8. Its wild out here!
Gemma
It was early afternoon when Wade suddenly froze in his step. He was quiet for a long moment and then turned to her urgently. She could see he was worried as he glanced around them. Then he started pushing her towards a large tree with his nose, his sense of urgency urged her to move towards the tree as fast as she could.
Then he indicated that she climb the tree, pointing his wolf nose up at the tree. Obediently, she started climbing the tree, grateful that her sneakers had a good tread and that she had grown up a tomboy. Wade watched her until she came to the third big branch and then spun round and growled as two other wolves suddenly appeared out of the woods.
The two males were dirty and their clothes looked like they’d donned rags. They stared at him with speculation, then sniffed the air and looked up into the tree. They caught her fearful gaze in between the leaves and sneered lasciviously.
“Come

The Commander's Match 9. What's going on?
Dale He was sure they were gaining on the human and the rogue, their scent was stronger and his wolf was getting excited at the prospect of seeing his mate again. Dale was still at odds with himself and his wolf, since he didn’t know what to do once he found her. His opinion on her had been changed somewhat with being on her trail, but she was still painfully naïve to follow a rogue when she didn’t know what he would do. Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by a squeal of fright and his first reaction was to run at full speed in the direction it had come from, but then he stopped short. What the hell? What was going on? He stood in a small natural clearing with one dead and drained rogue and the scent of a vampire along with the rogue she had been following. He followed the trails and what he could deduce was that the rogue she was following had led her towards the large tree, which she had climbed, but then the vampire scen
The Commander's Match 10. New Adventures
GemmaWhen the trees thinned out, Charlie finally put her down, but her legs were still wobbly from the speed at which they had travelled. They kindly waited a moment for her to catch her breath and find her strength again, then Wade nudged her hand with his nose and pointed his nose to her bag.She guessed he wanted the clothes and she took the bag from her shoulder before she opened it and took out his clothes. She had just stood straight and held the clothes out to him when she heard the bones snapping into place a moment before he stood naked in front of her again.“Geez! I wish you’d warn a girl before just flashing me like that!” She retorted as she turned her head away to stare into the trees as her cheeks warmed with embarrassment, only hearing both males chuckle at her bashfulness about his naked form.Charlie picked up her backpack and hung it over his shoulder before he held his arm to her, putting her
The Commander's Match 11. Walking Joke
Gemma Early the next morning she took a quick shower before dressing in the new clothes that fit surprisingly well, considering that Charlie had not asked her sizes. They ate the croissants for breakfast and then headed off. Charlie was still being the gentleman and holding his arm out to her, which she accepted, and Wade still glancing around like he expected danger to come at them any moment. Charlie and Wade insisted that to throw off their followers they should take random streets so they did not know which way they were going. Gemma knew better than to disagree, since they obviously have more experience evading asshole wolves than she did. They finally reached the train station by midafternoon and Charlie again insisted on buying the tickets while she and Wade waited outside the station. Charlie returned soon after with a smile and said they had about two hours to wait for the next train. “Let’s find some place to eat lunch? I need to make an urgent phone call.” She sugg
The Commander's Match 12. A Step Behind
DaleEarly morning they showered and dressed in a spare set of clothes. Then he allowed his wolf to come forward just enough so he could scent his mate with ease. The trail was fresh, but when they came to the door of the room, he knew without a shadow of a doubt that they were no longer in there.They had somehow left the room before he and Grant had left theirs. So they went downstairs and asked the preppy young woman if she knew anything about their room number. She was very forthcoming with information when Grant smiled at her and told her the sob story that he was trying to find his sister.She actually believed him and informed him that they had paid and left that morning, so waiting at the place would have been wasted effort. She did have some more information, telling them that the three had seemed friendly and unharmed, probably in an attempt to soothe Grant’s worry for his ‘sister’.Then they ended
The Commander's Match 13. Conversations
GemmaShe looked up at Charlie and realized the time had come to play open cards with them, especially if they had no intention of going their separate ways. So she took a deep breath and started with the sad story of her life, sometimes through tears and sometimes with anger for what the wolves had done to her. By the time she was done, Wade stared at her like she’d grown a second head and then gave a slow grin and Charlie chuckled.“Let me get this straight. You managed to create a coup on the pack without a single act of violence? This is priceless!” Charlie cooed with delight.Wade scratched behind his ear for a moment; it seemed to be his way of showing that he had something important on his mind. “A...Gem, you won and lost, there.” He finally grunted out.“What do you mean?” She asked with a frown of confusion.“The owner of the pack lands is the a
The Commander's Match 14. Learning a new way
DaleRealizing that they would spend the entire morning negotiating with his small human that insisted on challenging everything he said, he decided to save them all the frustration. He was too tired, hungry and annoyed to attempt negotiations. Not to mention that they didn’t want to draw more attention than they already had, herding his human around the corner and into the alley beside the station.Pulling out his tranquilizer pistol, he loaded and shot her in the arm. They could have these discussions at the pack, where they had time and he had probably rested some to deal with her fighting everything. And perhaps they could have a little more privacy to discuss these matters where everyone was not involved.She glanced down at the dart and then glared at him, but he could already see the sedative set to work on her, despite her pulling the dart out. “Was that necessary…?” She slurred out a moment be
The Commander's Match 15. Springing the prisoners
GemmaWhen she woke up again, she felt much better, aside from the fact that she had a headache and had to pee really urgently. Nonetheless, she sat up gingerly, unwilling to have the same happen as the last time she woke up.“Whoa, where do you think you’re going?” Grant spoke up from the chair next to the bed. He sounded sleepy and when she glanced at him she realized that he’d fallen asleep in the chair next to her bed.“I need to pee!” She squeaked urgently as she threw her legs over the side of the bed, only to find Grant standing ready to catch her. “I’m fine…” She retorted indignantly.“You forget I picked you up the last time you woke up. You scared the crap out of me.” He answered in a voice so sincere, she stopped and stared for a moment, but then remembered that she had to pee like yesterday.He caught her arm and guid
The Commander's Match 16. Conundrum
DaleHe’d spent the night at her bedside, sleeping with his head near her hand so he could breathe in her scent. He’d slept surprisingly well despite the creak in his neck the next morning, but she was still not awake and he had to get to work.Elder Stuart had him work with setting the pack to rights, since he was mated to the new Luna of the pack, so the transition of him taking over would be smooth. Well, it would be smooth around the pack; his mate was another matter altogether.Grant had told him that he would keep watch over her; personally he just thought the loafer wanted an hour or so of extra sleep. But he agreed, knowing that Grant would keep her safe. He went first to the apartment where his mate had slept before; he could only sleep when he immersed himself in her scent. So he’d moved his bag there and quickly took a shower and brushed his teeth.He had breakfast and checked that training was go
