Mrs. Carrol

Shirley

Clarissa is one of most women in this town who love to gossip. I listen when people talk, but I don't participate much. I do not gossip, and I do not like drama. As soon as Clarissa begins talking about Jezebel, I want her to shut up. The woman can TALK. She talks fast, barely pausing for breath, and everyone else can barely get a word in. I knew Jezebel could hear her. Wolves have heightened senses. I did not, however, expect to see her suddenly appear out of nowhere behind Clarissa. She is stealthier than any wolf I have ever met.

I am aware of her presence and was listening for her. I never heard her coming, and that put me on edge a little. I am expecting her to confront Clarissa. I can see that she is fuming. Once again, though, she surprises me. She kills Clarissa with kindness and leaves to wait for Jedd in his hummer.

"Oh my god!" giggles Clarissa. "That was so awkward! Why didn't you tell me she was in here? I asked you if you had met her yet!"

"Yeah, you did. But instead of giving me time to answer, you just kept blabbing!" I say defensively.

"Whatever. Did you see her luscious hair? I am so jealous!She is beautiful, although her eyes are a bit weird," she says. It's a snide remark.

"I think her eyes are unique and gorgeous!" I say. Clarissa can really irritate me sometimes. She irritates everyone, even Drew. Lucky for her, she is his mate, and he loves her. If it weren't for the Moon Goddess, Clarissa would likely never have found a mate. I know it may be horrible to say, but it is the truth. If you ever met her, you'd understand! After about 10 more minutes of Clarissa's rambling, I have had my fill and decide to break up the "man talk" going on in the back of the store. As I enter, I can hear my husband and Jedd roaring in laughter. Drew must have said something funny. He is always making jokes.

"Sorry to interrupt boys," I say, kissing my husband on the cheek and cuddling into him. "It is time you break up this little soiree you are having. Jezebel has finished her shopping and is waiting for you in your hummer, Jedd. Here is your receipt."

"Alright. I better get out there before she presses the wrong button," says Jedd. He hands me a fifty and heads back to the front of the store.

"Clarissa's getting on your nerves, huh?" Drew asks teasingly.

"Nah," I say, rolling my eyes in sarcasm. We all laugh.

"What is everyone laughing about? I'm glad y'all are having so much fun while I was left up front, alone," Clarissa says dramatically.

"Sorry baby," Drew says, giving her a quick peck on the lips. We all know she heard why we were laughing.

"You ready to go get something to eat?" he asks her.

"Yes," she responds enthusiastically.

"See you both Saturday," they both say in unison.

"See you Saturday," I say, and Bill waves. After they leave, I turn to Bill and smile.

"Jedd's niece has a good aura. She is special. Something big is about to happen, I can feel it."

"You would know," Bill says, grinning.

Bill and I have been together for 76 years. He is a tall, lanky man with small muscles. He is often underestimated, but he is very strong and fast. Even in his old age, he could still take on a few young wolves and come out victorious. His hair is salt and peppered, and he has gold brown eyes. He keeps his face clean shaven, always has. He is old-fashioned and loves to wear suits.

"You ready to close up soon?" I ask.

" Yeah, I can finish inventory tomorrow. I am ready to get home and eat some of that fried chicken you made earlier today," he says, licking his lips.

I smile. "Of course you are. I love you."

"I love you too," Bill says as he pulls me into a tight embrace, nibbling my neck. I gasp and instantly become aroused. Even after all this time, we still have an amazing sex life.

"I want you," he growls.

"Then take me," I beg.

He bends me over and hikes up my skirt, tearing my lacy underwear off of me. I moan in anticipation, aching for him to enter me. He does, and it is pure ecstasy! He thrusts and pounds, fucking me so good. He brings his hands around to massage my breasts. He sucks on my neck and pinches my nipples. I cum intensely at the sound of him cumming inside of me. He growls possessively. Oh, how I love this fucking man!

We clean ourselves up in the shop bathroom, before locking up. The commute home is short so we walk most days. I finish preparing dinner, we eat, and then Bill helps me clean up. We watch a movie together and then get ready for bed. It doesn't take us long to drift off to sleep.

I begin dreaming of peace. The war has finally ended and all packs serve one Great Alpha. A large magnificent black wolf with shimmers of white that shine like diamonds. One emerald green eye and one ocean blue eye...I know those eyes! I sit up in complete shock! A great Alpha is coming and it is her....Jedd's niece.....Jezebel! What the fuck?
