Every Rule I Had You Break

I had been sleeping, surrounded by Remus, Romulus, and Shuck, when I heard the door open. I didn't actually wake up but I was close to it. I woke up when I heard someone moving my dogs around.

"Why must you sleep with your three pet dogs?" Ben complained.

"Don't move him!"

"I'm not sleeping in a dog bed." He growled.

I sighed.

"Fine," I gave in, "Shuck, Remus, Romulus, everyone off." All of their heads snapped up and they all hopped off obediently. Romulus was starting to show signs of arthritis so he took a little longer, but Ben was kind enough to help him down.

I curled up comfortably.

"Everything alright?" I asked.

"It's fine." Ben sighed, "We won't be settled before this weekend but we have Charles to help out."

"Why are we going?"

"Because it's personal in a way. They did attempt to take our territory the most recent and Adam isn't going to let it slide." Ben explained.

"And Tolinka is doing well?" I asked, she had recently (as in two days ago) decided to head to Aspen Creek for a bit. Mom didn't like the idea, no clue why since she let me go there, but not my business.

"So I hear." Ben agreed. "Time to sleep, you're not going to school tomorrow."

"Why not?" I asked suddenly, sitting up. Remus and Romulus jumped, Shuck took a little longer.

"Well, you need to sleep and work a little if you want to come with us."

"You and Dad don't trust me?" I frowned, but he couldn't see it. "Fine, we'll see who's laughing tomorrow."

"I'm not laughing; I'm serious!" Ben snapped, "We just wanted you to do a little work."

"Wolf?" I asked.

"Reacting."

"Aaaw, damn! I have to practice again? I know how to change!" I whined. Having such quick Changes is what allowed Charles to do his job the way he did, he Changed in under five minutes sometimes. With my split second Changes I was literally used as a distraction in all senses of the word. It meant I had to practice when someone came at someone else as wolf I literally had to Change and jump in because unless it was female or a particularly low male, one would have little to no chance as a human.

And Dad usually just had me practice because he felt he couldn't trust me to fight without my teeth.

In other words, I was stupid.

Which is lovely coming from your father!

"Just for a bit." He assured. "Then we all talk strategy."

"Can't we just kill everyone?"

"Not all problems can be solves that way." Ben chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah they can."

åßΩ

"I'm done!" I complained, down on the floor of the damned garage.

"You've practiced for five minutes." And completed more than five Changes.

"At SIX IN THE FUCKING MORNING!" I yelled. "Please just let me go!"

"We're not meeting with the others until ten." Ben told me, sitting with Dad.

"Well, great! Why'd you get me up FOUR HOURS EARLY?"

"Didn't realize you'd be cranky." Ben smirked.

"Damn it!" I pulled my shirt on and my shorts. "Good morning to you all." I left.

"Oh, come on, Porsche." Ben blocked my way in the little hallway from the garage door to the kitchen-area.

"No." I pushed him aside. He spun me around and pulled me against him like in one of those stupid movies.

"Please."

"Let me say this again, perhaps you need it slower. I. Will. Not. Go. Back. There." I spoke cooly and pulled away.

Well…no…he let me go.

I stormed upstairs to take a shower.

åßΩ

"Porsche, please don't come." Ben tried unsuccessfully for the last time to keep me away from the fight as Warren, Dad, Mom, Jamie and Darryl got ready. I wasn't considered part of the first six because I wasn't pack, something I was just fine with.

I frowned.

"I know." He sighed. He had been working his butt off to keep me away from this and it just wasn't going to happen.

"I love you, Ben." I whispered, kissing him softly, "But you can't keep me from everything."

"Never thought I could." He smiled a little at me.

"We're ready to go." Mom announced. I picked my keys off the rack and Ben took them out of my hand.

"This, however, is something I can keep you from." He put the keys back and shook his in front of my face. "I'm driving."

"Fine." I grumbled.

The car ride was painfully slow and it was only to a hotel on the outskirts of this pack's territory. We didn't want them finding us before we introduced ourselves. I was upset to find I didn't share a room with Ben, but rather Charles had brought Toli along and I was stuck with her.

Not that I don't blame her for being a little on edge around all of us, but she could be a little…more sociable.

I was in comfortable shorts and a t-shirt I had stolen from Ben's bag when he knocked on the door.

"Hey." I smiled sadly.

"I'm next door." He chuckled.

"Look at how that worked last time." I pointed out and he sighed.

"I know." He just barely touched my face. "Try to bear."

"I will." I sighed.

"Good night." He said before he kissed me. I kissed him back because, as pathetic as it sounds, I was going to be miserable all night without him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and stood on my tip toes, even though he leaned down a bit.

"'Night." I whispered against his lips, my eyes still closed, before he gently pulled away and pecked me on the lips before leaving and closing the door behind him.

"You two are an unusual couple." I had forgotten Tolinka was in the room. She was at the back, watching me curiously. "The way you interact I mean…it's…different."

"We do try to make people enjoy watching us seeing as since we're almost never left alone." I spoke sarcastically.

"I mean…it's like you just…fit."

I blinked.

"Well…yeah…that's how a relationship is supposed to work. If you don't fit it tends to end somewhere."

"Oh…" She sounded mildly surprised and I watched her.

"You…you've only ever had Brian." I didn't mean it as a question but she nodded slowly. "God, you've never…" I bit my lip, "I wasn't really looking for a relationship until the Marrok told me I had to find a mate or possibly die. It was a stupid and harsh sentence seeing as since I'd never had a serious relationship or one that even lasted more than a week. Well…forget a week…more like a day. And then…I don't know. I re-met Ben by running into him as a wolf when I first came back to my parents' house. We…ah…didn't quite see eye-to-eye at that time, but we've sort of worked through it. I mean…we disagree, but he gets that I'm me and he's not going to be able to 'fix' it like he can a computer. I think it's been a lot harder for him, but we're managing. I can honestly say I love him without putting 'I think' in front of it."

She blinked.

"Are you mates?"

"Well…yes…" I began, "No…well…sort of…it's not actually official but the bond is there."

She nodded before speaking again.

"I-I…Brian was my first boyfriend…and we have a huge age gap. I thought he loved me but he lied…mostly. I mean…I don't know. I was never paying enough attention and I got caught up in everything."

She didn't say anymore.

"Yeah…relationships-whether perfect or shitty-are like that." I sighed. "Now rest up, we need our strength for tomorrow."

Underlined = Ben

Underline-Italics = Ben's wolf (which i think i used all of once)
