The Forgotten One

“Yes, he has contacted his homeland. When he gets more information, I’ll pass it on.” Alton tilted his head to the side, looking at Maxim, then at Hedrick and Gage. “Ral’s people would like to bring more of their beings here. They’d like to bond with the wolves to help. From what Ral is telling me, there are three high warriors that would consider it an honor if you three would allow it.”
“I will do this first, before my grandsons do this,” Maxim said. “We need to see how this affects us as a species. Do we do it now?” he asked, but already Alton knew one warrior, Bac, had entered his mate’s body.
Alton grabbed onto him, holding him down as the transition went through his body. It was a rough one, which brought a very wet Willow running out into the living room, followed by Tamara and Ana.
“What the hell is wrong?” Willow asked, holding a towel around herself.
“Go get dressed, he’ll be fine in a minute.” Alton said just as Maxim jumped up over the couch, his body shitting into something he hadn’t seen except on horror movies. Yep, it was quite a sight.
The women stepped back, except for Willow who ignored him and moved forward. “Willow!” Alton shouted, but she ignored him as she reached up and laid her hand on Maxim’s furry chest.
She was small compared to the beast that stood there at least eight feet tall, staring at her. “Maxim, are you okay?” she asked.
“Don’t think it, Bac. We don’t know if you are hers too,” Ral snapped, now moving towards their woman.
Willow looked up at him. “What do you mean? You mean your other is mine too?” her voice squeaked and Tamara laughed behind her.
“Welcome to my world. Lars’ other is also connected to me.” Tamara turned to Gage. “Are you going to go like that?”
“Yes,” he said and there was no waiting. The next being moved into Gage’s body as Maxim shifted and pulled Willow into his arms.
“I’m fine, but you were told to go put something on, please.” Maxim said, turning her around and smacking her ass. “Go,” Maxim moved to his grandson as Lars held Gage down as he too went through the merging, afraid he might hurt Tamara.
“I will expect a damn explanation for this. Four men? I don’t think so,” Tamara snapped and moved with Willow down the hall, followed by Ana who glared at Hedrick.
“Go on, do it, since it’s obvious you three didn’t even consider asking us.” Ana growled.
He glanced at Maxim and he sighed. “They’ll understand.” Maxim said as Hedrick changed next. It seemed the three warriors that were now here, were also friends with Ral.
He glanced at Baal, who shook his head. “I have enough, believe me, but thank them. I’m going to leave you to explain this to the women. Our first priority right now is to destroy the threat of Benitta. It has to be done now, so we can concentrate on this new and bigger threat. I’ll speak with you all in the morning.” He smiled as the women came in. “Good luck.”
Alton held out his hand and Willow moved to him, putting her hand into his. “This is going to be hard for you to hear, but know that Dylan is fine. Our son is protected by a very powerful warrior.”
“What?” she frowned.
“I knew the first time I touched Dylan he carried a Tarrs in him, as we all do now. But what we also found out is there is a bigger threat coming our way. That’s one of the reasons Ral’s people asked for more men to accept their gift. They want to stop this threat when it comes here.”
She shook her head. “What are you talking about? Dylan has a being living inside him?”
“Yes, he saved your son a few times from his father,” Alton said, immediately regretting it. She swayed and tears filled her eyes.
“I didn’t protect him enough?” she whispered.
“Great job,” Maxim said, and pulled Willow down in his lap. “Your son is fine and you have done everything you can to protect him. He just needed that extra protection.” Maxim placed a kiss on her cheek, hugging her.
“So what is this big threat that is coming here?” Ana asked, leaning against the wall, ignoring her mate.
“Not from this world. Think locusts, but on a very large scale. Six to eight feet tall, four arms, two eyes in the front and one it back and their fangs carry a poison that would knock down an elephant.” Alton took a seat just as Hedrick jumped across the room and lifted Ana in his arms as she started to slide down the wall.
Both Gage and Lars held onto Tamara as she stared at him. “Aliens, real life horror movie aliens are coming here?” she squeaked and looked up at Gage. “Can I have someone too?” she asked and Lars shook his head.
“No, I’m afraid only men. You carry life, but know all of us will be here to protect you and our children.” Gage said, placing a kiss on her cheek.
“Four! OMG,” Tamara’s gaze flew to Willow who sat up and stared at Maxim, then him.
“Really, four?” she whispered, then moaned. “That also means tighter ropes.” The three women groaned at the same time.
“Well, crap, now they’ll be on us like fly paper,” Tamara grumbled.
“Like they already aren’t?” Ana said.
Willow looked over at him. “When is this all supposed to happen?”
“From the information we have, they are expecting them to hit Earth’s orbit in two to three years,” Alton leaned over and placed a kiss on her lips. “It’s getting late. We should get some rest.”
“Yes, especially since grandpa there has a wrestling match tomorrow.” Gage teased, earning a growl as he stood holding Willow in his arms.
“Keep it up and I’ll drag your butt into the ring,” Maxim grumbled.
Alton turned to his son, but he’d already left. “Seems like someone’s not too happy about you being here,” Willow sighed and laid her head against Maxim’s chest.
“My son will get over it. He needs to get his head out of his ass, as my grandson has said,” Alton grumbled and Lars laughed, moving with Tamara in his arms.
“Give him some time, Willow. He still hasn’t embraced Tamara either, but he’ll find himself alone if he keeps it up. Night folks.” Lars said as they moved back towards their room, as though nothing had happened.
“Come, it’s been a long day and I know this one needs to sleep,” Maxim said moving towards her bedroom. Both of them had already decided they wouldn’t take their claim today, but wait, giving her time to adjust to them and their touch.
Alton stepped into the bedroom and closed the door behind him as Maxim lowered Willow down near the bed. “We know you are nervous, but relax. Tonight is just about holding and touching. We want you to get used to our touch, our kisses. Tonight is all about you, our little kitty.” Maxim said, stepping behind her so she faced him. From behind, Maxim slid her dress down her arms and let it slide down her body exposing her to his gaze.
She was stunning, full and round. Alton could see the little stretch marks from carrying her son. Her father’s and grandfather’s marks stood out against her olive skin, but only added to her beauty. Her nipples were hard and large, waiting for their touch. Alton took a deep breath taking in all that she was, her scent was strong as she could smell the wetness on her inner thighs. “Widen your legs, Willow,” he ordered. Alton watched as her breath hitched, but she did as he said.
He slid a finger up her wet thigh, getting his finger wet and bringing it up, circling her nipple with her own juices. “You are stunning and all ours. Never…” his gaze met hers. “And I mean never, run from us again, Willow. Talk to us if we do something you don’t agree with.” He pinched her nipple. “Even if we are furious, we will still stop and listen, I promise.” He lowered his head and sucked her nipple into his mouth, tasting her.
Willow reached up, but Maxim took her hands and put them back at her side. “No, Willow, you do nothing, but feel,” Maxim whispered against her neck. “I love your hair, so thick and wild, perfect to wrap around my hand.” Maxim demonstrated, tilting her head backwards as Alton released her nipple and went to his knees before
her.
Alton leaned in and took a deep breath. He didn’t know what it was, but her scent had him burning inside. Not even with… He growled, angry with himself. Willow was not his wife and never could be. Willow, their Little Kitty would be his soul and heart. His gaze traveled up and Alton watched Maxim kissing Willow, squeezing the same nipple he had in his mouth a few seconds ago.
Yes, they would share everything, even each other. Maxim broke the kiss and turned his head slowly to meet his gaze with a little smile on his face. “So true,” Maxim released her breast and reached down, but Alton caught his hand. “No, only her tonight.”
Maxim nodded. “Let’s take this to the bed.”
Alton jumped up and started stripping out of his clothes. “Willow, climb up and open yourself for me. I plan to feast on your cream.” He watched her crawl onto the bed, her round globes would be perfect for his hand when he claimed that sweet ass of hers. His cock throbbed, but Alton had learned patience long ago.
Thankful for a super king bed, Willow lay down in the center of the bed and smiled at him as she pulled her legs up and spread them wide. Alton watched Willow reach down and slide her fingers through her folds, touching herself.
“What are you doing, Little Kitty,” he growled and climbed onto the bed grabbing onto her wrist. “This is mine to play with, you don’t touch unless we tell you.” Alton leaned down and sucked her wet fingers into his mouth, moaning her taste a little bit of berry. “Tie her hands, Maxim,” he said, releasing her hand, placing it in Maxim’s.
“You had your ice cream, now I’ll have my dessert,” Alton mumbled. He separated her pussy lips, the little nub was swollen and needed attention. “Beautiful.”
“She’s actually embarrassed,” Maxim said, “Her face is flushed.”
Alton looked up at the same time he thrust his tongue into her pussy, watching her. Her breathing increased and he swore their kitty was purring. He lifted his head, glancing over at Maxim, knowing he was struggling with the other inside him. “How close are you?” Alton asked Maxim. These others might be trained warriors from another planet, but when it came to recognizing what was theirs too, the animal in them was very hard to tame.
Maxim jumped from the bed, and moved to the bathroom, shutting the door.
“Did I do something wrong?” Willow asked and tried to get up, but was tied to the bed. “Please, let me go to him,” she asked.
“No, Kitty, he needs to learn how to deal with his new partner.” Alton crawled over her body and untied her hands. Tonight they would go no further. He rolled her over, bringing her with him so she rested on his body. “I’m sorry we will not be able to take care of you tonight, but right now Maxim will need to recover after the change. I should have thought of that before. I’m sure the rest are having such a problem too. It’s hard to explain having these others inside us.” He leaned up and placed a kiss on her lips.
“I can wait, but I am worried about Maxim.” She glanced to the door frowning. “Why didn’t he just allow his other out. Aren’t they my mates too?” she asked.
“Yes, but you are not ready to be claimed by them yet. Plus, we must be able to seal our bond before that even happens. It is one of the aspects of sharing a body we have worked out since we are the ones with you every day, while they wander to whatever place they need to go.”
Willow frowned. “I don’t understand?”
She rested her head on his chest, but kept an eye on the bathroom door. “We are their home, their family, but while they are not needed here, they travel around helping others, but can be here in seconds if we feel threatened. It’s how they contact others of their kind.” Alton slid his hands down her back and cupped her ass cheeks. “You should have introduced yourself to me Willow and told me who you were?”
Chapter Five
Willow wrapped her fingers around her hot cup of coffee, staring out at the city she loved so much. Her men were passed out in bed upstairs and didn’t even budge when she had slipped out of the bed. It had been a long night for Maxim. An hour after going into the bathroom, he had finally come out, totally exhausted. She had curled up next to him, reassuring him she was fine and that he didn’t ruin anything.
Willow glanced up as Tamara and Ana came into the room with coffee cups in hand. “How is it we are wide awake and our men are sound asleep? Never have I been able to get out of bed without Hedrick knowing about it. Even though it is nice for once in awhile to just have time to gather myself.” Ana sat on the other end of the window seat as Tamara sat in the middle.
“I have a feeling…” Willow turned and smiled as her mother came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee, joining them. “Tamara, Ana, may I introduce my mother.” Willow got up, placing her coffee on the ledge and hugged her mom tight. “I was worried about you,” she said.
“There is no need to be. I’m fine and close. I’ll always be close to you, Willow.” Her mother smiled and looked over to her left to see her grandson, Dylan, there.
He rubbed his eyes and looked up seeing his Nana. He didn’t say a word, but ran to her and jumped in her arms, hugging her tight. “I missed you.”
“I missed you too, my little man, but you have family now that is here to get to know. You always wanted to meet your grandfather. Well he’s here now.” The rocker turned around on its own and her mother sat down in it with Dylan in her lap. “Plus, you have two daddies here to help you.” Her mom turned her gaze to Tamara. “I was really sorry to hear about your mother, but know this Tamara, if you need anything all you have to do is call me or Willow and we’ll be there for you.” She nodded to her belly.
“I know I can’t replace your mom, but know you are family. As you are too, Ana, but that is not why the men are sleeping late.” Her mom put Dylan beside her and picked up her coffee cup again, taking a sip.
“What’s wrong mom? Why risk coming here?” Willow asked.
“I wouldn’t leave if it wasn’t important. Until that spider lady is killed, your father and I can’t come together. She’ll go off the deep end and too many will die. But you three need to stand together. I don’t know when, but soon she’ll make her next move and you three are the key to stopping her. Also, you need to call in Denver and your other sisters. When dealing with this bitch, you will need all of you. Blood will destroy her.” Lydia sighed. “I hate to say this, but Denver is the key. Benitta still has a soft spot for Denver. You’re going to have to use this. It’s the only way he will be free as well. Call them in. This apartment is not big enough for all of those that will come. For now, Willow, I think you should take the penthouse at the hotel. You’ll be able to work with your brother and sisters.”
Laurann took another sip of her coffee before turning her gaze to Tamara.
“I don’t like to bring bad news to you, but you have a few traitors’ in your pack. Remember when one of the marked ones got into the pack house two months ago? I know your man wants to take you back to the pack house, but right now I think you are safer here. I would be remiss if I didn’t suggest it. You are close to my daughter and I hope, when the time is right, to call your daughter too.” Laurann smiled and sat back, taking a sip of her coffee, watching, not missing anything.
“Dylan, I expect you to be a good boy. I’ll be checking in from time to time, so I expect you to behave.” Her mom leaned down and placed a kiss on Dylan’s head. “Didn’t I tell you soon you would have a family? Now be safe, all of you.” Laurann glanced over her shoulder and smiled. “It’s my time to leave.”
Her mom disappeared just as Willow jerked, hearing the growl from her mom’s room. “Where is she?” her father came running out of the door. “I swear I’m going to spank her butt. Did you know?” her father asked and stepped up to Willow.
A bucket of ice water dumped over her father’s head. “You do not take that tone with our daughters?”
Willow looked over at Tamara, which was a total mistake as she glanced at her. They both burst out laughing, even her son and Ana started to l
augh. “No, father, we didn’t know,” Willow said, but then got serious. “But she did tell us something.” She just got done saying when Alton and Maxim came out of the bedroom not looking too happy. The same with Lars, Gage and Hedrick.
“So much for a quiet morning?” Tamara mumbled, earning a growl from Gage as he stomped over to her.
“You know better than to leave without telling us?” Gage said, glaring down at her.
“Excuse me? I’m in my sister’s home, so back off Wolfie. It’s not like I left the damn house. Now all of you go get coffee and we’ll…” she stopped as someone knocked on the door.
“I’ll get it. It’s part of our breakfast,” Willow said, at the same time Dylan jumped up to go with her.
“Do you think Mr. Sayles brought me the Bear Claw?” her son asked taking her hand, walking with her.
“I’m sure he did. You know Mrs. Sayles knows what everyone needs for breakfast.” Willow ruffled his head and made her way to the door, but Alton stepped in front of her.
“You’re going to answer the door in that?” Alton asked, his gaze traveled down her body.
She shrugged. “There is nothing wrong with it. I’ve known this couple since I was a child. He is Marco’s father and a good friend to my mom.” She patted his chest and leaned up, giving him a kiss on his cheek. “Relax, it’s a morning tradition around here.” Willow stepped around him, but Alton beat her to the door, throwing it open, which made the door bang against the wall.
Mr. Sayles jumped, obviously a little intimidated. “Did I come at a bad time?” he asked, holding up two large boxes of beignets, donuts, and his wife’s famous cinnamon rolls. Willow took a deep breath and moaned.
“No, you came at the perfect time. Everyone just got up and this is a wonderful treat. Please thank your wife for me. Mr. Sayles, are you sure you and your family won’t go visit someone for a few weeks?” Willow asked, taking the boxes and handing them to Alton. “Last night was just a trace of what is to come. We’ll have a breather today, but I don’t know when this person will attack again. I don’t want to lose you and your family. I would never forgive myself,” she said and placed her hand on the man’s arm, which earned a growl from Maxim who’d moved up next to her.
