"ROMANS!"

Kacia and Tara whipped there heads to the side to see a waving Jake coming towards her car. Tara giggled while Kacia rolled her eyes getting out of her car. On queue, Jezabelle pulled up beside her and took her helmet off. Kacia held out her hand while still watching Jake. Feeling the helmet in her hand she easily placed it in the back seat of her car. 

Jake walked up to Tara who grinned while wrapping her arms around his waist. He couldn't help but chuckle at her. She is adorable. Tara feels his hands encircle her waist before she is abruptly yanked away and under the safety of her sister's arm. Kacia gives Jake a forced smile while holding Tara. Jake smirks and pats her head cooing at the protective sister. Kacia instantly swats his hand away. 

Belle giggles at the interaction until she feels the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. Her body reacting to the presence behind her. Her giggles evaporate as the warmth begins to lean down towards her. She holds her breath while he sniffs her neck and growls lowly. She turns slightly meeting a pair of emerald eyes with golden hues. Being brave she tilts her chin upward getting her lips within a breath of his. He hums appreciatively before brushing his lips across her. Her whimper makes him smirk before he grips her neck and connects their lips with need. 

"Come on Tate, your going to make me throw up!"

Colton growls as Belle pulls back blushing from Jake's comment. His eyes now fully yellow as he turns his body towards his friend. Belle is quick to stand up cupping his face making him focus on her. He stops in his tracks as his wolf continues to be entranced by her. She pulls his face down to her pecking his lips as his hands grip her waist firmly. 

"Calm down mio amore"

At this Belle freezes not meaning to say that. Colton relaxes against her hands that still hold his face as his wolf retreats giving back Colton full control. He opens his eyes allowing his stunning green eyes gaze lovingly at Belle. 

"Adoro quando parli italiano ... mio amore" (I love when you speak Italian... my love)

Belle feels the heat rise to her cheeks. As he chuckles, he pulls her into a hug and turns back to his friend who is standing near watching them with a Cheshire grin. Tara and Kacia are also smiling but turn and begin walking away. Jake looks to Kacia's butt and turns back long enough to wiggle his eyebrows at Colton before taking off after them. 

Belle saw the action and can feel her blood boil. She whips her hand to the side and instantly Jake falls. Colton couldn't help but laugh at his best friend who looks down trying to figure out what happened before getting up still confused. Turning back he sees his best friend laughing as Belle smirks in his arms. 

"YOU!" Pointing his finger accusingly at Belle. She wiggles her eye brows at him making Colton double over in laughter releasing her while Jake stomps to her. She crosses her arms as he gets to her. He huffs before full on pouting. "That's not fair, no using your power on us mere werewolves."

"Don't try going after my sisters and I won't have to.."

Jake is about to continue but a new voice interrupts his retort. 

"Jezabelle"

Colton sobers up hearing that voice as his wolf stiffens. He instantly comes closer to Belle, his eyes narrowing on the intruder. Belle and Jake look to the new comer. 

"Davion" 

"Hey, I was wondering if I could walk you to class?" 

He ask complete ignoring the two werewolves standing there. Belle can feel Colton's tense form. Her arm goes behind him before wrapping around his waist. His arm going around shoulders hugging her form to his side. His smug smile makes Belle giggle lowly and lean against his shoulder. Turning back to a gaping Davion she answers him. 

"Actually my mate is planning on walking me to class, isn't that right Colton?"

Her voice sounding sweet and Colton could feel his pride for her wash over him. The man who clearly was trying to disrespect him and hit on his woman didn't get far. Belle was making it clear that she was taken and he never felt so fucking happy before. 

"MATE?!?"

Davion could feel his rage building. He clenched his fist while Colton leaned over kissing the witch's forehead. He watched as she closed her eyes and smiled from his touch. Colton then smirked at him before walking past him without another word. The beta, Jake, chuckling following behind them. He felt his rage hit the surface and closed his eyes before raising his hand ready to make motion with his hands. Fire begins dancing on his finger tips and he curls them before tossing them like a ball. 

Belle sensed the magic and turned quickly lifting her hands making the concrete ground behind Jake rise creating a barrier wall. Both Colton and Jake turning abruptly to see the flames splatter the wall of dirt and concrete. Belle lowers her hands moving the ground back narrowing her eyes on the heated warlock. 

He goes to do it again but this time Belle has had enough. She raises her hands again but this time, it is the ground below Davion. His eyes go wide as he quickly is jolted in the air before she brings back down her hands making him fall hard on the concrete. She strides quickly back to him with Colton and a wide eyed Jake on her heals. He is gripping his ankle when she finally stops where he lays. 

"The next time you attempt to harm my mate will be the last day you are alive. Do. you.understand?"

Her voice dropping threateningly making Colton's wolf growl with lust. She is willing to protect him over her own kind. It was fucking hot. He instantly coiled his arms around his mate allowing her rage to simmer from his comforting touch. Jake felt his own pride for his future alpha female. 

Belle took deep breathes feeling her own fire building. The only thing keeping her from igniting her own flames was Colton's firm grip on her. She closed her eyes leaning back against him momentarily forgetting everything else. 

"They will never allow this." 

Davion grits out still attempting to stand and falling over. Colton releases Belle and steps to him yanking the warlock up by the collar. His eyes bright yellow snarling down at him. 

"No one on this fucking earth can keep me from her" 

"Same"

Colton smirks hearing her agree instantly with him. He punches Davion sending him flying again. This time going unconscious. All three turn back around walking away brushing off the non existent dirt. 

"Damn that was hot!"

Colton groans while Belle giggles at Jake. She shoves him playfully while wrapping her arm around Colton's waist. They walk towards the school as the bell rings. Not a soul in sight. Not even a teacher notices that Davion is still unconscious in the school parking lot. 

True to his word, Colton went to his first class with an arm around Belle's shoulder. Many whispers began and continue throughout the lesson. Neither one of them caring by all the rumors that began. As they walked out, Colton kissed her cheek making her blush before winking and walking off. 

Belle lost in her own thoughts didn't realize her sisters were rushing to her until Tara's body collided with hers. She giggled hugging her back as Kacia walked over to kiss her sister's cheek. 

"Well the good news is that we-" Kacia points towards herself and Tara "are no longer the talk of the school." 

Bell rolls her eyes clearly understanding what now is the 'hot' topic of conversation. Kacia winks before heading off to her werewolf lesson while Belle and Tara head off to their own class. Kacia changes and makes her way to the field to find a pair of arms attempt to hug her. She twist the arm making Jake yelp in pain. 

"What is wrong with you?!?"

Jake whines while rubbing his shoulder. Colton rolls his eyes while continuing to the field. He walks along side Kacia making the entire class look to them. Kacia stops looking around and groans seeing all of them. Colton nudges her shoulder making her turn to him. 

"Let em look... It doesn't matter"

"Geez guys, have we never seen a new wolf before?!?"

Kacia chuckles at Jake's loud statement. He then comes over throwing his arm over her shoulder. She looks to Colton with pleading eyes and he just lifts his hands in a surrender form leaving Kacia to fend for herself. Jake chuckles and pulls her stiff form closer to him. She huffs and allows him to hold her. 

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" 

Everyone whips to find a fuming Davion stomping onto the field. Kacia and Jake instantly get closer to Colton as Davion steps to him. Colton feels the disrespect making his wolf come forward. Davion shoves him making how growl loudly but a rush of brown hair comes in front of him making his eyes snap downward to see the back of Kacia's head. 

"Leave.. now" 

Kacia doesn't know who this man is. But she knows he is threatening her sister's mate. That is enough of a reason to intervene. The warlock's eyes snap to her and she can see the craze look in his eyes. 

"I said... Leave" 

Her voice holding a warning as it lowers a few octaves. He looks at her before looking back to Colton who is ready to charge with Jake holding his shoulder. He turns his eyes back down to the she wolf. He places his hands on her shoulders ready to move her aside. 

His hands freeze on her as she instantly transitions to a wolf standing tall in front of him. Her large form slightly taller than him. Her eyes glowing as she bares her teeth snarling lowly. He takes a step back as the wolves on the field go wide eyed. She lowers her body growling as she stands protectively in front of Colton and Jake. Davion finally realizes his actions and huffs before turning and walking away knowing he couldn't win. 

Kacia closes her eyes and turns back almost instantly making the wolves gasp yet again. Jake walks forward and hugs her surprising Kacia. She stands frozen for a second while others walk closer to her and begin clapping. She looks around confused until Jake explains. 

"You protected their alpha"

She looks to Colton who stands with his arms crossed and a smirk on his lips. She sighs relaxing against Jake for the first time making him chuckle and rub her back before pulling back. They both turn to Colton making everyone turn to their alpha. 

"Let's run pack"
