1x1 Not Here & Alpha*

[Alpha*]

"Yes, Galadreel. " is said softly; the words a prompting. "We know about that book Sébastien.." his cheeks color just a little bit, "but uh... let's just say some things aren't quite the er... same.."

He again clears his throat, "I don't know if Jessica can do as I do. Honestly we haven't spoken of it much. Things keep... occurring. " a frown tugs his lips, "I do have to ask that you keep this information to yourself though, I am... new to pack ways and do not think it will be taken well."

His fingers skim the books' cover, "I read it once, when I was about nine. " Is remembered softly, his leg aching. "Anyhow. Shall we?"

[Not here]

His arms crossed over his chest as he was taking in everything Rith was saying. "Alright. I'll keep it under wraps. It would be wise though to get introduced to the pack officially. That would protect you from Luna Rose's wrath. I would be wary of her. She isn't Jessica's actual mother. She was the chosen mate to Jessica's father after her mother died. Im sure shell do everything in her power to control Jessica." He gestured for Rith to follow him. "lets head back to Jess." he suggested and started to lead him back to her room.

"just be careful with jess. her temper isn't good." his head shook quickly then he stopped in his tracks before using his werewolf speed to go to Jessica's room.

She was partially shifted with her claws around an omegas throat. The female was begging for her life while six warriors were on their knees with their head down in submission. Sebastian was having a hard time fighting off the alpha aura that radiated from her. Jessica was growling loudly with her fangs exposed. She had tossed the girl like a rag doll over towards her bed. As she walked over towards the female, her bones were cracking as she slowly shifted into the black wolf.

The omega was crying as she held her arm to her chest, pleading to Jessica to forgive her. Then she called out for Sebastian but he couldn't move from the entrance of the doorway with his own head down.

He nods and follows; but when they arrive his wolf snarls. "Let GO of her, Mate. Now." Is ordered calmly. Rith strides into the bedroom, laying his hand on her chest, he then wraps her in his arms, tightly.

"Out! Now! " Is ordered, "bar the doors!"

The man turns his attention to his mate, voice firm. "Athena. Jessica. Listen to us."

[Not here]

The wolf's head snapped to Rith but she turned away as she started back towards the girl. Once he ordered everyone, the omega ran and narrowly missed the snapping jaws of the wolf. Jessica tried going after the girl with a low growl but immediately was stopped by her mate. She snarled loudly as she started to move away from his hand but he had wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace.

She could hear mechanics in the door as he was closing, causing her head to whip around and just catch a glimpse at the girl. Her hunt denied by her mate. The wolf turned its head towards Rith in a loud growl. She tried shaking him off but his grip was too tight on her. The blues in her eyes were a lot darker than normal, indicating her mind was pure instinct of an animal.

Rith rumbles low in his chest, "are you hungry, mate?" Is questioned, letting her go and carefully stepping away. Moving into the kitchen area he settles on eggs - those and cheese and pre cooked ham. It doesn't take long until he has a very large meal set out for them. All the while he murmmers soothingly, and talks, but then when done cooking he sheds his borrowed sweater and pants and with a whimper turns forms. "Mate." Grumbles Galadreel.

As soon as he let her go, she moved away from him into a corner and shook out her fur. She was furious at him for letting her kill go, even more so that he stopped the wolf. Her ears were still pinned back against her head but she wasn’t growling for the time being. She laid down in the curl, slightly curled up with her head on her paws. After he was done cooking, she waited to be allowed to eat that was until Rith changed over to Galadreel. She was trying to remain mad at him but the defused situation, her mind was starting to stabilize

In a unified voice and a soft growl, she lifted her head and spoke with anger. “You let my kill go. Don’t even think about ‘mate this or mate that.’ She needed to die or be taught respect.” Her body started to rise but still stayed away from him. The blues were slowly changing over to her wolf light blue but even Athena was annoyed with him.

[Alpha*]

"Respect will be earned, mate." Galadreel responds, "too long has those under authority been allowed to be rampant. But hurting them is not the way." As a wolf he speaks better, clearer, "that girl is just a kid. She was taught wrongly, killing her is unjustified. She isn't a threat and when you feel better you'll see I'm right."

He smiles at her, "now, come and eat with me. A full belly will help." He noses the two full plates between them and lays on the cool tile floor, his body easily taking most of the kitchen. "Fear and respect are not the same thing my love. And you are a far better pack leader than your... adopted mother the Luna Rose. " With that he falls silent- the scars in their beautiful winking silver pelt bright and raw.

They hurt immensely.

Galadreel rumbles soothingly, stomach turning from the pain but he says nothing about it. "You are my mate, Athena, as is Jessica, my perfect other half, and I want you to be happy. "

[Not here]

She let out another growl at his respect statement. "you are not right. She came here for my mother, allowing herself in my room while I sleep. Yet, you protect that little girl."

It would be a cold day in hell that she rejected food. Seeming to walk on eggshells, she moved over towards her own plate and quickly scarfed down the food, while in a stance to bounce away if spooked. She did allow him to speak for the being but her ears immediately pinned themselves back when she heard of his talk about her adoptive mother. A loud growl sounded from her as she bared her fangs. "Where did you hear that? She is my mother." Her eyes were fighting against darkening. She caught sight of his wounds and turned her head away, leading herself back into the corner, leaving the plate half empty. The wolf wasn't up for eating anymore.

It was true her mother did die and Rose took the place as luna, which seemed to make her father happy. She learned from a young age to respect her with all the beatings she was given, under the direct order of her father. Sometimes he would even take the opportunity to do so. Though all was forgiven and memories had since faded since being rescued. "Dont speak of things you don't know about."

[Alpha*]

"I know plenty mate, I looked into their minds. But killing her won't keep you safe my love. " Is answered, "believe me when I say I will meet out justice and punishment, you will be safe. "

[Not here]

she huffed loudly at the mention of keeping her safe. "There is something you aren't telling me. I don't know how to feel about that," she spoke truthfully as she got up and disappeared into the closet. Her body reappeared from the shadows in a large black hoodie and grey shorts. The shadows seemed to be swirling behind her, gently touching her skin, begging her to come back into the darkness. Her eyes were still dark, but she seemed to have more control over herself. "I don't like that you interfered. At least not in front of others. It makes me look weak."
