AN: I kind of wanted to show a little bit of the pack as well as Ruby and Emma's relationship. Hopefully you guys enjoy this as much as I try my hardest to write it. Thanks for all of the amazing feed back from the previous chapters. :D

AN2: ALSO!! I have been out of phone service and internet access for quite some time now. Alot has happened in the last few months. I do apologize for going AWOL on you guys. I have been able to write up some chapters for this. So i grant you with this chapter and another soon after. Im getting back on track. Slowly. But surely.

She just wanted to have a drink, maybe two, before going home for the night. Her nerves were shot and the last thing she wanted sat in a form of two men idling her at the bar making attempts to flirt with her. The half empty glass of her whiskey sour was being nursed in her hand while she tried her best to ignore the two men.

"I bet a girl like you could show us a great time, sweetie," idiot #1 spoke in what he thought was a cute flirty tone. He sounded like a strangled cat. His companion leaned into her other side and licked his lips for the umpteenth time that night. Seriously, how many times do you need to wet your lips before they start dripping with spit. The thought sent a nasty chill down her spine as she took a drink.

"Come on love," Idiot #2 reached out to grab ahold of her wrist. "Show us to your room,"

"I don't have one," she hissed and pulled her hand away. Idiot 1 placed his hand on her bare thigh; she was wearing a tight mini dress. An idea she regretted immediately.

"Sweetie, you have to have somewhere we can fuck. Hm?" he pushed his hand further up but she just pushed it off. She growled, trying so hard to keep calm. These guys weren't just any normal guys, they were local bikers. Bikers who ignored the law Emma set years ago. They would eventually learn.

"Neither of you assholes will be fucking me tonight. So please. Leave. Me. Alone." Her eyes turned to Idiot 1 hoping he would get the picture but he just smirked at her and grabbed ahold of her thigh, this time so tight it would leave a bruise the next day.

"We don't take no for an answer love," Idiot 2 looked rather scruffy, black eyeliner over his eyes that made the dark blue orbs pop. He smelled of rum and oil. Idiot 1 had a baby face with shaggy blonde hair. His cologne was intoxicatingly disgusting and it made the woman's head spin.

"Well you are tonight," she pushes herself off the stool but was pushed back down. Red flags started going off. Where the fuck was the bartender when she needed him?

"Oh no, tonight we are taking what we want," Idiot 1 stated as his hand slid up her dress, "either here where everyone can see or somewhere private, your choice sweetie,"

Idiot 2 had his free hand gripping the back of her neck to keep her in place, she knew she was fucked. She really should have gone home. The hand snaking up closer to her womanly area had her heart hammering, she knew she could take at least one of them but not both. "Please, just leave me alone," she let out a little whimper.

"Oh! She wants to beg? Killian, you hear that?" Idiot 1 cackled and his friend, Killian, just smirked.

"I think I like it when the girls beg," he stated in his thick accent, his hand squeezing her neck tighter. "Whale, I do believe you have a keen eye for beggers,"

Whale, idiot 1, just leaned forward which caused his hand to slide closer as the tips of his fingers touched her covered area, she shook. No, not here. Please. She thought. Emma.

In a blink of an eye, a hard THWACK sound could be heard as wood chips and splinters flew around the back of Whale's head as his face slammed into the bar from the force. Killian turned just in time to see Emma toss the broken pool stick to the ground and her red eyes turned on him. He gave a deep growl before getting off the stool, which toppled over, and readied himself. Emma did nothing but grab Ruby and pull her behind her.

"Ruby, are you okay?" Emma asked, eyes trained hard on both men. Her Beta stood next to her and nodded mutely. When she didn't get a verbal answer she looked next to her and saw how frightened the woman was. It boiled her blood. "Rubes, you're safe. I promise," she reached out and pressed a hand against the top of her abdomen, something that relaxed Ruby to no end.

"The Alpha bitch finally joins us," Whale sneers, his nose bloody but slowly regenerating. "I am tired of you believing you own this town," he rubbed the back of his head.

"Don't pick a fight with me, fucker. I have had a shitty week and to top it all off you two asshats are trying to rape MY beta in the middle of MY bar? Seriously?" her sea green eyes flashed. "How stupid can you both get?"

"She isn't yours and this bar isn't either," Killian decided to pipe up. "Beta's don't belong to anyone,"

"Oh, how righteous of you Jones," Emma's nose scrunched up at his fake hero talk. "Need I remind you, Beta's are a part of a pack. Ruby happens to be MY beta because she's in MY GOD DAMN PACK!!!" her last words were roared at the two men. Both flinched.

"Fuck you Swan, your rein ends tonight," Whale's eyes turned yellow as he brought out his claws. Killian close behind. Emma stood there, not moving a muscle as Whale lunged towards her. At the speed of light, Emma had him by his throat, her nails digging into the sides of his neck. He swiped at her but missed when she tossed him back against the bar, quickly coming up on him and slicing her claws at his stomach. Blood covered her fingers.

"I am done with you idiots trying to always take over," her voice took on a low growl as her red eyes glowed. She took Whale by the head and just about snapped it when she heard Ruby, but was to late.

"EMMA!"

Killian was behind her, his claws dug deep into her side. His lips coming up close to her ear. "I'm alpha now,"

Emma snarled and snapped his wrist, pulling his claws out as she spun on him. "You have to kill me first, dipshit," using her free hand she brought it up against his elbow and broke it in half. He fell to his knees, crying out in pain. She gripped him by the throat and picked him up, his legs dangling in the air before using all of her weight and strength to slam his back into the bar floor so hard it broke beneath him.

"I'm banning you both from Maine,"

"What!?" Whale screeched and stumbled from the bar. "Y-You can't do that!"

"I can do as I please, remember?" Emma glared at him. "Leave, and if you aren't gone by the morning I will kill your entire crew," she wasn't playing, not this time. Her face was formed in mid werewolf transformation and her eyes glowed a brighter red then normal. She was showing alpha authority.

Whale knew better then to try and over power an alpha, Emma has proven herself to be far stronger then both. It's why she still stood before them and they both hunched over. He grabbed a pained Killian and they walked out of the bar.

Emma waited for their bikes to be miles away before she relaxed and turned to look at her best friend. "Ruby, it's okay,"

The Beta said nothing, just stared at the wound on Emma's side.

"Ruby?" Emma tried again and when again she didn't get an answer she followed the girls line of sight.

"Why is it that I leave for five minutes and you decide to destroy my bar?"

Both Emma and Ruby looked behind the bar to see Tobi there, a very unamused look on his face. The people in the bar had said nothing through out this entire altercation, seriously though. Were they just background people?

"Why is it that I can't leave my pack members here without those delinquent biking dogs causing a problem then leaving so my pack gets blamed?" Emma countered.

They just stared at each other. Ruby knew this game, even though Emma was Alpha Tobi was the owner of the bar. So it was like two bosses clashing over authority.

"Clean it up," Tobi demanded.

"Free drinks for a week," Emma shot back.

The man narrowed his eyes. Emma crossed her arms.

Emma's Bedroom the next morning.

"Ruuuuuubyyyy,"

The little lump in Emma's bed didn't move.

"Ruuuuuuuuubaaaaaayyyyyyeeeeee!!!!"

Not even a chuckle. So, Emma pulled her shirt off as well as slipping out of her shorts and quickly shifted into her wolf form. The silver fur coat a contrast to her red eyes. Hopping onto the lump, Emma began to lick at Ruby's face.

"No, don't kiss it there," Ruby mumbled in her sleep, batting at Emma. The Alpha wolf felt her ears perk up and her tongue lolled to the side of her opened mouth. She used her right paw to nudge at Ruby before letting out a deep playful murr like growl. The beta opened her eyes and glared at the wolf on top of her.

"Did you just growl at me?"

Emma sat on her hip and closes her muzzle.

"Emma, turn human,"

Emma shook her wolf head and proceeded to lay on top of Ruby, head resting on her shoulder. She stared into Ruby's eyes before snorting out a sigh. They stared at one another for a good minute or two before Ruby rolled over and smirked when Emma fell off her, hitting the carpet floor with a Thud.

"You bitch," Emma was now human, naked as the day she was born. Ruby forced herself not to look, so she shrugged and rolled back over. "I need your help,"

"With what?"

Emma began to redress.

"I'm having a BBQ later tonight, a few of the guys from the pack will be there. Granny and Vince are coming too,"

Ruby grumbled as she pulled herself up, rubbing her eyes as a yawn erupted from her lips. "Why am I in your bed?"

"You refused to move after falling on top of it," Emma explained, not sounding thrilled. "I had to wrestle your fat ass under the covers,"

Ruby gasped, "I am not FAT you whore," she tossed Emma's body pillow at the still dressing woman who missed it and fell over. Ruby grumbled but got up anyways, grabbing some clothes she kept in Emma's closet just incase she stayed over. "I'm not grilling, you can suck it," she said, her voice muffled from inside the closet.

"Fine, I wasn't gonna ask you anyways," Emma huffed. "I'll get Robin to grill,"

Ruby poked her head out of the closet and glared at her best friend. "Do you remember the last time he grilled?"

"He's the only one who knows how to semi grill, I don't trust Kevin or Sammy, they would just blow themselves up," Emma was now sitting on the edge of her bed, waiting for Ruby to finish.

"And what the hell did Robin do?" Ruby asked, "Basically the same thing, except he knew how to fight a fire,"

"He's a fire fighter for a reason Rubes,"

"One who has no idea how to grill,"

Ruby walked out in tight jeans and a red tank. Pulling on a pair of Emma's riding boots.

"So…." Emma tapped her knee as she glanced at Ruby with her head down.

"Fuck you," growled Ruby, not looking at Emma but agreeing none the less.

"Maybe for your birthday," Emma winked, causing the Beta to blush. Yeah she would love to get into bed with her Alpha but they never acted on it, just flirted and joked about the possibility.

10:45 a.m.

"If I can't have a whole chicken you can't have a whole pork loin," Ruby pouted by the meats. She wanted to try deep frying a whole chicken but Emma refused, so she wanted to take away the one thing Emma loved the most. Pork Loin marinade in lemon pepper seasoning.

"Fine," Emma tossed the pork loin back onto the shelf, haphazardly and picked up five things of pure red steaks, each casing holding two stakes. She tossed them into the basket and grabbed the largest tube of burger meat.

"How many are we cooking for?" Ruby asked skeptically.

Emma took a moment to stare at the meat in the basket along with some condiments to make side dishes. She counted off in her head. Vince, Granny, Regina, Val, Robin, Sammy, Kevin, Tobi.

"About ten people, for sure," Emma nodded.

"The whole pack isn't coming?"

"No, most of them are gone for the weekend or whatever reason. Trust me, I asked"

Ruby scoffed. "They only wanna come if it's a meeting,"

"Well, we may be a pack and what not but I don't see why they have to come to every get together. Most of them are just in my pack for numbers or because they had no where else to go after their transformation," Emma shrugged and reached over to grab five more packs of steaks. You can never have too many steaks.

"Honestly, the rest of them are pretty young. Still in their teens. So long as they follow my rules, they can do as they please," Emma shrugged. "I don't have to babysit them unless they give me a reason to, it's how I see it,"

"I suppose so," Ruby mumbled, "I mean, you could be like Connor and keep them locked up in a house unless it's full moon time,"

"Exactly,"

Emma grabbed some freshly cut chicken breasts and tossed them in the basket. "Besides, we're feeding an army with the ones who are coming,"

Ruby laughed, "You can say that again. Robin eats like a fucking steroid induced pig,"

12:09 p.m.

Robin and Sammy showed first, bringing two 24 packs of beer, as instructed to do by Emma. When they walked into the kitchen they saw all the dishes Emma had already made. A huge bowl of potato salad. An equally big bowl with regular salad. And then whatever the third side she was currently making when Sammy ran up to her and hugged her.

"I'm glad you came Sam," Emma smiled at her newest member, who blushed and smiled back after the hug was done. Samantha was a fairly young girl, in her earlier 20s. Long chestnut hair, always in big curls. Hazel eyes and sun kissed skin with pink slightly thin lips. She was beautiful if anyone could really put a label on it. Emma took her in just a year ago when she found the girl walking down the road in her wolf form, lost.

"I just know it's the only time I can relax and not worry about college, when you call," she explained, her voice raspy.

"If you ever need a break don't ever hesitate in coming over to hang out or watch movies. I'm not gonna shoot you down," Emma offered. "Just text me before coming over just in case I am busy or not home,"

"I will for sure keep that in mind," Sam said bashfully, "Thanks Emma,"

She walked out the patio doors that were slid open, music from the outside trickling in.

"She's coming along,"

"Yeah," Emma agreed, tossing the cut apples into the third bowl. "Thanks for taking her under your wing,"

Robin had been leaning on the other side of the island, arms folded over each other as he watched his boss cut fruit. "Hey, between you and Ruby being busy 99% of the time, I knew I had to step up." He shrugged and pushed off the island to stand tall, "It's no biggy boss, I'm number one Epsilon for a reason, right?"

Emma looked up at the man and smiled. Robin Locksley has always been her go to guy in the pack to take care of those she knew needed it. "She'll be a great Iota one day,"

The front door opened just then. Emma didn't have to see who it was to know, her nose picked up Regina's scent the moment she got out of the car. "Emma!" Vincent spoke loudly through the house to find her.

"Kitchen Vincent!" she responded. She kept her attention on the kabobs when he walked in, two women trailing behind her.

"Robin, it's been a while," Vincent shook the mans hand firmly.

"I agree," he smiled, eyes glancing behind him to spot Regina. "I say we should get together sometime soon and catch up," he finished after looking back to Vincent.

"I would like that," the elder alpha turned to introduce the two. "Robin Locksley, this is Regina Mills and Valentina Ricci,"

Robin took Regina's hand and kissed it. "It's a pleasure to meet you," he said, accent thick. Emma tried her hardest to keep her attention on the kabobs. Steak. Green pepper. Onion. Red pepper. Chicken. Yellow pepper. Repeat.

"Well, aren't you just the gentle man," Regina giggled. Robin smiled widely and Emma bit back a growl. Robin did the same with Val, who seemed a bit more relaxed with Robin as she allowed him to take her hand. Regina glanced at the host and felt her lips tug at the corners.

"You are mighty fine women," he complimented after kissing the back of her hand. Val would have blushed, if she could, instead she smirked at him. Regina walked over to where Emma stood and set down a covered plate.

"I know you said not to bring anything," Regina spoke, knowing Emma was on edge. "But I couldn't resist," she waited till the Alpha woman lifted her head before uncovering the plate to reveal at least twenty apple turn overs. "My specialty,"

"They smell and look delicious," Emma complimented as her eyes glanced up to meet Regina's. Something playful danced in them. "Thank you,"

"Come on, allow me to show you Emma's back yard," Robin chose then to interrupt. He walked past Regina, Val in tow, and waited for her to follow as they made it outside.

"You might want to let him in on your revelation before he tries to take something that's not his,"

Emma finished the last kabob, slung the hand towel over her shoulder and picked the plate up before turning towards the patio doors. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she said. Vincent watched her go outside before chuckling.

"Youngsters, I swear,"

AN: Ah this is nicely refreshing to write. Gets them juices flowing. Heh. And for the record, no Robin isn't gonna be some tool in this. I don't personally like OutlawQueen but I do love Robin. He's handsome and funny and just a huge big teddy bear but not in the slightest right for Regina. So don't worry.

Ruby and Emma have a past. But I'm not sure I want to get into it. Only because it's a whole story in itself and this is a SwanQueen story, not RedSwan. But trust me. Its SUPER hard not to write them as a couple. And I know it'll just piss you guys off.

At least I can have them joke around and flirt. No harm there.

Enjoy! Part Two will be up soon!! ~
