“Oh, yea I can see that. Well just relax, no sense in worrying about it now.”
    “I guess your right.” Smiling and laying back down. Sam is a smart man, and like any smart man he doesn’t let someone know when he has something on them. He walked back down without a glance to the woods. The male laid down and hid from the sun a little. I rolled over after about an hour and worked my other side. Panting beside me was the male.
    “Geez your gunna get heat stroke like that. Here.” Taking a half ice cube out of my drink and handing it to him. Licking my hand till it was gone and then licked once on my cheek.
    “Better?” I got a yip and a tail wag.

    “Hey Luna Dinner’s ready.” Sam yelled, as Marlene waved through the kitchen window.
    “Oh great, coming.” We were eating outside at the picnic table, Sam had built. This was a better idea since the females would smell me all over the house and the male wouldn’t be allowed in. Taking a few steps off the ladder down I lost my footing and tripped.
    “Luna.” Sam yelled rushing to me. I got a whine from the male who looked worried. A large black paw stepped out of the woods only to creep back in again undetected.
    “I’m fine, just clumsy.” I had caught myself with my palms and knees.
    “Damn you scared me.” Sam was shaking a little bit.

    “I told you we need a better way to get in the pool.” Marlene grumbled like a mother.
    “Yes dear, I’ll start working on it tomorrow.” If Sam had ears they would have been drooping. It made me laugh, she had him wrapped around her finger. Marlene didn’t even mind all the females living with Sam, she told me once that she doesn’t have the least bit of hate towards them. I would laugh, but could tell she really wasn’t bothered by it. Sitting at the table and eating everything from corn on the cob, to salad with strawberries and steak. I gave my left over’s to the male who gladly licked my fingers clean.

    “You better be careful Luna, or you’ll have another male problem on your hands.” Sam smirked watching him clean my hand.
    “Yea, I know. But he really is sweet.” Handing him another piece.
    “What are you two talking about?” Blinking rapidly at us.
    “Ah its nothing to worry about Marlene.” Shrugging my shoulders and taking my hand back.

With all the food gone we cleaned up, and I helped Marlene with the dishes before returning to her place. Her house was dressed in Indian motif. Pictures of her great family were in black in white, Maroon curtains flowed down to the floor onto a dark stain wooden floor. She did however have one of the comfiest couches I have ever sat on. Coming back out with a few sheets a pillow and a blanket for me.
    “Here you go, sorry this is the only thing I have that’s not hot right now.” Handing me a pair of plaid short shorts and a white tank top that had been cut to show almost all of your stomach. I laughed.
“Its fine, thanks”

    Since her AC was broken we hung outside till the bugs were unbearable. Then a cold shower and changed into my other clothes, if that’s what you wanted to call them. Marlene gave me a fan to blow over my body and she took her shower. She had a rule that wolves slept outside, unless the weather was unbearable for them. So my male friend went to his barn and curled up falling asleep. Crickets talked over the sound of the fan, while I lay half asleep.
    Something hot started moving its way up my stomach, and I twitched moving to my side. It began again down my shoulder to my wrist. It became clear something was touching me, my eyes snapped open.

A pair of glowing eyes fixated on me, it was so dark in Marlene’s house that making out the face was harder than in mine. The being snatched my wrist and pulling me upward. I gave a thought to yelling, but my mouth was cupped closed by a large hand.
    “Be quiet” He said, that voice was unmistakable…Alpha
His hand removed slowly making sure I wouldn’t yell waking her.

“You jackass, get out.” Trying to free my arm while whispering. It truly is hard to sound mean when your having to whisper everything.
    “Your coming with me.” Pulling me out of the living room.
    “No…let go.” Wiggling my arm to free it.
    “Stop fussing woman.” His arrogance was something to be astounded. When I didn’t stop fighting him, he signed and spun around. Lifting me off the ground and draping my tiny body over his shoulder and caring me out.

    “Put me down.” My voice squeaked, out of complete embarrassment. Pounding on his bare back, like some stupid child. Once outside I started to talk in a normal tone.
    “Put me down now” giving one good slam to his back.
    “I told you to quit fussing.” Smacking my ass. Thank god it was dark outside, cause I could feel the heat on my face and knew it would be red.
    “Touch me again like that, and I’ll kill you myself” Making tight fists. He laughed and opened my truck door, pushing me across the bench seat. Then proceeded to drive.

    “Get out.” Reaching for my keys, only to have him push me against the back of the seat and glare at me. He didn’t have to say anything, I already knew if I did anymore he would snap. So I stewed in my seat glaring at him the whole way home. Pulling onto my driveway I waited till the truck got close enough, before opening the door and getting out. The truck was still moving when I got out and I power walked to my house. Quickly turning the truck off and following after me, I slammed the screen in his face before heading to my room.

    “Bastard, just leave.” Stepping into my room and grabbing the door to close it. With one hand he pushed it open and bullied his way in.
    “Get out.” Taking a step away from him.
    “No.” My bed whacked the back of my knees making me fall backwards. Its amazing how little you feel when a two hundred and fifty pound werewolf is standing over you with glowing eyes. Scrambling to my bedside to grab a gun that I hid there, he took hold of my ankle and pulled me back under his eyes.

    “Stop trying to run to your pup.” Snarling at me. I paused looking around to see him. Pup? What the hell is he…the male? Twisting me around so he could see my face better, and holding my wrists down. “You smell like him” growling even more. His breathing was rapid and unsteady.
    “What are you talking about?” Shaking my head back and forth.
    “That male you smell like him, its stinks.” Pulling me off the bed and dragging me into the bathroom. My shower was a walk in, the tub was on the other side. Part of the reason I liked this house was because it had to separate wash areas. Pushing me into the shower and cranking the water on, its hit me like a ton of ice water. Like any normal person I reacted with a gasp and had a hard time breathing. My A/C was working so the house was already cold to begin with, this just made it unbelievably colder.

    Shaking from head to toe, my barrowed shirt and shorts were soaked all the way through. Leaving little to the imagination, it didn’t help that he was gawking at me the whole time. Turning the water off and sniffing me, he seemed satisfied and pulled me back out. His vindictive smile freaked me out and I did whatever I could to cover myself.
    “You’re a creep.” Whispering the words as they shook out.
    “Huh! Say whatever you want.” Pushing me out the door and back into my room. Tossing a towel at me and watching me dry off.

“Why don’t you just leave.” Wringing out my hair.
    “I thought you were going to fix me…Wolf Talker” Grinning as he slammed his hand next to my head. You would have thought this should have been high school with lockers behind me. Smiling ever so much, cause he knew what I was.
    “Just do whatever you want, just leave when your done.” Looking away from his glowing eyes. Not liking what I said he slammed his hand against the wall again, making a dent in my white wash wall.

    “Is that what you said to the other Alpha, maybe that’s why he came back for more.” Without even thinking I slapped him across the face.
    “How dare you?” His implying I was easy and fixed wolves with my body was an insult I couldn’t over look. Turning back to look at me, bringing his face to close to mine, I dipped away from him. Sliding my hand in my sock draw and pulling out a gun. It was loaded with silver bullets.
    “You aim to kill me?” Taking a step to me.
    “Just get out, leave me alone. I wont have you messing with me anymore.” Pointing the barrel at his heart. He took another step to me.

    “Shoot.” Smiling more and more with every step. I lowered the gun and shot a bullet at his feet. The sliver leaked out of the shell, it was a warning. Pointing it back at him.
    “Get out.” More forceful this time. He was still looking at the silver that covered the floor.
    “You use silver?” Still looking at it.
    “Yes.”
He slowly looked up at me. I could only imagine the sight I was. Soaking wet with barely anything covered and what was covered was see through, holding a gun that shot silver bullets.

Backing up slowly with a smile, he grabbed the side of the door and started to close it on his way out. The further in the hall he got the brighter his eyes became.
    “Good night woman.” Showing white teeth. The door closed and clicked shut. Still pointing the gun at it I locked the door, this wouldn’t stop him, but it made me feel a little be better. Sitting on my bed and shaking from the pure adrenaline rush, I broke down hearing the screen open and close. It had been a long time since I have felt this scared of a wolf.
    This Alpha was not only smart, fast, but he was also aggressive towards other wolves that put there smell on me. Luke was just crazy and thought of me as a pet, where this Alpha saw me more as property. Changing into something warmer clothing, I popped a blue colored pill into my mouth. I curled into my bed holding the gun throughout the night. Needless to say I didn’t sleep very well.

    For the next few days the Alpha was nowhere around. My food wasn’t being touched and I didn’t smell him anywhere. I had to explain everything to Sam and Marlene after my disappearing act that night. I had planned on taking the male into my home to fix him better, but Sam was against it.
    “You need to take a break, he’s fine where he is.”
    “Are you sure, I really don’t mind”
    “No, worry about you. Besides what if he comes back?”

Sam had a point, it wasn’t set in stone that the Alpha wouldn’t return, and if the male were in my house who knows what he’d do to him. I agreed to leave him for now and just relax. Sunday was my day back at work, and like always my boss was there to make me feel uncomfortable. The constant touching and flirting became more tiring than the work its self. I decided to take the large pile of trash building in the corner out to the dumpster, mainly to get the hell away from him.
