He goes to pull my arm again and clearly thinks he can overpower me. He must not have really been paying attention to my fighting today. I pull my arm back, but he doesn’t release his hold, just lets me pull him in closer. “See, I knew you couldn’t resist me.”
He says close to my ear, then a low growl rumbles directly behind me. I can feel Oliver’s body heat warming my back.
“T suggest you keep your hands to yourself, Micah, if you value the use of them.”
Oliver’s arm wraps around my waist and pulls my back completely against him. “She said no, hear the rejection, get over yourself and move on.”
He’s still looking directly at Micah, but talking to me, “Come on, the Luna will be looking for her favorite girl.”
A threat was clearly implied here. I could feel the menacing aura coming off of Oliver.
He moves to my side, but doesn’t take his arm off of me as we move down the big staircase to the first floor and on through the kitchen to the back patio.
He doesn’t release me until we get next to the Luna and Alpha and the rest of the guys. He more or less places me between Luna Ava and Sierra and then steps back by Mateo. Based on the dark look that crosses my brother’s face, he was told of what just happened with Micah over their mindlink. A low rumble comes from Cam and Kota on the other side of the Alpha.
Oh, goody they are having a conversation about me and my completely lame situation upstairs Whatever you guys are talking about knock it off.
People are staring. I hope that is the end of it, but that would be wishful thinking.
Someone put their hands on you Sky without your permission and after you told them to back off. Cam says plainly. I didn’t miss the use of my name.
We’ve been through this, it’s not the first time and Oliver did step in before there was a problem. Now stop, your mom and dad look like they want to speak.
“T had better get a full explanation of what that was.”
Sierra says in my ear.
I roll my eyes slightly. “Was it that obvious? Just boys being overprotective.”
Well you did kind of challenge them to pay attention, now you have five bodyguards. And that was more than just being protective, their auras are in full force right now. If they were full leaders everyone would be in submission right now.”
She huffs out in a whisper and I have to fight a smile, it’s not that bad.
Luna Ava clears her throat as she and Alpha Lucas Stand, stopping all conversations.
“We first want to thank Alpha King Reginald and Luna Queen Anne and their son Prince Alexander for joining us this week for Elite Warrior trials. It truly is an honor to be a host pack and I know all of our young trainees have had an amazing time with your warriors. I know they are all excited to put their new knowledge to use. It was also nice to have some friendly neighboring pack training, everyone involved learned a great deal and I wish you all luck in your placements with the Elite Warriors.”
A polite amount of clapping follows.
Alpha Reggie follows up with congratulations to all who participated in the trials, stating his trainers have been left with some tough decisions to make. “
We are also excited to see the young leaders at the training grounds here in a few weeks. Now that I have seen how much they have grown and what they are capable of here on their home turf, I can’t wait to see them challenged again this summer. I may have to rethink some of our strategies seeing your young warriors train.”
He chuckles and everyone else follows suit before Alpha Lucas finishes.
“We are here to not only celebrate the end of the trials and their success, we are celebrating the end of the year, with many of our graduating pack members moving onto great and successful careers and our own future leaders heading into the next phase of their training. With their departure following the mating ball next weekend we want to wish them well and good luck on their journey this summer. And from the sounds of it, they will need all the luck they can get.”
More laughter follows. “Please eat and enjoy yourselves, our pack has much to be thankful for.”
With that, both Alphas sit down and look, relieved maybe, that the formalities are all over. I look around at the crowd milling about. This is what I imagine parties for the guys to be like, people crawling everywhere, standing room only and a constant humm of conversation. The buzz is almost palpable.
It’s a weird sensation and I find myself smiling again for no reason other than I’m included this time.
“Sky, come sit with us.”
Luna Ava calls me over. “We are all dying to hear about the trials. I was so excited to see your wolf out, she is so beautiful and she has definitely gotten stronger since the last time I saw her.”
I moved into the chair she offered me and just smiled at the compliment. I didn’t know what else to say.
My wolf is just purring in my head at being called beautiful and strong. “She has grown since I’ve gotten her. I wasn’t sure if that was normal, or if she still needs to grow since I got her so early. I have meant to ask Doc T in anatomy or maybe Mr. Lyons in history what they think.”
“T don’t know if I have ever heard of a wolf growing after they show up, but maybe you’re right, you got her very young. You are going to be a force when you are fully trained, based on what I have seen over the last two days.”
Alpha Reggie says.
I just smile again. I don’t really know what to do with all of these compliments. Before I have to really come up with anything though, a plate is placed in front of me and Kota kisses the side of my head before sitting down next to me. Another plate is placed next to that and Cam kisses the other side of my head then moves to sit across from me. I I look to my left. “Dakota, what is all of this?”
