Jessie woke to a sound. As Mexx entered the cave she smiled in relief seeing he was alright. She stretched with her but in the air and yawned making her way to him. "hey Mexx, welcome home. I'm glad you're okay I was so worried." She smiled seeing what he had brought her. "Mexx, awe your're too kind, you shouldn't have." she said taking them and putting them to the side as she went back to him and ran her head along his symbolizing a small kiss. on the cheek. She couldn't help but fall for him each time he brought her something small or just looked her way. "So, um mating season's here already, hard to believe a year ago we started this pack." she tried to play off the pain as he went behind her and made her lay down beside him. She laied by him and smiled as he pulled his arms around her and pulled her closer.

"I know it's hard, but you know I'm always here for you and you make me so happy Jessie. I'm glad we started this pack and I wouldn't have it any other way. you're- yeah it's- been a year since, and I think we've made a great team." He said off track and stumbling over his words as usual around her. She giggled and snuggled up to him. "You want some?" he asked pulling the berries closer. She took one and smiled giving him the first one, he took it and blushed as their lips touched. Mexx wanted to shiver at the touch, but he didn't want her to know he loved her just yet, not mating season, it was too... normal. He smiled and gave her a berry and smiled.

Jessie felt him tighten and she smiled at him. She hoped he liked her like she liked him. But she was too scared it was just the mating season taking over his body. She tried to play it off as he turned to look at her after they took a break from the berries and laid together. "You're- my best friend and I'm lost without you" he said as she blushed and smiled. "Mexx, you're mine. And I worry when your gone. I cant think of anywhere i'd rather be." She chuckled with him and he pulled her tight.

As she drifted to sleep Mexx heard a noise from outside the cave. He waited till she was fully asleep to go investigate. He silently and slowly snuck away form her loving embrace. He went out side the cave and looked around in the dark night. Nothing seemed off but the bushes to his left rustled. His back arched a bit and his ears went back. His eyes changed to defensive as a wolf emerged in the same style. "what are you doing here?" Mexx growled standing his ground. "I'm just here to check out my competition" he said looking at the old cave "And I have no worries, how many wolves do you have Mexx?" He chuckled knowing no one would join a rejected wolf.

Mexx's hair stood up on the back of his neck, and down his back "I don't need a massive pack to protect me, I can protect myself and my pack, unlike you. I have one wolf who is more loyal then all your men combined." He said as he looked him down. "Why don't you just go back to your pack and leave us be, I'm not trying to start a fight, I haven't seen you since you kicked me out and thanks for that by the way." He said smartly as he turned. "But you come near my family, Ill kill you, you old fur ball." He said as started to enter the cave. "I don't like threats Mexx, I know you have someone in there that I have unfinished business with, so can you send her out?" Mexx turned and growled loudly "You wont touch her you murdering bastard!" His muscles flared as his teeth showed. "Oh come now, no need to fuss, I'll just see her later." The old pack leader flicked his head and turned "See you around, reject." He said laughing darkly disappearing into the shadows. Mexx sighed and relaxed going back into the cave to see her graceful body sleeping in his spot. He sighed, damn woman takes his spot all the time, doesn't wanna share... He laid in her spot and pulled her close and sighed whispering softly. "I'll never leave your sight, I love you and U wont let him or anyone hurt you, you're my everything." He said softly and laying his head on her stomach and closing his eyes and drifting to sleep
