Harmonys POV

I have no idea what just happened, within seconds, I heard a ear peircing howl when Carsons lips broke from mine. I felt his arm push me behind him and his body went rigid except the slight shake of anger that another wolf was on his territory. I heard growls errupt behind me as Mike and Keith shot out beside us, running past us to where the sound had came from. I listened to there feet crunching and leaping through snow as more growls and snarls echoed in the air around us.

We stayed frozen, Carson still infront of me, his eyes darting around every few seconds before setteling again in the direction Keith and Mike had dissapeared into. I could no longer hear them, I knew they were gone but we still stayed unmoving. My eyes took in Carson infront of me, though his muscles were bunched in anger across his body, I seen a slight shiver run through is muscles every so often. I knew he wanted to shift and run after them, as Alpha that was his job, it was his territory, well would be before long.

I suddenly felt bad for causing this, if I wasnt here, then he wouldnt have to stay behind to baby sit me, I bet he was hating that. NO matter WHAT we had just shared, I knew enough about him to know that his priorities are pack and territory above all esle, especially his mate. I felt the happiness slip away and the cold began to spread through my body from the snow. A low whimper escaped my lips.

Carson POV

Anger flew through my body, my jaw hurt from being clenched, my muscles shook from the strain I put on them not to shift. How dare a rouge come on my territory, worst, what if I wouldnt of come after Harmony. What if she had been out here by herself. The thought alone made me shiver with a new found fury, I dont know what I would of done if something happened to her. I listened to Mike and Keith as they talked through our pack link. I knew the danger was gone, but I still couldnt move my feet.

Only when I heard a whimper come from behind me did I move. I turned to see Harmony sitting stiff as a rock but her body had slight trembles from the cold. I let myself look over her to reassure myself and my wolf that she was fine, just cold. I felt myself calming down, I let out a snort on how pathetic I was sounding, before I looked back towards the woods to keep an eye on any threat. "Shift." I told her once my face was back towards the woods. I didnt mean for my words to sound so harsh or cold, but the fear and anger still ran through my body.

Harmony POV

Though I knew Carson wasnt exactly happy with having to guard me I didnt expect his reaction to be that bad. His eyes landed on me, black and cold eyes, no longer held the warmth and longing they did moments before. That alone made me want to chase down the stupid individual that had interrupted my perfect moment. His dark eyes trailed over me before he let out a snort of disgust. I felt my heart break into a million peieces. I tried to catch his eyes to see if there was any softness, but he turned back away from me to fast. 'Talk to him.' My wolf was begging me to somehow keep our mate, I opened my mouth when his cold harsh voice stopped me. "SHIFT" it was a demand, nothing else. I probably disgust him. I thought inwardly. No longer having the energy or fight left in me I did what he said.

I let out a low whimper letting him know I was done. He turned to look at me, his eyes were still dark and cold. I felt my body shake with emotions, emotions I couldnt let show. I sat down and looked at him with the same glare he gave me. "Mike and Keith are coming back, they will escort you home." When his words sank in I jumped up and went to protest but all that came out was a snarl. 'Damn no communication!' His eyes met mine, "no arguing Harmony, I mean it, it is not up for discussion." I showed my teeth to display my thoughts, 'that SOB made me shift so I couldnt argue with him!' As if he read my mind he kept talking, "finally no smart come backs, I think I like having a conversation with your wolf better, shes alot more easy to talk to." I let out a snarl and crouched down. 'I oughta..' My thoughts were interrupted when Mike and Keith appeard infront of us.

Carson POV

I looked over Harmonys wolf form, she really was beautiful both ways. I still couldnt shake the thought of something happening to her. Mike and Keith were headed back this way, I called them to escort her home. As much as I wanted to make sure she was home and safe myself, I had to make sure the threat was gone. Mike tried reassuring me it had crossed back across territory lines, but I didnt care, with my mate around I had to be sure. I looked over Harmony again, atleast with her in wolf form she cant argue with me over my actions.

"Mike and Keith are headed this way to escort you home." She snarled at me, I knew she wouldnt like it, but I couldnt let that effect my decision, I was doing this for her, for her safety. I made my eyes hold her gaze, "no arguing Harmony, I mean it its not up for discussion." I felt myself ease when she bared her teeth at me, my mate was one fiesty individual. "Finally no smart come backs, I think I like having a converstaion with your wolf better, shes alot more easy to talk to." I kept a straight face knowing she wouldnt appreciate my humor at her expense. Sure enough she snarled and crouched down looking as if she was going to take a bite out of my ass.

Thankfully I heard Keith and Mike coming closer, I think she was actually going to bite me. I turned to my two betas who were now closing in on us. "Take her home, make sure shes safe." I told them, Mike nodded as he walked up to Harmony. I couldnt help but get jealous as he nuzzled her neck in a reassuring way. I wanted to growl and let him know she was mine, but I couldnt my mind was overloaded and my rage came back in full force.

Anger began to flow through me from so many different directions I felt like my head was going to explode. I shouldnt have turned Harmony away she is my mate, I need her. I cant allow her to be close to me though, today proved that, I chose my mate over my pack, it was a weakness, a weakness I cant afford. Jealousy and rage from Mike and Keith going with her and the rouge that had posed as a threat aginst her, all hit me at once.

I turned to shift but stopped, I looked over Harmony standing snug between my two betas. I knew she would be safe as long as she was with them. "Harmony, dont let me catch you out here again. I mean it!" The thought of her being alone with threats close by made my blood run cold. I tried to hold my anger and worry out of my voice but failed miserably. I seen her head hang and a whimper escaped her lips. I had to go, the longer I stayed here the harder it is to leave. I just want to hold her and tell her everything is going to be okay. With that thought I shifted and ran through the woods, allowing my wolf to take over. The fury flooded through my body, that rouge better hope he is gone or it will be the last thing he ever does.

Harmony POV

His words stung me, he didnt want me back out here? What was I expecting, him to just suddenly decide he wants me? I let another whimper vibrate in my throat as he dissapeared into the woods. I felt Mike nudge my neck attempting to get me to move. I complied with a broken heart and heavy steps, I moved, further and further away from my Mate. Away from the one spot that he had accepted me at.

The walk home Mike nudged and licked me, trying to cheer me up. Even Keith nudged me and let out low whines as he nipped at my ear. I didnt notice, I didnt care, my mate didnt want me. No one would. I must be broken, I feel broken.

Mike POV

I seen the heart break on Harmonys face. I couldnt help but to nuzzle her, the only thing I knew to do for reassurance. It was a silent but sure way to tell her she could lean on me. I hated when she whimpered, I had to control my anger. I wanted to grab Carson by the neck and make him see she didnt understand, make he explain to her and fix it. I have an odd protectiveness over Harmony, I am guessing it is because she is my future Luna, either way, I didnt like seeing her like this.

We walked through the snow Harmony, me at her side and Keith beside me. Through the woods headed back to her house, her mood was even having an effect on Keith. Which surprised me because Keith was always clueless and when he wasnt, he didnt really care, he didnt get mad or excited very often. I guess we both felt her pain and hurt, I wanted to shift back and tell her Carson didnt mean it the way he said it. I knew better then anyone, I felt his fear for her, his protectiveness. Not to mention the mindlink message he sent me threatening to do all kinds of rated R stuff to me if something happened to her. But it isnt my spot to tell her, its his.
