Chapter 3

Watching her stalk off behind Finch he can only marvel at the situation that he somehow found himself in tonight under the full moon. The night started off so well with plans for a run through the park followed by a quick fuck when he fucking crashes head first into her, Detective Joss Carter. After the crash he'd taken a look at her and was somewhat reluctant to admit he found her, a human female, very attractive; so much so that even his wolf started to make noise about her smell and looks.

But he couldn't finish those thoughts as a scream rips through the night and they both turn to look at each other before he takes off in the direction of those screams. He can hear her following behind him almost immediately.

The scene he came upon raised his hackles and sent him into a rage as there were three wolves surrounding a teenage boy getting ready, he suspects, to kill the child. He couldn't, no he wouldn't allow that. He would kill anyone who would hurt a child and those images of finding his cub with his throat slit has him charging the two wolves.

Leaping and knocking them both to the side as he tries to clamp down onto the throat of the wolf closest to him; trying to rip his throat out even as the other wolf jumps on his back biting, but he hangs on. He can only hope that the boy is okay until he hears him scream again. John turns to see the third wolf has the boy's arms locked in his jaws.

With this distraction the other wolf attacks as well. Howling in pain and rage John gets his head back into the game as he hears the female arrive on the scene and quickly looking over his eyes go wide as she's jumped onto the back of a full blooded wolf attacking it with a knife. If the howls of pain and rage are any indication she's kicking the wolf's ass. Smirking he turns and quickly rears back tossing aside the wolf on his back and knocks the other wolf over, quickly clamping down onto his throat ripping it out even as the second wolf is attacking.

Quickly he finishes off the first wolf and turns to take care of the second wolf and all he can think of was that this was a damn good way to spend a night, fighting under a full moon with an enemy's blood coating his throat and fur. After the fight he throws back his head and howls in victory and bloodlust and receives the answering howls of his pack mates. Deciding it's time to reach out to his Beta since wolves can communicate telepathically when they change.

Breathing hard he speaks with his Beta, Shaw. "Meet me in the park and bring back up, we have a situation. Get Finch to bring me a change of clothes plus one of the cars. We have a wounded kid who has been attacked by a few of Elias's men. I've taken care of two of the three and the third taken care of by someone whom I assume is the boy's mother", he finishes knowing she will ask a million questions.

"So another wolf took out Elias's man?" She asks curious.

"No, he responds, pauses contemplating but continues, "The woman is human and took him out with nothing but her knife and gun."

"No shit! I've got to meet this kick ass chick that took on a full blooded wolf and lived to tell the tale. Especially one that has you all pissed off if I'm not mistaken." She finishes this as he growls at her.

"Shaw just get your ass over here without the side comments," he says with menace and authority as her Alpha and she quiets down, but he knows it won't be for long.

"Yes Alpha," she replies, and he can just see the eye role that more than likely went with that statement. It's moments like this that he questions what the hell he was thinking making her his beta because she's one pain in his furry ass at the best of times and at her worst just a pain.

Looking up, he sees Shaw wasted no time getting there with a few of his pack mates. She brought several of the larger wolves, who appear suddenly surrounding him and eyeing Joss and Taylor. Leave it to his beta to take no chances where he was concerned although, Shaw alone is enough to deter any wolf that's aware of her penchant for death, destruction, and mayhem - not necessarily in that order. Those thoughts are cut short when Shaw heads towards the human female and her cub he growls out a warning and jumps between her and the she wolf imposing his will against his beta as she cowers below him.

"Shaw," he says telepathically in his Alpha voice because for some reason he and his wolf are feeling really protective of the female and boy but refuse to delve into what that means. "Leave the woman and her cub alone. Stay away from them unless I tell you otherwise. Understood?" He says, always hating when he has to have her cowered below him as much as she hates having him do it. But if not she'd run all over him, not trying to take over; she'd do it simply to piss him off.

"Yes Alpha," she says this time knowing he means business as her tailis tucked between her legs and she's quivering. With one last growl he slowly eases up on his control and turns towards the woman and her son.

He's startled as his fucking wolf purrs. "Ours," he whispers. "No," he replies but his wolf isn't paying him any fucking attention so he decides he better change even though he knows he really shouldn't in front of her; but with the way she's holding that gun the situation could become tense.

So he shifts and her response was not what he was expecting because most humans lean toward freaking out but this woman just starts smarting off at him, which pisses him off even more. It's bad enough his night is shot to hell because of Elias and his men, but add to the fact that because she's killed one of their own she and her son are now in real danger.

Elias would demand vengeance against her and John simply wouldn't allow it, but he'll deal with that piece of shit later. First he needs to make sure the boy gets medical treatment, plus deal with the fact that the boy was bitten. His mother had no idea what that would mean, but he did, and he really wasn't ready to deal with her ass (although it was a very nice ass even if he was reluctant to admit it).

Shaking those thoughts out of his mind he shifts standing before her in all his naked ass glory and can't help but notice her appreciation as his wolf perks up at her attention. Fuck. If his wolf is noticing her, he's in trouble of the mating kind but he refuses to go there ever again. She points her weapon at him asking questions so he decides to answer with his usual smart comment.

"Do you want me to answer that or would you rather get the boy some help?" He doesn't know how but he knows it pisses her off as they go back and forth with the blame game pissing contest because he had a feeling this woman could give as she gets. Watching her turn some of that ire on Finch is really kind of funny until she's once again aimed it at him.

Sighing he watches her walk off to catch up with Finch and he can't help but watch the sway of her hips and the curve of her ass has his wolf purring. "Nice ass all the better to fuck. Nice hips all the better to birth our cubs."

"Enough!" He roars aloud as his pack mates and beta watch him. The pack mates watch him with surprise while that bitch Shaw just looks towards where Joss disappeared after Finch and then, while still in wolf form, shoots him a pretty fucking amazing smirk (not that he'd ever admit to her crazy ass).

Picking up the bag with his clothes that Finch brought him, he quickly puts them on knowing he needs to get on top of the situation and get to the hospital before Elias and any more of his men show up.

"Shaw get changed and meet me at the hospital. We need to be there to meet Elias and his men plus deal with the detective and her son who was bitten," he says the last part viciously; just thinking of someone hurting the kid nearly causes him to shift.

Taking a deep breath he addresses the other wolves. "I want the rest of you to scout the area looking for any signs of any other wolves then head to the hospital in wolf form and let me know if any of Elias's pack show up. Don't start anything without me or Shaw's consent. Understood?" He says softly and they know it's best to follow his orders when he gets this way.

Nodding at their orders they take off and Shaw is suddenly dressed at his side ready to head towards the hospital and possible fight with Elias if the gleam in her maniacal eyes are any indication. He shakes his head once again wondering what the fuck possessed him to make her his beta. Sighing they head towards the SVU waiting at the end of the park as he gets in the driver's side as Shaw rides shotgun and ironically enough reaches for her weapons as soon as they get in. Shaking his head he knows it's going to be a long night.
