"Just rember the rules for now and things will go smoothly." He grumbled, glaring at . Sothing in just snapped. I couldn't hold back anymore, Alpha or not. I had been hearing this kind of bullshit from Grandfather my whole life, I didn't need it from him too.

"And what rules would those be?" I asked, sarcastically. "Bow down to your every whim, have no say in my own life ever again, beco nothing but a piece of property like the furniture?" I asked. He grinned at , but it was not pleasant at all.

"You've got a rebellious streak, don't you?"

"What was your first clue?" I asked him. "Was it the first, second, third, or fourth ti I tried to run away from you? Or did it take you until right now?" I couldn't control my tone. My attitude was leaking out. The one I had worked so hard to control for years when dealing with Grandfather. I thought I could use the sa disciplined strategy to deal with the Alpha, but I was having no luck there. I saw his smile widen and an evil glint enter his eyes.

"Take care how you talk to , I don't like that tone with most people. I will overlook it for now, since your life is changing completely, but I will not overlook it forever." He was growling at as he spoke, a deep rumble low in his chest, but for so reason it didn't frighten as much as it used to. I was still scared of him, definitely, but I was not going to cower forever. If I was going to survive in this house with him, then I had to show my backbone sooner or later.

"Or what Reece? You'll get rid of ? Please do it. I dare you. Either you'll end up mateless and have to step down as Alpha and watch soone else run the pack in your stead, or you'll end up just as banished from the territory as I will."

"Where did all this newfound confidence of yours co from?" He asked .

"It's always been there, but I was just too shocked over the events of the last few days to truly be myself." I answered.

"Hmmm." He seed to hum in response to my answer. "No matter, just do as I said and follow the rules, Bunny." There he went with that annoying nickna again.

"Once again, I am not a Bunny." I growled at him. For soone without a wolf I still had quite the impressive growl when I wanted to. "And you still haven't told the rules, Reece." I added. I realized that was the second ti I had used his na since we had been sitting here, almost arguing. Oh Goddess, why did I just start using his na like that? But he didn't seem angry about it at least.

"Then listen closely, Trin-i-ty." He said my na slowly, stretching out every syllable, perhaps to annoy instead of using the Bunny nickna. "For the ti being, you are not to leave this house without a guard. That is for more than one purpose. One is you being a flight risk, the other, is the unknown factor of exactly what happened the other day. You were attacked by the rogue after all, I cannot be certain that you were not the intended target. You are the Luna of the pack now, which ans your safety cos before all others."

"Shut it." He snapped at . "You are not to tell anyone that you are the new Luna, not until after the gathering this weekend, I'm sure Noah told you that already. Also, when it cos to pack related business, you will do what I say, when I say it. There are tis a Luna is expected to accompany her mate, sotis for show and sotis to assist in other pack business." He droned flatly, almost as if he were trying to push aside all emotion.

"Aside from that your main responsibilities lie with the won and children of the pack. My job, as Alpha, is to maintain order for all, but to handle the business related to the n. That would be things such as training warriors and the like. Up until now, I have had to handle everyone in the pack, but once the ceremony is over, you will be taking on the role you are ant to have." He was glaring at like he expected to object. I just shrugged my shoulders.

"I expect you to behave properly, as befitting a Luna and my mate."

"And what exactly does that an? How have I been known to behave improperly?" I snapped at him.

"Oh, I don't know, perhaps when you just fell asleep at a random friend's house without informing your family. That will not happen now that you are Luna."

"I know that, I had not intended for that to happen." I told him, defiance filling my voice.

"Which makes it even worse. Acting out on purpose can be curbed easily. Forgetfulness, stupidity, lack of common sense, those things are not so easily fixed." He was blatantly insulting now.

"Now listen here Fido, I am not stupid, forgetful, lacking in common sense or anything else similar to that. It just so happens that the two nights and subsequent mornings prior to that incident were to bla. I had little sleep from stressing over your damned gathering and then what happened at that gathering. Then while I relaxed at a friend's house the exhaustion caught up to . So, in truth, I guess you are to bla. Since it was your gathering, and you that literally fell on top of and at the gathering." I vented my frustrations at him.

"First, I am only going to say this once, don't ever call Fido again unless you want to see what kind of punishnts I can dream up for you." He said nacingly, making shiver. "Second, I didn't want that gathering any more than I wanted a damn mate, if anyone is to bla then it's those damn fools, the Elders." He growled. "I will let this slide only once. Just rember, behave yourself when in public from this day forward."

"You have my word. I will behave myself in public." I fully intended to use his wording against him soti, soon. He nodded his approval and left the room, his agitation was clear in the way he walked.
