Forgotten Alpha

by Alexi Maisonet

  Holding the phone in my hand, I click ‘ON’ my Bluetooth answering “Hey Alpha, just trying to see how close you are to home.” Tuning in, I hold a grin still gazing at my mate’s picture responding “I am doing good Thom.” Toying with him I slowly share my story “Aside from almost crashing to get off the freeway. Then, after parking my car, I rushed around a neighborhood of the Bronx I have never been to. Tracking the most mesmerizing scent I have never smelled before. Add in, breaking into someone’s apt because Crimson almost phased a few times. But thank the goddess he didn’t and I’m ok.” I leave him in suspense. For a few seconds, silence is all I hear on the other end of the phone. I enjoy tormenting Thom.

  Thom’s voice takes on a resonance of confusion “WHAT! Why the hell did you do that for?” I chuckle from his anxious tone, I know I got him hooked and tell him “Thom… I… found my mate” BOOM! I slipped the bomb. Strongly visualizing the look of shock he must have on his face!! Returning to gaze at the picture I hold in my hands he erupts.

  “WHAT!!! YES!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!” His voice boomed through the phone causing me to laugh. As I hear Thom bursts with excitement, he lets out a howl which causes the pack house to come rushing to his position. Asking “can I tell the pack?” I respond with a smirk “Yes Thom”. In a moment I hear the whole pack howl rejoicing.

  I continue “Ok so it may take me a few days before I get home”. He laughs snickering saying “uh huh, I understand ALPHA. So, what is your mate like? HOW is your mate like? Male or female? Old looking like you or young and attractive like yours truly, chunky yet FUNKY!” Thom’s questions could go on and on, but I cut him off saying “HE...is male and breathtaking Thom” Gazing down at my mates’ picture again.

  “Male??” Thomas’s way of investigating causes me to growl “is that an issue?” the growl in my throat reverberating louder.

  He replies “AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!!! HELL, FUCK NO!! Alpha your happiness IS ALL THAT MATTERS! YOU FOUND YOUR MATE! Shiiiit, you retired from male gigolo/ whore/ horndog, blazing a trail of crushed hearts! To FATHER FUCKING Reuben over HIM!!” I blush to smile a cheesy grin, knowing if he saw me beaming, he would make fun of me. Never let me hear the end of it. I replay my story holding a comical tone “Yeah, no thanks to Crimson. First, I almost wrecked on the MAJOR DEEGAN, next I raced around following his scent like a maniac, then got to his home and smelled every floor like a goddess damn bloodhound till I got to his floor and then, THEN I BROKE INTO HIS APT!! again thanks to Crimson. Can we say prison time?” chuckling.

  Thomas ROARS hysterical “WELL WHAT THE HELL DID YOU EXPECT HE HASN’T HAD NONE IN FOREVER!” then coughs recanting his previous statement “ah hum, I mean you have been waiting ALL THESE YEARS!, now you stop being a stiff-dicked ass anymore!!” We chuckle. Thom has always been so polite both in character and with his words. Continuing to hold the chuckle in my throat rubbing my bald scalp" yeah your right, I’ll call you when I am on my way”. Happy for me, Thom maintains a courteous demeanor “Yes Alpha and Reuben?............ I am content you found YOUR mate.” he says then hangs up. Yet, I beam repeating the words he just said “MY MATE”.

  While on the call with Thom, I strolled around my mate’s home, further taking in his palate in design. When we finished our conversation, I was in the kitchen. I turn to face the scent from the coffee maker. It’s then I note the coffee maker light is still on? Knowing they only continue on for an hour before shutting off. I touch It. It’s still hot. Suddenly, Crimson’s warning and the two wulves I smelled earlier as I had reached his door. All logical thoughts leaves me. A combination of alarm with anger raises my blood tension causing me to crush my phone still held in my hand before I realize it. Yet I don’t care, where is my mate? Crimson howls a blood-curdling enraged roar matching my mounting rage “I TOLD YOU our mate is in trouble those two Wulves TOOK OUR MATE!!” My goddess this is not my how I expected it would be when I met my mate.

  Scenting, my nose draws to a scent wafting upwards into the apt, and it is coming from the balcony. The drifting scent of a wulf. I go look and see a solitary elderly woman sitting on a bench looking up at me. From the scent wafting up I know, she’s a wulf. I go back inside for a moment. First taking the picture out of the frame enclosing it tucking it into my blazer pocket.

  I correct the damaged apartment door lock as best I can from the inside returning to the balcony when I am done. I first check to be sure no one can see me. The canopy of trees covers most of the view this way. The brightness of the sun for the most part has many drapes drawn closed. Ok good enough Then I jump. 9 stories are nothing for a werewulf.

  I land on the ground below with a thud. I turn towards the she-wulf sitting calmly gazing at me. Within seconds my shirt is attaching to my back and chest as my body perspires from the heat Crimson creates in my approach. A growl sounding demonic emits from deep within my chest. Escaping me, warning her of my dangerous mood and…..not to run. Crimson’s voice reverberates in my head. His murderous rampage about to be released. Crimson Roars “I will rip them apart! if they have touched ONE HAIR on our mate I will END their entire pack, bloodline, and consume THEIR SOULS!” my response matches him only with more darkness “Not before me”.

  Using every ounce of my will power I just managed to keep Crimson contained. I stand before the elder wulf, without saying a word. I feel heat enter through my Armani loafers. Crimson is affecting the ground beneath me heating it. It is coming from my emotions, Not good. It’s an excellent thing it's summertime. She rests with a smile, her gaze calmly meets my emerald green-eyed glare. She nods her head.

  “Hello, Alpha Reuben of the Crimson Mountain Fire Pack” This paused for a second, she recognizes who I am? My eyes are burning while trying to hold Crimson in control still. Crimson snarls his warning “My MATE!! she will TELL US WHERE IS OUR MATE OR DIE!!” she continues “As you wish Alpha Crimson. My name was Adelphi. And I was once seer elder of the Celestial Guardian Pack. Your destined mate is in dependable hands.”

  SELENE

  The whole pack rejoices at the shared story of Alpha having discovered his Luna. Not me, I growl. My blood boiling inside me. But I keep my poise in the presence of everyone. As I hear Iesha tell me “Act like your happy also Selene, so they don’t become suspicious.”

  My eyes turning towards Thom hide my contempt. He will soon be appointed Beta of our pack growling to myself “Faggot”.My objective was to stop you from becoming our BETA. I had planned on being Luna BEFORE you became BETA. Whoever heard of a GAY BETA!! Gays are just as inadequate as OMEGAS. Deserving nothing more than a reminder THEY ARE A DISGRACE! Just then I remember my dear dear sister Teresa. Sneering at what happened to her for getting in my way. If this queer becomes Beta. IT WILL BE AN INSULT TO OUR PACK!! No to MY PACK!! I WON’T ALLOW IT!! No matter what, I will stop the faggot from ever becoming BETA OF MY PACK!! I regain my mental composure immediately “Even if I have to kill him myself.” Then is another matter I MUST attend to. Easing away from them and all that filthy happiness they are sharing! My Reuben found his mate. My thoughts drift and once again I growl. With a sly smile, My own answer comes to me “Oh well, guess I will also kill this SUPPOSED future LUNA. After all. I WON’T share my title or wulf. I and I alone WILL BE LUNA TO MY PACK!

  Walking away my wheels turning “Alpha Reuben is very much capable of killing me. I remember the savagery he carried out on six wulves at once who disrespects his mother saying her ass during a symposium. With ease, he tore open the body of one, plucked out its rib cage using it to gore & skew the other five with.

  Then he smiled sadistically talking to their bodies “now you got a bite of that ASS.” Putting an arm around his mother shoulders as she reproaches him “ mijo ? That temper mijo that temper. I swear TU ERES COMO TU PADRE!! ANIMAL!! (you're JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER! ANIMAL!! )” The look on his face. Black, evil, his smile sinister said: “AHHH THAT FELT GOOD!”

  Heading, to my office. Far enough away I allow a growl to fly “This can’t be” I say to m
y wulf ICE-SHA. “This is not happening. My dreams. He assured me. ME!” Remembering his words like it was yesterday “Should in one more year I have not found my mate, Selene. I will take you to be my Luna.” THAT’S WHAT HE SAID!! would choose me. mean after all look at me. am the WHOLE PACKAGE. have looks, brains, body, I graduated top assassin from the Academy. He himself appointed me the head of the Protection Force for OUR PACK! WOULD MAKE THE PERFECT LUNA!! But Now!! NOW!! This Luna bitch comes out of nowhere and I am forgotten like a piece of SHIT!! The brujo told me this would happen. He said “when his mate comes. You must call me Selene. I will help you kill them for good.”

  I hear my wulf. “You forget Selene the conditions of his promise. Is it so troublesome to accept? That which you swear is your right to have. Was nothing more than a position of that promise. We never mated with them He never marked us. I know where you are headed with this Selene. Stop. There is still time to rectify your actions. Neither the Omegas or Beta have done anything to you. Yet you established hatred for them. Remember what you have done to the Omegas within our pack.”

  I respond to Ms.Righteous fucking statement “SHUT UP!!! I don’t care about all that. I struggled hard to stop him from making a mistake and MAKE THAT QUEER COCKSUCKER BETA! NO!! and if you remember I tried mating with him. But fucking damn his fucking wulf! He interfered almost killing us! The Bastard!.“

  “I remember that also Selene. Alpha was unconscious from the drug you dropped into his drink. You planned on mating with him to produce an offspring. Crimson stopped you.”

  “Crimson stopped you” I tease her “Whatever” despise it when my wulf would point out my faults. Why did I get paired with such a weak bitch? Continuing walking to my office. Almost there. Again, I think on the dirty queer becoming Beta. The lowest thing that can happen to our pack. What a disgrace! Reuben? Add you found your fucking mate. Big deal. Only means I have another body to fucking bury. Pah.

  The mate bond FUUUCKKKK!!! Grrrrrrr, my eyes ice blue wulf colors My thoughts turn sarcastic “did you think I would accept being so discarded because of the FUCKING MATE BOND!! I growl. Dangling such an honor in front of me. The power of LUNA. Then as if it were! Well MR. Acosta, IF I am not your Luna Reuben ACOSTA!! then you will not have A LUNA!! Let’s see how your Luna deals with me as her enemy ALPHA! I will be Luna of this pack either with you or take it over with ANOTHER!! “

  Arriving at my office I unlock the door, open it, then close and relock it after I enter. Walking with impatience to my desk picking up the phone receiver, I call a “friend.” Someone who I know will eliminate this LUUUNAAA. he told me this would happen. I chuckle envisioning it. This would be Luna arrives only to die. I scoff “Should’ve stayed undiscovered ho.” and dial the number, the phone rings once, twice and now, responded. There is no sentiment or tone from the speaker “hello?” I usually feel as if a glacial coldness is passing through the phone for me from the ominous speaker.

  But today it matches my own emotional state as I speak “Hello Eduardo? This is Selene. Let’s talk” Whenever I have spoken with him, I would get a chilling sensation on my spine, right now I am to piss too notice. “you told me to call you as soon as the news arrived of Alpha finding his mate. I heard from the future faggot, cock sucking, fucking Beta. He found his Luna.” I talk, I hear him take a deep breath. if he were saying “at last”

  With his reply, I can feel intense darkness coming through the phone. if the necromancer was trying to pull my soul through it. “Thank you, Selene, I am most appreciative. I will have my mystics put together a stronger potion for you next time. This way you can have your way with your Alpha and conceive his offspring. Making you the LUNA.”

  I smile hearing this statement. ME, being Luna. Whether with Reuben or with the necromancer I WILL BE LUNA. The thought alone sends shudders of excitement throughout my whole body. I smile. Then I hear the bitch of a wulf of mine speak.

  “Selene. The necromancer lies to you and your need for leadership to see it. He will lead you to our death. He is not a Nero-Necromancer. His hate has devoured him. Do not thread down that path and accept his ploy. He will our death Selene.”

  Damn, I detest this bitch. “WILL YOU GIVE IT A REST!! BY THE GODDESS!!” I so hate when she judges me on my choices. Having finished my conversation with Eduardo, I hang up before anyone gets suspicious of my absence. Leaving my office, I lock it securely behind me. As I turn I see Robert, the pack’s driver an OMEGA. A malicious smile now crosses my face. I am soooo going to enjoy this and myself.

  Heading to him now, taking in his shy elusive demeanor upon seeing me, he becomes more so. I smile from this. I love it when they cringe from me. “Hello, Robert. You’re still using the potion I had the mystics prepare for you right? After all, Omegas are the lowest ranked Wulves in the pack and should not have mates until they move to a higher rank. Think about it, who would want an OMEGA as a mate. Better to continue saving yourself from the rejection.” He looks at me now, his broken spirit in his eyes “Yes Selene” then he downcasts his sight away. I smile, job well done. I feel so GOOD! WAIT TIL I AM LUNA!!

  THE TRUTH

  I stare astounded at the Wulves in front of me. They were, are, were, are, were my family. But NOW THEIR WULVES!! WHAT THE FUCK!! THEY’RE REALLY WEREWULVES!! This can’t be happening!! My eyes open to saucers as unconsciously, I backpedal so fast away from them, I bang to the cabin wall! still stunned “THAT YOU!!.... YOUR ALL REALLY!!... YOUR REALLY WULVES!!!! MY FREAKIN FAMILY ARE REAL FUCKING WEREWOLVES!!! Randall’s favorite phrase comes roaring loud sassy and clear in my mind “Da STRUGGLE IS REAL BITCH!! FEELIN IT!!!”

  They look at me and sit on their haunches wulf speaking. Celeste says “You are Alejandro Maisonet of the Celestial Guardian Pack. Son of Cary Maisonet….. our ALPHA”.

  continue staring wide-eyed in amazement but now, I hear Randall’s gay tone “GIIIIRL IF YOU COULD SEE YOUR FACE!! Fuck KODAK!! BITCH YOUR FACE IS PRICEEELE$$$$$!!” I start laughing he is right! I ask Randall/Coco “Can I pet you?” Coco Growls at me “Hell no!! Bitch I look like FUCKIN LASSIE TO YOU QUEEN!”

  I burst out Hysterical, yup that’s still my brother. “Your.....REALLY WULVES. you were not bullshitting me!! All this time I thought you said it to keep me home because of my amnesia. BUT YOU WERE TELLING THE TRUTH!!!” Turning my head now, I look to Carmen curious. She huffs, rolling her wulf eyes. “Yes, you can pet me. Don’t make a habit of it and MUTHA FUKA!!” she growls a warning “Alpha son or not I WILL RIP OUT YOUR FUCKIN THROAT IF YOU TELL ANNNNYONE!” I laugh hard at her threat.

  Once I stop laughing I reach out and touch her soft yet coarse fur under my hand. In a Sudden flash, she stands in front of me in her wulf form. My heart turns to mush. I miss. Her wulf is white with black tufts on her tail, ears, feet, and muzzle. Carrying a silver Estrella in the center of her forehead. It shows stars and blackness, glistening alive I see it move. I am touching her not Carmen. My mom. Even though I have never seen her this way.No matter what form she’s in, I know my mother. She speaks. Her wulf spoken tone expresses much wisdom, serenity, calming me “Hello Alejandro, my cub. I am ESTRELLA, wulf soul companion to your mother Cary and a celestial guardian as is my cub, your soul companion SABLE.”

  Speechless I ask “Ma...toti…is that... “ Then change my thoughts to “How...How are you doing this?”

  “I am a the constellation celestial guardian wulf. I possess abilities beyond the average ones of our kind. I am using one such ability now speaking to you through CELESTE” A tear forms in my eyes “I...I remember you-you’re one of the Wulves from my dreams. You were one of the six Wulves at the home of the goddess, you and the Crimson wulf, the rust-red wulf also in my dream.”

  “Yes, my son. That was I. One of the celestial guardian wulves serving the mother. As is the one you call Crimson, as is your own wulf SABLE. We can only unite with our special children” From her words, my heart sinks reflecting so “What makes me special? I have Post-Traumatic Amnesia ma, I JUST learned my family is
real wulves and not a crazy cult, my dog can talk with me as can my wulf family. And yet, Worst of all I am NOT supposed to be losing my mind mother? I’m supposed to understand this as if it were normal?

  I’m lost inside myself and I don’t understand or remember who I am. I am freakin a step away from the looney bin mother. Worst if all I am supposed to just ACCEPT ALL THIS.” My tone changing to desperation and frustration. The weight of my situation hits me like lead weights on my soul “Why did this happen mother? Why me? Who am I? HELL AT THIS POINT MA, WHAT AM I?”

  “You will have all revealed soon. You are almost there my cub. Continue to stay strong. For I, am always with you.”

  I turn desperate as I speak “Can you tell me why this happened? Why can’t I remember?”

  “To save your life. But that, Sable himself, will explain to you.”

  “But why do I get the headaches? why did my chest ache today when I smelled pine trees and fresh earth?” an emotional knot in my throat.

  I smile at my son, it had begun. His time draws near “The goddess has awakened your mate bond. The one you call Crimson is your destined mate. He has at last arrived and seeks you.” A thought comes into my mind. Before I can say anything Estrella answers it “He is more than just wulf Alejandro.” her look made me feel like I thought something shameful “oh” is all I say and she continues “Do not take the pills anymore my son. So he can find you and Sable can return. I must go but know this. You are my son and the truth is closer than you think. Hold onto your courage Alejandro. Embrace it without fear. Trust... S...a...b....l.....e.”

  I feel our connection fading causing me to get a little anxious. I attempt to grip her fur but feel it vaporizing in my hand. Mom “Thank you Star. love you...thank you (pausing)......Mother.” Just before she fades, she reaches up…… and muzzles the side of my cheek “I ...Lo..ve…..Y..o...u…..uu..to..ooooo” her essence thinning more and more before my eyes,. Then I remember something but before I can ask who Sable is,
