, and had clicked instantly the moment they met at the age of 7.
"I heard you got pretty banged up last night." She said, while coming around to Odette's side of the bed. She sat down and ran her fingers through her friend's hair, feeling the now very small bump.
"Yeah, well shit happens. I'm fine though, didn't help very much that Christian nearly took my head off when I came in. And Jesus Christ, you think Natalie would ever mind her own business." Odette ranted, the whole time intertwining her fingers behind Lucky's neck.
Lucky leaned forward and kissed her friends forehead. When she pulled back she said, "Don't worry about it, Natalie doesn't have the balls to actually stand up to you, and if she did try something, you know we could take her. Even without me you could probably hold your own, I guess." Lucky joked, smiling at her friend and blinking her eyes innocently. Odette laughed and gave her friend a hug, and a kiss on the lips.
Odette and Lucky have always enjoyed each other's company in more ways than one. They thought it as a different kind of relationship, one that they were both quite comfortable with, seeing as neither of them felt the need to make it public. What happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom. Both women just need to release tensions once in a while, and they were both quite happy with how they did it. They were in love with each other's bodies.
Lucky stood up, and started walking toward the door. Then she said over her shoulder, "Careful when you leave your room, Christian is looking for you." Then she was out the door.
Damn, what does he want now, Odette thought. She got out of bed and walked to her closet. Time for some food. She grabbed her sponge bob boxers, which were bright yellow with various characters on them, and a black tank top. Closing the closet doors, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. Definitely need a shower, she thought. She didn't do a thing with her hair, just slipped on some socks and started out the door.
She was walking down the staircase, when she saw two male pack members arguing over something. When Odette reached them she saw a fight was about to break out. Now's not a good time for violence, she thought as she stuck her hand out and caught the fist that would've easily broken something.
"Calm down guys. It's too early for this." She spoke loudly.
The man's fist she had caught, also known as Rick, looked at her in shock as she had easily caught his punch destined for Jake.
"Sorry Odette, but why don't you tell Jake here that he shouldn't eat what's not HIS!" He roared.
"Grow some balls Rick, its food, not diamonds. Let it go." She eyed Rick then looked over at the shaken Jake. Jake was fairly young, especially compared to Rick. And not used to Rick's temper tantrums, as he was new to the pack.
She let go of the fist she had caught so gracefully, and walked over to Jake. She patted his shoulder and whispered only loud enough for him to hear, "Be careful next time, and don't let him catch you!" She giggled, and he let out a nervous laugh and then she kept walking to the kitchen.
Leaning with his back against the cupboards Christian was reading the paper, and looked up when she came in.
Odette stopped briefly, and then kept walking to the fridge located right beside the cupboards which he was so casually leaning against.
"Hey" He said softly
"Hi" She said not looking at him at all, rummaging through the fridge.
"Nice shorts, very quirky" He winked when she looked up, she then laughed.
"I didn't know the sponge was your thing, but thank you." She left the fridge with some ham and cheese, then looked at him.
"I need the bread, can you grab it for me"
He turned around, grabbed the bread and threw it back at her.
"Gracias" She smiled, then frowned.
What's wrong with me? This is the same guy who taunts me endlessly and throws Natalie in my face every chance he gets, Fuck this! She didn't speak another word, after she made her sandwich she walked down to the gym on the 3rd floor.
Christian noted the scowl that was set on her face after their last words were shared, but he didn't want to press on about it. He'd rather not upset her sooner rather than later, because the news he had for her, was definitely going to be upsetting. Hell, even he was gonna be upset.
She had just finished her sandwich when Lucky came out of nowhere, skipping until she was right in front of Odette.
She then yelled the words, "Fight, right now!"
Everyone looked up from their equipment. This room was huge, taking up the entire third floor, and with a large pack to tend to, it was usually occupied by at least a couple men and women.
Odette smiled, and started to back away into a corner at the far end of the room. People around them stopping what they were doing and preparing to watch this. It was unusual for Odette to shift in front of others, there was really no need to, therefore not many know what she looks like when in full change.
Lucky started stretching, and began to take off her clothes. The entire male portion of the gym started doing cat calls, and whistles. Lucky just smiled and watched as Odette did the same. The second Odette's clothing hit the ground, it began.
Not a second was wasted before Odette was shifting into full snow leopard. In this form, she was absolutely breath taking. Her size was intimidating, at 8 feet long, and with an even more terrifying height, she caused quite a few pack members to look in awe.
Lucky was in full form as well, and as gorgeous as she was, Odette stood out like crazy. Lucky was Mountain lion, although her size did not equally match Odette's, which was near impossible, her speed and grace made up for it tenfold.
Every pack member is somewhat aware of what Odette is capable of. Few actually believe it, but every myth has some truth to it. Odette's mother was full blooded were, her father on the other hand was something quite complicated. He had demon ancestry, but was a more pronounced Were.
Odette loves her father, and is grateful for the gifts he had bestowed upon her. Her natural ability to fight with grace that is known throughout other packs, and the mysterious mind powers that can have the strongest of beings quaking in fear. The physical she inherited from both her mother & father. The abilities that have shaken the pack from its core, that's all dads.
The gift bestowed upon her is mind control. She has the unique ability to control ones actions with the blink of an eye. Although this is one serious ability, Odette is still exploring her limits, and doesn't often use it unless necessary.
Lucky & Odette are not exactly fighting equals, but they sure do make things interesting.
