WILLIAM'S POV

Alice barked and growled at Will as he took her into his arms. He almost hissed at the mongrel controlling his girlfriend but he restrained himself. This mongrel was his Alice. He could only imagine how pissed she was at him for manhandling her. To be honest it probably wasn't a good idea to touch her in wolf form. She was so ruled by her animalistic instincts that she would probably attack him without a thought. Will took a deep breath and said calmly,"Relax. I'm taking you to someone who can help us understand this." Alice huffed, unsatisfied with his answer. Will chuckled and headed off to their destination.

Fifteen minutes later Will was standing in front of his boss, explaining the situation. "So you see sir...Alice is a wolf." Boss looked from Will to Alice and then back again. He then waved a hand to two other vampire in the corner of the room,"Kill the mongrel. The Fates were mistaken when they gave her to our William."

Alice growled deep in her throat as the two lackeys advanced toward Will.  Will looked down at the beautiful creature in his arms and kissed the top of her head. She jumped out of his and leapt toward the nearest vampires jugular. The second one moved to help the first but Will slammed into him. They crashed to the floor and Will straddled his opponent, hands around his throat. His opponents laughed,"I don't need to breathe, idiot. You're pathetic William! I mean, really! You fell in love with a bitch?! I should kill you, just for daring to touch me!"

Will's face contorted with rage but he spoke calmly,"I'm going to enjoy killing you.  You messed with the wrong vampire. That's my Person tearing your friend apart. I'm so proud." Will let his fangs elongate and then bit savagery into  the neck of the creative underneath him.  His kill screamed and thrashed but Will was an immobile force.  He  drank deeply because he knew it hurt when vampires drank from each other and then whispered into the lackeys ear,"I don't care what she is. She's mine. I love her." The lackey tried to grab Will but Will grabbed his hand and broke it. "Don't. Touch. Me. I suppose that won't be an issue anymore." Will grew out his claws and tore into the lackeys chest. He tore through his chest to get to his heart.  He was disgusted that this damned creatures' heart still beat a slow rhythm. William hadn't drained enough blood for the heart to stop.

The human blood a vampire consumed kept their  organs running enough to keep their hands warm, face humanly pale and heart beating slowly. They had been killed but jump started by venom and by blood. They needed a slow, subtle beat to circulate blood and to keep from permanent decomposition. The lackey was trying to regenerate while Will held his heart in his hand. Will hissed at him and squeezed his heart. Blood splattered everywhere an instant before the lackey disappointed.  Will stood up and walked over to Alice and her prey. She was tearing away at her would-be killers' chest cavity like a dog digging for something it had buried. Will watched in fascination as she dug out the heart. He expected her to eat it but instead she barked at him. Will was puzzled,"Don't you want it?" It'll be your first kill." She huffed and used tore the heart in half with her teeth and dropped the bigger half at his feet.  Realization dawned on Will; mated werewolves ate their prey together! What would be the comprise here? He knelt down next to Alice. She looked at him, head cocked to the side in confusion. He smiled at her,"Squish your half with your paw after three." They looked at each other.  Will smiled and said," One. Two. Three." Alice stamped on the heart and howled as the blood matted into her fur. William squeezed his half of the heart.

Will rested a hand on Alice. She whined at him and het tail wagged. He laughed,"You did good, love.  We should get you home. But first....we seem to have a loose end. Wait here, please. Boss is ancient. If he hurt you...just wait here. Please." He stared into her eyes, trying to make her submit. She stared back at him, refusing. Will sighed got up and strode over to Boss. Boss looked uncomfortable but didn't move. Will grabbed him by his throat and said,"I know I can't kill you by myself, sir. However, my Person insists on calling me her Mate. I find I quite like that title, it gives me more freedom. Did you know that Mates kill together, sir? Before I let you go, look at my mate. Look at her. She wants to destroy you. I will let her sir." Will yanked his hand back.

Boss looked at Alice. She growled, low in her throat. Boss hissed at her. Will swept his legs out from under him.  Alice looked at Will. Will shook his head. Not yet. He  knelt in front of Boss and spoke to him as if he were a child,"Come now, sir. You know as well as I that when a vampire falls in love with his Person he's dangerous. You know not to spit in that Persons' direction." Will kicked him in the stomach again and again.  Boss grabbed Will's leg and twisted it in his hand. Will screamed as the bone snapped. Alice whimpered and lunged at Boss.

Will lunged to grab her but was a second too late. Boss punched Alice with so much force that she went flying.. With a burst of vampire speed, Will caught Alice just before she hit the wall.

Boss got to his feet and spoke with calm authority,"I suggest you go find a werewolf pack to train her. She has much to learn." Will gathered Alice into his arms and limped out of Boss's office, stating,"We will be back to kill you. I won't rest until you're dead!"
