He stops and really looks at her. “You’re a fucking alpha. What the fuck are you doing this close to my pack?” Sunny holds her hand up so Jess does not snap at him saying “We are on our way to the tournament. We did not know that we were close to your pack lands. We are not here to cause trouble. Nor have we done anything to warrant you growling at us right after you show up.” He glares at Sunny and says to Jess “You let this knife ear talk for you.” As he finishes the sentence he is put into the tree across from the fire. He tries to move and finds that he is pinned by Jess whose eyes have gone pitch black with alpha rage. She says “If you want to leave here alive you will apologise to her for that comment. Then you will keep you fucking mouth shut or I will do that for you. Do you understand me?” The beta and delta went to move only to find that they were being held in place. The beta by Zack who was pulling the arms hard behind his back and the delta was held by Annoce who had a silver dagger to the throat.
The alpha held his hand up to let them know to stay where they are and not to fight. Angor didn’t move but had David’s hand on his shoulder holding him in place. Efren looks at him and says “What the fuck did you get me into?” Angor sighs and says “I warned you to play nice. That there is an alpha and a beta here. I also told you how they took out the two dragon shifters, but you did not listen. How is this any of my fault? I gave you the warnings and told you not to come if you would not keep a head on your shoulders. Luna Summer would not be happy to see how you are acting. So leave me out of it.”
There is a laugh that can be heard from beside the wagon. “You are right, Angor. I am not happy with how he is acting. However I do not wish to see my mate dead. My name is Summer of Whitesnow. Please Jess of Bloodvain let the dumb ass go. I will make sure he behaves and apologises for what he said about the half elf.” Jess looks over at Summer and smiles softly. “Long time since I last saw you. How the hell did you end up with this shitting flea bag?’ She lets him drop to the ground and goes over to her old friend. They hug and laugh at the fact Jess is stronger than Summer’s mate.
Growling he gets up and tries to go at Jess only to find that Sunny has him at crossbow point. Smiling, she says, “What were you saying about me? I would love to hear it again.” He sniffs the air and knows that the bolt is silver laced. “Well aren’t you full of surprises? How long have you had those bolts hidden? They are dwarven if I am not mistaken.” She laughs and smiles. “They were made but last week with my help. So they not only have silver in them but also wolfsbane. They have not been hidden at all. We made them for sale at the tournament. Some people find them useful when dealing with your kin.”, she snarls at him.
Summer laughs and looks him in the eye. “If you wish to come closer to me or even Jess you will need to get off your high horse and apologise to her. I will not stop her from shooting you. She has every right as for what you said about her. In our pack that would mean a fair fight. Seeing as how she is half elf and you are a werewolf she has done what she thinks to make it a fair fight. As I see it well she made herself able to take your ass down and sometimes I wish others would do the same.” He growls at his mate and Sunny takes a step closer. “If you think you can come into my turf and start shit you have another thing coming. I do not deal with males who think they are better than a female simply because they have a dick and balls betwixt their legs. You can ask my father about how I have taken down men bigger than you.”
David laughs and nods his head as she says this. Smiling David says, “That she has. Be it wolf, werewolf, weretiger, or dragon shifter. So I would be very nice to her if I were you mutt.” Summer shakes her head and looks at Jess, “How did you end up with this group of species? I mean most of our kind tend to keep to themselves. What happened to your pack?”
Jess sighs, “Well the pack is no more. We were attacked by a group of rogers. They number so large that I was lucky enough to be found by Zack. He put me over his shoulder and took me from our lands. He had been the beta of that pack. They wanted lands and were not above slaughtering a whole pack to get it.” Zack looks at her and sighs before saying, “I could not follow someone who would kill pregnant women nor children not old enough to fight. Seeing as how you were so wounded I could not just let you die. I felt the need to save you.”
Jess smiles softly at him and nods, “I know Zack. I know and I thank the gods and goddess that you did what you did. My pack was all slaughtered. I was the only one left alive. That alpha knew I was meant to be the next alpha of my pack and wanted me to suffer losing everyone before ending my life. Zack helped me heal from my wounds and then we headed as far from those lands as we could run. We ended up in a town called Silverville. This is where we met with Sunny. I was looking for a new blade since I did not have any of mine. As the days went by we started to take work clearing out monsters and other things for the town. We ended up meeting everyone over the months we spent there.” Summer nods her head and looks at her mate, “Well are you ready to behave or not?” He nods his head yes after hearing how that pack had just vanished and a new pack had their lands.

“I am sorry for calling you a knife ear but I have never had a good meeting with an elf or half elf. They have either wanted my pelt for their walls or they wanted to use me as an attraction for the humans to see that there are other things out there that they do not know of.” Sunny nods her head and lowers the crossbow before stepping back. Annoce lets go of the delta at the same time as Zack letting the beta go. They both step back but watch them closely.
They look at their Luna and she says, “Take the egg back to your mate Ram. She will be very pleased to have her or him back. Nicoles heads back with him and make sure nothing happens to him or the egg.” Ram nods thankful and with great care takes the egg before heading back to his mate with the beta in tow. After they leave Summer looks at her mate and sighs. “You need to judge people by how they act, not what has happened in the past. I understand that it is hard. However, you need to do better. You are the Alpha of our pack and acting like a fucking child or worse is not going to be tolerated and you know this.” He lowers his head and nods. “I know love. I will do better. It is just harder than I thought this to be, especially when I have not seen one of her kind in many a year.”
Sunny watches him from Annoces arms. She looks up and smiles at him. “Well what should we do about the dragons problem? We can’t just walk away knowing that someone is doing this.” David sighs and nods before saying, “Well we will still go to the tournament but after we are done I think it would be best if we help them with this. I can talk with the dwarfs I know and see if they have heard anything.”Sunny nods and thinks, “We should also keep our eyes open for oddities there as well. That way if there is something amiss there we will see and get a lead.”
Summer and Efren look at one another. “What do you mean help? Most dragons do not want this know.” Efren says. Sunny sighs, “Well since we already know and have returned one of the eggs. I do not think they will mind if we help.” Summer nods, “Maybe but we will need to ask them if they are alright with this. This is up to them whether they wish for help or not. Please understand that they are very particular on the help they will take. The only reason we know about this is because of Ram being a mate to one. Otherwise they would not want any werewolf to know that they had lost eggs. It would start a mass war.”
Jess nods and sighs, “You are right when you say that. If a pack knew what was going on they would become allies with even the most hated packs to take out the dragons. It is a good thing that it was our group to have found that egg and not a pack member of one of the other packs.”
Efren nods in agreement. “You are very right that we lucked out and it was this group. There is a pack out by where you live that would love to take out all of the dragons. Do you know of the pack I speak of Jess?” “If you mean that worthless pack called Moonview? I and Zack took them out. They would not leave us alone. We were not on their land in fact we were rather far from it. They were trying to take the town over.” Sunny nods, “I remember when you guys showed up and helped get rid of them. They had been attacking the town trying to either turn or kill everyone in it. That was a few years ago now.”
Summer and Efren look confused, “What do you mean that pack is gone? I met with their Alpha three days ago. That is not possible that the whole pack is gone.” Jess looks at Zack and growls softly, “Well then it is time to make sure that pack is either under new management or dead. I do not care one way or the other but they will be taken care of. If it is the same Alpha that it was, they are dead. He was the cause of all the town's problems.”
Sunny thinks for a bit, “If you just met with him then would he be against meeting again so soon?” Efren smiles showing his fangs, “No I had given him a few things that he needed to think over. I will be setting a meeting with him in the next few days. Does that give you the time you need for what you are already planning?” “It lasts all week. We are done with the selling of goods in the first two days. Most people want dwarven goods. Seeing that we are one of the only options, it works out well for us.” Sunny says with a smile. Efren laughs, “I would say I am surprised by that but I know how hard it is to get dwarven anything this far from the mountains.”
“Well it is almost morning. I for one am going to get some sleep. We have a bit of a road ahead of us.” Sunny says as she pulls Annoce behind her. David laughs softly, “I understand my dear. Sleep well. I will take the rest of the watch with the little shit.” They all laugh except Latsol who just groans at that.
As the sun rises David whistles to wake everyone up. Summer and Efren had left an hour before. They wanted to make sure this group was safe. As the group wakes and gathers everything up David gets the wagon and horses ready. Once they were ready they started the final leg of the journey. Near sunset they walked into the town of Williowwind.
