Welcome back everyone! Did everyone enjoy the sequel? Because my muses did!

Addison was directing her varsity team on their final run threw before regionals. If they could kept going they could carry themselves thru the cheer competition and another white gold trophy.

She felt Wyatt before he opened the doors. He was early, she'd been tutoring him after school. It wasn't easy when they decided to stay after their moonstone was recharged, but he did. Addison was there to try and help. She waited for her flyers to safely land in sequence before shrugging off her pink sequin captains jacket.

"That's practice everyone. I think an early practice is a good call after all the hard work you've done. Go get some froyo and we'll meet bright and early tomorrow for warmups."

Addison knew Wyatt was waiting by the door as she hugged her team in thanks for their dedication. She knew it before Bree came up to her pointing.

"Addison, the-" Bree started.

"Yes he is, and until he'd like to come talk to me, he's allowed to watch. Not a closed practice. Besides, today is chemistry tutoring." Addison dropped the jacket on the ground with her clipboard of routines and her coach whistle.

"I just, want you to be safe. I'm worried if Zed got jealous again, it wasn't a good look for him- or for your relationship." Bree shyly looked down.

Addison put her had on Bree's shoulder, looking her in the eye. "Your right, it wasn't. But that's not my problem to sort thru. Go and try and get your lug of a zombie to ask you to Prawn, without crashing it with his friends this year." Addison squeezed her friends shoulder gently and mouthed "I'm safe." Before turning to grab the cones and errant Pom strands left over for junior and varsity practices.

"Addison, are you free to talk? I don't want to interrupt your captain duties." Wyatt smirked, his teasing on full display.

"Your a little early, but you're welcome to pick up pompom strands with me Wyatt. What's up?" Addison never looked up, and was shocked that she backed into Wyatt, she never heard his boots move. He touched her arms, spinning her to face him.

"This is out of character for me Addison, so you'll have to forgive me. I'm offering my claim to you, my wolf sees you as my alpha and both Willa and Wynter have given their blessing to ask you." Wyatt let his hand climb to her neck, his fingers grazing her pulse. "Do you accept my mating claim Addison?" His fangs peaked out from his top lip, his face a mixture of emotions.

"Wyatt, I'm with Zed, happily." Addison pulled off Wyatts hand as a low growl escaped him at the mention of Zed's name. "I appreciate you asking, that's sweet. But I can't be your alpha, I'm not a wolf. Tutor? Absolutely. Cheer Captain? Without a doubt. Alpha? No."

"My wolf knows your my alpha." Wyatt tilted his head to study her face, "I noticed you didn't say you weren't interested." Wyatt leaned in, inhaling her neck. "Which is good because I can smell you are. Every time I sit next to you. Every time you honor Zed by fighting your body-" Addison pushed a hand against Wyatt's chest, he was on fire he was so warm. She was used to Zeds much colder temperature.

"Wyatt, me considering you handsome has nothing to do with betraying Zed." Addison shivered slightly. "Your handsome, this is not news. Even Eliza swore her heart jumped up to one beat a minute when she first saw you. But I love Zed, this is not news either. So thank you, but I'm happy."

"Addison, you could be so much more than just happy." Wyatt took a step forward, pulling her hands in his, his thumbs rubbing the top of her hands, his eyes pleading.

The doors to the gym crashed open with Bree, Bonzo, and Eliza trying to hold back a nearly turned Zed. Eliza was carrying a large book from the library, speed reading.

"Wyatt, I challenge your mating claim against Addison in pack tagedza larbah." Zed's voice growled out the last words as his zombie took over his z-band. He roared a zombie roar, deep and feral. Wyatt's head snapped up and he howled, his eyes blazing blue.

Addison looked at Bree. "I'm sorry Addison, I got scared." She sunk into Bonzo's chest, her cheeks blazing with embarrassment.

"It's okay Bree, Wyatt here was leaving." Addison pulled Wyatt from his howls.

"I can't leave now, Zed threw down a pack challenge and I have to answer or loose my pack. Bet you didn't see that in the book Eliza. I accept." Wyatt called over as Eliza's eyes got bigger and the pages started turning faster.

Zed walked over to Addison, pushing Wyatt with the strength he had borrowed from his monster. Wyatt flew across the gym and landed against a padded wall, yelling as he hit before landing on his feet. His claws shredding the mat to soften his landing.

He bared his fangs and howled at Zed, claws reaching. Addison stepped between them, both hands outstretched.

"Everyone stop. If we are going to fight for me, I'm fighting for myself then. I'm sorry Wyatt, I can't be your alpha, and Zed, I love you but I don't need you to fight battles for me." Addison took a deep breath. "I challenge you both for myself, to do with as l want, to claim who I wish, when I choose- as it should be." She hit both of them on the back of the head. "Now I'm going home before whatever challenge I just threw into starts. You both figure this out." Addison walked past a shocked Eliza who was still flipping pages frantically.

"Can she do that?" Wynter asked quietly from behind the doors. Willa and her were leaning against the lockers waiting in the hall. Addison was so mad she didn't even see them as she ran past.

"She can, if she's an alpha." Wills said, her eyes narrowing. She looked to her brother and signaled for him to join her.

Wyatt saw his sister and started walking past Zed. Zed grabbed him and lifted him in the air.

"You're trying time steal Addison from me? My heart beat? Do you want to see if werewolves can be eaten?" Zed started to fight his z band again, his skin churning between the pale of the electricity and the black throbbing veins of a monster.

Wyatt kicked Zed, forcing him to let go, landing gracefully. Wyatt watched the black start to travel back thru Zeds body without receding. Zed stopped fighting his monster and it took all of Wyatt's strength to tell his wolf to stand down.

"No I'm not. Look Zed, calm down- this all went so wrong. Let's talk when your not so, dead, and I'm not so wild." Wyatt gave him to friendly pats on his head, using his wolf reflexes to get away before running out the door. Willa and Wynter gave the doors an extra slam, bending them in slighting.

"That should hold them for a few minutes." Wynter smiled, proudly.

"So that crashed and burned." Willa said as Wyatt joined her in the hallway.

"I've seen forest fires with more tact." Wynter added, walking two steps faster than normal trying to keep up her alpha and brothers pace.

"Excuse me for getting flustered, I only want to be with her for the rest of my life. And then explain I would become her protector, or yeah, that we think she still is a wolf, or how about that we mate in triads?" Wyatt let his hands go thru his hair. "I really messed this up." Wyatt let out whimper, his wolf hurt and confused.

"Yeah, you missed all of that." Willa just looked at her nails, walking and ignoring her brothers pain. As alpha she had the tough job of making people work for their happiness, even her own brother, even when it hurt.

"Come on Wyatt, lets get you back to the den so you can try and fix this." Wynter offered.
