Zack ( Talking to the Shaman)

Rory released a short blast of his Alpha aura but my girl didn't even blink.She threw up her tiny hand deflecting it back at him, leaving Rory suffocating in his own aura,classic Alpha defense

move, and Rory didn't even see it coming. Fuck! my baby's awesome.

Before I knew it she reached out and grabbed the chick Rory was sucking face with, pulling her up out of the chair. My girl moved with the speed of an Alpha Warrior ,and in a blink of an eye we were back in the hallway.

My baby girl glared at this Jaylee chic and started yelling things I couldn't believe was coming out of her sweet little mouth. My head was already spinning from the defensive maneuver she used on an Alpha male two years older then her who has trained in combat every since he was ten years old.

I wanted to stop her from uttering such foul stuff but What she was saying was totally true and I guess her friend needed to hear it.

" So I guess you're going to be like Hanna and start sucking all those horny Alpha boys dick. First you're with Owen and now whatever the hell that one's name is." She pointed her tiny finger towards the door in the direction we had left poor Rory sucking for air. Stopping for just a second she took a deep breath but she wasn't done yet.

"Have you not listened to what Peyton calls girls like that. Is that what you want people to think about you?" She yelled at her friend who glared furiously back at her. Damn my baby girl sure is a little firecracker when she gets riled up.

I sure hope I'm never at the receiving end of her temper. Moon goddess help me if I ever am. And just when I thought this was over the little brown headed girl puts her hands on her hips and yelled back at my baby girl.

" There's not a damn thing wrong with what I'm doing. I'm not Owen's girlfriend so there's no reason I can't enjoy Rory's company tonight. And for your information all I was doing was dancing with Rory until we set down to take a break and that's when you so rudely interrupted us." The brown headed girl shouted throwing her hands in the air.

"Jaylee I'm worried about you,do you like that guy now. Just two nights ago you were all about Owen. What the hell has gotten into you, you're acting like all those girls at school who chase after Peyton." The little brown headed chick rolled her eyes and spouted out some off the wall bullshit.

"Andie do you really not see it, those boys are mega hot. Don't tell me you're blind just because you have a soulmate mate now."

It took me a minute to figure out what was happening to this little Jaylee chick. Because Andie's so worried about her little friend I guess I should tell her what those young Alpha's are doing.

"Jaylee, l know this is none of my business but I can tell you why you're so drawn to those guys in there." This little chick glanced up at me schooling her expression,and waited patiently for me to speak . The fire in her eyes that was there a moment ago when she was shouting at my baby girl was extinguished like she was never mad in the first place. What the Fuck!

" Andie is right you need to be careful not to let those Young Alpha's play with your emotions. Their releasing pheromones Alpha males can do it at will. All they have to do is get close to you and you're like putty in their hands. That combined with the fact she wolves are naturally drawn to powerful males makes it child's play for them. If you don't believe me just take a moment to examine the facts. From what I have gathered so far from yours and Andie's conversation you're not attracted to Andie's brother. However a lot of other girls at your school are , so I'm just guessing here that Andie's brother is a fairly good looking guy. Tall, muscular, and if I remember correctly blue eyes, and black hair , from a pure Alpha blood line but you're not attracted to him at all. Just think about why that is." I shrugged my shoulders leaving her wondering for a moment before offering her a little more advice.

" If you really want to attract one of those Young Alpha's attention be polite and courteous but if you feel like touching them, don't. Alpha males want a challenge, they like to reach for what is just out of their grasp. Sure they will take what is available the easy chicks that fall all over them. But once they have them,there done the thrill is gone. Then they move on to the next girl, you have seen it with your own eyes. What I'm saying is make them work for it, did Rory offer you his phone number or act like in any way that he wanted to see you again after tonight. Did he ask you to have breakfast with him in the morning or to hang out with him tomorrow. Don't let him touch you again until he expresses an interest in you. That will make you stand out among the rest. Now smile you're a pretty girl,know your self worth and let's go enjoy the dance.

I grabbed my girls hand and headed back inside the ballroom. We took a seat at a table close to the center of the room so that my girl could get a good view of how everything was set up. I spotted Rory back in the corner already in a lip lock with a little blonde chick that was crawling all over his pheromone releasing ass.

After setting down it wasn't long before a young beta with sharp green eyes came over and ask Jaylee for a dance. Betas are no joke their second in command for a reason, their strong, confident guys and yes their ass can release pheromones too.

I nodded at Jaylee to go ahead with a little warring " Stay diligent and have fun."

Grabbing my girls hand I lead her to the dance floor, and as expected from an Alpha female she's a great dancer. All Alpha females take dance classes at an early age it's expected of them to be beautiful and graceful.

All Alpha's hope there daughters mate is an Alpha also.Someone that can protect her and offer the same lifestyle that he has given her. It also keeps the Alpha blood line clean and strong. Both of my parents have an Alpha blood line and so does Andie's. I'm sure if Andie wasn't under age both our parents would be over joyed about us being soulmates. However as it is everyone seems to be a bit tense, especially her mother who looks at me like I'm a pervert. Which I think is hilarious, because if Andie was eighteen and I was twenty two her mother would be ordering Andie a wedding gown already.

Andie and I dance to a couple more songs before we set back down. Jaylee must have switched dance partners after the first dance. She was now with Young Alpha Aiden.

Aiden's father is Alpha of a large pack in Texas. His family is also in the oil industry, lately I have been helping his father improve his refining techniques. I give Aiden a nod and stuck out my hand for a friendly hand shake.

" Aiden nice to see you, I'm glad you could make it here. I hope you're adjusting to the weather okay."

"It's a bit cold for my taste, but if you don't mind I'd like to take my wolf out for a little run tomorrow . I'm sure he would love it. He's always panting and complaining about the heat in Texas."

" I don't mind a bit, I'll notify my border patrol that you'll be out in your wolf form so they don't get all worked up over another Alpha wolf alone in the woods."

"Actually I was hoping Jaylee would go with me."

" That's no problem if she wants to go. Jaylee if you decide to go on the run just look for the red barrels scattered through the woods. They have sweatsuits in them so that you can cover yourself after changing back into human form."

After I reminded Jaylee to cover herself my girl glanced over at her friend and shifted in her seat. I could tell through the bond she wasn't thrilled about the idea of Jaylee being naked in the woods with Aiden. But hay, what could I do, it's not like I'm the girls dad.

I reached out for my girls hand to calm her down a bit and noticed she was grinning mischievously at Jaylee. And before I know it I'm in a situation that I rather not be in.

" That sounds like fun, I'm sure y'all wouldn't mind us going with you."

" Not at all" Aiden agreed with this nonsense.

What the fucking hell, now I have no other choice but to be in wolf form with my underage mate. I'm not really sure how this works. Is Apollo allowed to get frisky with Andie's wolf. I think I need to have a talk with my shaman before we go just to make sure this is acceptable.

I shot out of my chair, grabbed Andie's hand giving Aiden an evasive answer. "We'll get back with you later tonight, I need to check on something."

Thankfully Andie waited until we were out in the hallway way before asking me any questions.

"Where are we going in such a hurry?"

" To talk to the Shaman about our wolves."

" Why?" Her little innocent ass ask.

I fucking groaned stopping briefly to explain as delicately as I could without confusing her more. " Sweetheart my wolf is excited to connect with your wolf. They are mates the same as we are. I'm not sure if it's okay to let them be together."

Her little ass blinked those fucking long eyelashes at me responding with an

" O"

" Yeah, come on the Shaman is in the banquet hall." I murmured, pulling her along with me.

Within a few seconds we were back in the banquet hall. I scanned the crowd spotting the pack Shaman setting at a table with one of the pack healers. I think they're lovers but that's none of my business what they do. I pull Andie in that direction, and before we could make it half way across the room he murmured something to the healer and she left the table. He glanced up at me opening his hand towards the empty chairs beside him. It's like the old guy has some type of internal radar, he always knows when you need to talk with him. The best part is he's always ready with the answer to your question.

" Shaman Hugo, I would like you to meet my mate Andie Hunt."

" Andie this is our Shaman Hugo Landery."

" Nice to meet you Andie, y'all have a seat and tell me what's on your mind."

Shaman Hugo didn't fuck around and got straight down to business. That's what I like the most about the old guy.

" Okay, we have a question about our wolves." I murmured serious as fuck.

The old fucker chuckled " And what makes you say that Zack ,looks like your wolf has done a great job recognizing this beautiful young lady as your mate today."

" That he has Shaman Hugo, but that's not the reason we need your guidance."

The old fucker nodded " I see, then tell me what's on your mind."

I got straight to the point without mincing my words " You see as you're already aware of Andie's not of age and I'm not sure if our wolves should meet yet."

The old fuck laughed again he pinched his bottom lip between his fingers like he was thinking hard about something. Which frankly made me kinda nervous.

" Hum, Well your wolf is actually a spirit that guides you through life it's physical from is for protection. And I guess I'm right that Andie's wolf hasn't acknowledged that you are her mate yet."

" That's right"

" Okay that's her way of protecting Andie. There's no telling how she will interact with your wolf but what ever she does she won't break the bond. Even though she hasn't told Andie you are her mate she already knows .Actually she has mated with your wolf since the beginning of time. I'm sure she will be excited to see him again, but I'm not sure if she will let him mate her yet. However if she does it will be perfectly fine because she would never do anything to harm Andie."
