My wolf and I had a huge fight the first time I let a woman go down on me since bringing Kennedy home. He was so pissed that while her brunette curls were bobbing up and down on my c*ck and I was picturing my mate’s blonde silky strands draped over me, he started planting images in my head of old men, gnarled old wolves and my mother just to kill the mood completely. Then he laughed for hours after. I just pulled the she-wolf off me and walked out and left her very confused and sitting in the middle of the floor while I had a limp d*ck dangling in between my legs. 2
I have been in three different areas over the last three weeks working on building and improvement projects, scenting the borders and following up on more threat rumors. All three areas have beautiful women who are mateless and willing to serve their alpha. Every time I have tried for a release, my wolf has shut it down. I tried to compromise but he won’t even let me rub one out myself now. Whatever the sexual version of ‘hangry’ is, that’s me driving back to my packhouse.
I have been getting regular reports from Danny, Robin and a few other trusted warriors on Kennedy’s behavior. Bennet too, but his reports have become so surface level that they are almost worthless. I don’t think he’s lying, I think he’s leaving out personal things that might allow me to get to know her. He’s not happy I didn’t take her with me or even tell her I was leaving. The only women I have ever had to check in with are Robin and my mother. The former needs to know, because she handles my schedule. The latter is because she’s my mother. I can’t justify risking her life again. Not after we were attacked just driving back to the pack and her vehicle took the first hit and the most damage. She was in harm’s way completely surrounded. I’m just glad that Grant is an exceptional driver and was in her vehicle during the impact.
“Somebody put a f*cking bell on this girl and a tracker while we’re at it.” I hate the panic in his voice and I immediately know it’s about Kennedy. My blood runs cold
“Bennet?! What’s wrong?!” My wolf is all ears ready for action.
“We were on a run, and before you lose your sh*t, there were five of us with Kennedy and we were running inside the forest line. You approved the trail and we followed protocol.” I will smack him upside the head for the attitude as soon as I see him, I feel a ‘but’ coming though. “Four wolves, pack, not rogues, came out of the forest. One attacked me immediately, he knew I was her gamma. This was planned. Jensen was closest to her, they took off for the packhouse while we handled the situation, two dead and two in custody. He’s a rookie though and somehow managed to lose her.” He’s panting, but I can’t tell if it’s from running or adrenaline at losing Kennedy.
“WHAT!?” My wolf roars and I can feel all their wolves whimper. “Where is he now? How the f*ck do you lose a human in the woods?
“I won’t give you excuses Alpha. I can feel her, but I can’t find her. I assume she’s hiding, but we have no way to let her know it’s safe without yelling out. We haven’t finished the sweep so we can’t call to her yet, it’s not safe. The minute I shift to human, I lose her scent. She’s good at masking and I can’t risk it. We need you.”?Grant has already stopped the car on the side of the road and we are out, tearing through our clothes as we shift. It doesn’t take long for us to get to their position and I’m not shocked to find that they are not far from where Don’s border is. The one Claude is trying to take over. I really just need to kill him. It takes no time for my wolf to lock on to her scent. We come to an area of evergreen trees and it gets muddled, so I shift. Het Bennet keep tracking her scent as a wolf and keep me on track. She’s done a better job than the night she tried to sneak out of her pack. I wonder if she thinks she can use the opportunity to leave Dark Moon as well? That thought makes my anger flare all
over again. My wolf won’t let her leave willingly.
“She’s got a rude awakening coming if that is her intention. I will lock her in a cell myself.” My wolf grumbles.
“That’s going to be hard without opposable thumbs.”
“Shut up, you know what I mean. She’s a proven flight risk and she’s a danger to herself right now.”
“See?! You’re finally understanding why we need to reject her. She’s a danger to EVERYONE!”
“F*ck you. We need to mark her, so we can track her, dumbass.”
“Can you honestly tell me you are willing to risk her life to try?”
We are never going to agree on this at all. He’s still grumbling in my head when I get sick of walking blindly around the woods. If there are any more assholes out here ready to attack. Bring ’em on. We are so pissed off right now, they don’t stand a chance.
“Kennedy?!” I shout into the trees. “Come out. It’s over. Bennet is losing his damn mind cause he can’t find you.”
“It’s good to know who really cares.” I spin and almost trip over my own feet. I think my heart f*cking stopped and restarted at three times the speed it’s supposed to be at. She literally walks around a tree trunk surrounded by brush not more than ten feet from me.
Relief washes over me at the sight of her. She’s safe and beautiful with her usual scowl directed at me. I want to run and wrap her in my arms and shake the sh*t out of her for scaring us like that. I do nothing but Stare though, controlling my breathing.
“Yeah, well Jensen is going to get the beating of his life and then the sh*ttiest patrol for a month after losing track of you. That’s on you. Never leave your protector. You should know better!” I seeth. I can be mad now that I know she is unharmed and right in front of me. “I haven’t had a chance to check on Bennet, but he was attacked. That’s also on you. The other three warriors who were with you have better things to be doing than babysitting you and you managed to put them all in danger. If any of them had gotten hurt, that would have been on you too.”
“F*ck you Ryker. We followed all your stupid rules and Bennet got hurt. Your protocol is five warriors with me when I am out. I want Jensen assigned to my detail with Bennet permanently, starting immediately. The boy did amazing considering it was his first run with us. He allowed me time to do what I needed to do to be taken out of the equation so they could focus on the four rogues who attacked. No one got to me. He did his job and so did I.”
So, she was able to analyze the situation and is giving feedback. Ugh! She was in danger, I can’t be impressed by her actions right now. So what if she knows that she is the weak link in a fight and can hide well. She could have been seriously hurt or taken. “No. They weren’t focused. They were distracted trying to find you.” I growl.
“No! They focused on the fight and then came to look for me, but I can’t mindlink anyone to know it was safe, because you won’t make me a pack member. I don’t know who is and isn’t a part of this pack, it’s too damn big and you won’t let me learn. I don’t know who is setting traps to get to you or me. Anyone could?have forced one of the guys to call out to get to me. This isn’t my first rodeo with kidnapping, Ryker.”
“You won’t get Jensen on your detail.”
“No?! Watch me.” Her eyes narrow and I swear I can feel an aura of power come from her, but that’s impossible, she’s human.
“No. You can’t have him. Is this going to be a thing we do? I give you an answer you don’t like, and you just repeat it back to me?”
“No.” She raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms over her chest and I notice her outfit for the first time. She is in tiny black running shorts and a purple tank top with a small amount of cleavage pushed up. My wolf is drooling, but I am getting more irritated by the second. Everything fits like it was molded to her with far too much skin showing. This
“You cannot be serious.” I rub my forehead. I can’t deal with this right now. “They let you out in that? You are running in the forest half naked and winter is almost here. You are probably almost frozen. Let’s go finish this discussion at the house.” I throw a thumb over my shoulder.
“I have a run to finish and there is nothing wrong with what I am wearing. You guys are naked all the time. We will see you when we are done.” She gestures behind her and I was so focused that I forgot we had an audience. Their furry heads are just ping ponging back and forth between the two of us. F*cking d*cks. I can’t really blame them. I assigned them to her, so she technically should be able to give them orders, but I am their alpha and they will do what I say, even if it pisses her off.
