The Fox and the Alpha

{17}

It's been three weeks since I started training the pack, only two weeks since we got a another threat from the Rogues. I had been in the living room, flipping through channels as I waited for Xander. He was taking me on a date, and he was taking forever to get dressed.

I mean seriously, wasn't the girl supposed to take forever?

There was a knock on the door, and when I went to open it I screamed. There was a dead wolves head, with a note pinned to his forehead. Xander came running back down while I was crying, it was a pack warrior named Dave.

Better watch your princesses back, would be a pity if she ended up like this.

Ever since then, I'd been with Xander at all times. If he wasn't with me then either Daniel or Alex was, even Brian started to help protect me. I got to know Alex's mate while he was protecting me one day, turns out he came to the pack to deliver a message from his Alpha. He ran into Alex and the rest was history.

He actually was really sweet, albeit a little short tempered. He threw great pranks though, I mean, can you really ask any more from your mate?

I guess you could ask for mind blowing sex, but I don't think you can really control that.

Either way, I was sitting next to a standing Xander. We both were in front of the pack, who was sparing with their partners. Only one fought in human form and the other in wolf, something about strengthening your wolf form. I smiled as I trailed my fingers up Xander's leg, earning me a shiver.

'You're turning him on.'

Clary teased me about how I effected Xander all the time, but I secretly loved it. I rolled my eyes as her, continuing my barely there touch on his skin. I watched him crouch down to me as they continued sparing, getting centimeters within my ear.

"If you keep doing that, I may just have to punish you." He growled out, nipping my earlobe as he stood back up. "When you're finished training is done, don't do anything stupid."

I smiled as I stood up, my fingers trailing back over his naked torso. "What if I want to?"

I chuckled at his black filled eyes, turning and swaying my hips a little bit more as I walked up to the house. I walked and grabbed a water bottle, drinking it slowly as everyone made their way into the house. We were having another huge pack dinner in an hour or so, so almost the entire pack had made their way to our home.

I smiled as I watched my mate walk in with his Beta and Delta, laugher filling the space between them. It's been so long since I saw any of them laugh, or even break out in a full fledge smile.

"I'm going to go for a run, I haven't let Clary out in a while and she's getting restless."

"Take Alex with you." I grumbled as Xander spoke, rolling my eyes before simply nodding and making my way out the door. I began running with Alex not far behind me, shifting when I hit the tree line.

'Your butt looked cute this afternoon.' Xander mindlinked me as I was running, a bark like laugh leaving my snout.

'Hurry up Alex, come on Beta.' He nipped at me as I ran, pushing my legs to run faster than him.

I made my way to my lake, the waterfall spraying against me. I smiled as I looked over the edge, my red and orange fur daunting me. I heard rustling behind me, but I just thought it was Alex.

"Hello little Luna!" I whirled around to see the Rogue that had choked me in high school, my breath catching in my throat.

I shifted in front of him, tugging on my clothes as fast as I could. "What the hell are you doing here?"
