Only this time we see them up and down both sides of the banks. One after another they step out. Following his gaze to the ridge where we saw the cabin, The ridge was no longer empty. Along the ridge lining it stood four Wulves. Carmen, Randall, and Thom began growling. Eyes starting to grow lighter.
RUBEN moves putting me behind him speaking with authority and command "don't get out" the bushes around us begin to rustle more intensely.
I look to see more wolves appearing all along both sides of the bank, we were surrounded. All around except for the ridge, where I remember the out of sight cabin being. RUBEN speaks using Wulf speak to the three on the rock ledge "get in the water slowly & quietly" Randall does as told but asks "why? they're no match for us." Ruben responds, "Because this pack is huge and if I need to use my element, I don't want you to get hurt." For a moment Randall is still. He is not one to back down from a fight. But this is his Alpha and he obeys. All three do as Ruben said.
"wa? How?" Randall says getting into the water. His eyes no longer glowing though. He notices something Ruben has not.
"When I tell you, we all phase and jump for the ledge. Use your feet, feel for leverage within the water to push off from. Alexi you stay in the pool".
"Agreed," says Carmen and Thom in unison in response to his command, their eyes glowing as they slowly find a submerged boulder under the water preparing now to use to jump from.
Randall turns his head down a little and chuckles "You guys are really paranoid. In case you have not noticed. They not growling. They're staring at ALEXI, da black one's tail is slightly wagging, with love. But when dey look at us yes. WE ARE da threats."
"WHAT?" I look and see Randall's point. THEIR focus was not ALEXI only on us. I wulf Speak "Your suggestion Beta?" Randall responds, "let him get out" I respond with an angry clear tone "FUCK NO!!" Randall spins his head towards his new Alpha "They won't harm him. Their Alpha, his mate, Beta and her mate are da ones standing on the ridge whining low, short, but excited. If I am right, these are da very wolves he raised." holding an irritated growling tone "What the hell makes you so sure RANDALL".
"Again, because they are standing on the ridge looking to him. slightly whining low, happy. Look and listen for yourself." RUBEN looks to the ridge. He sees a pitch-black wolf with orange eyes, a silver one, a tan one, and two gray ones all looking to ALEXI sides slightly forcibly breathing, pushing in short rapid breathing, signs of wolf whines. Their body language is anxious, fidgety. But they are not coming any closer.
"WAIT!" I interrupt them "He's right. Pa Pls let me try?" My eyes meet Alexi's "I am sorry amor NO. I am not taking that chance. I just found you and will not place you in danger."
"Then I will do it this way." Sarcastically looking at my own mate saying "I'm sorry too Ruben." Having already found a rock before them to push off from I leap.
Out of the pool right onto the ridge with the wolves and they yelp. Jumping and licking my face. Just as fast is Rubens jump landing a foot away. Phasing airborne, landing, revealing a snarling, salivating, teeth snapping, hackles raised, Stiff legged Crimson about to charge.
Instantly he is joined by a menacing CELESTE and a third Kerval. The pack begins meeting their threat, snarling preparing to charge themselves as they now come slowly around me in front, shielding me within.
Crimson charges but I yell, he halts. "STOP!! I SAID NO!" my tone becomes Alpha powerful as within a second a gray cloud first forms then turns black. Lightning flashes and a loud crackle booms. "All of you listen to me, You are all my pack"
The wolf pack does not press further their attack. They look to me, back at the Wulves, snarling, standing their ground, but they do not charge. I look at the black wulf, the Alpha. A name enters my mind.
"Sabbath. No. That's MY MATE and they my pack as well. Scent the air. He is standing downwind" Sabbath smells the air, picks up Crimsons scent mixed with mine. For a moment he looks at a threatening Crimson, then he relaxes sits down and howls. The rest of the pack relaxes, sits and does the same.
I rests my hand on Sabbath "Sabbath, stay here let me handle this." He cocks his head then lets his tongue hang out. He will follow my wishes.
I look at Crimson and the others still approaching stiff legged, frustrated with them, Ugh stubborn fuckers. I walk to Crimson "pa, look at them. They only need to know you and they will be fine they are also my, pack. You can't harm them. before them, except for Carmen I was alone. Randall would teleport me back and forth. But he only came and went dropping me off at my request. Leaving me alone with them. I feel close to them, like my Wulves back home. They won't attack if you don't give them a reason to. TRUST me." Sabbath walks up to sit beside me.
Crimson stopped his threatening posture now. Looking at Sabbath "he looks familiar mate." he says looking at the black wolf and sits.
The black wolf looks at Crimson and his tail starts wagging. He lowers himself in submission showing his neck. Everyone is Stunned Sabbath now, gets up and walks away, stopping once to look back at Crimson, a short puppy like whine escaping him with a short tail wag before looking back to his mate, continuing to her.
It is Done. Just like that Crimson is now Alpha of this pack. Everyone phases back, pulling out bathrobes from the backpack. Everyone except a soaked Randall, who had never phased at all. Walking past the others, heading towards his Luna he says "Told ya" RUBEN growls at him "Bitch" to which Randall responds as he bows royal like "Ms. Beyotch git it right".
