Big Bad Wolfie novel Chapter 27

"Jaz, this is Maria, the former Second of House Crimson," Wolfie introduced me to a girl that's around my age, maybe a little younger. She looked at me with stunning blue eyes and a smile that made something churn in me.

Dang, that's a pretty good smile considering all the gooshy feelings that are flying around in my stomach.

She laughed and turned to Wolfie, "Oh, the one from the pack mom and dad are pissed at you for getting involved with?"

Ah, mom and dad. That explains why the smile did things to me. It matches her brother's.

He rolled his eyes and shook his head, "Everyone needs to stop thinking they can have an opinion on these things."

Ooh, tea.

"I'm the alpha now. Not dad, not mom, definitely not you. I call the shots."

Oh, this poor, lost little boy.

His sister rolled her eyes. "Whatever stupid."

I snorted.

I like this girl.

He shot her a look and "discreetly" motioned to me.

'Not in front of her,' he growled with his eyes.

Yes he growled with his eyes. I guess werewolves can do that.

She rolled hers again.

Wolfie huffed angrily, "You need to stop doing that. Go and do. . . Something. I don't even care, just get away from anywhere you can put things into this one's head." He nudged a thumb my way.

Oh yeah, because I already hold you to the highest respect.

"Or vise-versa," I heard him mumble under his breath.

Ha.

"Can't. Mom and dad told me to make sure you don't do anything stupid," she smiled.

I laughed out loud at that.

"Well it's not what mom and dad say. It's what I say."

I shook my head, "Wolfie, you've got it all backwards."

"Ha! Wolfie?" His sister chortled.

"I know right," I smiled.

"Anyway," I continued, "That's not how it works."

He furrowed his brows at me.

"It's always what mom and dad say. Whatever they say goes," I told him.

"But I'm —"

"The Alpha now. We know," I rolled my eyes. "But you're also an idiot, and a literal fetus compared to your parents."

"So are you!"

"No kidding! That's why I listen to those older and wiser than me."

. . . When I feel like it. . .

"You act like you know everything," he glared at me.

"I do," I agreed, nodding, "But that's beside the point."

His sister chuckled again.

"I also know I'm a total idiot and need guidance from the people who have been in the same position before. But of course that sort of reasoning involves logic and common sense. Two things you seem to be seriously lacking," I rolled my eyes.

"Oh shoot," his sister started cracking up. "I love this girl."

Oh, haha, do you think you can rub off on your brother a little?

"Mom and dad are always right. That's just the way it is," I shrugged. "Respect is earned," I jabbed my finger into his chest, "not given."

"You. . ."

Are so right. Goddess, I'm so lucky to have such a wise mate.

"Are so infuriating."

Yeah, that sounds more like him.

"Jazmine! Go train in the clearing."

"But, mom and dad said —"

"I don't care what mom and dad said. Go."

His sister looked taken aback, then a flash of hurt crossed her face.

He used the alpha command on her.

The hurt disappeared and turned to anger. She glared daggers at him until she broke it to shake her head, "Why are you acting like this?" She questioned. But before he could answer, she swiveled on her heal and stormed off.

I don't know if she's actually going to this clearing Wolfie talked about, but she's going the opposite direction of the pack house and towards the surrounding woods.

I find myself feeling sorry for her.

I feel you girl.

Hopefully your idiot brother comes to his senses at some point. For both of our sakes.

~*~*~*~

We're approaching the training area Wolfie sent Jazmine to. That was an hour or so ago, and considering she didn't want to come in the first place, Wolfie figured she'd be gone by now.

We walked past the last line of trees and into the clearing scattered with training dummies, rubber weapons, and sparring dog-people. Some in dog form, others not.

Wolfie's assumption about his sister having cleared out was proven wrong when we looked to our right and found her beating a poor training dummy to death. Which is saying something, because it was already inanimate to begin with. But with the force behind those blows, I wouldn't doubt the poor thing is feeling each and every one of the hits.

I can't blame her, I've been tempted to let off steam the exact same way. Just with something a little more animate. And a little more annoying, cocky, and who's nickname rhymes with Solfie.

We watch her do a final spinning kick that knocks the dummies head off clean, then she turns and stares directly into Wolfie's eyes.

She is certainly not hiding the fact she is not happy with his little alpha command.

Wolfie holds her gaze for a second then shakes his head and turns with a slightly softer expression.

We're headed towards the next person I'll be introduced to, I'm assuming.

For the last hour it's been, introduce the second of the house he's "taken over" then talk about random things — sometimes concerning the pack, sometimes not — for what feels like an eternity. Now, we're headed towards a large man, possibly larger than Wolfie's towering size, with light brown hair and matching mocha eyes and skin. Without a doubt, I know he's the father of the first boy I met here, Tony, the gamma's son.

Making this hulk the gamma.

It's the only explanation for his size. No one but the people in his rank should be able to compete with the monstrous physique of an alpha.

There's a reason there's usually only one per pack. Alphas are huge. Not many even compare when it comes to muscle mass and just size in general.

None compare, other than other alphas, to their presence when they walk in a room. This guy doesn't change that, but he's certainly hard to ignore.

As impressive as the two men are to look at together, their conversation was boring as ever, and I zoned out until what had to be Jazmine's third decapitated training dummy's head came flying in our direction.

I turned to her panting figure.

Looks like someone still hasn't calmed down completely.

"Gamma Aden, I think I need something that will fight back," she huffed, still shooting a dark glare at wolfie.
