A/N: This is slash. Please don't read it if it offends you. Also, the ratings on each chapter will vary, but it's listed as 'M' for some of the chapters. There will be smut... of a sort.
Idea came to me from the prompt over on LJ's comment_fic: NCIS, Ensemble, AU. How Gibbs' Rules would look if everyone was a werewolf (Werewolf!AU).
This isn't quite that, but it's what inspired this. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS. Just having fun.
Rule One: Never let suspects stay together. Never screw over your partner.
Tim felt the insane urge to roll his eyes. Jethro, the team Alpha, was once again on a tear through the team, trying to get them all to worker faster. Which didn't quite make sense to Tim. They had the suspects in custody downstairs.
Only thing he could figure was that Jethro's wolf instincts were telling him something was missing. Some danger that had been missed and needed to be found. Plus, Tony had said the suspects smelled like lies. He did what he could to speed things up, but just kept hitting dead ends. Until Jethro stepped in front of his desk.
"McGee, want your help."
Jumping up out of his chair, Tim hustled half a pace behind his Alpha, trying not at agitate him further because he didn't snap-to fast enough. Followed all the way down to the interrogation rooms. Stopping in front of the middle one, Jethro jerked his head towards the door. "You grab one, I'll grab another. Leave the third to stew."
"Sure. Why though?"
"Rule number one, Tim." Jethro's eyes crinkled when he flashed him that tiny, lopsided grin.
Tim tilted his head a little, a habit he shared with his wolf. "I thought that was never screw over your partner?"
"Or your mate." Jethro crowded him against the wall for a moment, nuzzling the line of his throat and taking in Tim's scent. "Good thing you're both to me. But that's personal." He chuckled into the soft skin before pulling away. "The work rule is never let suspects stay together."
Tim rubbed his cheek against Jethro's as they separated. "Let's split them up then Boss."
