The Return of the Chosen

RIght My Wrongs -Bryson Tiller

Silver Crescent Moon

"The timing is perfect!" A woman laughed with glee, "I could not have planned this better myself. The Chosen and Zion Black are no longer mated. She is operating at half power. Now all we have to do is kill her and get rid of the kids, everyone is so unorganized since the fall, the timing is perfect."

"And how do you plan on killing the Chosen?" A man asked her,

"I'm not you are."

"Me!"

"The Chosen will be looking for a replacement. She should find that comfort in you." The woman wore a hood so her face could not be seen and the man's face was blocked because she was straddling him.

"Trust me, I have researched everything. If you kill her during the full moon, all her power comes to you."

"That makes no sense. I thought only the Blade-"

"That's only when she is mated, you fool. When she is not, she is vulnerable. Now are you with me or not?"

There was a moment of silence, "...of course my love."

"Fantastic, now all you have to do is get close to her using that irresistible charm."

Yes, my love,"

Chenoa's eyes opened and she stared at the ceiling, 'Cat, how well do you know those men you are with?'

'Noah, please, I am a big girl. I can handle myself." Catori said in a haughty tone,

'I know that but I had a vision.' Chenoa confessed.

'What was your vision?' Catori asked,

'A man and a woman were plotting against you.' Chenoa began,

'That is nothing new. Chenoa, what do you know about Vanessa?' Catori asked,

'Nothing Zion dealt with her more than I. Why do you ask?' Chenoa sat up,

'I need to find her. I will see you at the next council meeting.' Catori said, dismissing her.

'Fine' Chenoa huffed when Catori disconnected their link.

Catori lay in Amaralus' arms. She was taking nearly three to four pills a day to control the heat. Hoping it would pass, but her hunger was getting stronger. She also knew she was causing Amaralus discomfort because he could feel, sense, and smell her needs and he wanted her. It was only but so many hand jobs a girl could give. She had to make a choice. Her birthday was coming up and Amaralus told her he was planning a Bell of the Ball Birthday Bash for her. She was excited because he told her she could pick a theme and, of course, being the extra girly girl she was, she told him she wanted to feel like Cinderella and he said he would make it happen. "I will let you know that night, Amaralus." Then she went back to Listeria to endure her heat alone. The pills took the edge off so the pain was not as bad, but it did not control her scent and Amaralus was having trouble with the unmated members of the pack getting very aggressive due to her scent, so she left. She kept feeling like something was missing, she thought it was definitely time to time with her boys. She saw them around nap time every day, but it was not the same. Plus, she thought it was time she introduced them to Amaralus. Catori felt her need beginning to stir without thinking her hand wandered between her legs. She thought about how attractive Amaralus was as she started to touch herself. She pictured him standing before her, unzipping his pants. She pulled out his hard p***s. Pausing, she stared at it oddly, then she gasped as she looked up. 'Zion! What are you doing here?'

He laughed at her surprised expression, 'You know why I am here Kitten,' He smirked, looking at her hand on his c**k, 'You going to finish what you started?'

Catori released him, looking around, confused, 'I'm dreaming,'

'I miss your dreaming,' Zion said as he grabbed her wrist, he placed it back on his c**k and began stroking. 'Zion, I can't do this, I'm with someone.' Catori said, sounding a bit exasperated still, that she found herself in this position.

'Then why is he not here Kitten,' he said, leaning forward as he licked her mating spot. She went to move away from him but he grabbed her by the waist and the sparks from his touch went through her like fire. She growled, trying to fight the desire threatening to explode. 'So you don't want to feel me in you,' he whispered, as he began to suck all over her neck.

A tear ran down her cheek. She did not want this, so as he said, why was he here, she thought? Zion captured her lips, his need for her she felt as his tongue danced with hers.

'I suppose old habits die hard' she said, and with all her might, she pushed him out of her dream. Catori woke with a start. Looking around her, she half expected Zion to be standing there saying nice try Catori.

He was not, instead, she was all alone. The water seemed colder than before, she had to do something more about her heat. Pulling Zion into her dreams like that was dangerous. He had no control and the last thing she needed was to be marked again. It would have been really hard to explain to Amaralus how she was, then she wasn't, and then. She was again wearing Zion Blacks mark. She thought. It was best she stayed as far away from him as possible, which also meant she was never going to sleep again!

Tabatha was ordered by Chenoa to go home and, in her words, keep her ass out of trouble. Tabatha tried refusing but Chenoa was not having it. "Come on Chenoa, I don't want to be around him." Tabatha groaned,

"Then don't, but if I have to see Breanna one more time and listen to her go on and on about how you should not be in here, I will go insane!" Chenoa glared at her and then shook her head, giving Tabatha a puzzled look. "How can you not want to be around that hunk of a man?" Chenoa asked,

"He was in her house. Why was he there?" Tabatha asked and then he had the nerve to be mad at me."

"Oh, please don't with the waterworks. I just can't." Chenoa groaned now. She hated all the mushy stuff, "where the hell is Chastity?"

"Somewhere being a horrible friend. I have seen her once since Catori returned, she does not have time for me anymore." Tabatha burst into tears.

"Oooh crap," Chenoa said, patting her on the back way too hard,

"Stop beating me! I'm not choking Chenoa, I'm hurting." Tabatha cried, looking up at her.

"I'm sorry I don't know what to do," Chenoa admitted. Tabatha sniffed, looking at her. She took her arm and placed it around her shoulder, then snuggled next to her. "Just hold me please, I need a hug."

Chenoa sat stiffly as she got more comfortable, "Look Tabatha, you have to go home and just talk to him."

Tabatha shook her head no, "I need a distraction. You have a birthday coming up. What are your plans?"

"I never make plans. Can't be disappointed if your plans are a bust, ya know?" Chenoa said,

"Have you ever had a party?" Tabatha looked up at her,

"Well, with Cat before she was … you know she seems better though a little right?" Chenoa said, but Tabatha just stared at her,

"You never had a party."Tabatha gave her a sympathetic look,

"Yeah, but it's no big deal. Never really been into celebrations." Chenoa said to her.

"So that's not okay, everyone should have one darn day and are you kidding that chick is not okay? She and Zion are no longer a thing, and Cat loved her some Zion. If I know her, she is crushed and this crap is all a show. She needs us but she is too hurt to let us in. There is nothing worse than suffering alone."

"Sheesh okay, look when was the last time you showered and brushed your teeth? You are killing me, and secondly, I know my sister is doing better," Chenoa said, trying to convince herself.

Tabatha was not about to argue with her, she simply stood up.

"Okay, I'll go home, but if Richard speaks to me I'll knee him in the balls."

"That's between you and Richard," Chenoa said. She walked with Tabatha back to her house and was surprised when they knocked and Dorkis came to the door. Chenoa and Tabatha both stood staring at Dorkis awkwardly.

"Oh your home, Rose honey Tabatha's home!" Dorkis called out.

"Honey," Chenoa mumbled,

"The f**k," Tabatha and Chenoa gave each other confused looks.

"Dad, why are you here?" Chenoa asked as Rose came to the door all dolled up. Towing her purse behind her, she kissed Tabatha's cheek and patted Chenoa on hers.

"Don't wait up on us darling," Rose giggled as she wrapped her arm in Dorkis and they both went strutting off arm and arm.

"Are they… no no no," Tabatha said,

"Absolutely not," Chenoa said, gasping as they watched Dorkis pat Roses's bottom,

"Oh, my Goddess they are!" Tabatha said,

"Oh, that's just nasty!" Chenoa threw her hands up, "I'm going home to poke my eyes out."

"Wow, my dad's body isn't even cold yet!" Tabatha stomped into the house, slamming the door.

"Mommy!" Spring and Summer came running to her. BJ waved but continued playing his video game and Brock must have been with Richard or Kevin because he was not home.

"Hey sweet peas, I missed you." Tabatha said, hugging her girls, "You guys hungry?"

Spring spoke first, "Yes, starving."

Tabatha went right into the kitchen. She cooked spaghetti with salad and breadsticks. She fed the girls and Brock prepared a dish for Brock, then thoroughly cleaned the house. Afterward, she put the food away and took a hot bath. She washed her hair and slid into one of her nightgowns. After putting the kids to bed, Richard came in with Brock behind him. "Mom!" Brock ran to her, kissing her,

"Hey Buddy, are you hungry? Your plates on the kitchen table, wash your hands first." Brock went into the kitchen and she smiled as he yelled, "Yay spaghetti!"

She knew Richard was staring at her but she refused to acknowledge him. "Tabatha" he finally said, but she still did not look his way. "Fine, the silent treatment can live with it if you can." Tabatha turned the television up and stared straight ahead. Richard made his way to the kitchen. A few minutes later, he came back and said "You didn't fix me a plate?"

Tabatha ignored him, turning the television up louder.

She heard him in the kitchen and seconds later there was a loud boom. She walked into the kitchen and Richard was standing by the microwave looking like an i***t.

"I told you you couldn't put foil in the microwave," Brock said,

"How did you know that?" Richard asked,

"Mom told me," Brock said. Tabatha placed the cleaning supplies on the counter and went back to the living room.

"I'm not even hungry anymore," Richard declared,

"Sure you're not," Tabatha mumbled under her breath as she went back to the television. Richard heard her but he was not in the mood to argue. Not to mention, he had not seen her in three weeks and she was looking delicious in that sexy nightgown, he thought, so he went to shower. When he came out, she was no longer in the living room, but when entering the bedroom she was not there either. Richard walked through the house peeking into rooms in search of his mate. When he opened the girl's bedroom door and saw Tabatha curled between the two, he suddenly got angry, "Tabatha!"

Tabatha's eyes opened, "Shss you're going to wake the girls,"

"Get up, we need to talk!" Richard practically barked at her,

"No, I'm tired and there is nothing I have to say to you at the moment."

"Get up or I will drag you out of bed." Richard glared at her.

"Go to bed Richard," Tabatha said, closing her eyes. She lied back ignoring him until she heard their bedroom door slam.

The man was even more pissed when he had no coffee that morning. He went to the girl's room, "You didn't make me a coffee!" He announced, then he paused, noticing her attire, "Where are you going?"

"Oh, Breanna will be watching the kids today. I'm going to the city to do some shopping." Tabatha said,

Richard looked her up and down, "By yourself?"

"That's the plan," Tabatha said,

"Wearing that?" Richard asked,

Tabatha said nothing as she smacked her lips together.

"Are you wearing a bra?" Richard asked,

"What? Why on earth would you ask me that?" Tabatha asked him,

"Because every time you move your boobs are bouncing everywhere." Richard looked her up and down,

"Are you serious," Tabatha brushed past him, giving him a full view of her backside,

"Ah hell no," Richard said, his eyes clouding over, "What, what's the problem?" Tabatha asked.

"I called in for the day. Where are we going first?" Richard asked.

"We are not going anywhere, Richard. You have not wanted my time in quite a while and you have been going over to that slut Uniques house, so you want coffee! Do you want your lunch? You let that b***h continue to do-" Tabatha screamed as Richard tossed her over his shoulder and carried her to their room. "First off, " he said unbuckling his belt and letting his pants fall to the floor, "Unique pies are the only damn things about her I find interesting. Secondly, had you asked me I would have told you that before you wanted to go blow a gasket and beat the hell out of a 16-year-old girl!"

"You would not have heard me. I have been trying to talk to you and now all of a sudden you want to have a conversation." She scooted off the bed and he reached for her when she brought her knee up to his groin, "And then you left me behind bars you f*****g asshole. And when Kevin bails me out, yeah Kevin! You're talking to the b***h again, go to hell, Richard. Oh and believe me you are not the only one with admirers." She kicked him and left the house, slamming the door behind her.

'Alpha,'

'Yes,'

'I kneed your delta in the nuts, can I leave the pack grounds?' Tabatha asked, Chenoa paused, taking her words in,

'On foot?' Chenoa asked,

'Yes,'

'No, it's too dangerous.' Chenoa said,

'I wanna go into the city,' Tabatha said, Chenoa didn't even bother asking why,

'Fine, one of the warriors will meet you at the gates.' Chenoa sighed,

'Great!' Tabatha said cheerfully. Before Richard made it to a sitting position, Tabatha had already left pack grounds.

Tabatha used one of the guy's cell phone to call Mystic Moon, "Zara, can you meet me somewhere?"

"Where is somewhere?" Zara asked,

"Well, I decided to have Chenoa a birthday party,"

"When did we become team Chenoa?" Zara asked,

"Well, she has never had a party. It's sad and I need a distraction." Tabatha said, "Richard is driving me nuts."

"Yeah, sure we have a lot to discuss. I'm bringing River too." Zara said,

"Oh yay!" Tabatha said with excitement. An hour later, Tabatha sat at a small ice cream parlor surrounded by bags. She was so excited to see River and Zara walk in, "and who is this?" Tabatha asked,

"Oh, Zara didn't tell you?" River replied, "Tell me what?" Tabatha looked at the girl in Rivers arms," You look familiar, we've met before."

Shannara instantly remembered Tabatha, "Yes, I'm Shannara. I met you years ago."

"I remember you, honey. How is your sister?" Tabatha asked.

"Sister-in-law, she is great, well as good as can be expected under the circumstances," Shannara said,

"Oookay and you and River are dating?" Tabatha asked. Shannara bit her lip and said, "Actually we are mates."

Tabatha's mouth dropped open, "Oh my Goddess, River!" She squealed, giving him a huge hug.

"I knew you would be excited, " River chuckled, hugging her back.

"River is not the only one with good news," Zara said,

"What is it," Tabatha said with excitement,

"Well," Zara said, taking a seat, "Zion has implemented a lot of new things at Mystic since you left and one is Mystic, the very first Elite team."

"Elite ooh that sounds like an honorable position," Tabatha pointed out,

"According to Zion, it's going to be quite prestigious. Only his most exceptional will be members, hand-picked by Zion himself. There will be 12 members in total and this week he picked the first six." River chimed in as Zara sat beaming.

"And you made the cut, Zara!" Tabatha beamed,

"Uh no," Zara said.

"No!" Tabatha looked confused,

"I made an officer. I'll be running the team," Zara said proudly,

Tabatha sucked a breath by grabbing her chest, tears swelled in her eyes, "Zara," she got up and hugged her friend, "I'm so proud of you. I know you worked so hard for this. Guys, we need something stronger. We need to really celebrate." Tabatha smiled at them, "I miss you guys so much,"

"We need cell phones," Tabatha said, "since I can't mind link you anymore."

"That's a great idea!" Zara said excitedly.

They all had ice cream and then made their way to the T-Mobile store where River bought them all their cell phones. "Should I get Chastity one?" River asked, not noticing the side eye of Shannara,

"It will be the only way you talk to her. We are in the same pack and I haven't seen her in weeks. Even when I was jail for three weeks," Tabatha said sadly,

"Wait what?" Zara said, nearly choking on her drink as River looked at her in confusion.

"Yeah, guys ya know it's been rough after Dad died. Richard has been so angry with me and short as hell. And I know I can be sensitive, but Chastity has been totally MIA and she has her own s**t, but how can we belong to the same pack and she not come see me even once?" Tabatha looked into her drink, "everyone has lost people. I know Chandler lost his brother and we go through it with our mates but man," she gulped the drink she had and waved at the bartender,

"3 weeks," River said as the bartender poured them all another shot.

"I beat up a teenager. I thought she was her mom and I almost got us kicked out of another pack," Tabatha painfully admitted.

"Another pack?" Shannara looked at her wanting details,

"I was banished from Mystic Moon," Tabatha admitted, Shannara's eyes bulged,

"Bartender!" She squeaked, 'Are we going to get in trouble for being here?' She said to River.

'Relax your mind,' River replied,

"Mmm, for what?" Shannara asked as she banged her hand on the table as the warm liquid slid down her chest.

"Have you ever drunk before," Zara asked, as Shannara heavily breathed in and out.

"Burns, right?" Shannara said as the warmth from the liquid went through her, making her feel hot.

"Well I don't think there is any EXCUSE," River shifted as he looked at the girls, "for her!....to ignore you."

"Right!" Zara said, looking at River oddly. Shannara giggled because she had unzipped his zipper and now held his p***s in her hand stroking it under the table.

"Nothing new to me. I always get pushed on the back burner when it comes to Chenoa and Catori." Tabatha said,

"Well screw her Tabby, I will be your person. I mean I like her, don't get me wrong, but she is their person, so you can be mine forever, fist bump." Zara held out her fist,

"Fist bump," Tabatha said,

"River fist bump," Zara said,

"Ooooh yes feeeeesst fist, fist pump!" River shouted. Shannara reached across the table with her free hand, "I'm in too!" She said, hitting their fist.

"Come on Tabby, let's dance!" Zara said,

"Are you okay River? You looked strained," Tabatha said, studying him,

"He's fine," Shannara piped in, as Zara pulled at Tabatha's arm.

"Okay, I'm coming," Tabatha said as she slid out of the booth following Zara,

"Uh uh, I'm coming too," River choked out, spilling his seed all over Shannara's hand.

"Shannara you little devil," River said, trying to regain his composure.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist. Going to go wash my hands," Shannara said, scooting out of the booth. River zipped his pants as he watched Zara giving goo-goo eyes to some human. He watched the guy and his friend walk over to the two of them and start dancing. River got up and made his way to the bathroom. Shannara opened the door and River pushed his way in. "River, this is the girl's room, what are you doing?" Shannara said as he locked the door, "Finishing what you started". He picked her up and placed her on the sink. Pulling her panties down, he placed them in his mouth as he entered slowly and started working his hips.

Shannara loved how alcohol seemed to enhance her s****l appetite even more. She was screaming with pleasure as River stroked her until they both found relief.

"I wanna have that kind of fun," the guy dancing with Zara said and they all laughed as they listened to Shannara's cries of pleasure. The guys asked Tabatha and Zara for their numbers and Zara gave hers, but Tabatha just smiled at him so the guy snatched her phone and put his number in her phone. Tabatha just laughed it off and went back to the table. They ordered wings because Shannara said she was starving, "I bet you are after that workout," Tabatha teased,

"Yes girlie got some lungs on you," Zara snuggled as Shannara's cheeks burned red,

"You heard that?" Shannara whispered,

"Everyone heard that!" Tabatha laughed as a waitress came by placing a glass of water in front of Shannara,

"On the house, Sis. You have got to be thirsty after all that screaming," she pulled the pencil from behind her ear, "may I take your order?"

Shannara looked as if she thought she'd die of embarrassment, thinking nothing could be more embarrassing. Of course, that was before River slid his hand between her legs under the table, "I'll take the hot wings and fries," River said,

"And you ma'am?" The waitress said to Shannara, "Um the same," she squeaked as River worked his fingers. Shannara grabbed the menu that was just big enough to cover her face, she mouthed, stop it, River. As the girls asked, "Ma'am, did you want something else?"

"Still looking, mmmm everything feels, looks so good." Shannara said, "Oooooh," Shannara moaned,

"Found something you like?" The waitress asked,

"Yes, YES!" Shannara shouted,

"Let me guess the pie, dear," River mischievously grinned, as Shannara shook her head up and down,

"Yes yes yes," She said as her muscles clenched around his fingers.

"Sure I'll be right back," the waitress said cluelessly, but Tabatha and Zara gave each other a look as they cut their eyes at River.

'You disgust me,' Zara said,

'New mates, really did you not get enough in the bathroom,' Tabatha chimed in.

As the table shook from Shannara's shaking legs. 'She started it, I'm just finishing what she started,' he said, pulling his hand from under the table as he sucked his fingers. Zara was suddenly very jealous as she watched him shamelessly suck the juices off each finger. Tabatha rolled her eyes at him but suddenly she was hoping she and Richard could squash this beef really soon because she and her wolf were suddenly horny as hell.

When Tabatha returned to the pack the guys helped her bring in all her bags. Richard came strolling into the house a few minutes early and the first thing he noticed was the cell phone. "Why do you need a cell phone?"

Tabatha ignored him as she went to prepare dinner. Richard pulled a chair up, watching her move around the kitchen, ". where the hell is Rose?" Richard asked. Tabatha paused, mind linking Rose, 'Rose are you okay?'

'Oh, I'm great honey! Dorkis and I are at Niagara Falls. It's really beautiful here. I wish you could have been here.'

Tabatha frowned, 'Rose, what are you doing. Dad just died?'

'I'm trying to find some happiness, Tabatha, and you should be supportive. I've always supported you in your pursuit of happiness.'

'I'm sorry your right. It just seems fast and I'm worried about you.' Tabatha said, 'Will you be back, ever?'

Tabatha held her breath waiting for an answer, 'Of course I will honey, don't be silly. You and those kids are all I have left.'

'Okay, well be safe. I love you, Rose.' Tabatha said,

"Well. she is fine but I don't know when she will return." She looked at her watch, "Better go get the kids," she went to walk past Richard but he grabbed her around the waist. "They are fine I took them to the Omegas so we would have time to talk."

"I don't want to talk to Richard. Don't you get that? I spent weeks wanting to talk and you avoided me or flat out didn't listen." Tabatha said, pulling away from him,

"What are you talking about?" Richard said, annoyed now,

"I'm talking about how Summer spends more time with Dora than her own f*****g Sister, and when I tried telling you this you brushed me off now and now Summer is closer to Angel than her own damn twin. Which is great because she isn't depressed anymore but sad because her f*****g father didn't even notice. I'm talking about how you waltzed out of here with Brock and haven't noticed BJ is drowning in pain because his dad is a f*****g pet and he feels like he doesn't have a dad when he has a father in the house. Or that Rose didn't have the energy to get out of bed for weeks! And I had to practically wipe her ass and was so busy with her and the kids and the house that I couldn't mourn losing my dad, and let's not talk about how you look at me like you wish you never mated with me and would rather get up at the crack of dawn to avoid conversations! Then I hear you are entertaining the pack whores!" Tabatha shouted at him.

"I was not entertaining them. Let me guess Kevin told you that because he is so concerned about our relationship," Richard sarcastically yelled back,

"No, he told Breanna his mate in confidence that he was worried you would get caught up and she told me. Kevin asked her if he should talk to her, so don't make him the bad guy because, for once, he was actually looking out for me! Which by the way," Tabatha reached out and slapped him, "that is for leaving me behind bars you f*****g asshole!" She shoved him out her way.

"Tabatha, I'm sorry I could have handled a lot of things better. I will do better," Richard said,

"Don't tell me, show me and you can start by cutting your little bitches off, AND STOP EATING HER f*****g PIE YOU JERK!" She pushed him again and went storming out of the house, letting the door slam behind her. Richard sighed as he looked at the door. Yes, he knew he had been distant. He didn't mean to shut her out. This was how his father handled things, so he guessed it was learned behavior. He loved Tabatha and he had no interest at all in those women. He was honestly only interested in the food. Not that Tabatha was not a great cook, he was, as she said, though avoiding her. He didn't want her to know his insecurities about joining the pack and her and Kevin hooking up. She loved Blaine but she still gave in to Kevin and so how did he know it wouldn't happen again? Richard did not know how to react to the message. He placed it back down where he picked it up and went to have a seat back in the kitchen. Reading the message did nothing for his insecurities. Had she met a guy while she was out, and Zara was in on this? His chest hurt and his eyes burned as he set back contemplating his situation, then the question struck him, one that had never occurred to him. He always thought it was the mate bond that had landed her between Blaine and Kevin. Now he had to ask, was Tabatha a habitual cheater?
