Celestial Wulf Chronicles: Trapped

Chapter-12- Alexi : Arrival

I was awakened to the aroma of Randall's cooking. Sitting up, I saw they laid me on the sofa. Standing up I head to the kitchen. Randall, hearing me coming , starts with his sassiness "SHE-BITCH. Youuur up? How was your beauty nap Broom Hilda?" watching me as I come into the ktichen. Still groggy, my verbal response shows it by my grumpy tone "ok, where's Carmen?" "Setting up spells for the night. You know her; always da cautious one".  Rolling his eyes he turns back to washing the salad in the large strainer. Walking away from him to the living room window, I look outside. Sure enough, there she is. She is deeply focused in her casting. The nine orbs she summons, form appearing before her. Hovering, suspended in mid-air around her listening to her commands.

I watch, as per her instructions, they head to the property's edge situating themselves there. From the cautionary nature she has the orbs positioning themselves I know exactly the type of spell she is casting. A Protection Barrier Spell.

Often times back home, Carmen would ask me to accompany her to our territory borders so she can reinforce them. She does it for protective measures to keep humans from accidentally knowing our secret. All they will see are fellow humans.

I never understood why. But She is da shit! I do so Looooove watching her do this. Her arms begin glowing with mystical energy as do her eyes, fascinating. Carmen makes spell weaving look so natural. Like a Ballet dancer swaying their arms, expressing the music they are dancing to.

Randall joins me, standing to look out the window for a moment. Following my gaze to rest it on Carmen. He talks in a soft voice. One with admiration which is unlike his usual sassy self "My Bitch witch hazel Carmen. is something else huh gurl?". Taking my eyes off her, I look at him briefly with a smile before returning my gaze to Carmen still casting "Yeah man, I would hate to be on her Bad side " grinning. We chuckle.

"Listen, girl," Randall says "She deeply loves you and would protect you with her life, Just as I would. I never told you this ALEXI, but Carmen lost her mother & daughter 13 yrs ago one the same day. It took her 12 years to find her fire again, her ferocious will to protect." Shock turns me to Randall "What?" He continues "Yeah gurl she lost the two things so important ta her it destroyed her spirit & reason to protect us. The sudden loss was so bad, not even Mama Alpha could bring her out of it"

My eyes shift back out the window, watching her weaving more barrier spells. Suddenly it felt like I was seeing her for the first time. Carmen. As I watch her weave yet another spell & see luminescent white energy come forth from her arms again I ask "How did she find herself again?"

Slowly turning my way Randall rests his right hand on my shoulder "You Alexi, she found you. You became her reason to be strong again. A protector who needed protecting. So when you "talk" Beyotch, go easy. She is my mentor and OUR pack sister."

Without saying another word leaving me stumped, Randall opens the window, his voice returning to its gay flair again while calling out to Carmen "Yoo hoo, ho witch Hazeeeel dinner ready BEYOTCH!" Keeping her back to him as she casts, Carmen flicks him a middle finger with her free left hand. We bust out chuckling and Randall screams "BITCH IM GAY!! NNOOO THANKS!!".

A few minutes later, Carmen enters the house as Randall turns off the stove joining me in setting the table while explaining the houses history to me. "This cabin has been in our pack for generations. Its basement has 3 rooms. Each room has a metal barred cage within it and a window just out of reach. After you enter the cage the door self-locks and it can only be opened from either a ceiling panel or from a button at the top of the stairs. I will show you the cages when we are done eating. The purpose is for wulves who have turn savage. I need you to believe and trust me Alexi with what I am about to ask. We are special, and you more so than me. Because of that, it would be safer for you if you stay in one of the cages for the night in case you phase."

Turning defensive I yell at him "FUCK NO! WHY!?". Carmen, who had been listening quietly, looks at Randall saying, "told you" Rolling his eyes and huffing at her. Randall shoots out an open palm "STOP" hand to Carmen saying "Gurl I got dis. Watch a sista work" A mischievous smirk appears on his face to her. Making her roll her eyes in that OH NO fashion. Bella comes into the kitchen adding to it "you can't lock him up against his will. You know why". As if she never Wulf Spoke, Randall ignores Bella to start serving dinner on our plates. Setting them in front of us.

Without speaking during dinner, I begin thinking of his proposal. Considering everything that has happened to me today. Maybe it's not such a bad idea? Internally though, the thought of being in a cage starts to creep me out. But I must be losing my mind because now I stop eating "Um Randall how about you show me the rooms later?" His eyes change looking to mine, they hold an apologetic gaze in them. Randall tells me "Sure you don't want to finish eating that first gurl?"

Randall pauses from saying anything else. Turning his gaze he looks to Carmen while I am looking at him. Carmen stares back at Randall and for a moment they are silent. Later I learned they shared a Wulf speak relating to what he is about to do. Randall looks to me again and finishes his statement....... "Sable."

"Sable?? You just called me SABLE? who is he? My name is ALEXI." Our eyes meet, but my voice tone instantly transforms turning deeper, baritone, powerful. This name meant something. It begins to enter pouring mystical energies into me at it's mention My body comes alive with a powerful ferocious surge of mystical power. It escalates, seen coming up thru the floor beams.. Outside, clouds began to form, producing the sound of thunder. Randall suddenly looked nervous, his eyes dancing around him as if searching for something. So, did Carmen

AT that very moment I however, a pounding headache takes me. I grabbed the sides of the table from the pounding, and stand straight up now, sending my chair toppling and sliding backward. I start seeing black growing spots forming darkening my vision front of me. I bend forward falling off the table sliding downwards onto the floor. I begin passing out hearing Randall's last words, soo mournful "Sorry gurl I am soo sorry ta have done it this way."

The growing darkness blurs my sight. Yet I hear myself snarl at him and vaguely see his reaction. So strong and powerful I feel this growl come up and out of me it causes Randall, Carmen and Bella to kneel on their spot and bow their heads. The snarl of a beast awakening.

I saw him MY WULF BROTHER. It's an omen of what is to come. While still kneeled. I look to Randall "Alexi's eyes, they glowed with intensity, It's Sable Randall he is coming.... tonight. I have to go reinforce the barriers. This is going to be a rough night. His first phase in Thirteen years. His full power is going to be unleased. Hopefully Sable returns his memory with his phase. If not" I look at Randall the look in my eyes relayed my fear. "Goddess, I pray the barriers will hold his might."

I see her look, worried "Gurl. You're my dangerous BEYOTCH! Of course, they will." But internally, I know why Carmen said dat. Sable's a Celestial Guardian. Only mama Alpha can create a barrier to deflect fully his power. Both being Celestials. Their power is a gift from the Goddess herself. As such, it dwarfs all sups.

I rush heading out the door, but give Randall a look with a growl in my tone "Do I have to spell it out for you?" "He is going to be out for the rest of the day. But he will wake up." The heaviness in this fact weighs heavily on us "Let's hope his mate gets here before then. If not, I might have to reduce the barrier to protect just you, me and Bella."
