"All set!" Jenny exclaimed and linked her arms with the overly conscious Ella. The latter gave a little squeal before she relaxed, but not completely. She fidgeted as she tried to cover her exposed torso with her skinny arms.

"What's wrong Ellie?" Jenny asked as she closed the door behind her.

"Thi-This shirt.. Ca-Can't I just let it down? Yo-You even tied my hair up." Ella stuttered.

"What do you mean? Of course I have to tie it up since it might get in the way if I just let it loose, you know? And don't worry about that shirt. It's more fun that way." Jenny said and led Ella outside.

Once the ladies opened the door, all heads snapped towards their way and adored them. Jenny was, most probably, used with it, given that she was an Alpha's daughter and she was bound to be known across her pack.

On the other hand, Ella was not the least bit happy nor used with it. She did not want to attract too much attention and most certainly she did not need it that time.

On instinct, she hid behind Jenny while the latter just giggled at her.

"Come on Ellie! It's time to kick butts!" Jenny exclaimed and pulled Ella along. The lady could not resist even if she wanted to. She did agree to join, without even knowing what kind of game they were gonna do.

All eyes were on them as they passed through the throng of male wolves clearly checking them out.

*Avert your eyes mangy beasts!* They heard their Alpha's voice that suggested he was not the least bit happy about others seeing Ella that way.

"He-He's not happy at all." Ella wailed softly as she clung tightly on Jenny's arm. Jenny only laughed as she brushed it off like it was normal.

"Don't worry. He's happy. He just has other issues." Jenny comforted her and continued walking towards the large space behind the crowd. "Hey brother!"

"What do you think you're doing?" Jem immediately hissed. Jenny only averted her eyes with a nervous and unsure laugh before she left Ella with Jem.

"I-I guess you do-don't like it?" Ella fidgted and played with her fingers, showing how uncomfortable she was with the gazes that was boring holes through her.

Jem could only sigh and petted her head, one he noticed always manages to calm her down.

"It-It's not bad but.." he trailed off as he looked around the bowed heads of his pack.

This isn't looking too good. Was it a wrong move to agree to this game then?

He thought as he couldn't ignore how the unmated male population of his pack was watching his mate intensely.

"Let's just get this started to end this in one game." He said before he turned around to the players currently on the field. "One game."

"Ehh? Why?" Jenny complained and pouted. Of course she'd be the first one to debate against it, after all, she did hold a grudge against Jem for always kicking her butt on every game. Now that Ella is around, she can have Jem taste total defeat.

Jem eyed her and the look on his face was saying what he said didn't have a room for argument. His word was absolute.

".. is what I'd like to say but yeah, one game is enough." Jenny immediately followed up as she gulped down the shivers she got with her brother's stare.

"Well then, let's get started." Jem announced and was about to leave Ella when she quickly snatched his hand.

"Do-Don't leave me." she whimpered and looked up to Jem like a little puppy asking its owner for food.

Jem swore he'd rather forfeit the match and take Ella upstairs and claim her right then but reigned in his berserking desire for her. They'll have time for that later. Right now was the opportunity to show her why he was nicknamed as the [self-proclaimed] 'grandmaster' and a good chance for her to mingle with her pack.

"It'll be fine sweetie. Just watch me beat your cute little ass." He breathed out sexily before he leaned away from his tomato-red mate.

She's too cute. Dammit!

He thought and walked away before he'll freeze and not continue the game. It'll be beneficial for Ella too though. She'll have the chance to bond with her pack for the first time and have fun.

The players positioned at the center of the field and prepared theirselves while marking someone as their target and waited for the whistle. Naturally, Ella was told to guard Jem while he was very much pleased with it.

The whistle was blown and the ball was passed onto Jenny being their captain, since Ella was too new to the game and she wouldn't know what to do, and everyone broke out into a sprint.

Jem was running towards Jenny, his eyes kept on the ball, and didn't notice his own mate did not chase for him while the others had already guarded their targets. Jenny had a proud smirk on her face as she pulled her arms back and threw the ball high into the air.

Jem halted and watched it lapse through him before he started to run back to the opposite direction. As he shifted his gaze in front of him, he saw Ella jump high up and raised her arms in an attempt to catch the ball. Oddly and amazingly enough, she did catch the ball and raced towards the goal.

It was such an amazing feat Jem can't help but admire her more. She had always been captivating ever since he met her in that blistering cold, but when he actually got to know her even more and spent time with her, she was definitely one jaw-dropping lady.

But I guess she'll never lose that clumsy side of her huh? Still, I love that side of her too.

Jem thought with a slight chuckle before he dashed, not for the goal, but for his mate, who so accidentally bumped against Mark, the pack's third enforcer.

*Move away from her right now.*

Jem commanded specifically to Mark which startled the poor mesmerized boy and immediately bent his head low taking a couple of steps back upon hearing his Alpha's voice, not daring to extend a helping hand to his Luna that fell to the ground or else he's sure to lose a hand or worst his head. Depends on his Alpha's mood or his Luna's control over his Alpha.

Jem was halfway towards Ella when she stood up all on her own and gestured him an Okay sign accompanied with a very happy and wide smile. He could only sigh again and decided to take the game seriously already. He whistled sharply that snatched Mark's attention and gestured for him to pass the ball.

*Give me the ball so we can end this sham.*

He told him thru their team's private link and wore a very smug and proud smirk. Mark pitched the ball as hard as he can and Jem caught it easily and effortlessly.

He raced towards the goal only to be hindered by Jenny, her proud and confident smirk still there.

"You're not getting past me Jem! Because tonight, you shall taste defeat!" she exclaimed.

Jem made a swift dodge to Jenny's side, one that always proved to help him once she's targeting him. He knew Jenny was weak on her flanks.

He looked up to Jenny and maybe tease her quite a bit when he saw that her gaze was not on him and she wasn't really aiming for him but for someone who was behind him as she wore a smile that told him she was certain she'll win.

He tried to look behind him and was just in time to see Jenny reach out for Ella's outstretched hand and spun her to give her a boost.

There was one thing Jenny was good at and that was her incredible strength that he'd dare say is on par with Levi's. She was an Alpha's daughter after all.

Ella tackled him and snatched the ball before she threw it towards Jenny while she pinned her mate down. As Jenny told her, once Jem was rendered unable to move then it's their win.

Jenny was swifter than any wolves of their generation. She was only second to Jem though, given she had the advantage of her lighter weight against the men in their pack.

While Jem, who was currently straddled by Ella, certainly could not move. Why? Well one simple reason really. He loved the view he was getting from his spot actually.

Thanks to Ella sweating from running back and forth across the field, Jem's loose shirt became see-through and Jem could see her bra. He also found her panting very sexy and alluring. The way she pinned him down wasn't helping either.

The whistle was blown and Ella started to move away from Jem but paused when he held her arm. She looked down to him with a confused expression and tilted her head.

"Erm.. I'd really appreciate it if you'd not stand for now. That isn't very good for public display actually." He said with a slight tinge of redness on his cheeks.

Ella did as he asked and did not stand but shifted to his side so she did not straddle him anymore. She sat at his side and watched him get up then suddenly pulled his shirt up and slid out of his top.

She averted her gaze with a red face. She was still not used to the wonderful and delicious body of her mate. She did not know how to deal with it yet. As she was feeling embarrassed about seeing her mate half naked, she felt something drape on her head. It was Jem's shirt.

"Wear that. Your shirt is wet and it's become see-through." Jem said and averted his gaze. As much as he wanted to complete the mating process, he still respected Ella enough to wait for her to be ready for that time.

Ella blushed at her mate's thoughtfulness and gave him a peck on his cheeks before she wore his shirt.

"Jem smells nice. Your cloth feels warm too." Ella murmured with a giggle upon seeing Jem's shocked face. He immediately looked away with a bright red face. He was just too happy to be seeing his mate finally accepting him that he's afraid he was becoming too soft and acting like a teenage girl and that was definitely NOT COOL.

"Ooh~? What's this? Is the great 'cold' alpha blushing?" Jenny teased with a sly grin.

Now that did it. Jem got up in a flash second and ran at full speed towards Jenny completely catching her off guard and attacked her sides. Jenny rolled around bursting into a loud guffaw as she desperately pled for her brother to stop tickling her.

"You asked for this little lady!" He exclaims as he continued his relentless attack.

"E-Ellie~~!!!" Jenny cried for his mate's name asking for help.

"Aww~ Lemme join too!" Ella exclaimed and clung onto Jem's back, trying to tickle him too.

"Okay, you brats, knock it off now." Levi came to break them up and they obeyed. "Seriously Jem, you're an Alpha and you're in front of your pack." he reprimanded and that's when the three of them froze and watched the amused and happy faces of the crowd.

"I didn't know the Alpha had this side too. Somehow, it's kinda cute." A girl, at her teenage years perhaps, said with a giggle.

"I know, right? I'm sure the Luna is behind this sudden change in him." Her friend chimed in and was followed with a series of nods and answers of agreement as they laughed altogether.

"My, It looks like Ella's influence on this pack is so great. I'd like to thank you for bringing joy unto this pack." Aunt Emi said and everyone followed suit in thanking her.

"I-It's nothing like that! I did no such thing. It's just a coincidence, I bet." She said with a bright red face as she waved her hands in front of her face, trying to hide the overwhelming happiness and embarrassment she was feeling.

She felt an arm drape on her shoulder and she looked up to the proud face of the man that easily caught her attention and captured her heart.

"Right? I can say proudly I am really lucky to have found Ella. No. I am lucky SHE found ME." he said with a sweet smile that she couldn't help but give him a sweet kiss too.

"I am too." she answered back when they pulled away after a few seconds.

"So why don't we continue with the celebration before you two disgust us with your cheesy sweetness?" Levi joked and Ella just stuck her tongue at him.

The rest of that evening was spent entirely doing different games, telling stories, dancing, singing and lots more. Ella couldn't believe she was enjoying it so much, without the knowledge of the foreboding danger threatening to come their way.
