Franco watched Benedict and Ebony return to the station. He knew as soon as he saw Benedict’s face what happened in the bush while were out. “Well, well, looks like Benedict didn’t wait for us to dip his wick and have a taste of our girl.” Peter turned from what he was doing to look at Franco. “What? You’re kidding.” “He’s got that just got laid look on his face.” “Let me see.” Peter took the binoculars from Franco and trained them of the two as they approached. “Well, he better not complain when we have some dessert tonight.” “Ooo... That sounds good. We can lay her out on the table, and he can watch us send her over the edge.” “It’s not a competition. She might be sore. You know how wild Benedict can be.” Peter wanted to know their mate in every way, but he wanted to take their time. He knew they were a lot to handle, and they could easily overwhelm a woman. “Maybe being gentle and slow with her, then? That has its own appeal,
Ebony desperately wanted to talk to her sisters. What was she going to do with three mates out here with humans around? Maybe she needed to talk to her mother? Could she even get a signal to call even one of them out here? So there she was with her satellite phone, looking for a signal by her bedroom window. There, she had one. Thank all that’s holy. She dialled her sister Sapphire. Not only was she also a wolf, she’d not exactly lived a traditional lifestyle. That was a story and a half, and Ebony was sure that it wasn’t over, yet, she was sure of that. With curses and other various magic things going on, it was a wonder the woman would talk to any of them. But now, with the binding spell off her and Ivory, they were exploring their special abilities. Gods, what was she going to tell the guys about her own abilities? She couldn’t use her abilities with them around without freaking them out. She’d lost several friends over the years doing her Doctor Dolittle
Peter sat there with his plate of food relatively untouched. He’d expected her to come up here and instantly want to know what he and Franco would like to do with her. Instead, she launched into her family, coming to see her about something weird in the woods, and they should disregard anything unusual about her family. “May I ask what you mean about unusual?” Franco asked, between shovelling large chunks of food into his mouth. He didn’t notice until an empty spoon reached his mouth that he’d finished. At least, someone was enjoying the food he’d made. “Well… Promise not to hate me? I’m a hybrid, actually. One of three born during a Strawberry Moon. I’m the oldest and born just minutes before the moon hit its zenith. Sapphire is the next, born during the zenith, and then there’s Ivory born minutes after the zenith. By the blank looks on your faces, you don’t know what that means. Okay, it’s a weird thing that happens… Well, once in a blue moon. Or a strawbe
Ebony left and the three men instantly regretted their reactions to her news. “Do we believe this? How would she show us proof she can do that?” “We either take her at face value and accept it. Or we don’t pursue this match? I say we believe her and with her family here. We can discuss it with them. See how they handle it?” “I say we all have our issues, and we’ll have to add them to the pot sooner or later for her to decide whether she’ll take on our issues. So, if she accepts us as we are. Wouldn’t we be hypocrites to face hers? I mean, crazy or not, she’s dealing with something.” “I think I’m going to find her.” Peter was sullen during most of the meal and most of the conversation. “Wish me luck.” He left and followed Ebony’s scent easily to find her by the small river sitting on a rock. She looked so alone. Even when a bit landed on her knee. She barely paid attention as it hopped and twittered at her. He watched silently as she sighed an
Two men in one day. Would she survive this? Or would they wear her out? Now she waited on pins and needles for Franco, to what should call it. Perform for her? Benedict liked it rough, Peter was his opposite, so what did Franco like? Ebony would be the first to admit she was curious. It wasn’t until she went to go to bed Ebony found out about Franco. He insisted on her sleeping with all three of them. They’d lined a room with mattresses and slept tangled together. Franco cuddled. He was the catalyst for their close bond. He needed to be touched, and he needed to touch. So here she was in the centre of these three males. Trying to sleep. Franco’s head lay against her hip, his nose close to the apex of her bare thighs. Ebony was having difficulty falling asleep with the scent of her new mates so close. Franco must have noticed, because he woke up and began burying his nose between her thighs. She couldn’t believe this. She’d never needed sex so badly. Fear
Ebony awoke with the guys asleep around her. Peter used her breast as a pillow and Franco was on her other side, using her hip the same way. She could feel his breath on her inner thigh. Benedict’s chest was her pillow. She couldn’t make sense of the tangle of arms and legs until everyone got up. Getting ready for the day, having breakfast, and planning the day. “If only there wasn’t trouble out there, I’d be half tempted to take the day off and be with my mates. Bond you to us right now.” Benedict stated as he kissed her good morning. Once everyone was greeted similarly, Ebony felt a change in the atmosphere between everyone. The live wire caused by the anticipation was gone. The men could relax and be themselves finally. No more pussyfooting around. They could touch and express themselves without fear of her rejection, and she felt a little bad about that. If she’d only known, it would be like this earlier. She’d have welcomed them fully that first night. Franco
Franco insisted it was his turn to help Ebony out with the communications work and other administrative duties. While they kept an eye out from the tower, the other two set out to see if they could find out more about these poachers and where they’d been. Ebony figured they could start looking there for evidence of a wight having been disturbed when her family arrived. Ebony hated the idea of them looking for anything like the wight without her. Partially because Benedict didn’t believe that such a creature still existed in the modern world or even existed in the past.“Ebony, hon. You need to relax. Peter and Benedict will be fine out there. They know what they are doing, and they’ll be careful. Honestly, it’s daylight and the chances of them finding anything are slim. You need to focus on how we’re going to keep the other rangers from this area if possible.” Franco was standing behind Ebony, his hands on her shoulders, trying to work out the knots that were formi
Everyone settled as Peter quickly got lunch together. Benedict loved what he saw when they arrived back, and now Ebony finally got her hands on one of them. She sat in his lap facing him, her hands jerking him off eagerly. She whispered in his ear. “I like this, but I want to see you come for me. Come on. I want to see how high you can shoot it.” She was teasing him. Getting him to focus on his happy ending. “Never mind how high it goes. Let’s see how fast I come inside you.” Benedict’s fingers moved quickly to her core and thrust in to test her readiness. “Gods, of course, you’re ready for me.” He moved her from his lap to the desk. Then with her face down, Benedict’s shaft entered her and again showed Ebony how hot he ran and how he loved to drive them to new heights, fast and hard. Again, she throbbed over his knotted shaft. His swollen shaft throbbed, and he thrust into with it grunting, come shooting hotly with it. Her hypersensitive core spasmed each time until he
They were on a pause between healing sessions. Benedict needed to have several sessions before his bones were completely healed again. Until they were healed then he wouldn’t be able to shift into his wolf. “How are you feeling now?” Ebony came to sit beside Benedict. She hugged his arm and rested her head on his shoulder after she left a kiss on his cheek.Benedict blinked. The healers had left minutes ago, neither healer was happy with each other. They had left to deal with their issues while Benedict’s body needed time to recover. So, here they were for the first time in seemed alone. Quiet and alone together. “I swear everything hurts more than it did before. But I was told I had several bones that hadn’t set perfectly in the past so they’re fixing them too.”“You had broken bones that weren’t set correctly.” Ebony pointed out with a sympathetic wincing look of pain on her face as she said this to her mate. She tried to keep it light but how could she? It’s obvious he must n
Ebony took Benedict to the closest healing center she had her Beta call ahead to explain the situation to explain that they weren’t having an emergency but they did need extensive healing for a leader. Her Beta sent a file that Benedict’s Beta received from the healer about his condition so that they could understand what to expect when they arrived. They wouldn’t book an appointment until the healer received it. But when she received the file it took minutes to receive a response. Ebony wasn’t happy that they didn’t seem to accept their words and explanations. It wasn’t until someone recognized Ebony’s last name and connected it to her mother then things changed. “Why did you have no one say anything about it Luna?” A junior healer who worked as a senior administrator and was working as the leader of the group managing Benedict’s needs while was there. “I love my family but I’m not a shadow or a facet of anyone of them. I’m
“When when last spoke and I told you I hadn’t received injuries I wasn’t lying. We had a freak accident nothing that we could have predicted or accounted for. They misplaced truck and the ground was too wet under it. When a second vehicle moved out while they were moving a skid of equipment into place. The earth under the rear wheels shifted off the back of the truck in seconds and I was beneath it. The skid was no longer full but heavy enough to break my femur and three ribs.We had a healer there, so they patched me up. The planes needed several repairs that would take days. I didn’t want them to take time away from the repairs to take me to a healing center then it would take longer to get home. Before you say anything, I didn’t believe I was that severely injured.” Benedict hadn’t believed he’d been that injured until after the Druid had stabilized his breaks and the pain had settled in when his adrenaline had faded. He’d been embarrassed by his response to that, but it was to la
Benedict didn’t tell Ebony that he stayed away an extra two days because he had gone to the front lines to review the damage to their equipment and vehicles. Fate got him and he ran right into a freak accident and a human skid slid off the back of a flatbed truck. There was no question about it the accident being an accident. Wolves and humans were working together to pack the truck at the time. But the mud under the truck shifted when another vehicle started and moved out.He’d left with a broken leg and three ribs. At least they’d had a druid healer here who could start his healing process. But he wouldn’t be able to shift for a week. Benedict would walk home though a little slowly.Benedict knew he’d lied to Ebony, but he didn’t want to explain it on the phone. Not when she was so close to giving birth. His people had to make several repairs on their vehicles there in the field to get it home anyway. It took a day longer and it didn’t hurt Benedict’s recovery. Even though h
Ebony waited at the Pack house. It had been three days since Benedict and their team had left for the fire. The pilots had come in for fuel and repairs. Several vehicles had come in baring injured people on the way to get care. They’d been found trapped within the fire or were injured during fighting the fire. But so far, their wolves, mages, druids, bears, and such had stayed safe and were still working toward stopping the fire. However, Ebony had heard complaints that magic was a disappointment by the human fighting contingents and not nearly as powerful or magical as they had believed it should have been. Which received sighs, warnings, and reminders of their that there were limits like anything within reality. Ebony used the time, or she tried to, to finish the pups’ suite. It wouldn’t be used fully right away. They would have the pups in their room first before they would use their suite. She wondered who these pups would look like. Ebony h
Benedict was teasing Ebony with names over dinner when the call came through. The first real call. They’d been watching a storm for the last three days. It’s winds were pushing thirty-five miles an hour and lightning was flashing randomly throughout the mountains. The problems they were having was the area the storm was in had been a dry zone for the last eight months. They were waiting for the lightning to start multiple fires, flash floods, landslides, and car accidents. Humans would need help it’s how these things worked. Extreme weather was becoming worse not better. Humans could handle a lot but it was adding up.“Go on, this is what we made this place for. Show them why we’re here and what we can offer.” Ebony all but pushed Benedict out the door. “I have enough people here to help me. I’ll be fine here missing you. Now go.”“Right. Don’t do anything crazy while I’m gone okay?” Benedict begged. He wasn’t sure what she would do. But she was pushing him out the door when he w
Ebony couldn’t get comfortable. Her stomach was so large now. She struggled to get out of the bed and chairs. Ebony avoided standing for too long. It had been months since she’d shifted into fur, and she missed hunting. She missed running and there wasn’t any way she was going to run like this. But her balance was off like her pups decided they wanted to sit only on one side of her body. That’s the only way she could describe it in her grumpy upset mood.Benedict was distracted by Ebony’s distressed attitude. She still had two months until she gave birth. He tried to ensure she had everything she could want and if she wanted to move then she had someone with her to help her. Preferably it would be him. He hated anyone touching her but him now. They spent more time together. “I have a few gifts here from the families and the Pack wants to set up the pups’ nursery. Are you ready for that or is it too early for you?”“oh no I’m great. Go ahead and have them bring me in the gifts
Ebony had her staff enter and between her staff as Marian’s staff they worked with the school’s staff. They had to brute force at times to get the documentation completed and wait times waived. To gain the testing schedules at a specific date and location. But between Marian and Ebony’s joint effort they were able to overcome the bureaucratic mess presented to them. Marian used the media and the public eye to keep the gears moving. While Ebony had the eye of the supernatural government on her through Benedict’s father and her father. So, there was no room to falter and no time.Even so it took months to achieve this and get this far. Now they were able to step back into their everyday life. Ebony’s baby bump was beginning to show now. Benedict was managing the building of the healing center and hiring of healers as many would also work as teachers, rescuers, emergency workers, and such.Benedict knew he had to have a certain amount of medical foundation up and running fast sin
Benedict moved through the Pack house searching for Ebony. He’d received word that Marian had arrived at the gates and was headed there right now. This was the first time she’d visited their territory and Ebony along with many others were abuzz with trying to make everything perfect for her visit. “Ebony, Marian is here. She wants to talk to you about the results of her PTA meeting.” Benedict leaned into her study and saw the stress on her face. “What’s going on? Do you think it went that badly?”“Badly? I don’t know. I mean come on. It can’t get any worse than they say no, and we carry on with our previous plans. No, they might want to limit where out pups can and can’t go after this. They might fear our pups can’t control their aggressive nature and might cause problems.” “I don’t know about that wouldn’t she have said something on the phone if it had been a no.” Benedict asked in an effort to point out the effort Marian was taking to come to their home.“I don’t know Ben
