First Shift
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Valley?”
I heard Tommy calling for me.
“I’m on the swing!”
I called out to him. He came running over and put his hands out to stop the swing. I opened my eyes and smiled at him.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BROTHER!!”
He shouted happily as my eyes met his. I climbed off the swing and gave him a hug.
“Thanks Tom-Tom”
I said using his nickname. He smiled and grabbed my hand.
“Let’s go to the stream in the woods behind our house.”
He said as he started walking. I shrugged and followed him, but paused when we reached the back yard.
“Does mom know where we are going?”
I asked. He turned to look at me and smiled.
“Of Course. Are you scared or something?”
He arched his perfect eyebrow. I shook my head no quickly and he laughed. I smiled at him and continued to follow him to the tree line. I walked right behind him so that we would stay close together. It didn’t take us long to reach the stream.
We smiled and sat down on the bank of the stream. We watched as some fish swam by paying us no mind.
“Do you ever think about them?”
He asked suddenly putting his focus on me. I looked at him with a confused face.
“I mean, your real mom and dad?”
He asked after I was silent for far longer than he liked. I looked down into the water and frowned.
“I used to think about them all the time, but now I can’t even remember their faces.”
I said as I picked up a stick and poked the water with it. He put an arm around my shoulder and pulled me into a side hug.
"Well, I am glad my mom and dad got me you as a brother.”
He said and I looked up at him.
“You really mean that?”
I asked. He smiled wider.
“Yes. Mom and Dad made the right choice in picking you for their son.”
He said firmly. I smiled and then looked back at the stream.
“Did Mom ask you to bring me here?”
I asked after a few moments of silence passed. He picked up a rock and tossed it into the water before he replied
“Yeah.”
I shook my head slightly as I watched the rock sink into the bottom of the water.
A twig snapping nearby had me sitting up in full alert. My body stiffened and I wondered if it was just an animal or not. Tommy looked up towards the sound as well looking for the source.
“Tom-Tom…maybe we should go back..”
I suggested and stood up. Tommy didn’t move an inch when we heard the next twig snap.
“TOMMY!”
I called out grabbing his hand trying to get him to stand up. My heart started to pound in panic. My breathing quickened when a large chocolate colored wolf emerged from the trees across the stream in front of us. Tommy’s eyes went wide as he stared at the wolf. The wolf was easily the size of a grizzly bear. It paused in it’s steps and stared at us.
“T..Tommy…W…w….We have…have..to..to..g..go…”
I stuttered out trying to calm my breathing. Tommy slowly stood to his feet keeping his wide eyes on the wolf across from us. More twigs snapped near the wolf and my eyes widened when another massive wolf that was charcoal grey stepped into my line of sight. Tommy stood frozen in pure fear as we stared at the wolves. I gulped and stood defensively in front of Tommy.
“G..Go AWAY!”
I shouted at the wolves with as much courage as I could muster. The wolves tilted their heads and their eyes seemed to glint with amusement. I gulped again as the first wolf took a step closer to us.
“Tom-Tom…go..”
I whispered leaning my head slightly to the side trying to get him to move.
He began to slowly back away as the first wolf took another step towards us. The wolf was at the other bank of the stream by the time Tommy had turned around. I kept my eyes focused of the wolves intent on following after Tommy. I stopped moving when an intense pain shot all over my body. I let out a cry of pain causing the wolf to stop walking closer. I gasped as it felt like my lungs were on fire. Both of the wolves tilted their heads as my knees hit the ground.
“AAAHH!”
I screamed out as my whole body began feeling like it was set on fire. The first wolf sniffed the air and then tilted its head again looking confused. I could hear Tommy calling for me.
“G…Get MOM!”
I managed to holler out to him before another wave of pain hit. My head felt like it was going to explode and I started seeing black dots. I heard screaming, but didn’t register who it was coming from. The wolves had sat down and were just staring. My breathing quickened just before everything went dark. I don’t know how long I was out for, but when my eyes opened I was still by the stream.
The wolves sat there staring with what looked like shock on their faces. I let out a low whine as my body hurt terribly. I tried to stand up but wobbled and fell over. I winced when I hit the grass and closed my eyes for a few more minutes. I felt a soft nudge against my side and opened my eyes to see the chocolate colored wolf with its snout gently pressing my side. I looked into it’s golden eyes and wondered if this was were I would die. I opened my mouth to speak but all that came out was a strange sound. I was confused about what had happened. Was I already dead? I looked down to see two paws instead of my hands. I blinked in confusion while I took in the sight of paws. I noticed that there was black up the leg part to a certain point that made it look like socks, but the rest was white. I looked back up at the wolf with confusion swirling in my eyes. The wolf pressed his snout against my side again helping me to stand. I blinked after he scooted back and I stood on my own. I slowly walked towards the stream and looked down into the water. I was surprised to see the face of a fox with shining emerald eyes. The fox was white with black tipped ears and one eye had a black ring around it. I leaned closer towards the water until my nose touched the surface. I pulled back and scrunched my nose while shaking my head slightly. The wolves both continued to stare at me.
Confusion swirled through my mind as I tried to process what happened. I felt like my eyes would bulge out of my head when the first wolf shifted into a tall human man in front of me. I looked away when I realized he was naked. I heard a chuckle before I heard him walk towards a tree and pull something out.
“Little One, you can look now”
The man said with a chuckle. I looked up and had to crane my head to an uncomfortable angle because the man was so tall. He smiled as he looked down at me with his chocolate colored eyes. He sat down as the charcoal grey wolf moved behind a tree and shifted as well. I sat back and looked down as something moved under me. I saw the white tail with a black tip moving side to side slowly. I tilted my head before I realized it was my own tail. Another noise caused me to pop my head up looking as another man came into view. He sat next to the first man and looked at me with silvery grey eyes.
“Wow, a fox shifter..”
He said as he looked my way. I tilted my head to the side still confused. Both men smiled at me before the first one spoke again.
“Little One, you don’t have to be afraid of us. We are werewolves and you are a fox shifter. Also known as a Kistune. Did your parents not explain this to you?”
He asked. I felt a deep sadness when he mentioned my parents and shook my head no. The man frowned
“I wonder why they let you alone if you were so close to your first shift”
He rubbed his chin as he spoke. I felt tired after a few more minutes and a huff of breath left my mouth. The men both looked at me before the second one took off the shirt he had put on.
“You need to think of being a human to shift back.”
He said as he tossed the shirt towards me. I nodded and thought hard about what my human body looked like.
After some painful moments I was finally back to being my 10 year old self again. I looked at my hands in surprise then grabbed the overly large shirt. I pulled it over my head and let it fall down my body. It ended just below my knees causing me to smile a little. I yawned as I looked at the men again.
“Th…thank you..”
I said softly just before another big yawn left my lips. I could hear Tommy opening the back door of the house and calling for Mom.
“Not a problem, Little One.”
The men said at the same time. I let out a small laugh.
“I am Beta Cornelius and this is my eldest son Brayden. Who might you be?”
The first and asked. I smiled as I answered honestly
“I am Valerian.”
They both smiled at me widely.
“How come you did not shift at home with your family, Little One?”
Beta Cornelius asked. I looked at him with a mix of sadness and confusion plastered on my face.
“I didn’t know I could do that..”
I said truthfully. Beta Cornelius frowned
“How old are you?”
He asked me. I smiled as I replied
“I just turned 10 today!”
I exclaimed happily. His eyes widened along with Brayden’s eyes.
“You just turned 10?”
He asked with shock clear in his voice. I nodded and smiled wide.
“Happy Birthday, Little One.”
Beta Cornelius smiled as he spoke.
“Thank you!”
I said with an even wider smile.
“Did your parents not tell you what you are?”
He asked me. I looked down into the water of the stream as I thought about my real mom and dad.
“My real parents died when I was five.”
I said softly as pain filled my heart at the memory. Beta Cornelius and Brayden both let out a gasp.
“I’m sorry for your loss, Little One”
Beta Cornelius said softly. I looked back up at him knowing pain would be showing in my eyes.
“I live with the firefighter that saved me that night.”
I said honestly letting my thankfulness spill into my voice.
“He and Mom took me in. Tommy is my older brother now.”
I said. I heard as Mom, Dad, and Tommy quickly made their way to where I was at. Beta Cornelius and his son Brayden looked up just as they came through the trees.
“There you are Valerian! Are you alright?”
Mom asked with a worried filled voice. I smiled at her and nodded. Dad glared at Beta Cornelius
“Who are you and what are you doing with my son?”
He asked gruffly. Beta Cornelius smiled and stood up. He put a hand out towards Dad in an offer to shake it.
“Hello. I am Beta Cornelius. My son Brayden and I were on patrol and came across your boys here. You have such a brave son there Sir.”
He said with a smile. Dad put his hand out and shook Beta Cornelius’s hand.
“Thank you. I’m Hank, this is my wife, Lola. My sons Tommy and Valerian.”
Dad said before stepping back.
“I’m sorry if they crossed into pack territory.”
Dad said causing Beta Cornelius to smile wider.
“Not at all Hank. They were on your side, but did you know that Valerian is not a human?”
He asked Dad. Dad looked at me just now realizing I was only wearing Brayden’s shirt.
“No. I did not. We only got him into our custody five years ago when his parents were killed by a fire.”
Dad said honestly as he scooped me into his arms. I let out a loud yawn feeling extremely tired.
“You have a special boy there Hank. He isn’t a wolf. He is an Arctic Fox shifter. I think he may be the last of his kind.”
Beta Cornelius said causing Dad to look down at me. I yawned again and snuggled my head into his chest.
“You will have to be careful that no one sees him.”
Beta Cornelius warned. Dad stared at me before looking at Beta Cornelius again.
“He shifted?”
Dad asked as my eyes began to close.
“He did indeed. Caused me quite the scare when he started screaming.”
Beta Cornelius let out a chuckle when he spoke.
“He will be fine, he will just need to rest.”
He said before turning to leave.
“It was nice to meet you, Little One. I hope we shall cross paths again.”
Beta Cornelius said before he left with Brayden following close behind.

Mating The EMT Future Mates
Two years had passed since my tenth birthday. I hadn’t shifted since then and most days we all forgot about it. I decided to sit by the stream behind the house. I walked into the tree line and to the stream. I smiled as I took a seat near the edge of the water. Tommy, Mom, and Dad had all gone to town to get something. I didn’t mind being alone since there was never any danger. I kicked my sneakers off then took my socks off and dipped my toes into the water. I let out a content sigh as the sun shone down on me. I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds of nature that surrounded me. A snap of a twig had me snapping my eyes open. I stared at the tree line on the other side of the stream. I arched an eyebrow and sat in silence waiting to see if anything came out. After moments passed with no sound I shrugged and closed my eyes again. I heard laughter coming from somewhere in the trees on the other side. I was curious, but didn’t want to get in trouble for wandering
Mating The EMT A Birthday To Forget
“So you knew Cornelius?” Alpha Tiberius asked me after a few moments of silence. I focused my emerald eyes on him and nodded. A shooting pain in my left wrist caused me to look at it. There was a heavy white cast around it. Doc watched as I stared at it. I looked up at Doc to ask him my question. “Is it broken?” I asked him. “Yes, it is. Your wrist was snapped in two places, but you should heal just fine. I would say a few weeks or months since you are a shifter.” He said with a frown. I nodded as he spoke, but remained quiet. Brayden spoke up next causing me to look at him. “Little One, Why did you not go home?” He asked me. “I just had a bad feeling and then I smelt blood.”
Mating The EMT Brayden Died
*Jax P.O.V*“Jax, I don’t think he has the strength to stand.”Alpha said just before Valerian’s head fell back. I put my hand out and caught it before it hit the wall. I didn’t care who saw or how funny it would look as I bent down to pick him up. I locked my right arm under his knees and my left just behind his neck. He had dark bruises on his neck in the shape of a hand. I was angry that someone had hurt him. He was covered in blood, but I didn’t think it was his own. I knew some of it was Brayden’s. My heart clenched in sorrow at the thought of my brother. I shook just a little as I stood up and pulled him close to my chest. I turned towards where Doc and Armand stood watching me.“Let me carry him Jax.”Alpha Tiberius said. I shook my head no and took a step forward being careful to not step in
Mating The EMT First Kiss
*Valerian’s P.O.V.* I woke up the next morning feeling something heavy laying around my stomach. I opened my eyes and they landed on the arm that was strewn across me. I went to lift my head, but knocked it into something sharp. I winced hoping I didn’t hurt the person. I felt the person stir and tilted my head upwards to see who it was. My eyes felt like they would shoot out of my head when I saw Jax laying there. I knew he kept calling me future mate, but I was still startled to see him. The golden rays of the sun shone through the window and onto his sleeping face. I could see the dried tear streaks on his cheeks and frowned. It took me a moment before my sleep hazed brain remembered that Brayden died yesterday. My heart let out a beat filled with apang of sorrow. I silently slipped out from under Jax’s arm and rolled so I could get off the bed. I quietly slipped into the attached bathroom an
Mating The EMT Happy Birthday
***Time Skip to 1 year later****Valerian’s P.O.V.*It was my thirteenth birthday now. Dad, Mom, Tommy and I were currently watching Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs in the movie theater. I let my mind wander when the cheeseburgers fell from the sky and thought how that would be cool to have food actually do that. I barely registered the movie ending as Tommy stood up. I followed after them all as we walked the city strip to go to the restaurant down the street. I really missed the town I had grown up in, but after everything that happened last year we had moved. I thought back to my last day in our old town. I had been sitting on the roof of the hospital the night before and gotten my first kiss. Jax’s face flashed across my mental images and I blushed as I remembered that kiss. I shook my head as we entered the restaurant. We got a booth seating and I chose to slid in so I could lean against t
Mating The EMT Choir Audition
I woke up the next morning and got ready for school I slipped into a white button down shirt with black dress pants. Over the shirt I put on a black vest and then grabbed my brown and white polka dot tie to put on. I left the top buttons of my shirt undone and pushed the tie I under it. I smiled as I looked into the mirror before styling my hair. I picked up my new phone and looked up Kurt Hummel from Glee to make sure my outfit matched his to the best I could. I smiled at my reflection and put my shoes on that matched it. I know most boys my age were into sports and checking out girls, but I found that I was more like Kurt. I liked fashion and making sure my clothes were stylish and matching. I also planned to join our school choir when the auditions came up next month. I could never be Kurt Hummel or the actor that played him, but I could at least look similar. I took one last glance in the mirror before picking up my book bag and heading downstairs. When I got downstairs Mom was
Mating The EMT Fang, The Bully
*Jax P.O.V.* I had the best night last night when I got to eat dinner with Valerian. My heart felt happy and I couldn’t imagine a better dinner. I kissed him before we left and smiled all the way back to the guest house. I wasn’t looking forward to spending the day with Alpha Smith. His youngest son, Fang, was a known bully. I did not like him even before I liked Valerian. I saw the looks him and his friends were giving Valerian while we ate dinner. I knew that I would cause some trouble while I was here. This pack was terribly homophobic. If anyone here were mated to someone of the same gender they would be instantly rejected and the one rejected would be kicked out from the pack. I felt angry and sad for those poor wolves or humans that got rejected, but we weren’t here to change it. I got up early so I could perfect my outfit and my hair. I knew there was a chance to see Valerian today so I wanted to look extra nice. I already knew I didn’t
Mating The EMT Nationals
**1 year time skip***Valerian’s P.O.V.*My fourteenth birthday was only a few days away. I was excited for tomorrow because my choir class had traveled to nationals for the competition. It was being held in a town that I knew very well. I had a lot of the solos since I was the only male and since I could hold a range of notes. My choir class loved me, but I was still bullied. The choir kids were only nice to me when we weren’t around Fang. Ever since the day they beat me up the bullying has gotten worse. I managed to keep it from my family so they wouldn’t worry, but I hated it. I didn’t want to move because Dad had a really great job there and Mom had friends as well as Tommy. I figured I could suffer alone and be just fine. I went and practiced in the ballroom of the hotel we were staying at until it was dinner time. I ate dinner then went to my room. The girls were sharing rooms w

** Tommy’s P.O.V. ** We pulled up to the house in Valerian’s car and parked in the driveway. It was nostalgic to be back here and it caused me to really miss dad. Mom, Morgan, And Jassica had come with me to surprise Valerian. As we approached the house we didn’t know that we would be the ones surprised. We hadn’t seen Valerian in about 6 months at this point, but he had kept in contact. We knew he found his mate and that they spent a lot of time together, but he didn’t tell us that they were that intimate. We opened the door with the spare key and walked inside. The house was quiet until we heard Valerian speak from upstairs. “Fuck” We heard him call out loudly. We were surprised because we had never heard him swear a day in his life. We all made our way up the stairs thinking he might have stubbed his toe against his dresser. We didn’t even think to knock before opening his door and I wished we had. When we walked in Jax was on top of Valerian and they were both naked. I quickly

The smile was still plastered on my face when my eyes took in my beautiful mate under me. When Nakoa took over fully his fox ears and tail had popped out as well. His eyes were sparkling and gleaming just like I had seen emeralds do when Jax had seen them. I lifted one hand and gently trailed a finger down the side of Nakoa’s fox ear. It was really soft and silky. I loved that his fox ears were mostly white, but tipped black on the end and that his tail matched them. He smiled at me and made a purring noise at my touch. I felt my member harden again even though it was still inside of him as I was engulfed in the scene too his arousal.

My words came out between moans as he worked his fingers faster.“Jax…mnm…please?”Was all I managed to say because he hit a spot that sent intense pleasure through my body. His eyes met mine before he nodded and slowly took his fingers out.“Are you sure?”He asked as he nodded and moved s

I ground my hips against his as I kissed down his neck causing him to moan louder. Titus was growling in delight in my mind as I moved my hands to Valerian’s hips. I blocked my mind link to the pack so we wouldn’t be disturbed because I refused to not mate with him tonight.

I was given a few days off work so my injury could heal and I planned to make the most of my time with Jax. After we left Artemis’s room we went to the elevator hand in hand. I was smiling wide and Koa was talking to me in excitement about getting some time alone with our mate. He promised that Jax and I could have first go, but after he was taking over. That made me inwardly chuckle as we stepped into the elevator. Once the elevator doors closed Jax pulled me against him and crushed my lips with his. I let out a moan as he kissed me roughly. He pulled back after a few moments so we could both breath and smirked at me.“My first time will not be in an elevator”I told him with a s

I knew that if I didn’t then he would take over and force us to continue where we left off.~”Val, you are too nice.
