Fight

BLUE

I snarled at Jasper, making him back up a step. He was my alpha, but she was my mate. If she said no, it was absolute.

“Meet me outside,” I said, my voice low as my wolf had his hackles raised, trying to protect our mate.

“You don’t want to do this,” Jasper protested, his eyes showing that his wolf wasn’t happy about his second-in-command challenging him.

“I do,” I said. “Our mate is more important than anything.” If he couldn’t control himself and stop scaring her, he’d ruin our future. “Outside.”

He showed me his teeth before walking away. I turned around. Jasmine had her sheets pulled all the way up and looked like she was on the verge of tears. She was holding it together, but barely.

“Hey there,” I said, kissing her cheek. “You’re okay.”

I could see in her eyes that she wasn’t comfortable with the direction that the date had taken. She was visibly shaking.

“Everything will be fine,” I said, kissing her shoulder. “Why don’t you try to get some rest while I knock some sense into Jasper?”

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep.”

I pulled away from her and eased her into a comfortable position.

“I’ll be back in a bit.” I closed her bedroom door behind me as I went to talk to Jasper. If he hadn’t scared her, I would be engaged in far more pleasurable activity than having a hard talk with my alpha.

“What the fuck was that?” Jasper spat at me, pacing in front of the house. He was at his crankiest.

“You’re a dick, that’s what,” I said, ice to his fire.

“You’re the dick,” he growled at me, lowering his chin as if he were about to tackle me in human form. “We need to be…”

“The three of us will form mating bonds, for sure.”

“Then why are you stopping us?”

“You are,” I snapped. “Instead of letting her establish a relationship with me, you’re too insecure about your own claim that you’re messing up mine.”

He showed me his teeth. Normally, betas bared their necks or stomachs to show submission. Instead, I showed my teeth back at him.

“Don’t ruin everything,” I warned. “You won’t like the consequences.”

He snarled at me, his shoulders tight. “Don’t threaten me. I’m still your alpha.”

“If you want to be my alpha, you have to earn that respect.”

He lunged at me, even though we’d settled our dominance fights long ago.

“Don’t make me hurt you,” I told him. I brought my hands up and kept them loose. I’d defend myself if I had to.

“Stop!” We both froze when Jasmine’s voice registered.

“You two shitheads,” Jasmine said. “Why didn’t you think to ask me what I wanted, huh?” She had her hands on her hips.

“We’re trying to be respectful,” I replied. “Or at least I am.” I raised my eyebrows at her.

“Both of you, get back in the house before you freeze to death.”

Shifters weren’t worried by a temperature in the forties, but we hadn’t even brought up the subject with Jasmine yet. I could see that there were goosebumps on her skin.
