Fated Or Doomed

Bayou

Liv

As soon as I woken up. I went for a run. A very long, burning in my lungs run. As early as I can before the sun rose from the other side. I tied my hair up and put my running shoes on. I took the hot air and ran. I just ran and ran until my lungs felt like they were about to collapse. Just like my life.

Returning back. I showered before Travis could wake up. By the time he did. I was dress in a nice black halter dress. With a gold belt to hold my hips. It hug my body as it ends to my knees. I was just done packing both our stuff when he had roll over the bed. Calling my name in his morning husky voice. I sat down and sigh. He crawls to me to kiss my arm. I flinch a bit.

He gets up to turn my head with his thumb resting around my chin. “Are you okay?”

I let a smile out. Pretending I was okay. Kissing his lips with a deep passion to distract him from my disaster of a life last night. “I just want to get out of here.”

“Do you want to talk about what happen last night. It’s a big decision. After all these years, can you really walk..”

I pull out his grip. “I’m not walking away. I’m subtracting myself from something I don’t belong. I’m better off. We are better off.” I claim.

He nods his head. Grazing his thumb over my chin. “Yes my Luna.”

He hurries and gets dress as I finish our bags. I make the bed and leave the room as it was before our arrival.

“Ohh I got something for you to hold on to.” His eyes widen as I bent down. Slipping my hand under my dress. Slowly pulling my white, lace thong down each leg. Moving close to my mate. I slip it into his pocket. His eyes lit a shine. And I bit my lip to him. “Return it to me when you finish your fitting.”

“Wait.” He holds my wrist tight. And I held my head up to him. “Tell me you have another pair on. I don’t want you like this in another male, Alpha’s presence.”

I chuckle a little. Unbuttoning his shirt. The first three lose now. I slip my hand over his opening. And he grips my hand to hold in place. I trace his tattoo. The one that craves a moon shinning over the dark forest. Little dots of stars scatter over the sky. And one corner spots a woman sitting on her knees. Looking up as if she prays or worship the stars and moon. Like she finds comfort in the dark. The tattoo Travis says, holds all that he loves most in his world. Me, his wolf, Moon Goddess, and peace.

Teasing him with my tracing. “What’s the matter Alpha? You worry he will smell my sweet essence in your presence?” I whisper softly to him.

“I don’t want him getting off on it.” I hear a slight Alpha voice creep through. But he kept it cool but oh how I love that roughness. I love him rattle up in every way.

“Mmhh. Whether I am wearing a string, lace, cotton thong between my legs or not. In the presence of another Alpha, Gamma, Beta, Elder, or anyone for the matter. You Alpha.” Pressing my body over his. “You Travis. And you Malcolm. Are the only one who can make my p***y wet in seconds. And I swear if you keep me talking like this. I can’t lie that you are putting me in a frenzy heat right now. Needing you every so.”

I got on my toes. Slightly wiping my lips over his. Not a kiss but just a touch to let a spark run through us. “Is that what you’re worry about? Alpha?”

He growls to every sentence I say. I chuckle at his heaven. I know how he like to be played with. Yet I get off on it too. Just the pure reaction my mate has gets my folds wet.

I step down, and back. Hearing Mason calling my name. As I walk around him. He grabs my waist and pins me to the wall. Our face just inches away.

I grab hold of his hand. Guiding it up my thighs. Slowly. “What are doing?” He says. Moving his hand up, his fingers twitch at my entrance. He growls as they feel my wetness for them. Only them. Rubbing my folds I lean down to guide his finger in. He didn’t need any help to wiggle his finger slightly in my core. I pull him off in seconds. Biting his lips.

“Later my Alpha. Much later.” I say in a playful chuckle.

He growls in frustration. “f**k! I can’t wait for us to marry you my Queen.”

I lick my wetness off his fingers. “Play your card right and everything will go as plan.”

Again we hear Mason yell for us to come downstairs. “Come on guys! Its a drive around the woods to the bayou! Let’s go!”

Travis bows his head over my shoulders. Breathing out. I giggle to his hot breath against my skin. And quickly we grab our stuff and headed downstairs. Meeting an annoy Beta with frowning wrinkles.

“For real guys. We can’t be late to this meeting with Alpha Xion.” Mason stomps his feet.

“Yeah yeah. Kept your wolf at bay.” Giving him a kiss on the cheek.

As everyone jumps into the cars. Travis informs the men and women that our trips to Luminis is no more. With little details. He thanks them for their duty and orders them all to return home. The only witches we can trust and protect or the ones sworn into the Black Harvest’s coven. Which is no one right now. The tree has to be planted by a Elders blessing to be consider a coven. So in a few days. Black Harvest will have their own coven. And anyone at the age of 18 can sworn in. Making everything real afterwards.

While everyone settle in. Saying goodbyes. Mable shows a long face. I hug her tight. Making sure to not let my eyes water up. She kisses my head with tingling love she chants over me.

May you rise

May you shine

May you grace

May you conquer

Allow the good to pass through

Any darkness you face

For love will win

Take all of mine

To battle your battles

For love will win

May you peace

My goblin.

“If you want. There’s a room already made for you.” Giving her a solemn look.

She cups my face. “When I visit. My roots are here dear.” My expression falls. “Someone has to watch over Meredith. She.. She needs someone right now.”

I nod. I feel a pinch. Knowing once again the golden child is chosen over the damage child. But I grew too use of this.

I look over Mable’s shoulder. Looking into a tall window with blue curtains. I see them move as if someone was there. And I swear I saw the shadow of my sister.

Noticing my glance. Mable turns to look. She lets a soft smile out. “Give her time dear. She’s stress. I’ll speak to her.”

I shook my head. “No need Mable. I have you. That is enough.”

She nods as she understood my reason. Saying nothing more. I hug her once more. Before getting into the car. Driving off to meet Alpha Xion at the bayou as he requested.

Gamma and Beta rode with us. Travis and I sat in the back. He pulls me close to him as I lay sideways with my head on his lap. Cross my legs as I remember I am not wearing panties underneath. Travis recall as well as he pulls my dress down a bit. I let a smirk appear and he wraps his hand over my throat. Leaning in he kisses me. I gasp for air as I feel the tingles still on my lips. His thumb grace them. I smile as I snuggle up into him until we finally make our arrival.

The drive wasn’t too bad. Took long once we made it to the dirt road. The car rocks side to side for a good amount until it flatten out. Still on a dirt road we finally make it to the bayou. The air smell musky and soon a mid-size home enlarges.

A few wolves waits for our arrival. Guiding us to park by some logs. Getting out, the ground was wet. I kick my shoes to try to get some mud off. But it was that wet, red mud that dries up quick. I scoff softly as we walk behind some Omegas who didn’t hide their evil side-eyes towards us.

Travis holds my hand tightly as he keeps me close. Beta and Gamma walks behind with the same guard as my mate. Making our way through the home. We make many turns and even up a small staircase. We now came down a long hall.

The Omega stops and turns to us. “Alpha requested only the Luna and her lover. The rest of your party must stay here.”

Mason hides a growl. I know he senses our unsafely. Gamma rolls her eyes and nudge him over. I nod at them both, assuring we’re fine. Another Omega stays put with them. While the one who spoke opens a door that led us down another hall and a closed red door. He opens it up and allows us to enter first. Heading in he closes the door behind us.

We turn to see no one here. But both Travis and I can smell a strong earthy cologne. Seconds in a chair is turn to reveal a bulk, tan male. He wears a red velvet shirt that natural opens up all the way to his navel. The shirt tucks into his pants with a black belt. And his black hair was messy and pull silk back. Just a small strain falls over his eyes. And his eyes. They were fully black. Just a small grey shine in the middle.

The Alpha holds a smug look on his face as he rose up slowly. Striving towards us. He never took his eyes away from mine. Travis sensing his liking to me. And wraps his one arm over my waist. Bringing me ever so close to him. He was quick in doing so. I lay my hand over his torso to keep myself from falling.

This made the Alpha look me up and down. And that shine grew in his eyes. I felt a rumble in my mate’s chest. And I sooth him down with a small shock. As Xion watches, I keep my eyes with his. Not letting him know of my discomfort.

“Well, well, well. My Goddess. Look at what we have here. A true treasure ain’t you my dear.”

I chuckle at him. “Likewise Alpha Xion.” With his hand out after a slight bow. I don’t move a muscle. Showing him I am not entertain with his flirting. “Shall we sit? Or do you always keep your guest standing?”

I hear a small grunt from him. Plaster with a grin. “The head is all yours Luna.” Gesturing to the chair near by us.

Travis pulls out the chair for me. I did think he would play along with Xion by having me sit on his lap. But instead he twisted my chair to side with my legs cross and push it in. Keeping his hand on my shoulders as he lock dangerous eyes at the Alpha.

Alpha Xion nods and takes a seat in the middle where he stands. Getting close, Travis moves to the side. Giving Xion a warning look.

“Ha. Very protective mate I see. How cute. I see your arrangement was mutual by now.” Xion says.

“Moon Goddess bless us. Now move forward with what the hell we are doing here.” Travis says with his demanding voice.

Xion went on to tell us all the details of his and Sage’s deal. How when he first planted his pack here. The coven was just as fresh as his were. Rare time they would bump heads and Sage suggested a very odd and unique alliance. He questioned her act. Wondering why. But she made it very clear that some day. They may need each other. So to keep both happy, they signed a closed agreement.

He thought things will be silent between them. But time and time again. They call among each other. Him more than her. Until she needed a very special task. He went on to explain the attack and how he was tricked even. I show no emotion. Knowing he just wanted a reaction from me. He adds on how the years went for them. He took a liking to her and her stern voice. I can tell by his story he’s wanting something similar from me. Yet he has no clue I had already planed one of my own.

“So speak Alpha. What is your desire?” I ask me.

“Well you see my dear.” Travis growls at him. “Luna. I have spoken to your sister but I’m not please as I was with your mother. With you clearly more wiser, more stronger, and way more capable to have aside me. I wanted to give you a new sign. A contract. Making sure my wolves are pleased and well kept. Something new but not far from its original. I still want what Sage and I agree upon.”

“I had read it over. As the small favor you asked of my sister. So go on.” Uncrossing my legs and leaning over the table with my elbows. “What does, say Alpha request at this time.” I rise a questionable brow.

He smirks as his eyes glaze over. Mind linking someone. In seconds the door opens. A woman walks over to hand Xion a rolled up scroll. She kept her hands on him as she slide her hand pass his chest and held over his shoulder. I sense an intimacy between them. And as the woman makes her way behind the Alpha. I see she is no other than the woman from the woods.

I straighten my back. Letting a small mischievous laugh out.

“Excuse my rudeness, Luna. This is my head warrior. Strongest Delta I have on my force. But as you may recall. You two are well known.”

The woman walks over to me with a hand out. I look at her hand before taking it on a light shake. “Good to see you again Luna.”

“I see you made it safely home to your mate.” Both the woman and Xion laugh.

“No, no, no Luna. I have my very own Luna. As yourself, I too had to create my own. Lou here is yes a, you know.” Nudging his head at me. And I can tell they’re sleeping under his Luna’s nose. Or maybe she known such they’re not true mates. Arrange mates for title plays out differently for some. And this particular Alpha likes to keep his d**k wet from many females.

I don’t ask further questions. As I do not care. The woman heads back to her lover. Taking a strong stands next to him.

“Is she not one of your heads? She seem very qualified to be aside you. Why not take one or the other titles.” Travis ask. Wondering how this Alpha plays.

“I like men to fight aside me. Lou here is qualified but she a woman. When I truly need someone. I need one I can trust and whom won’t let me down. Emotionally. Women can’t be fully trusted in that manner. But don’t worry. I am aware of your line. We all have different ideas of what a strong pack is.”

“Clearly.” Travis whispers.

“Well like I said. I don’t want much change. I know this will please us both.” Handing me the scroll. Travis yanks it out his hand and laid it out in front of us to read. “A quick sign is all. I do not plan to trick you in any way. I just need you to welcome my wolves free desire to Luminis. And we will take over the 60% wood for ourself. Trespassing will have consequences. And so on.” He nudge at Lou. Who brings a pen to us.

“You know how it goes. You do a little thing for me. I do a little thing for you. We do things for each other.” He says while bitting down on his lip. My stomach turns as bile rose up in sickness. “We do things and we’re all pleased, Luna.” He smack his lips while he says the last word.

I smile as I read his many requests. All tricks and lies. Recalling his all deal. He expects me to kneel before him in any way. He wanted to gain power from us now that Sage is gone. Alphas like him think witches are dull, especially us young ones. And men like him think he can flirt his way in. But he may call this meeting for his own need. Yet I will make the calls here. I roll it up and smile at him. Making him think we’re in agreement here.

“I’m not surprise.” My hand flares in flames. Burning the scroll to ashes in seconds.

Alpha Xion is on his feet. Demanding a reason. “Don’t start a war Luna. You are just a child is all. You don’t want to play with me. I’ll call the Elders and you won’t ever get their blessing. Watch on the side as they throw you out. Wolves belong and lead with only wolves. They’ll take my comment serious!” His threat means little to us. We know how futile the wolves Elders would take his words.

“You may want to watch your tongue Alpha. If you ever want to use it again, I suggest you shut the f**k up!” Travis takes a protective stand over me.

I get up gracefully. Tapping his shoulder to ease him down. “There, there Alphas. No need for all this.”

“I expected more respect Luna. You may be Sage’s daughter but only she had the right to call for such manic.”

I walk over Travis to meet Xion. He steps close to me. I straighten my back giving a disgust look. Xion smiles as he caresses my face. Twirling a strand of hair.

“I enjoy the fury in you. Makes me miss your mother ever so. And she adores my every touch.” He ran his hand down my cheek and his thumb pops my bottom lip. I can feel Travis holding back. But as Xion continue Travis aims at him. Grabing his neck and Xion fist ram in Travis’s stomach. He lets go to bash his fist to his skull. Stretching his arm to attack again. Xion using both arm to block him.

“Watch yourself. Or I’ll make sure you see Moon Goddess quick.”

“Remember who’s f*****g pack you stand on.” Xion snarls. And both Alphas eyes flicker to let their wolves out.

“You don’t forget we come here out of curiosity. We can walk out right now and what happens next will be on you Alpha. Watch it!” He warns Xion. Both growl furiously at another.

“I said enough!” Growing ever so tired of his s**t. I swipe my hand up. Making the Alpha kneel. Lou growls with a smirk. She wasn’t mad completely.

“I’m not Sage. Your original deal is revoke. My sister and you are no more in talks. I make one call here and if you were smart you will take it. Because Alpha.” I stand over him. Bring his head up to me. “You do not want to play with me. I don’t only bite. I feast.” I flash my fangs at him. Darkening my eyes.

Not to my surprise he smirks at me. Liking my forces. Again he gives me that look with his black eyes. “And I am good enough to be played with little one. Cause I’ll let you. My blood will keep you warm in the winter.”

Travis moves me aside. Wrapping Xion’s throat with his hand. Baring his teeth in a need to rip his flesh. He squeezes slightly. A vein coming out on his forehead. Xion smile as he looks pass him. Still eyeing me.

“Give me the word babe. And I’ll kill him. This pack is nothing. You all are rogue meat already.”

“Not today.” Travis let him go from my call. Xion gasp softly for air. I let him go as he willing stand in front of me.

“Sage may be a cruel b***h. And I adore that from her. But you. Mhh” I push him back as he gets close to me. “You are divine in essence of evil. I’m drawn to you.” Biting his lips. A purr release between his lips.

“Travis baby. Grab the papers from Gamma please.” He does as I say and return. Pushing himself between Xion and I. Slamming it on the table. He kisses my lips in hunger. Making Xion frown and look at the papers.

“What is this? My demands are well put. Don’t you trust me?”

“No I don’t.” I step aside him. “What you and Sage have is nonsense. I don’t care for what favors you done for her. Or what she’ve done for you. I have one demand and that’s it.”

He towers over me and I push Travis back from attacking once more.

“You think you can scare me. Your pretty looks will get you as far as your mother’s did.” His eyes darting sinner now.

“Your threats are nothing but a tantrum. Don’t forget I am Sage’s daughter. And I am far worst then her.” My eyes stay green but fades to a darker green.

I see Xion flinch just a bit. “Clearly I haven’t known her as well as I thought. But you are too naive. Don’t think you witches can..”

“Let me make this clear Xion.” I close our space. And I know he’s welcoming it. “This is not an alliance. I’m not Meredith. Nor am I Sage.” Xion goes to caress my face. I speed around him. Slamming his face on the table. I held him there with his hands trap behind.

I lean in. “You will drop everything. I don’t want to hear so much as a howl from your wolves. You keep your distance and your hands. Cease war from both Luminis and Black Harvest. I will grant you one favor pre my approval. Train yourself and your mutts to behave from now on.”

“And if not?”

“Your heart will be on the outside of your body. And everyone here will be no more. Don’t start something you can’t win. It won’t be worth it to either of us.” I push him down more. Nearly snapping his arm. “Be smart and sign to keep your pack alive.”

Quickly I’m flipped. Lou growling at me. I chuckle in her face. I look over seeing Travis holding Xion down. Muttering threats to each other.

“It was funny the first time. But you may want to keep your hands to yourself. Unless you want a round two.”

I elbow her in the side. Breaking loose, we go in on a small bash. We block each hit. Shoving each other. We ignore the two Alphas own encounter going in. Lou gets frustrated with no motion. I find it funny how her fist can barely touch me. While mine gets a good connect. She snarl right in my face and my eyes bright red fixed on her. I match her snarl. Our breath on top of each other.

“I’ll be glad to kick your ass again. I’m half way there.” I chuckle.

“I let you had it easy.” She eyes me down. But a smile curls up.

“Psh sure.” I scoff.

“May word. You were a hell of fun.” She smirked at me.

I put my hand on her right shoulder to pushed her off. “Word of advice. Keep yourself protected.”

She chuckle softly. “Yes Luna.” Taking a step aside. I suggested Travis to let him go. As he shoves Xion to the table.

“So Alpha?” I muck.

“Pen?” He groan from the hit Travis gave him. I let him to smile at his dismay. He straighten himself up. Holding the pen above the dotted line. “I need one thing Luna.”

I slump back with my head tilted. “When time comes. I want to speak to you directly. Just you. I also want invite to future events at Black Harvest. Every pack must thrive right?” He smirk at me. “One day you’ll see how good it is to have each other so close. Skin to skin even.”

I roll my eyes. Noticing his eyes search me like a prey. “No invite. You don’t go near my people. Luminis included. And yes. All your calls and wishes will go straight to me. Now sign.”

He nods before signing his name. Handing the scroll back to me. He tighten his grip to bring me close. I show no reaction.

“I’ll see you soon. Very soon.” He sniff the air around me. Inhaling my scent.

I yank the roll from him. Showing just a light smile. “Good day Alpha. Maybe you’re not as bone headed as I thought.”

I turn on my heels and Travis and I both begin to walk out.

“Your welcome anytime Luna. You and your gorgeous wits” He shouted as the Omega closes the door behind us.

Heading towards the door to meet Gamma and Beta. I hear Lou call me. “Luna? Luna?”

I halt and turn to face her. I hold a scowl. Thinking her Alpha demanded more. But what she says really shock me.

“With things aside. And after the other day. I was thinking we can spar. I don’t really have anyone as good as me here. And with you in the woods. It was fun. Maybe if you have time. If it’s not a bother of course.”

I read her face. Her aura was soften. I held my hand out. And she quickly hands me her phone. I quickly put my number in. Before handing her the phone back.

“Not a word to anyone about this. We will meet in a discreet place.” I say.

Lou smiles widely. Bowing to me. “Not a soul. Thank you Luna.”

“Mmh huh.” I flare my hand out to dismiss her.

Travis whispers to me before meeting the next door. “Was that for her or you. She’s too close to Xion. And I don’t trust him.”

“Then trust me my Sweet Wolf. This can be good. Besides. Gamma will keep watch when we meet.” There’s no way I’m letting my guard down.

“Your brain works wonders my Queen.” We share a smile. And I knew he understood my reason for accepting Lou’s offer.
