THE AWAKENING OF THE CHOSEN

The ramblings of a rogue

"What's up Zion?" Kevin, his beta, which basically meant his second in command, asked as he came into his office. He was still smiling from the time he’d spent with his mate earlier that day. Kevin paused, taking a moment to look him over. “Man, your energy has changed.”

“How so?”

“Man, I feel your powers radiating. You can’t feel that?”

He did feel somewhat charged. Ever since he left his Love, he felt energized which he contributed to the mate bond. Sweet Kaleigha was driving him insane. Czar could not get enough of her, and neither could he. He could have spent hours feeding off her, actually he had. She was definitely his favorite meal. He’d only planned on talking to her, but he couldn't help himself. He could not wait to f**k her senseless and pour his seed into her. He planned on going by later to actually have a conversation and he knew she was tired of being cooped up in the room, so he was making arrangements to move into his own space with her. She was his Mate, and he wanted her close to him. He simply could not resist any longer. His father would be angry. He had gained a little respect for her today. He felt she was weak. To see how fiercely intent, she was on snuffing out poor Lewis's life made him proud. He would have been sad to lose him, after all he was harmless. His mate nagged him all the time and sometimes he got annoyed. Instead of saying something to her, he took it out on other pack members. His Kitten was very fond of River, he was sure the pup had latched on to her because he had always been close to his sister. She was mated with a Beta in the Red Blood River pack in Colorado. So, she did not visit home much.

“I guess my powers are starting to surface. I was getting kind of worried. Maybe later we could get a little practice in.” Zion felt like he could use a run as well. He had been researching the Chosen since his parents first told him he was the one. So far, he didn’t feel any different than any other wolf. He did have one special ability that no other wolf that he had known had. Otherwise, there was nothing that made him stand out. Now that he had Kaleigha though he felt it. The beginning of something he could not explain.

” So how is Kali Kool Kat?” Kevin called her by a nickname he had given her.

“Dude she is driving me insane. Her heat is too much." He said still unable to contain his smile.

"I can't believe you haven't marked her yet," Kevin said, "her scent would have driven me insane by now.”

It was driving him insane, nearly mad. He had so much to focus on that it helped oddly enough throwing himself into work. Work was his way at attempting to spend as little time with her as possible. The mate bond was so strong and each day it grew stronger.

"I wish I could say this visit was not business-related but that would be a lie. I was talking with Michael this morning." Michael was his Delta. He was responsible for training the warriors and the enforcers. His territory was spread out so far, they had both. The enforcers typically stayed with the pack. Enforcing their laws whereas the warriors guarded their territory against rogues. Right now, Michael was responsible for keeping peace among the pack as well. Originally this was Levi's position which was Michael's brother. Unfortunately, he was forced to put him down during the journey from Kaleigha's home to Mystic Moon. He simply could not resist and went for her. It was hard for him because Levi and he were friends since childhood as well. He had to protect his mate, so he did what needed to be done. He ripped his throat out. It was still unsettling to think about, and it hurt him to his heart especially when he bumped into his mom and dad. Especially when he had to interact with Michael. Zion looked up when he heard the knock on the door. "Come in."

Michael looked stressed as he entered his office.

"Zion hello," Michael was always soft-spoken the opposite of Levi, but only a fool would take this as a weakness; he came from a line of fierce warriors. He was very kindhearted though and people often came to him with their problems. So, it made sense for him to play both roles in the absence of his brother. At least for now until he found a suitable replacement. He once asked Michael why they came to him instead of their Alpha. He told Zion he was less approachable. He never understood that his father quickly developed a reputation as a young Alpha for being domineering and arrogant. Feared by most until he met his mate. He was the complete opposite. He enjoyed conversations with his pack members and felt no need to throw his weight around. Unless he felt you were being disrespectful and then he did what was necessary. Respect was a must because he gave it freely, so he demanded this in return. His parents had always taught him the importance of having a Mate, and the mate bond. Now that he had Kaleigha by his side he planned to grow their pack and to do things that had never been done before. He still couldn't believe how stubborn his father was about his relationship with Kaleigha.

"Hello Michael, Kevin was just about to tell me about some of the concerns within the pack." Typically, these matters came to him. His father had started delegating duties to him at age seventeen. The pack considered him the Alpha although it was not official and would not be until he found his mate. Now that he had found her it was just a matter of time before he took over completely.

"Zion the pack is divided. Some of them are considering leaving. They feel like they are no longer safe here with Kaleigha's presence."

"How dare they question my decisions. I am the Alpha! Call a town hall meeting. It's time to settle this now. I will not have people thinking they can disrespect me or my Luna in any way!"

"Part of the problem lies at the feet of your father's chosen. Emoni is talking to anyone who will listen to her. She is rallying up followers." Michael said.

"To what?" Kevin asked.

"I'm not sure what her end game is. Surely she does not still think she has a chance since you have found your Mate." Michael shrugged.

'Zion come to my office immediately! We have a problem.' His father mind linked him.

"What is it?" Kevin asked as he rose.

"My father says we have an urgent matter." They followed him to Alpha Lucas's office. Lucas was not easily intimidated in the least but walking into the room he could tell his father was suffering some discomfort.

He looked at Zion with a smirk before saying. "Zion, this is Alpha Xander from the Shadow Moon Pack." Why was I not informed there was an Alpha entering my territory were Zion's first thoughts? He was immediately on edge.

"He is here due to the excessive rogue attacks with news he thought we would like to hear." Alpha Xander nodded. Offering a firm handshake to Zion he began,

"A few days ago, we picked up a rogue traveling through our territory. He was sent to the dungeon. Upon questioning him he attempted to bargain for his freedom." The Alpha bean to explain.

"That's not unusual," Zion replied they often do that.

"I agree however what this one said I found quite compelling as it concerned your mate." Zion's eyes grew large.

"What is it about Kaleigha?"

"The Rouges have found a King and he is guiding them. Apparently after researching he has found that your mate belonged to the Silver Crescent Moon pack. He thinks she is special. I'm not sure how true that is but he believes it is so. He wants to find her, according to him if you drink the blood of your mate and mark her. He will gain her powers with the help of dark magic. He is building an army and they are headed here."

"A filthy Rogue wish to take my mate and do her harm." He began to shake at the thought.

"Zion, calm down. Where is this Rogue now?" His father asked. Alpha Xander nodded toward one of his traveling companions.

"Bring in the prisoner." Seconds later a man in tattered clothing, and shackles stood before them. Zion began to bombard him with questions. "Where did you get this information?"

"I was recruited." The rogue responded.

"For what reason exactly." Surely, he was not part of this army he was supposed to fear.

"Decoy." The rogue smiled, causing his eyes to narrow. Before he knew It, Zion had grabbed him by the neck. He squealed and squirmed like a weasel.

"You better say something worth hearing or soon your blood will cover these walls!" Zion demanded.

"Heeeeee heeeeee" the Rogue laughed then he spat out "Kaleeeeeeeeeigha." Zion dropped him immediately.

"How do you know her name?"

Kaleigha's POV

Kaleigha slept like a baby and once she woke it was dark out. Her mate had made the experience things she’d never felt before. Her flower was swollen from his tender abuse. She ran herself a bath, and as soon as she was done, she heard a soft knock. It was Tabatha with her delicious food. She was starving. When she opened the door though she was surprised to find Emma smiling back at her.

"Hi, Ka...Ka...hi girl." She said waving at her awkwardly. Really b***h she couldn't help but think you don't even know my name.

"So, Zion thought you might be bored and want some company." She looked her up and down. She did tell him she was tired of being cooped up in this room, but Emma of all people.

"Can I come in?" Before she could say yes, she shoved her way in practically

"Oh, nice room. Their quest room is actually small. In my pack the quest quarters are huge."

"Oh, and what pack is that?" Kaleigha asked as she went to her closet to slide on some jeans and a t-shirt.

"The Bear Claw pack. I'm so ready to go home but Emon-" Emma looked at her as if she thought about what she was going to say.

"It's okay honey I'm used to not being liked."

"Oh, tell me, what was it like being bought up by humans?" Emma had lain across her bed and was looking at her all dreamy.

"I don't know. It was sad but not. I always felt like I didn't belong, and something was missing," said Kaleigha.

Emma looked at her sadly. "Did you have very many friends?"

"I played a lot of sports, so I had associates. My friends were always adopted or placed in foster care, so I learned not to get close to people. Vanessa was a good friend to have sometimes. When we were younger, she didn't care what everyone else thought."

"Kind of like my cousin. She used to be different."

"How so?" Kaleigha asked.

"Well, she was kind, funny, and smart. Now she is power-hungry. She always calls me names. Mostly because of Kevin." Emma looked genuinely sad.

"Oh, Zion's best friend?"

"Yes, I thought for sure he was my mate, but he is not. Once I turned seventeen, I thought he would be the one. He is so handsome." He was fine as hell Kaleigha had to admit. Although in truth all of them were rakishly handsome. Except for Fat f**k, but he was old and a little out of shape, so she guessed he gets a pass.

"I would love to live among humans, but my father would never allow it. Your hair is so awesome Kaleigha." Emma said, "I better go it's past supper time."

"I hate my hair! Oh, but you just got here." She found herself whining.

"Yes, but I lied. Alpha did not send me. I plan on leaving without my cousin and going back home. I wanted to say sorry because I know she has caused you terrible trouble. Especially among the pack. Also, you just need to own it. I would wear lots of white or silver to enhance it. Don't listen to Emoni she was just being hateful and jealous. " Kaleigha’s eyes narrowed what trouble she had barely left this room, prison.

"What troubles?"

"Oh, you don't know. Half of the town wants to cast you out, banished. They fear for their safety." Kaleigha’s eyes grew large. Cast out without her mate. The thought of life without Zion made her heartache.

"Zion will be here soon. I must go and don't worry. You have a good mate Zion would never let that happen." Kaleigha guessed she could read the questioning look in her eyes.

"He can sense your pain. Bye Kaleigha, be safe."

She opened the door and was gone and nearly a second later Zion was rushing into the room. "Are you okay my love?" He was literally checking her from head to toe.

"I'm fine." She whispered

"But I felt you."

"I'm sorry I was thinking of something that made me.... sad." He looked into her beautiful brown eyes and lifted her and carried her to the lounge chair and sat with her in his lap. "What is it, my love? You can tell me anything." He was so gentle. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'm afraid of losing you Zion and being alone again." He grabbed her chin and held it.

"You need not worry about things like that love. I will never leave you, Kitten. It took me too long to find you." She smiled and lay her head on his chest.

"I don't understand these feelings I have for you, but the thought of someone selecting me a man, I mean Mate.” She stumbled over her words Oh Goddess. He made her feel like that, self-conscious.

He was wickedly handsome, fine. Thick lips, broad rippling chest. She could feel the strength in his legs as she sat. She licked her lips imagining her tongue-

"Stop eye f*****g me Kaleigha. That's how the trouble always began." She blushed, looking away.

"Oh, baby I would love to f**k you senseless, but I think I might hurt you, and I can barely contain myself. Czar smells your scent and goes wild." His eyes went dark for a moment and then, they were that beautiful brown again with yellow flecks.

"I'm trying to be a gentleman. I think there are certain things a guy should know about a girl before mating."

"Such as?" Let's get this s**t out the way Kaleigha thought, licking her lips. "Wait, I have a question."

He gave her an amused look. One day he would tell her how he could read her thoughts.

"Yes," Zion said looking at her with those intense brown eyes.

“When do I get to meet your wolf," She asked, and he began to chuckle.

"You are not so innocent Kaleigha. I know exactly why you want to meet my wolf." She blushed even deeper again because he was right. She thought Czar may be easier to persuade into doing some of the dirty things that stayed on her mind when she thought of Zion.

"Behave Kitten and try to focus." He said with a smirk. She nodded her head, "Tell me everything. Do you remember your parents?"

"No. My therapist felt it was due to trauma. I only remember as far back as age five."

"Were you happy?"

"No, not much at first. I remember waking in different places. People can be really nice and really mean. I had one foster mom that liked to burn my hands. She would hold lighters up and make me endure the heat as long as I could. I was quickly removed from her care. " Zion growled and she put her hand to his chest. He instantly calmed down. Luna told her you could soothe your mate with just a simple touch. He gave her a sad look.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that," Zion said and she kissed his nose.

"Thank you. I did not suffer long because Mrs. Pinkney whom I called Mrs. Pinky forever because I could never say it right," She smiled at the happy memory, "She called me her pup. I think now for sure she was a She wolf."

He nodded in agreement saying "It's all speculation though. I keep wondering who took her life. Perhaps rogues. Tell me more."

"Mom came across me at the children's home I was staying in. We fell in love with each other. She adopted and raised me until I was fourteen. You know I miss her so much." Zion took his finger and brushed a strand of her hair from her face he then twirled it around his finger. "I'm sorry you have so many bad memories, Kaleigha."

"Kali, please call me Kali." He smiled at her and said, "I prefer Kitten, but on occasion,I suppose Kali is fine."

"Zion, what was your childhood like?" His eyes lit up. "It was great, to be honest. Being the Alpha's son has its perks."

"How so?"

"People are afraid to say no to you, so you always get what you want. If they say no, I just use my Alpha tone."

She thought this over. Luna had given her lots of reading material. Once her heat was over a ceremony would be held to make her an official member of the pack. She wanted to be, but she had a few questions.

"Funny you should mention this, but I was reading about the history of werewolves and of your pack."

"Our pack." He corrected her.

"Yes, our pack and it is kind of interesting when it comes to the role of the Alpha. You're a big deal huh?" Kaleigha asked. He had the cutest crooked smile.

"So, being that you're such a big deal, Mr. Man, why does River have to stay working in the kitchen?" His eyes widened. Yeah, he didn't see that one coming she thought.

"Kali!" He huffed "there are still certain rules that must be followed." She pulled herself away from him.

"But I am your mate! He saved my life and he's being punished for it." Crossing her arms, she cut her eyes at him. "Fine! But am I to understand once I am marked, I will become the new Luna." He was looking at her with both eyebrows raised. He nodded in agreement.

"Well good because then everyone has to listen to me too and River will not be in the kitchen." He nuzzled her neck on the place where she was to be marked. She growled when the Sparks went through her. She quickly jumped up. "I know what you're doing, and it isn't going to work." He wiggled his finger at her, beckoning her to come to him. She shook her head no. He was up in front of her. Looking down at her with those intense eyes.

"Kali when I tell you to do something you do it." He growled at her, and she growled back.

"I will not be bossed around like some child Zion!" They began to circle each other. "I am your Mate and your future Alpha you will never deny me of anything I ask of you Kaleigha Pinkney." His eyes flashed black for a moment. She boldly stared into his eyes with no fear. He started to growl. Suddenly he growled, picking her up. He carried me over to the bed, tossing her on it.

"Tell me no once and you will scream yes twice." He fell on top of her ripping her shirt into shreds he then tied both her hands to the bedpost with the tattered rags left behind.

"Now before I am done you will know who I am." She glared at him for once she didn't want him to touch her. How dare he think a little s*x, something she had never even had would give him leverage to boss her around.

"I know what you are Zion!" She said and suddenly his lips were crashing against her lips. His tongue harshly pushed open her lips and the fight for power began.

He grabbed her hips roughly, laying his body flat on hers. Her n*****s instantly hardened. And she pulled away but there was nowhere to go with her hands tied to the post. Not to mention he was grinding his body against hers and her juices were beginning to pour. She screamed as he ripped her bra away, tossing it onto the floor. Her breast now exposed; his eyes went dark with lust. Her eyes grew large.

"Zion!" She whispered but he grabbed her hair, pulling her head back so her neck was exposed, and he began to suck on her mating spot. Her legs began to shake as he grabbed both her breasts and began to suck, nipping at her hard buds. This mating bond was completely unfair. How was she to resist him with these stupid sparks going off inside her like freaking fireworks she thought? His fingers found her flower and he pushed her lips apart rubbing her sweet spot. "Mine." He growled and then she knew. "Czar."

"Yes." s**t was all she could think as She felt him push a finger inside her. One, two then three.

"Ouch!" She cried out, attempting to pull away, she whimpered.

He was aggressive and rough, and he rubbed against her and then she felt it. His manhood pressed against her opening. He was going to rip her apart.

“Zion!" She called out pushing at his chest. She saw his eyes changing colors and knew he was fighting his wolf.

“It's okay Czar." She said breathing heavily. He stared at her with his dark eyes.

"Come." She said and he came to her sniffing from her feet back up to her eyes he paused. They stared at each other "Mate." He spoke.

"Yes, my love."

"Mine." She nodded. He then began to sniff until he reached her flower again. "Czar maybe wooooh oooooh shit." She began to tremble as he began to suck on her flower. “Gentle.” He paused and then he slowed himself down but still she could tell the difference in technique compared to Zion. When she thought it couldn't possibly get any better his finger slid into her again but this time there was no sting, no burn. Just pure pleasure.

"More!" She screamed as he slid another finger inside of her. Oh, my Goddess is this what she had been missing? Her entire body began to spasm. She pumped her body hard slamming it against his fingers. "Rrrrrrr ahhhhhh!" she screamed out.

Suddenly Czar pulled back his hand. She jerked her head up to look at Zion's brown eyes. "Who is your Alpha?" He growled, putting his hand back between her legs and stroking her c**t, "Am I your Alpha Kali."

"Yes! Yes Zion!" She said breathlessly he could hear anything as long as he did not move his hand.

"And you will do as I say." He moved his hand and began licking his fingers.

"Yes, Zion." She said weakly. His eyes began to dilate, and she shivered.

"Did you enjoy meeting Czar?" He asked. She was sure her eyes answered the question.

As they were pleading for him to come back, drunk with lust.

"That sweet p***y wants to come, doesn't it, Kitten." She practically purred as his thumb began to rub her c**t in a circular motion. She felt those fingers stroking her insides and her whole body began to shake "Zion ooooooh my Goddess." She screamed as her body began to jerk. Zion shoved his fingers deeper as he sucked on her mating spot. One of her hands became untied and she grabbed a handful of Zions thick curls

She saw his eyes going from brown to black he was fighting his wolf for control. He was playing with her, and it was driving her crazy. She let her hand drop to his manhood and gripped it with no shame "Give me." She begged him and he growled, backing away from her, stood, and began to unbuckle his pants. She quickly untied her other hand. He stood tall and erect. her mouth began to water. Would touching him there make him feel the same as it did for her. She grabbed it with both hands and began to stroke. She heard a low growl from him. Her eyes almost popped out her head as it began to grow in her hands. Like magic. She was not sure why she did it. She simply could not resist taking her tongue and running it from the base to the tip. He grabbed her hair to take it away, but she growled at him.

"Mine!" She snapped as she took him into my mouth and began to suck. She felt possessed as she tried shoving him In her mouth as deep as he could go. Her eyes were watering, and he tried pulling her back again, but she hissed as his sweetness coated her tongue. Delicious he was and she knew he had more to give for this was just what did Vanessa call it precum.

She felt like his sweet juice was coating her soul. She had to have more so when he pulled himself away. She whimpered in sadness. Then he did something she did not expect. "I love your ass Kali. Give me mine and I will give you yours." He lay back on the bed and motioned her to sit on his face. She was unsure but she lowered herself eager to see what he had in store. She felt his tongue sliding inside her and it felt wonderful. She slid her body down his chest and took his p***s back into her mouth. Zion was doing things that made it hard to focus and at one point she stopped and began grinding his face. "Yes, baby f**k my face." He whispered and she did just that with no shame stroking him all the while. When she felt his d**k pulsating, she took it in her mouth just in time as his seed went sliding down her throat. They both lay there panting in total bliss. She was ready for round two moments later she was grinding his face again. He chuckled as he patted her behind. "Enough Kitten, it's dinner time and we have guests. We will be late." She quickly rolled over to look him in the eye.

"I get to leave the room?" She said, looking at him in anticipation.

"Do you think you can control your heat? Long enough to make it through a meal."

"Yes."

"Very well go shower and I will meet you back here in thirty minutes. Tabatha is bringing your clothes."

"Clothes?" Kaleigha asked.

"Yes love, we have guests." She didn't ask any questions. She simply made her way to the bathroom. Finally, she gets to leave this prison. And then Zion would be her dessert. Starving but still, she would rather have him as a meal any day.
