“Let me walk you out!” I said to her.
“Okay, cool!” she replied.
We stood outside and made small chat until Amilia walked out with jealousy in her eyes. I continued to talk to Kanya ignoring Amilia’s presence.
“Ummmmm, Xavier, do you not see me standing here?” Amilia asked me. Kanya turned her head then her eyes focused on a black truck that was pulling up in the parking lot. The driver stepped out then I smelled him, he was a wolf! Different packs do not bother each other unless one pack steps on another pack’s territory and he was on mine.
“Hey, Xavier, this is Goon, Goon this is Xavier!” Kanya said to him introducing us. Amilia smelled him too and a low growl escaped her throat.
Goon smirked, “What’s up?” he asked me sounding like a thug!
“Get in the truck, Kanya! Let me holla at Xavier real quick!” he said to her.
Obediently, she accepted his request. Once she got into the truck, he looked at me and Amilia. There are still some people in the parking lot and I didn’t want to shift, but this arrogant asshole was tempting me.
“Scent smells sweet, don’t it?” he asked me then his eyes turned ice blue. I have never seen a wolf’s eyes that color!
“I will stay off of your territory, but stay the fuck away from mine!” he said in a threatening tone. No wonder I couldn’t read Kanya’s mind. Goon had sex with her! He marked her! He was going to mate with her! After he threatened me, he got into his truck then pulled off.
“His pack was in the club when you and the pack were on vacation. He met her here!” Amilia finally said to me.
“And you didn’t fucking tell me?” I asked yelling at her. She was supposed to make claim on our territory. But then I remembered that the claims aren’t honored if the Alpha male isn’t present.
“I didn’t tell you because I was hoping he hooked up with her. You should’ve seen when she first saw him. She was very intrigued by him! I’m glad she is so you can stay the fuck away from her!” Amilia said. I slapped her face, after she felt her cheek, she looked at her fingertips. There was blood on them. She had three long claw marks going down her cheek.
“You son of a bitch!” she screamed.
“Oh, shut up! Once you shift it will disappear!” I said to her.
I paced back and forth at my father’s house with my pack looking at me.
“So we have another pack in the area, huh? He came on our territory?” Aki asked me.
“Yes, he did! On our fucking territory! He threatened my life! I have to get rid of him! He is a dangerous wolf and I can see that he will be a problem with the humans as well,” I told Aki.
“Call Sasha up and arrange something! I have to get close to Kanya! She is not all human! I don’t know what she is, but I plan to find out! I doubt if that arrogant son-of-a-bitch lets her come back to the club to work,” I told Aki. Aki has been dating Sasha for about a month now. He is my only hope to get close to Kanya from this moment on.
Lance shook his head and so did Dash. “Is there a problem?” I asked my other two pack brothers.
“You and Amilia are supposed to mate for life! Why do we have to beef with another pack? All over some woman? It’s clear that she belongs to him! You said it yourself, that he marked her!” Dash spoke up.
Dash and I bumped heads a lot. He always wanted things his way and he always wanted to be in charge.
“Do I look like one of those street boys that you hang out with? Don’t speak on shit! I’m the Alpha, in case you didn’t know and quite frankly I’m tired of reminding you that!” I said to Dash. He growled at me then stood up.
“Fuck you! You keep talking that shit! I don’t give a damn who you are! Alpha is just a position, nigga! It doesn’t mean you can’t bleed like the rest of us!” Dash said putting his fitted cap on his head. That black son-of-a-bitch! I thought to myself.
His eyes turned and his canines expanded from his gums. I chuckled because in pack rules he isn’t allowed to touch me, even if he wanted to. Dash left out with Lance following behind him. I didn’t care for neither one of them! But because we werewolves and this is our territory, we have to form a bond, that’s the tradition and it has been this way for centuries.
My father came down the stairs smoking a cigar, he is four-hundred years old and didn’t look a day over fifty. My father, Juan and I, are from Argentina. My mother was killed one-hundred years ago from a group of poachers when we migrated to Africa. We moved around a lot because we aged very slowly and we didn’t want society to catch on to us. So, we lived in villages, jungles, desserts or just anywhere! When we would get to a different area, the Alpha male would have to face off with another Alpha male. Whomever wins get to become the Alpha. When we first came to the area, my father was Alpha and he had faced off with Amilia’s father. Amilia’s father lost the fight and my father took over the territory, which later on was passed down to me.
The two have become friends over the years, the defeated wolf can either join the pack or let the new Alpha run it or he can be banned from it and become a loner. But most wolves would rather join with the new Alpha because of the food. They weren’t allowed to hunt on a pack’s territory, which is always the area that contains most of the livestock.
“What are you ranting about, Xavier?” my father asked me.
“There is another wolf in town and I’m sure he is with a pack! This town is only big enough for one pack!” I said to him.
“It’s big enough for more than one pack son! Long as they don’t hunt on our territory! We cannot go to war with another pack! Those can be deadly! It has to be a very good reason to start a war!” he said to me.
“He came to our club! His pack was in our club, while we were on vacation! That is reason enough!” I said to him.
“If an Alpha isn’t present, then a pack will not know if it belongs to another pack! Now, cut this shit out!” he warned me.
“Goon, needs to go!” I said to him then his cigar dropped out of his mouth. All the blood drained from his face. I have never seen my father look so frightened.
“You can’t mess with him! He is the son of Ammon! Ammon, is our God! He is the creator of us all!” he said.
“How, is that possible? Ammon ruled in 3,000 B.C! Goon should be in the immortal world by now!” I said to him.
“He has not mated yet, so he was reincarnated! He is very powerful! His mother is a witch! Because of her spells, that’s how our family bloodline came to have werewolf in it! A lot of our ancestors migrated to Egypt so they could live for eternity! His parents are very powerful!” he said to me.
“I don’t believe in that! That’s your God! That’s who you worship! I have nothing to do with that! Goon is just a werewolf, like the rest of us!” I stated turning around with Aki following behind me. Aki and I have things to do and listening to my father rant is not one of them.
“His eyes are the color of the Nile River! He is the prince of the immortal world! Stay the fuck away from him! I saw him once in one of his lives and he is very powerful!” my father said. I looked at Aki and fear settled in his eyes. They have to be kidding me! I said to myself.
“Well tell Ammon, to get his son and take him back where he came from! There is no room for him here! I’m the leader of this pack and I have to protect them!” I said with my back still facing my father as I headed out of the door.
I took off my clothes leaving them on the steps in front of the house; I shifted into my beast.
Aki followed behind me. “Let’s find out where they live!” I said to him in his mind. We took off through the woods then I howled to alert the others that their Alpha is calling them.
I picked up Goon’s scent from when he picked Kanya up for work. It took us two hours to find where he lived, but we found it. He lived in a mansion that was securely gated. Aki growled pacing back and forth because we couldn’t step on their actual land. As we continued to stalk their home from out of the woods, we heard something from behind us.
&nbs
p; “GGGRRRRRRRRRR!” a wolf growled. When I turned around, it was a big gray wolf with a tan streak going down his face. His eyes were gold and he was slightly bigger than us. He leaped towards me coming in full gear; his teeth sank into my neck, causing me to howl out. Aki charged into the wolf clawing at his face, fur flew everywhere as Aki and the other wolf tumbled into a tree knocking it over. The gray wolf landed on top of Aki and its teeth sank into Aki’s neck. The grey wolf’s eyes turned red; the color of rubies. I charged into him, piercing my teeth into his back. He shook me off him, sending me soaring through the air into a tree.
“What kind of wolf is this?” I asked myself. The grey wolf had tribal markings in his fur; I have never seen a marked wolf like this. Aki and the gray wolf rolled down a hill landing into a ditch. Aki howled out in pain; I could smell Aki’s blood; the wolf was killing him. I ran then jumped into the ditch, biting the wolf’s neck shaking him down, and getting him off Aki. He clawed at my side, I heard the sounds of other wolves coming and I let the wolf go. Aki painfully crawled out of the ditch and so did I. Aki and I trotted away. I injured the grey-wolf to slow him down. The grey wolf howled, then more howls followed and I could hear his pack running through the woods to get to the injured wolf. They would kill Aki and me because it was just the two of us. We both retreated, so this was over for now!
Goon
Kanya paced back and forth inside of her apartment cursing me out. “I have not known you long! Not even a damn month yet! You think because we had sex I’m supposed to listen to you! You cannot stop me from working at the club!” she screamed at me. I sat on her on couch flicking through the channels on her T.V.
“Can you pour me a glass of water?” I asked her.
“Got damn it, Goon! Did you not just heard what I said?” she asked me.
“Of course, I heard you! But I’m not listening! So, pour me a glass of water, please!” I said to her chuckling. She stomped off into the kitchen; she came back into the living room throwing the bottle at me while I watched T.V. I caught the bottle with one hand never taking my eyes off of the television.
“You are too weird!” Kanya said to me.
“We are weird together! You are not working at that club, Kanya! If you go there and be around Xavier’s fruit cake-ass then I will be very angry! And when I get angry, that beast comes out! When he comes out, I don’t have no remorse! So, stay the fuck away from that club!” I said to her.
“Get your crazy-ass out of my house!” she yelled at me. I stood up towering over her, “I’m going to let you cool off! I will be back later!” I said to her.
“This motherfucker is all types of crazy! I might have to call the cops on him!” she said when I read her mind.
I burst out into laughter then kissed her cheek. I patted her on the ass. “Keep it wet and warm for me! Even in your dreams!” I told her. She slapped my face with her nails digging into my skin. I felt blood run down my face. I looked at her and she was very angry, her eyes are gold. I kissed her cheek then walked out. When I got into the hallway, my wound closed up on cheek.
“Feisty little Jackal!” I said to myself smirking. The more I was around her the more her beast wanted to come out. It needed to come out and it needed to come out soon! I was ready to meet her! It was our destiny!
When I got into my truck, Elle’s voice came into my head. “Izra has been hurt!” he said to me. I got back out then took off running through the woods that were located across from Kanya’s building. The faster I ran my clothes started tearing. When I finally shifted, I leaped up into a tree then sprinted all the way to my home.
I burst through the window to our home. Izra was sitting on the couch naked with claw marks on his neck. He was in a lot of pain; blood was everywhere! The pack cannot heal as fast as I could, it takes them a day or two depending how bad they’re hurt to heal. So, for two days, Izra would have to live in horrible pain. I shifted to human form and was now standing in front of them naked. We were all use to seeing each other this way.
“Who did this shit?” I asked them.
“Another pack!” Amadi said. Kofi put some type of herbs on Izra’s wounds. Izra howled out in pain, there were deep gashes all over Izra’s body.
“What did you start, Goon? Why were those wolves sniffing around our damn house? Every time we relocate, we have to move because of your temper! But this time we are not moving!” Dayo said to me. Dayo and I often bumped heads and have been since I joined the pack. We barely talked and when we do, it’s always arguing.
“Motherfucker, now is not the time for your stupid shit! You got a problem, we can take it outside, but that is after I check up on my brother!” I said to Dayo.
“Everyone get out!” I said them.
I grabbed the towel Kofi was going to use to clean up Izra’s wounds. Elle and Amadi left out of the living room. Kofi looked at me then Dayo grilled me.
“You are not the Alpha! You don’t bark orders!” Dayo said to me. Kofi shook his head.
“Let’s just leave out of the room!” Kofi said to Dayo.
“You are supposed to be Alpha! Why does he always call the orders and you listen?” Dayo asked Kofi. I put the herbal drink up to Izra lips so he could drink it.
“Not now, Dayo!” Kofi said walking out of the living room. Dayo threw his hands up in frustration then followed Kofi out of the room.
“I fucked those niggas up!” Izra said in a whisper. His temperature was dropping and his lips were turning blue. He is losing a lot of blood. I put a deep cut in my arm with my sharp nail then held it over Izra’s cup letting my blood drip into it. I poured the drink into his mouth, moments later, he yelled as his wounds started to close up.
“ARGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It burns!” he yelled as his skin pulled together.
Minutes later, his wounds were completely gone. My blood is what heals me faster than the other wolves and whomever else I give it to. Izra and I are the only ones who knows about this. I also think that Kofi knows more about me than what he leads on. Izra was attacked when we migrated back to Africa years ago by lions and it almost killed him. A strange voice came into my head telling me what to do. It was the voice of a woman and now that I know my mother is in the immortal world, I am for certain that voice belonged to her. After I gave him my blood, he healed immediately after he was attacked, that was something that stayed between him and I. We always joked and say we are blood brothers and not just pack brothers.
“That shit hurt, nigga!” he said weakly. He still lost a lot of blood, but he will be okay with plenty of rest and raw, bloody meat.
“Shut the fuck up! You are living, aren’t you?” I asked helping him up. I helped him up the stairs as the others looked at us.
“His wounds closed! What happened?” Elle asked me.
“Miracles!” I said then Izra and I burst into laughter.
Dayo got mad then walked out of the door. Kofi patted Izra and I on our backs then headed towards his room. Elle and Amadi said they were going to sniff around the area to make sure the other wolves are gone.
“I think Dayo likes dick! That nigga is always acting like a damn yorkie! Bitch-ass nigga needs to wear a collar, so some motherfucker can throw his bougie ass some beggin strips!” Izra fussed then I laughed.
“That’s still our brother!” I said smirking.
“Yeah, whatever! Fuck that nigga!” Izra replied.
“How did you run into the other wolves?” I asked him.
“I was hunting! I was ready to catch this deer! She was nice and juicy! I think she was pregnant! She would’ve held me over for three days maybe four! But anyways, I smelled another scent then I heard growling! I followed the scent and it led me by our gate. They were watching our house!” Izra said as I helped him into his bed.
“It must be Xavier!” I said to him.
“Who the fuck is that?” he asked me.
I told Izra everything I found out within the past couple of days. I told him about Kanya and how she and I are connected becaus
e of fate. When I told him Kanya was a jackal, he had a disappointed look etched across his face.
“Yo, you mean to tell me that all of this shit, is over a jackal? A fucking jackal, Goon? Do you know how big you are when you shift? Do you know how small jackals are? My nigga, go back to that witch and tell that bitch you want your jewelry back because that information she gave you is inaccurate! I could’ve found you an Alaskan husky with blue eyes, if you wanted an exotic bitch!” Izra said. I tried to stifle my laugh, but I burst into a fit of laughter. Usually, Izra and I would shift then fight each other, but he is still weak.
“I just gave you my blood and you throw salt on my mate like that? She is so beautiful! And she is feisty! She is the chosen one for me from the Gods. It’s in our roots that we mate who is chosen for us. Kanya roots go back to Egypt and although her ancestors went to West Africa, she still has Egyptian roots! So, when you see your sister-in-law behave or I’m going to fuck you up! Even if you think about some shit that’s foul, I’m fucking you up! Now, get some rest so I can knock your ass out when you get better!” I said to Izra and he shook his head. I headed out of his room then he called out to me.
“What is her home-girl looking like? Does she have a fat ass? I know she got some friends!” he said to me.
“Adika is pretty! Sasha, her other friend, pH balance is off though!” I said to him.
“What kind of off? Like she need to wash down there, type of off? Or is it a need medical treatment kind of off?” Izra asked.
