The Alpha and His Hunted Kitsune Princess

Crushes Pt. 2

I asked, “Ashley Griffen met him?” Remi snorted, “No, and doesn’t that just give flashing neon signs to people? You and me, girl. We see the signs. People are so blind.” I asked, “Did you tell Grandpa Ralph your theory?”

Ashley Griffen was a damn legend. She was a wolf less girl who took over as Female Lead Warrior at sixteen. She put on workshops and rumors swirled that she actually ran Black Path now. Which was not exactly believable since Alpha’s had to run things. It was probably Caine Davis if we were being honest.

Remi nodded, “He agreed and Nathan, his grandson, was going to pass along his thoughts. Nothing has come of it though.” I snorted, “We should run the world. We’d get some answers.” Remi gasped, “Right? I’m telling you we are the right people.” I laughed and we ate and drank more.

Remi grinned and I knew that Karl was behind me. Sora chuckled, “With Brax.” Karl came over and laid a kiss on Remi. Karl teased, “I’m here for my allotted sexy time window, mate.” Braxton chuckled, “As am I.”

Remi squealed, “Have fun! Bring her back to me for our sleepover, Brax, or else.” Braxton raised his hands, “Piper will be at your sleepover.” Then he grabbed my hand and we took off. He drove his truck and parked.

Braxton admitted, “I thought we could run for a bit.” Sora huffed, “s*x, run, then more s*x, Piper. That’s the plan.” I straddled Braxton and kissed him. Braxton growled. I pulled back, "Definitely yes to the run, just in a second.”

Braxton ground up into me, “It will be more than a second. God, I missed you Piper.” I admitted, “I missed you too. You put the bar pretty high and no one met it. I mean there was just the one, but it was definitely not met.”

Braxton chuckled, “You set the bar high yourself.” I ripped his shirt off. Sora said, “He is very muscular.” I knew that. We managed to get each other’s clothes off then I pressed the button to lower his seat back.

I straddled him now that we were naked and slid onto him. I groaned, “Fuck.” Braxton growled, “Piper.” I found my rhythm quickly, as if I’d never stopped. Braxton’s hands flicked my n*****s and it felt like I came in seconds.

Sora grumbled, “See? It’s easy. That Warlock wasn’t trying at all. Ugh. No more of those. I am writing them off and forbidding you from having s****l encounters with them.” I nearly laughed. Braxton put the seat up and tossed me back into the back seat.

I laughed before he pounced and slid back inside me. I moaned, “Brax.” He growled and began to pound into me. I begged “Harder!” Braxton put my legs over his shoulders and we lost track of time.

Eventually he laid down on top of me while we both caught our breath. I trailed my fingers up his back, “So, a run?” Braxton smirked, “Let’s go.” We got out and shifted. Sora was running and Braxton’s wolf was chasing. They enjoyed playing together.

We made it back to his truck and shifted back. Braxton handed me a hoodie out of the cab of his truck. I put it on then smirked. Sora agreed, “I approve, be playful.” I jumped on the hood and spread my legs.

Braxton growled, “Piper.” I licked my index finger then slit it between my legs. I moaned and suddenly Braxton was there. He flipped me onto my stomach and spanked me before sliding back into me and f*****g me against his truck.

Afterwards I simply shimmied on my underwear from earlier and got in his truck. Braxton chuckled, “I really did miss you, Piper.” I admitted, “I missed you too. My whole senior year plan went up in flames.”

Braxton growled, “We would’ve kept you safe.” I told him what we’d said then, “I know that, but it wasn’t fair to the humans. That guy was threatening the whole school.” Braxton scoffed, “He never got near pack lands.”

I sighed, “He never does.” Braxton asked, “Is he still close?” I frowned, “Sora and I don’t understand how he keeps finding us. He gives notes to people and has blurry pictures of me. I know he can’t get to us on any pack land though.”

Braxton growled, “We’d rip him to pieces.” Sora grumbled, “He’s annoyingly good in the shadows.” I told Braxton, “Mom thinks that he’s being helped by Witches since the pack can only ever catch a faint whiff of his scent.”

Braxton scoffed, “We never got a whiff.” I admitted, “I know but he attacked that human because of me.” One of the girls in our class was nearly beaten to death and the note at the sight was hidden by magic until I saw it.

Braxton argued, “No, that was not on you! That’s on this sick bastard!” I admitted, “He keeps hurting people if I stay too long. He’s got some weird idea that I’ll come to him. So, we usually leave after the first note now.”

Braxton ground his teeth, “I hate that for you. We all do.” I admitted, “I know but mom has been ahead of him lately. People have texted her notes that were left for me when she feels it’s time to move on.”

Braxton grinned, “I love your mom’s intuition. We still miss you guys.” I admitted, “I miss it here too. This is more my home than anywhere else is.” Then that damn Ninko had to go and take it away.

Braxton said, “Hey.” I wiped at my tears, “It makes me so mad at my dad and his people, my people. I know that’s irrational but they are supposed to protect me. My dad is my Tenko, why doesn’t he know I’m out here? Why hasn’t he found me? Why isn’t he protecting me, Brax?”

Braxton parked and pulled me into him and I cried into his neck. Braxton said, “I’m sure he would if he knew.” I grumbled, “Unless they thought it was my path.” Braxton scoffed, ‘Then I’d knock him into next week.” Sora sighed, “He probably could not do that, but I like that thought.”

I admitted, “I’m so worried about my mom. She’s not like us, Brax. Mom’s more vulnerable and fragile than I am.” Braxton replied, “Hazel is tough as nails.” I whispered “You know what I mean, Brax. She was in the hospital for a week after that Berbalang encounter. What if this Ninko hurts her? She’s all I have.”

Braxton cupped my face, “He’s not going to touch her or you. The guy isn’t even after her. For all the things I think about that prick, he’s smart. I’ll give him that.” Sora agreed, “We are like foxes.”

I sighed, “He knows I’d kill him if he hurt mom.” Braxton nodded, “I think he does, yes.” Sora made her noise of anger, “I would wipe the floor with him and rip him to tiny little pieces.” I touched the necklace mom had gotten for me long ago.

I admitted, “That’s logical and to a degree that guy thinks like me, but he’s crazy. What if there’s an opportunity presented and I lose my mom?” Braxton held me tightly, “That won’t happen. We will protect you and Hazel. You’re not going to lose your mom, Piper.”

I cried, “She’s all I have, Brax. The only piece that holds me together when I think about what I don’t have with my dad. I have mom and I can’t lose her.” Braxton held me and rocked me until I calmed down.

Braxton cupped my face when I pulled back, “You’re not going to let some dickhead hurt your mom. Hazel is formidable and I know for a fact former Alpha Ralph got her a gun.” I asked, “He did?” Braxton nodded, “Yes. He had it custom made and gave it to her before she left.”

I sighed, “I wonder if I should get Megan to make mom a necklace like mine.” I showed it to him. Braxton shrugged, “You probably could get any Witch to cast protections. Joe and his family cast charms for your mom on things. We take your safety seriously whether you are here or not.”

I hugged him again whispering, “Thank you.” Joe replied, “We will always have your back, Piper. You are one of us, even when you aren’t here.” We got out of the truck and went back to his room in the pack house where he made me forget more of my troubles.

After we were sweaty messes, I took a shower and he took me to Karl’s cottage where Remi was staying tonight. Remi opened the door and frowned, “Why are her eyes bloodshot? What did you do, Brax? Was I not explicit about how you would make my bestie happy?”

Karl put his arms around her looking moderately worried Braxton was about to get his ass kicked. I waved, “You know he didn’t do anything. I’m just worried this stalker is going to hurt my mom. Braxton was amazing and held me through my breakdown.”

Remi replied, “As he should be. He has been duly warned and he’s always been a great guy. Also, if that FUCKFACE ASSHOLE WHO RUINED SENIOR YEAR so much as CONSIDERS hurting Hazel he’ll face a can of WHOOP ASS his evil self has never seen.”

I laughed, “Thanks, Remi.” Remi grinned, “Anytime. You are my girl and Hazel is a bad ass.” I shrugged, “She’s human and an easier target than we are.” Remi conceded, “Well, that’s true.” Braxton groaned, “Remi.”

Remi snorted, “You can’t deny the obvious. Hazel is human, a bad ass one but still human. There are rules of engagement though, Piper. If that guy went after a human, your mother, then he’s fair game.”

I pointed out, “He went after a human we went to school with.” Remi agreed, “Yes, and he’s on the human’s radar for that. If he went after a Supernatural’s mother, then he’s on everyone’s radar and it’s game the hell on instead of just our pack’s radar.” That was true.

Remi pointed out, “The Supernatural Council would have to get involved and the dude is wily like a fox. He knows that. Hazel is safe.” Her logic made me breathe a sigh of relief. Karl kissed Remi and Braxton pulled me in for a kiss then they both left.

I grinned, “You’re getting married tomorrow.” Remi squealed, “I AM GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW! POP THE CHAMPANE!” I laughed and went and did just that. We drank and watched movies.

Kyle delivered our pizza with a smile on his face. Remi shouted, “I’m getting married tomorrow, Grandpa!” Kyle’s eyes misted over, “I know you are. It seems like just yesterday you were born and I held you for the first time in the pack hospital. You were a beautiful pup.”

Remi grinned, “I get more beautiful every day.” Kyle agreed, “That you do. You girls have fun.” I hugged him before he left and we went back to our movie marathon. Eventually, we fell asleep.

I opened my eyes in my forest then gasped, “Preston?” Sora said, “Even as a hologram he’s handsome.” Yeah, that was not him but it looked like it. He held his hand out to me. I started to run to him but he disappeared.

I woke with a start and looked around. I groaned, “Great. I talk about the man and I dream of his hologram? At least I could dream of having s*x with him like a more normal person." Sora replied, “We are exceptional, not normal.” I’d argue but we kind of were.

I quickly went and made breakfast for us both. Remi woke up when I put the plate full of bacon, eggs, and biscuits under her nose. Remi jolted up, “Oh my god, breakfast in bed!” I laughed, “As the bride deserves.”

The oven went off and Remi smirked at me, “Did you cook cinnamon rolls for me?” I rolled my eyes, “You can smell them.” Remi clapped, “You know I love those.” I admitted, “I do know that. “I went and got them out then put the icing on the top of them and brought several back for her.

Once we finished I ordered, “Shower in here. I’ll use the hall bathroom.” I jumped in and got out right as a team of people arrived for hair and makeup. I left them in and they set up. Remi shouted, “Get your stuff done first. I’m primping myself. God, I’m pimping myself out right now.” Everyone laughed and I sat down to get my make up down.

Remi’s mom showed up and grinned at me. I waved, “Good morning momma B.” She smiled, “Good morning, sweet girl. It just feels so right with you here.” I really missed it around here. Stupid Ninko.

Sora agreed, “Such a stupid Ninko. If everyone would just let me HUNT him then we could stay where we wanted.” Sora and I agreed it was worth a shot, but no one else did. Sora grumbled, “We are eighteen.” Yeah, well we hadn’t graduated high school yet, but once we did something told me that the goalpost would move.

Sora scoffed, “If I was the hunter rather than the hunted I have the advantage. As long as he is the one on the hunt we are more vulnerable and I was not meant to be prey, Piper.” I reasoned “You know I agree with you, Sora. I’d let you after that guy in a heartbeat.” I wanted to live my life how mom and I always had.

We’d made a life here in this pack that wasn’t like those in the past and that evil dude, who wouldn’t even reveal his DAMN name, took it from us. Sora huffed, “One day, he will pay for that.” Yes, he would.

Remi sat down as my hair and make up was finished. I went and got her water so that she could sip through a straw while they worked. I grinned at her when they finished, “You look amazing.” Remi grinned, “Dress time!”

I quickly put mine on then helped Remi into hers. Her mom and I were crocheting the corset tighter and using it for the buttons. Momma B muttered, “We do all this work and my son in law will just rip it off.”

Remi chuckled, “Yes, but Joe is going to snap his wonderful fingers and repair it so I can hang it in a place of honor.” Momma B smirked, “Yes, I heard notes have been delivered to him repeatedly today.” Remi grinned, “I keep his life exciting.”

Sora cackled in my head. Remi continued, “My soon to be husband is his Male Lead Warrior after all.” Momma B and I started laughing. The photographer arrived and Remi and I posed for photos together before it was time to head to the ceremony.

Beckett and Remi’s dad were waiting outside for her with her other siblings. I stepped away to give them a private moment. Sora went on alert. I huffed, “Not now.” I saw the glint of a reflection. Sora said, “If there is a sniper AT RO’S WEDDING WE KILL THEM!”

I spotted Braxton threw the window and ran my hand over my mouth. Braxton’s eyes widened and he clearly alerted the Alpha family. I called, “I’m going to go to the bathroom really quickly, Remi.” Remi replied, “Make tracks, girl!”

I ran towards a house that would put me under cover and then went into the tree line. Sora replied, “I smell a Warlock. Ugh. They have been so annoying lately! Let’s kill this one for our unsatisfying s****l encounter with his kind.” I snorted, “No.” Sora grumbled, “Spoilsport.”

I snuck up on the guy and grabbed him by the neck. He yelped. Grandpa Ralph said, “Waiting, was just not in the question I see.” I replied, “Well, I signaled Brax. I wasn’t about to let a douche ruin Remi’s mating ceremony.”

The Warlock huffed, “Let me go, Piper.” I frowned, realizing this was a classmate. I asked, “What the hell are you doing here?” He huffed. Sora scoffed, “I remember him.” Karl had come over here. I winked at Grandpa Ralph who tried to hide his smirk.

I scoffed, “You’re really showing up at Remi’s mating ceremony because you still have a crush on her?” Karl snarled, “WHAT? REMI IS MINE!” I replied, “I know that. Maybe knock some sense into this guy.” I grabbed his phone and deleted the pictures he’d taken of Remi.

Sora huffed, “No, we already have the one stalker. Our best friend cannot have one too.” I threw the phone at the Warlock in anger. I warned, “I don’t have the mental capacity to deal with another freaking stalker. You guys handle this.”

I walked off leaving a seething Karl. Joe was waiting near the building. I grinned “Your snapping fingers might be required sooner. I bet I got that guy killed.” Joe snorted, “You think? Jesus, Piper.”

I skipped back to Remi. My best friend grumbled, “Freaking Warlock. I never gave that guy the time of day! Look at my ass! Look at his face! I even said that TO HIM!” I grinned, “I remember.” Remi huffed, “Whatever Karl and Beckett were handling it.”

Remi’s dad snorted, “I’d go handle it, but my son in law is more than capable and your grandpa is there.” I’d missed seeing Kyle there. I bumped Remi, "Friends that have stalkers stick together.”

Remi grinned, “On the one hand, of course we have stalkers. We are SO HOT!” We both busted up laughing while Remi’s dad lovingly rolled his eyes at us. Grandpa Ralph came around the back, “We are back on track.” Then went inside.

Beckett came back because he was walking down with me since he was standing up for Karl. Beckett kissed the top of Remi’s head, “All handled.” Now, if only my stalker could be so stupid and get caught like Remi’s.

Beckett held out his arm to me and we walked in. His eyes were on his mate. I smiled at her and she winked at me. I spotted Beckett in the crowd easily since he was sitting next to my mom. We made it to Karl who shook Beckett’s hand.

I went to my spot and the doors opened revealing Remi. Karl teared up as she made her way down the aisle. Their ceremony was quick, but most wolves were. Karl kissed Remi possessively before they went back up the aisle.

Beckett and I followed the photographer took shots of the whole group then dismissed Beckett and I for bride and groom shots. Beckett chuckled, “I think my sister planned a reception to drive Karl just slightly insane.”

I replied, “She did not. Remi loves a good party.” Beckett grinned, “Yeah, she does. My sister is here today because of you, Piper.” I said, “You would’ve found her.” Beckett admitted, “I don’t know that we would’ve. I’ll never forget that you found my little sister.” He squeezed my shoulders and went over to his mate.

Braxton growled from behind me, “This is a dress.” I admitted, “Remi has good taste and begged and pleaded to get a Princess Luna to create it.” Braxton said, “Well, Princess Luna Haley outdid herself. You look amazing.”

I blushed and he led me to my seat then took his next to my mom. Beckett and his mate were already at our table. Remi and Karl showed up and were announced minutes later. Everyone cheered and whistled for them.

Remi sat down beside me declaring, “I’m starving. Someone bring me my pizza.” Karl snorted, “We are having pizza?” Then smacked himself, “What am I saying? Of course we are. My wife gives zero shits about fancy food that is supposed to be at receptions.”

Remi agreed, “You’re damn straight I don’t. It’s about us and we love pizza. I’m not adhering to human traditions that no one will convince me is about getting them to spend ridiculous amounts of money. Plus, I wanted our pack to enjoy today, not cook.”

Karl kissed her then pulled back, “You are amazing.” I teased, “I knew we were having pizza.” Sora agreed, “Yes, we did. We even get a special box of our delicious Hawaiian pizza.” It was my absolute favorite.
