It took way to long, getting back to the cabin. Parked out front was two cop cars, taking the hunter away. Roy was speaking with one of them. An ambulance was just pulling up.

    “I thought I said I was fine Roy” Glaring at him, and taking a quick look at the ambulance.

    “You need it looked at, at least” Almost begging me.

    “God you’re a pain.” Tossing him the keys to the bike, while taking a seat for the medics to look at my shoulder. The bullet had already popped out, and they seemed confused by this.

    “I pulled it out” Trying to give them a reason.

    “That’s dangerous, you could tare tissue or worse” One side.

    “I’m not worried about it” Rolling my eyes, looking away. He seemed annoyed by my lack of care towards my body, if he only new. Bandaging me up, and giving me a pain killer. It was pointless, human pain killers didn’t do squat for me. Filling out the rest of my report, I told the cops I would fax it to them. Driving away, Roy stared at me.

    “What?” Huffing while pulling the door open. Following me inside, the comfortable room I had another cup of coffee.

    “You should of gone to the hospital” Folding arms over his wide chest.

    “And you should let it go” Dropping the four sugars.

    “You got that right” The Alpha chimed in, walking through the door.

    “What are you doing here?” Glaring daggers into his heart, hoping the force would work outside of the movies.

    “I’m friends with one of the local cops, he said you got shot. So I thought I would drive you home” Grinning. Clever Alpha.

    “No thank you” Sticking my nose up at him.

    “Edon, please let him take you home” Roy pleaded, giving me sad old man eyes. Growling I hate when he gives me that look.

    “Fine, if it will shut the both of you up” Roy smiled, and looked at Salim.

    “Take care of her”

    “Of course” Grinning cause he won. Grabbing my bag, walking out after leaving the mug in the sink. My feet stopped when my eyes graced the steel grey BMW x5.

Almost bumping into me, a low chuckle makes me blush.

    “You approve?” Leaning in so his breath tickles my ear. Huffing walking the rest of the way to the car. It beeps signaling its unlocked, opening the passenger door. The doors close, as he starts the engine. Defiantly doesn’t sound like my beat up old truck. Backing out, he drives like an old guy.

    “Someone has money” Leaning on the door looking out.

    “Is that bad?” A little confused be my tone.

    “No, just making an observation”  Twisting and turning down the long gravel path, till it cuts to hard dirt.

~Salim~

Her smell is mouth watering, having a hard time keeping my eyes on the road. She seems annoyed, and its making my wolf uneasy. He wants her to smile, and be carefree like last night. I didn’t mean to cause her any trouble, but having a gun pointed at her; was more then wolf and I could handle. We are to protect her, never thinking her job was dangerous. This is proving to be harder then I thought.

    When her mother asked me to look out for her, I didn’t think it was going to be a full time job. However I can’t get her out of my mind. The little moments when I get to see or smell her, relaxes me completely. Putting wolf at ease.  This would be so much easier, if she was living in my house. Hummm. Having her to wake up to every morning, seeing her go to bed down the hall every night…doesn’t sound to bad.

    “Your offley quiet.” Turning those stunning eyes my way.

    “What would you like to talk about?” Trying to keep an eye on the road.

    “Does it really matter?”

    “You brought it up?” Chuckling.

    “Why were you in the park anyways?”

    “I told you I was checking up on you.” This sounds like she’s fishing for info.

    “Stalker!” Grumbling under breath.

    “Where do you come up with these assumptions?” Grinning turning right as the road curves.

    “Your making it easy, to assume such things.” Snapping my head to see her, an award winning smile makes its way on her face. I find myself looking to long, and have to jerk the wheel before hitting a large tree.

    “Drive much?” Shaking her head.

    “I’m an excellent driver” Grumbling.

    “Sure, it shows” Leaning her arm on the window again.

    “I am!” Getting annoyed that she doesn’t believe me.

    “Sure, sure. Not sure who your trying to convince more Alpha” Playfully catching me off guard. Is she messing with me?

    “I’ll prove it” Feeling the need to show off my driving skills. Kicking the gas, we start speeding through the twists and turns. I would of thought she would yell at me to slow down, or at least grab the safety handle, but she doesn’t even move. Instead I’m blessed with her long yawn, as her hand pats her lips.

    “Boring” Dragging it out. Feeling like my ego has just been kicked in the balls, I step it up. This really isn’t the car I should be flying down on this road, however I wasn’t expecting to prove anything today. My plan was just to give her a ride, if anything to spend more time alone with her. Now at 92mph down a road that should only be going a slow 45mph, the trees started to blur and mess together.

    “If your done, you missed my street” Looking annoyed.

    “I’m not taking you to your house.” Snickering to myself.

    “Come again?” Frowning, giving her face a very scary look.

    “Your going to start living in my…” She never let me finish.

    “You better not finish that sentence with, ‘house’”  Her eyes going a dark color. Oh boy!

    “Why not?” Slowing the car down.

    “I have a perfectly good home, and I don’t need to be living with a pack” Keeping her stair.

    “You’ll be safer in my house”

    “Like hell I will, a house full of unmated wolves. How can that be safer then my place?” Crossing her arms, it only made her chest push up further. Blushing as I remembered what she looked like with out clothing. Thoughts of her sleeping naked in my house, making me smile.

    “WELL?” Snapping me out of my happy daydream.

    “No one will touch you”

    “Ha, says a male” Shaking turning to look out the windshield.

    “I’m serious. I’ll order them”

    “Who’s going to order you?” Turning an eye, with a raised brow. Good point, girly.

    “I wont do anything…without your permission” Watching her expression.

    “Don’t hold your breath.” Scoffing.

Was that an insult? What’s wrong with me? Plenty of she-wolves have been clawing at a chance to be with me. Alpha’s always get the best of everything, and here she was looking at me like I was no more then a runt pup. What’s with this girl, she has no respect for my Alpha. Yet I find her charming, and witty with a fire center. Wolf finds her refreshing, wanting her more as we talk.

    Laughing her last comment off, she seems more annoyed I didn’t get mad. Maybe she’ll lighten up my house. Its been dark, ever since we let two females go to Cain’s. He is my twin after all. Knowing his dark side my whole life. He grew darker when I got a pack before him. We fight contently, mostly over land and females. It wasn’t my first choice to let Leah and Tammy go to his pack. But they wanted to, not wanting to upset them I agreed. They might of still been alive, had I refused their leave.

    Her gasp as we pulled around a corner, showing off the large house. Traveling a lot made me want something a little different. I settled for a white house, with large pillars all over. Four large ones in the front, side porches also had a few smaller ones. French style trim with Spanish ascents covered over the windows. Perfectly cut grass, covered a few acres in the front yard. We had over four fireplaces, one being in the living room, and another in my room.

    “Is it big enough?” Huffing. Why does it feel like she’s not impressed. I would of thought this was a woman’s dream house. Scratching my head, as the car pulled to a stop.

    “Come on in” Stepping out. She sat still for a few minutes, before clicking the seat belt off. Opening her door, she frowned only to shake her head. I really don’t get this woman. Her eyes trail all over the house, giving it another chance…or maybe trying to decide if she even likes it. Following me up the six steps, her eyes still looking around. Opening the large white door, we step into a black marble floor. Turning around her face is a mixture of laughter and annoyance. Arms folded over her chest, while clicking her tongue off the roof of her mouth. A shaking head adds to her, annoyed look.

    “I see where my tax dollars go” Turning to me.

    “I beg your pardon?” Now I’m irritated. Where does she get off, speaking to me like that. As if taxes went into building this house.

    “Never mind” Sighing. About to make her go on, my Beta walks in.

    “Hey boss, Oh hello” Smiling at Edon.

    “Hi” Giving him almost no attention. He eyes me, wondering what’s going on.

    “Edon will be staying here…”

    “I will not be staying here” Cutting me off again.

    “Yes you will”  Snapping at her.

    “You can’t make me” Sticking out her tongue. How grown up.

    “Well then your gunna have to sleep on the floor.” Gloating, since I already had her things moved here.

    “Please tell me, you didn’t have your pups empty out my house.” The amount of heat and anger, flowing off her now was very impressive.

    “Their not pups, and yes I did” Folding my arms. Her head drops, as clenched fists start to shake.  Watching her closely my Beta links me.

~This doesn’t look good, boss~

~She’ll get over it~  I hope.

    “What next Alpha, you plan to take my freedom as well?” Never raising her head.

    “You still have your freedom, I just don’t have the man power to keep having a pack member at your house”

    “So this is just more…convenient for you?” Making the convenient part a little deeper.

    “You could say so” My face staying neutral. Her power level hadn’t resided, if anything it had grown. Heels turn her around, as she walks out the front door. Looking at my Beta, he looks just as shocked as me. We follow her, she clearing across the front yard, and headed in the direction of her house.

    “Where are you going?” Catching up.

    “Home” Still not making eye contact.

    “I told you there isn’t any…”

    “I heard what you said.” Snapping with of pure lava. That’s it, she’s pushing her luck with me. Grabbing her arm, swinging her around so her face has to look at mine.

“What’s your problem? I’m doing this out of the kindness of my heart.” Growling.

    “Bullshit. Your doing this cause you get a rich deal out of it.” Pulling on her arm. Tightening my grip, she glares. Its better then her not looking at me at all.

    “Its not that rich”

    “Then let me go home” Growling, back. Green envy snap at my grays, she’s more then pissed.

    “I can’t do that.”

    “Why the fuck not?” Still wiggling out of my hold. I refuse to let her go. That smell of hers is becoming over powering with the push of anger, flooding around us.

    “I have my reasons”

    “There not good enough!” Taking me by surprise, just long enough to pull away. Black hair whips across my face, as she once again turns on her heels and walks off. My wolf is in half purr and growl mode. He’s just as confused as me, wanting to punish her for disrespect yet, proud that we finally found a woman with a backbone. Amazing as she is, I wont let her leave me.

    “Edon” Stomping to her. Reaching for her arm, I find myself laying face first in the dirt. Her good arm, pinning my once reached out arm behind my back. A heavy boot pushing down on my lower back.

    “Alpha, maybe you didn’t know this, but I am a black belt and can fight with the best of bests. I don’t need your packs protection, nor do I want it.” Pushing a little hard on my arm and back. Winching in pain, she’s got a good grip.

    “Your disrespecting an Alpha Edon” Growling out the disrespect.

“Am I no? Well then I beg to be pardoned, your Alpha ship.” Feeling her mocking only proved to anger wolf and I further. A clicking sound as my eyes widen. Turning to see, she’s handcuffed my wrist and leg together.

    “That’s a good look for you” Chuckling she walks off.

    “EDON, TAKES THESE OFF?” Snarling, while trying to get a better look at her.

    “Oh, I am so sorry Alpha baby, I don’t have a key for that set” Pouting her lower lip, it fades with a light playful grin. Squirming more, only makes her laugh. Playing with a few strands of hair, those eyes sparkling at me. Its hard to keep my anger, when I see how happy she is looking. Even if its at my expense. Her little fingers waving good bye, walking backwards.

    “EDON!”

    “Bye bye Alpha” Giggling.
