Zack Two Alpha’s hanging out

Last night was a little bit eventful, to say the least .But after dragging Brandy's crazy ass to the dungeon. I came back to find Andie and Xavier both sleeping peacefully. I peeked into the crib just to make sure Xavier looked comfortable. Then headed to my bedroom for another shower.

After getting the dungeon stench out of my hair. I headed back down the hallway to Andie's room stealthy slipping into bed beside her.

Only to be woken up at five o'clock this morning by an Alpha sitting on my chest. He was wearing blue dinosaur pajamas with his bright blue eyes cautiously but curiously scanning my face.

I didn't move, because I didn't want to scare the little guy. Even as young as he is and despite the fact that he can't shift. His Alpha wolf can detect another Alpha. So I just laid still and let him fill his curious little mind with what ever was going through it.

After a few seconds of scanning my face he ask"Who you." in the cutest little demanding tone I think I've ever heard.

" My names Zack and I'm glad that you're awake. There's a lot of people here that want to meet you." I informed,him in a low none threatening voice .

His little eyes then roamed over towards Andie. Then back to mine " What do to Andie?" He demanded. Making me almost roll in laughter from the classic Alpha protectiveness in his tone.

I truly wish I could get my phone and record this conversation. Without scaring him or shifting the mood. Because If there was ever a doubt in anyone's mind that an Alpha wolf is born an Alpha. Then this conversation would prove it without a shadow of a doubt. Oh well there's no way I could reach my phone at the moment. So I swallowed down my disappointment and answered his question.

"Nothing, she's my Luna and she's just sleeping right now." I explained, hoping that he knew what a Luna is.

He knows plenty of them, but he's really young and all the Luna's he knows is kin to him. He may only know them as grandma's and Aunt's not as Luna's or former Luna's. But I threw it out there just in case he does know what it means .

But to my surprise his little suspicious gaze shifted back and forth between me and Andie for a minute. Then he narrowed his eyes at me and ask " You sure?"

Oh fuck, the stern look on his little face right now is just too damn hilarious. I really want to laugh. But instead I held a straight face and answer his question proudly.

"Absolutely sure, Andie's going to help me take care of my pack."I said, reassuringly.

He seemed pleased with my answer, because his little shoulders relaxed. Which I hadn't noticed his posture before because he's so tiny . He was actually holding his shoulders back and puffing out his little chest. It's another classic Alpha trait, an act of defiance in the face of danger. In other words even if we're scared we hold ourselves proud and never let our opponent see it. It's just something that we're born to do . And to see little Xavier do it just proves that we're not taught to be self-asserted that's just the way we are.

Then he turned his little head from side to side sweeping his gaze around the room. While still keeping a watch on me from the corner of his eye. " Where mommy?" He ask,without using his little Alpha werewolf tone. The little guy on my chest at the moment was just a two year old little boy. Not a young Alpha wolf. The shift in his demeanor signifying his wolf doesn't feel like I'm a threat anymore.

"She's with Skyler, are you hungry?" I ask , trying to shift his focus away from his mom. Because I'm one hundred percent certain they're still in bed right now.

And just as I'd hoped mentioning food done the trick. He mumbled "Uh-huh" , nodding his little head.

" Do you want to set over there beside Andie for a minute? I'll get up and we can get you a snack." I ask, still being cautious about scaring him. I know enough about toddlers from being around Reece not to just reach out and grab them.

" Uh-huh" he nodded again . Clumsily climbing off my chest and plopping down on his bottom close to Andie's chest.

After getting out of the bed I turned around to face Xavier .Holding out my arms, and patted my hands together . "Come on,let's go see what we can find." I coaxed , hoping he wouldn't be afraid to come with me.

He hesitated for a moment and looked back at Andie .Then stood up and literally hopped over to where I was standing.

I snatched him up in my arms before he got to close to the edge , praising his jumping skills to keep him calm." Where did you learn to jump so high?"

" Andie" he murmured, pointing his cubby little finger back over my shoulder towards her.

" Wow, I didn't know Andie could jump that high. Do you think she'll teach me how to jump like that?" I ask enthusiastically, just keeping our conversation going until I set him down in front of the mini fridge.

"Don't know " He shrugged his shoulders almost up to his ears,his tiny little arms drawn up close to his side with his palms open.

" I'll ask when she wakes up.But right now let's see what we can find in here ."I suggested. Squatting down beside the little guy. I opened the mini fridge wide enough for him to see inside.

Andie had already put snack size portions in small snack size plastic bags and clipped them together. And believe me, I was thankful for that. I mean like ,who would even think that two peanut butter crackers,six grapes and half of a slice of cheese could ever be considered a snake. That seems crazy to me, but at least I didn't need to worry about cutting anything up or how much to give him.

So I reached into the fridge and brought out a few of the offerings for him to choose from. "Look what I got here buddy," I said , fanning through the tiny plastic bags so that he could see everything inside."I have some gold fish, with kiwi, and a pouch of strawberry yogurt. I also have teddy grahams, some strawberries,and cheese. Now this one looks pretty yummy too. It has blueberry yogurt, peanut butter crackers and some cheese puffs in it. Now this one has cel.."

"Bears" He shouted excitedly. Cutting me off before I could get the word celery out of my mouth.

I chuckled a little, but let's face it. Who in their right mind would choose celery sticks over teddy grahams? " Okie dokie, bears it is."I agreed, laying the teddy graham snack on top of the mini fridge. And tossing the rest back inside. I grabbed a juice box off the door and closed it with my foot.

"Okay bud, Let's get your snack set up over there on the coffee table." I suggested pointing towards the setting area.

Now I'm not really sure if Xavier has mastered the skill to walk yet. If he has, I haven't witnessed it. Because he took off jumping across the room in the same fashion as he did on the bed.

However I do know he has really good manners for a toddler. Because when he reached the coffee table he set down on his knees with his tiny little hands in his lap.And patiently waited for me to get a paper plate off the top of the mini fridge. Dump his snack in the plate ,and poke the straw in the juices box.

Then said " Thank you."before even touching his food.

He was so cute I couldn't help but grin."You're welcome "I replied,taking a seat on the sofa in front him.

Just to take a few minutes to admire the awesome little Alpha in front of me. From what I have seen so far. I can tell he's going to be one of the Alpha's that set the standards in his generation of what an Alpha should be.

He has displayed courageous bravery in the face of a deadly predator and valiant protectiveness over someone he cares about.His instincts are top notch, he complied to my wishes but never submitted.

And believe me there's a difference.

Submission is shoulders rolled forward and head bowed looking directly at your toes. Werewolves are never tought to submit to an Alpha its all instinct like how birds build a nest.

Xavier relaxed his fighting posture when his wolf didn't detect a threat. But he never bowed his head and he kept watching me from the corner of his eye.

Even when I was busing myself with getting his snack set up. His wolf was aware of the unknown predator in the room.That's right I referred to myself as a predator . Because that's the way Xavier's wolf sees me at the moment. And even though I hadn't posed a threat Xavier's wolf stayed vigilant.

Perhaps we do need to work on his table manners though. Before he takes over his pack because right now he's a mess. It makes me wonder how the hell he got four strawberries that were already cut in half. In his hair, on his face, on his hands, down the front of his shirt,and all around his mouth .

No, not even four because there's still half a strawberry on his plate with a teddy graham laying on top of it .While he's using another teddy graham to pound it further inside.

Curiosity getting the better of me I had to ask.

"What you doing there, buddy ?"

"Conbats training" He responded, which I understood to be combat training. From his reply it's obvious that Damien takes Xavier to the training center with him. Which is a good thing, an Alpha is never to young to start learning his responsibilities.

I hummed and leaned closer to see what he had going on down there with those two teddy grahams .Eager to offer my experience and wisdom.

"It looks like that warriors on the strawberry mat has had enough. " I, Pointed out the obvious soggy condition of the teddy graham warrior laying on the strawberry mat. "Maybe you should call a break for those two. Having an injured warrior is something you definitely don't want .If one of your warriors end up in the pack hospital. It could leave a gap in your patrol and elevate the risk for an attack. How about we hit the showers and let thoes two go at it again tomorrow." I suggested,gauging his reaction carefully.

He looked thoughtful for a moment said "K" and wiped his hands on the front of dinosaur pajamas.

I took that as a sign of agreement and stood up beckoning him to follow. " Come on let's get you cleaned up"I Grabbed his bag out of the chair beside us. And once more Xavier hopped along beside me into the bathroom.

Where I filled the bathtub with some warm water and found the bottle of combo shampoo and body wash in his bag . I couldn't resist turning the bottle over to see my girls trade mark .

Then laughed to myself at the name of this particular product. ' Magical Cub Washing Stuff' and of course this one is made from all natural ingredients from the Amazon Rainforest.

There's no way I would expect anything less to give the tiny Alpha in my tub a bath with. So I squeezed some out on a wash cloth and went to work on getting him scrubbed up. While he occupied himself playing with a yellow rubber duck.

Which I found out really quick that the duck actually squirts bath water from its mouth. I just hoped he hadn't peed in the tub yet.And tried stay out of firing range while I finished washing the mashed strawberry out of his hair.

" Okay Bud, we're all done." I said, reaching in to dip him out when I heard a soft voice come from the doorway ask " What are you two doing?"

" Andie" Xavier squealed excitedly.

I chuckled handing over an overly excited Xavier to Andie and answering her question. "Guy stuff, just two Alpha's hanging out."
