Ouch! Go Away Alpha

Chapter 5

"Girls-? Ouch." He looked down at the pebble that had just hit him in the forehead. He growled and looked back up into the tree, seeing the brunette staring back at him, barely visible past the leaves.

"Buzz off, okay? None of us want this. Just go away."

Alpha Chase just stared at her. To most she would seem plain, but she was stunning. The sun was still setting and even from below, he could see how they sparkled in the last remaining rays of sun. She had the most perfect, round little nose and long eyelashes that fanned out against her cheeks every time she blinked. It looked as if she had tied her hair in a knot to keep it out of her face since she didn't have a ponytail holder at her dispense. He almost wanted to laugh at how cute she looked in that moment, but looks were deceiving, and so far, all she's shown him was how cunning and slick she was. He had to be careful with this one.

"Aren't you tired of running? Come down, little ones, and I can show you a place to rest your heads properly." He looked up at the two of them in the tree hopefully. The brunette seriously looked like she was contemplating it. He finally thought she was gonna give in, but then a bigger rock was thrown at him.

"Yeah, so when I wake up you can be buried balls deep inside of me against my will, forcing me to carry your pups. I think not!"

Luckily he caught the rock before it hit him right above his eye, but despite his kind and patient disposition, this wasn't something he could be laid back about. If he didn't grab her and mark her soon, she could belong to someone else, and that couldn't happen. He had eyes on her first.

He dropped the rock and cleared his throat rather loudly. "I'm giving you a chance to come on your own, but if you won't play nice, then I guess I'll just have to come up there myself."

She rolled her eyes and her face disappeared behind some pine needles. "I guess you will, then."

He nodded to himself and surveyed the tree, trying to find a way he could squeeze between the tight branches without getting his fur stuck. He shifted and started to dig his large claws into the thick tree bark, pulling himself up. The girls shifted in the tree and tried to move away.

This time, the blond girl threw a rock with all of her strength, and it hit him in the head. His wolf yelped and then growled, wanting to get this over with. He wanted to claim that stunning doe-eyed girl as soon as possible and he could smell the other alphas getting closer. The least he needed to do was scent her and then nobody could dare challenge him for her.

He retracted his claws from the tree and huffed, running in a circle around the tree and rubbing his face against the bark. At least maybe this would deter the other alphas a little bit and make them wary of coming too close.

He sat down and the two alphas trotted up to the tree, sniffing the air. They knew their prize was hidden up in the tree and planned to rip the other alpha apart to get it.

Alana watched carefully as the alpha crawled back down the tree. Vera gasped. "He's giving up."

Alana knew otherwise. "Alphas never give up, not that easily and not with a female involved." She was proven correct as the alpha scent-marked the tree and sat down, waiting patiently when two other alphas showed up. At first they were extremely slow to approach Alpha Chase, but when he didn't move and he showed almost no threat, they lunged at him.

Alana cringed as she watched them attack. As much as she wanted the alphas to leave her alone, she didn't want to watch Chase die or get seriously hurt. It was clear that he knew how to fight, though. He was holding his own for the most part, and the other two alphas weren't any match for him, but he was getting tired and the alphas were starting to draw blood and it was becoming hard to watch.

She looked at Vera who was watching with wide, tearful eyes. She'd never seen such violence over something as trivial as a female's attention. "We have to do something...they'll kill him."

Alana didn't want to help. She knew that the second she got out of that tree she was going to have an alpha or two on her ass and she wouldn't know what to do or where to go. No good deed goes unpunished.

She turned to Vera. "I need you to hug me."

"Is now really the time?"

"Trust me. Those alphas are after you. Your scent is so strong, and if they smell it on me, they'll leave him alone and chase me instead."

Vera shook her head. "No, then you're in danger." She grabbed a rock from the little makeshift pocket she had made in her shirt and hurled it at one of the alphas, making him stop dead in his movements. He looked right at Vera and growled. Vera shrank back and shut her eyes in fear.

Alana couldn't blame her. He was terrifyingly huge. Alpha Chase was bigger, but his wolf wasn't as aggressive. This wolf was the second biggest of all three, with a dark gray coat and huge black paws, and was trying to climb the tree, taking his attention off of the two other alphas who were still going at it.
