I stood in the airport next to Honey. We were waiting for a man named Ben, he was moving from Britain to join our pack here in the Tri-Cities. I was slightly annoyed because the flight was late and I had to switch shifts for this, I hated night shift. However, Adam had given me an order and I have to follow orders.

I wasn't exactly sure why Adam had told me to pick this guy up, or why he had decided to send Honey with me for that matter. Honey and I get along to an extent, but only because we are pack member. We really couldn't be more different, she was blonde and delicate looking, I was brunette and sturdy. She cared about looks, I cared about personality. We were civil to one another though.

Finally, the doors from the tarmac opened and about 15 people walked in. Because of the smallness of the airport and the little amount of people, I could tell that the blonde man was the Ben we were looking for. I have to admit he was very handsome. In fact, he was the first man that had caught my attention since my change. I really wouldn't mind dating him.

That whole line of thinking was completely ruined after I heard the first sentence out of his mouth. He didn't see me but when he came up to Honey, he said.

"So Adam sent a woman to pick me up." Except he hadn't used the word 'woman', he had used one that was much more rude.

"Do you have a problem with women? Also, I would recommend not using that language around Adam, because he won't tolerate it." I said stepping in front of Honey.

He was startled by that and stared at my eyes, trying to show he is more dominate. The problem is, he's not. Going by pack structure, since I'm an unmated woman, I'm at the bottom. However going by actual dominance, I could be Adam's second. So, he ended up looking down first.

I heard Honey snicker as I turned around and headed to the car. I climbed into the driver's seat, Honey sat next to me and Ben took the back seat. We rode in silence, partly because He was still upset about my being more dominate. Also, though, partly because, I didn't think I was going to like him.

The whole reason he was coming to our pack was disturbing. There had been a series of brutal rapes in London. Guess who the lead suspect was. That's right, Ben. Though I was pretty sure he wasn't behind them as Adam wouldn't let someone dangerous in the pack. It did however speak all kinds of thing to his character that he was even suspected.

After a while, we arrived at Adam's house in Finley. I glanced over to the trailer at his back fence. Mercy was just pulling into her yard; she was a friend of mine. None of the other wolves seemed to like her, just because she is a coyote shifter. I happened to like her though, so I waved.

"Who's that?"

"A friend."

I pushed open the door just in time to see Paul spring at Warren. I was absolutely horrified, as Warren's back was turned to him. See Warren is a friend of mine also, though again, most of the pack didn't like him. This dislike was only because Warren was gay, I mean really, it's his life, leave him alone. On top of that, it is just plain wrong to attack someone when there back is turned.

I immediately grabbed the back of Paul's shirt and pinned him against the wall. Warren turned around and growled at Paul.

"I could have beaten him Tess," Warren said to me.

"I totally agree with you. However, attacking someone when their back is turned is just wrong."

I gave Paul a death glare, then turned back to Warren and continued, "Where is Adam, I need to go. My shift starts soon."
