She Wolf

Chapter 2

WICESSA

I frowned as I saw Luke sitting on my couch, eating popcorn. I could have sworn I smelled him, that Alpha. Relieved but slightly disappointed, I asked Luke, "How in the hell did you get here so fast? You were right behind me!" He gave me a giant smile, giving me a sneak peek of the popcorn in his mouth. Gross. "Luke, you can't just come into my house whenever you feel like it," I breathed out. I was truly tired, and I needed to sleep. But not with him in the house. Luke made his way over to me, where I was, leaning on the doorframe.

"Come on Wicessa, you know you love it when I'm here," he told me, wiggling his eyebrows. I let out a heavy sigh. I had no time for his games, Beta or not, I was still the Alpha here. He leaned closer, causing me to back up against the wall. I was too shocked for words. Both of his hands found their places beside my head. Luke never acted like this. Of course I knew he had a crush on me, I've known since forever! We were childhood friends, and he developed feelings for me, but I couldn't return them. Hell, any 5 year old would notice if your friend gave you a bouquet of poorly picked flowers everyday. It was cute, but I honestly wasn't interested. And, although I hate to admit it, I did have a mate. As I was thinking, he leaned in more, tilting his head slightly. Trying to stop him politely, I laid both of my hands on his chest, pushing a little to tell him I was, and will not be interested. He didn't get the hint. Before I could slap him to his senses, I heard an intense growl as someone leaped behind the couch, ramming into Luke's side.

JAY

When I finally led the pack safely into the Storm territory, I gave them orders not to go near the borders again. As fun as it was to see the ShadowThorn Alpha mad, I knew it was annoying having unknown wolves go in and out of your land. I wasn't as immature as you'd think. I walked around the land, greeting people here and there, playing with the pups once in a while. But I was distracted, and I really wanted to see that feisty wolf again. She was my mate after all, so that gave me a right to see her. Right? Ah, who am I doubting, I am allowed to see her. I made my way towards ShadowThorn, carefully avoiding the wolves during rounds. Man, she was going to need better reinforcements, no wonder she kept getting visitors. Her patrol wolves sucked. Another reason to go and see her. Sneaking my way over, I tryed sniffing her out. And of course I could, who could forget that sweet scent radiating off her. The scent was stronger and stronger, until I looked up to see a big and lofty cabin. So she lived in a cabin. She was a nature girl. I found that even more sexier. I heard some laughter and wolves coming my direction. Oh sh!t. I had to act fast, I wasn't supposed to be in ShadowThorn territory, let alone their Alpha's home. Spotting an open window on the second floor, I had no hesitation as I stepped back, ready to leap. Running so it was easier, I pushed off a big rock and jumped onto the balcony. In the window I go. And then I heard someone open the door. Thinking it was her, I slowly make my way downstairs, careful not to make any noise. At least the TV was on, hiding my heavy steps down the stairs. As I scanned the room, I realized some dude was in the kitchen, microwaving popcorn. What the hell? When he turned around, I ducked before he could realize I was there. That dimwit. He should have been able to sniff me out by now. And then I remembered his face. He was the Beta of this pack, Louis or something. WHAT THE HELL?! Why the hell was he here? I tried with all my might to keep my growl in. It didn't work. Well f**k. I guess Sherlock finally figured out he wasn't alone, because I heard his footsteps coming closer and closer. But then the door opened, and her scent wafted in the air, telling me she was finally home. I heard the numbskull running to the couch hiding me, throwing popcorn in his mouth. Well that was close.

"How in the hell did you get here so fast? You were right behind me!" I heard her agitated voice from my couch. Damn. She was adorable. I smiled to myself, at least I knew she didn't go around, playing with her Beta. "Luke, you can't just come into my house whenever you feel like it!" Ha! What now Louis...er, Luke?! She doesn't want you here. She wants you to leave. So leave. He finally got his a*s off the couch, and I mentally celebrated. YES! He was leaving.

"Come on Wicessa, you know you love it when I'm here." Well I'll be damned. The dude wants to get beaten up. I clawed at myself, urging myself to keep calm, urging my Wolf to settle down. Gritting my teeth, I waited for her to send him off. She didn't. Why was it taking him so long to leave!? I peeked over the couch, watching him come closer to her, leaning closer towards her as she was backing up against the wall. Her eyes were wide open, showing that endless ocean of crystal blue. I was clawing myself more, and more, and saw as blood started showing. Sh*t. I couldn't take it any longer. she was mine. MINE! I let out a huge growl, as I jumped from behind the couch, and running full force into the prick who thought that he could mess around with other people's mates. I landed a punch directly on his face, and another one in his stomach. "MINE! SHE'S MINE! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING YOU DUMBA*S. SHE'S MINE!!!" I saw red, as I continued meeting his body with my fists. I couldn't stop, not until Wicessa suddenly pushed me off his body, kneeling in front of him. Why was she protecting him? He was about to take advantage of her! I snarled at her, trying to make her move, but instead, I saw her flinch. Oh no. I just went apesh*t on her Beta.

WICESSA

"STOP! Stop it! Get off him!" I screamed at him, urging him to stop beating the crap out of my Beta. That was my job. What was his name again? Oh yeah. Jay. That was such a sexy name. For such a sexy guy. Oops. What the hell am I thinking when Luke is getting knocked out by Jay?! "Jay!" I shrieked. Well, obviously, yelling was not working. So I pushed him off Luke's limp body, catching him by surprise. I quickly kneeled in front of Luke, becoming a barricade. Jay let out a fierce snarl, scaring me. I couldn't help but wince at his voice. Damn me. I was supposed to be strong. But apparently, my response snapped him out of his white-hot rage. I saw his expression soften.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. He glanced behind me to see Luke, who was clearly knocked out. I mentally gave myself a facepalm. My own Beta couldn't defend himself as he was getting beaten up. But then again, he was caught off guard.

I looked back at him, watching him stare at the ground in shame. My heart tugged just a bit. I couldn't help but take his chin in my fingers, and lifting his gaze to mine. I stared into those navy blue eyes as I replied to him softly, "It's fine. Just help me get him on the couch. Don't do it again." My fingers left his chin, making the sparks stop, and the emptiness start. I saw the relief on his face as he threw Luke's body roughly over his shoulder. "JAY!" I shouted, surprised at my own tone. His head snapped back to my face, and widened his eyes, questionning me. "Could you be a little gentler? He just went through 5 minutes of hell back there," I said with a glare. I followed Jay as he walked back to the living room, and settling Luke on the couch. Gently. I saw him looking back at me, eyebrows raised as if he was asking for my approval. Well, at least I know my mate listens. I gave him a slight nod as a response. "You could leave now," I told him. As much as my Wolf loved the little interaction back there, I was still tired as hell. I saw his face fall at my words. Well splendid. I just hurt a little puppy dog. I walked towards him, and put my hand on his cheek. There goes the sparks. "You just beat up my Beta. Your not staying." His face showed a mixture of shock and confusion, obviously not expecting me to say that. I continued, but this time a little more softly. "Thank you though, I'll probably see you soon."

He offered me a sad smile before telling me, "Sorry. Bye." I could barely hear him. He turned and walked away, making my hand fall awkwardly to my side. The emptiness was coming back, and I felt my Wolf howl in pain from seperating. Man, this was getting harder and harder.
