Strategies of A Romantic

A/N: this one is still in Alessio's POV and, being that the last chapter was a whopping 14 pages long, this one will be a bit shorter..... Hopefully not too short, but it certainly won't be 14 pages long either.....;);) this is another short, filler chap, but builds up to the next chapter that is jam filled with fluffy fluffiness.....:):)
Dedicated to XxBeautifulMistakeX for her recent reads, votes, and comments- thanks, girlie!!!:):)

Alessio POV

"Alex!"

Before I even knew what the hell I was doing, my Wolf had seized control and immediately Shifted even as we threw ourselves over the top of my desk. 'We have to get to our Mate, Alex! I'll give you back control as soon as I know that my Luna is safe....'

Nodding my head as our Wolf legs carried us out the door, I rolled my eyes and sucked in a breath. Goddess, if anything happened to her....

'See, this is why I took control... When something bad happens, you shut down and I'm left to deal with it... You are ruled way too easily by your emotions...' My Wolf's snappy response struck a chord in me then, and I vowed to control myself better. 'And let's face it,' I could practically see the smirk on his lips in my head, even as I felt my own Wolf lips pull up over my teeth, 'I am better than you at practically everything....'

Rolling my eyes, I stumbled to a halt at the base of the stairway, even as my Wolf fought with me. 'What are you doing, idiot?!? We must save our Mate!' He snapped angrily before doing an internal happy dance as he jerked control back away from me, wasting absolutely no time before he jumped. Then, we were flying through the air towards the bottom story of the Pack House. My Wolf had just cleared a whole frigging flight of stairs!

'See what happens when you submit wholly and completely to me, Alessio?!? Do you see the things that you- we- are capable of?!? You need me...' My Wold released a slow breath even as he deeply inhaled, trying to catch our Mate's scent. 'And I need you...' Then, he was racing like a mad man- or, Wolf- into the entertainment room. Glad he told me where my Mate was...

"Alex?!!" My little one's voice was soft yet husky as she peeked over the back of the couch, eyes widening as she took in my large Wolf form. Before I knew it, she had vaulted her self over the back of the couch and had my thick fur twined into her fingers. "Hi, Alex... We, um, need to get you some clothes..." A pink blush dusted her cheeks lightly as she cocked her head to the side, eyes roving over my Wolf body. "Like, now... Where's Dino?!?"

As she spoke, my Beta himself rushed into the room with a worried look in his eye- he sensed my panic towards Luna, which was good because that meant the bond between my Mate and our Pack was already forming. "Here ya go, man... Keep our Luna safe, and happy, won't ya- she scared us all to death!" With that, he ducked right back out the door.

Giving my Mate one more long, last look, I ducked out the door that led outside and into the nearby cover of trees. The air around me that was at once so full of bird chirps and Wolf howls silenced as my bones popped and realigned, and with that, I had Shifted.

Anxious to get back to my Mate, I all but stumbled through the outer edges of trees stark naked as I tried and failed to pull the joggers up around my waist. 'Gee, some help you are!'

'I can't help that you're just so damn impatient,' my Wolf retorted, a weird Wolf chuckle sounding off in my head. 'But seriously, hurry your ass up- we need to check on our Mate...'

'Well, no shit...' Rolling my eyes, I finally managed to jerk the joggers up and tie them around my waist, just as my hand reached for the door handle. 'Shut up now... I'm not about to get into this with you right now...'
