I’m the one who will be teaching your mate how to control her powers. And if you don’t want to end up dumber than you already are, I suggest you watch how you speak to me.”
“Careful Stilts. You try to touch Sion and you will invoke the beast within. And she can’t control her powers right now.” Demetri chuckled and I noticed Stilts looking at me nervously nodding his head.
“True… she is the only one I have to fear here.”
Stilts said with a small shrug.
“So, what are you exactly?” Denny asked, and I looked at Stilts curiously since I wanted to know as well. I knew he was part gnome but what else?
“So what are you exactly? Surely, you aren’t the alpha of a pack, right? Say it isn’t so.” Stilts had a cheeky mouth that the wolves didn’t appreciate.
Though l could see the smirk from Odel. She was enjoying this.
“Careful pixie,” Jude growled, stepping forward. Stilts clicked his tongue and smirked at Jude.
“I’ve known kittens with a scarier bark than that.”
“You may be a friend, but that doesn’t mean a lesson can’t be taught,” Jude growled and I saw the gnomes’ eyes flash green.
“Awe the wee pup is barely paper-trained and he thinks he can teach me something. Please, I eagerly await your lesson.’
“Don’t,” Demetri said in a commanding tone. I watched as he looked down at Stilts with a frown.
Why do you have to provoke them like that? You’ve been around Shiva for too long. Look, you can’t win in a battle against him.” He was now looking up at Jude, who snorted, looking offended. “No regular werewolf could ever win against him. The truth is he is a powerful mixture. Two ancient powers joining as a hybrid bomb. He is a part gnome and part leprechaun. That little cane he holds has enough magic in it to knock us all unconscious. Except for Clover.” Oh, part leprechaun! Okay, that made a lot of sense.
“Clover.. you are that powerful?” Denny asked and I shrugged.
“That is what they tell me,” I admitted uncomfortably. After all, it was me being a sheya that was an issue for the Sulfur pack before. I guess a part of me still felt like I had the Sulfur pack’s judgment on my shoulders. There was this uncomfortable part inside of me that hated thinking about the Sulfur pack because remember the night I was attacked. Denny was staring at me and then a small smile reached his l!ps.
“We have really missed you.” He said softly and Sion scoffed, noticeably curling his fingers into my side.
“What? You don’t think we missed her?”
Denny looked up at Sion with a puzzled look. He stared at Sion for a moment before he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. “Is there some sort of problem?”
A dark chuckle came from Sion as his eyes snapped to Denny’s. “Yeah, there is.”
“Let’s hear it.” Jude glared at Sion, moving closer to Denny.
“I can’t respect an alpha who has no control over his pack.” A powerful aura flowed from Sion, and I could feel his muscles bulging next to me.
“And what does that mean?” Jude asked angrily, as Denny remained quiet with a more solemn face.
“How do members of your own pack attack another member?” Sion growled.
“The pack viewed her as an outsider” Jude tried to defend Denny, but Sion scoffed loudly.
“The alpha brought her into the pack. She is no longer an outsider at that point. Do your pack members know more about protecting a pack than their alpha? I doubt that is the case, so that means they don’t have enough faith in their alpha to respect his decisions.”
“But-” Jude objected again, and Sion snarled at him angrily.
“My mate was attacked! Your pack tried to kill her,” He looked at Denny with a dark icy glare.” Where is the discipline? What happened to the pack members who attacked her?”
“I didn’t tell them the names,” I looked up at Sion as I chewed on my inner bottom l!p. His eyes met with mine and he smiled. I thought he was losing control, but he seemed very aware of his actions. He reached down and cupped my cheek with his hand, caressing my face with his thumb.
“My love, do you think that matters? If members of my pack attacked you and you refused to give me the names I would find out on my own.”
“And how would you go about that?” Jude was getting angry and defensive on his alpha’s behalf, but Denny stood there quietly taking it all in.
“Because I am an alpha!” Sion jerked his head to glare at Jude before his calm eyes met with mine again. Not once showing any of his aggression toward me. “Because…” His fingers trailed down softly brushing my neck, sending tingling waves over me. “As an alpha I would have questioned every pack member until they gave me names. And if not willingly, I would have ordered the truth.”
“Says the alpha who doesn’t have a pack-“
Jude began, but it was Denny who growled this time.
“Enough Jude!” Denny barked. “Sion’s pack is being controlled, it isn’t the same at all. On top of that, he chose Clover over his pack. He left his pack.” His eyes came to find mine and they softened “I’m so sorry Clover…”
“Denny no its-“
“It isn’t okay. Your mate is right. As an alpha, I have to do better. I should have done better. It kills me… it haunts me what was done to you and what makes it worse is it was my fault. I should have been the type of leader my pack wouldn’t have betrayed.” I watched as his hands began to tremble; it was so hard to watch this. I hated it. I never blamed Denny and I didn’t want to. “You should have been safe.”
I stepped away from Sion’s side and walked up to Denny. I took his hands and looked up at him with eyes filling with water that threatened to spill.
“You will be a great alpha Denny because you care. You will be a better alpha than your father.”
“I have to do better. Clover, the truth is, as alpha, what I say should go. If I said you were my ate.. that should have been good enough. We know it wouldn’t have been. And that is a problem one that I am going to work on. I’m happy for you, you found the one who was meant for you.”
I can’t imagine how hard that was on him to admit, out loud, in front of everyone. Those qualities are exactly why I know he will be a great alpha one day. He might need to do an overhaul of the pack, but he can do it.
