Chapter 37 ~ Protection
Izabella
I heard yelling come from downstairs and raced out of the room just intime to see Zarina turn around. Lena’s wolf Nia was had shifted and was going to attack Zarina but before I could shift, an immense power radiated from Zarina, and I heard her speak but it was not her own voice. I knew in that moment that Ivory was in control, and I was so stunned at the amount of power she controlled that I could not move because I felt her command to stop as well.

I was watching as the pack warrior left to head out to patrol when Titan spoke.
“There is something wrong we need to head inside!” He sounded panicked
“What is wrong?” I asked
“I do not know but we need to hurry.” He ordered
I was about to reply when I heard yelling from inside the pack house, but I could not make out what was being said. Then I felt it that power again and I turned and ran toward the pack house. There was only one person who I knew that had this much power radiate from them. When I entered the pack house Titan took over instantly at the sight before us and shifted.
Ivory
The wolf still did not shift back into its human form it did however start to cautiously stalk toward me when I did not shift to defend myself.
“I will not say it again!” I growled, “SHIFT BACK NOW!” I ordered
The wolf growled and was about to lunge at me when a large black wolf jumped in front of me to defend me and I smiled. I was focusing so much on the wolf in front of us that I did not notice the power that radiated nearby until… Titan landed in front of us I spoke through the mate bond.
“Hello, my love thanks for the assist.”

Titan
“Stand down NOW Nia!” I ordered
“But Alpha why are you defending a rouge wolf?” She growled
“This is not a rouge she will be one of our pack members by tomorrow night. Now shut up pup.” I ordered
“But Alpha…” She tried to speak
I growled in warning and Nia whimpered in fear as I spoke to Rin through the mate bond.
“Not a problem darling but why did this happen?” I asked Rin
“I do not know I was just heading up the stairs when she started screaming at me wanting to know who I was.” I paused, “I ignored her and tried to head upstairs to your sister because I did not want to be late, and I told her to ask you she shifted and went to attack me.”
“Ok why did you not shift?” I asked
“I did not think it was wise until after last night’s dream to shift until after the Luna ceremony I did not want to lose control again and possibly kill her.” She advised,
“That makes sense ok.” I spoke calmly
“Oh, but I might still if she does not fuck off right now!” Zarina growled
“I will stop her do not worry my love.” I spoke through the link
She sighed in frustration but agreed.
“Now that I know what happened I would like you to go with my sister who is behind you on the stairs to the office and I will deal with this situation, and I will be there shortly sweetheart.” I advised

Zarina
I took back control closing my eyes and turned to look I smiled when I saw Bella behind me.
“Hey Bella lets go to the office I hear you needed to see me.” I spoke
I walked toward her and hugged her she hugged me back and pulled away to look at my face with concern in her eyes.
“Are you ok?” She asked
“Yeah, I am fine.” I paused “Just some trash that needs to be taken care of Zander said he would oversee it.” I smiled
I walked away and headed in the direction that Zander said to go earlier before that bitch got in the way.

I looked over at my brother and sent a pack link to him.
“You got this brother?”
“Yes, just go with Rin and make she is ok go distract her to get her mind off of this and I will be there shortly.” He advised
“Ok Alex, I will see you soon.” I smiled
I headed toward the office to find Rina

Titan
“Now do as your future Luna ordered and SHIFT BACK NOW!” I growled
“I am sorry Alpha.” She whined, “I will shift back now.”
As I watched her shift back, I contacted the guards.
“Come and get Lena at the pack house and bring her to the dungeons she needs to be punished.”
Once she was naked before me two guards walked in and grabbed ahold of her.
“These guards are to take you to the dungeon so I can punish you later for what you have done later.” I paused, “I have a meeting to attend first.”
“No please do not do this Alpha I did not know she was your Mate and the future Luna I would not have done this if I had known.”
I stopped before I left and looked right at her I growled.
“Fine I sighed but you need to apologize to your future Luna Zarina and ask for her forgiveness or you will be punished.” I ordered
“Yes, Alpha she bowed her head.
“They will also be your personal guards for the next two days until after the ceremony tomorrow as I do not trust you not to interrupt the ceremony.” I growled
“Release her she is free to go for now.” I advised the guards
“Yes Alpha.” The guards spoke
They dropped her on the ground releasing her.
“Guards keep an eye on her and make sure she stays out of trouble, and I want you to escort her in front of the female Delta and the future female Beta and Luna in an hour we will be up in the pack office for the next while.”
“Yes Alpha.” they spoke
They all bowed their heads and left as I watched they all walked away toward her room in the pack house so she could get dressed I presume. As I watched her go, I asked Alex.
“What did we even see in her?” I asked
“I do not know.” He paused, “I do not even know why we were even attracted to her at all before now.” He spoke
“Let’s go find our mate and Bell.” I spoke
I turned to walk in the general direction of the office when Alex spoke.
“We should probably hurry so they do not have time to conspire against us.” He laughed
“Oh shit.” I spoke
I ran toward the office.

Zarina
I walked into the office I stopped in my tracks Bella ran right into me because I stopped so suddenly.
“Ouch why did you stop walking all of a sudden?” Izabella asked
I walked the rest of the way into the office and Bella looked at me with concern.
“Oh, sorry I am fine I was just shocked with the mess I was not expecting it.” I spoke
She looked around and laughed.
“Oh, that is just my process, but it is not so much of a mess.” She paused, “We are just waiting on Rosa to arrive with Dixon and then we can get the planning under way.” She smiled
“What planning?” I asked
Rose walked in and spoke.
“So, you can become Luna of our new pack!” she paused, “What happened downstairs I heard a commotion?” She asked
“Oh, Rose, I missed you.” I smiled
I ran over to her and gave her a big hug.
“Rina… I cannot breathe.”
“Oh, shit sorry sis.” I spoke
I pulled away and smiled at her and she laughed.
“Remember I told to be careful you are a lot stronger than you used to be.” I nodded in understanding
“The commotion downstairs was just a female trying to attack me because I refused to tell her who I was and ignored her.” I paused, “Zander is overseeing her.”
“Ahh ok that bitch better not try anything like that again.” She growled
“I agree with Rosa no one attacks my sister in-law and future Luna but let’s get the planning underway.” Bella smiled
Just then Titan came racing down the hall and stopped in the doorway and everyone looked over staring confusion on their faces.
“Why are you still in wolf form? I asked aloud
“I needed to get to clothes so I could shift back.” He spoke through our mate bond
“Bella, do you have anything he could change into?” I asked
“Hmm I have something that will work perfectly.” She smiled mischievously
Bella went and grabbed a bag to give to Titan and he carried it with his mouth into another room to get dressed.

I had just shifted back and closed the door to the room next door to the office and opened the bag to get dressed I opened the bag and growled.
“What the fuck IZABELLA!” I hollered
~
Zarina
“Now that he is gone to get dressed how about we start to discus tomorrow night.” Bella spoke
I was about to answer when I heard Zander yell at Bella from the other room and he stormed over dressed in the outfit she gave him I presume. We all took one look and laughed.
