** Entry for a Contest run by @TeaNHeartache ** PROMPT: Something Wicked This Way Comes Aithne Mac Cionaoith is quite certain she has the wrath of a thousand burning suns within her. There are only a handful of people she can abide, and her tongue spares no one. Not The Mór-Ríoghain, who long ago plagued her family with a curse, to sheathe a wolf, of snarls, tooth, and claw, beneath their skin. Not the members of her Clan. And most definitely not her Alpha. She despises him for what he did to her family, for his cowardice, and for how little he resembles a true Alpha. When his cowardice takes a turn for the worst, inviting wickedness to their door, plunging what remains of her family in peril, Aithne makes a swift decision -- one that might doom her fate -- to call upon someone who could be either friend or foe.
