*Wolf POV*
I've been stuck in wolf form for nearly twenty years, the council turned me rogue then trapped me alone. I slowly went mad only having Atticus to speak to, we were starved, beaten and tested on like lab rats. Right when I was going to testify on Alpha Noah's behalf, the Obsidian pack attacked. The timing was just too perfect for it to be coincidental, and after years of torment I've learned I was right.
Atticus protected me, taking the brunt of the beatings and blocked me out when things went to far. I was surprised when he accepted Akela as his alpha, sure she had a potent aura but she is young to be an alpha. I felt this fierce need to protect Jessy from anything and everything, not only as my alpha but there was more to it. I never felt this way to any Alpha, the only one I've ever felt this for was for my mate.
