Chapter 14. Cupcakes

I'd never heard anything like this before.

Never something so thunderous, yet majestic and murderous yet alluring all at the same time. It had my mind in a clouded lusty confused haze. Not a great mix. Even me – a human, or I think I am – could very clearly pinpoint the amount of power he was putting into this, this roar.

Yes, a roar. I can't think of any other word that could fit what I heard. I heard something just beneath Lucas' exuding power play, a humming of some sort in the stillness of the pack's yard. Lucas looked furious, which was an understatement, but he clearly wasn't humming. I didn't know how to describe him really, I had never seen him like this before. I've only ever seen the Lucas that cradles me and rocks me from side to side when I'm sad, or tickles me just to hear me laugh. I've been lucky to know that side of Lucas, because this side is not one I would like to meet head on. I would rather be six feet under then be the cause of that look on his face.

Visibly, knees shook as his pack members fell to the grass covered earth. Whimpers escaped the children's mouths, some women while the men's lips trembled with fear. It was weird, to say the least. I know that wolves are physically stronger than me, so why didn't I feel the urge to fall to my knees? My brows furrowed in confusion before I glanced back to Lucas, hoping he may have the answer but decided against it when he was still fuming. My nerves from earlier had dissipated, it was no secret that my presence with their Alpha was a shock, but again, those nerves disappeared into nothingness now that the urge to comfort him took hold.

Lucas' chest was still heaving up and down, visible even through his blue flannel while his jaw was clenched. I inwardly cursed myself for finding the attractiveness in a jaw line, especially at a time like this. My thumb began to rub small circles on the top of his hand, but the moment my foot moved to stand in front of him his voice echoed clearly through the yard. "I will NOT tolerate your gossiping mouths or spiteful looks towards my mate." His once beautiful forest green, now black eyes glanced from one edge of the yard to the other while I watched on with my jaw dropped. Lucas took a step forward in front of my frame, angling slightly in a defensive stance. "If I catch wind of anyone, and I mean fucking anyone, speaking hatefully or being disrespectful to my mate and your future Luna you'll be begging me for a simple ass beating. You'll wish you had never been born."

I gasped lightly when the entire pack population shuddered violently and replied in unison, "yes Alpha."

"DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY?" I could tell he was getting worked up again, I just wasn't entirely sure what to do, Lucas always calmed me down, he is usually the one that is patient and collected. It wasn't until a rumble vibrated through his chest and into the air that I realized his wolf was the main reason behind his anger.

"Lucas," I whispered while positioning myself in front of him. Standing on the tips of my toes, my hands reached out for his cheeks that were dusted in a five o'clock shadow, despite the fact it was barely afternoon. Lightly turning his face in my direction, his black eyes with hints of hazel finally settled on my face. I made gentle movements, softening my eyes and giving him a small smile, while continuing to stroke his cheeks. "Lucas –

He growled lightly, showcasing a few of his fangs. In an effort to remain calm, I pushed back the tremors of my body and forced my heart to remain at a steady pace. When his wolf was out, I assumed he was driven by animalistic instincts, they played on fear and a racing heart was a telltale sign of fear. It was still a shock to see him that way, especially since I've only seen him shift once – and I passed out. "Gabriel," he whispered while stepping closer. The hazel tones in his eyes became more apparent when his pupils began to retreat back to their normal size. "Gabriel," I responded with an understanding look, "you need to relax. Breathe. Everything is okay –
