The Alpha Enforcer and His Dancing Warrior

Theorizing Pt. 2

        When I came I felt my teeth elongate. They itched. I longed to bury them in her neck. I conjured a pillow and ripped it to shreds. I snapped it all clean. I’d not meant to be that possessive with her. I just couldn’t help her. I used my healing sense. She was perfectly fine, nothing to heal. She was going to be the death of me. She fought like that all the time, she had to. Melanie was adorably clueless about what happened. I broke it down for her. She pointed out she pinned those guys in an unsexual way. I was aware. If it was s****l there would be a lot of dead members in Elias’ pack. Her eyes were drifting shut. I told her to sleep. I held her. I linked Oden, “How asleep is she?” Oden linked, “She’s out…..really out.” I conjured my phone. I didn't bother to check anything on it. I just wanted to make a call. 

            I called my cousin, Spencer, my Uncle Marcus’ son. He answered immediately, “Alexander…..I’m surprised to get your call. Everyone around here wants to talk to you, and you call me.” I rolled my eyes, “I’m conjuring my phone back to my room after this call. I won’t be calling anyone else. I need a favor, cousin.” Spencer was quiet, “Alright. What’s the favor?” I told him, “I need you to get everything you can on the man who has claimed Ashley Griffen is his mate.” Spencer laughed, “Did you finally reach your limit with that situation….because of the rumor?” I frowned, “What rumor?” Spencer laughed, “That after all this waiting….your Melanie….has surfaced and that you are with her.” I told him, “I’m not saying that.” Spencer snorted, “Of course you aren’t. I will get everything there is to know about said individual whose name you have never wanted to know.” I growled, “I’ll know everything there is to know. I want to know where he’d hide...I want to know what he loves….I want every single DAMN thing about him Spencer...what his likes and dislikes are….what he’s afraid of.” Spencer was silent for a moment. 

            Eventually he said, “Damn cousin. That’s why you called me then. You don’t just want some details….You want the dive down dirty details that come from hidden observation. My specialty.” I answered, “Yes.” Spencer sounded excited, “Do I get to at least stab him one time when you get him? I have not liked this wolf for some time now.” I snorted, “I’ll bloody eagle the bastard when I’m finished with him. What’s a single stab wound?” Spencer said, “Well….isn’t that just interesting. Now I find, I’m confused about what I think that I know.” I asked him, “Can you keep this between us?” Spencer said, “What’s my time frame to get you information?” I told him, “I want it when I get back from my mission.” Spencer agreed, “Alright. Between us for that long then. I’m off. This is fun. I know how much you’ve wanted to do something about this situation. I’m beyond curious about specific things. I know you’ll tell me when you can though.” I told him, “I’ll tell you all of it when you give me the information on the dead piece of s**t after my mission.” Spencer said, “Well then. I’m off.” I hung up the phone and conjured it back to my bedroom at home. A nap couldn’t hurt. 

            I pulled Melanie into me and fell asleep. This time I woke up before her. I smiled. Her eyes opened a few minutes later. She stretched then looked over at me and blushed. I smiled, “I love that blush.” She smiled, “I love you….I mean...oh my god….that’s way too soon. It just came out. I didn’t mean to say that out loud...that was a head thought….not a say out loud thought.” I kissed her and grabbed her before she could jump out of bed. I pulled back, “I love you too.” Tears pricked her eyes. She whispered, “You don’t know me.” I told her, “Yes, I do.” I knew more about her than she could possibly imagine. Not what happened these last few years obviously….but I had several ins on that front. Cayden knew her. Cayden was not only my brother in law, but my friend. Micah knew her too. I’d know what they knew before long. I bit her lip gently. I told her, “I love you. I love when you rant. I love that you can cook, I love that you can fight too, sexily might I add. I love the way you dance. The way you move as if you are one with the earth and the music. I love that you didn’t let people look differently at you for not having a wolf until we met. I’ve long since admired you, Lovebug. I love that you multitask better than anyone I have ever met. I love that you play the guitar. You’re in a band...that’s hot.” She blushed.

            Melanie grabbed my face and brought her lips to mine for a soul searing kiss. She flipped us so that she was on top. She whispered, “I don’t know what I’m doing.” I smiled, “I’m not much help, but I’m sure we can figure it out.” She lined us up and slowly slid down on me. I groaned, “Oh god. It feels better every time.” She smiled. She began to rock us back and forth slowly. I gripped her hips. She found her groove after a few moments and sped up her pace. I reached up and rubbed my fingers over her n*****s that I could see through her shirt and sports bra. She whimpered. I’d suck on them if I could get her to take off her damn shirt. Oden linked, “We will see her naked eventually.” He was right. She couldn’t hide for the next several hundred years. I’d tell her I could heal her scar when she told me about it. 

            I slid my fingers between us and started to play with her c**t. She gasped and her eyes locked on mine. I couldn’t stop my smirk. She threw her head back, and I felt her walls begin to quiver around me. I told her, “Come for me, Lovebug.” She screamed my name, “XANDER!” I smiled, “Mine.” I flipped her onto all fours. I spanked her ass. She gasped again. I played with the bottom on her shirt. She whispered, “Xander?” I smiled and lined us up. I slid inside her. She gripped the sheets. I spanked the other side of her butt cheek and she made a choking sound. I smiled, “You like that. Don’t you?” She whispered, “Yes, my Alpha.” I gripped her hips and slammed into her. She screamed with pleasure. I lost my control. She’d called me her and Alpha. Melanie collapsed onto her stomach after I’d come. I smiled and pulled her to me. 

            She was gasping for air. She snorted, “You should mention in your cardio sessions that…..it’s not s*x stamina. Holy mother of pearl.” I laughed, “I wouldn’t have known.” She smiled and kissed me. Her stomach growled. I smiled, “Time to feed you.” She pouted, “I’m tired. I feel like I could sleep more.” I smiled, “Then let me go conjure some things from the kitchen. I’ll bring everything back here.” She smiled, “Ok.” I popped to the kitchen. I heard her run into the bathroom. Then the shower turned on. Phil met me in the kitchen. He smiled, “Ahhh my favorite cousin. I was hoping to bump into you here….so I did not have to make dinner. You know I’ve never been embarrassed that all I can make is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich…..Now I am.” I snorted and snapped both of us trays with burgers and fries. I threw in onion rings too. Phil smiled, “You really are my favorite cousin.” I laughed, “Sure.” I gave it a few more moments not wanting to rush Melanie in her shower. I waited until ten minutes after the water had turned off. Her scent was wafting. I walked in. She smiled. I asked, “Do you use strawberry scented soap?” Melanie smiled, “Yes and Shampoo.” I growled when I looked down. She was in my hoodie. One from earlier. I put the tray down and backed her into the wall. I kissed her hard. I pulled back, “You look good in my clothes.” She smiled, “I like them. They smell REALLY good.” I laughed, “I’m going to jump in the shower. You look good with wet hair.” She smiled and put her hair into a bun. 

            I stripped. I could smell her arousal as I jumped in for the fastest shower of my life. Melanie was waiting for me at the table in the room. She’d put the plates out. I snapped her vodka cranberry drink and a beer for myself. She smiled, “This is nice.” I smiled, “I’m glad you think so. I can make sure we do this at least twice a week at home.” She smiled and looked longingly at me. I told her, “It’s happening. I want you in Black Mountain with me.” She smiled, “I hope so.” I pulled her chair over to mine and we ate. Her eyes were drifting shut. I frowned and linked Oden, “Are we overworking her?” Oden linked back, “No she’s adjusting to having Freya now. Normally that happens as a wolf is sixteen. Her body just wasn’t prepared to have a wolf. Freya is getting stronger, but she needs to get a lot stronger.” I picked up Melanie and snapped everything away. She clutched my neck, “You smell so good. I don’t want you to ever go.” I told her, “I won’t.” She was asleep, but still talking. She whispered, “Everyone leaves me.” I froze, “I will never leave you, Lovebug. You’re mine and I’m yours. That’s forever.” She whispered, “I want that to be true.” I told her, “It is.” She didn’t answer. 

            Everyone leaves her? What the HELL was going on? There was no way the McAlister’s just threw her into whatever this is…..Is there? I couldn’t be allies with them if they did. EJ would be in a tough spot, but I would not have that. Jason wouldn’t though. I knew Jason was so proud of Melanie’s dancing. Why would they have a link to watch her dance if they knew she wasn’t there? That clicked for me. They didn’t know. Did the supernatural council even lie about the McAlister’s themselves to Melanie? Drake would be through the roof pissed off. All of them would. Peter, Dalton, and Dakota would be right there with him. This happened when Peter was the Alpha, but Melanie was still Dalton and Dakota’s pack member. She had to think something bad about us and allies to not come home. It HAD to be specific to her because the resistance was sending us people that needed help. She was doing all this alone. If I was right. Oden linked, “You were already pretty certain it was her.” I frowned, “What’s her problem with Jason then? Can she really believe that T is dead? She keeps saying Jason the Beta?” Oden sighed, “Maybe? The sniper has been around though.” I agreed, “Yes, but T has never been targeted. Ever. He’s never even been sent out.” Oden sighed, “This is crazy. Why would they do that to her?” I frowned, “I do not know, but I’ll find out.” 

            Oden was unhappy. I asked, “About your earlier comments about our mate being special. What do you know? I promise to believe you.” Oden snorted, “Of course you’d believe me. I’ve been right for the last several years.” I sighed, “Yes, yes, yes. You were right. What’s going on with her? Will she shift? Is she going to be ok if she can’t? Will Freya?” Oden gloated, “She’ll shift. She just needs to be strong enough. Mate is…” I sighed, “Special….I know...WHY do you keep saying that?” Oden sighed, “I can’t tell you. You’ll have to find out.” I was annoyed, “Special like….I need to up to training? Special like she’s a fighting machine like me? Special like she’s our whole world?” Oden answered, “All of those are accurate.” I growled, “Oden if there is a threat to our mate, I need to know. You know that!” Oden sighed, “Just…..prepare. Mate IS very special. She is special to us, but in general.” I asked, “Do you know what all she’s been through? Do you know who is behind this?” Oden snorted, “I’d tell you that. I don’t know. Freya told me she’s weak because she’s been hurting all this time locked away inside Melanie. She didn’t know what was going on, but it hurt her to be locked away. It’s part of why she’s so weak. She broke through a few times. Briefly when mate was in danger.”

            I asked, “Does she know about the guy who tried to mark her? Is that what happened? It’s what everyone thinks. No one believes that accident bullshit.” Oden growled, “His wolf's name is Apex. Freya contacted him briefly and he told her his name. He wanted her. He respected her, but he wanted her.” I growled, “He can’t have her!” Oden snarled, “She wasn’t going to let him have her.” I asked, “So she remembers that accident? What happened?” Oden told me, “Melanie does not remember. Freya said there’s something weird about it. What Freya could tell me was there was a fight…..she briefly got Melanie’s memories of the day when she broke through. Melanie fought some guy in the pack, then fought some other guy. After that fight, she’d been hurt.” I frowned, “How?” Oden sighed, “Unclear. She was hurt though, and Apex’s human attacked her. He bit her in multiple places before Melanie won the fight. Melanie was off kilter from her injuries and Freya surfacing for a moment. Her friends were driving afterwards and that’s when the car accident happened. He chased after her. She threw her friends out of the car. That’s how they weren’t seriously hurt. Freya guided Melanie through a holoport her witch friend had created when she was thrown from the car. Then she lost consciousness again. That’s all she knows.” I snorted, “That’s a HELL of a lot considering Melanie doesn’t remember much of anything.” 

            Oden told me, “You need to convince her to report the whole thing. Freya told me…..Melanie filled out all the paperwork about Trevor after you asked her to.” I frowned, “My dad didn’t tell me that.” Oden sighed, “She didn’t submit the papers to anyone. She filled them out though….because of you.” I asked him, “EJ said she had a crush on me.” Oden said, “No. She knew you were her mate. She always has.” I frowned, “That’s not possible Oden.” Oden smugly said, “Oh, but it is.” I asked, “How? She’s not a fairy. She’s a full blooded werewolf.” Oden snickered, “You’ll see.” I huffed, “Cryptic damn wolf.” Oden told me, “You might actually fall over.” I frowned, “Why won’t you just tell me?” Oden sighed, “I can’t.” I asked, “How long have you known?” Oden told me, “From the moment I heard her name.” I frowned, “Melanie’s name? That’s a long time.” Oden snorted, “No, since I heard her wolf's name.” I frowned, “You're a new wolf. I’m your first human. How could you know another wolf you hadn’t met before?” Oden sighed, “All wolves know their history, new or not.” I frowned, “I know werewolf history too. Or are you referring to Norse Mythology?” Oden laughed, “I’m not talking about Norse Mythology. Wolves have been waiting a long time for Freya to pick/get a human.” 

            I racked my brain. Finally I linked Phil, “Hey…” Phil linked back, “You are so lucky my mate just fell asleep.” I linked back, “You’ve cockblocked me and my mate multiple times now. Ask your wolf if he knows Freya.” Phil linked back, “Uhh ok. Why?” I linked back, “Oden says wolves have been waiting a long time for her.” Phil linked back, “Weird. Hold please and I will ask Rocket.” After several moments Phil answered, “Ok...he does know Freya, BUT he’s never met her until now. What is happening?” I linked, “I have no damn idea. Oden keeps telling me she’s special. I need to up our warriors training.” Phil groaned, “No you don’t.” I linked, “Oden said I do.” Phil said, “Hold on.” he came back a few seconds later, “Rocket said you do too. What the hell Alexander? Who is her wolf to other wolves?” I linked, “I don’t know. I was hoping that you knew. I’ve never heard of Freya outside of the gods. I didn't know Freya was important to wolves.” Phil snorted, “The wolf half of the werewolf anyway. Rocket has felt protective of her. I thought it was because she’s my cousin's mate and Luna….It’s more than that though.” I looked at Melanie. I linked, “Has she not been through enough? I don’t even know exactly what it is…..I know that the dead fucker...is dead. f**k it. What’s his damn name Phil?” 

            Phil linked back, “You actually want to know?” I linked, “Freya told Odin snippets of the details. He tried to mark her after she got hurt in a fight. Then he tried to wreck her car and mark her that way. Cayden had to have hidden her. She didn’t sign AMA forms. Micah forged them I’d bet. Cayden saved her. I’ll never be able to repay him. That asshole would’ve marked her while she was unconscious. TELL. ME. HIS. NAME!” Phil linked back, “Nothing good comes from this. His name is Trevor McCann.” I roared in our link, “MCCANN?! MOTHER FUCKER! That family is DONE! DONE! PHIL!” Phil linked back, “Phil understands and is now temporarily deaf, but Phil does know that the McCann family is going to be wiped out.” I was seething, “How did THAT happen? MCCANN?! Are you serious?! After the problems our allies had?? OHHH.” Phil said, “At the risk of you blowing my eardrums off…..we couldn’t prove he was lying before….but now we can. Obviously because she’s your mate.” I snarled, “We could’ve proved it without that. His action f*****g prove it! He tried to take what’s mine. He HURT HER! HE’S SO BEYOND f*****g DEAD! I WILL TORTURE HIS PATHETIC ASS FOR YEARS AND THEN BLOOD EAGLE HIM IN FRONT OF OUR HACKURA PEOPLE!” Phil inked back, “And there goes the eardrums. Inhale deeply. Maybe conjure yourself a paper bag to breathe into.” 

            I did. Strawberries. I clutched Melanie tighter to me. Oden linked me, “I’m mad too, but not one but us can mark mate.” I linked, “Because she is a good fighter!” Oden linked me, “No because no other mark would stay. It would’ve seriously hurt her though.” I linked back, “What on god’s green earth are you going on about now? That’s not possible.” Oden linked, “Typically speaking….most things are possible.” I growled at him. Phil linked, “Did you calm down?” I linked, “Calm down? CALM DOWN?! My wolf is telling me Melanie can’t be marked by someone who isn’t us.” Phil linked, “Rocket said the same thing.” I linked, “Did he tell you what that meant?” Phil snorted, “No. It can’t be that he can’t mark her because the Alpha would kill him and she’d lose her mark. Their Alpha should’ve killed him for 1. Claiming to be Melanie’s mate. 2. Trying to forcibly mark her and 3. Crashing into her car to try to get it done while she’s unconscious. That’s just a whole other level of low man. Even the Beta….The Gamma is his dad but….come on.” I linked, “They are dead. ALL of them, and we are having a CHAT with the future leadership. She’s their friend.” Phil linked, “Alexander…..there is clearly a difference in that pack and the packs we know about. Something SERIOUSLY different. On a sinister level. Like more than your dad even suspects. Well...maybe now that nothing happened with the Ashley Griffen salutation.” 

            I linked back, “You’re right. Could they be involved with the ring?” Phil linked, “Whoa….I was not going there. That’s dark.” I linked, “Nashville is dark.” Phil sighed, “I will get in touch with my warrior buddy when we get back. I think he’d tell me if they suspected though. He could ask his mate. That’s a serious accusation. Is this possibly finding out the man who wishes he was you’s name that has you think this?” I linked back, “Trevor McCann wants to mark MY MATE! He doesn’t want to be me. I know it is serious. I’m just speculating. Maybe there’s another reason Nashville freaks out if one of us shows up. Maybe they aren’t just scared of us. Maybe they are scared we will discover what they are doing.” Phil linked, “Yes, well I was going with wanting to be you because saying mark your mate was going to make your burst the one eardrum I have left. I was thinking maybe they were involved with the drugs.” I linked, “Probably that too.” Phil sighed, “Great. I’ll be looking for evidence no one has ever found against….my mate’s dad’s pack. This really has turned into a lovely vacation.” I linked back, “She doesn’t like her dad.” Phil linked, “I can tell. I knew that from the fact that she’s friends with Ashley Griffen before we knew she was Melanie McAlister. There’s a difference in not liking your father….and condemning him to death.” I linked back, “I think she’ll surprise you.” Phil snorted, “If I’m in hot water….you’ll be right there beside me.” I linked back, “Good thing I have cousins who can cool down water.” Phil snorted, “Gotta be a wise ass.” I linked back, “Good night Phil.” Phil muttered, “Good night Phil. I just ruined your whole day, but you have a good sleep.” I smirked. 

            I popped down to the gym here. I began to hit the heavy bag, and I planned. I thought through things too. If Black Path was involved in the rings….Is that why the Supernatural council sent Melanie in? Did they convince her that she could help protect her family? Or was Phil right and I just wanted to obliterate that pack? It could just be the drugs. It felt right though that they were in the ring. I linked Oden, “Why would they take Melanie? You said Freya is the one wolves know about. As far as everyone is concerned….Melanie has no wolf. No one knew her wolf’s name.” Oden linked, “It’s not about her wolf. She is smart, Alexander.” I knew she was. She was even someone who naturally earned people’s respect and loyalty. Even if you don’t like your dad….to stand with the girl who outwardly challenged him….that was big. I popped back to our room and took a shower. I popped back into bed and fell asleep. 

            When I woke up the bed was cold. I sighed and said out loud, “I really need to tell her I like waking up with her.” Oden linked, “Go get whatever she cooked…..it smells amazing. I want it.” He was right. This time….I’d get her a plate and snape the whole kitchen clean. I walked downstairs. Melanie was still in my hoodie. She was just putting everything onto a serving dish. She smiled at me. I swear my heart skipped a beat when she smiled. I asked, ‘What’s this?” Melanie smiled, “Crepes. I made egg muffins too. A little dessert for breakfast never hurt anyone.” Phil walked in. Melanie handed him a thermos. She had a coffee cup ready for Sierra. Phil smiled, “Ohhh….I like her.” Sierra screeched, “YOU MADE YOUR DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS WITH A FUDGE CENTER?!” Sierra ran to the muffins and grabbed them all. Melanie smiled and pulled two more pans from the oven. Sierra turned to look at me, “Never leave us. She only makes these when she’s REALLY happy. We’ve had them TWICE….TWICE! She meets you and they are back. I’m telling EVERYONE I had these. Oh my god. I’m so excited. Literally nothing could ruin this moment for me. Seriously….someone try.” Phil snorted, “No one will try to ruin my sugar lips day.”

            Sierra smiled, “I’ll even let you get away with the whole sugar lips thing. These muffins...Are that good. AND YOUR CREPES ASH! OH MY GOD! Build the man a shrine. A shrine. Alexander….you’re getting one. Good lord, is your whole pack just that good? Are you all just that good in bed?” Melanie slapped her arm, “SAMANTHA!” Sierra laughed, “What? Phil is. His Alpha CLEARLY is. You’re making all your happy foods. ALL of them. All of these things you taunted us with then never make because we live in a perpetual place of suck. Oh god. Black Mountain is not ready. We will have to run all the time. If you’re making your I’m happy foods…..we’ll all have to run more.” Melanie rolled her eyes, “I just felt inspired to make them...you know they take time and….” Sierra said, “And you’re up, Alpha Enforcer boy.” Melanie was still talking when I popped over to kiss her. I snapped everything clean. Sierra snorted, “He’s a fast learner.” Phil smiled, “Yes, my Alpha cousin is a quick study.”
