Isabella's P.O.V

My grin stretches from ear to ear as I see the confused looks on our mates' faces. They are in wolf form and cannot talk back to me. I take advantage of that. I say in a fake happy voice,

"Hurry up and shift! You are already late for our meeting and you brought so many hot warriors. If you take too long, maybe we can find someone else to spend time with." All the girls pretend to flirt with the warriors who are not sure how to react. All of the Alphas growl simultaneously at our flirting and the warriors take a step away from us. My pack and I pretend to pout and I repeat,

"Go shift so we can talk!" They do it unwillingly because they are taking orders from a female which they hate. I smile in glee. 

Our mates finally come out from behind the trees in human form and basketball shorts. I do a double take. Damn, these boys are fine. All the other girl have the same reaction and the alphas smirk.  Mind-linking to my pack, I tell them it is time to take off our jackets to reveal our new clothing. We do just that and see how our mates eyes fill with lust at the site of us, there is jealousy too looking at the warriors. Eventually, Carson orders,

"Go wait farther back warriors when we have a talk with our mates." They start to come forward and I warn,

"No, no. You can talk perfectly fine from there." As a test, all of them take another step forward and my pack takes our silver knives out. The Alphas hold up their hands in protest, taking a step back.  Alex, Elina's mate, complains,

"You are coming with us anyways rogues. There is no need to struggle." I smile sweetly at him and Elina answers,

"What makes you think that, mate?" They all look at us shocked until they realize the meaning of her words. Our mates suddenly rush forwards to force us to come for sure. That was an expected reaction. I yell the signal,

"Now!" We bring our silver knives to our throats. The Alphas freeze, again shocked. I proclame,

"Take on more step and we will slit our own throats." A growl erupts from their chests. I continue, "An Alpha cannot survive with their mate. We die, you die. A rejection will kill us both slowly anyway. Now, back up!" No one moves, and I apply more pressure to my throat with the knife, a bead of blood can be seen. Everyone follows my example. The Alphas back up so fast it was funny. I add one more statement at of spite, "We are not rogue Lunas, you know. As our mates, it would be awful for us to be rogues for the Alpha. We are more like renegades, renegade Lunas is a much more fitting term." It felt good to insult these assholes who have ruined our lives. But back to business, I look at them all serious like and say,

"Now, will you listen?" They all nod. "I am the alpha of our small pack here. Elina is my beta. Sam is my third in command, Emma is our omega, her choice. Emilia is our warrior and tracker while Miya is our healer and doctor. We have a proposition to make. You want us and you will never stop looking for us. So we have agreed to come with you on several conditions. One, at first, we will stay in a house on neutral territory while we learn how to be a Luna. Two, you will have to resist marking and mating with us until we want to. One of you makes the wrong move, and the others will die. Three, you will take us on dates and try to make us choose to come with you. We will go with you in a year maximum. Everyone can leave when they want. Fourth, our families are not bargaining chips. We get to meet with them in this house. I will attend all of the dates in the background discreetly to make sure nothing happens. I am the alpha of this pack however small and I will protect them." A dry chuckle escapes Carson's lips and I ask,

"What's funny?" He answers,

"You are possibly the only person in the world to stand in front of us-" gesturing to the Alphas "-demanding things and not dying of fear. Even your pack would be afraid if you were not here." I ignore his statement, looking at the others instead. Their emotions are plain on their face as if the war within themselves is too much to even try to hide. There is fear of losing us, plain old lust, jealousy of others, and anger at being told what to do by a female. At this point, I am not sure what will win, so I add something to sweeten the deal,

"I also know more about these white wolves you want." My pack looks shocked but trusts me. All the alphas look at me again, "If you want information, you have to accept our deal."

Eventually, they look at each other and say the two words I wanted to hear,

"We accept." I smile and answer,

"Good. Now, you cannot touch us or do any funny business until we secure the house and we see our families." They look downcast and sad at the announcement and I have pity on them,

"Fine, one at the time, you can come up to your mate and exchange a few words under my supervision." First up, came up Alex to see Elina. He started the conversation,

"Hey" Elina answered awkwardly,

"Hey." Alex touches her cheek and she backs away from him. That makes Alex mad and his solution to the problem is being agressive, 

" You are mine! Only Mine! I can touch you if I want." He jumps toward Elina. In one move, I am between them and have my silver knife out and was cutting his forearm. He retreats because wounds inflicted with silver are more painful and harder to heal. I yell,

"That is the last time someone breaks the rules! I am serious,  and all contact must be initiated by us, not you." The Alphas looked at me shocked again. It seems to be their perpetual state of being around me and I say as much, "You are always so shocked around me. It's not healthy, sweethearts." They now look mad at being insulted. Opps! One of the alphas mutter,

"I have never been ordered around so much in my entire life than I have in these last few minutes." I have to hold in a laugh at the comment. No wonder they were arrogant, everyone was too afraid of them to talk to them honestly.

Aiden, Sam's mate, come up next. For them, it is just a lot of questions about each other. Sam also chooses to brush her hand against his, but nothing else. After, there was Christopher, Emma's mate. I talk to him first to warn him,

"If you harm Emma because she is an omega or do anything, you have me to watch out for." He nods and talks to her. At the end, Emma gives him a hug before heading back. Jason, Emilia's mate walks up. They start talking to each other peacefully, but at the end Jason says,

"I will always be here to protect you." This sets Emilia off because she is a warrior

"I can protect myself thank you! I survived without you before and I still can!" She storms off and I smirk. Guys are idiots sometimes. Jason should realize that having his mate be a warrior means she does not need protection. Miya and her mate Daniel have an easy conversation. 

Then Carson comes up. His intoxicating scent draws me closer and closer to him. I do not want to resist, but I do when I see Carson's smirk because he know the effect he has on me. He was baiting and teasing me on purpose! My mate growls at being used in this way. Two can play at that game! So I keep leaning forward towards him and his breath hitches. Good to know I can have a reaction from him too. At this point, my mouth is next to his ear and I whisper,

"No using the mate bond against me mate, it works both ways!" He shudders in pleasure as my hot breath breaths on his neck. How he must be cursing the mate bond right now! I pull awa y quickly and I can sense that Carson is displeased by it. I laugh, the day I start caring about what he thinks is the day I'll die. I turn to the others and announce,

"Meet and greet is over. Lead us to your base and I'll discuss with you the exact terms of our agreement once I've assured my pack is safe." I start walking in the direction the warriors went without even waiting for the alphas. My pack knows me well enough to follow and Elina mind-links us all,

"Are you sure about the white wolves?" I reply,

"Don't worry! I know what I will do." I break off the connection when the Alphas approach me. Alex, Elina's mate, offers,

"You will be the point of contact between us and our mates I assume?" I nod. Carson continues,

"We will come fetch you when everyone has been properly settled." I frown at the use of the word 'fetch'. I reply,

"I shall find you when I am ready, not before. I'll find you be your scent. If anyone lays a hand on the girls, I will kill them, alpha or not." The others take this threat in their stride, obviously not impressed. I fear that one of them will do something stupid. I need to prove my point about protecting my pack. I mind-link Elina so she will not interrupt,

"Don't worry!" I decide to attack Alex because he is the second strongest alpha and I cannot attack Carson. I tense my body and pounce. In two fluid movements, I have Alex in a compromising position with a silver knife near his throat. The other alphas do not intervene. I say,

"Believe me when I say I will kill anyone who hurts them!" The Alphas nod and I release Alex. He tries to come at me, but Carson holds him back. Probably to protect me, stupid misogynist man! I can protect myself. I continue on before taunting the alphas behind me one more time by talking to my pack,

"They are powerless before us. They know the threat is real and we have an agreement." I look behind me and all six Alphas are glowering at me. I smile wickedly at them. One of them sighs and says,

"If she was any other women, she would be dead right now." Another agrees,

"If she was any other women, we would not be in this situation." They do not know I can hear them, so turning back one more time tp shout,

"You betcha. I am the women who is the cause of your problems, but I wouldn't have it any other way." I flounce back to my pack and we start running to the camp, leaving the dumbfound alphas in our wake. 

This was going to be fun!
