Ben growled when Barron pointed at him, unable to connect words to meanings yet. Little did he know, he would meet the vampire later that day or his temper would never cease. 

His blue eyes lowered onto Ji and fixed there, glaring in frustration at the female wolf in his way. He curled his black lips back farther, revealing more of his teeth, as his ears pinned back upon his head and tried to make her back down. Blond fur bristled and stood upright to make him bigger than his original size adding to his current appearance, seeming on the verge of attacking Ji. However, Ji would know even with his puffery, it was laced within the wolf’s DNA never to draw blood upon another wolf on purpose. 

[i][color=chocolate] No. Dangerous. Threat to pack. Stand aside, now.[/color][/i]

It was obvious that her telepathy message wasn’t getting through to him, the instinct on adrenaline and gnawed at him. Ben couldn’t understand why she didn’t let him protect his pack when every fiber within him cried for him to chase the threat away. Driven by this thought, he tried to sidestep around the older wolf to lunge at Barron’s exposed back. Ji wasn’t able to allow him as she shifted back into his path, preventing him from attacking Barron without risking hurting her too. Another irritating growl rumbled through his chest causing him to resist the urge to react. 

When the vampire finally left the first time, Ben’s facial expression slacken from its aggression and relaxed. His figure lowered onto his belly as his tail flicked back and forth, lazily. Sniff...sniff… Ben’s nose twitched catching a whiff of Holt who had ceased the alarm, the wolf noticed him drifting toward them. As a greeting, the wolf gave a canine smirk with a blackish tongue lolling along his mouth side. Most of the blood had been burned away thanks to a combination of Barron’s blood manipulation and Skyler’s exit, leaving a faint ashy scent on the air. 

That’s when the human arrived. 

Immediately Ben’s head jerked up. A male guardsman waltzed in, his eyes passed over them and then held his radio to sound all clear from the storage before marching out again. For several moments, Ben’s figure tensed upon seeing the guard enter and gradually rose defensively to all fours. When the magical influence whiffed under his nose, the teen wolf immediately started to settle down causing him to lower once more down onto his belly and stretch out on the floor.  His head still watched the guard cautiously and with little trust the scent would remain pleasant.  

After the guardsman left, Barron popped his head back in with an indignant welcome. Naturally, Ben snorted and bared his fangs at the comment as he remained lying down. Sensing the change in the atmosphere, the wolf seemed to relax through there was no signs of changing back right away. It was still a skill that needed to be taught or ‘triggered’ through outside sources. 

When Yeong came charging into the room, a gust of wind and the woman nearly slamming into Ji caused Ben to stand. He gave a snort at the new wolf and began to examine her curiously like he had Ji earlier. His nose twitching to inhale the scent of this new female wolf.
