Fighting (To Be Yours)

Chapter 16

Turns out, Mason knew nothing about the ways of the wolf. He was more abrupt than subtle, more demanding than biding. Of course, I knew that already. I knew that this ride was going to be a hell of a lot of fun to watch. I had no clue it would be even more fun to ride on first hand. He was shunned by the entire family, excluding mom of course, and was practically ignored the entire dinner. Actually, he was ignored the entire dinner. He only spoke unless me or mom spoke to him. Once, mom trued to open a conversation including Libby and Mason. Let's just say that went less than well.

"If you fucking talk to her, I'll rip your balls off." Jesse snarled stabbing his peice of chicken through the bone with his fork.

"Jess-" Alissa started, gearing up to protect Mason from whaever attack her brother was planning.

"No, not this time. You'll not make me feel bad for protecting my sister. If he so much as breathes in her direction, so help me Goddess, I'm leaping over this table and smacking his dead little head off." With that he stuffed his face with chicken and vegetables.

"Come now, I'm sure we can be civil about this." Mom said sweetly, picking up her glass of coke and taking a sip before her eyes flit nervously around the table. She was testing how much power was here, and if there was neough that could hold Jesse back.

"Yeah, we can be civil about this," Lina said, her voice barely a growl "as soon as jerk face over there leaves this house."

"He's welcome to stay if he'd like." Dad said, putting authority behind it to keep everyone calm.

"The hell he is." Jesse snarled, ripping meat from his bone while staring at Mason. I sighed deeply and put down my fork and knife, my meal of chicken and veggies ruined. My eyes roamed to Libby and I saw I wasn't alone, I met Alissa's stare as we nodded.

"Why don't we move to dessert?"

"Is it Ok if I go to bed early. There's a test tomorrow that I'd like to be rested for." Lie. Blatant and almost painful to smell.

"Go on to bed honey, I'll be up later." Dad said, his wolf emerging due to his pup being in pain. We watched in somber silence as she got up. I smelt the saltiness of her tears before she hit the stairs. MAson stood up and things moved before my brain could calculate anything. Jesse stood, his chair scraping the floor violently and he formed his elemental weapon. It was something that I'd discovered the wolves born with elements could do. We had the power to shape our elements into any weapon we chose. Jesse favored swords, mainly of the japanese type, and summoned two kitana with his earth element. He pressed one to Mason's throat, right where his pulse would be if he had blod circulating through him, and another on his heart.

"If you take another step, you're dead." Jesse said simply, his eyes such a dark amber I couldn't tell if they were truly black.

"She's my mate, Jesse, no one would stop you from going to Anna." With a snarl the blades were pressed harder.

"Don't bring my mate into this, you fuck."

"Let me go to mine, I can soothe her better than any of you ever could." His temper was running thin, I saw it by the tick in his jaw.

"You've hurt her." Lina hissed, moving to stand behind her brother, water flew acorss her fists. If this didn't stop any time soon there would be an elemental breakdown that I wasn't willing to have right now.

"I know that, but I can't fix that because you pig headed wolves won't let me." He snarled, his fangs out and ready to do damage.

"Out of my house. Now." Jesse growled, pushing his element away and walking from the table.
