"Blake, what the hell?"I said.
"Shhhh, you dont want to wake Ronna,"he said quietly
I looked down and I realized that Blake was right and she hadnt woken when blake came in.
"You are the only wolf that seems to be able to sense when im around."He whispered.
"Here, lets go out in the other room where we don't have to whisper."
He nodded and paced out of the room. I rose slowly so I wouldn't wake Ronna. She whimpered softly as i moved. I smiled down at her and touched her side with my nose and it seems to calm her.
As i exited the bedroom the first thing I saw was Garret tied up in the center of the room.
"Did he cause you any problems?"I asked.
"Of course not, no one ever gives me any problems."
"Good, is he unconscious?"
"No, he is listening to ever word we say, isn't that right Garret."
The tied up bundle groaned.
I smiled "You rough him up a bit?"
He gave one of his wicked smiles "You bet."
"Oh good, untie him please."
"So polite,Ronna must really be getting to you, not sure I like it,"he said as he carefully began untieing his special knots.
"Whatever, and how the hell do you tie knots, Blake?!"
"Sorry, can't tell you all my secrets, and there." he said as he released Garret.
"Garret, get up you ugly piece of shit,"I barked at him,"or ill have Blake help you up."
He spoke softly as he struggled to his feet.
"I should have known you wouldnt just let me just walk away with most of the pack."
"Damn straight," I said,"I understand why you did it believe me, but im trying to find a way to get the humans lay off our species with out getting all of killed in the process."
"You say that but you dont do shit!"He yelled.
Blake swatted his muzzle. "Dont be disrespectful," he said,"and keep your voice down, there are ladies sleeping."
"Garret, you should have been patient,"I whispered close to his ear," cause now your gonna die for your little stunt, as an example to the rest of the newcomers so nothing like this will happen again."
His eyes widened and out of the corner of my eye I saw Blake smile.
I turned to him and said "Take him a ways a way and dispose of the body."
"Wow, wow, wow, isn't this maybe a little drastic?!" Garret said voice rising.
I turned and gave him a stony, merciless face
"You said it yourself, you tried to steal my pack, that is like a challenge to my authority and by pack law I must kill you or drive you out and i don't like you, so your going to die."
I turned and started back toward the bedroom. As an afterthought I asked "Blake is everyone that went with him assembled outside?"
"Yes, I had them wait for you."
They can wait a little longer, I thought
"Please you cant do this to me, ill do anything!"
Garret yelled.
Blake gave him a vicious blow to the side of the head "I told you once to be quiet and this will be the last time or ill make you death very slow and painful.
"The weak always beg in the end."
And with that I entered the bedroom to find Ronna staring at me with wide unbelieving eyes.



"Ronna..."
"I cant believe you just sentenced that poor man to Blake's wrath."
"Ronna," I took a deep breath,"im not going to act like the guilty party here. I made the decision to give him to Blake because I had to make myself look viscous and brutal to the rest of the pack because there are to many that would up and challenge me for my position."
"Isn't there anything else you could have done." she asked with tears in her eyes.
"No."
"Alright, but why Blake, you know how evil that wolf is. Why couldnt you have you Beta do it.
Im smiled at her.
She is so tender-hearted I thought.
"Jake is too young to kill someone, sure hes a good fighter but hes not ready to kill."
"Please,"I said as I licked away her tears,"I'd like my mate with me tonight when I confront the pack. Your beauty will at least ensure that the young ones stay loyal."
She smiled at me.
"There you go your so lovely when you smile." I said.
"Ok, ill come with you" she said,"but on one condition."
"Oh, whats that?"
"You kiss me."
And so I did. A deep, long, loving kiss.
