Chapter 6

Jared POV

I am fuming when I storm out of dad's office. I am so sick and tired of having this discussion with my parents. I understand the severity of the situation, but it's suffocating to have this discussion every other day!

I have considered marking Yvette several times, but I just can't find the heart to do it. I would be potentially putting her life in danger, for selfish reasons. I may not be in love with her, but I care enough about her to not saddle her with my shit!

Plus, my wolf, Kane, wouldn't mark her, even if I wanted to.

'Damn straight!' My grumpy ass wolf chimes in.

I have been known to have a temper and be an asshole, but I don't have anything on Kane. Kane is a bonafide killing machine. He shows no mercy to his enemies. Jordan and Shadow may be the biggest of us, due to him being the first born, but Kane and I are not that much smaller.

I am the best fighter out of the three of us, but that is because I love the thrill and adrenaline that fighting brings. In fact, I am in the need to hit something, so I make my way to the boxing gym.

As I make my way there, I see Yvette walking towards me. I know I am going to have to stop and talk to her, but I am not in the mood.

Yvette eyes me up and down, and I can see the lust in her eyes. I will admit she is a great fuck. She is always so eager to please, but even the thought of that is not enough to improve my mood.

Yvette is a beautiful she-wolf. She is about 5'8", with just the right amount of curves to fit her lean build. She is one of our best warriors, and keeps her body exceptionally toned.

Her olive skin is always flawless, and she keeps her hair cut into the perfect bob. She will make her mate incredibly happy one day, but I know that won't be me.

Yvette crosses the hallway, so that we will eventually bump right into each other. As soon as I see her arms lift to wrap around my neck, I dodge her advance.

"Now is not the time, Yvette!" I snap at her. She pokes her lip out at me and blocks my path.

"I've barely seen you today, and I'm horny. Whatever you are pissed off about, just take it out on me." She says seductively, while grabbing for my dick.

She begins rubbing through my sweatpants. Normally, I would respond to her and be ready to fuck, but I'm not in the fucking mood!

Yvette realizes that her seduction isn't working, and she steps back, with a scoff.

"What the hell is your issue?" Yvette snaps at me.

Kane growls violently in my mind at Yvette's attitude, and it is taking everything to keep him at bay!

I fold my arms across my chest and stare at her.

Yvette tries matching my gaze; however, she can't help but to submit to her alpha. "I made it clear that I wasn't in the fucking mood."

I can see the hurt in her eyes, and I know I am being an asshole, but shit! My emotions are all over the place right now, and I don't need to deal with this shit!

I unfold my arms and drag my hands down my face. "Listen, I'm sorry I snapped. I just need to blow off some steam. I am in way too much of a pissed off mood. Let me go for a run, and I will come find you later." I tell her.

Yvette nods her head and steps on her tippy toes to place a kiss on my cheek. I used to find her cheek kisses sort of, endearing, but today it feels hollow.

Yvette opens her mouth to speak, but my brother's voice cuts through our mindlink, and I raise a hand to pause her.

'Get to the western border, ASAP!' Jordan says? 'Rogues?' I respond. 'No, just get here, quick!" He replies.

Jordan and Jase go back and forth before Jordan shouts, 'Just hurry up and get your asses down here!' He says before slamming our link shut.

Yvette is still standing in front of me, waiting for me to finish my conversation with my brothers.

"I have to go," I tell her and brush past her. "Will you still come find me when you get back?" She asks, but I don't respond.

I am too busy making my way through the packhouse, so I can back up my brother with whatever the hell is going on!

As soon as I get into the backyard, I let my wolf take over. I look to my left and see that Jase has already shifted, and his wolf, Turk, is already charging towards the western border.

Kane catches up with his brother easily, and they run side by side to their brother.

As we approach, Kane starts running even faster, something in the air has grabbed his attention, and it is the most enticing scent I have ever smelled. It smells like a creamsicle.

Kane's mouth begins to water, and is drooling the closer we get to the western border.

It seems like Turk smells the same thing because he is reacting the same way. When we arrive, I'm not prepared at all for the scene in front of me.

My brother is standing toe to toe, with some guy shouting about supernatural laws. Our warriors are behind him armed and ready to strike, while four other men are standing behind the dickhead shouting at my brother.

Jase and I shift back and grab a pair of shorts. We throw them on and immediately run over to Jordan.

Jordan is imposing by himself, but when the three of us stand together, we look like a mistake you don't want to make.

"What the fuck is going on here?" I shout, as I take my place next to my brother. Jase is on the other side of Jordan, and we let our aura slip through.

The four men standing behind "Mr.Leader" quickly bare their necks in submission, but the mouth tries to fight.

"Like I told this one, we just want the girl and we will be on our way." He says.

I look down and there is some sort of form underneath a blanket. Kane is panting heavily in my head and pacing.

As I drop down to look under the blanket, the scent of citrus and vanilla gets stronger. I move the blanket back, and there is a mess of chocolate brown curls, with a red streak. Her honey kissed skin looks so flawless that she almost glows.

'MATE!' Kane screams, and I swear he is already a goner.

I look up at my brothers to confirm, and the expressions on their faces tell me everything I need to know, she is our mate! I don't know who these fuckers are, but there is no way they are leaving with our mate!

I stand back up and glare at the mouthpiece. "Get the fuck off our pack lands, before I shred you apart!"
