Chapter 7 Unseen Dangers

Koa's Pov

He texted me.

And he was upset that I hadn't responded. Truly I hadn't expected to hear from him. From the way our conversation went last night, I thought it best to give him space. Time to recover. It had only been met that day.

But when he stood in front of me, pouting. His arms were crossed and his big eyes filled with so much emotion. I couldn't help the feeling that rose in my chest. He doesn't even realize it yet but he can't get enough of me. Looks like I will have him sooner than I think.

I not only made sure that his calls and text would notify me at all times, but I pinned his text thread in my messages.

It wasn't until he was leaving I remembered the reason I made him stay behind. My goddess, I remembered. At some point, he would learn to not test me. But right now it was needed. I understood. He was used to being in control, being dominant. But unfortunately, that is not what the moon goddess saw fit anymore.

I might be stone cold on the outside but on the inside, I was furious as I watched it unfold. It looked, unnatural even. Having someone so small under his arms, looking up to kiss him. When he should be under my arms, looking up to kiss me.

When it came to Valentino it was hard to stay calm. It had only been two days but I thought about him constantly. He's never left my mind, even in my dreams last night. Even though it wasn't much of a dream, more a memory. Of me leaning over him in the hallway. His big doe eyes look up at me. Being able to smell him so closely. My hand grazed his ass to get his phone. Now that was all Alister.

'You're welcome.' He said as he puffed out his chest in pride.

I wish I had the courage to give it a firm grab. But I know it was too soon. And if I had...who knows what would have happened. Actually, I do know. I would have opened his room door. Thrown him on the bed. Ripped his clothes off. Licked him. Bit him. Marked him. Fuc---

"Can you stop!" Khelani's voice rang through my ears and pulled me out of my thoughts. In walked all three of my sisters with their lunches. They all sat around my desk, but I noticed Kona was messing with Khelani which caused her to scream.

"Koa, tell Kona to stop bothering me. And go bother her stupid mate." She rolled her eyes and came and sat next to me.

"If you're going to be in here, then be nice to each other okay?" My voice was stern as I looked at them. Though I knew Khelani didn't mean it, she was just a young angsty teen going through puberty.

"How is your mate? What's his name?" Kendall spoke in between bites.

"His name is Vincent and he is doing fine I guess." Her face hung low as she spoke.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know, we like talked today. But like he was stuttering and stuff but was being so vague and stuff. And we talked at dinner and like it was really well--"

"I'm going to stop you right there. Unless you can form a coherent thought. I don't want to hear you talk." Khelani spat out and caused a chuckle out of me. Kona wasn't the best at talking, like the rest of us. Mother and Father raised us to be clear in our speech, unfortunately, Kona didn't catch on.

"Whatever guys. He's fine. We're fine. We are texting, so leave me alone." She huffed and rolled her eyes.

"How is your mate?" Kendall asked, switching her attention to me.

"Wonderful. Perfect. Beautiful. What more would you like to know?" I smirked at them.

When I was with my sisters I was able to let my walls down and express myself in a way that I couldn't with others. They were my safe place. I loved them.

"No more, please. You're going to make me throw up." Khelani threw out.

"You'll understand one day," I told her truthfully. I knew deep down her 'rudeness' was coming from a place of being the youngest and feeling left out. I'd have to have a real talk with her about it one day.

My phone started ringing and I grabbed it confused. Was Valentino calling me? No, he was at lunch with his friends. When I looked at it a small smile covered my face as the name flashed.

'What's up, meathead.'

'Alcander, good to hear from you!'

Alcander had been my closest friend since birth. Seriously. We were born just hours apart. Me being the oldest of course. Since we relocated the pack for the time being he ended up getting a job in town and has been working non-stop. I didn't take it personally, I know how life gets, but I did miss him. He was also one of the very few people I was able to be myself around.

'Work had finally died down and I want to see my bud. What are you doing tonight? We must catch up! It's Friday!'

We were the complete opposite. Where I was reserved and more on the conservative side, he was loud and expressive. He laughed hard, he lived loud. I admired him for it.

'Sure, I have no papers to grade. What do you have in mind?'

'There is this arcade center in town, that's like half bowling, half arcades, half laser tag, and there, of course, is a bar.' I chuckled at that.

'Yes, that sounds fun.'

'BETTTT my nig-'

'Alcander...language.'

'What? I'm black, and your mom is black, which makes you half.' He sighed.

I never was a fan of using that term. I understood the reasoning behind it, but because I looked more like my white father than my black mother, therefore it was best if I kept it out of my vocabulary altogether. But I can't say the same for my sisters and my mother's side of the family. They were a real treat.

'Alcander...'

'Okay fine, whatever. Aye, listen I need you to be my wingman tonight okay? I'm trying to get a baddie tonight. So you gotta talk to the other one.'

'As much as I would love to do that--' Before I could finish he cut me off.

'Sorry man, I gotta go. Work is calling. But I will see you tonight.'

My sisters were all staring watching me, I know they heard the conversation. Alcander had yet to find his mate yet, we were both in it together. We found comfort in each other knowing that neither of us had found them.

"He is going to be pissed," Kendall said, I already knew what she meant.

I know Alcander felt behind in this. We had many conversations about it and how he felt lonely. I didn't want him to think I was leaving him. But it wasn't the case, of course, I just hope he saw it that way.

"Have him come by the house, Mom would love to see him."

I nodded in understanding as I watched the girls carry in their conversation.

"My head is hurting again." Kona winced and leaned forward.

She had these migraines that would come on. They have been a lot more recently, causing her and her Lycan a lot of pain. Mother said it was because of our genetics, and our bond to the moon goddess. It seems Kona and I have a stronger connection than anyone else in our bloodline. When Kona gets those aches she is in direct contact with the goddess herself. Same when I dream and something from my dreams come true. Mother says I was blessed with being a seer. Whatever that means.

Though it was all tale, at least to us. But others... believed it. They wanted what we had. The connection to the goddess. It made us not only stronger than werewolves but so much stronger than Lycans.

"Maybe just ask what she wants to tell you instead of fighting it." Kendall shrugged and put her hand soothingly on her twin's back.

"I've tried that, mama says I have to do it a certain way. But she won't tell me how."

"It's probably because someone is trying to kill you, and she doesn't want them to find you." Khelani blurted out which caused us to look at her. "What? I'm not stupid. I know what is going on. I know the reason we are here is because of that stupid rogue lycan."

I let out a deep sigh and ran my hands down my face. She was right. There was a rogue lycan, something that had never been seen before. He was the Alpha of many rogue werewolves and they all desired the same thing. The connection and power given from the goddess. They wanted to rule over everyone. To be the King. A practice that was ended hundreds of years ago.

He looked for us, Kona and I. I believe that is another reason why mother has kept her words vague when it came to what 'powers' my sister and I had. As to not draw attention to ourselves. Anymore than we already do.

That was the main reason why my father had agreed to relocate our pack. Under other circumstances he would have said no. But the increase of rogues in the area is borderline our fault.

"I don't mean to be a bitch okay? I obviously don't want anything to happen to you guys." Khelani scoffed out, still with attitude on her tongue. But this was the closest thing we will get to her being sweet. "Plus we all know what happens if he does find you, and I don't want that." That made my heart ache at the thought.

"We have nothing to worry about, we are safe here." I told them reasuringinly but I couldn't help the nagging feeling in the back of my head.

The rest of lunch my sisters ate chatting about girl stuff, and I just sat back and watched. Which happened in most conversations we had.

I had to fight the urge to scowl, I don't know why but I was overly anxious about tonight. It just felt like something bad was going to happen.
