My mate almost attacked me. Impossible. How can this be? We just made love. Yet just now, Sable saw me as a threat, hellbent on tearing me apart. What is going on? I know Mulato is not addressing me. I know he heard Mulato address him, but Crimson, his 'Crim' does not answer and suddenly, I no longer feel him.
He has astrally receded immediately after the incident. He is abating the question? "Bud?" For the first time, Crimson does not answer me. Growing angrier I ask "Crimson what the fuck just happened?" Again, he does not answer. This shit is pissing me off "I am asking you a question Crimson?" Nothing.
For a brief moment, looking quickly to my own mother and Cary before looking to mulatto, I witness an exchange of gaze and a slight head nod between the pair. They know something about this. Seeing, I am staring. They immediately change their attention, looking at Mulato. For the better of it, I do the same.
The immediate pounding sound of thundering footsteps come towards us. With a turn a form as large as my own comes racing towards us, my father. His eyes lock on me registering my bewildered gaze. Not stopping, papi blows past me going to the trio reaching to help Alejandro. Alejandro who is leaning against the island countertop asking "Luna, what happened?!" Supporting him, papi (father) takes my mate under his left arm supporting him.
Before Alejandro answers, we hear a second set of loud footfalls thundering down the stairs growing louder. "Luna!" His voice holds no less their concern. Combined with, a sudden booming thud as another wulf, large, having leaped over the banister, lands on the ground floor with a slamming echo sound racing towards the kitchen.
His equally baritione threatening voice heard "FATHER!!" Ben. Right behind Randall & Robert, his shirtless massive bulk thunders in. All ember eyes, showing luminescence energy briefly turn towards him.
But it is Beta ahead of him, entering the kitchen of the quartet, who is first to reach Mulato "Alejandro! WHAT HAPPENED GURL?!" followed by the questioning glances of everyone else. Faust, Thom, and Ben. Ben takes over. Shows his anxiety to reach mulatto with growling aggression.
The others step aside allowing him to access his father. Ben embraces Alejandro powerfully sheltering him, hiding him into his chest unintentionally glaring at everyone around him with a growl. His intent clear.
"Luna WHAT HAPPENED!" asks Robert
"Luna ARE YOU ALRIGHT!" Thom asks, all voices heard holding concern.
"FATHER" Ben's low but powerful threatening growl combined with piercing amber copper luminescent glowing eyes. Stare down at his father. He leans his forehead touching Mulato's head.
The growling Revs' in my son's throat, do not cease. Serving to warn to all present while he enfolds my mulato almost completely. Understanding, everyone steps back to give a little more space knowing the reaction is out of fear when it comes to either of his fathers.
Alejandro responds" I am fine." tapping Ben on his side " Pls Baby bear.... you're smothering me." Only then does our son release him from within his protective grasp.
Mulatto's hand caresses Ben's face. It was all Ben needed for reassurance. Yet Alejandro' eyes locked stoically on me, causing all present to grow quiet. Slowly, Alejandro finished steadying himself on his feet, helped by Ben and Randall. Then steps to me. Behind him, explanations in low voices, are shared with what occurred.
Alejandro's gaze softens, Reaching me, his left hand reaches up to gently caress my face soothing my own mounting frustration and worry, convincing my own eyes on him to momentarily hide their emerald green color behind my closing eyelids.
"It's not you Kojak. Something happened. Something appeared thru you causing Sable to want to kill you. Something he called "The Dark One." Crimson knows pa, but he has retreated from you, I can sense it.
Something he has never done. Is he hiding something. Why? What reason does he have to hide something from me?"The warming grounds and shooting lava in the center of the lake recedes. Its sulfuric smell fades. My mate is safe.
A slight ache in my chest develops while meeting the upwards gaze of mulatos' eyes. IT has returned. A look I saw ten years ago. I saw this gaze once before; when I had returned from deep sleep.
The look of searching, feeling lost, wanting answers which once again, elude him....once again he is confused, his trust once more doubtful towards those he is supposed to trust most.
I don't understand what just occurred with my wulf soul companion, but I will not hide anything from Mulato. Since strengthening my bonding with Crimson, I have sensed something in him also.
Something which Crimson has, til now, kept shielded. I had left it to his discretion to tell me. Not paying much attention, respecting his privacy. That is until now.
My angry emotions ablaze seeing, what I SWORE HE WOULD NEVER GO THRU THIS AGAIN! Leaning into him, I embrace mulato kissing him hard. Holding him tighter to me When I release him, we touch foreheads for reassurance. Silent for just a moment, all eyes remain focused on us. Everyone hears the tenderness of which I address my Alejandro "I don't know mate. But are you alright?"
he nods yes. Once reassured he's ok I lift my head, my tone deepening ending with human anger. "BUT I AM ABOUT TO FUCKING FIND OUT." Looking at my family everything about me changes. I address them with an Alpha tone releasing Mulato
"If you all will excuse me. BEN."
Ben nods "Yes dad?"
"Stay with your father."
Turning, I stalk for the kitchen porch doors, all heads bow. Alejandro goes to join me. Without looking to him I hold up my right hand outwards. One finger held upright in a clenched fist stops him
"Alone Mulato. Alone. FOR I WILL HAVE ANSWERS"
"Where are you going Kojak?"
"To see a necromancer Queen about reading with the dead. If Crimson will not speak to me, then I will go to someone who will. I will have answers."
Powerful stomping sounds are heard bouncing off the steps in my descent down the six stairs. To begin my way towards Joaquina. Stalking my way forward, I shoot an irritated wulf speak to Joaquina addressing her by title, showing my intent "Necromancer Queen. I will have counsel with you and the spirits."
But there was no need. Evident in the mist I now see, thick as smoke, rolls along the ground coming out of the surrounding woods. Lead solely by many pairs of living blinking red wulf eyes, coming to swirl around the Caretakers Facility. Reaching their home as if climbing, it rises blanketing the facility completely.
It is completely hidden save for the front entrance which is left clear for my approach. Given this response I know, Cary had already informed her.
"Yes, my alpha we are ready, for they also wish to commune with you." Her wulf speak cold, dead in tone. She is waiting for me. The closer I get to their home, the colder the thickening mist surrounding me becomes. Approaching the pea soup thickened haze, I hear whispers within
"Awakened. Alpha He comes. The consumer of souls. Bringer of death. Darkness approaches. Death. A light fades" and still Crimson does not appear.
