Oh Lordeh

Obviously, I wasn't having a good night's sleep in the state I was, but when I woke up warmer than usual I knew something was up. I blinked the sleep from my eyes and allowed my eyes to grow accustomed to the darkness, but I already knew it was Ben. I could smell him and he was pissed.

"Why is there a dog in the bed with you?" He growled, of course that would be his problem.

"Because he was tired and hurt and confused." I responded. Ben growled louder. "Knock it off!"

"I don't like it."

"I didn't think you would," I rolled my eyes.

"Get him off."

"He's not hurting anyone he's just laying down and sleeping!" I snapped. "You have more than enough room."

"He touched you?"

"Oh my God!" I groaned, "I am fine. You are overreacting! Jamie wouldn't do that sort of thing."

Ben frowned.

"He thinks you're his alpha." He muttered.

"Yes." I couldn't nod bandaged like this.

"Then tell him to get off the bed." He grumbled.

"How about you get on the bed and go to sleep. Jamie will tell us everything in the morning." I closed my eyes.

"Porsche, we don't need him to tell us. Your father managed to make one surrender, told us everything." He paused, "There are more of them."

"More of them? There were a good ten or eleven there tonight!" I hissed, opening my eyes.

"Apparently their leader makes sure to stay separate. There are another good twenty or so."

"Twenty? How the fuck did we not see them?" I jumped, Jamie stirred but didn't wake up, for that I was glad.

"They don't operate in town, they split up. They're probably wreaking havoc somewhere else as we speak." He told me, giving Jamie another glare.

"Damn it." I spat. "Could this get any more complicated?"

"Not really, unless these others are working in another country." His eyes held amusement for just a moment. "I want him off of you."

"He's not on me!"

"Yes he is!" Ben protested.

"He is on my feet, I hardly say that calls for anything." I rolled my eyes. "That is the end of the conversation."

"How's your neck then?" I could tell he was still angry about Jamie.

"Just fine." I replied.

"You should've been more careful." He murmured, softening just a little when I winced as he touched a bandage. "You could've died."

"I didn't, I think it calls for celebration."

"Why did you go off on your own? That is the number one stupidest thing you could ever do! We hunt in packs, you weren't going to find one alone." He looked more upset than anything now.

"I didn't think I'd actually find them." I admitted.

"But you must've thought you had found them when you felt the pack magic, they were on the hunt, why the hell did you intrude?"

"Because I felt like it." I huffed. "It seemed the sensible option."

"Sensible and death are two very different things." He walked to the foot of the bed and moved Jamie just the slightest bit over.

"Obviously!" I snapped, "I know that."

"Then start thinking sense with your head and not with your wolf." He growled. "You could have been dead. How do you know we would've gotten to you on time?"

"I didn't." I frowned, "I winged it."

"Which is not the way this stuff goes!" He hissed before someone opened the door. Mom walked in, looking tired and a little angry.

"She got the point, Ben, no need to make her feel guilty for not hammering out every little detail of her life and writing it down for you." She snapped, "I would like to talk to my daughter alone."

Ben was still angry but he couldn't dispute my mother's implied command to leave. He left the room with another angry glance at me and closed the door behind him.

Mom didn't look at me immediately, the first thing to catch her eye was Jamie.

"You shouldn't have done that." She sighed, "Is that what set Ben off?"

"Yeah."

"So." She shifted a little where she sat on the bed.

"So?" I asked.

"Well, what was your plan?"

"Er…to not die." I smiled sheepishly. "I didn't have one."

"Of course not." She nodded, "Else we wouldn't be here would we?"

"Guess not…" I sighed.

She laughed quietly.

"Well, i thought I'd find them, I didn't think they'd find me first…" I explained. "Of course, they did. I was handling my situation just fine before you guys arrived."

"If you wanted to go against your plan of 'not dying' I would say that you were handling it very well." She agreed.

"Well, yeah." I admitted, "But it wasn't my fault they snuck up on me!"

"No, it was just your fault you were there for them to sneak up on I suppose."

"Exactly!" I huffed, "And Ben is being such a jerk about it."

"He just doesn't want to see you hurt." She pointed out, "I think he deserves some points for that."

"And he deserves some negatives for sending me home." I grumbled.

"I thought your plan was to not die?"

"I know." I rolled my eyes, "But he'd of done it anyhow, he just thinks that I need to sit around at home and let the grown-ups have all the fun. It's my problem and I intend to solve it."

"And just how is this problem yours?" Mom questioned.

"They kidnapped Jamie."

"Jamie is safe." She looked at the wolf who was still sleeping.

"Another day and he might not have been, he is too skinny." I frowned.

"But it wasn't your fault he was kidnapped."

"It's my fault he's been rescued, I'm happy with that."

"It's something to be happy about, if rescuing him didn't involve you almost dying." Mom agreed.

I sighed.

"What are we talking about?"

"You running away to find rogue wolves and coming back half dead with a new wolf by your side and letting the new wolf sleep on a bed in our basement with you until Ben came down and got pissed and stormed upstairs when your mother came in." She answered simply.

"Right."

"I'm not happy with your escaping to find the rogues yourself." She paused for a moment, "But I can't say I'd have done any different, just be careful from now on. And stick to your plan, not dying makes a very good plan, not too much of an argument though." She got up and headed to the door before turning around. "And don't let Ben get to you. He's going to tell you to do things, just ignore it unless it's something you feel is right. And…try not to let random wolves on your bed."

She left and I smiled.

I love my mother.

I don't love my mate right now.

But I love my mother.

I curled back into bed and closed my eyes, wrapping my arms around myself in discomfort. As much as I hated Ben right now, I missed him. I could hear him outside the door, however, so I thought I might as well invite him in. He wasn't going to wait much longer anyways.

"You going to quit complaining about Jamie and get your ass to sleep?" I asked.

He didn't answer, just opened the door and closed it behind himself again, coming over to the bed mumbling about having to share and laying down next to me.

"You going to apologize?"

"Why the hell would I apologize, Porsche?" He snapped, "You're the one who ran away and almost got herself killed."

"I don't see it fit to apologize." I disagreed, "I rescued Jamie."

"You put him on my bed." He growled. That was very true, I had stolen Ben's preferred guest room. "And then got in yourself."

"At least you're in it now." I offered. "And it's not as if we've done anything, he was fed and he went to sleep."

"Did you eat?" Ben's voice became concerned.

"I wasn't hungry."

"You should've eaten a bit." He sighed.

"If you think eating would've lightened my mood enough to apologize you're mistaken."

'That wasn't what I meant, no." He kissed the bandage over one part of the wound gently. "I meant that you wouldn't be as hungry now."

"I'm not hungry." I frowned.

"Okay, you tell yourself that." He murmured. I pressed closer to him and pulled his arm around me tighter. Ben chuckled. "Cold?"

"Too hot." I muttered and he understood.

"Well, if you hadn't gotten injured and you hadn't put Jamie in the bed, maybe we could fix that." You could just hear the distaste in his voice, "However, as it is, you did both of those things and now you're not going to be able to sleep tonight."

"I'll sleep…eventually." I yawned.

"How about now?"

"Mmm…"
