Alpha's Playmate

Judgement and Unification

Alpha Nicklaus Wolff of the Blood Moon pack proudly dragged his prisoner out of the tactical jeep and through the packhouse to the courtyard. Alpha Ponds' bloodied and bruised face showed that his ride to Blood Moon territory had been anything but cordial. He visibly flinched when Nicklaus reached for him. His hands were still bound tightly behind his back as he was dragged unceremoniously towards a post in the center of the courtyard. When he saw the chains, he began to struggle and try to dislodge himself from Alpha Wolff's grip.

"Be still, or I'll rip your throat out right here," Nicklaus told him. "How dare you think you could attack me and get away with it?" Nicklaus told him loudly. He released his hands long enough to reattach them above his head to the post, and then he bound his legs as well. "You will pay dearly, publically, and in front of your own pack for your mistake."

Alpha Ponds stared daggers at Nicklaus. "It is a shame me people failed to dispatch you and your w***e," he spit at Nick.

Nicklaus' wolf raged to the surface at the insult. His teeth elongated, and his claws extended from his hands that had morphed. He swiped them across Damian's face, leaving a wide trek of open wounds and blood pouring out. Ponds' bloodcurdling screams rang around the courtyard, echoing off of the walls and shocking the pack members nearby.

"How dare you insult her!" Nickalus raged, barely containing his wolf from gutting him like a fish. Then he heard his Beta invade his head. Jared knew better than to go near the Alpha in such a state, but he knew that Nick wanted him alive to serve as a public example of how treason would be dealt with.

"Nick, I know it's hard, but I know you have plans beyond killing him right here, right now." Jared quietly appealed to the man beyond the wolf. "You can have your revenge, but I know you are smarter than this. We need him to serve as an example." He watched Nick visibly calm, his claws and fangs retract.

"Thank you, Beta," he turned abruptly and forced himself to walk away. "See to his wounds. We can't have him dying before we are ready."

"Certainly, Alpha," Jared responded and quickly ordered for medical to come.

Nicklaus swiftly made his way back to the hospital to check up on Haven. Thoughts of her safety and a possible retaliation from Ponds' pack circled through his head. He mind-linked Jared to have his warriors to take up protocol for a possible attack. He walked stormily through the hospital corridors and people scrambled out of his way and when he reached her room, he barged inside without knocking. Relief filled his raging posture when he saw her awake and sitting up.

"Haven," he exclaimed, rushing over to her. She started to cry at the sight of him, and he quickly swiped at his own tear that threatened to ruin his reputation as a big, bad wolf.

"Alpha, I was so worried," Haven breathed at him, letting her tears of relief fall without shame. When he approached her she quickly clung to him, pressing her head towards him, listening to his chest vibrate with the hum of his affection. A nurse walked in suddenly and his disproving growl led her to swiftly leave the room. They stayed like that for hours, the Alpha not letting anyone enter, his protective nature taking over. Finally, Jared had to be called to come deal with the situation so the doctors and nurses could continue to care for her properly.

"Hey man," Jared poked his head into the room. Alpha growled menacingly. "You don't mean that." He said and slid into the room carefully. Alpha tracked his movements with his eyes. It was like he was registering everyone as a threat. "Hey, it's me man, Jared, your Beta. Haven, you may have to let him know it's OK," he said carefully, not to induce any reaction from Nicklaus. He stepped closer and Nick shifted to meet his approach.

"Alpha, it's Jared, he wouldn't hurt me," Haven tried to reason with him and placed her hand on his arm gently. Jared watched the black color drain from Nicklaus' eyes and his bold blue return.

"Hey there, Nick. The nurses need to come check on her. Is that ok? Just women, OK?" he asked. Nick turned to Haven and looked into her violet eyes for approval. Only when she nodded did he give in.

"Ok. Just women, though." He agreed and took a seat next to the bed, still unwilling to leave the room.

"I saw to it that Ponds' wounds were administered care, and I moved our men into formation to ward off any impending attack," he reported, business as usual to try and snap Nick back to his senses. This girl must be the real deal, he thought. The Alpha blinked again to clear his vision.

"Very good, brother, thank you," he responded.

"Do you have a plan for the "example" and unification of Ponds' pack?" Jared asked as he leaned against the medical cabinet throwing his arms across his wide chest in a cross. The nurse that entered the room seemed to be visibally distracted by his stance and presence.

" Are you inept?" Alpha referred to her.

"No, Alpha, apologies," she hurried to reply.

"If you want to f**k my Beta, by all means, however, see to it that you care for my, my, Haven appropriately with all of your attention, or I'll have you flogged." He told her scathingly. She blushed under his reprise.

"Apologies, Alpha, of course," she hurried to get to Haven's side with one last longing glance at Jared. Alpha huffed.

"It seems your presence here may not be altogether required anymore, Jared, so that these nurses can give their full attention to Haven," Alpha ordered.

"Certainly, Alpha, as you wish," he all but laughed. He sauntered over behind the nurse to whisper in her ear as he gave Nick a wink. "I'll see you later?" He asked, his question met with a nod and a giggle.

"Out," Nick ordered.

"Going," Jared scurried from the room laughing. Nick walked over to Haven and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"I have to see to some things, but I'll be back, ok?" he asked.

"You don't need my permission, Alpha. Thank you for everything," she replied, a bit embarrassed at his seeming submission to her.

" I will be back ,and I will want a full report about her recovery," he told the nurse.

"Yes, Alpha." the nurse responded quickly.

Later that night, after plans had been discussed on how to handle their growing situation, the Alpha ordered Haven moved to his room and to be cared for there, as her recovery only required rest and recouperation from then on. She slept peacefully in his bed while he watched and guards waited outside their door all night. Jared, himself and the counsel had met to discuss plans for moving forward concerning how to deal with Alpha Ponds' and his pack integration. It was decided that he would be kept out publicly awaiting a tribunal that would be held as soon as Haven was well enough. His previous pack would be assessed in the meantime to weed out anyone who still showed loyalty and a threat to Blood Moon. In the meantime, Ponds would receive daily flogging in humiliation and punishment before his final sentence, which was certainly death. Nicklaus wanted to make sure he suffered as much as possible before granting him that mercy.

Meanwhile, that night Jared made good on his promise to a certain infatuated nurse.

"What is your name?" He asked her as he pressed himself against her. They were out behind the packhouse in the woods. "It seems only right that I know your name before I f**k you silly," he told her brazenly.

"Melony," she answered shyly, trying to look toward the ground but physically failing to look past his toned abs.

"You like what you see?" he teased her. He gently caressed the side of her arm with his hand, sending goosebumps along her skin.
