"Bring her home, wolf. It's time."

The wolf balked at the message from the Alpha. The moon was high in the sky. There was still plenty of time to run. While it had an inherent need to obey its Alpha, that didn't mean it couldn't voice its protest to the shining orb in the sky. It sat, pointed its snout toward the moon, and issued a long, high pitched howl.

To the wolf's surprise, the she-wolf didn't want to return either, and did what she could to postpone it. She continued to shove him with her shoulder, bump him with her hip, and flag her tail high in the air in invitation to play. He accepted it for the first mile, refusing to respond to the delaying tactics, but enjoying her antics. He even chuffed a laugh when she tried to scrape a patchy spot of slushy snow into a pile to toss at him with her nose. The snow didn't fly, but her nose came away covered in muddy water that she tried ineffectually to slap away with her paw.

After that first mile, he began to worry and became more forceful in his demands. She, more than he, would suffer the consequences. The call to Brad was a matter of obedience. He could exert his will over it and remain wolf until the moon set. Livvy could not. She was at the mercy of the Alpha's will. If she waited too long and was too far away when the Alpha called her home, the long walk back would be a cold and wet one.

Her welfare was his responsibility. Over the protests of his human, the wolf began to use the physical force of his larger body to steer her in the right direction. As the male, it was his duty to take the lead. Her job was to follow.

It was when the she-wolf began to lag behind that he lost patience. Twice, he nipped her flank. The second time he made sure it stung. Her surprised yelp made the human Brad wince, but his wolf had little sympathy for the defiant female. He was larger, stronger, and male, and it was time this female understood what that meant.

Duly chastened, the she-wolf hung her head and trotted obediently by his side, though a little behind. Good, the female knew her place. It was about time. He led the way with his head held high.

They'd gone another half mile before he heard her chuff and looked beside him to find her watching him with dancing eyes. The chuff turned into a chortle and he was about to chastise her again when she took off. This time when he caught her, he would make very sure she understood who was boss. As her mate, he was duty bound to protect her, even if it hurt.
