Arrow Inferno
Chapter 81: Stanley ‘STAN’ Norris vs. Ian ‘WILL’ Williams ~ Getting acquainted!

***

Meanwhile, inside the jungle room, the two wolves circled each other, one with an air of violence around him and the other with a calming but firm attitude. At this point after a premier shift, the human of the shifter was usually inactive, resting after the ordeal he or she had been through. So the black wolf was all beast with pure animal instincts. That made it very dangerous.

Although the newly shifted wolf's thirst for a fight was obvious and uncontrollable, the brown wolf tried to assert its authority, impressing upon his mate his experience and seniority. For a moment it seemed as though it was working. Then out of the blue, the black wolf attacked. What ensued was a fight that shocked those looking on.

"Come on, boy." Philip chanted under his breath. "You can do it. Show him who's in authority right now. Come on!"

"Stanley..." Jeremy shouted. "Forget he's your mate. Fucking end this now."

"I don't get this." Ryan gasped. "Isn't it unfair that you're all openly supporting Stan against Will? How would you feel if you were in his shoes?"

"At this point, we don't really give a fuck." Paige breathed. "If Stan doesn't assert his authority in this first fight, he's doomed forever. That black wolf will always dominate him. He's gotta win this."

"Right." Ryan sighed. "You're in his mind, aren't you?" He couldn't keep the smirk out of his voice as he took in how Paige was frowning in concentration.

"The idiot won't even allow me in." An exasperated Paige growled.

Stan heard the shouts from his friends and felt the urgent nudge in his mind from Paige but ignored them. His mate was an alpha so what? He knew they were worried. But he wasn't. On the contrary, he felt so much pride that his mate, although very new to the wolf world, could hold his own in combat as a wolf. He was a seasoned warrior but his mate had held his own against him. That was damn impressive.

'Will?' Stan spoke to his mate on their mind-link.

'What?' The black wolf snapped. He felt so angry but he didn't even know why.

'Time to end this, baby.' Stan muttered even as he pinned the wolf down. 'Stay the fuck down.' He snarled when Will's wolf tried to push him off.

'I'll stay down when I'm done with you, you asshole.'

'Yeah, this asshole is done with your arse right now.' The beta completely immobilized his mate. Then he let out a low vicious growl which showed he was serious and not to be fucked with.

Will's wolf panted harshly as he looked up at his mate. 'I know you won't harm me so cut the bullshit.' He finally snorted. 'Why am I so angry though?'

'Because you're a beast.' Stan chuckled as his tongue flicked across his mate's nose with great affection. 'You are so beautiful.'

'How many times will you tell me that?'

'Till I draw my last breath.' Stan breathed.

'Then try not to do that when I'm this angry. It's distracting.'

Stan guffawed. 'Eventually, you will learn to control the anger. It is only after you rein it in that you will be in sync with your human side. To be honest, it's weird that you've even noticed you're angry. Premier shifters don't usually notice they're acting unreasonably.'

'Why won't you notice when you're angry and want to destroy something?' Will scoffed. 'I need some fucking action.'

Stan laughed. 'Hey, chill. You're not on a mission like your human usually is. And who accepts they're angry when they don't really have a reason for being angry. I think you noticed because you're a witch.'

'I'm not a witch.'

'Yeah, whatever.'

'And I'm pretty sure I have a reason for being angry at you at least.' Will's voice was deceptively low. 'From your own words you gave me an overdose of something.'

'My venom.' Stan responded. 'It had to be done.'

'So why were you apologizing?'

'Because it caused you more pain.' Stan sighed, letting go of Will's wolf.

Irked, Will's wolf gave Stan's a dirty look. 'So you see? I have every right to be angry at you,' he said with dangerous softness. 'I've never felt that level of pain. I wouldn't wish that on even my enemy. So my anger is in order.'

'I am sorry. Just try not to destroy anything whilst you're in this dark mood if you please.'

'I can't promise you that.' With that, the black wolf jumped up and assumed an attack stance.

'Aw come on, Will," Stan's wolf groaned even as his human burst into laughter inside him. 'You're enjoying this aren't you, dipshit?' the wolf growled at his human.

'I feel so stifled in here.' The black wolf complained even as he charged at his mate.

'Calm down first.' Stan easily pinned Will again. 'Then I will see what I can do about this feeling of...' He sat on the wolf and leaned down to nuzzled its neck, 'constrain. Fuck, you smell amazing.'

With a needy groan, Stan began to lick his mate. It was almost as if he was grooming the wolf which was a usual lupine behaviour. But before long, he was licking his mate everywhere, giving it a proper tongue-bath. The black wolf purred, enjoying the attentions of his mate.

'That feels so good."

"Yo, Stanislav?" A totally amused Paige called out. "Unless you have plans for that bazooka on that wolf, you better stop blowing that dick.'

"For goodness sake, Paige he wasn't blowing him." Ryan gasped, going red in the face.

"I don't care what you call it but once there's tongue on dick, it's a fucking blowjob." Paige drawled, drawing laughter from the others.

"Maybe he's just trying to distract him from the rage." Deloris shrugged. "But then again, this is Stan," she added, setting off another round of hysterics.

Stan ignored his audience and moved back up to lick at the face of his now calm mate. He had to stifle his groan when the alluring scent of his mate's lust hit his senses. Will's calm countenance didn't fool Stan for even a second. If anything, his mate was deadlier that very moment. Rage was serious enough. But rage mixed with lust was lethal because sanity usually disappeared. It hadn't been his intention to arouse his mate. He'd just wanted to taste him.

'Get up.' Stan instructed as he moved off Will's wolf.

That would be a great time to get his mate out into the wild and allow him to run free the brown wolf thought. He went to the door and pressed his paw into the paw print at the base of the door. After some clicks, the door swung open to reveal a long tunnel. It led straight into the Stanton Woods.

"Aw come on, we were enjoying the show." Philip gave a mock groan.

'It's rather unfortunate I can't give you the finger, alpha mine.' Stan sneered on the mind-link he shared with his friends, drawing laughter from them. 'So this paw should suffice.' The wolf lifted a paw and flicked his tail in hilarity when Philip gave him the finger amidst howls of laughter. 'Come on, Will.' He called out to his mate who still looked lost in a haze of lust.

The black beast quickly stood and run after his mate, already smelling the enticing earthy smell of the woods and loving it.

It was time to be one with nature.
