Forgotten Alpha

by Alexi Maisonet

  Turning my head looking above the rim of my glasses, I peer at Randall giving him my attention. “Yes, dumb ass we are a family we are going with him. What did you expect? Now can I finish cooking?” I turn to Carmen, smiling. Wrapping my arms around her, giving her a hug & kiss “ALLLL RIGHT MAMA! ya know ya my gurl right?”

  my smile and laugh replying from his embracing arms “I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO PUTS UP WITH YOUR DUMBASS!!!!! SOMEONE HAS TO KEEP YOU IN LINE!!” Randall grins saying “OH YEAHHHH. forget that. By Da way. Did ya Kno he was looking for a Beta?” still cutting I look from the corner of my eyes “Hm, nope”

  “Yeah, HE WAS. ”

  I try to hide my smirk. “Who?”

  “Ya Momma came all Da way here from Da dead world and you don’t know witch hazel DON’T YA GO AND TRYNA PLAY ME, WOMAN!!”

  I bump into my new Beta “Whoooo MEEEE?” and we chuckle. Thinking of my mother’s advice, “Both your soon to be Luna and his brother must always remain together Carmen. The Beta markings are the key mi hija (my daughter)” The response I gave “Si Mami (yes mother)”

  My mother says “Your new Alpha needs to know about them, mi hija. ”

  “I understand Mama,” Whispering to my mother’s spirit “thank you” before allowing my NEW BETA to lure me into another conversation of his. Giving Randall my attention again.

  “So what do you think gurl? Sable is back, and we have BOTH an Alpha and a Luna?”

  I grin going back to cutting “I think we are whole.”

  Chuckling I bump shoulder to shoulder with Carmen’s, “No BEYOTCH, dat WAS NOT what I meant. Think Alpha eats a lot? cuz GURL I WANT LEFTOVERS!”.

  I push him off. “Uh, huh? You get leftovers if there is any. ”

  “Hey! What about me?” Bella says, her wulf speak sharp.

  We both reply in unison “the runs remember!!” Bella sulks mumbling “Bitches” leaving the kitchen adding “oh but the big belly BITCH there gets SECONDS!!” Carmen & I burst out hysterical laughing. Randall saying, “DAMN!! dat bitch is CUT THROAT!”

  I start the stove burners telling Randall, “Oh my mother told me what’s coming. Soon we will have company, we will need more meat we are running low. Soooo, let’s go food shopping tomorrow.” Randall looks at me with a sudden mischievous grin in his eyes first saying “Ah HA!!. SO THAT’S HOW YOU KNEW HE WOULD MAKE ME BETA!!” making me chuckle. Then he grins again, saying, “Got a better idea. Besides, our new Luna can use the exercise aside from showing off his skills to our Alpha. It has been a while since we hunted," My head snaps looking at him, nodding my head back and forth rolling my eyes at Randall with a grin “I know that look AND THAT TONE!”.

  Randall acts shocked at the stare. Placing his fingertips on his chest “GURL!! what!!” Then giggles, his eyes sparkling wicked “It’s jus a little EX-CER-SIZE!!” he says with a dark snicker smiling.

  Sucking my teeth at my soon to be Beta pointing my cutting knife at him “Don’t give me that shit. Every time you two go hunting, you make some dumb ass bet before you leave about how the food comes back! And then come back laughing like two freaking HENS!” Feigning like he will faint putting his hand on his forehead, as he is leaning against the sink. Now using a southern accent he says “Why sista mother MARY CARMEN! have you no faith IN MUAH. I AM HURT!”

  “UH HUH! Randall Ya full of SHIT!! NOW GET OUT! I need to finish cooking” and laugh.

  Randall smirks. “I know Alejandro will invite Reuben. It is a mate thing. I am countin on it!” With a flash of her eyes, Carmen says “AH, HAH!! THAT’S IT! Poor Alpha!!” I laugh, roll my eyes, shaking my head from side to side. Randall places a finger to his mouth says “SHUSH BEYOTCH!!! NO TELLING!” we laugh as I hit him with the dish towel.

  Later that evening: the 5 sit to eat and Reuben is complimenting on the aroma of dinner. “Carmen Pls tell me you cooked. Because I am not sure if Randall would poison me or not.” Chuckling. Randall retorts laughing.“OHHHHH, Alpha got JOKES!” Reuben is serving Alejandro first “well you never know!!” he says. Once again Randall’s sassy attitude, forever present, comes through “SOOO, that’s why you’re serving Luna first huh, testing the waters” grinning an evil-looking grin.

  “SHIT NO!! I prove it” I take a spoonful of beef stew, eating it first. Between the now scalding meat in my mouth, I say “SEE” smiling proudly to my mate chewing “I would die first, to keep you company.” Alejandro rolls his eyes but leans into me for a kiss saying “aww My Martyr” Randall & Carmen smirks. I had to smirk at Reuben “OH GODDESS?” Rolling my eyes with a smile on my face “HA!! SUCKA!! I WOULD POISON YOU FIRST!!

  THE BET

  We laugh. I open a new conversation setting the trap. Using my Spanish accent “New Topica LUNA. Carmen told me we need to go food shopping and I got an Idea” A sparkle in my eye “Why don’t we go hunting and bring lover boy there with us” Alejandro caught the hidden idea “Pa, wadda ya say?”

  “Stampeding wild horses wouldn’t stop me” replying as I take another forkful of food. I notice Carmen went to say something and the pair silence her with a “TUT TUT!!” hmmm, they’re up to something.

  We enjoyed the rest of dinner hearing Reuben tells us of his pack and whose who. With Randall making fun of me for again sitting in Reubens lap. Reuben does not mind and brings me in further. Opening his legs making a small sitting spot to sit between his legs. But something pokes my left butt cheek. Something hard.

  After dinner, Carmen goes outside to cast spells. I join her, leaving Randall and Reuben to clean up. Reuben looks at me about to abandon Randall when I stop him “pa I need to talk to Carmen for a minute. I promise I will be right back.” The look of disappointment comes over him. Til I seal it with a kiss saying “forever together Amor Mio. Forever together.” He hugs me, his eyes full of desire “ok mulatto. I love you” I stare back into his eyes I can see, It’s true. When I join Carmen I hug her from behind “You’re the best hermana (sister)” She stops weaving to hug me back, resting her head on my chest. “I know.” I chuckle continuing “I need you to remind me of something tmw Pls if you don’t mind.

  Chuckling as she says poking fun “Yesses LUUUU NAAAA” I growl. “The whole Luna thing, that will take getting used to, I’m NOT that gay. Listen, now I remember, we never had that talk I wanted before. I wanted to know why? I was never mad at you flaca I know you want to always protect me. That is all that matters isn’t it?” I let her go and we face each other. She smiles “It was to protect you papi” I kiss her cheek. Now I ask “ Carmen, can you remind me tomorrow to have Reuben call his pack and invite one or two to joins us. I would feel better if I knew at least one or two of them beforehand. For comfort.”

  Carmen laughs before saying “hmm, that is a great idea. Good to know you’re not being controlled by your DICK!!” I grin turning to walk back towards the cabin. She asks with a smile “ still scared of finding your mate?” without turning I smile continuing walking back. “Seer, I never doubted you. I will always need you.... My bitchy Hermana”

  Carmen chants a spell I know too well, and I drop to the GROUND! clever idea too. She had levitated a rock and THREW IT AT ME!! I laugh as I run to the cabin door screaming “I AM NOT Randall!!!”.

  “THAT’S WHY it’s NOT A BOULDER MUTHA FUKER!” She responds, “COME BACK HERE!”

  Zippin up the cabin’s two steps, reaching for the screen door. I hear a crash and Randall’s voice “OHHHH HELLLL NO!! OUT!! OUT!! OUT!! MY KITCHEN!! You are juuuust as accident prone as my mother ALPHA Cary!! THOSE PLATES YOU BROKE ARE ANTIQUE!! I PICKED THEM OUT MYSELF now THEY ARE TRASH!! OUT!!OUT! OUUUUUUUT!!!” Reuben laughs but leaves the kitchen QUICKLY!

  I go inside leaving Carmen to her job. To an eager, eye winked, smirking Reuben. “I wanted to get back to you, So I let them fall” he wulf speaks tells me. Big mistake, as we now hear Randall’s voice “WAIT!! YOU DID WHAT!!! ALPHAAA!!”

  It surprises Reuben hearing he was busted, but he darts picks me up and darts to the bedroom, carrying me up t
he three steps. Once we entered he kicks the bedroom door closed behind him screaming “GOOOOD NIGHT Randall!! He lays me down on the bed asking, “I wulf Spoke that to you how did he know?” I laugh “Bella told him, she’s a snitch” I tell him we need to go shower. Reuben Protests to my need for a shower “Whaddya kidding me!! Randall is OUT FOR MY BLOOD YOU CRAZY!!! LOOK!” we laugh as he points to the door frame and we see a shadow stationed there.

  I snicker, closing my eyes and give him a pass for tonight. BUT I NEED A SHOWER!! I go grab a towel from the draw and whispering in a faint voice as I tiptoed to the door “get behind the door oh brave one” he jumped off the bed and chuckles responding, “good idea.”

  As I open the door I stand alongside the door to give entrance, FWEEP! Something flew by me and hits the bed’s headboard just above where one of us would be. Randall

  With a laugh in my voice I yell “BITCH YOU CRAZY!! WTF!!”

  In my sassiest ass voice and one hand on my hip I tell him, “TELL MY ALLLLPPHHHAA, that is the name of the new china he is REPLACING !!! Mutha fuka gonna come up here and BREAK SHIT DAT NOT YOURS!” turning around to go downstairs he punches the wall saying “COWARD! NEXT TIME I AM BREAKING YOUR FUCKIN DICK, SEE HOW YOU LIKE THAT!!” where, on the other side, ReubenS standing there covering his mouth, stifling a chuckle.

  As much as I want to shower I change my mind and close the door laughing and settle in to bed with a returned Reuben telling him “Tonight Only!” he laughs at me saying, “My BODYGUARD!” And kisses me. His hand going to my ass.

  I laugh, return the kiss, then push him off “Sweaty Remember”

  He grumbles “you know I have 12 years of BLUE BALLS mulatto waiting for you”

  I chuckle to Reuben with sass “sucks to be you”

  Then adds “Should a taken my chances with Beta Randall.”

  SEER ALEJANDRO?

  The next morning after first, showering and then having breakfast. Carmen tells us she would clean up for us. Hearing this, Randall went outside with me joining him. Once outside phases, Coco cocks his head towards me saying “Ready Gurl?” I respond excited “Yup!” and look to my mate with a mischievous smile across my face “Coming pa?” Smiling at me responding “Did you think not!” puzzled he asks “Amor Mio, how do you hunt without phasing?”

  This was our cue we were waiting for. Coco & I chuckle looking at one another, my whole-body language becoming mischievous “Hmmm, True. But let’s make a bet, I make the kill and you carry it home with me on your shoulders? No, take backs” I look at a panting COCO with his tongue out showing he is smiling. Reuben responds “Deal!” with a huge smirky grin of his own. Alejandro & COCO stare glistened eyed at each other wulf speaking. “AWESOME!!”

  I look to my lover “Try and keep up” Carmen yells to Reuben from inside the house “Alpha they roped you! Ya got duped!” In wulf speak from the grinning, twinkled mischievous pair. The duo scream “SHUT UP CARMEN!!!!” “FUCK Y’ALL” is her chuckling response.

  Realizing with these two, I am in trouble, “Why do I feel I will regret this” My mate responds in a grin like fashion on a squinty-eyed face “NAHHH.” I continue to smile taking in his and my beta’s childish nature. Marveling at the fact that not being able to phase, has no effect on Alejandro. I see more why these three love him. Containing my excitement, respecting my mate’s determination I phase.

  Crimsons responds “Ready” tail wagging, rising to place my fore paws on Alejandro shoulders. I lick my mates face once and release him. Now we walked to the barrier when Carmen appears in, for the fourth time, the repaired doorway with a humorous evil glint in her eye. “Alpha, Alejandro asked me to remind him to ask you to call your pack to see how things are. So, CALL!”

  Like a cracked whip my head snaps back humorous yell at her “BIIIIITCH!! I said REMIND ME!! NOT YOU TELL HIM, CONO (DAMN!) CARMEN!”. Carmen laughing going back inside saying “Yesssss LUNAA!!”. Glancing over at my now phased mate “You can use my phone if you don’t have one pa. It would kinda be nice to say HI and become a little familiar with someone from your pack before meeting them”. Holding out a bathrobe. Phasing to human form again, I face my mate taking the bathrobe, I put it on, then lean into my mate kissing his cheek “Ok Amor”

  I huff my frustration at having to now wait “Of all the Lunas to have. I get stuck with MS. MUTHA FUCKIN MUTHA TERESA!!“ Reuben and Carmen laugh as Alejandro rebounds with “Shut it queen” then with admiration, he adds “LOOOOVE YOUUUU”

  Coco returns the eye contact “Yea Yea BEYOTCH!”

  Once inside, I take the phone Carmen hands me. “It’s Luna’s,” she says then returns to the kitchen. I dial Thom’s number, becoming pensive. Wondering what life will be like for my pack with my mate now. My heart picks up a beat as I pull “Mulatto” for yet another snuggle while waiting for Thom to answer.

  “Hello?”

  It’s Thom, I grin from hearing his voice “Hey you”

  “ALPHA!! How are you and Luna doing? How is it going? When are you coming home? When can I meet LUNA? Well, the whole PACK’s eager TO MEET LUNA!! Is everything ok?”

  With a laugh, I responded “We are fine Thom thanks, everything is amazing, Alejandro is AMAZING! His packmates ARE DEADLY. But I will explain everything when we get home. At the request of my mate, I am calling to let you know I am fine and while I am at it. Can you get my car at the hotel? I will ask Carmen, his pack sister, to send the directions to you.”

  “AWWW, he got you on the CHING CHANG!! THE LOCK DOWN!! THAT POLE WHIPPED!! Laughing. Which came to an abrupt stop when Thom hears Reubens voice tone “THOM!”

  That was my cue to get the phone, turning around in his bear hug, I see my mate is blushing red, so I ask “Amor, can I talk with him?”

  Looking down at my mate grinning. “Lo Que Tu Quieres Amor (whatever you want love)”

  Reuben hands me the cell phone “Hi Thom, Nice to meet you.”While meeting the gaze of my starry-eyed Alpha watching me with a cheesy grin. Hearing my voice, Thom stutter and his voice got lighter now.

  “.... Hi LUNA”

  “ok before anything else, Thom until I am Luna. I am Alejandro just plain ole Alejandro. Second, I would like to invite you to join us here in Black Bear Mountain near the John WAYNE REC. Do you know where it is?” If before Reuben’s grin was cheesy now, it was the DAM KRAFT CHEESE COMPANY!! He looked at me and just squeezes me harder letting me know he agreed to my invite.

  “UM, SURE LUNA HELL YEAH! I mean Alejandro and yes, I know where it is. I would need the Alphas approval. Luna sorry.”

  I turn to Reuben quick, hold the phone to his ear and say “tell him it’s fine” I batted my eyes like a damsel. Reuben laughs and says “It’s fine, have dad & mom take care of things until we all come home” I replace the phone to my ear. “Questions, Thom?”

  “hmmm... yes Luna. Can I ask why you would like to meet beforehand?”

  “Sorry, I should have explained that before. We would feel a little more comfortable with at least two familiar faces before I met your whole pack. This kinda helps me and my family feeling at least a little more at ease.”

  “Makes sense, weird but makes sense,” he says in a light cheery voice.

  As I continue talking with Thom an orb appears and I hear the whispers of a female voice in my other ear. She says “Luna, Please tell him, I receive his prayers, but I would like him to visit me. That would be nice. I smile responding “yes” and I tell him

  I saw the orb appear near my mate and was about to dismiss it. But he stopped me with a finger and a smile, mouthing “It’s ok”. I sigh and pull him from behind burying my face into his neck, scenting him.

  Thom voice cracks and chokes up. “Luna, are you a seer?”

  “Alejandro Thom. Pleases just Alejandro. I can’t tell you, Thom I dun no I suffer from post-traumatic amnesia, Thom. But I know I have always been able to see and hear spirits. Your mother is special, and she is proud of you Thom, she says you can now tell your ALPHA your true desires be
cause he already knows.”

  My voice enthusiastic “THANK YOU LUNA!!! Ahem I mean Alejandro!!”
