What would an engagement party be-
Who: The McCreary Pack and the Draoi Motorcycle Club
What: Jack announces her and AJ's engagement
When: September 21st
Where: The Den
Warning: Drama, violence, followed by a fade to black orgy

While the whole pack hadn't turned out for the announcement, a good majority of them were in attendance. There was piles of food on the tables lining the backyard of the newly renovated Den. There were a few members of the pack who already knew what was going on, there was plenty of speculation running rampant.

Especially since the Draoi were also invited. Some of the pack had warmed up to the alliance with the coven. They had been loosely allied since Olly had married Siobhan O'Shea, but with his departure, the relations between the two groups hadn't really gone anywhere. Until Jack McCreary beat her father and chose her brother as her subordinate alpha. Now the witches were in thick as thieves with the pack, much to the older members and some of the newer Lewis pack wolves chagrin.

Olly was sitting between his wife and his sister, waiting for things to settle down and everybody to get enough food and booze in them they'd be more likely to actually listen. Standing up, he put his fingers in between his lips and let out an shrill whistle that would even make the humans present wince. "Hey, listen up everybody," he announced. "My sister has an announcement to make." Smiling at her, he sat back down and let her take the floor.

He knew this wasn't going to be all cheers and drunken celebrating. This was some serious shit a large part of their newly expanded pack wasn't going to like. He was expecting some challenges to be thrown AJ's way. Hopefully, the shit could be dispersed without too much bloodshed. Especially with the Draoi in company. While they were passingly familiar with werewolf custom from being around him for years, they'd never experienced anything like what could go down tonight. The last thing they needed was one of his brothers in arms getting the wrong idea and making things worse trying to help out who they considered family.

He took another long drink of his beer. Here's hoping shit didn't go down too badly.

AJ quietly gathered up Jack's clothes and folded them, giving himself something to focus on besides his mate squaring off with another wolf. He looked over at his sister, reaching out to squeeze Mandy's hand reassuringly. "It'll be okay," he told her. He just hoped it didn't end up as bloody as the last fight Jack had faced. He didn't know if it was the tattoo or the fact there were so many people nearby who could put him out before he could freak out, but he felt oddly calm. His absolutely confidence in Jack wasn't odd though.

Olly was just as confident in his sister, but keeping his eyes on the rest of Lewis' buddies all the same. Luckily, not only was the rest of the pack there to keep them from interfering, but the Draoi were as well. Order was probably the least of their worries, but Kevin had clearly come into the pack planning to take over. Which was laughable, but considering what an egotistical little shit he was, not surprising. Considering how calm AJ was acting, he was pretty sure Rosie was influencing the guy with her powers. He'd have to give a big hug later for it. It would save them a lot of face if AJ didn't have to be put under again.

Kevin growled again. "You gonna rip out my tongue too?" he snarled. "Yeah, that's definitely something your daddy wouldha done. Don't like what I say, I'll just silence you. Guess we're both chips off the ol' block, huh Jack?"

In her current form, the expression of a smirk translated as the wrinkling of her muzzle, which bore just a few more inches of fangs. She snorted with clear disdain. A humorless chuckle followed it.

"One of us is," she sneered. "Daddy had to talk himself up to throwin' down with me, too."

Then she went in for the proverbial kill.

"How'd you think this was gonna go, Kevin? Think I'd stick my ass in the air for you after my brother put you on your back? Or were you gonna try and take me by force?" Jack laughed hard and cold at that idea- archaic as it was to begin with, if Lewis even tried, he and his whole family would be torn apart. "'Cause what I'm seein' right now is a sore loser who can't pay the checks his mouth is tryin' to cash."

Amanda knew that it was going to be alright, but it never got any easier to watch her friend strip and square off with a fully grown male. Her stomach churned, but AJ's fingers squeezing hers made her feel a little better. Her eyes were on her friend, then flicked back to her brother. "Are you alright?," she asked him, fixated more on his control than anything else. "I'm right here," she promised him. "You're doing fine." It was so much easier to concentrate on keeping him grounded than on what was transpiring before them. She had plenty of confidence in Jack, but it was still not the easiest thing to witness. She wasn't sure that she would ever really be able to get used to the way that it felt to watch the people she loved have to fight for their position in the bloody way the wolves had to.

Her eyes snapped back to Jack when Kevin started talking about being chips off the block. The sound that she made was about the closest thing to a growl ever to grace the lips of a human. "What a bastard." Jack came through in fine fashion, though, more than ready to put the little twerp in his place.

AJ nodded to Mandy's question. "Better than last time," he assured her absently. He couldn't remember at the moment if he'd told his sister about the Gathering and what happened. It didn't really matter. He was feeling much calmer about the whole thing. Especially since it was more just circling and insults. He'd learned early on most challenges weren't the bloody horrible affairs that Jack's fights with Deacon and Lewis Sr. had been. That helped. "Maybe he'll get smart and back down." He could hope anyway. That was always an option in wolf challenges.

Kevin, however, wasn't having that. "Please," he spat. "How long do you think before your own pack gets tired of you and your brother's shit, Jack? Bringing outsiders. Fucking witches. Cursed wolves. Changing things. It's only a matter of time, bitch. If it isn't me, it'll be somebody else." With that, he kicked a clawful of dirt and grass at Jack's face and lunged. He didn't need the dirty tactic to beat her, but he wanted to take her down fast to prove a point. She wasn't an alpha. Just a jumped up bitch who thought she could tell the rest of them how to live.

The rain of dust and gravel hit it's mark, but Jack had been watching him much closer than he apparently took into account- she'd tracked the way his claw tensed like second nature- it was hardly the first time she'd been on the receiving end of a cheating blow like that- more times than other, it was from her own father. Teaching her exactly how to deal with it and come out the other end.

Too bad for him, he'd forgotten how much he passed on when he went insane.

Jack didn't recoil from the debris, only shut her eyes to protect them from harm. Lewis's claws buckled the ground close enough for her to feel it. Jack ducked low, under the brunt of his lunge, letting her elbow catch him straight in the throat with all of his own momentum. It dropped the big-shouldered wolf like a choking stone.

And now Jack's eyes were open. With a snarl, she was ontop of him- her hind claws digging inch-deep graves in his thighs, ready to shred them if he so much as thought about rolling over. She slammed the side of his muzzle with an open claw, marking him for insolence before the other arm swung down on the other side, the fist closed like a brick, to knock the challenge (and a few memories) out of his head. Before he even had a chance to spit out the blood, her jaws were around his throat, squeezing hard enough to block most of the air- a Last Warning growl resonating loud and long in the back of her throat.

Olly rolled his eyes as Lewis tried the exactly same shit on his sister as he had on him. Jack put the fucker down even faster, because the other wolf had seriously underestimated how fast and strong Jack was. He took another drink of his beer, waiting until Kevin had still in surrender before getting up. "May I?" he said to AJ as he picked up his sister's clothes from the table. It was over.

Amid cheers and hooting (especially from the Draoi who'd actually never seen a challenge and were really fucking impressed how fast Jack had taken down the bigger, stronger wolf), he crossed to them.

Handing Jack her clothing, he leveled a blue gray glare at Lewis' friends. "Anybody else?" he asked as he reached down to haul Kevin off the ground. "Since he's such a chip off the block, think he gets the same deal as his daddy?" Minus ripping out his tongue of course. Jack didn't need anymore bad press. But a year banishment should send a message that they weren't putting with bullshit.

Jack didn't shift back just yet. Towering over her brother's human form, she faced the would-be dissenters by his side, blood pinkening three sets of claws and even a little bit in her teeth. The fact that her fur was so pale only made the bright red stand out in the setting sun.

"Let me be clear," she growled- not at them, but to everyone at the gathering. "In this pack, mates are chosen. You love who you love, not who you think you can win. If you're unhappy with that, come try and change my mind." The way she snarled that last bit was a direct challenge to anyone who even thought about pulling shit like this again. Over such a stupid, useless tradition. "Or you can keep Kevin Lewis and his father company in banishment."

Travis couldn't have agreed with Jack's sentiments more. While the old ways were well and good, there were some things that should be amended. He glanced at Chahna briefly, then turned his attention back towards his niece and nephew. She knew what she was doing. She was making the choices that she needed to make for the good of the pack, even if they weren't the most welcomed. Times were changing and she was helping change the pack with them. It was a step in the right direction, he thought.

Another rumble went through the crowd, but nobody was stupid enough to challenge Jack right now. Not after she had taken down a bigger, stronger male in three seconds. Olly looked over at Travis and Trevor. "You want to take out the trash?" he offered his uncles. After the shit he'd spewed about Travis' new girlfriend, he'd earned himself an old fashioned asskicking.

AJ was relieved when it was over so fast. He was also not standing up because that had been hotter than it had any right to be. And he was sitting right next to his sister. He smiled reassuringly at Mandy, then took a drink of his tea.

Every single set of eyes in the clearing were on Jack- she knew not just because more than two hundred intense gazes were a tangible thing, but also because she'd earned that reverence. That respect. She was Alpha, having just laid down the law, with the smell of a rival's blood in her mouth- her own was pumping hard with every drop of whatever she'd been born with that made her destined for the Top.

As she watched her uncles drag the half-conscious defector toward the packlands border, she shifted back down to her skin- just as smeared with blood and dirt as it had been with fur. Her fangs and claws were gone as she turned back toward the main table, but her eyes were still fire-gold, and burning.

Five wide, brusque steps carried her swiftly over the grass and gravel, but instead of going around the main table to her seat- she nimbly leaped on top of it. AJ, directly across from her, locked in her sights. With a growl in the bottom of her throat only those nearby could hear, she stalked forward, like her wolf would, settling in a straddle across his lap and catching her mate in a claiming kiss.

Amanda watched in both fascination and horror as the fight went on. When it was over - quickly - she let out a sigh of relief. She looked to Luke, then to her brother, then to Jack as she firmly fixed herself at the top of the pack as per usual. She couldn't help but beam a little when her best friend showed them all who was boss.

She wasn't, however, prepared for the way that Jack shifted back, bounded towards the main table, stood atop of it, then straddled her brother and kissed him. She blinked and blushed, averting her eyes from the goings on beside of her. She didn't know whether to be embarrassed, confused, or mildly turned on by everything happening around her.

Her focus went to Luke and she shifted slightly, standing and moving out of Jack and AJ's way. Yeah, watching her best friend lay claim to her brother in surround sound and HD was not something she really planned on. So, she grabbed Luke's hand and tugged him up from the table. "Not gonna watch my brother get laid, let's get outta here," she murmured, giving his fingers a squeeze and leaving the table. AJ would be fine. Better than fine, she was sure.

AJ would have been embarrassed if his wolf didn't completely overrule his human side when Jack jumped over the table and straddled his lap. Yeah, not thinking. He let out a low growl, his arms going around her waist as he returned the kiss just as hungrily. He'd thank his sister for vacating the premise when he remembered she'd been sitting right next to him when Jack jumped him, but right now the world had narrowed his mate and the high of knowing she wanted him so much she just kicked some guy's ass and kicked him out of the city over it.

He didn't even think, just stood up and pinned Jack to the spot on the table she'd cleared when she'd jumped on it. He let out a growl at he clawed at the buckle on his belt and fastenings on his jeans. Jack might be naked, but he had way too many clothes on.

Yeah, it was definitely time to break up the party. Although it was doing that on it's own since Jack had made her points. Olly chuckled and looked at Shiva, hopping over the table himself. Pulling her from her chair, he tugged her away from the tables. The party was definitely over. Or just beginning depending on your perspective.
