5 Brothers & The House of Stray Soul Tied
The ride back was quiet, Purity had fallen asleep again, and Pru stared out the window, driving. Lasci had a lot on his mind, between everything going on at the house since Purity came and talking to the nurse for a moment about Purity’s grandmother. “Do you think the room is ready?” Pru asked Lasci in a quiet tone breaking Lasci’s deep thought. Lasci shrugged, “Not sure. They’ve had plenty of time. I’ll give Johnathan a call and ask him.” Lasci pulled out his phone and dialed Johnathan’s number. The demon butler answered, “Yes, can I help you?” “How’s the room situation coming?” “Oh, it’s done! Everything is finally dry and set up. It looks great,” he said with too much enthusiasm to be coming from a demon. Lasci glanced back at Purity, still leaning against the seat, sleeping, “Well, I spoke to the nurse. The female was right. The only living family member she had, was her grandmother. So, I think it’s safe to say she isn’t a mate to a pack and is just a normal human. She m

Laying Purity in his bed, Lasci tried his best not to wake her. Removing her shoes and pulling the blankets up to her waist, he stared at her for a moment and then turned away to head downstairs. “Are we back?” Purity’s words came out sleepily, and Lasci responded, “Yes, the storm wasn’t as bad on the drive back. Are you hungry?” Turning around, he nodded, saying, “Some of them are going to the grocery store, so if you want, there is a pen and pad of paper on the desk if you want to write down what you eat.” Purity smiled, shaking her head, “Whatever is fine. I’m really not picky. Right now, though, can I have something small to take my medication with?” “Let me check what we have downstairs in the fridge,” Lasci responded. “Thank you, too, for helping me. I’m still kind of confused about what I should do. But I will pay you back, I promise.” Looking into her bright blue eyes, Lasci’s heart thumped loudly. He quickly looked away, answering, “Don’t worry about paying me back. In

It took another week before Purity was up and moving on her own. Libidi and Pru weren’t around the house much as they worked at STRAYTIS for Lasci, who was ready to get things back to normal. He hadn’t heard or felt the stranger that had visited last week but was on guard, keeping a close eye on Purity. Getting used to the comings and goings of the brothers, Purity did her best to get along with them. She was well enough now to hang out with them, use the bathroom, shower, and even go downstairs while still in her leg brace if she took it easy. Dr. Fry said, at her follow-up, it was only a matter of days, and she could even run again if she chose to do so. Hearing a bang upstairs for the third time that morning, Lasci rushed from the kitchen to go up to the bedroom again to check on Purity. Opening her bedroom door quickly, saying, “Are you all right?” He stopped and stared. “Get out!” Purity’s yell didn’t register at first. Lasci was too busy eyeing her naked body, half covere

Purity came down a few minutes later, wearing jeans and a sweater. Her golden hair was pulled back, making her look like a typical college student. “Sorry I took so long.” “It’s fine, let’s go,” Lasci said, trying to tear his eyes away from her. Once they were in the vehicle and Lasci started heading down the driveway, he noticed Purity shifting uneasily in the passenger seat. “Everything okay?” She nodded, “Yeah, it’s still a little unnerving getting in the passenger seat. I’m used to driving, not that you’re a bad driver, you’re a great driver, plus the accident, it all has me anxious.” Lasci took it the wrong way, it wasn’t too long ago, and she was sleeping on her way back from the hospital to get her grandmother’s things. “Oh, so you like it better when Pru drives?” Purity looked at him sideways, “Noo, and I was in the back seat then. This time, I don’t know, different.” Trying not to get irritated or jealous, Lasci tried to understand, but it wasn’t working. “Do you w
Last Updated : 2022-12-235 Brothers & The House of Stray Picture Of Explanation
Sitting in silence during the remainder of the drive to Purity’s grandmother's house, Lasci’s mind was full of confusion and rejection. “Why did I try to kiss her?” he asked himself because now things were awkward, but yet, he still wanted to pull over the vehicle and try again, take her regardless of how much she may protest. He thought it was the right moment. The wolf inside him wanted to connect to her, feel her out. But, the look she gave him before turning away was one of fear and uncertainty. “Ehm, uh, Lasci?” Her voice broke through the tight ropes of rejection, and he responded, “Yeah?” He felt her hesitation before she responded, “Nothing... it’s nothing. I forgot, never mind.” Lasci took a deep breath and knew they needed to move past this. “I’m sorry, I just thought,” he started to say, but Purity quickly said, “Oh, I remember now. Can we swing by the college? I want to check in the office about my dorm room. They can give me the needed amount for the rest o
Last Updated : 2022-12-285 Brothers & The House of Stray Howl With Reason
“Lasci, you look like you’ve seen a ghost. Do you know that man?” Not wanting to tell Purity the truth just yet, Lasci shook his head, “No, I don’t. I thought it was your uncle or someone. I was going to say it was nice to see some of your relatives. That’s all.” He quickly took it from her and returned the picture to the bedroom. Coming out, he casually asked, “So, do you have everything you need?” Purity nodded, “Yeah, there were a few things from my room, some clothes and a photo album I wanted. I guess the rest can go in storage until after I’m done with college. Can you carry this out, and I’ll shut lights off before I lock up?” Lasci nodded, a bit regretful about not seeing her bedroom, but he grabbed the bag and headed outside while Purity locked up. He gave her a few minutes alone in the house. It was hard for her, but she had done great braving this. Now, however, there was a whole new challenge ahead. Who was Purity’s destined wolf? Lasci remembered that the shaman

Purity went into the kitchen and grabbed some water. She’d been so thirsty lately. Since everyone was upstairs in Amorous’s room, she decided to take a walk around outside. It was late, but the sun still shone above the horizon, giving her a little time to exercise. Grabbing her coat hanging by the front door, she went outside and took the little sidewalk path around to the back of the house. When she got around back, paved paths intertwined like a maze around a hedged garden. It was close to winter, and most flowers weren’t blooming. She could tell the garden was loved in the summer but neglected during the cold. She noticed a large pool was covered by a tarp in the middle of the massive garden. “I bet that’s fun,” she said, walking along it. A second later, a rustling noise came from her right side. She stopped and looked along the hedge but didn’t see anything and continued walking. Taking a path that veered towards the edge of the woods, Purity was able to admire some m

Lasci waited by his mother’s statue as he watched Purity run from the small enclosure of green straight into Tener. He saw their accidental embrace but didn’t have time to feel jealous. Instead, they had an uninvited guest to deal with. Once Purity was headed toward the house and safely inside, where he knew Johnathan, the demon butler, was waiting and watching out of view, Lasci let out an air-piercing howl to his brothers. Other than Tener, everyone else was one with their wolf. Unlike before, when the stranger had dared visit his room when Purity was recovering, this being was unmasked, not hiding who or what he was, a vampire. His two brothers responded with their own howls, which signaled they were ready. Lasci took off toward the encircling hedges and shot through, not caring what was on the other side. All he knew was it was not welcomed and had dared touch Purity. Breaking through the thorny brambles that hid within the lush leaves, Lasci caught sight of who was waiting

5 Brothers & The House of Stray Braced Against Tile
It was Tener. Standing there with one hand holding the towel closed and the other on the stall, he looked at her with deep blue eyes. Water was dripping from his tawny hair plastered along the side of a very trim, muscular arm. She could see the muscles on his stomach rippling south below the towel. Letting out a loud squeak, Purity turned, hiding her face, “TENER! This is the women's shower!” He didn't respond, but she could feel the burn of his gaze on her naked backside. At that point, the shower sound was muted because she clearly heard the slip and drop of his towel. “What are you doing?” she asked, still hiding her face, not daring to turn around. Suddenly warm, gentle hands slipped up her waist and beneath her arms before gently cupping her full breasts. “Shhh, don’t move…,” he said, pressing his hardness against her backside and leaning to her ear. Purity was stuck. She didn’t want this, even as she protested, but something in her made her stay still and not resist, “Te
5 Brothers & The House of Stray Shower Thoughts
Johnathan's laughter rang through the phone as Lasci started to undress to ready his wolf, "What's so funny?" he asked, kicking off his shoes. "A moment, please, let me gather myself," Johnathan said, trying to calm the laughter, "You have no need to rush out as if saving the day, Lasci. The shifter is harmless. We've already had a nice chat over the phone, and as for Purity, I will say she's enjoying her dominance over Tener. I brought them to the gym for some blood-pumping exercise and discipline. It turns out our Purity is quite the little fox when it comes to handling your brother. She has had him on his back several times after learning only a few moves. I admire her capabilities, to be honest." Lasci took a deep breath and leaned against the wall in the foyer, "You took them to the gym, for a date?" "Yes, why? It's perfectly normal, and it allows them to be close physically. Is there something wrong with that, Lasci?" As much as Lasci wanted to yell into the phone, "YES
5 Brothers & The House of Stray Bastian's Certainty
Bastian smirked, “Thought you’d find that worth staying in my company for a moment. After your bad form toward my love, everyone left the dinner table. So, eventually, I found myself waiting on her balcony with no intention of eavesdropping. But, mind you, it just happened that way. I must have caught the tail end of something because one minute, they were talking about your nasty declaration, and the next, the female wolf was attempting to open the balcony door. I was about to hide myself when your brother, Pru, came in the bedroom door and caught her attempting to leave.” Lasci shook his head, irritated, “You’re telling me something I already know, Bastian. Get on with it, or I’ll lose my patience.” Bastian smiled innocently, “I’m getting there, be patient. Now, where was I? Oh yes, her leaving and your brother coming in. So they had exchanged a few words, and the female wolf left.” Bastian acted like that was the end of it, and Lasci snapped, “You’re wasting my time.” “
5 Brothers & The House of Stray No Sign
Lasci paced the floor, his mind on edge about Purity and everything he said the night before. Now that Fahal had left, he was worried Purity might hate him even more. The front door opened, breaking his thoughts when Pru came in. “Any luck?” Prus shook his head, “Nothing. She’s either covered her trail perfectly or had help.” Running his hands desperately through his hair Lasci swore, “Fuck, I bet that vampire helped her. Where is he?” “I haven’t seen him since dinner last night. It’s possible he helped her leave, but we can’t be certain. If the female wolf was here, in fact, looking for a mate, I doubt she would have left regardless of what the situation was. Not all of us will be mated to Purity, so she had a chance. If you ask me, I think she was just looking for a place to hide before moving on. Refuge, in a manner of speaking.” Lasci nodded in agreement but still felt uneasy about it, “What do you think we should tell Purity? 'Her newfound companion just up and left b
5 Brothers & The House of Stray Sometimes It's A Smile
Purity watched as Johnathan threw a wave out the van’s window and drove off. She was nervous about being left in Tener’s care but decided she could fend for herself by turning away from him and heading straight into the kitty café. Small mews from the kittens in a small enclosed sitting area reached her ears, and the smell of baked goods and tea filled her nose. A standing sign greeted her and read, “Find your seat, lift your feet, and get cozy. Our fluffy friends will find their way to you. They are well behaved and will let you enjoy your meal in peace (All cooked breakfast is chef’s choice, baked items are created fresh every morning.).” Purity giggled because at that moment, a large, short-haired tabby rubbed against her legs and meowed loudly, demanding attention. “Awe, aren’t you precious? Come here, big guy,” Purity cooed as she picked up the tabby to cuddle him. “Welcome! Sit anywhere you’d like, and I’ll be with you shortly,” a cheery male voice said from behind a high d
5 Brothers & The House of Stray Tener Hates Cats
Walking over to the kitchen window, Lasci peeked through the blinds. Only blackness looked back at him with the occasional light display from the storm that stayed in the clouds. He wasn’t worried about Fahla but about how Purity would take the news that the female wolf had left. At dinner, he couldn’t help noticing the easy conversation between them and the laughter coming from Purity. They appeared to be close in such a short amount of time. It was the same with his brothers, too. She could talk comfortably with them and joke about things. So why did he always feel outside her circle, like a stranger sometimes? Purity lay in bed with her eyes closed while the morning light tickled her lashes. She didn’t dream but a tiny bit about Lasci. Recalling it, she could remember the feeling, and the images remained of them both staring across from each other, standing on opposite sides of a small creek. There were urban displays of everyday human life behind Purity, and behind Lasci wa
5 Brothers & The House of Stray The Anomaly Of No Wolf
Pru ran to the balcony and was sure he caught sight of her for only a moment before she disappeared along the dark tree line. Going back inside quickly, he shut the door as quietly as possible, seeing Purity was still asleep. Walking fast, he left the room to run down the stairs and chase after Fahla. But he stopped, suddenly hesitant. Pru knew if the female wolf wanted to stay, she would have. He couldn’t understand why she’d left, but what was even more confusing was how she managed to jump down off the balcony when that was something even he couldn’t do without almost injuring himself. Of course, Lasci had jumped off his own balcony a few times in wolf form, but Lasci was an Alpha, so it was understandable. “Is Fahla a true Alpha female?” Pru wondered to himself. “Are they asleep?” Lasci asked, coming from the great room and looking up the stairs at Pru. Pru nodded, “Well, Purity is, but the female wolf is gone.” “Gone? Gone where?” Pru shook his head, “No clue Lasci.
5 Brothers & The House of Stray Quietly Leaving
Everyone had managed to sit down for dinner, but it wasn’t the usually pleasant and funny atmosphere. Libidi still held a grudge against Fahla, and Lasci was unhappy initially. Purity tried smoothing things over, but none of the brothers or Bastian seemed comfortable. Finally, after an argument with Lasci, causing him to get up from the dinner table and leave, Purity lost her appetite and invited Fahla to stay in her bedroom for the night. “Ignore him. He’ll get over it,” Purity said, referring to Lasci and slamming her bedroom door after Fahal made her way in. The female wolf laughed in amusement, “You’re impressive, kid. Every Alpha I’d ever come across wouldn’t just sit there and argue before finally pouting and leaving the room.” Purity laughed nervously, “Yeah, well, I'm sure he’ll make me pay for it later. But I don’t care. He had no right saying that.” Purity plopped on her bed, and Fahla jumped up on the creamy pink sofa across from her and lay down, “He’s right, tho
