The Alpha and His Hunted Kitsune Princess

Water Realm Pt. 1

Preston managed to get Piper inside. Nathan McDermont linked, “Are you ok?” I replied, “My aunt and sister in law are being held against their will.” Nathan replied, “Well, I’ve heard they aren’t as bad as the Merrick’s.” I admitted, “I know or Piper would’ve missed her scrimmage to be locked down on my family’s pack lands with Remi while I got them back.” Nathan smirked at me.

Piper’s brothers were clearly a little jealous of Mike, which was absurd. Bernard agreed, “It is absurd and I’m telling all their Kitsunes that. Piper having another protector is a good thing.” I sighed, “They are jealous because they feel like Mike and Piper have a relationship they don’t.”

Bernard grumbled, “That’s Alpine’s fault.” I snorted, “You will get literally no rebuttal from me.” Karl had flowers ready for Remi. Bernard growled, “Next time you need to get mate something.” I assured him, “I will.” I should’ve thought about it, I had just been mad about the situation.

I could conjure some but that would probably lead to questions from Piper no one was ready for. Bernard asked, “Who cares?!” Me. I didn’t want to set Piper back in her recovery. I raised an eyebrow when Piper pulled Valentina and Anastasia to the bathroom.

Julian asked, “What’s that face?” I said, “She obviously used the locker room before she came back to join our group. There is no way she needs to the use the restroom.” William replied, “She wants to talk then.”

I pointed out, “Remi didn’t go and Piper knows her best.” Julian reasoned, “Piper still knows instinctively that she can trust my mate and William’s.” I snorted, “I think you should worry she’s getting them to do something. I won’t deny it makes me happy they are already planning things though.”

I waited in the hallway and knew by the look on Anastasia’s face something was going down. Did I care? Not really. They were bonding so I was going to let that go. Bernard agreed, “Good call.” Yeah, well there was no counterpart for him to talk to. Bernard reasoned, “I can get feelings from Valentina’s Demon.” Interesting.

Bernard snorted, “You should know that since I get the same from Maximus and he’s our cousin.” I replied, “Look, I’m a little out of sorts today. Ok?” Bernard assured me, “Freya and Tatum will be fine. They are together and Freya is a goddess.” It didn’t stop me from worrying.

Every single Supernatural in the damn building was on edge, which Piper obviously noticed. I apologized when we left, but she didn’t care. Bernard said, “I dislike whatever gave her a brain injury.” I snorted, “The Ninko.” Bernard disagreed, “No, he made her jump something in the ocean which then gave her the injury.” That was true.

I linked Julian, “My mate is bringing up an interesting point for me. Is Melanie planning to talk the Wedell’s into giving them back? She can just talk incessantly.” Julian said, “Hold please.” Eventually he replied laughing, “No, that’s not the plan or they’d be back.”

I questioned, “That’s an actual honest to god plan our sister in law has?! What am I saying/? Of course it is.” Julian laughed, “Yeah, it is. Apparently Melanie isn’t doing much talking and she’s linking Sierra a lot of thoughts.”

I repeated, “Melanie isn’t talking?” Julian replied, “Yup.” I pushed, “McAlister?” Julian snorted, “Yes.” I groaned, “No, that means it’s the end of the world. The Sirens have no idea the hell that is about to be unleashed. One, because they don’t know our older brother’s reputation.”

Julian laughed, “Clearly.” I continued, “Two, because if Melanie is quiet things are bad. Oh god. Is she going to become a Siren Queen? Can she do that?” Julian said, “Getting with Uncle Aiden and a McAlister on that possibility.” Good.

Piper needed massage oil so I snapped it to her cabinet. Bernard snorted, “You worried about flowers but just handed her massage oil when she knew there was none.” I replied, “It could’ve been there. She hasn’t explored the whole apartment.” Bernard laughed.

I enjoyed every second of my mate’s hands on me. I didn’t know how Piper was so good at being a masseuse but she was. The smell of her arousal was everywhere, driving me crazy. Bernard growled, “Claim mate.”

Bernard lost it when she mentioned the big bad wolf. I managed to take back over quickly and lose myself in my mate. Piper looked sad and I immediately had to fix it. My heart broke hearing she was trying to talk to Sora without knowing.

Bernard let out a sad howl. I spoke in Fealish but the words translated to: It is not crazy, love. You are missing a big part of you but you feel it in your soul. You are so smart but Sora will wake up.

Bernard chuckled, “Mate likes you speaking Fealish. Say more.” When she asked if I spoke other languages I spoke in the Hackura language: Another is Latin, Love. Bernard demanded, “Speak in all languages we know right now.” I snorted, “Or we could just enjoy the moment and have s*x.

Bernard huffed, “Making mate gush is enjoying the moment.” I replied, “So is hearing her scream our name.” I warned Piper I’d be amorous when I got back from saving Melanie and Aunt Odette. Then we lost ourselves to lust.

Dad linked, “We are moving soon. Melanie did a thing.” I asked, “When in the history of the amount of time we’ve known that woman did you not get the impression that’s when we’d be moving. I heard there’s a plan where she talks to herself back home. Since that did not happen, I’m moderately concerned she’s going to become a Siren Queen. Uncle Aiden is going to tell us if that’s possible.”

Dad replied, “Your brother would blow the clan to smithereens." I snorted, “Not if Melanie ruled it.” Dad groaned, “No, she can’t think she has time for that.” I replied, “I know that you know that I know Melanie talks a lot about all her free time now.” Dad sighed.

I gently woke Piper up then went down on her. I obviously had to taste my mate before battle. I kissed her and left. I popped to Pen who was with Paulson. I decked the latter and grabbed Pen then popped back.

Pen said, “I was…” I cut him off, “I don’t care what you were doing. You are now spending time with your sister. You don’t need to be jealous of Mike and their relationship. You need to form your own.”

Remi said, “Hear, hear.” Karl asked, “Can you pop me to this battle? Our pack is there too.” I answered, “Yes.” I turned back to Pen, “Keep my mate safe and have fun.” Pen assured me, “I will.” Remi said, “I’ll go talk to Piper and bring her down here. Help yourself to food.”

Pen asked, “Umm, how do I get home?” I linked Cousin Bexley, “I am giving your number to Piper’s brother to have you pop him home once he’s done spending time with my mate.” Bexley replied, “I love that you know I need a task. Thank you , Preston.” Bexley could fight but she didn’t like to. I told Pen, “Give me your phone.” I put Bexley’s number in and said, “Wait around the corner and have Bex pop to you.” Pen nodded, “Thaks.” I replied, “I’m not doing it for you, but you’re welcome.”

I grabbed Karl and popped to the Sargasso clan. I asked, “What’s going on?” Julian said, “So, Uncle Aiden said Melanie can in fact become the Queen of a clan if she kills all members of the ruling family.”

Trit asked, “Why would she want to do that?” I replied, “Because she’s Melanie and one can never discount what she thinks would be a fun new thing to do.” Valentina said, “Or she just wants all the bad people dead and the way the Sirens go about it will be too slow for her. I think you’re more likely scenario if Melanie plans to take out a whole clan’s leadership will be to have Odette be their Queen. Melanie wouldn’t want that title for more than a few minutes.”

Sierra huffed, “She’d probably want to know if they’d throw her a parade.” I asked, “What?” Sierra explained, “Melanie has long since wanted to go to a parade thrown by your mom and has a running list of reasons people should throw her a parade.” I threw my head back and laughed.

Trit said, “Odette is going to call to us and we will go through the portal. Caspian will go first.” I replied, “I’ll stop you there, no he won’t.” Trit frowned, “Your family will…” I cut him off, “We are not your problem. We are trained soldiers. Keaton is an assassin and you are not Joe Scott or Emmett Daniels giving him an order. Neither of which will tell him not to go through a portal before you.”

Trit said, “Well, we wait until it’s big enough.” I reiterated, “Keaton will literally wait until it’s big enough he can jump, walk, dive, or crawl through and be gone.” Trit chuckled, “Good to know.” William said, “So, we really can’t discount Melanie being a Siren Queen?”

Trit said, “She might already be one given the clan she’s in.” Oh good lord. Alexander’s watch beeped and a hologram of Melanie appeared. “Don’t be mad…ok…you’re mad. That’s well….a forgone conclusion. I’m going to be fine.”

I nudged William, “Oh well that makes it better.” Jason commented, “Mel will think that it does.” Naturally.” Melanie continued, “Odette has this. I found a piece of the prophecy the Sargasso’s don’t have…..and we don't have time for this crap.”

I asked, “What piece?” Uncle Aiden said, “We’d have no way of knowing.” I looked at Uncle Gunner who looked down and to the left. So, he knew what it was. Melanie continued, “I’m not waiting for centuries of planning….. for them to take someone related to the Sargasso’s….so…. I’m changing their prophecy because I could guess who it would be.”

“I’m technically related to them through marriage…..and the prophecy wasn’t really that specific…. so I should count. You need to get ready because…..you didn’t really think I’d leave you out of the fight……did you?” She winked at my brother.

Alexander didn’t even remotely feel amused. Julian snorted, “I wonder if Melanie is aware she’s working for a very tough crowd for that comment.” I snorted, “I guarantee you there is a chart that says Alexander will be like three percent less angry if he gets to kill people.”

Uncle Gunner commented, “It’s two point three percent less angry.” So, he had cracked some files. Good for Uncle Gunner. I winked at him. Alexander growled, “You are in trouble.” I whispered, “Do we point out he’s talking to a recording and not his mate.” William said, “Not it.”

Sierra said, “That’s a recording. She can’t hear you.” I chuckled, “Well, we didn’t have to say it.” Maximus snorted, “Will you three focus?” I replied, “I’m so focused.” My cousin Brentley said, “I’ll be on their six.”

I snorted, “Ok. We will be fine.” Brently said, “I know because I will be right behind you.” Alexander told Sierra, “Melanie knows she’s in trouble whether I say it now or not.” Melanie added, “We are taking down this clan…. and the Merricks.”

I asked, “Does that mean she’s already Queen?” Hendrick said, “Probably, yes. I wonder if Odette knows that.” I answered, “I’m guessing no since she’s not with her.” Melanie continued, “Get ready because Odette’s bringing you here. I believe in her…..and what she can do. I’ll be ok…… I promise. Plus……I’m making sure you get to explode some heads so that counts for something…right? It totally does. I’m pretty sure. Ok..yeah…well… Love you..bye.” Then her hologram disappeared.

Bentley said, “Well, I believe she’ll be fine now.” I turned. My cousin shrugged, “She promised our cousin who she loves with her entire being and then some.” I pointed out, “Melanie is not a Fairy.”

Bentley agreed, “No, but she’d never break a promise to Alexander. Look at everything she’s done for him.” The Resistance in and of itself would say that.” A Siren asked, “What did she do?” I replied, “None of your business.”

A beautiful song began. Keaton whispered, “Odette.” Then asked, “What’s that song?” Caspian admitted, “I don’t know it, but it’s calling to us. She wants our help.” Caspian whispered, “Come on, little sister. You can do it.”

I ordered my pack, “Get ready. My Aunt is calling to us and we will prove that we will always answer the call.” Julian said, “We should wait, I bet they try to run through that portal.” EJ agreed, “I think that’s a good call. Once you get a few come through.” I nodded.

Keaton dove through the portal the second it was big enough. I nudged Bentley, “I called that.” Several Sirens shot me looks but I just shrugged. A pop sounded and I turned around. I sighed, “Blossom, you can’t….”

I trailed off when she popped over to a little boy who looked like Caspian and growled, “MINE!” I asked, “Who is he?” Someone answered, “King Caspian’s youngest son, Kano.” Dylan screamed, “OH MY GOD! CUTENESS OVERLOAD! LOOK AT THESE PRECIOUS PUPS!” I turned and popped to him, killing a Siren that had come through.

Dylan cooed, “I saw him, you spitting imagine of LKSGAP you.” I huffed, “Will you kill people then comment things?” Dylan gasped, “That’s a LKSGAP line. You can’t say it. Are you trying to level up? I hear lovely things about your mate.”

I snorted, “Be sure to drive her family on her dad’s side insane.” Dylan gasped, “PERMISSION!” Brentley said, “Ok, through that portal.” Julian and William’s swords were covered in blood. Blossom was inside with Idel and Kano.

I popped through and looked around. I asked, “What’s the other portal Aunt Odette opening to?” William groaned, “Don’t say it’s the Merrick’s.” I said, “Melanie made the plan, it’s absolutely to the Merrick’s.”

I turned and put my blade to the neck of a man who screamed, “Just keep that crazy kick away from me!” I asked, “What chick?” He said, “She’s got black hair, pale green eyes, and a serious murder problem.”

Julian snorted, “What?” Brentley said, “I think he’s saying Melanie did most of this.” We looked around. I said, “I’m sorry, you’re saying Melanie killed all these people, not the army?” The guy asked, “Is that her name?” I nodded.

He whispered, “She’s insane and talking about her rage box! She killed the whole Royal family.” I snorted, “Should you be saying such things about your Queen then?” The guy replied, “She’s queen of the dead because she’s killed the whole clan.”

I reasoned, “Probably not the women since what I know of you all they don’t fight.” He shrugged, “A fair amount of ours do.” I replied, “Well, then they are dead.” I linked my brother, “I think you’re a Siren King, Alexander. Your mate is the Queen of this clan now.”

Alexander growled, “I will kill each and every single f*****g one of them! Some fuckhead named Cosmo SOLICITED MY WIFE!” I snorted, “Well, do you know Cosmo?” The guy answered, “Yeah, he’s a Merrick and an utter jerk.”

Brentley asked, “Why?” Julian said, “Alexander is ready to kill him.” Brentley said, “Well, he’ll get that wish.” He pointed as Melanie went through the portal we were pretty sure was the Merrick’s with a whole group of women that would handle that.

Brentley said, “So, Melanie did all of this?” The Siren at our feet answered, “Yeah, she did. She’s crazy.” I put my blade back to his throat, “Watch yourself. She’s one of us and you clearly deserved to die or she wouldn’t have killed this many people.”

The guy reasoned, “She’s the one who blew up the Merrick’s stuff!” I snorted, “Yeah, aligning with them is bad.” The guy shrugged, “Well his baby maker was off trying to live her life.” I growled, “What?”

I linked Julian and William, “Go left and right, I’ll come from the middle.” The guy sighed, “Well, it’s not like I care about the girl.” I replied, “That girl is our Aunt.” He cried, “No!” We each advanced and took the top of his head off.

Brentley said, “Lovely, let’s go through that portal.” I said, “Melanie has a lot of rage and I think we need to be concerned about it.” Brentley said, “Your mom would’ve seen this. Melanie is in therapy and let her rage out on people who deserved it. It could be a whole lot worse.”

Julian said, “This is not good, Brentley.” Brentley reasoned, “I didn’t say it was. I said we can manage it and then know if anyone hurts our family they will be slaughtered. Find a way to get on her team about that. I know I’ll be trying.” It was a good strategy but that didn’t really surprise me.

I spotted Keaton and Alexander fighting then Keaton shifted back. I snorted, “Delmar is getting hit.” Then Keaton took a shot. Julian said, “Yeah, that was definitely Delmar.” Brentley asked, “Who did Alexander punch?” I answered, “Rinus, for sure.” William concurred, "Definitely."

We went through the portal and saw the women given the Sirens hell. A group came forward to challenge us. Hark and Omi faded in and we went at this group. I had killed more than my fair share when they started surrendering.

William linked “What a bunch of jerks.” No joke. I had more anger to get out. I said, “Brentley has the right idea. We get on team Melanie and we get to help her kill all those people that she did.” William and Julian nodded while Brentley smirked.

Alexander popped near us asking, “Which one who has surrendered is Duke Cosmo? From the assessment Keaton did, he would surrender and fight, he’s a coward.” Brentley bit his lip. Julian linked, “Well, shots fired from our big brother.” I replied, “I think he’s about to set Keaton off based on the look on his face.

Alexander told Keaton, “By the way, Tatum also told me even with their Fairy charm Luke was planning to take Odette as his chosen Song.” Yeah, he definitely was. William linked, “Damn. Alexander is pissed.” I replied, “You knew that based on the bond. Keaton was now enraged and I didn’t need a bond to tell me that.

Harish pointed at a man, “That’s Duke Cosmo.” The dead Duke hissed at him. Bernard sighed, “Freya is right. These clans could all go.” I asked, “Freya said that? Not Melanie.” Bernard replied, “It wasn’t just Melanie’s anger that was let loose on that clan.” Oh good. An angry goddess wolf was what we all needed in our lives.

Cython sliced his trident through Duke Cosmo’s arm warning, “Don’t you EVER hiss at him you wretched excuse of a man.” Harish looked all too thrilled about that defense. Bernard snorted, “We’d do that for mate.” Anyone who said a bad word about our mate would die.

Alexander popped in front of Duke Cosmo then grabbed him by the throat. William whispered, “He’s going to rip him to pieces.” EJ linked, “Are any of you going to stop him?” I replied, “What? No. That’s your job.” EJ chuckled, “I was joking and I’m not stopping him. They were dying anyway. Now, they will be terrified of Alexander. That all works for me.”

William linked, “I thought EJ had lost the farm there for a second. We are not the ones who stop anyone from doing anything.” I agreed, “Nope. We are the silent ones that watch as people follow their instincts. We encourage it, actually.” Both my twins winked at me.
