"Who does she think she is? Am the most respected wolf among the clan and a human simply thinks she can tell me what to do!"

Leo paces around angrily mumbling about how unfair he the leader is being treated by a mere human girl.

"If I may," Finn says in a low tone unsure of whether his presence will provoke the rogue alpha before him or not.

"What is it Finn? What are you whispering about?"

"Kidnapping her wasn't a great choice, partnering up with her company doesn't seem to be a great choice as well."

"Get to the point Finn."

"How about you try to understand her?"

Leo's hand finds its way to his chin as he ponders over his words.

"Understand her? Whatever do you mean? Elaborate further."

"The heart of a human girl is delicate and must be understood. If you understand her likes and dislikes am certain that things will turn out alright," he says and Leo simply nods his head.

"Hold on, why should I be the one to understand her?"

"Because it says so in this book right here," he says waving the book in front of Leo's agitated face.

"Give me that!" Leo slaps the book away from his hand and flips across the pages with no destination in mind.

After going through the entire book, he throws it at Finn who catches it in his arms.

"I see no such thing."

Finn dusts the book cover and flips open a few pages before stopping," Here it states that a man needs to..."

"Ae you sure you don't want me to go with you?" Peta asks and I shake my head.

"I don't think that's a good idea."

"What! Why? I want to go with you."

I go down on one knee and gently pat his furry head," You know that I mean well right? Besides, you don't expect me to take you around looking like that right?"

"Looking like what?" he asks the confusion in his tone evident.

"To put it plainly, you are a wolf, a big white wolf. You don't expect me to put a leash on you like a dog right?"

Before my eyes, the furry feeling on my hand slowly fades to something smooth and I watch with wide eyes as Peta's features slowly become masculine.

"What about now Miss Nine, can I go with you?"

I jump back in fright almost tripping on my own feet but Peta grabs me pulling me against him.

"Miss Nine? Are you okay?"

"Peta? You're... human? How did you..."

"I heard some noise what's..."

Black's words vanish as he takes in the sight before him.

"What are you doing sister?"

It takes a moment for me to comprehend the mixed emotions that flash across his eyes and I turn and look at Peta. With the speed of light, Black's hands close my eyes.

"Hey!"

"Sister, don't look and you, get yourself something to put on instead of standing there."

Realization settles upon me and I gulp.

"How about you help him out Black."

I dig my mind for numerous responses if he might start arguing on the point but to my surprise, he grunts and his hand lowers from my eyes. He grabs Peta's wrist and before I can blink the darkness out of my eyes, I hear the door slam shut.

"Here we go."

I turn around at the sound of Blacks voice only to be met with an unexpected sight.

"Um..."

"What do you think?"

"It's nice of you to hand him some of your clothes but don't you think they are a little too big for him?"

"That's what I told him Miss Nine but he insisted on putting on these things instead of going out."

Black grabs him by the collar and easily lifts him from the ground," You plan on walking around stark naked?"

Peta winces at his tone and I notice the corner of his eyes moist with tears. I gently pat Black's arm and he looks at me with a raised brow.

"You're scaring him, will you be responsible for calming him down if he actually cries?"

An unknown expression flashes across his face and he sets Peta on the ground. I carefully straighten and tidy his clothes. Once all the wrinkles on his clothes have been straightened out, I turn to him and give him the most reassuring smile I can.

"Miss Nine.." he sniffles and I rub the back of his ears out of habit.

"Don't cry. Black won't bully you anymore."

He roughly rubs his eyes and turns to me with an excited glow I've ever only seen on Honey.

"Will you come with us Black?" I ask trying to drift the suspicious questions from my train of thoughts.

In an instant, he shoves us out of the door and clicks it shut behind us.

I turn and bang on the door displeased with his behaviours," Why are you always rough!"

Peta grabs my hands in his and he slowly rubs my knuckles," Master Black didn't mean anything by it so don't be angry."

The anger in my body dissipates and the tension in my body relaxes. I look at his eyes and let out a sigh.

"Let's go we need to get you some well fitting clothes plus I might just show you around."

"Hey Nine! I got your phone call," Luna says beaming as she rushes towards us," oh, who's the cutie?"

"Luna meet Peta, Peta this is Luna, she's dangerous so keep away from her in the future."

"Nine.. you-"

I raise my hands in mock defeat and she pouts her lips angrily.

"Are you seriously mad at me? I was only joking."

She scoffs and walks away from us and we are forced to run in order to catch up with her. Her anger however is short lived cause she beams at the new arrivals of goods in a near boutique and I can't help but chuckle.

"Miss Nine, her sudden change in mood is admirable."
