Chapter Four

Matthias was in a bad mood. He had arrived at the main Snow Dancer den two days ago and he had only seen Azure once. His wolf paced in anger. The blonde submissive called to him in a way that no woman ever had. He had found out from the den's gossip line that she had been on a date with another solider, but it was strictly casual. Apparently his blonde beauty didn't do strings attached. He could change that. I saw the way she looked at me, like she wanted to take a bite. Mathias licked his lips as he scented sea breeze and coolness. It was intoxicating to his wolf.

"No, no, no." Azure all but groaned. The dance was fast approaching and nothing was going right. "A chocolate fountain doesn't go with the theme of a hoe down."

The young female juvenile pouted, but Azure stood firm. I may be a submissive, but I won't melt for a pair of big brown eyes. She tapped her foot a couple of times. "How about we do caramel apples instead?" Interested eyes met hers. "We could also do smores and a chocolate nut mix." The pup, eager not to get into any more trouble as well as excited about the dance, nodded agreement. Azure added the things to her list and made her way to the kitchen. Someone appeared at her side.

"May I walk with you?"

She turned to look at a black t-shirt. Tilting her head so that she almost clicked her neck, she looked into the most beautiful pair of chocolate-brown eyes she had ever seen. I take it back. I could defiantly melt for a pair of brown eyes. She gulped in panic, finding herself unable to speak.

Matthias laughed gently. "I know I'm a little intimidating, but ask Indigo, I'm a puppy really."

Azure felt herself pale, and before she knew what she was doing, she was running away without a backwards glance. Oh god, oh god, oh god! She didn't stop until she reached the kitchen, and pulled herself into the massive walk in freezer.

She was still catching her breath when Aisha walked into the freezer five minutes later.

The older woman simply raised her eyebrow, took what she needed then left. When Azure walked out, there was a hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream waiting on the side.

"Drink that before you catch a cold." The cook looked at her, with eyes that saw everything and gave her a small smile. Azure returned the smile before sipping her hot chocolate. "Oh! This is delicious."

Aisha dried her hands on a towel, and leant her hip against the counter. "Secret family recipe for when there's an emergencies, and you dear, looked like you needed it."

Azure looked down at her drink, guilt and shame filling her. She had run away from a Lieutenant who was only trying to be polite. She felt a little stupid.

"I may have done something really silly." She couldn't meet the other woman's eyes. She heard her sigh, and then the sound of a kettle boiling.

"Finish your drink, and go see Hawke. He asked me to pass that on." She looked up and kind gentle eyes met hers. "It'll be alright."

"That could have gone better." He said aloud, to no one. Matthias ran a hand through his hair, before stalking back to this room. It was practically empty of furniture as it was a guest room. It was only stocked with the basics. Stripping off he stepped into the shower, aiming to wash away what had just happened.

Azure knocked on her Alpha's door before entering. She let her eyes sweep over him as he sat, reading something. Even being in the same room as a man who welded that much dominance scared her wolf.

Ice blue eyes, not that dis-similar to her own met her own. She turned hers away quickly, her wolf not wanting to show any signs of aggression to someone who could kill her so easily.

"How is the hoe down food coming along?"

Azure wrapped her hair around her fingers, playing with it in a nervous way. "Nearly all the meat is marinating. But the chicken order was a little late coming in." She winced as her voice sounded a little high-pitched. She took a calming breath. "Nell roped in some helpers for me, so we have plenty of time to finish of that. I've got some desserts to do tonight, so they set in time. It's just tomorrow where I'll be swamped as there's salad to prep and meat to talk."

Hawke nodded as she spoke. "I'll see about getting a few of the novice soldiers or young submissive to help with that. There's no point asking the juveniles as they'll be too busy getting ready. How are you finding it here?"

"I haven't been here in years. It doesn't really feel like home anymore, but it does at the same time." Azure paled, aware of the fact that she wasn't making sense, but Hawke nodded, again, as if he understood perfectly.

He cleared his throat. "I do have to mention, Azure that it may have come to my attention today that you ran away from a Lieutenant." Hawke leant forward. "If he was acting out-of-order, I need to know."

She gulped, finding it hard to find the words. "Nothing… He did nothing wrong. It's just…" She paused again.

Hawke held up a hand. "Say no more. Just come to me if there is a problem." With that he dismissed her. As she left the room, a flaming red hair walked past, flashing a quick smile before walking into the office, shutting the door.

Sienna slid the lock in place before dropping her trench coat. She heard Hawk's sigh and smiled. Under the coast she was wearing, a matching ice blue bra and panties set, with black trim. Her feet were encased in black thigh high boots, with a wickedly spiked heel. She strutted over to Hawke and eased herself on to his lap, kissing him hard and fast. "You're late for dinner."

Hawke growled and kissed her back, his hands holding her waist. "Pack matters baby. But I'm all yours now."

He stood up and placed her on his desk. Her dark red hair fanned out, like a water fall over the edge. He stripped in a flash, and then went to his knees to kiss the exposed skin above the boots. Sienna's hands went to his hair, pulling him towards her. He laughed gently, letting his teeth graze her tender flesh. He pulled he panties to the side and kissed her intimately, with long cat-like flicks with his tongue.

Sienna's breathing was erratic when Hawke finally stood up. He gently eased her panties off, and entered her with a hard, forceful thrust. They both moaned with please, her legs wrapping around his lean waist. Holding on to her hips, Hawke thrust into her. "Oh Sienna." He moaned her name with pleasure, bending down to kiss her. She met him thrust for thrust, loving the sensation of her mate holding her and loving her. He buried his face in her neck, biting her hard in his favourite spot. She came in an explosion of sensations, crying out his name. He followed a split second later.

Hawke fell back into his chair, taking Sienna with him. He wrapped her up in his arms. "That was a hell of a surprise, baby."

Sienna just smiled.
