Chapter 5 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 to get out thinking he could find that delicious watermelon smell from earlier. I could barely keep my focus 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. 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 the dinner earlier and I really wanted to sample the food she picked for the human women it smelled so good and from the empty plates I see it tasted good to. But I missed it so now I have to pop a frozen pizza in the oven tonight when I get home." Montego said sadly. But I hardly cared at the moment and mother would more than likely have leftovers for us if we had the courage to face her since we missed the dinner but I for one not going to see my mother until it is absolutely unavoidable. Yes, I'm the alpha who still fears his mother.

Just then the phone rang pulling me from my futile search. Looking at the phone Summer's face pops up on my screen I groaned not really wanting to deal with her at the moment because I feel instant guilt but don't want to stop my search. Sighing, I gave up heading for the exit with Montego smiling, finally happy that he no longer had to 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 and make sure that she wasn't 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 made at me. We just started getting along and I don't want to ruin 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 been done thousands of years ago. But I love her and want to make her happy. Sighing

"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. But she isn't upset at all she has her human women to occupy her. But you really need to start Luna training as soon as you get back. You only have three weeks left before the mating ceremony and you become Luna you need to be ready to take on the role babe." I finished making sure she understood what's expected after the mating. 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. So, the human women actually came I wasn't hoping they drop out. I guess I'll see how they plan to organize our mating ceremony. Although I don't like the idea of humans 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 degust.

"I wouldn't hold my breathe on that one because mother loves those human women, she calls them her chocolate drips. So just be civil don't start any drama or trouble and you and mom 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 and 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 daze for days afterwards. But now me and my wolf seems 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 with the 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." Montego Still walking beside me back to my office. It was 12am and we had an early pack meeting to inform our warriors of the new guard schedule and tell them what we have found out about these attacks. "So, we're done with the search of the missing delicious she-wolf that has you chasing your tail?" Montego asked walking up beside me.

"Yea for now we have far more important things 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 and you ordered to help." Montego said, turning pale at the thought of dealing with my mother. "Oh, so you're willing to abandon your alpha you have sworn to protect?" I asked. "You damn right especially when it come to our Luna, and 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 6am." He yelled as he disappeared down the street.

Sighing now I'm left with my thoughts that immediately goes back to the mystery of she-wolf with the smell that I can't get out of my nose now that I have smelled it. It's like I can still smell 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 said I headed to my office to grab the map of our community and head to my house 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 all thing mystery she-wolf and her enticing smell. Time to get back to business.

Ji'lahni: POV

Alarm 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 110%. 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 performances is dedicated to you because during the short time knowing you, you have been nothing but kind and loving and when you speak of the people in your community we could literally feel how much you love them and is willing to die for each and every person in your community and how much you cherish them individually and by the looks of it you knew every single person's name including the staff and 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."
