We're Not Superheroes!

Makahi POV:

            “I can’t find her, are you sure that we checked everyone?” I asked Montego, still looking around as the catering people bustled around cleaning and preparing to leave. My wolf was clawing at me wanting to get out. He thought he could find that delicious watermelon smell faster than me. I could barely keep my focus during my meeting, trying to finalize our new guard schedule earlier. Once we were done, I came straight to the kitchen trying to find the wolf that smelled so damn good. I could literally taste it on my tongue. I still don’t know what will happen once I find her anyway. I’m not really trying to think about what it means that my wolf wants to find her so bad.

          “Yes, we have checked every single person that catered the dinner earlier. Your mother is going to kill you for missing her anniversary dinner. I really wanted to sample the food she picked for the human women, it smelled so good, and from the empty plates I can tell it tasted good too. I missed it, so now I have to pop a frozen pizza in the oven when I get home.” Montego said sadly. I hardly cared at the moment, my mother would more than likely have leftovers for us if we had the courage to face her; but since we missed the dinner, I for one am not going to see my mother, until it is absolutely unavoidable. Yes, I’m the alpha who still fears his mother.

       

            My phone ringing pulled me from my futile search. Looking at the phone, Summer’s face popped up on my screen. I groaned not really wanting to deal with her at the moment. I felt instant guilt at the thought but didn’t want to stop my search. Sighing, I gave up, and headed for the exit with Montego smiling, finally happy that he no longer had to help search for the missing she wolf. Putting the phone to my ear, “Hey baby, what’s going on?” I asked absent-mindedly. “Hey baby, I was calling to see how your mother’s dinner went? Was she really mad that I couldn’t make it? I just couldn’t make it in time because the designer that’s making my dress had to make last minute adjustments. Please tell me she’s not mad at me? We just started getting along and I don’t want to ruining it.” Summer whined into the phone.

          She has been really obsessed about the mating ceremony. I still don’t understand why we can’t do it like it has always been done thousands of years ago, I love her and want to make her happy. “I don’t know how it went because I wasn’t there. I had to lay out a new pack guard schedule, because of the recent rogue wolf attacks. She shouldn’t be upset at all; she has her human women to occupy her. You really need to start Luna training as soon as you get back. You only have three weeks left before the mating ceremony, when you become Luna you need to be ready to take on the role babe.” I said, trying to make sure she understood what’s expected of her after the mating ceremony.

          She already knows that which is why I don’t understand why she isn’t taking it seriously. "I know, I know I swear I will start when I get back. I should be back early afternoon tomorrow. So, the human women actually came I was hoping they'd drop out. I guess I’ll see how they plan to organize our mating ceremony. Although, I don’t like the idea of human women being in our pack. I also don’t want to upset your mother when we are just making progress in our mother daughter relationship. Maybe the humans will be so bad at their job that miss Lateri will fire and kick them out. If that happens then Keonna could do it, she actually wants to organize the ceremony. I feel she would be better because she’s a wolf and knows more about our ways then those filthy humans.” Summer sneered in disgust. “I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one, because my mother loves those human women, she calls them her chocolate drops. So just be civil ,don’t start any drama, or trouble.  You and mother will get closer if she sees you being nice to her human friends.” I said hoping she will take my advice.

            “Fine, you’re right, I’ll be super sweet to her little human pets. When I get back maybe you and I could grab lunch at your place, maybe you can eat something else, I missed you like crazy baby.” she said seductively. For the first time in our relationship, I didn’t want to have sex with Summer. She was great in bed and did things with her mouth that had you in a haze for days afterwards.

But now me and my wolf seemed uninterested in having sex with her. Shaking my head, what the hell is wrong with you? This is our future mate; I have to put a stop to this she-wolf search. I have rogue wolves and a mating ceremony I need to focus on, and apparently it was all in my head because I didn’t find her. “It’s a date I can’t wait to see you tomorrow ,yall girls drive safely.” I said wanting to end the call. “Ok baby it’s a date I’ll see you tomorrow I love you.” Summer responded. I hit the end button without responding back, no big deal that I couldn’t get my mouth to say it back. I sighed deep in thought, with Montego still walking beside me back to my office.

        It was twelve o’clock in the morning, we had an early pack meeting to inform our warriors of the new guard schedule, also tell them what we have found out about these attacks. “So, we’re done with the search of the missing mysterious she-wolf that has you chasing your tail?” Montego asked walking up beside me. “Yea for now, we have far more important things to do like, making sure our pack is safe and avoiding my mother, so she doesn’t rip out my spine and make you eat it.” I said shuddering at the thought of facing my mother’s wrath, because we missed her anniversary dinner. “Hey, I have nothing to do with that you’re the alpha,  you ordered me to help you.” Montego said, turning pale at the thought of dealing with my mother.

          “Oh, so you’re willing to abandon your alpha that you have sworn to protect?” I asked. “You damn right, especially when it comes to our Luna, nobody ever wants to be on Miss Lateri’s bad side. did you see how Shadow was after a run in with your mother? Even your dad knows better.” Montego said, making a left turn going towards his home. “Coward! I yelled, laughing as he went towards his home. “I’ll be that, see you at six am sharp.” He yelled as he disappeared down the street.

         Sighing, now I’m left with my thoughts that immediately goes back to the mystery she-wolf with the smell that I can’t get out of my nose. It’s like I can still smell a little wisp of it everywhere. I have to get rid of these feelings, maybe when Summer returns everything will go back to normal. With that thought in mind, I headed to my office to grab the map of our community before heading to my room next to my office. I’ll go over the map once more before, I try to get some shut-eye and clear my head of the mystery she-wolf and her enticing smell. Time to get back to business.

Ji’lahni: POV  

         The alarm was blaring at me with an attitude. I groaned, throwing my pillow at it wanting it to stop. I was so tired from last night’s performance. It was a hit that had every female teary-eyed. The speech I gave before the performance really helped. I was super nervous up on that stage because as I said not everyone was welcoming. So that put a lot of pressure on us to make sure we gave one hundred and ten percent.  So, with a deep breath I walked on stage and stood in front of Momma Lateri.

             “First I would like to thank Miss Lateri for inviting me and my cousins to this wonderful event. Our performance is dedicated to you, because during the short time knowing you, you have been nothing but kind and loving. When you speak of the people in your community we could literally feel how much you love them.  I know that you’re willing to die for each and every person in your community. I can tell how much you cherish them individually and by the looks of it, you know every single person’s name including the staff. That shows just the type of person you are, and the love we see you and your mate has is something I one day wish to have with my future husband. So, with that said listen to the words of this song and allow us to express those words through dance.” As soon as I finished my speech Dangerously in love began to play.

            By the time we finished there wasn’t a dry eye in that place. Miss Lateri loved it so much she asked us if we could do it again some other night before we left. Afterwards we stayed for a little while longer but left because although we took a nap earlier, we were still exhausted from the trip and the performance. We got home and we crawled in bed. Peaking at the time it said ten am miss Lateri said she would be here at eleven a.m. to give us an official tour of the community. We had a meeting set up at five p.m. for the mating ceremony and Lynn said she won’t be able to make it for another couple of days, but she said we will be training today via zoom at two so we needed to get up. I rolled out of bed and headed for the kitchen to make some breakfast. I decided on something super easy and fast. I grabbed eggs bacon milk bread cinnamon for some French toast eggs and bacon. Once I had everything made I yelled upstairs for the girls to come down for breakfast.

        They came downstairs with their eyes closed. None of us were morning people, I mean we would sleep till noon if you let us. Hence why we started our own businesses. “What time is it five a.m. why are we up it should be against the law to be up this early.”  Shawna groaned  climbing into our highchair which she was struggling trying to do with her eyes closed.  “Girl it’s after ten and we need to be ready by eleven so momma Teri won’t have to wait on us.  I said, putting our plates on the island and started eating. “Ok, I’m kinda looking forward to seeing this place, did you see that damn near every man here is built like a sex God. Some look dangerous and some look playful in a devilish kind of way, I was definitely catching some, I want you vibes last night. So, I can’t wait to see how these men look in the daylight.” Mina said popping the last piece of French toast in her mouth.

        Getting up we made quick work of cleaning the kitchen then headed up stairs to have a quick shower. We were dressed in our workout clothes, which was a set of long yoga pants with a matching long sleeve top, and yes we had them in bold bright colors. You already know mine was black and purple, Shawna’s was black and green, and Mina was black and pink. We didn’t need a jacket; it was early April and our tops were long sleeves so we were good. We grabbed our waist trainer vests and headed downstairs just as the doorbell rang. “Oh, good my girls are ready. I see Lynn is making yall train today even when she isn’t here. Come on, we have a lot to see.

         Everyone is still buzzing and talking about the performance last time. I told you, yall had nothing to worry about” Lateri said as she approached a little golf cart that had three row seating. I spotted Shadow killer the moment we saw the cart, he wasn’t looking happy at all, but Shawna was all smiles. I had told her I think his initial reaction wasn’t rejection.  So now she was about to test that theory. She loves the chase, she said it was going to be fun, because she has a big man like that rattled. She hopped right in the front seat next to him, making sure she was real close to him. You could tell he wanted to bolt by the way his knuckles were turning white with how tight he was holding the steering wheel.

        Shawna giggled “Hey my big teddy bear, I’m glad you’re the one driving us around today. I feel so safe, protected, and what not. Why didn’t you come say hello last night.?” Shawna asked, looking up at him, inching even closer to him if that was even possible. Poor Shadow killer was barely able to get out that he was on guard and couldn’t socialize with the guest. Shawna shrugged and approved his excuse. “Well, I guess you will have to make it up to me today during our tour of the grounds.” She wrapped her arms around his big arms and snuggled in close.

        That man was about to break the steering wheel, which would mean we would have to walk, and I’m not trying to do that right now. “Shawna please stop teasing Shadow killer so we can start the tour.” I said trying to give that man a break. We all laughed, when Shadow took a deep breath, when Shawna let go of his arms and scooted away from him. I could have sworn I saw Shadow eyes glow for a split second when Shawna stopped touching him. It was like he was angry she let his arm go.

               That must have been the sun in his eyes because glowing eyes weren’t possible. Lateri showed us around the entire community stopping at various places to introduce us to everyone who we didn’t see last night. The community was actually like a small town in the middle of nowhere. They had schools, small boutiques,  a hair salon, a small diner, and a grocery store. Walking by their little kindergarten school there were kids running and playing and even little baby wolves. I found out they weren’t dogs but actually wolves. I felt kind of dumb because wolf Reserve was literally in the name. But all the wolves were tamed and not dangerous which was why none of them were on a leash. Lateri said. But I wasn’t too sure about that, and I wasn’t going to test that theory either. The big wolves didn’t even have to worry about me even looking at them hard. I already planned to not be anywhere near where they keep them. Nope I’m good. Seeing a baby wolf playing with the kids, jumping around trying to catch the kids, who had the little ball, he look sssssoooooo cute.

        We stop so Lateri could introduce us to the teacher because she wanted to meet us to tell us how great our performance was. “Hey Fiona, these are my babies Ji’lahni, Shawna, and Mina.” Lateri said like a proud parent. The teacher stepped up and shook each of our hands. “It’s so nice to finally meet you; our Luna talks about you girls all the time. She told us how talented and beautiful you were, and I must say she was right.” Fiona said just as a little black ball of fur came barreling towards us with his little tongue hanging out, he stopped right in front of me with his paws on my leg like he wanted me to pick him up and I oblige allergies be damn.

         “Razor!! Stopped that! Get off the nice lady’s leg!” the teacher said in a stern voice. “Aaawwweeee that’s Ok, he’s so cute OMG! Do you see him? He’s so tiny and cute.” I said as the little pup tried to climb all over me trying to lick me everywhere. I wasn’t about to let him lick my face cause we don’t play that. Mina and Shawna gushed over him, each trying to hold him like a baby, and he was enjoying our soft cuddly boobs. He was just laying between my boobs with his tongue out like he was about to fall asleep as we chatted it up with the teacher. We were about to leave after setting up a date to put some food on the grill later today at momma Terri’s house.

              The teacher reached for little Razor, but he wasn’t having it he started whining and using his nails to snag my top looking at me with his sad little eyes. “Hey Fiona, how about I just bring him back after I drop the girls off if he promised to be a good boy.” Lateri said, giving him the he better behave look. He bark in agreement then buried himself in the crock of my arm and snuggled there. “Ok Luna that is fine, I’ll be here waiting for him, Ms. Summer said she won’t be back until later today anyway.”  Fiona said waving bye to us as she rustled the kids back inside the school. “So, this is your almost daughter N laws pup.” I asked curiously. Rolling her eyes “No that is her cousins pup she just kept him after her cousin passed away a few months back she was such a sweet girl.” Lateri said sadly and little Razor whimpered a little like he knew we were talking about his momma. Which was impossible right? “Oh, my I’m so sorry for your loss.” I responded while Mina and Shawna both gave her side hugs. I looked down at the little pup and felt sorry for him, he was so tiny and cute.

         "Hey, you know what me and you are the same. I lost my momma to a while ago, so I completely understand how you feel buddy. I miss my mommy too.” I whispered to him holding back my tears that threaten to fall every time I think about my parents. I don’t dare cry because I was the oldest and had to be strong for my cousins. If I fall apart, they would too, and you don’t want to see three big girls ugly crying, because that is not cute. We rode back to the house to get ready for our zoom with Lynn for our two-hour torcher fest.

          Once we got there Lateri had the back yard padded so we could train, and a big projector screen set up for the zoom call, up and ready to go. I swear she is trying to spoil us, so we don’t want to leave in three weeks. We grabbed Lynn’s bag of goodies but took the guns out because we didn’t want to do target practice with the pup around. Lateri made him stay on the patio behind the gate. He whined a little bit when I walked to the padded area, but settled down when he realized he could see me when he stuck his head between the board of the gate.

         I hope he doesn’t get his head stuck. I smiled to myself. “Awe, look at him you might not be able to get rid of him. You will have to take six allergy shots a day if you try to keep him. He real life not trying to let you out of his sight, what have you done to that little puppy?” Shawna asked laughing. “I know what she did to get him hooked, he done laid on them soft boobs you got. You know men love some soft boobs and he a boy, so he’s hooked, he’s in love now.” Mina said laughing as she looked at little Raz. Yes, we gave him a nickname it sounded cooler.

       “Hhhheeeeyyyy bitches I miss yall. Yall ready for this training? We bout to put this work in, yall done missed almost two days, so we got some work to do.” Lynn said as soon as we logged in to our zoom meeting. “Hey boo, we miss you but not this damn training though. You need to hurry up and bring your ass on, you have to start building the arches, make sure everything is ordered, and delivered.” Mina said while we stretched. “Yes, I know, I promise I will be there by Wednesday at the latest. But for now, let’s get started.” Lynn said as she started with our stances, arm motions, kicks, balances, strength, flexibility, and endurance. We also worked on sweeping defense, offense, sweeping front, and back kicks. She had the nerve to try and have us do spinning kicks too.

           Yea I’m not doing that. I don’t know who she think we are but doing that wouldn’t end well for no one. So, once we reminded her on who she was dealing with. She decided for us to start our roll and strike lessons. Front rolls were first which after we got the hands right it was pretty easy to roll forward and strike front or back. Now that back roll was a disaster. She had to end the call before we did our crossbow and  throwing knives target practice. We saw a little small open area, that had trees close enough for us to do our target practice.

 I walked to the gate, when little Raz started barking. “Hey little one we’re just going to that wooded areas right over there. We will be right back ok? If miss Lateri comes looking fir us, just show her where we went ok?” I asked Raz, knowing damn well he didn’t understand a word I just said. I bet he was like I know she know I can’t understand her right. I had to jog to catch up with the girls, as we headed for the trees. It was a little farther then we thought, we couldn’t see the house, but we could see far enough to know we weren’t lost. Hanging up our target paper, we decided to do crossbow target practice first. We did defense, spin, pull and shoot.

 I was a beast with a crossbow, my aim was superb. What you thought big girls can’t use a crossbow to beat ass, we sure can I loved my crossbow. We did the front roll and shoot, which is a struggle for me because it was messing with my aim. Although I hit the target in the colored area, I’m a Virgo and a perfectionist. I can’t stand it when something I feel like I should be able to do doesn’t work out, it drives me nuts. After about fifteen rounds, the girls forced me to let it go. So, we could practice using our throwing knives.

         Walking over to our gear we strapped our knives to each thigh, each arm, and each wrist, then loaded our utility belts. I told you Lynn is a fat ninja or an assassin, sometimes it feels like she’s training us for something. Now we’re damn good during training, but our scary asses would be the first to die in real life. You can’t change us on the inside, we could only pray that we wouldn’t freeze and die. We’re laughing and cutting up as usual then we hear a loud ass growl, hell no, that sounded like a roar. That shit vibrated through the ground.

           We immediately stopped laughing. “What the hell was that?” Mina asked. Looking around not seeing anything. “I don’t know, and I’m not going to fuck around and find out either. So how about we grab Lynn’s bag, leave them targets on them trees, and get the hell to the damn house.” I said, trying to pack Lynn’s bag fast. The roars and growls were getting louder and louder. We could hear something that sounded like animals were fighting nearby. “Shit! Did the wolves get loose or something? Because they don’t sound like their tamed at all right now. I thought Lateri said they were harmless.” Shawna said shaking like a leaf and dropping shit out the bags that we were putting in it.

       

          “Listen, I didn’t believe that bullshit when she said it. They’re animals, they may look tame, but they’re killers too, now let’s get the hell outta these damn woods.” I said standing up making a beeline for the house. I could hear paws stomping the ground, they were too damn close to us, my heart is about to beat out my damn chest. We started to see the house come into view, when all of a sudden I see. "Is that little Raz running towards us barking like crazy?” Mina said before I finished the thought.

            “Oh shit, that’s a fucking wolf coming from the right, blocking our straight shot to the damn house.” Shawna yelled “Ooohhh shit, we’re about to die. I told yall we was gonna die in these woods. Oh shit! It’s two more coming from the fucking left side too.” Mina cried … “Oh my God, oh my God, were about to die lord Jesus. Where is Shadow killer when you need him.” I said, about to break down just like Mina and Shawna were. Just then Little Raz lost his damn lil wolf mind and made a beeline straight for the big nasty looking brown wolf. His fur was matted, and he had a crazed feral look in his eyes. He didn’t look anything like the ones we’ve been seeing on this Reserve so far.

         The wolf turned his head towards Raz who was heading his way. He cocked his head as if to ask, really son? You real life think you can protect these women from me? It looked like he almost smiled evilly. I could tell he was about to have an appetizer, before he had us as a buffet for him and his friends. Shit! Lynn if I die today, I’m going to be real fucking mad at you for torturing us for years, just for us to die in a wolf fight. I Thought to myself. “Raz, get your ass back to the house god damnit! I swear if you get eaten, I’m gonna spank your little wolf ass!” I yelled and started running toward Raz. I hear Mina and Shawna yelling at me, calling me all kinds of crazy bitches. I swear big people run in slow motion in real life. I knew I wouldn’t be able to reach Raz before the wolf, so I pulled my crossbow out and prayed that I didn’t miss. I knew Mina and Shawna would follow suit and would try to take down the other two wolves. Yea we about to die for sure because we’re not fucking superheroes.
