Celestial Wulf Chronicles Book# 5 Sacrifice's

Disrespectful

Following Oshun's departure, I turn towards my uncle's guest home, rejoining my mate and family. With every step, Alejandro's powerful mate scent intensifies, fueling my desire to be with him. Lengthening strides carry me hurriedly. Finally, grasping the door's knob, I turn & push inwards. But a lite rapping sound on its opposite side stops me.

Leaning in to investigate, I see Alejandro standing directly on its opposite side. His left arm retracted upwards. He must have been coming to find me.

"Oh, sorry, Amor," I tell him. His gaze softens, seeing me. "I could not sense or scent you, Kojak." he says, then asks, "what happened?"

Crimson immediately speaks to me, "No, Reuben. You must not. You will change fate, and someone else will die. It could very well be our mates. Then sacrifices of all involved will have been for naught." Halting my intent. However, choosing not to ignore Alejandro's question, I tell him, "Oshun spoke of something significant."

"Annnd?"

"Life as we know it is in peril. We will face an ancient evil. We must prepare." My averting glance, tone of uncertainty, and shift in body language; Told Mulato I felt uncomfortable having to deny him. Mulatto did not miss any of it.

"It is something I cannot tell you, my love. I am sorry. Please understand." However, Alejandro's reaction stuns me. Speaking nonchalantly. "I know. Before she left, Oshun told me not to ask." smirking at me.

My wide-eyed gaze reflects my thought. "LITTLE SHIT!" Crimson huffs pleasant. "My mate is sly, is he not?" Astrally, Crimson sits on his haunches, his tail wagging.

Closing my eyelids, I shake my head disbelievingly. Reopening them, with a slight irritation in my own, I meet Mulato's gaze. Speaking slightly with Alpha authority at his deception. "You knew?... and you asked me anyway?" Charismatically, Mulatto coils his arms around my neck, looking deep into my emerald, green eyes.

His tone, coy yet apologetic. Alejandro peck kisses me. "I apologize, Kojak. It was sneaky, I know. But I hate secrets. It took me back to my amnesia state. Yet, seeing how uneasy you just were when I asked. It makes me feel like shit. Sorry?"

Turning his gaze down, away from me. "I um...um." I see Alejandro's guilt; so also does Crimson. Causing Crimson to react with a mental growl. His wulf speak a cold warning. "I understand why he did it, Reuben. Reassure him and end this. I will not see my mate in discomfort."

"Woo, bud. I already dismissed it."

Crimson's mood calms. Influencing me to smoothly pull Mulato closer to me. Mulato returns his gaze. Our foreheads touch. "It's alright, Mulato. I am struggling with it myself. I never want to keep secrets from you, my love. But she is...." Alejandro abruptly cuts me off.

Pulling Reuben's head to me, I end his words with a kiss. When I pull back, Reuben physically seems relaxed. "This deception is my fault. It's alright, Pa. It's alright. As Alpha & Luna, we are the ones celestials will approach.

But as Alpha, they will you approach first, mainly because this matter involves me directly."

Ignoring the unsettling irritation I have. Reuben's emerald green orbs dance with shock towards me. Reuben asks. "Mulatto, how... did you?..." Smirking with lifted eyebrows. "Pretty simple to figure out my bruiser, mate. Your talking about my guardian angel not including me???? The Luna of celestial Guardian Mountain Pack? Yea, right."

With discomfort, Reuben speaks. His arms pull me closer to him. "Sorry, Mulato... Trust me?" Continuing, I say. "Till the day I die. Reuben. Till the day I die." Reuben corrects this. "No Amor Mio (my love). Dueno de mi alma (owner of my soul). Until the day WE DIE. Because on that day. The sunrise will witness two deaths."

"Together Forever, remember?" Alejandro nods, yes. Clasping Alejandro's hand in mine. Together, we turn, looking up the corridor, Mulatto, and I are confronted with the concerned gazes of our family. Mine meet the weighted gaze of Cary. I go to wulf speak with a slight nod, but Crimson stops me once more. "NO."

Hearing this, Estrella makes her presence known, illuminating Cary's eyes. "No, my young Alpha." Her wisdom tone holds a firmness I respect; At least for now. My response, given with a slight head nod forward and quick closing of my eyelids.

Dona Francisca, aware of what transpired and senses, a distraction as we approached, speaks up, breaking resurfacing tension. "If I may, my young celestial guardian Alpha. I understand conversations with celestial Guardians are private and respected. So, I apologize for interrupting." Bowing her head respectfully. "Perhaps answers will come tomorrow at MISA (spiritual seance)?."

Cary's gaze travels to Dona Francisca, as do all present. Estrella radiates her guardian energy through Cary's body. Her presence felt denser when she spoke. "I agree. Within just a few hours of our arrival, much has already happened. Let's eat, then retire for the night." Changing tone to one more pleasant, Randall comically interrupts Cary. "I kno aiight? WOW, Heffa wanna play wit, my sista man. Uh, uh, uh. She didn't kno; she Didn't KNO. We SUAREZ'S izz CRAZIIEEE!"

With but a Stoic glance to him, Estrella ends my brother-in-law's sass. "Sorry, mama Alpha," snickering, turning his head down. Yet, his quick gaze. Met by his equally grinning lips curled accomplice, Alejandro. Estrella continues.

"I believe Dona Francisca has prepared a dinner waiting to be eaten?" Alejandro stands immediately, so he does not see my lingering gaze on Cary as she had turned to face Dona Francisca. Even from our mate bond, Mulatto does not feel wrenching emotional ache welling within me... and he won't.

Crimson immediately suppressed it. Yet, it is moving my gaze; I catch another's eyes on me. I meet his knowing. I learn my Beta's gift of perception is deadly. Making Randall another matter.

"Da air around Alpha's body? It blazed for a fraction of a second. His aura showed orange, yellow, and crimson red dances astrally burnin da air molecules all around him. Den suddenly. It's gone. Like someone snapped der fingas. Wat da fuck happen with da goddess. My lingerin look to Alpha causes him not to look ta ta me. He knos I caught it. Hmmm. "Strange."

Without lookin ta her. I shoot mama Alpha a wulf speak. But mama shuts me down. "I saw it to baby. Estrella showed me Crimson's aura as well. Crimson is following Oshun's instructions, and we will follow our Alpha's. He is our Alpha baby; it is not our place to disobey. I am sorry .... My Beta.." An ever so nonchalant pivot of her head.

"Again, mama used da title. WAT DA FUCK! Mama is usin our status as leaders IN WULF SPEAK??! Fuelin my need ta kno. Sumtin wrong. Very wrong. VERY, VERY WRONG! In a second, my little brother shoots me a very private wulf speak. Proven he ain't no fool either."

"I know, Randall. I am dying to know. But Sable told me to leave it be.." Luna says via wulf speak in passing when he and Alpha rejoin us.

"Beta, I want you to talk with toti. Find out what is going on. Why I am being excluded. Even by celestials. Being that she used our ranks. Address her as Beta you are. Tell TOTI it is from YOUR LUNA."

The tone of Alejandro's wulf speak held irritated aggression. He will pull rank. With a tiny acknowledging nod of my head and a slightly subdued wulf spoken manner, "Yes. Luna.".

In an instant, I turn from Luna about ta talk with Bella in human form, we both simultaneously drop ta-da ground like shit plops holding our heads. "AHHHH!!" Waves of static electrical waves appear in nanoseconds, spreading throughout Luna's body crackling. Sable roars, "HOW DARE YOU!!" with wulf spoken fury.

With deafening explosion, Sable's wulf spoken bellow, reverberating in our heads. Leavin me ta only imagined what he doin in Luna's. But Cocoa is no slouch. Wind gusts explode outwards. Da fuker breaks me as well, bellowing, "YOU...WILL...NEVER!!!!." Simultaneously, both unleash their anger.
