Sinister Obsession

-11- FLIGHT

Exactly seven days later, we enter passing the sliding doors of LaGuardia Airport. Ready to deal with the inpatient human's lines and be on our way to Cuba. I watch my parents, Robert and Bella look around wide-eyed with great trepidation from the busyness and loud noises.

Mulato was not much better. Ironically, only Randall and I remained unaffected by the bustling humans. Still, thank the goddess for the effects Cary's elixirs are having on everyone else.

At Cary's suggestion, a day prior to leaving the pack territory. She had an elixir made for the protection of the mass number of humans we would encounter. This morning as she handed each one a small cup about the size of a dentist rinse cup. Cary explained its intended effects.

"This will aid with our senses and maintaining our nerves. By relaxing both our nerves and dulling our senses to the level of humans." adding "I have taken the caution of only casting a spell to dull just our nerves. Luna, yours I made a little different. A celestial Guardian is naturally immune to such spells. So I have made yours to feed you Reuben's and Beta's emotions when traveling."

Alejandro chuckled as he responded "So my bodyguards are Psycho and Felicia beat ya? Tell me how that is better?" causing everyone to agree while laughing. Ironically Papi and everyone agreed.

Saying contrary to its greenish-brown appearance. Its taste and aroma were pleasant and spicy. Similar to nutmeg. Having presumed Mulato like myself, had grown accustomed to plane travel. PAINFULLY I LEARNED, I was wrong.

After exiting the car and retrieving our luggage, Mulato reached and held me hand. I could feel his sweat between our palms building. Alejandro's grip slowly become stronger and more discomforting. Fuck it ws becoming painful! Tighter and tighter Mulato squeezed until softly I mention it

"Ummmm, Mulato? My love. My breath in my lungs." He turns from gazing in awe to me "yes Kojak". His steel vice grip at this point, was crushing the hell out of my hand like a bear trap! Bending my body slight tilt backwards like a rock star squinting my eyes and lips.

"Could you let my hand go? I have lost the use of my fingers."

It took a moment, but I realize what Reuben meant when he held up our hands. Looking at my hold on his hand "OHHH. I am soo sorry." immediately letting go, Chuckling at Reuben who begins immediately flexing and massaging his fingers. Giving me a fake smile and eye squint he nods "It's ok. it's ok."

Cradling his freed hand like a baby. Dramatically kissing it "My sweet baby. Did the big bad Luna hurt you? come here muahmuah. Papi makes it better." I laugh then make clear something I noticed about my alpha mate since yesterday "Reuben, you're in a great mood."

Smiling, I look at Mulato and everyone. "We are going to my hometown mulatto. YES, I am. Sorry if I'm behaving childishly."

Arching up on my toes to kiss his cheek. "Nah. Its cute Kojak, just never saw you behave that way before. I am glad your happy." A smirk on my face. Matching the smirk Toti, Don Yonell, Rosa, Randall, and Robert had as well.

Ignoring everyone grimacing at me, I respond to mulatto "Good thing you had your morning coffee. I think you would have broken my hand." I tell him going to rub my hand again although it is fine.

"Sorry, really I am Kojak." Reuben leans down as we reach the line to peck kiss my cheek in the crowded airport. "It's ok, you can break anything you want my love." straightening up, I see Beta roll his eyes.

UGH. Alpha is really excited about this. So much, he is really being mushy with Luna in public. Wow. I shot a wulf speak to mama and Robert "MAMA, gurl you see that? Alpha really happy we goin ta his home country. He ain't never been so mushy in public?" Robert chimes in.
