Lost and Found by her Alpha

Siren Song

Star POV

What the hell was happening? I could feel a shift of something in the air. But it went as  quick as it came. You ever have that feeling of a cold chill that runs down your spine that chills you to the bone, giving me the shivers. Turning I saw Zane holding Princess in his arms in a tight cuddle and she was stroking his face. He moved so swiftly and gracefully towards me. A high pitched girly, damsel type squeal left my mouth. Devouring my mouth with his, lips soft and cool to the touch. It was over too quickly and I wanted more, chasing his lips as he pulled away, this man can kiss, wait no. ‘Xander’ I asked, a little breathless. “How is this possible?”

“It doesn’t matter! I only have a few more seconds before Zane returns. I just wanted this few seconds with you. I love you little mate, in this life and the next” he said and I knew exactly the moment Xander left because the chocolate brown returned in his eyes, before it was a swirl of copper and gold. Majestic. He kissed me again deeply so much passion I felt it in my toes, through every fibre of my being. 

“Little mate”

“My Wolf” smiling. I wrapped my arms around him and just stared into his eyes, I could stare into those eyes forever I thought. This feeling and pull I get when he’s around is strange and absolutely terrifying but f**k it my v****a hop, skips flips and do the hooky pokey just the sight of him even my heart does this little pitter patter crap when hes around, or maybe that indigestion, I don’t know whatever it is i’m screwed. I have never felt this strongly about a person before other than my kids, even now I know this feeling is different, it is stronger, it's more and that terrifying, but I want it. I want to run, and stay and drink it all in. At this point I'm screwed and all I want to do is screw him.

She said all in one breath, taking my hand, I rose to follow her. I can hear her mother calling after her. A beautiful brunette comes running up to us, to snatch her daughter away. 

“I’m sorry Luna, she just got away from me, she won’t bother you again” 

“What's your name?” I ask with a smile. 

“Jenny,” she said with a shake tone. 

“Not to worry, she's been a delight, beside were friends, right Milly”

“Huh huh, her name is Star, she going to play with us” 

“I'm sure Luna has better things to do than play with a silly little kid” she nervously laughed. 

“Its fine, let's go meet your friends Milly, and i’ll introduce you to my daughter can she come too”

“You have  a daughter?” she excitedly asked

“Yes and her name Princess, she is around your age.” I tell her as she leads me further away from my mate. He watches me with a smile of something sensual yet seductive in those eyes.  I moved from one group to the next throughout the night with princess on my hip. Nina spent the night with Mac and Asher. As far as Asher was concerned Mac was a god, Mac is alpha. That's all. I don’t need another spanner in the work to mess things up. Serenity was eager to go to her mate but I needed the space to breathe and take all this in and I wanted to meet a few of these people I'm supposed to be in control of. Are they worthy of my time? Can I trust them to have me and my children's back, when the time's come? 

After playing with the kids for what seemed like hours, but when I checked my watch it's only 49 minutes. I look up to see Mac observing me as he listens to Nina ramble on but I know he's watching, observing, as always. Searching the gathering for my so called mate 

 I spot him in the back on the stage, sitting watching me. If I wasn’t attracted to creepy mac-creepy, well I would say that … well he’s being creepy mac creep-a-stone. Yes I’m well aware of how stupid I sound, I can hear my own inner monologues.  Leaving the once in the care of their parents walked over to Mac. I noticed the young man from this morning hanging around, he seemed to take his duties seriously. I ignore him for the moment, because he seem harmless, sipping on the one bottle of beer all night while eye f*****g my daughter. 

“Hey Mac,” I say, sounding like a child about to be scolded by her father for being naughty. 

“Hi, lass, thought i was on a rescue mission, imagine my surprise when i find you here at a Luna ceremony.” I bowed my head and let out a long sigh. 

“I know, but everything just spiralled out of control so quickly you know, and Serenity is so excited for the first time in a long time about something, someone, it just felt right.” I say raising my head a little. I felt like a little girl who daddy was chastising. 

“Okay Lass, that wolf of yours knows something she is not sharing and I know that there's a reason for this too. If she says he's your mate, I respect that, but i reserve the right to kick his arse first, make sure he's right for ya. Gotcha makes sure he's strong enough to take care of my rúnsearc” gods that Irish accent gets me every time time. 

I smile at him, “try not to be too hard on him, please, please pretty please whip cream, honey and all the mint ice cream you like” he laughs a hearty belly laugh that he reserves only for me.

“Ah lass,I promise” he kisses my forehead and I hug him with a squeeze. 

“Now go to him, if you want me to keep my promise, because hes staring at me and my animal doesn't like it.” I giggle

“Your animals don’t like anyone.”  He just smiled. I bend to ruffle Asher's fur and kiss him, and then lean over to kiss the girls. 

Making my way over to my mate, I see his pupils darken, with something, is that need. It better be. 

“Hey!”

“Hey, having fun?”

“Yeah, I actually am.” I smile “ So what's next?” in question.

“Next we run,” 

“Now, but every once having so much fun”

“And now they can have fun as a wolf” he say taking my hands standing towering over me. 

“Greenwood, time to run” he yells

 I turn sound to see everyone start stripping. Like what the f**k. I turn to see Zane grinning in amusement at my shock and now horror because I can see old man wrinkly elder balls yak. I cover my eyes and he just laughs in my face like this funny. Peeking out i hear and see bones cracking and in less than a few second i was surround by the greenwood pack wolf, in all their wolven glory. It was majestic. 

“Are you ready little mate. 

“Ah no, the kids..”

“Are fine, they will be escorted to their rooms once we leave even your Mac” he tells me. He thought of everything. Except where I need to change. I'm not getting undressed in front of all these people or wolves. Nope, nah huh, not happening. 

“Zane, where do I get undressed?” I question” he smirked and took my hand in his and we strolled off to a little tent for me to change. 

“Prude” serenity barks and google. 

“I don’t know these people i'm not undressing front of them you perv”

“They are your people now”

“We’ll see. I still don’t trust them”

“Trust me, Trust out mate” she tells me. I removed my clothes in silence replaying the night's event so over in my mind. Trying to answer the many questions that plagues my mind over and over. Nothing comes this good without consequence or maybe overdue for some good. 

Inhaling deeply I let Serenity come to the forefront and just let go. The shift was less than a second but I felt every bone in my body break and reshape revealing my ginger coloured wolf. Seeing me from afar I resemble a fox, a huge fox. At least I'm still foxy as a wolf. 

“O you do like to ramble on nonsense. Time for me to see my mate” she complains. Leaping out of the tent we come face to face with Xander, it doesn’t matter how many times I see him he still stole my breath. He was absolutely breathtaking and the way he stares at Serenity with carnal hunger and need. I understand why she loves him. Wait, what? b***h you love him already, we only just met him, i mean like is a better feeling wouldn't you agree. She snorted, snorted, ignoring me. She walks over and licks his face and he returns the favour. He let out an ear piercing howl to the sky, she followed up with her howl too and then there was a choir of howls going up in the surroundings.  We jogged out to meet the pack and Xander led the run. We took at lightning speed. This time I made him take the lead since this was his pack and he knew where to run to. It was freeing to feel the wind caress our furr, the bare earth beneath out paws. Leaping and jumping over logs and boulders in the way was exhilarating. I wanted to keep running and only stop when my paws hurt. A ball of fur caught my eye, almost losing my step. I slowed as I watched Asher leap over a log and kept up with the rest. What natural born heart attack is he trying to give me. A vision of the little lion Simba caught in a stampede of buffaloes The Lion King ran through my mind and panic set in a low cracked growl left my throat. Side stepping and jumping over wolves as they follow their alpha almost getting my ass trampled trying to get to him. I push against Serenity to move faster as she tries to calm me. He looked my way and the little s**t just sped up. That little fucker sped up with the rest of the wolves as he saw me coming, okay, okay that how you want to run this. Get trampled on like the f*****g lion king and die like Mufassa and see what I do to your furr little ass.  I was so angry I didn't realise that I was falling behind on the run. 'f**k fuckied fuck.' Damn pup is going to give me a heart attack. I sped up so I can be on his heels, because as far as I can see he is the only pup here. I let out a howl, as we ran, we passed the pack making our way up to the front. He may be small but Asher was fast, like super fast for his age. He can out run me on a good day and I was one of the fastest wolves I knew faster than Xander. I had to be growing up, always running from the homes or human police sometimes, then when Serenity came she loved running through the woods. When we both just give in to the run and our magic we move like a bullet. Asher has been keeping up with me and Mac for years, he learnt to run before he learnt to walk so it shouldn’t be a surprise that he would want to run with the pack, especially since this is the first pack he’s ever been apart of. My baby, he’s still my fluffy baby. I fear for him more than I fear for the others. Because this world can be cruel to what they don’t understand. Our family is definitely medicine you have to take a bit at a time with sugar, like your f*****g Mary Poppins.  A spoonful is definitely recommended. 

"whats with you and all the Disney talk" Serenity ask

"Ask your daughter, maybe we do need some adult time" i tell her and she rolls her eyes, bitch

"Slut" great now I'm arguing with myself.

 Once we caught up with Jackson I knew Xander wouldn’t be too far up front.  Passing the warrior winking as Asher leaps on and off a wolf to push himself further as I pass the warriors and Xander elite team, I had to shake my head. Kids were using everything to his advantage like Mac taught, I bet that dam Tasmanian devil put him up to this. In no time I was back at the front of the pack on Xander's tail, I nipped at it for funzy. Asher stayed on at my heel, then the little sucker hopped on top of my back using my momentum and leaped atop my head. Trying not to shake him of I balance him like we practise and I bolted forward. Xander looked at us with curiosity as he ran. I just smile with amusement Xander passes us shaking his wolf head.

“I wanna win mama” he says, his competitive nature puts a smile on my face.

“Okay, go for it” I told him and he leaped off onto Xander then in front him, causing him to falter a little, I chuckled. I see Asher bolt ahead and I sprint to catch up. When we got to the clearing we all came to an abrupt stop,at the top of a peak's edge. Xander let out a loud howl followed by Asher's tiny howl, which made me smile. The entire pack howled in tandem with them and a musical note rang out as the howls shook the forest. 

Xander stood by Asher side, as I shifted, no longer caring about my nudity, I needed to hold him and let him know that I understood why he did it and that he was as much of a wolf as any of these wolves around us Xander stood over me as I hugged my boy to my chest. 

“You are loved, you are mine, you are a wolf” I say to him, letting our heads touch. I squeeze once more and shift back to Serenity as this is her moment with the pack and her mate. I'm glad Asher snuck out and ran with us even though a small part of me wanted to throttle him and wrap him up in a blanket and keep him closer.  As the chorus of the wolves dye down Xander nods his head over the peak at the raging river below.  We looked out to see, HOLY f**k, are those, what I think. f*****g mer-people. Fishy f*****g mermaid, out in the open. I met a few at Mac's bar but I never saw them in their water form. They were so f*****g. .. wow i'm lost for words  

“They always come when we sing,” Xander tells me. 

“They are natural sirens so our wolf song calls to them, and this is a joyous occasion which makes it more special. As we watched them splash I was speechless at the majestic creature before. I sat on my hunches and listen to Xander speak 

“We stay away from the river when they dance above the river like that, no wolf would survive them when they're in this type of frenzy and in their natural habitat. We come here to sing for them and watch them dance. Not a lot of wolves have the privilege but we do because we share land of sorts. This river is part of our territory, we protect these waters and its inhabitants. We protect each other. 

A memory flashback of the day Asher and his sister were born. Asher howls louder, interrupting my memory lane voyage and they all stop and turn, looking up at us, like they are only just noticing us. Noticing their actions the wolf stopped their howling except for Asher, his howl continued and the weirdest thing happened, they all started to join in tune with his howl. The melody of Asher and the merfolks was so in sync it was like we were all in a trance. A whirlpool of water swished up towards us and riding it was the most beautiful half fish half woman I have ever seen, Ariel eat your heart out. She stopped in front of Asher, and smiled. I wanted to grab him and run back to the woods where we would be safe. Xander snarls at the woman, but Serenity still my movement. She bowed instead. Freaking bowed, does she have no self preservation traits? 

“Come now nephew, that's no way to behave” she tells Xander and he c***s his head.

“Your highness“ she greets the fishy woman. 

“My brave Guardian, you’ve done well” what the… Serenity you know her. Serenity. I yell but she doesn’t respond.  She motions towards Asher who also bows his head, she uses her trident, a freaking trident, Serenity she has a trident. King Triton, I found Ursula she got your trident.  If she wasn’t pointing that thing at my son this would be so freaking cool, who am I kidding its still f*****g cool too bad I’m going to have to fillet her if she hurts him. Instead she lifts his head. 

“Young prince you never bow your head, to anyone” she tells him

“You have your mothers eyes” she tells him and he looks at me. At this point I was panting like a fish out of water, pun intended. She placed the trident on him and a bright light shone from it as she placed it on his right shoulders, we all had to close our eyes from the bright light. When the light receded she was gone, and it was then I noticed that the rest of the pack was frozen in place.  I spun looking for the fish b***h, thunder rolled in the sky as lightning struck around us causing me to yelp. Moving closer to Asher, I heard him in my head, and I mean in my head not Serenity's, mine.  

“Sing” he howled and the siren kept up their tune. The wolves started howling again like they were finally out there trance.

He stared at me saying

"Its going to be OK mom, don't worry" Before I could have a moment's thought on what he's saying or what just happened and what that light was that she touched Asher with a lightning bolt shot straight for Asher and I moved to get him out the way but I was too late. It struck him dead on, like all those strikes before was a build up of this and over and over again it hit him but I couldn't get to him like there was a barrier blocking us. 

“Xander snarled and bash against the barrier trying to get to him but we were both shot backwards away from him. No, no, no, no, no, ASHER, shifting back I screamed until my vocal cords no longer had any use. My heart is filled with dread and the loss of my son, as the lightning keeps striking over and over around him, through him. He rose in the air, f**k panicking I was beyond whatever panicking was I was, I was, I don’t know I just was. His tiny body bowed and a great howl left his tiny body sending excruciating fear and terror through me. I felt paralysed to do anything, I wanted to do… Something. I watched his bones break several times in several different places. Zane was at my side trying to hold me back from trying to jump back into the lightning storm to get to Asher, and I hated him at that moment for keeping me from my son. Using my gift from my mother I sent a strong wind separating us and sent him flying across the opening. Over the cliff's edge, but I didn't care Asher was my concern. Magic, I had magic. I called the voice of the earth that always speaks to me ever since I was a small child, and let the earth shake beneath my feet, letting the earth rise beneath me. "you have water b***h I have the earth and we hit harder. 

“Don’t hit the boy” Serenity snarled

I imagined my entire body covered in stone, like I did when I was 17 and I watched that Marvel movie Fantastic 4 and the Thing was made, and I charged at the barrier that was keeping me from my son. Again it shot me back flat on my ass but before the blackness took me over into unconsciousness I felt the intention of the lightning strike as it struck me and a jolt of lighten coarse through my body, the last words I heard were of Majesty screaming her brothers name ‘ASHER.’
