Ji'lahni's POV:
Mina! "Where the hell are we? We're in the middle of nowhere." I yelled. "We're about to come up missing out here in these damn woods!" Shawna whined from the back seat. "Ji'lahni I swear this is where the address you gave me took us to. I followed it exactly as that G****e lady told me." Mina said looking confused and a little scared. We have been driving since four this morning and it was now almost seven pm and we still haven't made it to the Crystal Wolf Lake Reserve. I'm pretty sure that my legs are numb and my ass died four hours ago.
We were supposed to be performing for a mating anniversary and also planning something they called a mating ceremony for our good friend Lateri Crystal. She took our dance class to Spruce up her love life six months ago. She was sixty years old, but she had aged beautifully, she looked at least forty-five. She had long beautiful, curly brown hair, hazel eyes that changed color whenever she was excited or happy. We noticed that whenever she got a tough dance move, or a compliment when she remembered the choreography, her eyes would change color. She had beautiful tanned skinned, it was almost like it had a golden glow, like an Egyptian goddess.
We became her instant daughters; she called us every Wednesday night at the same time and we would talk for hours. She really has become important to us since we are all the family we had. Our parents died in an accidental fire during Christmas seven years ago. Mina was sixteen, me and Shawna were eighteen and we have been together ever since. It's weird that they call it a mating ceremony instead of just saying a wedding, but oh well, with the money they're paying us they can call it whatever the hell they want.
Me and my cousins were the owners and operators of JMS Wedding planning and also owners of JMS dance studio for BBW women like us. We mostly dance to sexy sensual, hip-hop, r&b, and even some pop music. We each had our specialty. Mina was hip hop r&b; Shawna was r&b and pop and I do sensual and r&b. We also added self-defense classes with our best friend Lynn, who is a bad ass at everything crossbow, shooting, sword, and martial art. She's BBW as well, we met her in college, and we have been inseparable ever since. She has also been training us for the past five years, yes we can do it all. We have to work twice as hard, and we have our limits, but we always said work smarter not harder.
So, we had to learn how to use our skills differently. We train every day and although we're not as good as Lynn, but please UNDERSTAND we can damn sure make her ass stumble. That's saying a lot since she was black and Asian and has been training since she came out of the womb. She would have been with us in these damn woods, but she had family stuff, so she won't get here until tomorrow. But we do have her toys in the trunk just in case we have to fuck some shit up out here. We're supposed to be staying here for the next three weeks until the wedding, because we live so far away, it made sense for us to just stay until after the mating ceremony. They paid us so well that we would have stayed longer if they asked.
The bride is Lateri's soon to be daughter-n-law which I don't think she likes her all that well. While she was taking our class, she would roll her eyes at the mention of her daughter-n-law. Come to think of it, I don't think she told us that woman’s name until she asked us to do the mating ceremony. But she loved her son and talked about Makahi Crystal every single time we talked. She said it was time that he settled down and started a family. Since him and the name we cannot mention have been dating for three years, it was time they sealed the deal, even if she don't like her "uppity ass." Her words not mine.
She was hoping that he would find his Luna, she called it, don't ask me what that means because I don't know. But giving this is a Mating ceremony, I just chucked it up to, it must be a cultural thing. She seemed like an earthy type person who walks barefoot outside, preferred sleeping outside on the ground, and living off the land so to speak. Far different from our southern asses. Don't get me wrong we're country and definitely know how to farm, cook, garden, and build things to survive. We learned that from our grandparents and parents, but that was a different time for them. Even though we lived that way back then, we have also evolved as well. So, we not doing none of that survival shit, unless we have to, like an apocalypse or some shit.
About three months ago Lateri called me and asked that we do her son's wedding, sorry mating, and performed for her anniversary. We essentially declined, due to the fact that she was halfway across the country in a place that we have never even heard of, and we would be losing money if we tried to plan that at our rates. But she wouldn't take no for an answer and offered us damn near what we would make in a year. So here we are, we flew as far as we could and rented a car to travel the rest of the way, which is where we are at the present time lost as hell. "Look, pull over so we can get Lynn's guns out the trunk, because it's getting dark. I'll be scared as hell even with a gun, but hopefully fear will make me pull the trigger. Because being mauled by a bear or a damn mountain lion, won’t be fun at all. That would be some fucked up shit ,for three black women to be killed in the damn woods. You know damn well black folks don't do the woods at night, hell not even in the day if we think big ass animals are in them.
Mina pulled over and I hopped out to get Lynn's bags. "And get the knives too we gone be tomb raider out here." Shawna said. Mina looks at Shawna through the rear-view mirror frowning. "And what the hell you gone do with them knives? Yea you know how to use them, but you know damn well you hate violence of any kind." Mina teased. Shawna hated conflict she was quiet, reserved, avoided arguing, and drama. Mina on the other hand was smart mouthed and could back it up. As for me, I observe and speak only when spoken to, you get the same energy you give me. I don’t like to fight but I will if you cross the line, and we always protect each other no matter what. Getting back in the car handing Shawna the bag of goodies.
"Here, I just got the whole bag. I wasn’t standing out there all that long time, trying to find that stuff.” I said, closing the car door. " Damn this shit is heavy, I can see right now that Lynn is planning on working our asses to death. I thought we would catch a small break for three weeks, but she damn near brought everything she has in her studio." Shawna sighed heavily. "You already knew Lynn wasn’t giving us no damn break. You remember what happened last year when we took a week off to vacation in the Bahamas. We damn near died when we got back in the studio, because our dumb asses tried to do our classes, then turned around and tried to do hers." I shuddered at the remembered pain in every part of my body, fingernails included. We literally crawled into our apartment every day for two weeks straight. I feel like at least two of those nights, we just slept at the front door until after two am.
Another half hour had me dozing off. I was exhausted because we have literally been up for three days straight: prepping, planning, and organizing for this trip. "Hey look, I think I see something, it looks like some kind of guard shack." Mina said tapping me on the shoulder. I hopped up on full alert praying that we had finally made it. "Thank God I hope we're in the right place or they can tell us where to go.” Shawna said, zipping the weapons back up only halfway, just in case we needed to move quick if whoever this is tried to kidnap us. I don’t blame her because you never know in these damn woods, but here we fucking go. I don't know why but I feel like this is about to be some weird shit we're not use to. I hope we're not walking into some type of hippy weird shit where folks walk around with their ass, titties, and dicks out. Like the people who just be having sex with any and everybody. I may be open minded and respect people's culture but don't think I'm joining in none of that shit. Now Mina and Shawna would definitely consider joining, because them some damn horny Bitches, but anyway, here goes nothing.

Makahi: POV KAHI! Are you even listening?! My mother yelled so loud on the phone that even my Beta Montego flinched. Sighing, "Yes mother I heard you but I told you I have a call with the other alphas in this region because of the recent rogue attacks. We're trying to figure out if their growing in numbers and are planning an even bigger attack. I asked you to postpone the ceremony until we have this thing sorted out." I growled into the phone, not happy at all that I couldn't get her to change her mind about inviting human women to our pack lands. They are far too weak to protect themselves if the pack was attacked. I also have to command all unmated males to not touch them, and make sure the children don't shift in front of them. God forbid if they saw one of us shift into a Wolf that would be a nightmare to clean up. There were some humans that knew about wolf shifter, but it was mostly those who do business with us or had a run in with a random rogue. But for the
Ji'lahni: POV "So, what's taking this dude so long to come over here? I know damn well he see us, I'm ready to get outta this car, take a hot shower, and take a nap before this party starts." I said loud enough hoping the tall bodybuilder security guard heard me. "Oh my God, do you see him? That man is sexy as hell, I bet he got a girlfriend though." Shawna said from the backseat, leaning on the window, like she was about to lick the damn window, trying to catch his eye. "You can have him; I don't like light skinned dudes and he looks scary as hell. He look like he will hurt you in and out of the bedroom." Mina said shaking her head and shuddering at the image that obviously popped into her head. "How about let's get inside the gate before you start eye fucking the guard. You know what scratch that, definitely eye fuck him hard, until he sees you so we can get in there. I'm about to blow the damn horn, if he don’t hurry the hell up and come over here." I said getting pissed of
Makahi: POV "So we need to increase our men at the borders, send two scouts to do recon in the area Alpha Terrain told us about, and we’ll be on a soft lock down for now. All women and children will have one hour a day outside, with at least two of our men monitoring them. Make sure they stay away from the wooded areas for now." I reviewed the new safety guidelines to Montego as we were planning and scheduling how to best handle these rogue wolves. It was obvious that they had banded together to attack several packs. The other alphas sounded pissed and unsettled by how organized their attacks were. They seem to have a leader controlling them. So, I wasn’t going to take this new threat lightly. A brief knock on the door interrupted us for a moment, “Enter." I said still looking at the map on my desk trying to figure out the best position to put our men. We need them to cover the entire pack land and borders. Hunter and Shadow enters my office and waited for me to acknowledge
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.
Makahi POV:"ROGUES SPOTTED AT THE EAST BORDERS!" Blaze mind linked the pack! "Shit how many?" I asked running out of the office towards the east border, taking my shirt off as I ran. I had no time to discard my pants, so they will just get shredded when I shift. "Looks like maybe fifteen or more." Blaze responded. "Hunter make sure all the women and children are in the safe houses.” “Copy that.” Hunter responded. "I need at least five guards on each border NOW, to make sure there is no more waiting to attack. “Everyone else at the east border.” I yelled cutting off the mind link. As I approached, I see Shadow grabbing a rogue wolf by its neck and snapped it like it was nothing, he hadn't even shifted yet. Wait, what the hell is he doing here, and not on the west with the human women. Just before I could ask, I see my mother running toward me frantically. "Mom why aren't you in one of the safe houses? Where are the human women?" I asked opening up my mind link again, as I b
Makahi’s POV: continued From outside, I hear shouting right before I see little Razor burst through the door, with Montego hot on his heels. He had shifted back to the little grey eyed boy. For a six-year-old he was pretty smart and fast from the looks of Montego, who look like he just ran a marathon. “What's going on?” I asked looking between him, and Montego as Razor stood next to my chair. "That little shit hit me and ran in here, he wanted to see the human and I told him no." Montego said angrily pointing at Razor who was looking guilty. "I just wanted to make sure Walahni was Ok.” He said, looking over at her with worry in his eyes. "She's gonna be just fine; the doctor is fixing her up now. Why don't you go back out with Montego, and I'll come get you once the doc is finished ok." "Noooo can I please stay for a wittle while?" Razor cried Looking at me whimpering. I couldn't fault him for wanting to be near her because I felt the same way. "OK you can stay for a few
Ji'lahni POV: What the hell is that beeping, and why the hell is it so damn loud? I groaned, opening my eyes slowly, but quickly shut them because the bright lights were blinding me. It felt like someone was drilling a hole in my head. Shit, I'm hurting everywhere, what the hell is going on? After a few seconds I was finally able to open my eyes wide enough to look around and see that I was in a hospital. But I can't remember why; judging by the pain I'm feeling literally everywhere; it’s safe to say that I got fucked up. I groaned when I tried to sit up to see if I can call or find someone to tell me what happened, but my left arm was killing me. I could barely move it without the pain almost making me pass out. "Hey, hey, don't move. Do you know who you are, or where you're at?" The stranger asked whispering. Where the hell did, he come from? Was he there the whole time? He pushed me back on the pillow, and I allowed him. I was too weak to do anything else but let him.
Makahi POV : "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOURE DOING?" I growled as I squeezed Summer's throat, fighting with my wolf to not crush her throat for hurting our mate. Realizing she couldn't answer I let her go and she dropped to the ground in a heap on the floor. With Everyone watching she immediately got up with anger in her eyes. "What do you mean what am I doing what was she doing why was she touching you why were you so close to her. What the hell is going on Kahi." Summer raged in a loud whisper. Sighing I really didn't want to deal with this now. Honestly, I couldn't tell her anything while I'm still not sure what is going on myself. Trying to defuse the situation. "Summer I told you the doctor said she has a really bad concussion and loud noises cause her severe pain and it will be that way until we get her medication. She had just woken up and I had to lean into whisper to her without hurting her. I said leaving out the we almost kissed part.
