Beta Male of Clan Wolf

[not-your-boytoy-blog]

“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.”

“You would.” He gave the wolf a playful shove. “Don’t get used to this Warren. As soon as I have my wits about me you’ll pay for this!” Giving him a look of astonishment he kissed him again. “You most certainly will not! Though I simply must speak to my Bessie as soon as possible! We were just talking about us the other day….” He trailed off before he could stop himself. Eyes widening he attempted to change the subject. “Food! Yes. Of course. I am famished, Mr.Smith and you did promise me sustenance.” Pulling away with a playful wink he started toward the restaurant. “How do you feel about Warren Brooks?”

[wererangler]

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

Warren dragged the kiss out, smiling down at Kyle. “Only you could make getting proposed to, somethin’ I’ll pay for.” He raised his eyebrows at the mention of the woman but didn’t say anything. If Bess kept it quiet to where he was that surprised, he didn’t think the meeting was worth mentioning. “Well then right this way sir.” He rested his hand on Kyle’s lower back, guiding him towards the door. “I think it makes me sound like a suit company, or a country singer.”

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?”

[wererangler]

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.

[wererangler]

“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.

[wererangler]

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

“Cheers.“

[wererangler]

“I know I was there. Have you been yelling it from the rooftops?”

Pack Dinner

[growly-alpha-blog]

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.”

Getting an armful of Mercy, Kyle laughed and squeezed her tight. When she pulled back he pressed a kiss to her cheek. Having her there tonight was such a huge relief. He knew he at least had one person in his corner. Well besides Warren. “Thank you.”

The blond woman made him frown and he glanced at Warren in question. He didn’t recognize her but he offered her a smile and his thanks. He’d have to ask Warren about that later. Jesse, one of Adam’s daughters came flying around the table, throwing herself at Warren. Seeing his fiance with the girl made him all warm. Perhaps there would be a family in their future. He always thought Warren would make a wonderful father. After receiving his own hug, Kyle thanked her and accepted Warren’s hand under the table. “Thank you. All of you. This is quite the heart warming welcome.” He exchanged a toast to Adam with his own wine and settled back in his seat.

Adam turned his attention back to the table. “We are also celebrating my sister, Cat’s return to the pack. She’s been away for a number of years and has decided to return to us. I’ve met with Curran and she will be re-initiated to the pack on the next full moon. Please join me in welcoming her back to the fold….” Turning to his sister he offered a toast to her as well.

[wererangler]

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. 

His eyes scanned the table, all happy face save for Derek who just looked miserable from the moment he walked in the dining room, and Ben. Who was always miserable but seemed to enjoy taking it out through anger. Scooting his chair back Warren pushed himself up. “Now that’s all over I’m going to grab myself a beer. Ben come with me. Can we grab ya’ll something while we’re up?”

“Another soda please.” Riley chimed in as they were leaving. She had caught Derek’s eye when her aunt had spoken. Feeling as incredibly self centered as she was being she gave the human a small smile. “Congrats Kyle, maybe you can steal him away so we don’t get so many guards.”

Pack Dinner

Adam took his seat at the head of the table. He poured himself a glass of red wine as the pack milled about slowly taking their seats. Sipping his wine he watched Riley trudge in and sit next to him, hands folded in her lap. She’d been quiet the past few days. Much to quiet. Beside her Kono took a seat. Adam had so hoped the two would become friends. He still held on to that small glimmer. It could still happen.

As he took another sip Arcas came stumbling in, Derek trudging behind. Arcas sat beside Kono and Derek across from him. It did not go unnoticed that Derek refused to meet anyone’s eyes. Jesse came in next leading Mercy. That came as a surprise. Adam raised his glass to her in a saute as she seated herself across from Jesse.

Cat came in with Ben at her heels. She took one look at Adam and plopped herself into the seat. Quiet. Dimitri came in the opposite door and sat beside Jesse. Adam wasn’t sure if he should be relieved or annoyed, so he nodded to him.

Warren came in last, leading Kyle by the hand. Adam had approved of this. Warren needed to present Kyle to the pack as his intended mate. What better place to start than now? Pulling the char beside Mercy out for Kyle, Warren took his seat across the table from Adam.

Once everyone was seated, Adam rose to his feet. “I’d like to welcome everyone to this Pack Dinner. I know it’s been a while since we had a gathering like this. We are celebrating quiet a few things tonight….” He raised his glass and held it out. “First….I’d like to offer the floor to Warren.”

[wererangler]

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.

Riley’s head snapped up from the blank plate. She’d done a fairly decent job of at avoiding everyone’s questions up until now. She still couldn’t look at Derek, but she did wield around when he popped the announcement. Staring at Mercy she waited for her or anyone to break the silence.

[not-your-boytoy-blog]

“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.”

“Yes.” His laugh was watery as Warren kissed him. He took the man’s face in his hands and deepened their kiss. Emotion choked him up as he willed himself not to cry and failed miserably. “Oh hell.” Pressing his forehead to the other he closed his eyes and just basked in the warmth emanating off the wolf. “I love you…” He added softly, as if the simple words could even sum up how he truly felt. When Warren slid the ring on his finger he caught his hand. “What do you have to say for yourself….Mr. Smith?” He breathed. “You’ve turned me to mush. I don’t much appreciate it.” Straightening, he fussed with his suit coat trying to calm his rapidly beating hear.

[wererangler]

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.”

The werewolf beamed down at the man, as he pulled away from the kiss. “I love you too.” He brought Kyle’s hand to his lips kissing it as it tightened around his hold. “I’d have to say I quite like seeing you taken by my charms. Should I take a video to show Bess later? A speechless Kyle.” Warren teased, smoothing his tie and jacket for him. “Do you still want to eat? Or have I made you too mushy.”

[not-your-boytoy-blog]

“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.

Startled, Kyle gasped as he found himself cradled in Warren’s arms. It made his heart skip a beat. “Warren?” He stared up at him with wide eyes. They widened even further when the werewolf dropped to one knee. “Oh my god!” He gasped.

It took him a moment to speak. Moisture collecting in his eyes and the emotion choking him up. As if it was even a real question. He let out a watery laugh. “Of course I would…” He rasped. “You are my entire world, Warren, all of it. I can’t….I can’t even fathom what my life would be like without you…you silly wolf.”

“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?”

“Really?” Warren stood in a flash and crashed his lips onto Kyle’s. Wrapping his arms around his waist, he pressed him against the car. “I love you so much.” Remembering the abandoned ring box on the ground, Warren detached himself from his fiancee and scooped it up. Taking it out, he placed the ring onto his finger.

[growly-alpha-blog]

“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.”

“But I’m not going to lie to you…mating outside the pack is not easy. I don’t know how accepting everyone else is going to be. Do you think he’s prepared for what all of this means?”

[wererangler]

“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.”

“I guess I’m going to find out. I’ve never seen Kyle give up on something he wanted though.”

[growly-alpha-blog]

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

“What are your intentions for the future?”

[wererangler]

“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.”

“What do you mean?”

[not-your-boytoy-blog]

“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.”

“A good bitter Merlot I hope…” He replied with a sigh, desperately needing the bite of it tonight. With a tilt of his head his sharp eyes caught on to something. Touching Warren’s arm he gave it a squeeze. “You alright honey? You seem a little tense. I hope you aren’t in trouble for tonight because really…I think you are entitled to a little time to yourself.”

[wererangler]

“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.”

“Of course.” He looked over at him, grabbing his hand and giving it a squeeze. The werewolf pulled him to his chest, cradling his face between his hands. “I’m perfect, I-” Stopping mid sentence, Warren pressed a kiss to his lips before slipping down onto one knee. “Kyle, I spent a long time alone. And I honestly had accepted that I would be the uncle who watches the kids on the sideline while whoever needed time to themselves got that time. But then I met you and it felt like I’d get a chance to feel that. You’ve made me realize who I am outside of this pack, and I hope that I’ve made that same impact on you. And I love you and would love it if you would like to spend the rest of your life with me.”

[growly-alpha-blog]

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?”

“Who do I need to kill?”

[wererangler]

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.

“What do you think?”

[mindovermatter-catarina]

“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”

[wererangler]

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

[mindovermatter-catarina]

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”

[wererangler]

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.”

[wererangler]

“Can I talk to you, in private.” 

[nifty-british-wolf-blog]

In his room...

[nifty-british-wolf-blog]

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

Ben gave him a look. “So…you figured you’d just spring it on him at the next pack meeting? Oh by the way I invited a human into the pack? That’ll go over well. Give me a heads up so I can get a front row seat.” He paused then sighed. “Adam has no problem with Kyle because he doesn’t affect him….we already have two humans to look out for you are just adding another to the fold. I honestly don’t know what he’d think. But I sure as hell would give him a heads up. Your his fucking best friend you ninny.”

[wererangler]

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

“Shut up Ben.” His skin prickling with anxiety as the wolf laid out everything he’d thought of and then some. You couldn’t really take back an engagement, and just because the pack tolerated Warren’s love life outside the pack space doesn’t mean it would translate to inside. “I’ll go talk to him later.”
