Jax:

How stupid am I? The whiskey was obviously kicking in. I forgot the Luna hills pack is very strict on what they put in their bodies. I could hear her stomach growling. Meghan offered her some of her salad which she eagerly gobbled up. Fae alcohol I heard makes you really hungry. I should make sure I have food around for her, since our diet is comprised mostly by meat, cheese, eggs and carbs. Sure, vegetables and fruit are thrown into the mix, but I can't imagine raising animals on our land.

"So what do you normally eat?" She looked up at me as she took another swig of her drink. She was loosening up, she seemed more relaxed. She was still sitting so close to me, our legs were touching. Thor was particularly aware of our bodies touching. It was taking a lot of energy to contain him, but I wasn't about to scare her away. She seemed upset earlier, I don't want a repeat of that.

"Lots of things. I cook all the time. I'm head of the kitchen with Raia, and we handle all the meal planning and meal prepping at the pack house. I also make sure our crops are being planted and harvested at the right times, and Nigel handles the animal raising." I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I never realized how much the Luna hills pack did on their land.

She giggled. "Oh so mister alpha didn't realize we were such hippies huh?" Meghan and Nia giggled together. That's one delicious sounding combo. Both Kyle and I had to shift in our seats.

Meghan chimes in, "it's just a lot different at the moonstone pack." She shook her head, "I'm blown away with how many pounds of meat they have delivered every week."

Nia raised her eyebrows. "Really? For how often alpha Jasper visits my mom, you'd think he'd learn a thing or two." The ladies giggled some more while Kyle and I rolled our eyes. If we weren't in public, we'd excuse them from the room, and throw them over our knees. Remind them to respect our pack. My eyes must be glowing, because Nia was looking at me with a confused, yet curious look. Something about the thought of throwing this woman over my knee was causing Thor to stir and my pants were suddenly unbelievably tight.

"Are you ok?" She asked, while she looked up at me with her sweet smile. This is a face I would never be able to stay no to.

I cleared my throat and leaned in closer, "I was thinking about something completely inappropriate to speak about in public sweetheart."

She narrowed her eyes at me and blushed. Which made me smile. I ran my fingers down her cheek again. The electricity from the touch was still burning on my fingers even after I removed my hand. That electricity is addicting. Nia ran her fingers over the spot I just touched, she must feel it too.

Nia's food was finally delivered and after eating she perked up quite a bit. The girls were giggling excitedly as we headed downstairs to our seats for the magic showcase. Nia had immediately laced her hand in mine as we walked out the door.

I smiled when I looked down at her. She was so beautiful. The way her button nose twitched when she was taking in all the smells of the room. The way her eyes would glitter when she squeezed my hand. The moment we sat down I could hear the whispers in the room. I was being recognized. Damn it. I had no desire to let go of this woman's hand.

"Just Leave with her." Thor growled. "Take her back to your place. Claim her. It can't be that hard for you."

I had to shift in my seat to keep the tightness in my pants from showing. Goddess this woman wasn't going to make life easy on me. I felt like a teenager again, unable to control myself.

Although she had my hand in hers, she still wasn't letting us in. Her wolf however seemed to be floating around in her mind lightly grazing the edges of my thoughts. She was driving my wolf crazy, but she wouldn't enter. She seemed to be waiting for Nia to give her permission, even though she could barrel in anytime she wanted. I have no walls up, except for the cage I kept Thor in. She continued to trace the warrior tattoos on my fingers. Meg and Kyle were busy trying to touch each other as much as possible in this very public setting.

"What do they mean?" She asked without looking up, interrupting my sudden flow of inappropriate thoughts. Thanks Thor. He snickered.

I moved my other hand to the side of her face bringing her eyes to mine, "I like seeing your eyes when you speak to me sweetheart."

She looked up at me, a small whimper leaving her lips. Shit, I wasn't prepared for that beautiful sound. I grew tense for a moment as I felt Thor ram against my mind wanting to mate as soon as possible. I wanted more of those beautiful sounds, soon.

"Soon Thor..."

"Doubtful, you don't have it in you."

"Thor..." I warn again, making him even more on edge.

She's watching my face as I exchange words with Thor. She looks nervous, but she asked again, "What do all these tattoos mean?"

I held up my hand, "They're warrior tattoos. As we complete different parts of our training we earn them. Do you like them?"

"You sound like such a pussy." Thor scoffed.

I growled in my head. "Shut up Thor."

She seemed surprised that I'd even ask, "Of course I do!" She giggled. Damn that sweet sound makes my cock jump nearly every time. I run my finger over her bottom lip, watching her eyelids flutter close for a moment. She reached up and took my hand, kissing a few of the marks, before pushing it away. I honestly don't know how much longer I can go without feeling her lips against mine.

I lean in close, "Well there's more plenty more than what you see here sweetheart."

She cleared her throat and shifted in her seat. I chuckled, sweet little Nia trying to stay composed.

The show got started and the girls were practically jumping out of their seats with excitement. Although this wasn't my kind of showcase, I prefer hand to hand combat or warrior battles, I loved watching Nia 'oh and awe' over all the silly magic acts performing on stage.

We were watching the performances as guests made giant ice sculptures, fire in the shapes of dragons, one woman played the harp and as she did, these golden bubbles flew from the strings. When they popped, the glitter reshaped itself into different animals.

At the very end of the show, the announcer asked if anyone else in the audience had a skill they wanted to share. Meghan reached over and pulled on Nia's arm.

"Come on Nia! Please please please! It's been like forever since we did a showcase together!" Meghan was yelling over the music. Kyle and I exchanged looks.

"Oh my goddess! Meghan! Best idea EVER!" Nia jumped up with excitement and absently minded kissed my cheek before moving down the aisle to the stage. When I growled low in my throat at the suddenly brush on her lips against my skin, she yelled back, "For good luck Jaxson!" she wiggled her eyebrows at me, and continued to the center aisle following on Meghan's heels. I was taken back by her bold move, the Fae wine is working in my favor. Kyle clapped a hand on my shoulder.

"We are a couple of lucky bastards aren't we." We both laughed as we watched our mates head to the stage. It wasn't until she was up there and I had stopped cheering for her that I began to feel what half the men in the room were thinking. They wanted our women. Fuck. Thor began to act up.

I leaned back trying to ignore the eyes lingering over my Nia's gorgeous body. Growling as the lights went down.

Kyle chuckled, "You'll get used to it."

"Like hell I will." I snapped back. Which only made Kyle chuckle.

I watched as the announcer introduced them, "Looks like the Furious Fae Sisters are making a come back! Anyone remember these two?!" I was blown away at all the hands that went up. Wow. Nia is full of surprises. A group of men sitting in front us started yelling a little louder as the girls waved and blew kisses at the audience. My hands balled at my sides. Kyle wasn't doing too well either as I saw his jaw clench as he tried to ignore this group in front of us. When the 'leader' of their little crew started talking, "God damn Nia has really filled out since college. The things I'd do..." I fuckin' lost it. I grabbed the man by the neck, pulling him back against his seat. "You better not finish your sentence." I growled loud enough for everyone in the area to hear but luckily the announcer didn't seem to notice. The man shivered in his seat.

"Fuckin pussy, let's fight him!" Thor roared in my head.

"Nia wouldn't like that Thor...."

"Just pull him outside, really quick, punch him until he's bleeding all over that stupid white sweater he's wearing...."

I growled in my head.

The announcer continued to ramble about what the girls are doing now. Fuck I missed it. Now I really wanted to punch this asshole for his little distraction.

"Well guess what you guys, you are in for a real treat because they agreed to one of their most popular acts and they promise they plan to take it up notch since the last time you saw them here!" the crowd went insane as the announcer left the stage. I watched as the lights went down and  spotlights were placed on the girls.

"Mine.." Thor growled in my head.

I looked over at Kyle who was looking at his phone, He eyes were flashing between golden brown, black and purple.

I used he's newly found Mind-linking skills to try and get his attention.

"Whats wrong?" I yelled into his brain. I saw him flinch. Still not used to a new voice, popping up in his own head.

"We need to get Nia home. The Luna Hills Pack was attacked by a rogue." He looked over at me his eyes were more angry than ever. I looked up at the girls. They were so happy, so carefree. I wanted to let them finish their little act. It was really quite amazing. Nia made throwing stars out of ice and was throwing them at lightening speed at Meghan and she was catching them and melting them with the fire she took from the lighter in her bag. Nia was speeding up sometimes throwing multiple stars at one time. I was surprised how much technique I was seeing on display.

I felt shiver run down my spine as Nia's eyes began to glow as bright as the moon. Meghan stopped and her eyes began to blaze with glow closer to that of fire. Their hair began to stand on end making them look even less like humans and more like goddesses. The magic power radiating off of them was something I haven't felt in a long time. Kyle got up quickly. "Come on Jax, looks like they heard from the pack. We better get to them before they blow their way out of here..." just as he finished, I saw a flash of light move from the stage, down the center aisle, to the exit.

"Shit!" Kyle and I cursed under our breath. I could feel Barbie, She was reaching for Thor. She needs me. She needs us.

By the time we made it outside, all we found we're the girls shoes and I saw a flash of white fur dash into the woods, with a streak of red trailing right behind her. Kyle didn't take time to undress, He quickly shifted shredding his clothes and I did the same. The shift was angry but I shook off the pain. We took off at full speed into the trees after our mates. The last thought I had before I let Thor loose was, "We will protect her at all costs."
