Nexo POV
There laid instead of Zen a light honey brown dragonet (hatchling) with green spines and green accents it gave a yawn and looked around the room. Briar tried to reach and hold him but he quickly scampered away from her and under the bed earning a chuckle from Ben.
"Bri ya know he won't let you near him well any of us for that matter but maybe Nex Zen sees you as his mother so he might let you near" Ben glanced from under the bed to me.
I gave a shrug and sat down beside the bed I reached out to Flower knowing she will help me out. Small horns poked out of my hair my ears pointed my canines sharpened and small claws came to my hands. Giving a small purr I looked under the bed to see Zen curled in the far corner shaking. I'm guessing his dragon saw Flower and knew who we were cause he scrambled over to my lap. I smiled and held him close keeping him calmed as much as he could he gave a small squeak well mix of a squeak and yip.
"What is it buddy," I asked him smiling
He pressed his head to my hand purring he rolled over on his back giving a flick of his tail flicking. I looked at him confused he rolled back over and started to paw at the material of my black shirt.
"Young hungry" Flower rumbled in my mind
"Oh thanks, I was getting really confused soooo….how do I actually do that," I asked
"You can feed him like a normal human would feed a newborn or I can feed him in dragon" Flower explained
"Okay," I answered and looked at Zen who was whining pawing at my shirt.
I looked up at the others "guys mind doing me something for me"
They nod "sure" Briar and Hazel answered together
"What is it," Ben asked keeping an eye on the outside.
"Hazel help me to the cave Briar you and Ben go and act like you were wondering the forest and you to see me as the dragon. Then you see little Zen and tell the alpha of the news so no one suspects a thing." They nodded
Hazel grabbed my satchel putting in some clothes water bottles and some rags she handed me an extra satchel. I put on the empty and larger satchel and squeezed Zen into it and we were gone.
Hiding the satchels I set Zen on the ground as I shifted Hazel left once everything was done I let Flower help me on what to do. Flower, as well as Sapphire, were purring in our mind happy our pup dragonet whatever grew up. With a flick of my ear hearing paw steps nearing Flower beamed on edge. As we planned the alpha Lance beta James and Bens dad gamma Dane with a few warriors. Along with Briar and Ben in the group. I watched closely seeing the hatred in James eyes and half the warriors making my silted pupils turn to black lines in my bright blue eyes.
"Do not attack" the Lance warned
"Why shouldn't we she is weak right now she will drive the animals away and starve us" snapped a warrior
Now all the warrior's agreed quickly James looked pleased and Dane noticed and snarled at him.
"You, you're the one planting it into their heads she will being the worst what if it was Serra and Vivian you wouldn't think twice about protecting them" Dane snapped at the beta
Soon enough James had Dane pinned snarling teeth bared his claws digging into his fur I nudged Zen to behind me and picked up Briar and purred her with Zen. I stood head lowered due to one the cave and two things might get messy. Walking over I snarled making him jump as I easily tossed him off Dane but I made sure not hurt him maybe a sprang paw.
I watched as he watched me snarling but the one thing I did not notice was the glazing of his eyes. The sound of a yelp echoed through the stone walls making my head snap back the scene had me scared shocked and purely pissed off the no end.
There stood three warriors to pinning down Briar one black and tan the other gray while a tan wolf held a struggling Zen by his scruff. Now we were all here me Sapphire and Flower looking at James who had a smug look. He walked behind a stone shifting back coming out with shorts on.
"Got you now" he smirked I lost it
All I saw was red I flung him out of the cave and into a stone or tree outside the cave turning I faced the three wolves. Let's say they looked terrified stalking closer I knocked the two off Briar. Facing the gray wolf I reached his neck in my jaws he dropped Zen but Ben got over in time to catch him. With that, I clamped my jaws shut raking the wolves head from his body letting his head hit the ground I tossed the body to a wall hearing sickening sires of cracks. I needed to calm down but Sapphire and Flower would not until we had the sick bastard's blood and I am not going to hurt Vivian and Serra.
I forced myself to take control as my bones shifted back painfully from the force once human Ben handed me Zen and put a blanket over my back.
I heard the sound of the others shifting back as I kept my back to them I checked for any wounds or injuries. I only found a few minor scratches and a bruise now I want to bring back that wolf and kill him again.
"Nexo?" That was Lance the alpha I sighed
Ben took Zen from me as I put on some clothes behind a stone once down I quickly took Zen back in my arms as he woke to cry.
"Briar thanks for keeping him safe" I hugged my friend
"It's no problem Nex " she smiled
We turn and faced the group my head slightly bowed not know what will happen I did my best to stay calm.
"Nexo lift your head" Lance sighed I lifted my head.
"you are not going to get in any trouble we understand you thought we would think the worst but. You will get alpha training do to your dragon did ya think I didn't notice you were a fast learner." I nodded with a small smile
"And for those who attacked Zen and Briar", he looked at the dead gray wolf and then the black silver wolf and tan and brown wolf.
"Hold him for a second" I handed Lance Zen and I walked to the two males.
"Shift" I put every ounce of dominance anger and venom in my voice
The lowered their heads and shifted back without a word I stood there my face holding no emotion. The calm before the storm. Without a word, my right fist reared and hit square on the guy with dirty blonde hair the tan wolf he skidded to the cave wall. Turning my burning gaze to the second guy I yanked a handful of his hair.
"Never. Hurt. My. Friends." I spat and sent him back with a left punch to the cheek.
Taking deep breaths I turned and faced a smug looking Ben and Briar but scared shitless warriors and a shocked alpha. I walked back over taking Zen back into my arms he had calmed down and was snuggled into the shirt I was wearing.
"James will be taken to the dungeons after seeing the pack doctor and I want everyone to meet in the packed house." He ordered "any of you have a problem with Zen and or Nexo here I think she will be glad to deal with you as you saw" Everyone nodded and we headed back.
