Leo grinned, "Of course what is a movie without snacks? Come on Cien, you me and Frankie can go on a snack raid and the others can stay and set everything ready for the movie." Leo said with a hyper swish of his tail. Phil chuckled softly at his hyper mate, Jay started to make a comfortable nest like area with pillows and blankets for him and Lucien to curl up and watch the movie in.

Lucien looked over to where Jay was setting up a place for them and he moved over, pulling Jay to him and nuzzling his cheek. "Anything special you want me to bring back Jay?"

Jay smiled softly as he was pulled close and his cheek nuzzled. "Maybe bbq chip if you have them please?" He asked, "Oh and if you have it and its not too much trouble iced tea please?" Leo stopped to watch his friends.

Lucien shook his head. "No problem." His tail wagged happily as he kissed Jays cheek and moved out the door, waiting for Leo and Frankie in the hall.

As he waited he heard voices towards the end and he snuck down, his footfalls quiet on the carpet. His ears were flicking back and forth as he listened and his fur bristled as he listened to them making cutting remarks about Jay and himself. Lucien didn't about what they thought about him but Jay hadn't done anything wrong and didn't deserve it.

He was close to pushing the door open and storming in when he heard Frankie and Leo coming down the hall. With a low growl he turned around and forced a smile even as his tail swished angrily.

Jay smiled before starting to finish his and Lucien's sitting area. Phil smiled as he watched the puppy work, he already thought of Jay like a younger brother and would do anything for him like he would for Lucien.

Leo gave a small smile before noticing how his friend's tail moved angrily. "Come on, lets get those snacks and back to our mates." He said as he walked over to his friend, "Jay is probably waiting so you two can snuggle."

Lucien nodded his head as he followed Leo, seething silently at the hatred that his mate seemed to be getting for doing nothing at all. It was only going to last a bit longer before he started to challenge each and every wolf in the pack until they had no choice but to either live with his choice of mate or leave and find another pack to live with.

"Are you sure we should have joined them?" Paul asked as his swished back and forth as he waited for Kane to join him.

"Cien's choice was his own, and the pup had the right to say no. Besides who else was going to protect him the way that Cien will?" Kane said calmly as he emerged from the bathroom.

Paul moved off the bed and moved over to his mate, cleaning away the water that was clinging to his furred ears. They shared an intimate kiss before crawling into bed, curling together and falling asleep slowly as their hands sleepily wandered over bodies.

Jay finished with his nest and sat down, his ears up as he listened for his mate and friends to return and his tail moving slowly. Phil smiled as he watched, he and Alex shared a smile as they finished their own areas and waited for their mates as well.

"Come on Cien you are so slow......" Leo said as they made their way back to the room, arms full of their chosen snacks for the evening. Frankie chuckled, "How is he always so full of enrgy?"

Lucien shook his head with a laugh. "I don't know, he's been that way since we were pups. He pulls the energy from nowhere it seems."

The closer to the room they drew, the quicker Lucien started walking, wanting to be as close to his mate as possible. Once they made it to the room Lucien moved over towards the nest that Jay had made and he sunk down into it, nuzzling Jay and rubbing their cheeks together before handing Jay his requested snacks and then curling around Jay protectively.

Jay smiled happily when Lucien and the other two had returned, his tail moving happily as his mate sat down next to him and nuzzled him. Jay smiled and said thank you as he took the snacks as placed them nearby before snuggling close to Lucien.

Phil chuckled softly as his hyper mate glomped him before making sure he settled before starting the movie for the group.

The movie held no intrest really for Lucien even though it was one of his favorites. His mind was swirling with repressed anger and seething with the need to make everyone that dared whisper about his mate in derogatory ways suffer before going doen on bended knee and begging for Jay's forgivness. Because it would have to come from Jay as Lucien would be so kind.

He rubbed he face along Jay's side as his tail flicked back and forth agitatedly and his ears laid back against his skull. It was only a matter of time before someone crossed him and he lashed out violently. And when it happened there wouldn't be anyone that could save the poor soul.

Jay's tail and ears went down, he could feel how on edge his mate was and he didn't like it. He made a small sad noise at the back of his throat and looked at his mate. He moved and started to nuzzle his shoulder and neck, wanting to make his mate happy again.

Lucien jolted out of his thoughts, taking in Jays worried face and put a smile on as he nuzzled and rubbed his cheek against Jays and talking lowly. "It's ok Jay. Calm down, I'm just a little agitated." He nips at Jay's ear playfully before kissing his cheek. "It's nothing you've done, relax and watch the movie ok?" He rubbed at Jays back as he kissed and nipped at his neck and ears.

Jay nodded before curling as close as he could, slowly relaxing as Lucien rubbed his back and he started to watch the movie.

Phil watched with a soft smile, it was amazing how in tune his two friends were. Especially since they had only known each other for two days and been mates one day.

Lucien took some deep calming breaths as he laid his head on Jays shoulder to watch the movie. He felt eyes on him and he flicked his eyes over to where it seemed to coming from and then stuck his tongue out at Phil. Feeling a bit calmer he curled his tail around Jay and smiled as he turned back to the movie; giving it his attention even as stroked his hands up and down Jays sides.

Jay could feel Lucien grow calmer and he relaxed even more, his ears started to go back up and his tail moving a little bit. He smiled softly and curled even closer. Phil smiled softly before turning his attention back to the movie, he smiled down at Leo when he realized he was close to falling asleep.
