The Alpha Enforcer and His Dancing Warrior

Hold The Line Pt. 4

    Sierra came to get me. I ran up to my room, and grabbed the flash drive with the paperwork against Trevor. I caught Alpha Theo as he was leaving. I handed it to him. He smiled, “Thank you...Melanie.” I smiled, “Sure….I should thank you though.” He left. I walked over to Yellow Hills with Sierra. We practiced a little bit then Sierra and Addison grabbed me. Paige snorted. She played bass in our band. Addison led us into the main house into a guest room. She smiled, “I got here earlier. We have outfits for everyone.” I raised an eyebrow, “We usually just wear whatever.” Addison smiled, “But now we have mates to rile up.” I laughed, “What did you do?” She led me over to my outfit. I snorted, “Fishnets?” I shrugged. I put on a white tight t-shirt with a black and blue checkered shirt with suspenders. I left them hanging down. I put on the fishnets with the heels they’d left out. Addison smiled, “Let's add socks.” I laughed, “Umm ok?” She handed me white socks with black stripes. We were doing a grunge sexy look today. I put the heels back on. Addison squealed. The rest of the girls were dressed similarly without t-shirts. Sierra dragged me into the bathroom and did my make up while Paige chanted over my hair. When they stepped back I gaped, “Oh my god. My brothers….will yell at you guys.” 

            Addison snorted, “Jason wouldn’t dare yell at me or my friends.” I had red streaks in my hair. My makeup looked pretty fierce too. I looked them over. I laughed, “They will absolutely say something...and probably not just about me.” Paige smirked, “It was my idea.” I laughed, “Of course it was.” Xander linked me, “Where are you guys?” I answered, “Coming.” I said, “It’s time for us to go on.” Addison snorted, “Umm we are getting popped behind the stage.” I asked, “By whom?” Cassie popped in, “Me...OH MY GOD….I love everything about this. My big brother is going to lose it.” Cassie grabbed us and popped us to the guys. Mason choked on his water. He looked at Paige, “I know you were behind this.” Paige tilted her head innocently, “Who me?” Hendrick snorted, “Yes...you.” We walked out onstage. A lot of cheering, but a lot of growls I recognized. The ones that stood out to me were Xander, T, Jason, and my dad. Xander’s had a different tone to it...that I was certain my brothers recognized if I did. Addison spoke into the microphone, “Well hello Yellow Hills and allied friends alike. It’s nice to finally make it to this area. A special shout out to the birthday girl, Allison Daniels...a future Luna. We are honored to play for you tonight. WE ARE THE REBELS!” 

            I began to play our first song. I had several solos throughout the night. We were all laughing and having a great time. Freya snickered, “I know you don’t see it, but glance at mate….there’s a lustful fire in his eyes. Our family looks very proud too.” I stole a glance and nearly missed a note. Xander was staring at me hungrily. My family was looking at me with pride. I flushed and continued to play. We took an intermission. Mason put on a song for everyone to dance to. Addison and Sierra were trying to get me to dance. A group of teenagers from Black Mountain got in a circle around us. One smirked, “Show us what you got Muffin Luna!” I laughed as they basically declared a dance off. We traded moves. I spotted Xander hovering close by. I smirked when I saw he was wearing a ballcap. I maneuvered myself closer to him, and took his hat with a dance move. I rolled the hat up my arm onto my own head. The teenagers and large group who’d gathered lost their minds screaming. Xander smirked at me. I winked back. Addison laughed, “Let’s play the rest of our set.” She dragged me to the back of the stage. 

            Paige slapped my shoulder, “I AM SO PROUD OF YOU RIGHT NOW!” I laughed, “For dancing? Or winning a dance off?” Paige shook her head, “I don’t even care that you have no clue what you just did. Keep the hat on.” I frowned, “Where else would it go?” Paige snickered, “Riling up an Alpha unintentionally...she’s so cute.” I looked at Mason questioningly who said, “I’m not touching that.” Hendrick snorted, “Ditto.” I shrugged, “I didn’t rile him up. I took his hat…” Sierra snorted, “Sure. Exactly, guys. She just took his hat.” I nodded, “I know.” Addison laughed and took me back onstage. We started the second half of our set. Sierra linked me, “Our mates are practically salivating.” I linked back, “Are you going to tell me how taking his hat riled him up?” Sierra snickered, “No, it’s adorable that you didn’t do it on purpose. You were just being your happy self. I haven’t seen you this happy...since I met you, Mel.” I blushed. When we finished. Cayden and Cassie were waiting. I smiled, “Hey guys.” Cayden smirked, “Nice hat. Are you going to give it back?” I faked a gasp, “No it’s mine now. I got it fair and square.” Cayden threw his head back and laughed. Cassie handed me a drink. She smiled, “Alexander said you like cranberry vodka. I got you thirty minutes….and that required an act of god.” I tilted my head, “Huh?” Cassie snorted, “Go mingle and enjoy your thirty minutes sister in law of mine.” I nodded, “Sure.”

            I walked out with my friends. MaryBeth and Melinda were waiting. I wanted to cringe but didn’t. They squealed, “You were SO good!” I smiled, “Thanks guys.” Melinda asked, “So...now that we all have mates….triple date? Some time?” I nearly sighed in relief at their timeframe. I nodded, “Sure. Sometime, we can all go out with our mates.” MaryBeth smiled, “Just like we’d planned.” I nodded, “Yeah.” We had a lot of plans. They were going to help me get ready for school dances. I was going to help them. I’m sure they went to theirs. I never did. Haley popped over, “I’m stealing her. We are on a countdown, people.” MaryBeth and Melinda snickered. Haley popped me away. I linked her, “Thanks.” She nodded, “I’d imagine you have other things you planned that didn’t happen.” I nodded. She bumped my hip, “Don’t think about that s**t tonight. You are very talented. You clearly have fun dancing and playing the guitar.” I smiled, “I do.” She nodded, “Then don’t ever give those things up.” I smiled, “I won’t.” Someone cleared their throat. I turned around. I could feel myself pale. My Grandma Esther was behind us. Haley squeezed my hand and walked away. I downed my drink, “Grandma Esther.” She smiled, “Ladybug…..you are stunning.” I smiled, “Thanks.” She pointed to some chairs. I sat down. She studied me, “There is nothing in this world that would make me not love you. You are my grandbaby. I may not agree with your choices….or the things you do, but I will always love each and every one you.” A drink was conjured into my hand. I took a big gulp. I nodded “Ok.” 

            She squeezed my hand, “I’m glad you still found things and people who make you smile. Your grandpa tells me you are quite the shot….just like your grandma.” I chugged my drink, “Does he?” Grandma Esther smiled like she had a secret. She added, “Yes, what you did here the other day was impressive. We will have to go to the range together sometime.” I didn’t sigh in relief, but I wanted to. I nodded, “We could do that.” The gun range was a safe place. It required protective gear….and shooting. Not a lot of heart to hearts happening on the gun range. She smiled and got up. I walked over and found TJ and Allison. I smiled, “Happy birthday Allison.” She jumped into my arms for a hug. She stepped back and squealed, “You’re so cool! And awesome! Isn’t she TJ?” TJ smiled at her lovingly, “Of course she is. She’s my sister in law.” I laughed, “Glad you guys think so.” Xander popped behind me, “Your thirty minutes are up. Now you’re mine.” TJ snorted. Xander popped us away. He gripped my hips and ground into me. He was definitely ready for sexy time. Freya purred, “Finally.” Finally? We were crazed s*x people last night. Xander nipped my marking spot. I shivered. He trailed his fingers along my neck, “Alone at last.” I smirked. I had a feeling this was going to be another crazy night.
