Don't touch what's mine

*Calypso*
"Cal."
"Calllll"
"Calypso."
"Calypso Ellwood."
I suddenly blinked my eyes and turned towards the person calling me. Wyatt had pulled me from my trance brought about by the sudden arrival of my perfect mate.
"Cal," Wyatt placed his hand on my shoulder, a physical touch to bring my full focus to him. Suddenly a ferocious growl ripped through the room, causing all the alphas to wince. Wyatt, as a Beta, well he would have reacted by submitting to the angry alpha if he hadn't been ripped away from me and help against the wall.
My heart stilled as I saw the scene in front of me.
Cain had his hand wrapped around Wyatt's throat, his claws out and slowly sinking into his flesh. His muscular arms holding the young beta a foot off the ground were rippling, thick black fur growing along them. His canines were elongating into a deadly snarl and the room vibrated with his growls. Cain was releasing his full alpha aura and it was horrifying the power and fury emitting from him.
Alpha Zane approached the two slowly. I was frozen watching Wyatt's face grow dark and red, his lips swelling, his eyes frantically dashing around. He was scratching at Cain's hand, kicking, trying anything to get the alpha to stop strangling him.
"Cain, you have to calm down, " Zane quietly whispered, his hands up to show no threat. Instead he was only met with a vicious snarl in his directions, Cain's eyes flickering between him and his wolf.
"Calypso you have to calm him down!" Liam whisper yelled in my direction, his eyes never leaving Cain as the tension in the room thickened.
I gulped as my heart at this moment choose to begin beating again, frantically at that. I was trained in combat and war strategies, in how to lead a pack and keep peace amongst pack members, not with a mate. I had no experience here. I did not know what to do.
Keeping my eyes off Wyatt and focusing everything on Cain I slowly approached him. I reached out to touch him and once my fingers landed on him large bicep he shivered underneath me. His snarling died down as I stroked down his arm but his breathing remained heavy, the beast within just beneath the surface.
"I'm yours Cain," I whispered as I stepped even closer.
I placed a small kiss on his shoulder as I ran my fingers up his arm towards his hand. I slowly released each finger from around Wyatt's neck, claws slowly retracting. Suddenly without warning I was wrapped in arms, the warmth and sparks telling me it was my mate.
I felt Cain sniff my neck, taking in my scent to calm him, as I watched Kane help Wyatt off the ground where he had been dropped. His neck had already stopped bleeding and face was slowly returning to normal. I breathed a sigh of relief and refocused myself on my mate once again.
"You are mine," Cain declared with a power and authority I could not deny, even if I wanted to, "Say it Calypso."
"I am yours," was my hushed response as he placed a kiss on my neck, the place where he would leave his mark, and it send sparks throughout my body.
As I revelled in the feeling, I noticed that Cain had turned once again towards Wyatt, his arms still wrapped around me tightly, offering no chance to move away from him.
"She. Is. Mine."
He punctuated each word with a quick snarl as Wyatt showed his head in submission. However he maintained eye contact with me.
"Do not touch what is mine beta." Cain practically spat the word beta as if he was lower than us. Which, in a way he was, but I had never been raised in that view. All wolves were equal, were given the same priority, care and love. However, I said nothing.
Wyatt's eyes never left mine as Cain turned and pulled me out of the room. And all they showed was disappointment, while all I felt was guilt.
