The page fluttered as the wind caught the edge. Mikoto adjusted her grip, laying her thumb on the corner, tightening her grip on the little red bound book as she held it close to the edge of the table. In her other hand, she held a tall glass of ice tea, her fingers wet with condensation, as it slowly dripped down the side. The ice clinked against the glass as it melted.

She exhaled, a very slow silent breath, her hazel colored eyes shaded light pink, her tongue slipping across her lower lip. the beating of her heart quickened, her skin flushed.

(I can't believe it…little misaka spoke in a voice blended in a mix of hunger and surprise. How could he not…she gulped.)

"I don't know…" Mikoto whispered, slowly swallowing, "but, that Angela is really bold."

(mm hmmm…this one is better than the first book)

They both let out another long drawn out sigh as they read, The noble leaves in autumn. Book two…

You are the sun and moon in my sky.

You are the air I breathe.

You're the blanket that keeps me warm when the night is cool.

(You're the wet in my dreams. She giggled.)

"No…" I said, " only you could pervert it."

So, I thought I should finish it.

You are the sun and the moon in my sky.

You are the air I breathe.

You are the blanket that keeps me warm when the night is cool.

You are the dreams that make me weep.

(Why she said softly)

because if I am dreaming, I am a sleep and I am not awake in my world of you.

She sighed softly, turned her head, placed it against my chest as she closed her eyes and buried herself, her long ears tickled my cheeks. "I am the reason your heart beats." She said grinning.

We danced with the other Alphas in a slow circle until the music waned.

The others parted, left the dance floor but Angela held me tighter, slowly moving in time with imaginary music.

"Angela." I said, looking at the top of her head, her ear slowly twitched.

"Hush…" She whispered.

She looked up at me with a face warm from my chest, eyes glistening like moonlight across the ripples of a pond. I could hear giggling from all around us, but I didn't pay attention to it.

"Angela… Are you going to let go?"

She slowly shook her head. I twisted my mouth, "great…" I said in a low voice. I looked around, all the alpha females had their elegant fans open in front of their mouths, giggling. The alpha males' heads were tilted slowly nodding.

"What are they saying?" I wondered.

"We should…" I said trying to turn to leave, Angela resisted just a little but then loosened her hold, letting her left hand slipped across my waist, her right arm stayed across my back. Something bumped my leg. I looked down and growled in annoyance.

"What is it?" She asked sounding so innocent. "Your tail." I said, seeing the tip tapping the floor.

"It's quite beautiful." She said, slowly cocking her head, "is it not?"

I glanced at her looking a little displeased, I knew what it meant. "Yes… It is."

It is always good to complement a shewolf on her tail. They take a lot of time and pride in pruning it. It didn't matter what the hair on her head looked like, or wearing no makeup or out of date styles of clothing. Shewolves took pride in their tails.

Angela was no exception, often pruning her tail while she sat on my bed. In the morning before classes, during lunch time and before her evening rounds. Like wolves' ears, tails revealed the shewolves real feelings. Very few were skilled enough to hide them.

"I could kick your ass." I said in a nice controlled tone of voice. But my annoyance slowly revealed itself as I thinned my eyes. She slowly arched her eyebrows, "foreplay?" She gave me her best take me now expression.

I knew for a fact shewolves practice those expressions in the mirror. Once thinking that the bathroom was free I had accidentally walked in on the group of young shewolves critiquing their expressions. And received a well-practiced scowl and growl, that had me slowly backing out the door. Where I stood listening to them giggled.

"No, no…" I said keeping my tone civil. "Ass kicking… You know kicking your ass."

"Prey…" I noticed the difference in the word. Pray or prey. I knew it had nothing to do with a higher being, "tell… Why?" She quickly blinked a few times looking shocked. Not really.

"Your tail." I said.

"It's quite beautiful."

"Yes… You said that."

"So, did you." Her voice spiked like a musical note her cheeks blushed, pulling herself closer and leaned her head against my arm. Her tail slipped in front of me, like a snake.

"I'll step on it." I said with all my confidence. Knowing full well I wouldn't dare.

"Will you rub it to make me feel better." She said, rubbing her cheek against my arm, "or something else." She said looking up at me and winked.

The shewolves tail says a lot even though a shewolf remains quiet. That's why there are classes regarding the control of their tails and ears. A tail curled around another said he or she is mine. Stay away or else.

And here I was standing next to her, on the dance floor, walking off the dance floor with me and her tail was curled around us.

My alpha female had just announced to all the other Alphas and alpha females that I am hers and only hers. She looked at me with her ears pricked tight, eyes shining like spotlights, a tight-lipped smile, gently nodding her head and what would amount to be a declaration of war.

I began to feel an intense killing aura, like two eyes burning not at me but Angela. I took a breath knowing whose eyes they belong too. Andrew was steaming. And Angela knew it.

"I don't care if he's angry." She said, still looking at me like a lover. "You can fuck him all you want." She said, "but… I will bear the pups of our household." She nodded, "that's my promise to you." She grinned. "Whether you like it or not. She said cocking her head and finished.

"By the way…" She said lightheartedly, "the last three songs are up-tempo… So, enjoy." She chuckled, drifting away from me, her tail bumped the back of my leg as she joined her three beta females, who were giddy with excitement.

(you go…Angela)

Mikoto nodded in agreement, her hand trembling with excitement as she took another drink of cold ice tea to quell the burning in her chest.
