CHAPTER XII: Don't you dare

------------------------------------------------

A cold liquid woke me up. Running through the back of my neck until my panties, shivering in the process at the contact. It was water. I only knew a person who had the guts to wake me up like that.

"Taisia! You fucker!"

I stood in front of the smirking girl along with my other close friend Agathe. Laughing at my shaking body she throw me a towel.

"Look at you! With the best hangover I could have asked for you, to welcome us! And damn girl how wet you are..."

"Ha ha. I really like your filthy jokes at first hour in the morning."

"Filthy? Really? Where is my Andrea? Give me her back!"

Agathe laughed at our immature friend and frowned when her eyes met my face.

"Wow, Victor beat you hard this time."

"Ah this. The cheekbone is his, the other on my cheek was some stupid motherfucker. Yesterday in Extasy club."

She touched it and I hissed a bit in pain.

"Sorry..."

"Nah forget it. Nevermind, is it too much visible?"

She frowned for a second and then I saw Taisia reaching for her sunglasses and pulled them down, looking at my sore face with raised eyebrows.

"It's a bit red with a beautiful violet starting to come out."

I sighed in frustration thinking about Victor.

"It's better if you go upstairs, take a shower and put a bit of make up above. It'll show your gorgeous face to the hot five guys who will arrive soon."

Winking at me I frowned, massaged my head for the hangover and looked at the innocent Agathe who was giggling.

"You will be their personal harlot. Won't you?"

"Positive."

Letting a breath of exasperation, I shook my head while trying to calm my aching back and bum for yesterday's fall. My face was a bit sore but not as much as the rest of my body.

"I'm done here. See you later."

I left them immediately and rushed upstairs to my room, starting to feel a bit anxious for five unknown men arriving after lunch.

We made few stops along the way to Rising Hell clan's house, the last one was only to take something to eat. I was in my car along with Kyan, my Beta, while my Gamma Benjamin with two of the most powerful pack warriors, Mason and Oliver were in the car behind us.

"You already told Victor at what hour we're arriving?"

"Yeah, he said that there's no problem with that."

I heard my Beta humming in understanding, but something was bothering him.

"What's wrong dude?"

"Nah, nothing important."

"C'mon Kyan, I know something's not okay."

"I don't know. It's just-This will help us? I mean they are one of the top three strongest pack in the country followed by us in the forth place. But c'mon we have a good problem if we have to ask help at the elite."

I sighed thinking about a possible answer. He was right.

"I only hope this will help us for good."

We chatted until we reached their house. The views were amazing. Victor sure knew how to live like a king, just wow. The village was up in a hill, with a direct connection to the mountain so they had all the plenty control of the Mt. Mansfield. We drove to the principal street that pass through the principal city square and parked to one side of the house. Opening the car door I saw the others getting out as well.

"Let the baggage inside. We will take them after we greet all of house members."

They all nodded and followed me to the classical reddish mahogany front doors. What caught my eye was the wood arc carved on the rectangular entrance, I think they were different episodes of the 'supernatural' history. Humans becoming wolves, wars, angels turning into demons... It was just, awesome, a masterpiece. My focus faded away when I heard the door cracked open revealing a little girl, probably she was seven or eight, her blonde hair reaching the middle of her little back and a piercing blue eyes. Obviously she was Gen and Vic's daughter.

"Are you Alpha Logan?"

I smelted with her tiny and shy voice. I bent down to meet her petite figure face to face.

"Yes, I am. Are your parents at home?"

She nodded with her fragile head.

"I was in the sofa so I came here the first."

Bit by bit her face reddened and now was playing with the end of her T-shirt. I smiled at her shyness.

"Well then, shall a beautiful princess like you escort us inside?"

Facing me with a bright smile she nodded energetically, taking my hand with hers she let us go inside. We were welcomed by a bunch of six, seven dogs? What the hell? Why they had so many? While she presented all her 'friends', I didn't remember a single name, only that they had Disney names. I took her with an arm around her waist, she was like a piece of paper. Almost being inside of the house we were greeted by a rushed Victor, who smiled at us with an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry for my delay Logan! I'm being extra busy these days."

My eyes locked with his appearance, a man in his first forties, black hair with a touch of white in some parts, grey eyes with a light touch of blue and a face that showed a past full of stress, pain and suffering caused by the war. Then my sight shifted to the hand that he was extending, without thinking twice I shook it while his hand rested on my left shoulder.

"It's not a problem. We will try to help as much as possible."

"Thank you, really. But I think my Luna won't like our guests working for us."

Chuckling at his answer I saw him grinning like, a proud grin?

"I'll have to convince her then."

"Oh! Try it. I really would like to see it."

"A difficult woman?"

This time was he who laugh.

"Believe me when I say she's an angel, compared to the monster I have as a Beta. She's not only sassy, impertinent, overbold or even difficult... she's just impossible to handle. My grandfather always told me that women are like cats: beautiful, inquisitive, friendly, playful, active, loving and independent but at least they warned you when they arched their back, raised their fur and hiss at you. The problem I have with Andrea is as if she's like a panther or a tiger, they are gorgeous but you cannot get close because you know that at any moment she would jump to the jugular!"

He hummed while breathing again, then realization hit him like a rock.

"Damn! How inappropriate for me! I'm really sorry I only greeted Logan and started talking about my girls."

He offered his hand to Kyan who was grinning like an idiot for the amused scene. Then he offered his hand to the others and presented themselves.

"Well, we men like to talk about women."

When he finished turned around and smirked.

"No, no. Not my women."

Stopping for a few seconds he furrowed his eyebrows and pointed at us with his chin.

"Your baggages boys?"

"We have left them in the car. We wanted to show our respects first."

"Oh Kyan you're too educated. Oh! And thanks to help with the assemble and Andy. I'll tell her to thank you about that. If she won't bite me first, of course..."

He laughed and continued his speech, while Kyan grinned like an idiot. Idiot.

"When we are done I'll open the garage and give to you one copy of all the doors of the house."

Before he gestured us to follow, we nodded, thanking him. Through one of the later aisle of the inner courtyard we made our way inside the house. In front of us there was the hallway. At our right, as Victor showed us, there were two medical rooms: one for the operations and the other to recover. Just the essential for a pack house. In front, two restrooms and at the end there was a balcony. At our left was the entry to the open Italian kitchen followed by a large black metal table with a thick layer of cream marble, along with black leather chairs. The entire right side of the room had large windows divided by columns that formed arcs on the top of the wall, so there was an increase of the natural lighting. In the middle was a door that communicated with the back porch and the stairs that lead to the garden. At the end of the room were the sofas in front the TV and Victor's office.

"Good man, can you please drop me on the floor please?"

I looked at my armpit where I still had the little girl, she was pouting with a light shade of pink on her cheeks. I heard her father laughing, then he motioned me to give her to him, which I did.

"Charlotte, there's no need to say one than more please in every sentence. You're not begging anyone you're just being educated. And love, it's can you please leave me on the floor not drop me. If someone drops you on the floor you will get bad injured, and we don't want that for the princess of the house. Do we?"

She shook her head giggling. Once she peeked him on one cheek he let her on the floor, turning around he patted lightly her bum and we saw her running towards two guys and a girl. She was small compared to us, like 5'5''(1,65m), light chocolate skin, with brown eyes and black curly hair. Something told me she wasn't a werewolf, I think she was a vampire. I could smell it. The same for the guy with glasses who had now Charlotte between his arms, muscular and tall, I think around 6'1''(1,86m), light brown hair and dark green eyes. The only werewolf of the three of them was the man who had an arm wrapped around the girl's waist, sure as hell her mate. I would do the same to mark my territory, plus his face sent a clear message, 'Come near her and you will regret it'. He was a slightly shorter than the four eyes, maybe 5'11'' (1,81m) with black hair and dark eyes, a bit more built than the other guy.

"Logan and guys, these are Violet, Emmett's mate, who is my second in command, and Charlie, who has my daughter in his arms, is my third."

Now he was pointing to us while speaking to them.

"Guys I expect you to behave."

"Tell Andrea..."

We heard him scoffing, which amused us.

"Charlie!"

"Sorry."

We were astonished, he didn't seem an Alpha but a father.

"Anyway, these are Alpha Logan, his Beta Kyan, and his third in command is Benjamin. Then we have his strong warriors Oliver and Mason."

"What's up guys."

We all greeted each other, but something was wrong. This is why I decided to ask Victor.

"Did you not say in the assembly that Andrea was your Beta? Before your said Emmett was your second in command."

"Oh and you'll wish that he would be, because Andrea man, she's something else."

"Thank you Charlie... and yeah listen to him Logan, you'll wish. But hey, she's the most powerful here, even more than me, so I'm okay with that."

"Yeah, but that doesn't answer my question."

"What question?"

Our sights changed direction, to meet two of the hottest girls I have ever met. I studied them, fair colored skin, with green hair cut by her shoulder and blue eyes, being a girl she was tall, likely 5'8''(1,74m) and had a good body. At this thought my wolf howled inside, she smirked at us like as if she heard him. The other was giving us a shy smile, I bet she was the shameful and the other the naughty one. She was way shorter, possibly 5'3'' (1,63m), brown curly hair and piercing lightly gray eyes and damn man, all the girls in the house had a goddess body!

My fully attention was back when the girl who spoke was in front of me, smirking, while the other followed close behind her.

"I'm Taisia and she's -"pointing at her friend "- Agathe. And you guys are...?"

I focused on her accent, she wasn't from the country. Clearing her throat made me remember about her question.

"Umh - Yeah. I'm Logan, he's my Beta, Kyan, my Gamma Benjamin, and they are my strongest warriors, Mason and Oliver. Ehm - You're not from here, are you?"

She licked her lips, contemplating my body before our eyes met.

"Yeah I'm from Russia, and Agathe was born in Brazil."

I looked at the shy girl a bit shocked.

"Brazil? Really? I'm also from there."

"Ah-Uhm - Yeah but my father was from Spain so, Spanish blood runs through my veins."

She gave us a tender smile, which I replied with a grin making her blush.

"Okay kids, enough of that. I'm sorry Logan and guys but Gen, the Luna, is having a bad time with the baby so she's resting."

"Don't worry Victor, we understand."

Then our sight move to the young boy who stepped inside the house through the back porch. He approached Victor and gave him a nervous smile.

"Sorry dad, I'm late."

"Don't worry son, we were at the introducing part ."

He turned to us and extended his hand to shake, what a polite kid.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Jax, the Alpha's first son."

After we talked for a few minutes a question passed through my mind, where was Andrea? As if Victor read my thoughts he asked the same thing.

"Hey Jax. Where the hell is Andrea?"

"Ehm - I think the last time I saw her she was going to check up on mom."

Taisia clicked his tongue, taking our attention.

"That girl is something else, really. Well, as she's not going to show up Agathe and I are going to go. It was a great pleasure to meet you, guys."

She winked seductively and offered her hand not to shake it, to kiss it? She, was something else. A normal girl would have already left without any contact. I accept it and decided to play her little game.

"The pleasure is mine."

I kissed the back of her hand and she bit her lower lip. She then caressed the left arm of Kyan, probably to see how strong he was.

"It was a pleasure, Kyan."

Grabbing her hand, my Beta was going to kiss the back of it until a third hand appeared and firmly grabbed his wrist, making him stop. She held him tightly, I saw it reflected on his face. What the hell? What kind of creature was her? My wolf or even her friends didn't smell her, we looked at her dumbfounded, even Victor.

"Don't you dare."

Her voice sounded like a growl. In a not nice way she let go of his wrist. I think, for the face of her Alpha, that would have even hurt him. She sent us a dead glare, okay got it. She was off limits in all the ways, even to speak with her. Turning around she faced the two girls.

"We are going, now."

"But Andrea-"

"I said now!"

Slamming the door, she stepped out to the porch and went downstairs to the garden. The girls gave us an apologetic look.

"Sorry guys, today she's a bit grumpy. And I'm really sorry Kyan."

"Oh, this is nothing."

When they went out we noticed how the tension left the house, then we heard the chuckle of, Charlie maybe? Well, the four eyes.

"A bit grumpy. Don't make us laugh Taisia... Well guys you have experienced your first meeting with Andrea and you have survived. Congratulations."

"Oh, cut the crap Charles."

"Sorry Vic, but I had to. Yesterday you punched her, a guy in the club hit her on her, already, sore face, plus she has a hangover and fell down the stairs. And you're telling me that she's, only, a bit grumpy?"

Now he was laughing and Victor sighed.

"Kyan do you want the doctor to see that? I know for experience that Andy's holds are not very... enjoyable."

"Oh no, I will survive."

He chuckled, making he and I cross our sights.

"Told you, a panther! You won't want to be near her, I assure you."
