KARA

"Oh, Wolverine, I was so worried."

I let out a soft laugh as I turned around and faced him. His dark brown hair as messy as Edward's from stressing too much.

"It's alright, Connor. Are the civilians and others okay? Everyone escaped, right?"

"Can you stop worrying about other people and focus on yourself for once?" He snapped and I widened my eyes a little bit. He sighed and placed a hand on my cheek, "I'm sorry, it's just...you didn't come out with the others and I got scared. Look at you, your hair's a mess and your emotions are unusually calm."

"My hair? You should see your hair," I kissed his cheek, "But I came out later because I had to deal with rogues. It's fine."

Anger flashed through his eyes as he clenched his jaw. I placed my hand on his chest, "It's okay, Connor. It's alright."

"Where are they?" he asked through gritted teeth.

"Unconscious-"

I haven't even finished my sentence and he was already walking towards where I came. I tugged on his hand, "Connor, don't."

"I have to kill them for laying a finger on you."

"I dealt with them fine. Darling, calm down."

He yanked his hand out of my grip away and continued walking. I stood still, "Connor," I said in a warning tone. He didn't care.

Fine. He asked for it.

"Stop it, Connor."

He immediately stopped dead in his tracks. I wanted to go back. I didn't want to do it. I never wanted to use that voice. It makes me feel like I'm abusing the power being the Alpha of the Werewolves comes with. But, if he's going to act like a kid, then so be it.

"Come back, darling."

He hesitated for a bit before turning around, suddenly very interested in the ground. He walked to me and knelt, "Alpha."

I ran my fingers through his hair, "Stand."

He stood on my order and met my gaze. I broke the Alpha command and the fog in his eyes cleared, signifying that he's no longer under my control. He shook his head lightly, "I didn't know being the Alpha comes with the power to control other Alphas."

"Well, I certainly don't want to use it ever again. Now, let's get going. They must be waiting," I swiftly pecked his lips and held his hand. He led me to the others who were waiting patiently by the school gates.

"The innocents got out safely though, right?" I asked again. He nodded, "Everyone managed to escape in time. Ray and Jere double checked with the warriors."

I sighed in relief. Students were crying over the fact that this is 'the worst graduation ever'. I mean like, come on. At the very least be grateful you're alive and not crushed under a building.

We gathered with the others and when Edward and Jake saw me, they ran to me and enveloped me in a hug.

"Oh, my Wolverine, where the fuck were you?" Jake huffed.

"I'm okay, no need to be worried."

They let go and started checking for injuries. I laughed and pushed them away, "I'm alright. No injuries."

"You better not have injuries, or we'll have to kill someone," Edward said, patting my head. I smiled and looked to see the others staring at me with worry in their eyes. Before I could reassure them, my phone rang. I took it out and looked at the contact ID.

Uncle Charles

Oh, crap.

He's gonna lecture my ear off. 

***

He's still talking.

It's been over an hour of working and listening to my uncle on loud speaker nag about me not being careful with the rogues.

"How could you not smell them right away? Being the Alpha has heightened every aspect of your senses," said Uncle Charles from the phone in a somewhat angry tone.

"They masked it well, Uncle C. I seriously couldn't smell them."

"Rogues have one of the most awful smell, it's dishonoring the gods above."

"And goddesses," I added.

"That too."

I sighed, "At least I caught the scent before they could do some serious shi-"

"Language!" he warned.

"...shindigs."

He chuckled, "That's better."

I took a sip of my honey lemon tea, "You've been watching Marvel, Uncle C?"

"How'd you know?" he said, sounding surprised.

"Cap says 'language' in Age of Ultron. It's an iconic moment."

"Yes, that moment is funny," he laughed. I laughed with him. I heard him sigh and questioned, "What's wrong?"

"Your school's basically trashed. It may as well mean your year isn't getting prom."

"It's alright. I'm pretty sure I'll live without prom."

He sighed again, "But I want to see you getting prettied up. I'm basically your father."

"If you can wait, marriage is a few years away," I joked.

"You're not getting married that early. You still have to choose one mate."

"I'm pretty sure I'll have my choice soon."

He let out a laugh, "You better. I don't want a girl sporting three husbands."

I giggled. My door opened and Connor strolled in. He sat in front of me and cupped his face. I tilted my head, "Aren't you supposed to be working?"

"I'm taking a break and wanted to come see you."

Uncle Charles must've heard the door opening, because he kept quiet. I smiled at my mate, "Well, I'm going through some work piles so if you would-"

He looked at my phone beside me and noticed the contact, "Hey, Alpha Hunter."

"Afternoon, Alpha Anderson."

I raised a questioning eyebrow at him and he just shrugged.

"Alpha Hunter was just nagging me about rogues the past hour," I explained as I sighed exhaustedly. His eyes went from playful to concern real quick, "You should take a rest. It's not good for you to keep working."

I glanced at him, at my phone, and back at him. I slowly nodded, "I'm gonna go take a fifteen minute nap. Call soon, Alpha."

"Alright."

I hung up the call and slipped the phone in my pocket. I cleaned up the table a little before standing up. Connor stood too and stretched his hand out.

"Mind if I join?"

I looked at his face wearing a smirk and took his hand, "Only fifteen minutes. I'm not done with work."

He groaned, "Enough about work. Let's use these fifteen minutes wisely, love."

With that, he pulled me out of the office and into our room.
