Beta Male of Clan Wolf

“I always thought they cackled…” Kyle mused, giving Warren a teasing smile. “But I will surely extend my services. I am the most sought after attorney in the city…evidently.”

“I guess it’s cacklin’, I try not to stick around and listen.”

Kyle wrapped his legs around Warren’s waist to hold himself up and trailed a line of kisses down his jaw and neck. “Sexy sexy cowboy…” He purred. “Will you wear the chaps for me?”

Warren’s hand slipped under his ass, lifting him up off the wall, supporting him as he walked. ”My gorgeous heart stopping lawyer. Mmm, I think you’re gonna pass out as soon as you hit the bed. You drank a lot of wine tonight.” Warren backed into their bedroom, shutting the door to the room with his foot, before he laid Kyle on the bed. His lips kissed Kyle soundly as he unwrapped his fiancee from his waist.

“Mmm…” Kyle purred, wrapping his arms around Warren’s neck and giving him a sloppy kiss. “I can fight it.” He slurred.

“Mmm, I know you can.” He lifted the man up off his feet, pressing him against the side of the wall. “I say we go to bed. What do you think?”

“And if I have?” Kyle nursed his fifth glass of wine.

“We might get noises complaints.” Warren plucked the stemmed glass from his hand, pulling the man closer toward him.

I am engaged...

Adam toasted Warren with his wine glass and took a sip. Mercy’s squeal made him look up and watch as she embraced Kyle. Cat’s response did surprise him. As she took her seat he gave her a small nod of approval. Once Jesse returned to her seat, Adam turned to Kyle. “Welcome. I hope you’ll find the pack accommodating. If not…” He shrugged. “Well I imagine Warren will take care of that but my door is always open.”

Warren let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding when Jesse’s arms wrapped around him. Giving her arm a little squeeze he kissed her cheek. “Thank ya darling. Hey now, don’t overwhelm  him." He teased squeezing his hand as the hugs kept coming from all angles. Warren met his alpha’s eyes seeing the layers behind what Adam had said. Kyle seemed to search his face looking for an answer as to who she was, but he nodded looking away. He raised his glass in acknowledgement before speaking again. “Welcome back Cat. I hope you adjust back home easily. 

Pack Dinner

Standing up Warren cleared his throat, wishing he had a beer right in front of him for after this. He could feel Kyle’s heartbeat next to his pounding, and all he wanted to do was sweep him out of the situation. But this wasn’t going to get easier with time so might as well do it tonight. “I have recently asked Kyle to marry me. I am well aware taking on another human under the pack’s protection may be an added stress, but I...” He took a breath trying to find the most diplomatic way of saying it and coming up with only weak or passive things. He wasn’t going to let the Kyle issue be a debate. ”I don’t really care. Kyle has saved this pack before and will continue to do so after we’re married and I don’t believe it’s to much to ask to be willing to protect him if I’m not there. Thank you for your time.” Sitting down he grabbed Kyle’s hand gently letting it rest on the table.

“Oh? And do you hate them, honey?” He asked, stroking his finger over the wolf’s scruff. “I’m not worried.” Kyle replied, “The louder they growl the harder they fall or the more they need me…as it were.”

He smiled down at him, watching his fingers trace along his jaw. “I would hate to color your vision of them. If they need help, they need help. And they don’t really growl, it’s more of a high pitched howl.”

“I’m not sure actually. I do know he gave my assistant a hard time. I have an appointment with him next week. And the other was Raphael Medrano…the hyena alpha. His issue is an unruly teenager that got himself into a bit of legal trouble.” Kyle explained.

“The hyena’s are always in trouble. It’s part of why everyone hates them. I’d be more concerned over Curran than him. But you don’t need to feel like you have to help them. You know that right?”

“I mean…do you intend on him being a part of the pack or not.” He scratched his neck. “Obviously I’m not going to stand in your way. I married a human. But she wasn’t part of the pack, she wanted nothing to do with it. But…the pack still looked out for her. I need to know what your expectations are so I can tell you if they are reasonable. I like Kyle. I think he’s good for you.”

“I’d like him to, but I know what challenges we’re going to face. I don’t know what he wants though. If he chooses to stay away from the pack, I don’t blame him. He hasn’t ever told me anything, one way or the other.”

Adam raised a brow and stared at Warren. “Marriage…really? Do you intend on turning him?”

“If he wants that, I’m not going to force it on him.” Warren steeled against his look, knowing there had to be something more than that.”

“Not important.” He replied with a flippant wave. “Did you know I’ve been visited by two alphas this week? One being the beast lord himself? Normally i enjoy a good manly show but goodness…two in one week.”

“Curran? Why did he visit you? Who else did?” His hackles raised at the idea of Kyle being surrounded by the alphas. Taking a deep breath Warren gave him a sympathetic smile. “I’m sorry you had to deal with that. Curran isn’t pleasant to be around on a good day. When he’s dealing with whatever he came for, that would just be hell.”

He tilted his head. “Close the door.” Closing the book he was reading he gestured Warren to the chair across from him. “What’s wrong? Are you alright?”

Warren let out a nervous chuckle, rubbing at his neck. Taking a seat, he drummed his fingers on his thighs. “I-uh I wanted to talk to you about something. I’m going to propose to Kyle tonight. And I thought I should clear it with you before hand.” He finished lamely.

“I-I can’t” Cat stated shaking her head. She couldn’t help someone else, if she couldn’t simply put herself back together. Wrapping her arms around herself she took a few deep calming breaths. “Sorry, I’ve fucked things up”

“Shhh- c’mere Cat.” Warren folded her into his arms as she shook. “You can fix it, you just have to stay calm.”

Crossing her arms across her chest she felt defeated. Cat didn’t know what to do. She didn’t know how to make it up to Adam and the girls. Moving her hands to her pockets she looked back up. “I guess I’ll leave him then” She stated turning around. “For what its worth I missed you guys”

He pulled his hand from his coat pocket, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.  “I’m not the one you have to convince Cat. When Christy left... the girls and Adam needed you. It’s still hard on Adam, you have to earn his trust back.”

He stuck his fingers in his ears. “TMI! La la la la!”

“Don’t poke at something if you don’t want the truth.”
