A Beauty to His Beast 2: An Urban Werewolf Story (4 page)

“Where are you taking me? And why do you have me blocked from your mind?” I asked Goon.

“Have I ever told you how nosey you are? It’s a surprise. Now sit back and wait for it,” he spat, getting annoyed.

“I don’t like surprises,” I laughed.

“Me neither. If I knew you would be this annoying about it, I wouldn’t be trying to surprise you,” he chuckled.

I rode in the passenger seat with a pair of blindfolds on. We have been driving for quite some time. Well, I thought it was a long time, but the truth was I just really wanted to know what Goon had in store for me. He has been really busy this past week; he has also been blocking me from his thoughts a lot. He was up to something, and I couldn’t wait to find out.

The truck came to a stop. Goon opened up the door, pulling me out. He grabbed my hand and wrapped his other arm around my hip to keep me from falling as we started walking.

“Is this some type of freaky foreplay?” I asked Goon.

“If you want it to be. I’m addicted to your pussy,” he said. I heard the sounds of keys jingling. Moments later, my heels were clicking on what sounded like marble floors.

“Okay, take the blindfolds off,” Goon said to me. I hurriedly took them off. I was standing in a large building with pretty white marble floors. There were a few chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings. There were empty showcase glasses displayed all around the large area. I was confused.

“This is a very nice place, but help me understand,” I said, looking up into his handsome face.

“This is your jewelry store. You always said you wanted to own your own business. I have been feeling guilty about the way you had to adapt to being my mate. I want you to still feel normal.”

Words couldn’t explain how much I loved him. The love was so strong that it felt like I had loved him for years. In just a short amount of time, I met my soul mate and gave him pups. At times I felt like I was stuck in a dream; I felt like I was living in some fairy tale. I was a beast. I was Goon’s beast, and I didn’t want it any other way. When I first found out who I really was, I couldn’t accept it, but now I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I fall in love with your more and more every day. This is so beautiful,” I said, still surprised.

Goon kissed my lips. “I know you do because I feel the same way. How you feel now is how I felt when you birthed my pups. It was beautiful, although the sight of you giving birth made my stomach turn,” he said.

I playfully mushed him. “You just had to ruin my moment,” I said. I looked around the spacious store. It looked upscale, almost too rich.

“Goon, what kind of jewelry will I be selling here? This place almost looks like an art museum.”

He smirked. “Egyptian jewelry, real gold and gems. We have a lot of it locked away. They are worth a lot of money in this day and age. We also have jewelry from other places we have traveled to over the centuries. Let me worry about everything.”

Would I embarrass myself if I broke out into doing the cabbage patch
, I thought to myself. Then Goon laughed.

“Nobody does that anymore. All the women do a dance called twerking now,” Goon said, surprisingly.

“How do you know about that?”

“I know everything. I’m old in years, but I’m still young,” he laughed.

Goon locked up the store. On the outside, my store looked like a warehouse. I loved it. It was one of those buildings that will have you curious about what’s on the inside. On our way home, I was thinking about what to name my store.

“I want Amadi to sell some of his oils in the store. I want him to have his own section. This will be great! I can see it now,” I said, excitedly.

“Amadi doesn’t really like to be around humans much. Every once in a while he would come out with Izra and I. I will let you talk to him about that,” Goon said.

“What do you think we should name the store?” I asked Goon, as he punched in the code on the gate to the mansion.

“Beastly Treasures, that’s what I nicknamed your pussy,” he roared into laughter.

“Even though you are being an asshole right now, I actually like that,” I said, rolling my eyes. When we walked into the house, Elle came down the stairs looking exhausted, holding the twins in his arms.

“Thank the gods you two are back. These pups are a handful. Remind me to beg the gods to take me into their world when the twins start shifting,” Elle said, giving me my babies.

“My babies aren’t a handful,” I said, growling.

“Bro, please don’t piss her off. Her beast has been on good behavior.” Goon warned Elle; then they started laughing. I headed towards the kitchen. It was hard at times living with cocky men who were beasts. The doorbell rang. “Goon, get the door. It’s Adika!” I shouted out.

Adika texted me minutes before I came home to tell me that she was coming over for dinner. She and Izra were still on their fall out. Adika walked into the kitchen humming. “Wow, you are happy today. Did you and Izra make up?” I asked her.

“No, we didn’t. I actually met someone else.”

“Come again?” I said to her. She reached out for Akea, and he started crying. “That’s weird. He usually likes when you hold him,” I said looking at her. Goon walked into the kitchen.

“What’s wrong with him?” Goon asked.

“I don’t know. I can’t feel what’s wrong with him yet. It bothers me that I still can’t feel their feelings.” Goon took Akea away from Adika, and then walked back out of the kitchen.

“He is a very protective father. I always wanted a family,” she said.

“It will come; you just have to be patient. Izra would be a good father. I can see him now.”

“Izra is still a young wolf. He can’t get me pregnant any time soon. He hasn’t reached that peek yet.”

“So, he’s shooting blanks?” I asked her.

“Yup, until it’s his time to mate.”

Amadi came into the kitchen. “Izra has reached his peek. That’s why he bit you. When a male wolf has an urge to bite his mate, that means he is marking her to get her pregnant when its time,” Amadi butted in.

“WHAT!” Adika screamed.

“Izra marked you so when his time comes, you will give him pups,” Amadi said.

“I shouldn’t had screwed that bastard,” Adika mumbled. Izra must have pissed Adika off because she always wanted a family. She sounded as if she regretted Izra.

Izra came into the house with his motorcycle gear on and walked past Adika. He took a pitcher of water out of the fridge then guzzled it down.

He sniffed the air. “I guess this is one of your spells, huh? Change your scent so I won’t bother you. I really made you that mad?” Izra asked her.

“Don’t flatter yourself punk,” Adika spat.

“Bitch,” Izra spat, walking out of the kitchen.

I gave Kanye to Amadi so Goon could bathe him while Adika and I chatted.

“Goon bought me a store,” I said, cheerfully.

“Oh really?” she asked, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

“Why are you acting like a bitch? You been acting weird since you came in. You disrespected Izra, and now you are trying to disrespect me,” I said to her. My beast wanted to attack her. I felt a ball of rage build up inside of me. I could feel my body trying to shift. Lately, I have been having these angry spells. The slightest thing ticked me off. Adika smirked at me. “Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just in a funk. Continue on,” she said, waving me off.

“What’s bothering you?” I asked her.

“Nothing, I’m cool.”

“Who is this new man?”

“Oh, nobody. Just someone I screw whenever I want. He is my little secret,” she laughed.

Elle walked into the kitchen reading a piece of paper; he must have just checked the mail.

“What’s that?” I asked Elle.

“A letter from Dayo. He’s left the pack. He feels like you have ruined it, and he wants no part of it. We have been a pack for one hundred-plus years, and we never been apart. We are built in tradition. I don’t know what to do,” Elle said, sadly.

“Well, he was isolated anyway. I barely saw him when I came over, so it was only a matter of time,” Adika said.

“This doesn’t concern you. You are not a part of this pack so don’t speak on it. We have some things to discuss within this pack, so get the fuck out!” Elle roared. I have never seen Elle upset. He was like the uncle of the pack. Adika grabbed her purse then stormed out of the house.

“That was rude,” I said to Elle.

“I don’t give a damn, Kanya. This is a serious matter. You don’t know what it’s like for a wolf to be a loner. There is another pack in this town. If they get wind of Dayo, he is doomed,” Elle said. Goon, Amadi, and Izra came downstairs. They all had a bond; they knew when one out of the pack was upset.

“What’s going on?” Amadi asked Elle. Elle handed Amadi the letter from Dayo.

“He left because of Kanya?” Amadi asked. I started to feel guilty because I broke up something that they had for years. Tears welled up in my eyes. “I didn’t mean to do it,” I said.

“Maybe you should’ve made him more comfortable,” Elle said to me.

“Speak to me, Elle, when I’m in my mate’s presence. You know the rules,” Goon said to Elle.

“I get that she is your mate, but shit wasn’t supposed to be like this. It’s almost like Kanya is a curse. Two pack brothers are now gone,” Elle said to Goon.

“Come on, bro. You can’t blame this shit on Kanya. It was time for Kofi to go back to his world, and it’s not her fault Dayo wanted some wolf dick and couldn’t get it,” Izra said. Before I knew it, Elle was in wolf form attacking Izra, who had immediately shifted. I backed away because when wolves fight, it gets ugly.

Elle’s wolf was bigger than Izra’s because Izra was still a young wolf, but Izra was more of a fighter. Elle’s wolf was gray, brown and white. Elle sank his teeth into Izra’s stomach. Izra let out a howl. They both were rolling around breaking up furniture. Amadi hollered for them to stop. Blood splattered on the wall when Izra bit Elle’s neck. Goon’s wolf started to pull them apart. Everything happened so fast that I didn’t realize Goon had shifted. Somehow all three of them ended up in the living room. Three huge animals were rolling around breaking up everything in sight. Izra accidentally bit Goon. Elle charged into Izra, with Goon still in the middle. All three of them went through the wall, landing in their gym room.

“Do something, Amadi!” I screamed.

Amadi ran down the hall then came back with a whistle. When he blew it, Goon, Elle and Izra immediately shifted back into human form.

I turned my head to ignore looking at Elle and Izra, who were both naked and bloody. Even though I have seen them naked plenty of times, I was forbidden from looking at them.

Goon looked at Amadi with blue eyes. His fangs were hanging out of his mouth. “I hate that damn whistle,” Goon roared. Goon looked like he wanted to attack Amadi.

“It was the only way,” Amadi said.

“Kofi should’ve taken that shit with him,” Izra said. Elle growled at Izra.

“Cut it out! This is our little brother. You had no business attacking him,” Goon said, shoving Elle into the wall.

“Fuck him! He always talks shit, not remembering he can get his little ass kicked! He needs to show respect for all of his brothers, despite what he thinks of them. Even if Dayo likes men, it doesn’t give Izra no damn right to judge him. Dayo has saved Izra from a lot of shit in the past. Perhaps Izra has forgotten about that because all he wants to do is live like a human and speak ridiculous slang,” Elle fussed.

“Oh, shut the fuck up, nigga! That’s your problem, Elle. You are still trying to live isolated from the world. Nigga, this is what we live in; we live in society with humans. Get your mind out of the damn woods and accept that we are going to live like humans,” Izra spat.

“We need to stick together!” Amadi shouted.

“No one fights inside of the house. If you want to rip each other’s throats apart, take it to the woods,” Goon said.

“Shut the fuck up, nigga. You were just ripping Dayo apart a few months ago at the dining room table. My damn orange juice spilled on the floor because of that shit,” Izra said.

I went upstairs to our bedroom. The twins were in their cribs sleeping peacefully while the pack was still arguing, and I heard growling and a few more things breaking. I guess a fight broke out again. It pained me to watch them fight. It made me nervous because when they were in beast mode, they didn’t care about one another.

Moments later, Goon came into our bedroom. He flopped down on the bed, completely naked.

“I had to give Amadi some of my blood. Elle and Izra attacked each other again. Amadi tried to pull them apart in human form and got attacked by them. Amadi knows that you cannot pull beasts apart in human form,” Goon said.

“Why did they fight again?”

“Elle broke Izra’s PlayStation,” Goon said.

My mother texted me telling me she wanted to see the babies; she wanted our address. I send them pictures of the twins daily, but truth is I’m afraid to tell them what I am.
