The Werewolf Nanny.

3

Over the next few days I came to understand something, werewolves were very big in body language, touch, and smells. Even little Eden and Aaron were like that, and they were really young. Every morning Jon, Marsha, and Even Ben would come in and give me a hug in greeting. Marsha is Ben's mate the little flirt, I didn't know, Jon and Mr. Grant didn't have one. They could see when there was something wrong with me, or when I was frustrated, mad, sad, or happy, all by smell, and body language. Like I thought from the beginning both Jon and Ben became like big brothers to me, Jon was a couple years older then me and Ben was a whole four years older, then me. I'm twenty-seven.

And Marsha like Beth an other big sister, and also liked Beth and Ben her husband/mate was a mix black white woman, she was wicked smart and funny, and really loving, but there was a limit for her, her patience was very limited. Especially with the kids, she was convince some tough love was what Aaron needed, that's where we disagreed. Aaron was in pain and he wasn't letting anyone in not even his father. I also noticed he wasn't in any activities to let all that anger out. I asked the others if they knew how to fight?

Jon was the only one to volunteer to help. I had taken a few taekwondo classes but it been a while, so one day I put his skills to the test. I knew with one kick he could really do some real damage so he really had to take it easy on me, and to my not so much surprise he kept pinning me, he explained it wasn't that I didn't know anything but I just didn't have the speed.

"I can't hurt you, man, you want to see my speed, then here."

I put some real power and speed into it and this time he felt it was a good challenge, we spared a few more minutes until to my surprise he had me pinned again this landing right on top of me.

"That was actually really good."

"Thanks."

"What the hell is going on here?" the voice was low and deep, but we could both feel how much trouble we were in, we looked over and saw Mr. Grant and Suzette walking over to us. We quickly got to our feet and stood in attention.

He glared at Jon and Jon nodded and left us, he then turned to me, he was definitely pissed.

"I don't remember in the paper work saying I hired you to get hot and sweaty with my men."

I glared up at him, but I was sweaty.

"Yes, sir, we were just blowing off some steam."

"The only steam you better be blowing  is the one in the kitchen."

Sexist ass, I nodded and headed back inside. I showered and went to check if Eden had woken up from her nap.

That afternoon I got a call from the Den of the school and she explained  Aaron was coming home with a few bumps and bruises, he had gotten into an other fight. This surprised me, he was six and had a lot of violence inside of him. He really didn't know what to do with it. I didn't say anything to Mr. Grant and they had dinner with Aaron not saying much, as I feed Eden.

Everything was quiet and that's how it ended that night, Mr.Grant went to his room with Suzette, and I tucked the kids into bed. It was strange but even when Eden knew I wasn't her Mother she wanted to cuddle with me, so I did for a little and hummed her a song, once she was asleep I put her to bed, I went to my room which was just down the hall from theirs.

Something told me to go check Aaron, but I ignored it I had just looked in on him. It wasn't long when I heard grunts and whines, in his baby monitor. I got up and headed to see him. He was squirming and twisting, then started to scream. I jumped on the bed next to him and just held him.

"Mommy!mommy!"

"Shhh it's okay buddy you're okay, shhh."

I rocked him and held him tightly to me, and ran my fingers through his hair, as tears ran down my face I knew his fear all too well, and it hurt me to see him not have the support to heal. After a while he was asleep again, but as soon as I tried to move he didn't let me go. So I slept in the bed with him. The next morning, someone clearing their throat woke me up.

"Elizabeth, why are you sleeping in my son's room?"

I looked down at Aaron and he was still sound asleep, I got out from next to him and walked out of the room, with Mr. Grant behind me. Then turned to look at him.

"Aaron had a night terror last night."

"And that gives you a right to baby him?"

I looked up at him not believing him, and his stupid attitude toward his son's fear.

"He's only six, he needed to be baby once in a while, not treated like some over emotional teenager."

"He is also my heir and future Alpha to my pack.."

"What pack, it's only four of you, what pack?"

I definitely had crossed a line, but I didn't care these poor kids needed someone to defend them, werewolves or not they needed love and nurturing. He suddenly grabbed me by the neck and pinned me to the wall, his eyes burned into mine. I could see the pain and sadness he hid behind all of this macho man mask, but just because he was miserable didn't mean the kids had to be.

"You will do your job as I say is that understood?"

"No, I don't understand, you want to hid your pain go ahead, try to bury it with s*x, and work, and whatever else you're doing but it'll will feel ten times worse, once it does come out."

"Don't talk about things you don't understand, little girl, it just might get you killed."

"Then I will die, knowing I helped these kids deal with their pain."

I pushed him of me, and walked away to my room, before I started to cry in front of him. He was cruel to his son, and wants him to carry his pain, he's so young to do that without having a break down. I was going to do everything in my power to get him to open up.

(Alexander's POV)

I had come down for a glass of water and to check on my children. When I found Elizabeth cuddled up with my son, my wolf wanted to kiss her for being so kind with him, Aaron has had it bad he closed off, and doesn't talk to me, but she didn't need to know my pain.

Looking into her eyes I could tell she spoke from a place of pain herself, I could smell her fear for my son. Who was this woman that has only been here for a few days and has had my wolf like freakin puppy, and horny as hell.

That day I found Jon on top of her my insides burned with jealousy, but why she was nothing to me, why was I so protective of her. I have spent these past few nights unable to sleep without seeing her, or.....

Dear Goddess what was going on with me?

(Liz's POV)

Today Mr. Grant was going to be home the whole day, to spend time with the kids, and what better way then to spend it at the pool it was nice out, and everyone was going to be there, even his mistress. I put on my bathing suit it was simple nothing too flashy or revealing. it was a two piece, the top was like a halter top and the bottoms were  high waist that really showed off my legs. which thanks to my latino genes where lightly tanned, but still white because I hardly ever got sun on my legs. I looked at myself in the mirror and liked how everything clung to the right places, and I felt comfortable.

Once outside I saw Jon and Ben and Marsha and the kids were already outside, I went to pick a spot to sit at, and put my towel down, and my wrap I had around me.

"Damn girl who knew you had a body under all the clothes." said Marsha as I put on my sunscreen.

I looked at her swim suit and suddenly felt over dressed again, she was in a bikini and showing off her killer body.

"You never know right."

I kept my eyes down and kept putting the sunscreen on myself, until I needed to get my back.

"Here let me help." said Jon I past him the bottle and he messaged the sunscreen on my back, it felt nice. He got done and I jumped into the water and Eden came toward me wanting to get in with me, she'd been at the kiddie pull.

"HI everyone." I looked over and I made Eden and Aaron look away. Suzette was in the worst bathing suit ever, it showed everything it barely covered anything and then it was see through, with boobs and and ass so obviously fake but she thought she looked good. I rolled my eyes and kept playing with the kids, when Mr. Hunk Grant came out, his body was amazing, he was wearing only swimming shorts, that were clinging to the finest ass I've ever seen. I shook my head and focused on the kids as he and Suzette cuddled in the basket chair. the other challenged me and Jon to a game of chicken I agreed. Jon got me on his shoulders and Marsha on Ben's, we were doing good until I suddenly heard a low growl, and Mr. Grant called to me, with me distracted Marsha pushed me off.

"Hey that's cheating, I call do over!"

"You lost far and square woman!"

"Elizabeth!" I looked over at the boss and went under the water and swam toward them, when i stepped out I pushed my hair out of my face and walked toward them.

"Yes, sir?"

"How long have the children been out in the sun?"

"Not that long Eden just went to lay on my towel and Aaron joined her maybe two minutes ago."

"Get them under cover."

"Yes, sir."

I went to grab one of the big umbrellas and was getting it set but couldn't get it open, after a while Jon came to help me. We stood under it for a second yes we were really close together. Like I said they were all about touching and cuddling and most people would think we were a thing but no, and Jon had told me so too, he was a friend and had no alterier  motives to touching or hugging me.

But I think even too much closeness would spend the wrong message to others. I gave Jon a hug and he jumped back in the water, I asked the kids if they wanted anything to drink and they did so I went toward the mini bar they had to see if I could find some water.

"Give me one." said Suzette, I ignored  her and handed the kids their waters.

Soon she came over and took the water bottle from Eden, which she started to drink right in front of us.

"That's was Eden's!"

"So?" She said still drinking the water, I looked around and saw why she was being a b***h,  Mr. Grant was on the phone and wasn't paying attention. Okay then let's see if it was the same with his mistress, I got up and as she drank the water I squeezed the bottom making her gag and choke on the water.

"You stupid b***h!" She slapped me hard, I actually felt my skin tear open, as I fell back.

"Liz?! Are you stupid, you could've broken her neck!"

"She should learn to respect me, and know her place!"

"You shouldn't of taken the water bottle from Eden!" I yelled at her, it wasn't until Eden went crying to her father did everyone stop and Jon pulled me away from Suzette, to look at my cheek.

"Yes, Suzette why did you take the water bottle from my baby girl?"

"Oh, babe it's just a water bottle no big deal."

"She hit Lizzy!" squealed little Eden really mad apparently," Lizzy have owie!"

"oh, no mama, I'm fine, see owie is okay come here."

Eden reached out to me and I took her from her father, and hugged her to reassure her I was okay. Eden gave me a kiss on my cheek to make it feel better, but suddenly out of the blue, Aaron ran at me and started punching me.

"Hey,hey, Aaron buddy what's wrong?"

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!"

Everyone froze, as Aaron ran off toward the house, and it broke my heart to hear him say that. Marsha was going to take Eden but I told her I'd go put her down fro a nap. On my way out, I went to Aaron's room and saw him on his bed just crying. I knocked softly as I walked in, he didn't turn.

"Aaron, I need you to talk to me, what's wrong, buddy, what do you want me to do to fix it?"

"Leave!" he yelled at me, Leave, go away!"

"You sure that's what you want?" I asked softly.

"Yes, go away!" He screamed and laid on his bed.

I turned and found Mr. Grant standing behind me in the door way. 

"You got your wish, hope you can handle what's coming, I'm gone."

I got my things together and called a taxi, they took me back to the house with Beth. A month it didn't feel like a month, I guess I was just one more Nanny fail.

(Alexander's POV)

It had hurt her deeply when Aaron, wanted her to go away, it surprised me even, but I think it was more because Elizabeth was making him feel again, it's been two years so the pain was still new to him and feeling love for an other feels like you're betraying the other, but she had been right he needs to feel it, for him to recover from the loss, but now she was gone. Even my wolf made me feel it deeply.

"Why are you feeling like this, not even when my wife died did you feel her loss so deeply?"

"Shannon, was a beautiful woman, but she wasn't my mate, she became a friend, but not my mate."

"So why Liz, why now?"

"It's her, she's our mate, Alex, I wanted to deny it this whole time, but it's her."

"NO, not her, she's human!"

"I wouldn't be so sure about that, she feels different, different then any human I've ever sensed, you need to find out what it is."

"No, you want her but I don't."

"Don't try and deny it, Alex, the way you want her away from Jon, the way you watch her, how you can't sleep even when You have warmth in your bed, it's not hers."

Shit he was right, I have been really on edge when I saw Jon put his hand on her back, and watching them play and laugh with each other, it made my insides twist in anger...in jealousy. I guess i had some digging to do but for now I needed to find a way to get her back in the house and probably get rid of Suzette.

(Liz's POV)

The next week has been unbearable, the nightmare from before has been heavier and louder, the pain in my chest was so bad I would spit up blood, Beth would tell me to go to the Doctor, but I already had and no one knew what was wrong with me. A human doctor once told me I could be possessed, a couple of witches didn't even know where to start to look, so I gave up in trying to find a cure for my pain.

But this time it was really bad, like I had a freakin elephant on my chest. I've had it sense I was five and Mom never knew what to do just let me suffer alone. She was always too busy with her husband to worry about me.

ONe day I was still looking for through the news paper for more jobs, when there was a knock on the door and Beth was just leaving for her shift.

"Liz, tall dark and handsome at the door for you."

"What?" I got up and went to check who it was, and there in the door was Mr.Grant.

"Come in Mr. Grant it's nice to meet you."

"Beth, shouldn't you be going to work?"

"I'm just introducing myself..."

"No, nope get going!"

"Fine party pooper." She walked out, and closed the doctor behind her.

"What can I do for Alex?"

"Alex, what happened to me being Mr.Grant?"

"You're not my boss anymore."

He nodded but looked at me with a serious face.

"I need you to come back Elizabeth, not for me the kids, mostly for Aaron."

"What happened to Aaron?" I asked a little worried.

"Like you told me, after you left it was too much for him, then one morning I found him completely unresponsive, I called to him and shook him, he wouldn't wake up until I took him to the hospital, he looked like he was having a seizure, then just screamed."

I felt tears run down my face, Aaron was having the same reaction I did when my dad was taken away. Guilt hit me hard, but I wiped away my tears and nodded grabbed my jacket and followed him out.
