Toying Alpha Chapter 1: Feral Energy
"Woo! Get him Jamie!" "Tap out man! Tap out already!" "I can—I can take her!" "Of all the days you choose TODAY to be stubborn!? Did you forget what's happening tonight? She's gonna rip your throat out!" "I can still–hrk!" Jamie snarled lowly as Brandon just kept on talking big, despite the fact she had him on the ground in a choke hold. "Tap out!" she demanded but Brandon was almost as stubborn as her in all the wrong ways. "Never…!" he wheezed. "Then you can pass out!" "Alright! I'm calling it, both of you, out." "What?!" Jamie released her hold on Brandon who rolled over and started to cough. She looked to her dad as he blew the whistle, giving her a look. "You know the rules I gave you if you were gonna fight today. No maiming, no clawing, and no prolonged suffocation. This is sparring, not a cage fight. Now on the bench." Jamie groaned before dragging herself over to the bench, watching some of the pack haul Brandon to the other, keeping their distance. She didn't bla
Toying Alpha Chapter 2: Oh, Poo–Poodle?
Jamie did make it back before too much time passed and she missed her own Shifting Ceremony, so take that Sarah! She could be responsible, when she needed to be anyways. She was still full of energy, and at this point, Jamie knew she was a lost cause. "Only 30 minutes to the Ceremony. You sure are cutting it close, Jamie." "Mom! Well, I can afford to be a little late. I'm the only one shifting this month." Jamie grinned sheepishly while her mother shook her head in fondness. "Even so, your father and Gabriel put a lot of effort into this for you since they know how important it is to you." "There's not that much to do," Jamie mumbled, cheeks flushing slightly, but she was horribly pleased. "Maybe so. Now, you have a bit of time left, go change out of those dirty clothes." Jamie didn't argue. She wasn't the only one keyed up and raring to go. "Alright, I'm going." Jamie quickly jogged back to her house to do as told. While their territory was rather large that meant nothing if
Toying Alpha Chapter 3: Collared
It was 11:00AM, and Jamie was still trying to smother herself into her pillow. Unfortunately, despite the existential crisis she was currently suffering through, Jamie had no intention of dying so easily and giving the pack more reasons to talk. And God did they talk. Three days had passed since her disaster of a Shifting Ceremony. Yet, if anything, the pack only got louder, wanting her parents to give them answers, an explanation, anything at this point about what it meant for the pack. Jamie didn't exactly blame them; this wasn't exactly normal, but could they not back off for a moment? They weren't the ones who had their life turned upside down, shifted for inches to the left, with everything burning down on top of that. There was enough vitriol with what was coming out of their mouths about her to keep that fire going. No one would shut up about her...her canis syndrome. There was no rhyme or reason to it. It seemed to hit randomly, and you never knew who had it until they sh
Toying Alpha Chapter 4: Beta be Trying
Watching her 'new pack alpha' interact with her parents while completely ignoring her made something bitter settle in the pit of Jamie's stomach, her teeth aching but, she just worked her jaw and tried to keep her temper under control. Logan smiled at her father like he was an old friend, going on some spiel about her fitting right in with the others and reassuring her parents she'd settle in easily. As if he knew anything about her. Jamie Westbrook was ANYTHING but easy. Her sparring partners could attest to that, and she was not about to make it easy for him either. New pack, new alpha, or not, it would take more than a nice smile and empty platitudes for her to 'settle in' with strangers. All things considered, Logan was downright professional as he interacted with her father and mother, the only thing she could appreciate about him. Not just anyone could be the alpha. You had to be strong and capable and while being fight happy wasn't frowned upon, a level head was definitel
Toying Alpha Chapter 5: A Pack of Doggos
It was a relief to all of them when Logan stopped driving, arriving back at the territory. Andy and Valerie were quick to scramble out of the car and Jamie might've felt guilty except she really wasn't. There hadn't been a shred of empathy for her situation, so she wouldn't bother showing any for their discomfort. "Well, welcome to the Northeastern Pack. You'll love it here." Logan jumped out of the car, grinning playfully, and Andy cut him off from his approach. "Uh, yeah, about that…" "So....we got off on the wrong foot. I'm Valerie Travers, I've been with the pack for four years. We're about 60 miles to the East and 10 miles up from your Western pack, and we're 'bout…25 strong." "Bit small," murmured Jamie, looking around at the pack community. It was smaller than the Western pack, but the buildings were well maintained, and there was a rather pristine medical building as well. There weren't that many people milling about, maybe two kids that hadn't had their first shift, the
Toying Alpha Chapter 6: Teeth and Fangs and Claws
Inexplicable rage was not usually the emotion Jamie felt herself swamped with. Normal rage? Sure. Irritation? Oh, almost a day couldn't go by back home without someone doing something stupid. But inexplicable rage? Or, maybe not so inexplicable, but Jamie was finding it rather hard to put into words just how p*ssed she was at the sight before her. Not at the packs shifted forms. No, she'd never judge that when she was reproachable enough to have a toy poodle as her form. She would never scorn another for being a Malamute, beagle, Schnauzer, Pomeranian or otherwise. What had her seething was the absolutely gigantic WOLF standing where Logan had just been. Not a Shiba Inu, not a Husky, but a true-blue blood wolf. It made no sense. Why was Logan the alpha when he most certainly didn't have Canis Syndrome? Why was he the alpha when he couldn't possibly understand? Questions without answers and Jamie realized with a sinking feeling that made the anger burn hotter that Logan still
Toying Alpha Chapter 7: The Blood and Bones of Questions without Answers
"Ah!" Jamie gritted her teeth as Andy poked and prodded the area around her shoulder and collarbone, also pressing against her ribs. Valerie had left her to the pack medic's tender mercies, but he sure as hell wasn't tender. "I have to say, that punch was impressive." Jamie did a double take, looking at Andy, waiting for the rage, but he lacked anything of the sort. All he seemed was amused."I punched your alpha." "Yeah, and it was glorious. He hasn't had anyone challenge him in a while. He was starting to get cocky, so good on you for putting him in his place." Jamie blinked, staring as Andy bustled about for a few more tools, shuffling through bottles of medicine. Now that the anger wasn't so front and center, she was able to think more clearly, and this was not usually how a fight with the alpha went down afterwards. "Why are you helping me? I thought you were the pack beta." "Uh, yeah? And the medic? It's kind of my job?" "I mean, usually the pack beta's on the alpha's si
Toying Alpha Chapter 8: The Lines of Expectation and Reality Blur
Once more Jamie found herself in bed at 11:00AM, smothering herself with her pillows. Only, with her broken collarbone and arm sling she couldn't lay on her stomach and had instead thrown a pillow over her face. It wasn't as effective, but she'd take what she could get. She'd woken up in the cabin. After Valerie had brought her back last night neither were in the mood for talking and had gone to sleep. Now the other was avoiding her. Jamie didn't blame her. It's not like she'd done herself any favors attacking the alpha, insulting him, disrespecting him, and a whole lot of other things that would usually be grounds for being tossed out. In her father's pack, people were friendly with him and joked around, but they knew not to go too far, knew that some topics were off limits, and deferred to him properly. She was way past too far after last night. Jamie groaned, almost rolling onto her side before she grimaced, the left side of her body twinging in pain. That was the other reason
