A ronzo is a thirty-year old dog changeling that came to the club with his best friend, Donas. Aronzo had seen his last girlfriend, Ana, when he entered the vicinity of the club, he'd immediately went in pursuit of her, leaving his best friend to enter the club alone.

He was making out with Ana in the bathroom, almost about to penetrate her when the music suddenly stopped and everywhere went dead silent.

Very unusual for the club. So, he'd gone out to see what was going on, only to see the Alpha King standing at the door of the club, staring at...!

A shiver of cold fear went down Aronzo's back when he realized that the dark glare coming from the Alpha King was directed at his best friend, Donas, and one extraordinarily beautiful small woman he has his hands all over in the middle of the dance floor.

This is not good. This is not looking good at all...!

As he stepped forward into the dance floor Aronzo's suspicions was confirmed at the scent of the woman Donas was holding.

What the fuck!!? The Alpha King's woman! ?

Hurriedly, he walked out of the club, taking several steps away from hearing shots towards the trees. Then, he whipped his hand into his pant pocket and withdrew the old cellphone he'd never bothered to change because they rarely need it here in Naturiah.

The number dialed once...twice... thrice...

It was picked abruptly after the forth ring.

"This better be good, Whoever-This-Is." Came the sleepy grumpy tone of Dogatis, the fifty-four-year-old Alpha Leader of the Dog Clan.

"I'm really sorry for this, Alpha Dogatis, I'm sorry for interrupting your sleep with your mate, but this is so important. It's Aronzo, your sentinel. I came to the club with Donas but something happened!" He whispered intensely, letting his fear and panic show in his voice.

"Shit, what happened? Is it about Donas? What happened?" The rumple of clothes filled the background, which told Aronzo that the Alpha is already putting on his clothes hurriedly.

"Yes. Donas has his hands all over a very beautiful woman here in the club but because he can't scent, he doesn't know that she belongs to another changeling!

Now the changeling is here and things aren't looking good for Donas at all!

The changeling looks like he will kill Donas and chew on his bones for days! "

"Shit! That boy knows he can't scent a thing, he should be more careful, dammit! I'm already on my way, but I need to know more."

"Who's the changeling? Is he an Alpha? Which alpha? Rat? Deer? Elephant?" The dog Alpha let out several strings of curses, "Shit, he'd better not have messed with an Alpha because he might already be in the grave before I get there, especially if the Alpha is already loosing control, dammit! "

Aronzo glanced at the club worriedly, and shifted uncomfortably on his feet. "He didn't mess with an Alpha's woman, he—"

"Arh, he should thank his heavens for that—" Dogatis cut in.

"—messed with the Alpha King's woman." Aronzo finished, dreadfully.

Silence. And then...

" What the hell !!?" Dogatis roared, " WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!? SHIT!! "

"I'm scared for him, Alpha. Please, help me save my friend, I don't want him to die."

"I'm already on my way. Don't go there and do anything stupid, you hear me?"

"Y-Yes, Alpha. Thank you so much, Alpha." Aronzo breathed a deep sign of relief. He'd thought his Alpha wouldn't help because of the male involved. No one wants to tangle with the Alpha King, even when the male is in his best moods—which is a rarity—talk more of the mood he is in now.

Aronzo wiped his sweaty hands on his pants. He only wishes their Alpha will arrive on time, before things get worse for his friend!

Wolfariane never intended to come to this place.

He went for a run in a total different part of town. He ran till he reached the outskirt of the Heart Of Naturiah. But no matter how much he ran, he couldn't shut his mind away from the fact that Ismena is the club being leered at by males.

She carries his scent. No one will dare to touch her .

But, what if someone dares...?

Ismena is too beautiful. What if someone let's go of reasons and touches her...?

What if he kissed her...?

One moment, he was at the wild forest running, the next moment, he found himself running into the Cougar Clan, through the pathway that led to the club.

He was determined to be rational about this, but that determination died a quick death when he arrived at the club only to see a male putting his hands on her.

The wolf was snarling inside him, raging fiercely, wanting to be let loose, but the man held the reins tightly. Mostly because the man himself is riding the very edge of the darkest rage...almost like the one he felt on the afternoon, but different.

His hands curled into fists.

That man has his woman in his arms, touching her body....kneading her ass.

That was already pushing him towards the dark pits when he inhaled...and scented the male's arousal for his woman. His mate. His!

He. Will. Die.

Up until few minutes ago, Ismena was very sure she has seen all the moody faces their is to Wolfariane, but as he stood at the door and fear sizzled down her spine, she came to the realization that this is a face she hasn't seen before.

Oh, he has that 'relaxed' pose going for him. That very deceptive one .

His big body was leaning against the wall now, his arms crossed. But a frown creased his brows together, dominating his forehead. His eyes are a picture of raging blue fire and his lips curved up in a savage snarl as his eyes lowered to Donas' hands on her plump ass.

Ismena was barely aware of what she was doing when she carefully extracted herself from the dog changeling's arms, her wide-eyes pinned on the huge male who has caused the utter silence at the club.

Ismena forced herself to summoned her bravery. Why should she be scared? He's the one that rejected her. And what is he doing here anyway?

"W-What are you doing h-here?" Shit, her voice is slurred. Damn, she's tipsy.

With the fluidity of a big cat, he uncurled himself from the wall and started towards her. His steps unhurried. Slow. Angry. Predatory.

Donas already knew something was wrong when the Alpha King showed up in the club. But when the Alpha King kept giving him killer glares, he'd been confused and very afraid.

That was when he started getting the idea of what this might be...

By the gods, it better not be what he was thinking. Let it not be that of all the single, alone women in the club, he'd handpicked the Alpha King's woman!

His fears was confirmed when he started walking towards them.

"Oh, no..." He cried in horror, taking several steps away from the small woman like he's on fire. "Oh, hell no." He raised his hands in surrender.

That was the pitiful look the other males of the club were giving him began making more sense. Damn, no wonder everybody kept their distance away from the woman !

"P-Please, A-Alpha King, I c-can explain...!" He directed to the male stalking closer to him, fear in the very air he breaths, "Please, I c-can—"

Wolfariane reached him, grabbed him with one hand and lifted him off his feet so effortlessly.

Everybody gasped in horror. He did not spare them a glance.

Instead, he cocked his head to the side, "What exactly do you think you can explain, Dog?" He asked in that deceptive calmness of his, before he flung the dog-male across the room.

Donas crashed into the musical instruments and landed in a heap,with a loud bang that resounded through the very quiet building. Everybody gasped again, but they didn't dare breath out loud. No one wants to be focused on, in a situation like this.

"Jesus!" Ismena shouted, stunned. She covered her mouth with her hands.

Wolfariane wasn't done. He stalked towards the male again, dragged him up from the floor and lifted him off his feet again.

"How do you explain the fact that you were kissing my woman?" Pausing, he added, "How do you explain touching what belongs to me, Dog?"

Ismena began, "But I'm not your wo—"

He spared her a glare.

She snapped her mouth shut.

He returned his fierce glare back to his prey. Raising his other fist, he punched Donas' on the cheek .

Sound of teeth rattling was heard even before his teeth popped out of his mouth and scattered on the floor.

Then, Wolfariane threw him again, this time to the opposite side of the club.

He landed with a crash, groaning loudly as pain shot through him from various part of his body. He began pleading with the Alpha King to have mercy on him.

Ismena couldn't take it anymore, she ran towards Wolfariane and blocked his path, spreading her arms wide in desperation to stop him from hitting the poor man anymore.

"Stop...please. It wasn't his fault! He did nothing wrong! It was my fault!" She cried trying to reach him.

He merely pushed her out of the way by applying a little bit of pressure to his touch on her shoulder. Ismena was too drunk on her feet, she staggered out of his path doing her best to catch her footing so she wouldn't fall.

Wolfariane walked to the dog male again, grabbed hold of his neck and lifted him off his feet again, ignoring the man's pleas, his eyes a dark vortex of black rage. His hands fisted, he raised it to the air again—

"Alpha King, please stop!" The voice of the Dogatis boomed through the whole building as he hurried into the club.

The Dog Alpha's voice gave him a pause.

Wolfariane turned his head towards that voice and snarled angrily. His clawed has slipped out, his eyes amber-gold, showing how close the King-Wolf is to the surface.

Shit! Double shit!

Dogatis warned himself to thread carefully .

He reached close and bowed his head to the Alpha King. "I know that Donas did something reckless and stupid, but please forgive him Alpha King."

"Now why will I ever want to do that, Dogatis?" His voice was deeper,almost an incoherent growl. The voice of man and wolf.

"It is not entirely his fault, Alpha King, as he does not have our sensitive smell. Donas lost his in a climbing accident ten years ago. He has no idea that the woman belongs to you because he could not smell her, or he would never have come close to her."

Wolfariane cocked his head to the side, still glaring at the male he held tightly on the neck, ignoring the choking sounds he was making. His hands bawled into a tighter fist.

Shit. The Dog Alpha tried again, "Please, let him go. He cannot smell a thing. He would have never...EVER...come close to your mate if he had known. Would you have, Donas!?" He raised his voice, directing it to the strangled male.

"No-oo! N-Never!" He gasped, chest weaving.

Finally, he let go of the male, urging himself to calm down. Donas laid on the floor, gasping for breath, blood dripping from his mouth. "Thank you s-so much, Alpha King! Thank you...thank you...!" He gasped repeatedly.

Dogatis let out a deep breath of relief. "Show's over. Everybody get out!" He ordered.

Everywhere scattered with movements immediately. Changelings almost ran over themselves in an effort to leave faster .

Within two minutes, the club was empty. Except for the Alpha King, the dog Alpha, Donas, Ismena, Aronzo, Eline and a few other Changelings that were hiding in the corner.

Wolfariane stepped away from him, blinking hard, trying to control the wolf...to control himself. He was riding on edge.

He has to get away from here before he ignores reasons and grab for the dog male again.

Suddenly, he whirled around and pinned amber eyes on Ismena. He began walking close to her.

"Uhm, wait a moment there." She raised her hands in front of her, palm out as she took steps away from him, "You might not know it, Big Bad Wolfe, but you're scaring the very devils outta me right now." Hiccup, hiccup, "I don't feel so good."

He stopped and glared at Eline.

The cougar sentinel hunched her shoulder in resignation, doing her best to hide her fear.

He said nothing, instead, he continued towards Ismena. Eline didn't feel relieved at all. He will still punish her for her own part in this.

Ismena in her drunk mind, was done being brave at the savage look in his eyes. She whirled around and took off in a run.

But her high heels and her blurry vision was a hindrance. She only took four steps before she stumbled and lost her balance.

In two strides he caught her in his arms and lifted her off her feet.

She began struggling, "Don't hurt me, okay!? You're the one that rejected me, remember? Are you a-angry at me!? I didn't do anything w- wrong! Let me go! Let me go!" she struggled with all her might, but it was like trying to move a wall. And the look in his eyes.

She went wet in her secret places, even as it literally freaked her out. "Oh, my God, somebody heeeeeeelp!" She screamed, kicking her feet vigorously.

"Quiet." One word said calmly, but it sounded like tornado to everybody's ears.

Ismena stilled instantly, knowing when to pick her battle and when not to. This is most definitely not a good time to pick a battle with him.

He inhaled deeply. And, frowned deeper.

"You smell like him." He snapped angrily. His eyes yellowed the more.

Turning around he glared daggers at the male in question.

Donas shrank away from that glare and hid behind his Alpha.

With a growl, he veered around, matched towards the door of the club and out of it, with Ismena wrapped tightly in his arms.

Silence descended in his wake.

Then, Dogatis spared Donas a glance, "You, young man, should go and thank whatever stars are watching over you from the sky that you only said goodbye to your teeth this night, and a few ribs....not your life."

"Well, how was I to know she was already taken?" Donas grumbled, then winced. His mouth hurts.

Dogatis shook his head, "The devil must be beating the drum of doom on your behalf. That is the only explanation why all the single females in the club didn't catch your eyes except for the only Forbidden Fruit. "

"My back hurts." Donas added.

The Dog Alpha stared out towards the empty door, "But damn, that girl is in for a wild night of tangling with a possessive Alpha beast. I hope she is ready."

"But he w-wouldn't hurt her, will he?" Eline asked, worriedly, looking out of the door they just walked through.

"Oh, he wouldn't hurt her. At least not in the way you're thinking, young cougar." He conceded, "Trust me, I am mated, so I know exactly what I see."

"What do you see?"

Dogatis glanced at the door the Alpha King just walked through with his wildfire of a mate.

"I only see a male who has reached his limits.

An Alpha male who wants to claim what belongs to him.

I just hope the small human female is ready for tonight.

..and for a man like him who is not just an ordinary Alpha male. "
