Chapter Six

James Black Pov

There was something profoundly unsettling in the alpha of the Blackstone packs night long routines. All of which ended up with James having a different female in bed with him every night, or at the very least on their knees in the office to help him relieve some stress. James looked over at the naked she-wolf who was passed out on the leather sofa in his office, deep in sleep from being worn out. He had taken her over the arm of the sofa. It had been rough and dominating as the Alpha and a subordinate of the pack.

She had screamed for him, begged for him and finally pleaded with her third and last orgasm before he too found his own release and had come all over her back and ass. James’ expression turned concerned for a few brief seconds. The stress he felt was beginning to turn into an edgy frustration that was starting to be dangerous.

Every female that he had been with in the last two months had annoyed him one way or another. Even his favorite, Savannah. She angered him enough to the point he was almost violent with her. He did not know what was wrong with himself and he was too wary to bring it up to his father or the pack doctor.

James had been sitting at his desk since the woman had fallen asleep, going over paperwork for a new business plan one of his village leaders had put before him. He scowled at the she-wold who had been distracting him and brought his attention back to the folder and all the documents spread out over his desk. Every night was almost the same since he took over the pack at 20 for his father.

He would go for a run. Come home to at least one she-wolf wanting his attention for the evening. Fuck her until he was done with her and then he would relax and finish up paperwork for a few hours until sleep called to him. Tonight was no different. Except he had been bored out of his mind and hardly able to focus on the words in front of him.

~Oh great Alpha…~ came the message from his younger brother Hunter in a tone that was dripping in sarcasm.

~Yes?~ James asked in a similar tone mixed with some annoyance.

~Just a heads up but we have two strangers coming into Rosie’s. A wolf and a human. Sounds like their vehicle broke down out on the old highway. Rosie is handling them but she is nervous. What do you want me to do?~ Hunter asked in a hushed tone, all the sarcasm gone from his voice.

James was quiet for a few moments. His pack was the largest and the strongest in the northern states and no other pack had the strength or the courage to attack him. Yet for the last few months, rogue wolves had been testing his borders. They had burned down a few of the pack members homes who preferred to live out on their own in the forest. One child and One female had been killed in the last attack a few days ago.

He couldn't afford to allow the rogues to scout or any other strange wolf to be free on his territory. It was simply too risky. ~Bring them in for questioning. If they show any kind of fight or try to run, throw them in the cells. Any sane wolf would have announced themselves to us. Keep me updated Hunter.~ he said to his brother. At least with wolves to question he could relieve his boredom.

Standing up and stretching himself with a bit of a groan and a crack of his neck, James went over to the sofa and gave the girl a rough nudge. He didn't even know her name, much less cared what it was. “Get out.” He snapped gruffly at her as he went to collect her clothes and then toss them at the woman in dismissal. The she-wolf woke with a start at the nudge and tone of voice of her alpha and sat up just as the clothes were thrown at her. She caught them and bowed her head, whispering a soft ‘yes alpha’ before she ran out the door and closed it quietly, never looking back.

James took care to tidy up his office a little and put important papers back in the locked safe. He sat down again and read over the papers that were part of the proposal. It was a simple business wanting to bring in a grocery store to the nearest town that the section of his back was closest to. James couldn't find fault in it. The humans and wolves had to travel a good forty five minutes in that part of the state to get to the nearest grocery store for supplies.

After a thorough look through of the folder he let out a sigh and closed it up, setting it in the stack of approved works in progress. It was just in time because Hunter was telling him what had gone on. The foolish wolves had tried to run and had weapons in their vehicle. James let out a low growl. ~Bring them in the prison and chain them both. Make sure the wolf is in silver. I will meet you down there.~ he said to Hunter and quickly got up from his chair, leaving the office and heading to his room for a quick shower to get the scent of the she-wolf off him and clear his head.

It was only a twenty minute ATV ride from the small town where Rosie's bar was. There was no trail or road that led to the Alpha’s pack house and his pack. You were either escorted in either as a wolf or riding on an ATV with one of the warriors. Blackstone family had not rose to this level of power by trusting just anyone, even other packs and alphas. Hunter had beat him to the prison by just a few minutes and was down in the cells with a few of the guards that had come with him to help in case the wolf woke up from the sedative. He stepped into the cell with a scowl on his face at the scent of non-pack wolves on his land.

The male was naked. James guessed maybe he was in his late thirties to forties. In his prime and with a few battle scars on his body that had almost cost the wolf his life. Just from the look of the male they brought in, James knew these wolves were not from neighboring packs. Tan skin and sandy blonde hair was not something you seen everyday up near the Canadian border packs. They all sported fair skin and darker shades of hair.

“Do you think they are rogues? They were not feral… But still… the amount of weapons in that truck could supply a small army. If they aren't rogue they sure as hell are supplying them” James said as he knelt over the human female, securing the chains around her wrists and clamping a collar into place on her before leaving her to lay on the floor as he stood up and stepped back to give James some room.

The sedatives on the male wolf they had captured were already starting to wear off thanks to the wolfs incredible ability to process toxins and foreign substances out of the body, leaving him drenched in his own sweat as his body rejected and processed it. The blonde man groaned lowly, the bites all over his body from the fight already healed. He had been chained in a sitting position with heavy duty iron chains attached to silver wrist bands and a silver collar that would prevent the man from shifting and weaken his strength from the silver alloy.

The man lifted his head as if he was dazed or just coming out of a disorientating sleep, but his hazel eyes were sharp and focused on the large body that was going to the feminine form laying on the floor. It took seconds for the wolf to realize what was happening before he went crazy, standing and pulling at his too short chains that prevented him from getting within touching distance of James or the other prisoner.

James ignored the wolf in the chains as he approached the female and knelt down, gently touching her hair between his fingertips. It was such a rich chestnut color he couldn't stop himself from holding a lock of it. The female was pretty. Beautiful really. His eyes traveled her body over the dip and curve of her hips. If he hadn't of outlawed using sex against the prisoners… he would take this one himself for answers. He dropped her hair and lightly smoothed a finger over the road rash on her face where she had been taken to the ground hard.

She wasn't a wolf… but she wasn't human either and he leaned down close taking in a deep breath of her scent, leaning back slightly and closing his eyes. His brows creased together as he tried to figure out her scent and what or who she was. All he could get was chocolate chip cookies and something that was eluding him. Something he should know, that was almost intoxicating but it was so faint and muted he couldn't be sure.

He let out a breath, the racket of the other wolf invading the single tract mind he had over the female but as soon as his eyes opened he was staring right into the most beautiful golden eyes he had ever seen… and they were frightened as hell.
