Skittles
It crushes my soul when I consider what Caleb went through the last few years because of my misery and suffering from being aside from me.
I am in his arms with my head over his heart, my legs are between his, and my hands rubbing his abdomen. Near him, it is paradise.
I opened my eyes and glanced around. The place is spacious and has open spaces, living room and kitchen. Only the bathroom and wardrobe were, apart from others with doors. Caleb said he prefers large places, and this area is more like a penthouse, couch TV, and all, but this time with original windows.
“Sweet Jesus, I love waking up in this manner. Your hand turns me on, Kitten.” My mate spoke with a husky voice but did not move or open his eyes, and I stopped.
He creates his way to my neck and runs his lips over my skin. Sometimes biting makes me moan from pleasure. He reached for my breast, then messaging and piercing my n*****s, making me wet, giving me the desire to feel him in me.
“I want you to make love with me, baby. Make me yours.” I propose to him amid moans.
It did not take long for Caleb to get to know every inch of me, his tongue appearing on my c******s, inserting a finger into my v****a. Moving back and forth made me scream in ecstasy. After my orgasm, insert his c**k into me, moving, then increasing the tempo, pushing deeper and deeper, boosting my orgasm. I did not hold it anymore and put my fangs in his neck as Caleb did the same.
It feels like my eyes burn. All is going white like the mist with golden lights flying around. At this moment, our love increases, feelings become known for both sides, Clarissa becomes one with Zeus merging their powers, and we do the same. All I have is his. Everything he has is mine. We are equal in every way.
“What the f**k do you need?” Caleb's tone sounds angry.
“Alpha, we had a problem at the borders. You must see this.” There is Paul's voice.
“Give me a minute and don't forget to knock next time, you fucker.”
“Hey, we waited for you to finish the love session. What more do you want?” John said, entering the room too.
Is it for real? I am hiding behind my mate's back from shame and shooting at them.
“Get the f**k out, you creepy motherfuckers. Did you listen to us? f**k off!”
All three burst out in laughter, making me nudge Caleb. But he just turns around, kissing my nose.
“I have some issues to take care of. I love you, kitten,” Caleb murmured.
“Yeah, Luna, he has business to get care of.” Hulk confirmed
“You are still here? Get the f**k out, man.” My mate yells.
The twins laughed and got out. They are childhood friends and that is why in private they talk like that with their Alpha, not to mention making fun of him that is in love to the core. We took a shower together, and I saw in the mirror on the left side of the neck two white wolves with their heads crossed as if embracing themselves and moons on their foreheads, surrendered by a golden light. Clarissa and Zeus printed like a tattoo, on our skin. I keep smiling about how much I cherish him.
After that long shower, Caleb got to the border, and I visited Nina to take the clothes that she brought from home. We ate, and we talked about everything that went on until now. Kev was not with us, he was with Caleb at the borders helping with some things, but no one said what had happened there.
Later I finished my work on my notebook, then tried to find my mate walking through the castle.
*Where are you? * I ask myself.
*Kitten? * I look around and search for him or his smell, but nothing is there. I just heard him.
“Caleb? Do not play with me. Where are you?” I shouted. *What the f**k? I am going insane now. *
*Kitten, you are not crazy, you talk to me in my mind. *
*Huh? Something like that does not exist. *
*I think otherwise, Kitten. It is rare, but not unheard of. We can mind-link from everywhere. *
* I love this, though. I feel more comfortable when you cannot be around, but in my mind. Where are you? *
*I am outside, at the border. Celeste can show you around. *
*I do not like her because she touched what's mine. * Clarissa joined the conversation.
*Relax, sweetheart, this body is only yours to devour. * Zeus?
*f*****g hell… I have three voices in my head. Baby, and I mean Caleb, where can I find Celeste? *
*To the training area, she is a self-defense trainer. From where you stand, walk to the left, then downstairs, go forward to the next wall, then left until you spot other stairs, then right, and you are outside. *
It got me twenty minutes to discover the field, and Celeste was indeed there with children exercising. I am pleased I have dark jeans and a top because I can place my ass on the ground and watch them. Everyone was concentrating on doing the proper moves… apart from a little boy who stops there looking pale. I force my way to him and ask him if he is ok. He said nothing, but he was shivering and sweating. His eyes keep changing color.
“What's going on, buddy? Are you injured?” I wanted to ask him more, but when he glanced at me, it was like I looked at a piece of someone I know. I am uncertain who it could be, but the pressure in my chest increased, and I did not move.
*Kitten, what is happening? I feel your distress. * Caleb opens the mind link again.
“You are in danger, Luna. You are in danger.” The kid roars. What? I grabbed him in my arms to calm him down, asking myself how it is possible to suffer awful things at such an early age, or more accurately, to ask how he can know at all that I am at risk?
*I… I need you here. *
“Please, get the pack doctor!” I am screaming in Celeste's direction. How can I fulfill my Luna duty if I am helpless to cool down a little kid? I let my tears fall on my cheek and hugged him to draw his pain, whispering that it is ok, and I will be ok, and he does not have to be scared. Then a gold circle appears around both of us, the child hugging me, crying, and sobbing, telling me I am in danger, and he needs to look after me. He did that until he dropped asleep, and only later did I let my golden shield down. Caleb came in my way, panting with the twins and Kev, all four-looking alarmed. With an intimidating tone, I point out all of them to remain away from us, protecting the boy… I am frustrated too if you ask yourself why I did that, but something tells me to not let him go.
“Kitten, we don't hurt him, you can feel that. Please tell me what happened. Your panic attack eats my soul.” My mate said with a tremulous voice, sitting beside me.
“It's not my fear. He just repeated over again that I am in danger, and he wishes to defend me. Then he delivers me all he went through. It was so unbearable. Then this feeling like I recognize him, and it's important to me.” I explained, crying, showing the boy.
Caleb stood there, wanting to suggest something, but he was uncertain if it was a proper thing right now.
“Come into the living room. We will talk about it. Sammy can sleep on the couch.”
Sammy… I had a friend Sammy, but five years ago, he died. I let my mate hold Sammy, and I leaned on Kev with my head on his shoulder. Then we followed Caleb with the twins behind us. Celeste and the children went, already searching for help. Thinking about it, I do not know why she did not return or send up the doctor to help us. I will ask her about that later.
Caleb put Sammy down on the couch and, applying a severe tone, ordered the twins to investigate the castle inside and outside for trespassers. He alerts everyone else about having intruders or someone who deceived the king and queen, and he demands to bring her to the dungeon for interrogation. If I am right… I think Sammy somehow noticed that I was in danger at that exact moment. But how is it possible?
“I need to know what is going on, Caleb.”
“This morning, someone wanted to penetrate the border. Our warrior investigated but detected nobody, only the beast's smell. I said beast because he stinks like burned flesh. The same smell as the 'looks like wolf' who attended your life. About Sammy, he was the strongest pup near you. That's why he felt the threat.” Caleb explained, sitting beside me on the couch.
“You mean this fucker tried to get to me? But Celeste was there too… I mean, she must feel the threat, isn't she? How can a child be sharper than she is? I told her I needed help, but Celeste did not come back. And I do not understand why I did not notice the danger on my own and Sammy is not a mature Wolf even if he is an Alpha, also pure blood.”
“You say Celeste was there, too?” Caleb standing up now.
I just nodded yes and asked him what it was. He snatches his phone from the table and calls Johnny to bring Celeste to him, then stares at me with his eyes bigger and swearing.
Lucas enters the room with Brenda, Nina, and Mary, all of them with worried expressions, analyzing me and Sammy, then Caleb.
“What's going on and why do the twin's order left and right to identify certain intruders?” Lucas asks us.
“Lara gifted me with a knowledge of golden power, but not where the enemies are. I do not know what is happening, just that someone is trying to get to her this morning, and someone is in the castle already… or someone from our pack betrayed us. No one has permission to touch my queen, not even one f*****g hair from her head.” My mate is shooting angry and so loud that the walls shake.
If I were not his mate, I would have sweat as everyone does in this room, so I went to him and kissed him enough that he forgot why he was furious, and only stopped when he was calming down. He hugged me and smelled my hair, then whispered in my ears.
“I can't survive without you, kitten. I love you too damn much to let you be in danger.”
“I am with you, and I will forever be. You will protect me as you already have. I know you fulfill your commitment because you are my soul, and together we are strong enough to combat everything who is trying to get us apart. I can't live without you, either, or I love you to no end.”
“Was it a marriage proposal?” Hulk asked, and made Lucas and Nina chuckle.
Celeste was with him, and she was not happy at all. Caleb let go of me, making his way to confront her by asking her why she disappeared from the training area, leaving me alone with Sammy.
“I took the kids out of there. She becomes like a ball of light who is going to explode and slaughter everyone. I knew we were in danger, the kid said that.” Celeste lied.
“Sammy! His name is Sammy. You never used my brother's name. Why?” Caleb hisses, then continues. “You were one of my best friends Celeste, I know when you lie. Not only that, but you have felt the threat approaching your Luna, and prefer to do nothing about it, letting a little boy take this pain, isn't it? Or… you were the threat. So, tell me, Celeste, what the f**k is your problem and why did you choose to betray me?” My mate distrusted her and made her confess under his Alpha power.
Without being able to get on her feet, Celeste said, crying that she is in love with him, and she wants me gone. About Sammy, she added. He became more attention than she was becoming.
“Why don't you want me?” She screamed at Caleb. “I have rejected my mate for you. You do not need her. I was all my life near you, and I was there when you refused another woman. It is because you love me too, but you didn't realize it.”
“Now, now you lying b***h, haven't you f*****g listened to what I f*****g say to you? Let my mate be! You're f*****g crazy?” I did not yell at her, but I used Luna's power a little. I am not that furious, but I am not in a good mood as well. It is embarrassing to fight for someone who's once yours, but she is not on her mind. I know Caleb will never betray me like that, not him.
“The one gone will be you. I am disappointed in you, Celeste. Likewise, I do not tolerate pointing fingers at my mate. I did nothing inappropriate to make believe so far. Likewise, I did not want a woman because I was already hers, and I trusted you, Celeste, as a friend. Why the hell would you reject your mate? If you persist in making trouble, you will no longer be Silver Spring pack members. I give you time to realize your mistakes.” Caleb notified, signaling to get her away. Celeste looked at me and Caleb discovered we had marked each other, disliking me even more.
“No! How can you do that to me?” She became hysterical, screaming like a banshee. “You will regret this!” Echoing all the halls existing in this castle.
*Wow* What did you do to her? * I ask Caleb.
*I do not know, Kitten. But I have a bad feeling about this s**t. * Caleb was a little unhappy because she trusted her, and now he must send her away if she continued to intervene between us.
The wolves are peaceful. We try to resolve our problems, avoiding slaughtering each other. We can love and hate. Likewise, we are animals but also humans, and we are trying to live harmoniously with everyone. Of course, we do not have to trust just because we want peace. There are so many ways to hurt someone, but killing is likewise a probability, just not always.
Sammy was awake and looking at us, scared to move. I hurry to him, caressing his head, saying that it is ok.
“You are ok, sweethearts?” I asked Sammy.
“I don't know.” The boy whispered.
“It's ok.” I said to him, then looked at Caleb. “You didn't tell me you have a young brother.”
“I'm adopted, we don't know where my parents are.” Sammy responded instead.
“We don't identify either who we're or who they are. They sent him to us five years ago alone. Sammy just mentioned many are going to die, and he feels it would be better not to see it. We took him and gave him a room and everything he needed. His parents are nowhere. We love him very much, and Caleb is like a big brother to him. He doesn't even recognize which pack he belongs to before, but the only pack who they attacked was your father's one. Sammy does not wish to talk about it. We did not push him, but that day he declared: 'when the time comes and the true Golden glows, the unknown enemy will be exposed'. He repeated that for hours until Caleb touched his hands, then Sammy feint. We realize he is a pureblood Alpha, not more. We looked everywhere for clues, but nothing else.”
Brenda explained.
“How did you know that would be an attack, sweetheart?” I asked Sammy, taking him in my arms.
He is big enough for a 10-year-old boy, chocolate hair and blue eyes, a small nose, and thin lips… just like my friend was.
“I was playing in the pack house seeking and finding. I was hiding in my uncle's office under the desk when Beta got inside with my uncle, talking about his Luna. She is involved too in something I did not understand. Alpha noticed I was there but let me stay put until Beta went away, then he asked me to come out and help him eat candy bars. Thereafter, he asks me to hide when he will order me to do so and protect his daughter by taking her far from him. My cousin was nowhere. I could not find her, and she was already dead. Then I landed here. My uncle instructed me to come here but without speaking with anyone else about what happened because I must discover the golden light first. I did not realize what he meant. Then you came around, and I just knew you were special, but I did not know how to explain to you. Coby wanted to introduce me to you as his brother yesterday, but I was scared that you would not like me.” Sammy broke down and explained.
“I'm deeply sorry, sweetheart. I'm just so sad.” I cried with him and kissed his cheek and continued… “How can you think of something like that? How can a sweet, handsome boy like you not be likable?” I asked him, smiling, and wiping his tears away. Sammy looked up at my mate and grinned when Caleb wink, but everyone else in this room said nothing, just listening to us.
“Sammy, who is your uncle?” Mary asks.
“Alpha Matthias, but I can't recall the entire name, not even my pack name. It is just like they removed my memory. My dad let me alone there when I was three years old, saying he was coming back, but he did not. My uncle took care of me, and Lala was my best friend. Only Luna was a little sad and distant.”
“Skittles?” I cried so hard when I realized who he was.
It was his nickname because he always wanted skittles bars and sometimes stole them and hid them under his pillow. Markus announced he was dead too, but here he was under Caleb's wings, waiting for me. I squeezed Sammy, and we cried with happiness, then I ran into my mate's arms, saying thanks over again. My father did not say that he was my cousin, not even Sammy mentioned anything about that because it was under Alpha's command.
Then it hits me. He was my father's way of helping him. Sammy was in my dad's office when I dreamed about the small box. Sammy was helping me without indeed knowing. Caleb knew as well that it had something to do with me because he was so protective of this boy, without explanation, and I was in his mind on the exact day when Sammy entered the borders.
Fuck me! Everything is so f****d up, with many secrets and wrong leads. My father wanted to protect every one-of us, but left nothing behind to make it easier. Who wants me killed and why? Now mated with Caleb and marked, we kept the balance. Why would I be a threat to anyone? Ah! So many questions.
“How did my dad know where he will be safe? He knew so much, but how?” I am asking no one in particular.
“I have an answer for you.” Brenda responds. “Your father saw the future one time when your mom died. You are born with golden energy, the first child who does not need balance because you did not get the elements, you are one with them, as Caleb before explained, that is why he has your father's golden power from you, you didn't need it. You already know about that from my son. Not only that, but you choose to give the gift of knowledge, aware that Caleb is your mate. Your old man knew as well, you just cannot remember. He came to us and revealed everything. But the rightest thing to do is to fight for Caleb and his love, and let him love you in his way and you in yours. Intervention between you two can provoke a disaster, and we let him find you alone. Your mother shows him with her last breath what will happen and what he must do. She was a seer and your dad a knowledge holder. Lucas's strongest friend.”
“What about Serenity? Or alpha Markus? He did not come to the ceremony or many alphas. Why is that?” I wanted to know.
“The most trusted alphas can be present at the ceremony because we placed it in our territory with our pack members, and you needed protection as well.” Lucas explained.
“We don't trust Alpha Markus or many of the Alphas. That is why I ask your family to stay here with us. Mary can continue as a pack doctor. Kevin and Nina will have their own business further. And, my Luna, if you need your father's company, you can have it… because I just bought it as a gift for you. All I want is to never go alone there. You can manage it from home a lot as well.” Caleb joins the conversation.
“You did what?” I am jumping like an i***t from side to side. “You did that for me? You did that?” I asked, not believing that my father's business is now secure. I jump into his arms, kissing him, forgetting that there are people around us.
“Stop eating at Lala's face, Coby! When do you learn to do that? You never had a girlfriend.” Yes, Sammy is around too.
“He learned by making out with the pillows.” Hulk mocks and Hi-five his twins.
“f**k off!” Caleb said, annoyed, and everyone laughed.
“I prefer not to see that either. She is my sister, for crying out loud.” Kev complains, forming a funny face.
I hid my red cheeks in Caleb's chest, causing all of them to giggle.
We talk about what will happen next, about this creature who looks like a wolf in flames, where we can find him, or how we can fight him if he has incredible dark energy. Caleb said that my power could be taken from me, and the ring I own is the key. It means that someone knows how to use my mother's ring, but we do not. The best thing to do is hide the ring, and the big question is where.
Mary wanted to go back and have an eye on Alpha, Kevin does not want us apart, and Nina… well, she goes wherever Kev goes, but she wants to be near us too.
Sammy and Paul are laughing at each other, and Caleb's parents are helping, but John is unhappy. There is something wrong.
“What's going on, Johnny? You are so serious.”
“I am sorry, it's just, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but Celeste was my mate, and we rejected each other. I am okay about that, but I did not believe that she denied me to be with best friend Caleb. He does not know either. You are at risk from the inside. What if she is the one trying to kill you? Why didn't I notice?”
“No one knew, ok? It is not your fault. If it was not her, it was someone else. Changes nothing, Johnny.” I try to comfort him.
“Yes, this changes everything. I vow to protect the Alpha and his Luna. And I will do that.”
“I will serve the same as this fucker.” Hulk opens his mouth.
“Do you have to ruin everything, shitface?” John argued with his brother.
“We are twins!” Paul cracked up, laughing.
Here we go again. It is interesting to see how they are mocking each other, but…
“I'm hungry.” I grumbled, and everybody was looking my way. “What? I didn't eat today.” Now everyone is glaring at Caleb.
The twins started giggling, forgetting about their arguments.
“Let's feed you, then.” Caleb said, carrying me in bridal style.
