The White Alpha

Dinner

The tall one suddenly stuck his hand out, stopping the other from moving forward. Their eyes focused on something or someone behind Bobby.

"You two are a long way from home." The deep growl of Emilian sent both wolves into shock. "Lost again I presume?"

"This doesn't concern you Emilian." The tall one snapped.

Before Nash couldn't understand what happened, one of the wolves lay on the ground groaning in pain. The tall one yelped at being slammed against the hood of the car. Emilian's hand wrapped around his throat.

"It very much concerns me, Jake." Emilian growled. "When you stalk and attempt to ambush a member of my pack, it very much becomes my fucken concern." Tightening his hold on the windpipe, Emilian leaned in closer. "Come near him again, and I will personally tear your throat out. Feed it to your mate, gut her and feed that to your pups. And then only then will I kill them."

Nash cringed at the vivid image he just got from the words alone. Seeing the two men scramble away from Emilian, they took off running. Not once did they look back. "T-thank you for that."

"Don't worry about it." His voice held no friendly tone. Picking up his phone, which had dropped, Emilian gave him a slight head nod. "I'll be seeing you around Nash."

Bobby fought with his inner demon. He felt the animal inside him. The same animal that was currently begging him not to let Emilian leave. "Wait."

The wolf paused, turning his head to the side, but refusing to turn around. "What is it?"

"We are having steak tonight." Bobby wasn't sure what he was doing. "And I just picked up three bottles of wine." He gestured towards the car. "Come join us for dinner."

Emilian raised a brow. "I do-"

"Look you just saved my life." Bobby chuckled. "It's the least I can do."

Taking in a deep breath, he exhaled slowly. "Alright, I'd be happy to."

Bobby knew this was the last thing he should be doing. This was the complete opposite of creating distance. But seeing him leave was giving him a nagging feeling. The thing living inside him particularly howled at the thought of this wolf leaving. He didn't understand it, but after tonight he will break all contact with them.

Pulling into the driveway Bobby parked his truck next to Michaels. Emilian followed closely behind him like a lost puppy. "Try to avoid any subject on all of...you." Bobby cringed at his own words. "I don't wish them knowing and if Athena ever finds out I let a wolf in the house, she'll shoot us both."

"Shoot?"

"She's Sargent with the LAPD." Bobby replied.

Emilian laughed. "Seriously? A fireman and a cop. What the hell was Erik thinking."

"I ask myself that every moment since I met you." Opening the door, he gave Emilian one last warning. "Keep it quiet."

"Bobby?" Athena walked into the living room, stopping at the sight of the stranger. "Uh, hello."

"Hello." Emilian offered a warm smile. He wasn't stupid in making a move. A woman like the one standing in front of him was as dangerous as a mad wolf. "I'm Emilian, a pleasure to meet you."

"Athena." She slowly glanced at her husband, greeting him with a quick kiss. "I sent you for wine and you come back with a friend?"

"More like a stray." Bobby mumbled. "I invited him over for dinner, Emilian is an old friend of mine. I bumped into him at the store." He leaned back, watching her closely. "I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier."
