Ebony and Jade

The Rising Sun Pack had traditions outsiders found deeply confusing. Mates came in trios instead of pairs. Full moons required community dinners. But perhaps the strangest tradition of all was the pack’s tendency to treat property damage like a personality trait. Ebony embodied that tradition perfectly. As an omega wolf, She was small, energetic, and possessed the sort of smile that warned innocent bystanders something expensive was about to explode. The local town knew her mostly through her graffiti. Ebony called it art. Unfortunately, Ebony eventually made the mistake of targeting the old church. The cathedral roof was lined with gargoyle statues, and at two in the morning Ebony decided one looked “boring.” Armed with spray paint and terrible judgment, she climbed onto the roof and started decorating. The statue moved halfway through. Ebony’s first thought was that she’d inhaled too much paint. Her second was considerably shorter, mostly because the gargoyle had grabbed her by the ankle and lifted her off the roof. Jade had spent centuries guarding the church and frightening vandals away. She also took personal offense to being covered head to toe in metallic pink spray paint. “You painted my face,” Jade growled. “In my defense,” Ebony replied while dangling over a forty-foot drop, “you have fantastic bone structure.” Jade’s first instinct was to throw her off the building. Technically, she did. She also regretted it immediately. The moment Ebony started screaming on the way down, Jade panicked, dove after her, and caught her just before impact. The two locked eyes in stunned silence. Ebony blinked. “So… are you single?” Jade realized with growing horror that she was absolutely smitten. It was love at first near-death experience. Now the pair spends most of their time causing problems together while searching for the unfortunate future third mate destined to fall in love with both of these disasters.
