Resisting the bond

Jazmine Continued

Once the meeting ended Beta Terra and I escorted the others to their vehicles, saying our goodbyes and waving them off. Now it was time to relax.

"Alpha 50 rogues approaching the North east border. Orders?" A warrior mindlinked me

"Beta Terra, John with me now" I closed the link and sprinted to the border. My bones began popping as I gave control to Katara. Soon I felt the wind ruffling though my fur while my paws smacked against the grass.

As we came to the peak of the hill I spotted the rogues approaching two black trucks approximately 100 yards outside of Coldrose territory. They were almost to the trucks when the doors opened revealing 4 wolves.

Katara charged towards the incoming rogues releasing a cheerful howl. This is the part of being an Alpha that her and I enjoy; the fighting. We approached the battle just as a grey wolf ripped apart a rogue. I hopped on another rogue and rode him around a bit before sinking my claws into the base of his neck. Once he dropped I attacked another rogue that was attempting to sneak up behind a black wolf. Digging my claws into his throat I ripped out is larynx.

Surveying my surroundings, I watched Terra and a brown wolf played catch with a dead rogue; while a red wolf took down the last rogue standing. The grey and black wolves watched T and the brown wolf playing catch as John appeared beside me.

"T, stop playing with the bodies!" She jumped about a foot when my link ran through her head.

"J I think this brown one is my mate."

"How sure are you?"

"Well he smells like roses and morning dew to me. What does he smell like to you and John?"

"Wet dog!" John an and I shouted simultaneously.

John ran into the treeline returning within seconds wearing a pair of shorts and began handing clothes to everybody. T and I slipped behind a tree tossing on the oversized shirts and baggy shorts. When we emerged John and a black haired man were eyeing eachother.

As Terra and I approached the red head spoke first, "What pack do you belong to?!" he demanded locking eyes with John.

"Mate!" Katara chimed in my head.

"what did you just say?" ugh not now. I don't need a stupid mate

"Mate. The red head is our mate. smell him if you dont believe me." I took a deep breath allowing my senses to be filled with lilacs and mint.

"oh god. Katara please no."

"why not?"

"I dont need a man to come in and ruin everything we've done, plus you know wolves go crazy or die when they lose a mate. The pack doesnt need that"

" okay dear focus on and task at hand and we will talk about this later." With that Katara cut me off.

"I only answer to my Alpha, not some outsider," John spat back causing the red head to approach him releasing a warning growl. John just smiled back, "I wouldn't do that. My Alpha doesnt like seeing the pack disrespected in anyway."

The red head chuckled, "I dont see another Alpha out here, so I'm sure I'll be fine." With that he reached for John's throat, but wasn't fast enough. Before he made contact I jumped onto his back, grabbing his throat I slightly extended a couple nails allowing them to draw some blood. The red head froze.

John and Terra erupted in a fit of laughter as they toppled to the ground with tears in their eyes. Those two loved the shocked expression outsiders get when they realise how much they f****d up. Leaning down to the red heads here I began whispering, "An attack on one pack member is an attack on all. Attack my pack again and we will wipe yours from history. I will destroy all that threaten my family no matter the bond. Understood?"

I released him as he began nodding. Terra and John collected themselves before we began. "Now names?"

"What?" the brunette asked

" If I'm going to allow you in my territory my Beta and I need to know who you are," I stated waiting for a response.

"Why would you want us on your territory?" The black haired one questioned.

"Wel if you didnt notice those rogues sliced your tires, probably so you couldnt run, along with that the sun will be setting in a few moments. You wont reach anywhere for help before nightfall and I'm sure you dont want to spend the night outside in the open." raising my eyebrow and stared at the men.

Their eyes fogged over in a mindlink before the blondie spoke up, "My name is Phil. I'm a pack warrior, " the black haired man stepped up, "Im michael pack warrior also," next was the brunette, "my name is Paul I'm the Beta, " finally it was the red heads turn. "I'm Alpha Samuel of the Silvermoon pack."

"Thank you men. This is John my head warrior, my Beta Terra, and I am Alpha J." Their jaws dropped as I finished our introductions.

"Hold on, you're Alpha J?" Phil breathed out

"As in the child Alpha?" Terra growled at Michael's comment startling him

"Michael I assure you I may be a young Alpha, but I am no child," I responded placing a hand on Terras shoulder to calm her.

"Yes of course, sorry I meant no disrespect" he muttered out while Samuel nudged him.

"If youd all follow us we can head back to the pack house. I'll arrange some rooms for the night." With that we turned and began walking to the pack house as I mindlinked Jesse.

"Hey dear could you get four rooms opened up. We had to help some wolves from another pack, so they will be staying the night."

"Yes Alpha, would you like me to have some food prepared for when you return?"

"Is anybody else hungry?" I addressed the group walking with me.

"Depends J, who's cooking?" Terra raised her eyebrow at me

"Jesse, duh" I rolled my eyes in response

"In that case I'm famished" she giggled

"Yes please, Terra is apparently 'famished"

"where are you guys? I can send Joe with the truck."

"That's okay dear, were only about a mile away we can walk it."

"Okay Alpha, food will be ready when yu arrive"

"Thank you Jesse." I cut off the link focusing back on the conversation around me

"So why does it matter who's cooking?" Paul asked nudging Terras arm.

"It doesnt really," She shrugged glancing towards me

"So why ask?"

Terra shrugged again releasing a giggle she smirked at me

"Please tell me," All eyes were on Terra and Paul now as we walked.

"Oh just tell him T" John remarked nudging my shoulder. I looked up and nodded telling her it was okay.

"Okay so anybody that wants to can help in the kitchen at the pack house, that includes ranked members. Well this one time J wanted to do something nice for the kitchen omegas so she woke up super early and snuck into the kitchen to make them breakfast," She paused catching her breath, "I woke up to the smoke alarm going off along with pack members rushing around the halls as if the place was on fire," John giggled remember that morning, "When I got into the kitchen J was sitting at the table pouting while an older omega removed a black lump from the stove. See along with breakfast J had decided to make some rolls, but accidentally put them onto a plastic tray before putting them in the over." T broke into a fit of laughter along with everybody else.

"But that's not the best part," John gasped out, "She wasn't pouting because of the ruined attempt at cooking, she was upset because the omegas insisted on cleaning it up refusing to let her touch anything." They all collapsed on the ground holding their stomachs with tears streaming.

When they collected themselves we started walking again. "I was only 12," I murmured under my breath

"What?!" Samuel shouted making me jump

"what?" I looked at him confused.

"Did you just say you were 12 when that happened?"

"Yea why?" I questioned.

"But Terra said you were the Alpha at that time?" He raised my eyebrow at me

"Yea.. and?" looking from the corner of my eye I saw his confusion. Samuel opened his mouth and closed it like he wanted to say something but decided against it.

The rest of our walk was rather quiet except for Terra and Paul getting to know eachother. As we approached the pack house members greeted us warmly while giving our visitors angry glares. "Why do your pack members look so angry?" Michael asked. "We dont like strangers on our territory," John quickly responded glaring at Samuel.

Jesse greeted us as we entered the house. "Hello guests! My name is Jesse and I am the head omega for Coldrose. Your rooms have been prepared and the buffet is ready if you are hungry." She beamed her 1000 watt smile at the guys before turning to talk upstairs.

"Jesse did you eat dinner yet?" I hollered before she got too far up the stairs she turned and gave me sheepish smile. "Yea that's what I thought," I smirked, "Come on, at least one waffle." She sighed and turned around descending the stairs.

We made our way into the dining area and began piling food onto our plates before we sat down to eat. "So why did the Alpha comand for you to eat with us?" Phil asked Jesse with a curious look.

"She didnt command anything," Jesse stated while forcing a bite of waffle into her mouth.

He looked confused, "but she told you to come eat a waffle and now you're sitting here eating a waffle. How is that not an Alpha command?"

Jesse giggled while shaking her head, "J doesnt use Alpha commands. She may request us to do things, but we are always allowed to say no."

"So why did you listen to her this time? I dont mean to pry just curious," Samuel spoke up.

"A few years ago J found my brother and I in the woods. I was starving while trying to make sure my brother ate enough to survive. She immediately brought us into the pack without a second thought. Since then she wont let me miss even one meal. The Alpha doesnt force me to eat, but she does give me the worse puppydog eyes ever if I refuse." Jesse smiled and looked up at me with admiration in her eyes.

"Wow," Paul breathed out, "I've never met an Alpha so invested in their pack."

"A pack is only as strong as the weakest member," I stated before excusing myself to bed. "Sorry men, but I need to be up early for morning training. Jesse will show you to your rooms when you finish eating," I stopped before walking away, "Oh and men, as I stated when we met, if any of you attack my pack members I will end you." With that I left them to their conversations.
