Moonlight Sun 2

ManEater

I knew something didn't smell right when I walked outside of the cottage. This was the time to ignore all bad feelings and enjoy my last few days as a free man, but this was a nagging feeling, that I couldn't shake. Then the scent hit my nose, and my whole demeanor changed.

"Hello Randall!" she was walking up to the cottage from the main dirt road.

"Alana, honey!" I smirked. "Couldn't wait for our wedding night? All hot and bothered just thinking about me huh?"I lifted my shirt revealing my six pack. "Penny for your thoughts, baby?" I winked.

She grimaced. "Is Kenyon home?"

I raised and eyebrow. "What do you need with Kenyon?" I asked defensively.

Just then Kenyon and Sorrell walked up from the other side of the ranch. I watched Alana looking like a vulture zeroing in on her prey. I jogged over to her side and placed my arm around her, she tried to pull away but I pulled her closer.

"Kenyon, hi!" greeted Alana pulling away from me again. "It is so good to see you again."

"Hi Alana!" said Sorrell politely. "How have you been?"

She forced a smile looking at Sorrell. "I am doing good." the looked over at Kenyon. "Kenyon why aren't you waring the cuff I made you?"

Kenyon looked down at his hand. "Alana, I'm sorry. I left it on my dresser"

She shrugged pretending to be sad. "It's okay, it was just my way of showing you that I admired you, that's all."

Kenyon looked sincerely concerned. "I'm sorry, Alana, I'll go put it on."

"It's fine." she said. "I just came to ask, if you were still going to teach me how to double shift."

"Alana, I'm sorry." he said. "It must have slipped my mind. "

"Well, I wanted to surprise my dad before the alpha ceremony, I was wondering if you could teach me today."

He smiled at Sorrell and held her closer. "Well, we are going to have a courting ceremony tonight, but I could teach you tomorrow."

She smiled excitedly. "That would be magnificent Kenyon. Thank you so much!"

"Kenyon, you still have to teach me to double shift." I cut in.

Alana's nostrils flared as she looked at me.

"Why don't you kill two birds with one stone." I suggested. "It will be like a couple's class." I smirked in her direction, she frowned.

"I want to learn how to double shift." joked Sorrell."Kenyon will you teach me?" she said flirtatiously.

Kenyon smiled mischievously. "I could teach you some things?" He pulled her close and gently kissed her lips.

Alana rolled her eyes and walked off, I went after her.

"You think I don't know what your up to?" She didn't stop so I grabbed her by the arm and turned her around to face me. "As your future husband, you better listen and you listen good." I said. "If you ever pull anything like that again..-"

"Are you threatening me?" She hissed as she jerked away.

"I don't threaten." I jeered."My little brother is off limits! Do you understand?"

"What's the matter? Afraid of the competition?" she snapped.

I never in my life wanted to hit a woman before that moment. My nostrils, flared my teeth clenched, my fist were balled at my sides, and I am pretty sure my eyes lit up.

"Don't get your panties in a bunch." She said. "Just a little innocent flirtation. It's good for him, he looks at that human like she's the only girl in the world. He can do so much better."

"That's not any of your business, Alana!" I said. "Go home!"

"Fine!" she said. "I guess I'll see you and your brother tomorrow then." She smirked.

I watched her strut off, wondering what she had up her sleeve. All I knew was that it would be a cold day in hell before I let her do anything to hurt my family and now that Sorrell, was about to become a pack member she was a part of it.

As I began to walk back to the cottage I was met by Sorrell and Kenyon.

"Randy, is everything okay?" Asked Sorrell.

I wasn't sure if she saw my eyes return to their normal color, but I still tried to play it off. "I'm fine." I said. They both looked concerned.

"Well, we are about to go ask Sorrell's father if she can stay late for the ceremony. It supposed to be a bonfire ceremony." He reminded me.

I nodded. "Right. I remember."

"Did you read the notes I gave you about, the alpha's role?" Kenyon asked.

"Uh, yeah!" I said. "Everything is going to be perfect." I smiled. "I can't wait."

I walked back into the cottage and sat down on the couch to calm down. I couldn't believe that Alana would stoop so low as to try and flirt with my little brother in front of me, and his girlfriend. The was the woman I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with?I wanted to throw something. I wanted to scream. I kept it all bottled inside.

I would deal with it another time, now I had to get ready for the ceremony. This was my first opportunity to be a ceremonial alpha. I ran upstairs and got Dad's tribal necklace, and tried it on for the first time. I let out a sigh, pleased with how it looked. Now I had to find something to wear, that would look alpha-worthy.

When I found an outfit I was pleased with, I decided to shower off my frustration and get dressed. I thendecided to read some more of my mother's journal as I waited for Kenyon and Sorrell to get back.
