She left the house in wolf form at 2000. Making sure to be well gone, before the goddess started playing match maker with the wolves. She could already hear the music being played as the mating ball was now underway, up in the ballroom on the eastern side of the pack-house. Any un-mated wolves from her pack were allowed to attend, all border patrols would be mated wolves with the exception of her.
She would not be attending the ball, never did and Luna Lindy held one every 3 months here. For the last 8 years so far so good, the goddess had seen fit to leave her alone.
Her mating to Matthew on her 18th birthday was because her birthday had fallen on the full moon itself. It had been one of those rare days where you could see the moon in the afternoon sky already. Cheeky goddess she was, always managed to sneak in a few ways to mate off her wolves.
Though wolves found their mates only on full moon nights, hence mating balls under the full moon. There were a few lucky ones that connected outside of full moons, though Ella figured their beasts must be pretty special to do that.
Alpha Corey mind-link her just after she started patrolling ‘Ella you don’t happen to know anything about a visiting alpha’s car being damaged do you?’
‘I know nothing.’ she replied a smile in her voice unable to hide it. She was nearly laughing and desperately trying not to. And technically it wasn’t her.
‘Ky’ra wouldn’t happen to know would she?” he was not stupid. And her amusement would be heard down the link.
‘Ky’ra does as she pleases Alpha, I can’t control her sometimes.’ she was laughing now couldn’t help it even Ky’ra was fully amused.
‘For the love of the goddess Ella…get to my office now.’
‘On patrol Alpha. Extra rogues will be coming in. Can it wait? Not like he’s going anywhere right this minute now is it!” she was still laughing couldn’t help it, she knew Ky’ra had stuffed up the door handle, and he wasn’t going to be able to get the door open any time soon.
‘ Fine…but you and Ky’ra get your butts in my office directly after patrol. DO I make myself clear.’
‘Yes Alpha, perfectly clear.’ she laughed oh they were in so much trouble.
‘I mean it.’ he snapped at her angrily, at all her amusement and severed the link.
‘Ah Ky’ra, look you got us into trouble again.’
‘Worth it.’ she snorted and the pair of them giggled
‘Shame we didn’t get to watch his reaction I bet it was priceless.’
‘We got a tail it seems.’ all fun gone now.
‘What?’ Ella frowned, Ky’ra was in full control being that they were in wolf form.
‘Beta blood…that big bastards Beta.’
‘Do you think they know it was us? If he want’s a fight I will leave it up to you.’
There were many rogues to deal with that night and to her surprise and Ky’ra’s, that big bastards Beta stepped in and fought along side Ky’ra. He was a good fighter too, though seemed a little to in your face, always trying to get between her and the rogues when he wasn’t fighting one himself.
Ky’ra had growled at him on more than one occasion to warn him to back off. Being a Beta he’d ignored her until she’d gotten so pissed off she’d actually bitten him, sank her teeth right into his rib cage.
His wolf had snarled at hers, they couldn’t communicate due to not being from the same pack. But he seemed to get the message or appeared to and backed off somewhat, giving her room to do her job for the rest of the shift thank the goddess.
He’d not trailed her home thankfully, Ky’ra was more than pissed off with his constant company. She had not been informed by her Alpha of his being their to assist her and she did not need it, as far as she was concerned.
Holden POV
He’d been out stretching his legs with his Beta when they’d walked around the corner of the pack-house, Rip had pushed his way to the surface. Turned his whole body and attention to the packs training grounds, there she was all kitted out again, still couldn’t see what she looked like. To his surprise had two small proteges with her ‘ah that is why they are so close to her.’ he thought to himself, she’s their trainer.
Jeremy leaned on the wall next to him “is it just me or are all the she-wolves around here, super tiny and freaking cute.”
“It’s just your raging hormones.” Holden shot back, but when he thought about it the Luna was tiny. As was the Gamma’s mate. He knew the “mutt” was tiny and this morning even Ky’ra’s human counterpart had been tiny as well. Maybe his Beta was right.
‘you should probably stop calling her that.’ Jeremy said through the link, as they watched the girl turn and aim an arrow right at him then dared him to call her a mutt again.
Holden hadn’t realised he’d actually said it out loud, but clearly he had. He watched as both her charges followed as she did. Very well trained, he doubted they had the power to hit him from here. But he knew she did and he’d seen her pull that arrow back to the full power of her compound bow, it would make it. No doubt about it and she knew it to.
Jeremy had halted his natural instinct, to accept the challenge. He watched as she turned her bow and aimed down the training ground at the target, never took her eyes off of him and let her arrow fly. It hit the target at the other end, damned near dead centre too, she was showing him just how well trained she was.
‘Don’t think you want to mess with this one boss.’ Jeremy said through the link, he watched her for another minute then walked away. He’d already scared the twins once he didn’t think he’d be able to get away with it a second time, and the she-wolf would likely turn on him, she didn’t seem to care that he was an Alpha.
He was going to have to get that girl alone before he left, but she seemed only to appear with the two children. So it probably wasn’t going to be easy. Would likely have to actually request an audience with Alpha Corey, before he left tomorrow morning. He could just bet the whole alpha unit would be there, considering they got bets on her trying to take a piece of him.
It appeared that they might just be right, she had no fear of him from what he could see. But with that weapon in her hand and covered in knives he wasn’t surprised at all. She probably also knew that she was safe with the girls around her. She could wait for now.
Holden was not looking forward to tonight and the Goddess better not have plans for him, he had a bigger fish to fry and didn’t need the distraction of finding a mate in the middle of it.
But Rip had been acting weird all day.
Eyed off that Ky’ra wolf and her human, growled at his Beta at the comments about her body. Then he’d surged forward and stared a that Ella she-wolf as well. Both times with both women his ears had been up and he’d tried to smell them. Ella had never been close enough, for them to catch her scent. Holden had no idea what was up with Rip. But he was prowling around inside Holdens mind, his tail flicking back and forth, he was agitated that much was certain.
‘Rip, what is it?’ he asked for the umpteenth time today.
‘nothing.’ he’d snarled back this time.
‘Cranky today I see.’
‘to many she-wolves.’ was all he said.
What, ever he was trying to smell was obviously being blocked by all the un-mated she-wolves, and their scent of their arousal around him.
