You know that feeling when your called up to the front of the classroom to present your projects to the class. So, you get up and walk down the isle through the desks and everyone's staring at you. That's how it felt. Titus' arm around my waist, Brody by my side, and Jacob and Tala in Titus' other side. As we walked by the pack members stood up and submitted.

"I feel underdressed," I whisper to Titus. I was wearing a plain dress but it felt like I needed to be dressed up more.

"You're fine sweetheart. You can what ever you'd like," he says planting a kiss on my temple. I heard a faint growl near the back of the room.

Titus stops walking making everyone look up. His arm keeps me from moving to far away from him. His head snaps towards the faint growling I heard.

"Move aside," he says lowly in his Alpha tone. The harshness in his voice made my wolf want to submit and back away but I stood by his side.

People parted the isles in between the tables like the Red Sea did for Moses. In the middle of the isle at the back stood the She-wolf that kissed my mate.

"Lyra what do you think you're doing, threatening my mate and your Luna," he said raising his voice with each word. So that's what her name was Lyra.

"Titus baby you know she's not your real mate, I am," she says seductively. Titus lets out a low growl.

"How dare you act that way in front of the whole pack," he growls. "You're dismissed from dinner and the pack run tonight."

She lets out a scoff and walks out one of the side doors. Titus walks back to me and we continue walking. We came up to a large table with two large chairs and three smaller chairs but larger than the normal Charles everyone else was using.

Titus pulls out a chair for me and I sat down. Titus sat to the right of me Brody sat two seats down from me and Jacob sat next to Titus.

Jacob handed me Tala, who was still out. I let her sling her legs on either side of me and lean on my chest. Omegas came around holding platters of food and set them down on all the tables.

If this pack was like my old pack, that means the Alpha Female had to eat before everyone else can. Titus took a plate and piled food on it. He took a fork and twirled spaghetti in it, my favorite.

He held the fork up to my mouth and I looked at him shocked. Him feeding me right now is showing everyone his love for me. He gives me a small nod so I opened my mouth and ate it. Everyone cheered and started taking food.

"Tala you need to wake up for dinner," I whisper to her and lightly tap her. She looks up at me and lets out a small groan.

"There's spaghetti," I said bribing her to wake up. Her head shot up and I let out a laugh. I put her in the seat next to me and take and put give it to Tala.

"Here," Titus says putting a pill into my palm. "Dr. Jones told me to give these to you, one before breakfast and one before dinner for a week."

I nod and take it with a large sip of water. I looked over at Titus' food and saw that he hadn't touched any of his food.

"Are you going to eat?" I ask him. He shakes his head and I looked at him with confusion on my face.

"I'm waiting for you to finish your face your food," he says holding another spoon full to my mouth. I grab his hand and put it back on my plate.

"That's stupid, your food is going to get cold and then I'll feel bad and you don't want me to feel bad right?" I said using that card and doing my best puppy eyes.

"I hate the affect you have on me," he whispers into my ear. Shivers went down my back and my need for him grew.

"Get a room," I heard Brody yell probably smelling my arousal. My shot over to where he was sitting and my face immediately became red from embarrassment. Brody face had a smirk on his face.

"Lets get finished with our food then we can feed our wolves," Titus said standing up. The pack roared in cheer and he sat back down.

"You better eat," I mumble to him. He rolls his eyes and sits back down. He starts to eat his food and I continue to finish mine.

"What are we hunting tonight? My wolf keeps begging me for a release," I ask as my wolf keeps pacing in my mind.

"There's a herd of deer coming in and many a few moose in the woods," he says nonchalantly. My wolves' ears perked up at the mention of moose.

"Ugh now she's more excited for tonight," I said letting out a groan. He let out a laugh that made my heart do a flip. I felt his wolf call out to mine. My wolf started to gain more confidence and pushed her way out of me. I saw Titus' gaze on me as he felt the battle between my wolf and I.

I felt my eyes glow a bright silver and my claws come out. I dig them into my skin and take death breaths to try to calm my wolf.

"Sophia focus on your breathing," Titus said wrapping his hand around my fists. I took. A deep breath in and exhaled. I felt me eyes turn back and my claws go back.

"I'm sorry," I whisper to him. "She's been gaining more of a temper lately."

"When was the last time you had a release?" He asks opening my fists and looking at the blood running down my arms.

"A week maybe? I lost track since the rouges have been increasing," I say. He takes a napkin and dips it in water. He lightly wipes the blood off my hands and stands up.

"You're dismissed from dinner. Take a few minutes to get ready and at 11:30 meet at the border of the forest." The pack exited and Titus say back down with me.

"I'll get border patrol to put around the secluded area so you can have a release," he said and kissed my temple.

"Thank you," I whisper as my wolf seemed to settle down in my hear. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and stood up.

"Someone needs to watch Tala," I say looking at her. She had fallen back asleep but she finished eating.

"I can watch her Sophia," I heard from someone beside Brody. Charlotte came out from beside him and I nodded.

"Will you not be at the pack run tonight?" I ask as I lightly pick Tala up.

"Oh no I'm getting to old for that," she laughs. "I rather stay back and watch Tala." I nod and hand her over. Tala snuggles her head into her shoulder and sighed with content.

"Her pajamas are laid out on my bed, she doesn't need to shower just make sure she brushes her teeth." She nods and walks out of the large room.

"It's almost 11:30 I think we should start heading out," Jacob says. Titus nods and he takes my hand and intertwines his fingers with mine. We walk towards the meeting place and talked about their days.

"My break days start tomorrow so you'll have me all to yourself this weekend," he whispers to me as Jacob and Brody talked about. I silently celebrate in my head and give him a smile.

We came up to the border of the forest and I saw mostly all the pack members there.

"You and Titus will lead the pack and Brody and I will trail behind," Jacob explains to me. I nod and walk to the front of the pack with Titus.

"You get first kill of the night," Titus tells me. My wolf's ears perked up and she excitedly jumped in my head.

"Can we leave before I get a headache?" I ask. He lets out a chuckle and commanded everyone to shift. The cracking of bones was the only thing I heard until hundreds of wolves stood behind me. My wolf begged to be let free so I let her free. She shifted, escaping my prison of skin.

She let out a large howl and ran. The howl was carried on by the pack as she ran with Titus next to her. She let out a yip and I sat back and let her hunt. The scent of deer and moose came quickly to her and she changed directions.

She began to pick up the pace until she slowly came to a stop and crouched down.

"There are moose behind those trees," I suddenly heard. I almost let out a yelp because I forgot Titus could now mind link with me.

"Yeah I know she senses them," I reply. Titus' wolf gave my wolf a nudge to tell her to go for it. She dashes quickly in and out of trees and dug her claws into its back. She fell to the ground and it's antlers hit her in the side. She let out a large growl and dug her teeth in its leg. Its front legs buckled and she dug her teeth into its neck and tore it out. It went limp and fell in front of her.

She got up and and tore its stomach out. She ran over to Titus and dropped it in front of him and nudged it towards him. She was asking him if he was proud. He slowly lowered his head and nudged it back towards her. He was proud.

She proudly took the piece of meat and ate it. She dug into the large animal she killed. After she finished she sighed contently and Titus finished the scraps. He let out a howl as a signal that they could hunt.
