Hmmm...could Vivi be something besides human? Hope you're liking this story and will give it a follow and throw me a gem if you've got one available. Happy reading! Dallas
ViviI watched the three of them in awe as they discussed the upcoming battle at the dinner table, their faces grim but determined. I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread as the reality of what they were preparing for sank in. War. They were planning a war against these mysterious rogues, and the thought of my mates risking their lives terrified me."You three are the most skilled warriors in the entire pack," I blurted out, unable to keep the fear from my voice. "What if something happens to you? To any of you?"Xander wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me onto his lap. "We'll be fine, Vivi. We've fought much worse over the centuries. This is nothing compared to some of the battles we've faced."I nodded, trying to swallow the lump in my throat. "I know you're the best. It's just... I can't stand the thought of anything happening to you.""We'll be careful," Kane promised, kneeling beside my chair and pressing a kiss to my temple. "We have a good plan, and we won't let an
As Kane's hips slowed, Dax's hands were on my hips, pulling me away. I felt a momentary loss, but it was soon replaced by a surge of lust as Xander and Kane swapped places. Xander's fingers delved into me, and Dax's thick cock moved slowly within me with a slow, steady thrum.I cried out, the sensation of being stretched beyond belief mingling with the intense pleasure that shot through me. Xander's tongue swept against mine as his fingers continued to stroke within me, his fingers rubbing against my G-spot with every curl of his fingers.The brothers' movements were sinfully delicious, and I felt myself being drawn deeper into a spiral of ecstasy. Xander's tongue delved deep, and his fingers found the perfect spot, rubbing and teasing with every stroke. Dax's thick cock filling my back entrance making Xander's ministrations even more amazing.Kane's hands rejoined the dance, stroking my hips and thighs as Dax continued to sink into my body. The warm water splashing around us, buoying
My mates helped me from the spring, and I felt a sudden chill as the warm water ran off my skin. Luckily, Kane had thought ahead and brought thick towels, and we dried ourselves off quickly. I shivered as the cool air hit my heated skin but a warm blanket wrapped around my shoulders, and I was soon cozy again.The men spread the picnic blanket on the dry ground nearby and added some extra layers for good measure. I snuggled between Xander and Kane as Dax sat across from us, a picture of rugged masculinity with his wet, dark blonde hair and powerful build."That was incredible," I murmured, still reeling from the mind-blowing sex we'd just had. "I feel like I'm floating.""We aim to please, mate," Dax drawled, his eyes dark with desire as they roamed over my body.I felt a slow smile spread across my face as Xander nuzzled my neck, his breath warm and his fingers stroking lazily over my thigh. "Mission accomplished, it seems."Kane's lips pressed against my ear, his voice low and rumbl
The man ignored my question, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for something. They landed on the knife block on the counter, and I felt a surge of fear as he strode forward. My heart pounded in my chest, and I backed up until I felt the coolness of the refrigerator against my spine.Where was Soren? He'd been supposed to guard me, but there was no sign of the young warrior. Had this intruder hurt him?The man stopped in front of me, his eyes drilling into mine, and I could see the madness within them clearly now. "Where are they?" he demanded, his voice rough and grated."Who?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, transfixed by his intense gaze."Don't play dumb, human," he snarled, his hands balling into fists at his sides. "The two alphas. Where are they?"My eyes widened as the pieces clicked into place. This must be one of the rogues Xander and the others were fighting. But why was he here? And how had he gotten past the sentries?Before I could process his questions
Before me, sitting in an incongruous high-backed chair, was a tall, broad male, his eyes a striking shade of green. He wore a perfectly white silk shirt and a hunter green silk vest with what looked like small paw prints embroidered across it. One of his legs was crossed over the other, and he swirled an amber liquid in a crystal glass as he ran his eyes up and down my body."Welcome, little human," the male sneered, his eyes drifting over me with a mixture of hunger and contempt. "We've been waiting for you."I glared at the man, my eyes squinting. Even the small amount of light from the torches made my head pound. "What's going on? Who are you? Where are we?""We are somewhere your mates will never find you...unless you I want them to," the man who had taken me snarled. "Now, now, pup. Is that anyway to treat our guest?" The man in the chair stood, coming out of the shadows into my line of sight. He was tall and lean with blonde hair falling to his shoulders. He grinned at me in a
Though it didn't seem to slow him down a bit, Vivi continued to kick and fight as she was dragged through a rabbit warren of roughly hewn tunnels by Sean, the giant redheaded shifter."Oww! Stop that! One of your damn beads hit me in the eye!" Sean complained as she whipped her head back and forth."You're lucky that's all that's happened to you! Just wait until Xander finds me. You'll be begging to die before he's done with you!" Vivi kicked the giant in the shins, but she'd lost her shoes at some point, and she doubted she was even bruising him with her bare feet. She couldn't give up, though. She had to keep fighting until Xander showed up. No part of her doubted he would come to her rescue at any moment.Finally, Sean stopped in front of a small opening in the side of the rock wall that looked just big enough for an adult to crawl into. Vivi's heartrate spiked, and she fought to find the air to fill her lungs. Her eyes rolled in her head like a panicked horse, and she broke out in
Vivi's wolf form was magnificent – larger than a typical female, with rich red fur that seemed to glow even in the dim light of the cave. But she was hunched in a defensive posture, her eyes wild with fear and confusion as she faced off against two male wolves.Without hesitation, Xander launched himself at the nearest guard, his jaws clamping down on the wolf's throat. Kane and Dax moved in perfect synchronization, taking down the second guard before he could even react.Vivi let out a confused whine, backing away from the sudden violence. Xander turned to her, his heart breaking at the fear in her eyes. Slowly, he shifted back to his human form, holding his hands out in a non-threatening gesture."Vivi," he said softly, his voice rough with emotion. "It's me, Xander. You're safe now. We're here to take you home."For a long moment, Vivi stared at him, her wolf eyes uncomprehending. Then, slowly, recognition seemed to dawn. She took a hesitant step forward, then another, until she was
As they approached the compound, Vivi stumbled, her new wolf form trembling with exhaustion. Without hesitation, Xander slipped beneath her, supporting her weight against his larger frame. The sensation of his fur against hers sent tingles through her body, and she gratefully leaned into him. As they entered the main house, Xander gently nuzzled Vivi, guiding her towards their shared quarters. Kane and Dax flanked them, their eyes scanning the surroundings protectively. Once inside, Xander shifted back to his human form, his voice a gentle rumble as he spoke to Vivi."You're safe now, love. Let's get you cleaned up."Vivi, still in her wolf form, looked up at him with trusting, golden eyes. Xander smiled softy and scooped her up into his arms, carrying her to the large bathroom. Kane and Dax followed, their presence comforting and familiar.The bathroom was expansive, with a sunken tub big enough for all of them. Xander set Vivi down gently on the soft bathmat and turned on the tap,
ViviThe Council's decision was better than nothing, but far less than we needed. As I left the meeting chamber, frustration warred with pragmatism in my mind. The sanctuary designation would provide some protection, but Julian wouldn't be deterred by political gestures or economic sanctions. His vision of supernatural society was too fundamental to his identity, his conviction too deep to be swayed by diplomatic pressure."It's something," Xander said quietly, reading my expression as he fell into step beside me. "The Council's formal recognition legitimizes what we're building here.""I know," I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I just hoped for more direct intervention. Julian crossed a line using that weapon against the barrier. The potential consequences weren't limited to our territory."Kane nodded grimly. "The Council understands that. But they're constrained by centuries of precedent regarding territory autonomy. To intervene directly would undermine the very foundatio
LyraI could feel it—the tension in the air, the worry in their minds, the fear they tried so hard to hide from me. At three months old, I wasn't supposed to understand these things, but I did. The dual Starfire that flowed through my veins made me different, connected me to things beyond ordinary perception.My silver eye saw what others couldn't—the shimmering threads of energy that bound our community together, the pulsing light of the barrier that separated our world from the Void. My golden eye perceived intentions, emotions, the subtle currents of thought that adults believed were hidden from an infant's awareness.They were wrong. I saw everything. I understood more than they realized.As I lay in my cradle, watching the mobile of stars and moons that Sage had crafted for me, I felt the barrier tremble again—an aftershock from Julian's attack. It had been three days since the eastern boundary was breached, and though the adults spoke in hushed tones when they thought I couldn't
XanderThe attack came at dawn, when the barrier's energy was naturally at its lowest ebb. I was awakened by the compound's alarm—a magical warning system Sage had designed to alert us to any breach of our outer defenses.I was on my feet instantly, years of training taking over as adrenaline surged through my system. Beside me, Vivi stirred, her golden Starfire already flaring in response to the threat."The nursery," she said, fear evident in her voice. "Lyra—""I'll check," I assured her, already moving toward the door. "Stay here until we know what we're dealing with."The corridor outside our bedroom was filled with activity—pack members responding to the alarm with disciplined efficiency. Kane appeared at my side, his expression grim."Eastern boundary," he reported tersely. "Multiple breaches. The wards are holding for now, but they're under sustained attack.""Julian?" I asked, though I already knew the answer.Kane nodded. "His signature was detected by the boundary markers.
EowynThree months after Lyra's birth, I stood at the eastern boundary of our territory, my senses alert for any disturbance. Julian Thornwood's forces had been unusually quiet since our expansion, but Kane's intelligence network reported increased activity along the borders of his alliance. Something was brewing, and I was determined to ensure our defenses were prepared.The boundary gleamed in my magical sight, a shimmering curtain of energy that pulsed with the combined power of my silver Starfire and Vivi's gold. Since Lyra's birth, the barrier had grown stronger, more stable—as if her very existence had somehow anchored the equilibrium more firmly in our reality.I ran my hand along the invisible boundary, feeling the familiar tingle of energy against my skin. The moonstones we had placed were functioning perfectly, their power amplified by the barrier essence that Vivi and I had created together."Anything concerning?" Ronan asked, approaching from behind. He had been patrolling
ViviThe pain came in waves, each one stronger than the last, cresting and receding like a tide determined to pull me under. I gripped Xander's hand on one side and Eowyn's on the other, drawing strength from their unwavering presence as my body worked to bring our child into the world."You're doing beautifully," Kelda murmured, her experienced hands checking my progress. "The baby is descending perfectly. Not much longer now."I nodded, unable to speak as another contraction built. Around me, I could feel the energy of those I loved most—Xander's steady power, Eowyn's cool Starfire, Kane's analytical calm, and Dax's restless vitality. Each contributed in their own way, creating a circle of protection and support that made me feel invincible despite the pain.As the contraction peaked, I felt something else—a ripple in the barrier, a resonance that seemed to echo the rhythm of my labor. The Void Walkers were watching, their attention focused and intent."They're here," I gasped as th
EowynThe morning breeze carried the scent of pine and wild herbs as I stood at the edge of the eastern boundary, my silver Starfire dancing at my fingertips. The expansion of our territory had begun in earnest, and today I was tasked with establishing the new magical perimeter—a responsibility I still found somewhat surprising, given my history.A year ago, I had been a prisoner of the Council, my powers bound and manipulated for their purposes. Now, I was trusted with safeguarding the borders of what had become the most remarkable supernatural sanctuary in existence. The irony wasn't lost on me."You're smiling," Ronan observed, appearing at my side with the quiet grace that still sometimes startled me. "A rare sight so early in the morning."I glanced at him, taking in his familiar features—the sharp angles of his face softened by the morning light, his dark hair ruffled by the wind. Once my captor, now my partner in every sense that mattered."Just appreciating how much has change
I shifted slightly to ease the pressure on my lower back, a common discomfort in these final days of pregnancy. "What is it?""A naming ceremony," Dax explained, his usual cockiness tempered with genuine emotion. "Not just any ceremony, but one that honors both your Fenrir heritage and connects our child to the barrier.""The three of us have been researching ancient traditions," Xander elaborated. "Working with Sage and Lyra to create something meaningful. A ritual that would formally recognize our child as both heir to your bloodline and a symbol of the new world we're creating."The idea of a naming ceremony resonated deeply within me, evoking images of ancient rites and sacred gatherings. I could almost see the flickering candles, smell the fragrant herbs, and hear the solemn chants that would mark this significant moment in our child's life. The ceremony would be a blend of old and new, a testament to the heritage we carried and the future we were forging.Xander continued, his v
As Xander and I made our way toward the guest quarters, he took my hand, his thumb tracing absent patterns across my knuckles."Happy?" he asked simply.I considered the question seriously. "Yes," I replied after a moment. "Not in the simplistic way I might have defined happiness before all this began. It's deeper now—more complex. I'm fulfilled. Purposeful."His golden eyes warmed with understanding. "That's a better goal than mere happiness, I think. Fulfillment lasts.""What about you?" I asked, turning the question back on him. "This territory is three times the size of your original pack lands. The responsibility has grown exponentially.""Shared responsibility," he corrected. "That makes all the difference. And seeing what we're building here..." He gestured to the compound around us, which had expanded considerably to accommodate our growing population. "This is what being an Alpha should mean—creating something sustainable, something that serves more than just our immediate pa
Six months after establishing the barrier, our vision for a new kind of supernatural sanctuary was taking shape. What had begun as a theoretical discussion in Xander's office had evolved into a tangible reality as word spread throughout the supernatural communities.The Council, after initial resistance, had eventually recognized the wisdom in our proposal. The barrier's stability had proven itself through multiple lunar cycles, and the benefits of having a dedicated territory surrounding it—managed by those most connected to its maintenance—became increasingly difficult to deny.Today marked the arrival of our newest residents, a small coven of water witches from the Pacific Northwest who had requested sanctuary after conflicts with local shifter packs made their position untenable."That's the third magical group this month," Kane observed as we watched from the main house balcony while Sage showed the newcomers to their quarters. "Your sanctuary idea is gaining traction faster than
