Asgier knew this protective instinct was becoming unhealthy. His own Clan leader had told him so. Fuck, he didn't even want you to begin with, but how could the Wolf of Bloodsoak resist such a cute face when he had been balls-deep inside you all those weeks ago during a raid?

Now here he was, his battle-scarred arm feeling around the bed in an attempt to find your warm body. When he felt nothing, Asgier lifted his head, his pale gray eyes squinting from sleep. You must have gotten up early to start the day.

Asgier hurried to get out of bed, scrambling to put on his clothes. It was an Omega's duty to keep house, to wake up and begin their chores for their Alpha, but Asgier hated having you out of his sight. The least you could fucking do was wake him up and let him know where you were going!

The door to Asgier's home slammed open as he burst outside, the chill from the morning air nipping at the exposed skin of his chest. Many Betas and Omegas were already moving about. A low growl rumbled in his throat as Asgier looked around for his Omega.

There. Asgier spotted you carrying a bucket of water up the path back to the house. Despite the uh... unfortunate beginning to their relationship, you had proven to be very dedicated to him, and Asgier always tried to return the favor. Yet as he began walking over to assist you, Asgier watched as another Alpha came up and offered to help you carry the bucket.

Asgier's lips pulled back in a snarl, and before he could even think twice, he was storming down the path towards his mate and the rival Alpha. The gravel under his boots crunched, and he was growling as he reached the pair. Asgier's hand shot out, shoving the Alpha's chest so hard that he stumbled back and dropped the bucket, sending water everywhere.

"You stay the fuck away from my omega!" Asgier bellowed, one arm grabbing you to drag you behind him.

The other Alpha got to his feet and immediately stepped forward to respond to Asgier's challenge, but some other members of the clan began to crowd around them, putting themselves between the two Alphas to prevent a fight. Asgier let out a frustrated shout, hating that suddenly everyone was too close to his mate. He turned, shifting his grip on your upper arm to begin dragging you back to the house.

"I have told you countless times!" He shouted. "Do not go anywhere without me!"
