The Alphas' Brother

Chapter 21

"Saaaaaaasha, hey mama!" I coo while hugging the six year old little dirt troll enjoying the soft giggles that ring as she pets my face. Nuzzling her grimy little cheek I place her on to the ground with a chuckle when she takes off for her parents. She crashes against Aaron's leg resulting in him tumbling over. Tiana quickly snatched her daughter up before Aaron could fall on her, Tiana scolds her lightly about running around but Sasha only giggles then kisses her mother on the cheek. Malachi whines at the thought of our pups eager to get back to them.

I sigh quietly tossing around the idea of going back home to greet my babies. It's only been an hour since I left the house and I know that the runs Rhiver goes on are usually an hour or two. Well if I leave it won't be like everyone's going to notice, especially Coda. The colony is getting Coda prepared for when he takes over for Aaron. With Coda being freshly turned eighteen he will soon be taking the throne as leader. I'm so happy for my best friend. I am positive that he will be a great leader for this colony. So with the colony all frazzled trying to get Coda ready I barely had the time to have a fully conversation with him since I got here, we were talking about him meeting my pups but he was quickly whisked away by a few of the elder woman of his colony. I'm sure he wouldn't mind me leaving a little earlier than usually, of course I would have to say good bye though.

With my mind settled on seeing my pups I set of to find Coda. While walking around calling out for him I found out that others were looking for him too. The elderly women mentioned that he snuck off while the woman were giving him tips on how to care for the younglings. Apparently it is a necessity for the leaders to know how to care for every member of their colony, of all age groups. He snuck away from the colony? Where did that giant dirt ball run off too. Knowing Coda he probably went in to the woods, I don't know what is wrong with that kid but he just loves being in the woods. Even more than me, and I fucking love it!

It took some time trekking through trees and even nearly busting my face on fallen tree before I managed to find Coda. He is so lucky I could never hurt him or I would tackle and slap him for making me go through this journey to find him. I quickly walk over to him silently taking a seat next to the giant beast. As Coda aged his height grew faster now at the age of eighteen he is now taller than his father, who is currently ten feet tall. All the adults are monsters in height I feel like an ant compared to them. Coda tilts his head glancing at me quietly then rolls over so that he is laying right beside me. Laying next to Coda kind reminds me of a movie I once watched, Hercules. When Hercules first went to the temple of Zeus and Zeus' statue came to life. Hercules was so tiny compared to Zeus, just like how I am to Coda.

"Hey Pip, What is it like having babies?" Coda questions curiously

I hum softly at the question tucking my arms underneath my head and gaze up at the tops of the trees, "Its work. A lot of time, energy and attention. Sometimes one of the pups will wake up, come in our room and wake us up with loud yapping and eventually they wake up their siblings. The first week was the first time I had gotten less than eight hours of sleep a night." I chuckle Coda winces at that.

"But regardless of the fact that I may lose sleep, or that the pups like to chew things and the like its an amazing thing. A litter of beautiful beings that my mates and I created. I love being able to play with them, bathe them, feed them. Just being able to have something so young and innocent to depend on me. To look to my mates and I to protect them. It's an overwhelming amount of love I have for those little things." I gush lovingly just picturing the moment I get back to my babies and finally get to love on all of them.

Coda chuckles deeply the air vibrating with his amusement, "You sure love your pups, Pip. Hopefully I can meet your pups one day, be sure to bring Rhiver and Blaze. Your mates are super entertaining. Anyway, why did you come out here? Was Sasha annoying you?" Shaking my head I push myself off of the ground walking over to Coda and leaning against his chalky body.
