The more he thrashed about, the angrier he felt. The pinpricks seemed to build underneath his skin, exploding the second his fingertips touched anything. He had to quell the desire to shift right then and there in the kitchen, to keep himself from losing control and shattering plates and glass – maybe even bones. It wasn’t the lack of his favorite cereal, or the cold water for his shower. It was everything and nothing all at once, and he had no idea where to begin.
He took a moment to try and regain some composure. His hands squeezed the counter top until his knuckles were white. He took a few deep breaths until the beast within him was calmed – for now, at least.
His head jerked up as he saw the little omega rushing down the stairs, as usual looking as if a gust of wind would blow her over. Judd was about to make a rude remark to her about how late breakfast was but decided to push the thought to the back of his mind. He’d just worked himself down from another outburst, he didn’t need to start another. Still, he glared at Skylar and stood in front of the stove for several moments. He loved seeing the fear in her eyes. She looked just like a cornered doe, who knew that she had only moments left.
Dimidian came running to Skylar’s rescue and Judd scowled at the older healer. However, he had a high position in the pack and he had to respect it. He nodded his head in acknowledgement to the male and muttered, “Be careful to not burn the pancakes. We’ll never get the stink out of the house.”
Judd had almost made it to the door and was so close to avoiding trouble until he heard Aiden’s tired but confident voice. He stopped dead in his tracks, and slowly began to turn around. Once again, the choking fire of rage lit in his throat. Somehow, his voice came out cool and collected.
“Oh yeah, buddy? And what crap would that be?” His eyes narrowed as his feet seemed to carry him across the floor. He came face to face with the other male once again, his green eyes piercing into Aiden’s. “You better go away,” he warned, his voice hardly more than a whisper, “or you’ll have more than a migraine to worry about.”
Aiden threw away a plate of half-eaten, perfectly good toast and eggs and started his way outside. The sight of Aiden leaving the confrontation was the nail in the coffin. Before he knew what he was doing, Judd grabbed the plate from the sink and chucked it after Aiden. He didn’t intend for it to hit Aiden, and luckily it didn’t. However, it came close enough. The plate shattered the second it hit the doorframe, sending shards of glass across the floor. “Forgot some of your breakfast, Aiden!” he howled after the other fighter.
After the scene he made, even Judd felt a little shaky. Freida had gotten fed up with the drama and left, but not without giving Judd some harsh words. He only bared his teeth as the hippie left the room, and took her wretched, patchouli scent with her. Skylar looked as if her eyes would pop out of her head. “Well?” he snapped at her. “You’re the omega, clean it up.”

There was something refreshing about Dimidian, something calming. Even though Samir was the alpha (and a great one at that,) Dimidian felt like he was the dad of the pack. He was the oldest, and his calm nature seemed to radiate outwards. He was quiet, but Freida’s quick mouth could always make up for it. Yet, when he did speak, it was genuine. She really liked that more than anything.
She may have stared at the man for a second or two longer than she would have liked. Blinking, she woke herself out of her trance. It must be the full moon, she reasoned. Everyone else seems pretty off today, too. Skylar, the poor girl, sounded sicker than usual, Aiden didn’t look so hot, and Judd, well… He's always a negative, vibe-destroying jerk, she decided with a huff. All she wanted to do this morning was her freaking yoga!
Her focus was drawn back to Dimidian’s quiet sigh. It took her a moment for her to remember what she’d even asked him. “Hmm, a hush?” Freida pondered for a moment. “I feel like there’s always a sort of hush that comes with the new-fallen snow. There’s a beautiful, feminine energy that comes with it – a powerful way to connect to the Goddess,” she sighed, trailing off. She didn’t feel silly or embarrassed saying her far-out ideas and beliefs. In fact, it only made her want to run out in the snow on all fours, or even better yet, pull out her magic candles. She didn’t seem to have the gift of witch craft (being more than one mystical entity wouldn’t be fair!) but she liked trying anyways. She just wished she had someone to experience it with.
Once again, her peace was stolen from her as Aiden stood up to the bully Judd. Even though she hated confrontation, she couldn’t help but smirk as Aiden challenged Judd. Someone needed to put the wannabe street rat in his place. “This is gonna get crazy,” she breathed, but Dimidian left her side to help the struggling Skylar. She momentarily glanced over in their direction, not wanting to miss the drama yet drawn to the healer’s actions. That was really kind of him, she thought with a small smile. She needs the help, the poor kid looks like she can hardly breathe.
Before she knew it, a shatter filled the air that was enough to make Freida jump. “What the -- ?!” With all the violence and aggression in the air, Freida could even feel a shift start to swell inside her. “Get out of here, Judd!” she shouted. “You’re ruining the morning! You can’t treat people like this – what kind of packmate are you?”
Stupid Judd let her anger get the best of her. Before she lost it anymore, she gingerly avoided the glass on the floor and went out on the porch. Mia and Erika were already out here. Smart of them, to skip the drama completely, she huffed. “You just missed World War 3,” she said to both girls as she pulled a cigarette out of her pocket. She lighted it and brought the joint to her lips. The hippie took a long, deep inhale, and held it in until her lungs couldn’t any longer. She let out the smoke slowly, and felt like she was the winter Goddess herself, dusting the ground with sparkling frost. Cigarettes, Goddesses and dreams kept her grounded, and her wolf away.

Sky came face to face with Judd. While he wasn’t overly muscular, he was still a strong young man – he wasn’t a fighter for nothing, after all. However, his haunting, challenging state was the most threatening aspect of his appearance, and it kept Skylar rooted to her place. Se didn’t dare make any movements or sound. She felt defenseless and trapped, unsure of what to do. The few moments seemed like an eternity, and finally, he backed off, but he kept his warning green eyes on her as he stalked away.
With that threatening stare-down, Skylar busied herself with grabbing all the baking supplies. However, when she tried to crack the eggs over the bowl, she could hardly aim on account of her shaking so badly. She winced as she bit down another series of coughs, her body silently racking along with each one. The kitchen’s atmosphere didn’t help ether, with Judd storming around like a thundercloud waiting to strike. If she waited any longer on getting things going, it would be her. She sniffled and finally managed to crack the egg, without getting shell in the bowl.
She felt a gentle hand on her shoulder and immediately tensed, but gradually let her muscles relax when she realized it was Dimidian, the healer. She was often sick, so she spent a lot of time with the man. He was kind and patient – she felt safe with him. She craned her head up to look at him as he gently suggested making breakfast instead. “No, I can-,“ she turned away and broke out into another breathless fit of coughing. Her inhaler was in her hands in a flash, ad although she hated using it in front of the others, she reflexively sent a puff of medicine down her throat. Taking this as her cue, she nodded gratefully to Dimidian. “Thank you,” she said simply, but she hoped the warmth in her eyes said more than she could.
She’d make her tea once Dimidian finished with breakfast; she didn’t want to get underfoot. However, this was when the drama started, as Judd rose to Aiden’s bait and sent a plate hurtling out after him. The shatter made Skylar jump backwards, nearly into the sharp edge of the table. The blood was roaring in her ears, and she was ready to flee at whatever Judd did next. Luckily, this seemed to be the end of his outburst, until he rounded on her. The trembling omega nodded as he demanded that she clean up the mess he made. She tried her best to make it over to the broom and dustpan, but ever shaky step was difficult. Why couldn’t they just have a pleasant morning?
