The next morning Lynn awoke to the sounds of people walking above her in the bar. Shelia and Kristy were just waking as well and heard the noise as well, each woman grabbed one of the blankets from the bottom of their cage. They heard the door open and Rick began to come down the stairs, with the keys in his hand. "Good Morning ladiees, did you all have a good night?" he asked with a grin, knowing they probably all hated being locked up. Following protocol he opened Shelia's cage, then Lynn's and finally Kristy's.

Lynn walked over to her extra clothing and grabbed it. Waiting for Sheila to finish dressing before she went into the basement bathroom and dressed as well. Into a tight pair of jeans she had gotten with Dallas and her usual button up shirts/blouses. She brushed her hair and headed up the stairs. She didn't know what she was supposed to do now... She still didn't know if she could cook... the thought of raw bloody meat was very unapealing to her but maybe she could do fish... if she had to cook. She didn't know what was going to happen though because after having been with Dallas she hadn't spoken to Marcus about anything.

Coming upstairs she saw the pack was milling about, Marcus was sitting by himself with a cup of coffee. Dallas however was nowhere to be seen, and Michael sat nearby the alpha waiting for orders. "Good morning Lynn, would you be so good as to make bacon and eggs for us, nothing too hard correct?" Marcus asked setting his cup down. Shelia went to say something, but was silenced by the look Marcus shot at her. The leader was irritated about something this morning, normally he was in good spirits after the first night of transformation.

"I... I'll try Marcus... Good morning to you too." Lynn says heading to the kitchen. She didn't want to go into the meat locker so she asked the other cook to get a slab of bacon for her. She bit her lip when she had to deal with the raw bacon until it was in the pan. She had the second pan already with a pad of butter in it. It was melted and she cracked four eggs and was cooking them. She knew how everyone liked them, so she cooked and put the items on the plates and set them out on the takeout counter. Once she was done she got the pot of coffee remade and hot she went out behind the counter.

Most of the pack didn't do much on days during the cycle, Marcus was on the phone when she brought out his breakfast. He continued his conversation as he pointed to the chair beside him, "Yes, yes, I understand you have need of me and my family. We can be in Mexico in about a week or so, but I want to speak with 'la tia' about what I want. Alejandro, you have yourself a deal, we'll be there the end of this next week." He sipped his coffee and took a bite of bacon, looking at the others with a small smile.

Lynn refilled his coffe and put the pot away before joining Marcus at the seat he wanted her at. She wondered where Dallas was and now she was a little worried about the trip to mexico. She'd never been to so many places and they moved often. She wondered if it was a good thing, his smile. She was usually in the back still cooking or cleaning or something so she didn't interact a whole lot with the pack as a group, only when Marcus had her come out. Now that she wasn't cooking so much... because of the raw meat... She had more time around the pack and it made her a little more dissapointed she couldn't be with Dallas but her wolven colored eyes gave the fact that for the next two days she was and would be in heat.

"I thought I smelled arousal, did your time with Dallas jump start your cycle Lynn?" He picked up the cup and took a swallow of coffee and set it back down. "So, how did everything go on your days away, and tell me the truth. For if you can prove trustworthy I might have a new job for you and Dallas if you so choose." he said raising an eyebrow. It was time for Marcus to dangle the carrot in front of Lynn, and if something was starting between them, then he had a new way to control Dallas.

"We stayed in a hotel and often laid together. He bought me clothing that would be more suitable for riding a motorcycle if I am to go along with anyone for collections. Precaution was taken each time we laid together and we ate when we weren't busy. Yes... I have been pushed ahead and am now in my heat cycle. I do hope that nothing has come up while I was gone..." Lynn said softly glancing up now and then at Marcus, she wasn't allowed to look directly at him but she kept glancing, she didn't want Dallas or herself to be in trouble. In fact she hoped she had done well enough that they were both no longer under any special watch or scrupulations.

Marcus smiled, even though she let another male have her loyalty still laid with him. "So, he bought you clothes more accustomed for riding, do you believe that he will have you ride with him often?" The Alpha had no doubt that while pushing her heat ahead of schedule, Dallas had begun the road back to the pack. "We might be leaving from here soon, and I was thinking about sending you two to find our next stop." His ears picked up a little bit, the harley Dallas rode was pulling up, he began to watch to see Lynn's reaction.

"If it is what you'd like... If we are to leave... Will we be traveling far this time?" Lynn asked softly trying not to react to hearing Dallas's Harley. She shifted her body on the seat a little however and kept her eyes down, not wanting to know if they had become a darker Amber, because she knew her heart was beating quicker already. Lynn didn't know if Dallas wanted her around a lot, and she didn't want to get on his nerves or annoy him. She certainly didn't want to make the Alpha angry either.

Marcus smiled again, her reactions were easy to pick up on and he wondered what Dallas would show when he got inside. "I will discuss with Dallas and Shelia where our business will grow. Also, we are going to do a little side job for some out of town friends, so I think you and Dallas will have two months to find our new territory." He stopped and looked to the door as Dallas came inside, what would his right hand do. The man stopped a little short and hung up his jacket before going and sitting at the bar.

Lynn nodded her head but didn't say anything, She sat silently in the seat across from her alpha and hoped She didn't show anything. She was excited that he Was giving her the chance to be with Dallas for a whole month and on the other hand Dallas's words came back to her about how careful they would have to be around each other. There could be no chance for them to be able to become a couple or a mated pair. Only the alpha's could do that. She was always afraid of moving, afraid they would get caught and - Lynn began to shake as she remembered the violance of the two weeks before. She closed her eyes and breathed heavily. Inhaling the scent of all the male's distracted her and she hugged herself tightly. "I... would like to go now. Please to my room." Lynn asked with a trembling voice.

Both Dallas and Marcus picked up on her change and knew it had something to do with the events of the last couple weeks. "Of course Lynn, I know sleeping in those cages isn't comfortable. I think Dallas will be happy having a friendly face to help him scout for us." He motioned that she could leave and made eye contact to bring Dallas over to speak with him. Marcus smiled inwardly, Lynn was excited and afraid, Dallas would be happy and protective and that would keep him close to the pack.

"Thank you Marcus." Lynn said softly before hurrying to her shared bedroom. Even though she didn't really need the blankets she laid down and pulled them up to her chin. She didn't even bother changing her clothes. Still shivering Lynn laid on the bed and tried to ignore the thoughts in her head. Trying to make herself not think and just relax. It was harder then she thought, she was so used to thinking of what to cook and how to prepare things for everyone. It was hard now to try and not think at all. Especially for Lynn who was used to always being busy and thinking all the time.

Hours later she heard laughter coming from downstairs and the sounds of things being moved around. Shelia came upstairs and sat on the bed, "Just to let you know there is a challenge for Marcus's second. Dallas is to fight anyone who wants to take his place." It wasn't new, several times of the years a member would challenge to improve his place in the pack. "I think Michael or Rick will challenge, should be interesting fights either way."

"Rick can not beat Dallas... it would be stupid of him to try... again." Lynn said softly She knew these fights were supposed to be witnessed by all mmbers of the pack but... with her heat coursing through her she didn't think it was a very good idea... and yet she really did want to go and watch. The image of Dallas naked and smiling popped into her head and her whole body trembled. "Micheal doesn't have much skill either. Did Marcus send you up here?" Lynn asked softly trying to not let her heart race even as she felt her body heat up and moisten in response to her thoughts. She was almost behaving worse then Kristy the little whore of the pack. She had to pull herself together and not let the heat or the fact of her new intamacy with Dallas get her into a position where she'd have to fight Kristy. In fact Lynn had only won times previous because she made Kristy pass out. Usually by choke holds. She never threw punches or clawed... only protected herself and got rid of the other person... Kristy. It was also why Lynn probably wouldn't ever rise very much in the hierarchy of the pack, she just didn't like to be forcefull.

"Marcus told me to tell anyone not in ear shot about it, I personally believe it is because we intend to move soon that the challenge was set out. Rick is going second, he hopes that Michael will soften Dallas up for him to have a better chance." Shelia didn't believe that either man would knock Dallas from the second spot, he was tougher than both combined and a better tactition. "Will you accept the offer to scout with Dallas for a month while we go to Mexico?" Shelia detested the idea of crossing to the south, but Marcus had contacts that were going to pay in money and information.

"I will... Marcus asked me to. Besides what use am I if I still can't cook. That was the one thing I was good at. Let's go downstairs then..." Lynn sighed softly and gently pushed the covers aside. Standing Lynn grabbed her hair brush and ran it through her hair before fixing her pony tail. Once that was done she headed for the door. If she was supposed to watch then she would watch the fight. But she needed to keep a firm grip of herself being in heat and all.

The scene downstairs was one that was outstandingly simple yet would be impressive to see. Kristy was moving drinks and the men who were not fighting were taking money from people who either wanted to bet or simply watch the fights. Marcus had already counted several hundred dollars and anticipated by the end of the week they could ride out with a lot more money. They watched SHelia and Lynn come out to the top of the stairs, Dallas already shirtless was waiting anxiously for Michael and the signal to fight. Rick was going second and giving the large Michael tips on how to attempt beating the alpha's second.

Lynn swallowed thickly at seeing Dallas topless. Not only that but she could feel the power in the air as the men were preparing to fight. She followed behind Shelia as was her place. She would probably be put on drink duty as well. They usually wanted the girls to pass the beer out. While the bets were being taken extra beer and ale was flowing as well. Lynn licked her lips watching Dallas' muscles bunch and move as he moved around waiting for the fight to begin. HEr eyes were a dark wolven amber already.

Shelia turned and regarded Lynn quickly, "We will stay up here, Marcus was concerned your heat might affect you this night. I thought to secure you already, but tradition dictates that all members of the pack be present for a challenege." Shelia watched Dallas as well, he was rough and honestly she understood Lyn's attraction. She was more attracted to power and that is what she got being the alpha female, and tied only to Marcus's whims. "I'm thinking of placing a bet myself, do you think Dallas is a safe bet?" she asked smiling in the possibility of Lynn's response.

"He's the only one who trains seriously... and is put on the kind of jobs someone needs to know how to handle themselves. He's the one called when there is trouble... that's why he is the second in the pack... Other then Marcus... Dallas is the only other really serious member of the pack who is concerned about the safety of everyone. He's strong... and developed... and reliable, perfectly suited to fighting and pleasing." Lynn was fairly panting by the time she finished speaking, her eyes watching Dallas intently. HEr body was tight and she was quivering at the sight and feel of the power in front of her. She swallowed and gripped the railing in front of her, she needed to stay beside Shelia... but what she wanted to do was jump over the railing and ride Dallas's body to the ground were he stood.

Michael came on fast, thinking to overpower Dallas and end it quickly. While he made contact, Dallas struck fast and hard against the ribs and kneed his kidney. Quickly his attacker gave ground and began trying to shake the damage off. The crowd roared and several people began changing their bets, to no avail this would play out as it was. Marcus leaned over and said something to Rick who groaned and put his hand to his head.

Lynn dug her fingers into the wood until it cracked under her hands. Lynn was sweating and panting, her pupils were wide and she was panting heavily. The speed the muscles... Lynn was leaning heavily over the banister watching with an eagerness she wasn't fighting. She learned a long time ago to go with her instincts and right now she was waiting for the winner of the fight... the worthier male... The one her wolf wanted her to be with was the one she'd be with.

Dallas wasn't in a hurry, Michael was strong and favored trying to hit the face. Years of fighting taught him to go for any open shot, and even as Michael reared back for another try Dallas struck first. Kicking low and taking Michael's left leg out so the big man was low, then began picking apart the big man. Rick was on his feet and trying to coach Michael to do better, before he had to get in. Marcus was impressed as Dallas struck Michael across the jaw, his second was apparntly making the largeer man pay for endangering Lynn.

Lynn groaned softly Licking her lips before biting at them. She lapped at them when blood spilt from her biting down too hard but it only succeeded in her arousel being heightened. Lynn was panting heavily and she was working hard at keeping herself on the stand besides Shelia, her body however was moving on it's own and she was slowly leaning forward further and her muscles bunching... almost ready to jump over the banister. She felt so hot and she was fighting the urge... she was fighting it very hard.

"Easy little sister, calm yourself." Shelia cautioned in a hushed tone in her ear. "If Marcus finds you heating up too much you'll be locked up before the end of the challenge." Taking an ice cube out of her cup and pushing it into Lynn's hand. Down below Dallas had his arms wrapped around Michael's neck and was choking him out. Rick was pacing and shaking his head, and watching the giant werewolf trying to dislodge the older scrapper.

Lynn shivered as the coldness of the ice cude peirced her skin. "nnnn!" She whimpered softly as she was distracted and she was so hot the ice was melting... however it was still cold and it raised goosebumps over her skin. It was enough to distract her from the fight and watching Dallas. She didn't want caged but she certainly was throbbing from need. Still panting Lynn couldn't even think to form words at the moment. Still holding onto the melting ice she was riveted to that spot. Lynn had never had so much trouble with a heat cycle before and that wasn't helping.

Michael had forgot that once Dallas locked up, he wouldn't let go for anything. It was hard to breath and he couldn't keep his legs under him, on his knees trying to get free..... Dallas held a couple seconds longer and dropped the unconscious brute to the floor. He looked at Rick with a predatory smile, "Come get yours bitch." Rick looked at Marcus and realized backing out would get him in more trouble than the beating and started out.

Hearing his deep growling voice Lynn moaned and clenched her hand around the ice cube. She was shivering all over fighting her inner beast. She didn't want locked up but... she felt like she was burning up from desire... Lynn closed her eyes and her muscles bunched up. She was either going to transform or jump over the railing, She just couldn't hold herself back after having been with Dallas and have her heat strike. She craved him like she'd never craved before and she felt so empty without him being inside of her. "Can't..." Lynn panted her voice more of a growl then anything else.

Shelia noticed her trouble and signaled Marcus who quickly stepped into the circle. "The next fight will move outside, if you'd all move outside now." he announced like a ringmaster. The men began to troop outside and Dallas managed to look up at Lynn and Shelia before heading outside. "Come now sister, time to be put under lock and key as the Alpha commands." Shelia said with a quiet authority. The rest would join her later after the fights ended, and the males left to roam the wilderness.

Lynn growled angrily, she deffinetly didn't like the men leaving and her teeth were starting to get longer and sharper. For a chance to mate Lynn wasn't exactly thinking correctly. In fact she was always really hazy about what happened when she was in heat. The memories were murky but she did remember, a good indicator she was not an omega. Lynn and her wolf were not going to go quietly to the cages that was for certain. Now that the men had been taken away she wasn't exactly in a fighting herself kind of mood. More of a fighting those who were taking the men away mood really.

Marcus looked up as the last person left and allowed his eyes to shift, "You two down here now." Shelia gently, but purposely prodded Lynn to the stairs so they could secure her. Watching her closely, Marcus took hold of something he could use to make her follow without violence. "You will head downstairs and recover something for your friend Dallas. Something that will make him very happy with you, do you understand?" he asked as a scent wafted up from the stairs to the basement.

"Want..." Lynn growled softly, keeping her eyes down as she moved away from Shelia's prodding hands. Lynn wanted to knock the other female aside. Going down the stairs made Lynn more and more aware of Marcus being male and the scent from the stairs was trying to get her attention but she just Wanted. She was one body filled with the lust of two beings and the drive enough to get what she wanted. She was no match for MArcus but that didn't mean she wouldn't begin the battle to mate. Even if she had to fight Shelia over him. Though the phantom she felt was Dallas the most prominent male she could smell was Marcus. water dripped from her hand as Lynn moved and she paid no attention to it. She wanted to tear off her clothing she was so hot, she began to feel her belt to begin undoing it and be able to take off her clothing. She didn't want to ruin the pants Dallas got her. Even the wolf was helping her with the fine motor skills so she could keep the treasured offering of affection.

Marcus manuevered her where he wanted her, going into her cage and beckoning her to come to him. Shelia followed them down stairs and waited, having a little more control over herself than Lynn currently had. "Dear little Lynn, come to me." Dallas' shirt in his hand, Lynn would do almost anything to get it back even come into her cage. Setting it in the far corner and walking away from the cage. Once Lynn went inside he would secure it for the night, his second might need a new shirt tomorrow, but at least no one would get killed.

Lynn instantly went to her knees and grabbed Dallas's shirt pulling it to her body and growling fiercly as she rubbed her face against it. HEr wolf was interested in the smell even though there was a male standing beside her. She was more interested in the sweaty shirt filled with Dallas's scent. Panting lynn groaned as her pants began to moisten. She began to fumble with her pants not wanting them to get ruined she knew she was going to change soon, and she did not want them to rip or let go of the shirt of course both were proving difficult.

Marcus calmly shut the door and locked it, knowing there was no way Lynn could leave the cage. "Shelia, you and Kristy secure yourselves, the bar is closed for the night. I will have our lesser brothers clean up since us males need to get a move on." He then climbed the stairs to go check on the other members of the pack. Shelia stayed a few seconds to see if Lynn was going to change or just snuggle with the shirt.

Lynn growled at Shelia before she began to shift. once finished She rammed the side of the cage before squatting by the shirt and whimpering her tail high as she prostrated herself. She was deep into the heat now and it wasn't foing to fade away too easily. Not after the romp with Dallas that she had been allowed to have. Not only that but she felt a real connectiong with Dallas somehow, and she wanted to keep feeling it. Even though right now all she wanted was a male to mount her and fill her with puppies. IT was a mad need.

"I'm sorry he had to trick you sister, can't have you trying to find a way to make Dallas mount you during this time." Shelia then waited for Kristy to come down and locked her in the other cage. Once secure Shelia did the same for herself and pitched the key far away from them all. It would be a long night with Lynn so sex-crazed in heat. Her last thought was exactly what had transpired between Lynn and Dallas.
