Havermouth, Present Time

“You told me about him, and how you’d loved him,” Cameron finished. “So, it’s not really a surprise that you ended up with Harry.”

Jules leaned against the fence post, looking out into the field of Saxon Merinos. It was odd, he thought, that he could remember that this small herd was an investment he and Cameron had made after careful consideration as Saxon Merinos were good in hilly territories, like his farm, and so the intention had been to paddock them there – but he could not remember moving them to Cameron’s house paddock and he could not remember this human man that his son had told him he’d loved before marrying Cameron’s mother.

It might not have been a surprise to Cameron, but finding out about this lover from his son had been to Jules. He pushed the thought back and just nodded.

“You moved the sheep?” He changed the topic of conversation as he looked over at Cameron. His night vision picked out Cameron’s face against the backdrop of the night dark g

What a beautiful chapter. Jules is such a deep thinker. Obviously where Cameron gets his consideration from.

    Havermouth, Present TimeTalen heard them coming up the stairs and as waiting by the open double doors into the playroom, braced in the doorframe, his bulk blocking entry. He was shirtless, barefoot, and his jeans were open at the fly. His hair had grown, Aislen thought, its ends now brushing his nipples, the piercings glinting through the strands.His smile was slow and smouldering as they approached, and Aislen felt a wave of desire burn through her. “Fuck me,” she fanned her face with her hand. “I’m not sure which one of us went the most weak-kneed to see you half naked and doing a door-lean like that, Daddy, but all three of us turned into hormonal cum-puddles.”Talen’s chuckle was rich. “You know the rules,” he said. “Undress at the door.”“You breaking the rules Daddy?” Rhett teased, even as he began to pull his top off over his head.“I’m making the rules, brat,” Talen corrected. “Safe words?”“R & G,” Aislen toed off her shoes. “What’s Heath up to?”“Oh,” Talen’s smirk turned

    New BeginningsHavermouth, Present TimeTom tested the window, making sure it was locked before pulling across the curtains. “Not really a secure, safe place,” he said in disapproval. “With the weapons the Mer use they could be in the room in seconds before we get a chance to react.”“We’re far off the main roads,” Greg was patient as he folded his shirt and added it to the pile of clothing on the chair at the foot of the bed. “In the middle of farmland. The Mer focus on populated areas from what we can tell. They won’t waste their energy on a single farmhouse.”“Even if it’s right by the river?” Tom arched an eyebrow. “The only water source this far inland, and they’re Mer?”“Sleep with a gun on the nightstand if you must,” Sigrid ran the brush through her hair. “If it makes you feel safer.”“It’s not about me feeling safer,” Tom was insulted. “It’s about keeping you safe.”“My darling,” Sigrid started as she set the brush down.“I know, I know,” Tom said automatically, holding his h

  • The Pack's Emissary   Spice Is Nice

    Havermouth, Present TimeAislen watched as Talen led Cameron across the floor on his hands and knees, and then up onto the foot of the bed. “Sit there like a good puppy,” he commanded Cameron sternly.Cameron slid Aislen a look from the corner of his eye as he made himself comfortable on the bed. With Heath and Rhett, the play had always been focused on where their kinks overlapped, Heath’s need for control, Rhett’s cum play, and Cameron’s desire to be used and taken into sub-space. Although their equipment included collars and leashes, they’ve never ventured into puppy play.Cameron wasn’t sure he would like it. It seemed too corny being a werewolf, and a bit of a poor substitute to being in his wolf form. Why play at being a puppy, when you could transform into a wolf?“Good boy,” Talen praised him as he arranged pillows against the headboard. He set three dildos and three butt plugs on the mattress before standing back to admire his display, his eyes roaming over Heath, Rhett, and

She peeled the bracelets off her wrist and set them on the glossy polished surface of the dresser without taking her eyes from his reflection. He sat in the chair to remove his shoes and looked up at her when she didn’t reply.“I have… reservations,” she admitted in answer to his raised eyebrow. “It is… wrong to give the Mer Leighton. I know,” she said as his expression shifted. “I know. And I… I agree. He’s not been honest with us. He has not helped us as much as he could. His focus has been on his own goals. And he made a selfish choice – a racist choice in a way – in how he chose to pursue immortality for Verina…” She trailed off and pulled out her earrings to cover.“And?” Connery went still.“He made me uncomfortable in the aether,” she said reluctantly. “I believe you Connery, I do.

It somehow felt right that they’d do the morning together. “Did you sleep okay?”“Fantastic,” Jules stood and stretched before scratching his stomach. “Let’s do our chores, and then hurry back, hey? Might get everything done before anyone wakes up.”They walked to the shed together through the chill of pre-dawn morning, navigating the way with ease due to their night sight. The slide of the galvanized iron door on its runner was overloud and disturbed the birds in the trees who twittered complaints as they judged whether it was actually time to wake up or not.As they carried the hay bale by its twine over to the fence and threw it over to

  • The Pack's Emissary   Stella Scries Aislen

    Havermouth, Present TimeAislen was brushing her teeth when she felt the energy shift around her. Someone was scrying her. There was a slim chance that it was one of the local covens, but since she’d snuck off post winning back Havermouth from the Van Helsings, and then left for Rideten, the local covens were used to referring to Abigail or Sigrid for instruction, so she doubted it. With Bianca dead, that really only left one person. “Aislen my dear.”Yep. Nailed it, Aislen thought as she spat into the sink. Technically she didn’t have to talk out loud, so could have kept brushing her teeth, but having a mouthful of foam just wasn’t dignified and she felt like she needed some dignity to deal with this particular conversation. “Stella. I have heard you were back in Havermouth.”“And yet you have not come to see me?” Stella’s reply held a motherly reprimand. “I have been expecting you.”“I only got in myself yesterday. I needed some time to scrub up. Got caught on the edge of the Mer a

    Havermouth, Present TimeNiarthen was keeping human time as there was no Mer party waiting on the bridge when they drove into town. There was nothing at all in fact - no people, no cars. It was like walking into an old Cowboy movie at noon when a shootdown was anticipated by the locals. Aislen would not have been surprised to see tumbleweed roll down the main street.The mental noise, however, let her know that the street and buildings weren’t as empty as they appeared. It did not take much, once she knew where to look for them, to spot the werewolf soldiers positioned in the crenelations of the rooftops and upper windows of the shops.As Aislen closed the car door behind her, a shadow dragged over the ground, and she looked up. Samuel’s outline was dramatic against the blue sky. There were no clouds in which for him to hide and so he did not try to, flying low so that the details of wings and tail, the ridges and spikes along his spine, could all be made out.His path took him beyond

    Havermouth, Present Time“Father Isaiah,” Aislen repeated. “I met your protégé Sparrow.”“And I killed him,” Talen added with a dangerous grin that revealed his sharper teeth.“Ah,” Isaiah lifted his chin. “I had wondered how he died.” There was a glint in his eye. He had known that Sparrow was dead, or else his one-time apprentice would have come after him. It had been on his orders, after all, that Sparrow had been locked into a cage to die. Sparrow had been a monster and a failure. Isaiah had terminated an unsuccessful experiment.“Technically, Talen terminated the experiment,” Aislen corrected. “But, anyway, Niarthen, we should move inside,” she had an itchy feeling between her shoulders, and the mental image of dozens of scopes focusing on the group, fingers itchy on triggers. “There are snipers on the rooves, not,” she added hastily as the Mer shifted their weight warily. “Against you, but for your protection. The attacks have killed many people - family of those in this town. W

    “Mine,” Rhett caught Aislen by the shoulders and turned her, pulling her body flush with his so that he could seal his mouth over hers and steal away Heath’s cum from her tongue. “Hmm,” he said as he eased back and used the tip of his little finger to wipe the corner of her mouth. “Delicious.”“This is going to take some finessing,” Talen said as Rhett stepped away so that Talen could take his place. The big, blonde man very gently stroked Aislen’s hair back out of her face before his hand strayed to the Concordian collar around her neck. He straightened it. “It has been a while since we have done this.”“Done what, Daddy?” She asked him and then gasped as Rhett picked her up and deposited her on the bed, straddling Heath’s hips and facing him. Suddenly the way that he was tied made a lot of sense, the space between his legs made room for someone to kneel between them, and the sex pillow beneath his hips would position Aislen at the right height for a man behind and one in front. “Oh

    Aislen’s eyes adjusted to the darkness inside the Playroom with supernatural quickness and she smothered her laughter as she saw what Talen had been up to. The bed had been looped with Christmas fairy lights, tinsel, and red bows that held candy canes in place. As they neared, Talen activated the fairly lights so that the room, and its many sordid toys, flashed and flickered in shades of red and green - as did the two men already on the bed.Cameron wore a body harness similar to her own. It was on full display as he knelt on the end of the bed, his arms tied to the bedframe above his head, and a candy cane tied with ribbon as a gag. Talen, as a nod to the season, had used a red ribbon to tie a bow around Cameron’s cock. Tinsel had been draped around his neck like a feather boa.Heath was stretched out on the bed behind him, his arms spread and bound to the headboard, and his knees bent, heels to arse, and restrained there with ribbon that circled his ankles and looped around his wais

    As Heath steered the car back out of Havermouth, Aislen watched the town pass by her window. It was both familiar and foreign, with the influence of the Mer seen in the repairs to the old buildings and the ever-increasing amount of greenery spilling over the walls from roof-top gardens.The way people dressed and interacted on the streets had changed too, with more and more people adopting the toga-like styles of the Mer clothing. Aislen caught a glimpse of Anne Mason talking with a group of tall intrigued looking Mers, and she wore multiple strings of the Mer’s bead and shell necklaces and bracelets as she smiled and gestured animatedly at the street around them.“I wonder what Anne is up to,” she remarked to Heath. “She looks like she’s leading a tour of the town. That’s probably what it is,” she answered herself. “She’d be good at that role.”“Do you miss it?” Heath asked her.“The telepathy?” She knew what he meant. “Yes and no. This is sort of cool,” she used her telekinesis to l

    Cameron had baby-napped Gera for a day on the farm with her grandparents Harry and Jules, and so Heath and Aislen were travelling light to Havermouth.“Feels weird,” Heath said what Aislen was thinking. “Not hearing her in the back seat, and not having to lug around the baby bag in case she poops or pukes. I think we should have another.”“What?” Aislen’s jaw dropped. That last comment had come out of nowhere.“Another baby,” he smirked enjoying her reaction. “Gera’s six months old now, and I think we’re ready to add to our family.”“I’m not precisely preventing it,” she pointed out. “I’m not on any contraception, and I’m constantly leaking enough second-hand cum that I could probably repopulate the entire planet with a turkey baster.”“I know,” his smirk became a grin. “I’m just saying, if you were pregnant, it would be a good thing, wouldn’t it?”“Hang on now,” she narrowed her eyes at him. There was something to his teasing. “What are you getting at precisely?”“I’m just saying, yo

    Aislen woke to Gera crying. She blinked as her eyes adjusted to the dark within Cameron’s room. It was night, but she couldn’t tell how far into it from the moonlight that drifted in through the part in Cameron’s curtains. Cameron was well out, snoring into the pillow, and she eased out from under his arm carefully so as not to wake him.Cameron had been working crazy hours, pretty much seven days a week, since the war trying to bring the two farms back to where they were before the storm, and to incorporate all the changes required for farming to be done by Mer environmental standards, which dictated everything from the way the sheep and cattle were treated for parasites through to run off from fields into the river.She stole the robe that hung of the back of his door as she tiptoed out of the room, easing the door closed behind her. Gera’s outrage had softened to gentle complaint which she traced to the kitchen. Heath, in a pair of striped PJ pants, was heating a bottle of blood, w

    Rhett and Gera had attracted a horde of admirers in Rhett’s tattoo parlor and Aislen and Heath stood on the sidewalk watching him show off their daughter to his customers through the window, until someone pointed them out to them, and Rhett looked up, still grinning, his eyes bright with joy, and his cheeks heated as he realized he’d been busted.“Just look at him,” Heath scoffed his tone warm with amusement. “Bet he’s lying about doing the night duty all by himself again.”“He does get up a fair bit,” Aislen smiled up at him.“Yeah, but he complains about it like it’s the end of the world, and he doesn’t tell them that,” Heath nodded with his head towards the group saying goodbye to the baby. “I do most of the nights.”“And Cameron the early mornings,” Aislen reminded him.“He’s usually getting up then anyway,” Heath pointed out. “He’s half-rooster, up at dawn to wake us all up.”Aislen smothered her giggles.“What are you laughing at?” Rhett asked as he joined them. “Good timing, by

    It was a very unusual Christmas Tree, but that was hardly surprising as it was a very different Havermouth. The new Havermouth Council was made up equally of all members of the community, and the tree represented the unification of these communities. Therefore, the tree had been carefully transplanted into the park, and was draped with bioluminescent strings of seaweed, crowned with a full moon, and hung with antique hand-carved toys and delicate ornaments made of gold and silver wire and what Aislen believed to be real gems, donated from the safes and other treasure vaults of the several hundred vampires that now called Havermouth home.In the old Havermouth, these gem-crusted ornaments would have disappeared within a day, however in the new Havermouth theft was not a problem. The police force included vampires and werewolves, and it had only taken a couple of demonstrations of their tracking abilities for thieves to learn to mend their ways.Aislen clapped along with the crowd as Ty

  • The Pack's Emissary   Isn’t That Interesting?

    Havermouth, Present TimeThe journey to the river house was slow. Thanks to Sigrid’s roadblocks and the damage from the Mer. They also encountered many groups of people just standing on the road, talking in confusion. No one could quite understand what had happened, and no one was entirely confident that it was the end.Gera, true to form, had woken wanting to be fed, and so Aislen held the baby in her arms and watched out through the windows as they passed along the river road towards the bridge. “We’re a long way from done,” she said softly.“Yes,” Talen agreed. “But still, I feel as if we are far closer to peace, and I find myself optimistic and excited about the future before us.”“Me too,” Cameron agreed. “But that’s also how it feels when Aislen does her thing in your brain, so it could be that too.”“We haven’t really talked about that,” Heath added. “About what happened, Aislen?”“It’s hard to explain,” she said looking down at Gera and tracing the curve of the baby’s cheek wit

    Havermouth, Present TimeDown the hallway enough for the stink of the torture room and the crunch and slurp of Mercy’s meal to be less nauseating, they formed a huddle, with Sigrid, Greg, Niarthen and Lyric in the centre, discussing what they had seen, and what the Mer would do next.Aislen leaned her cheek against Heath’s shoulder, exhausted. She wanted nothing more than to shower for a really long time, put on something that wasn’t coarse and itchy, and sleep. Heath put his arm around her absently, his attention on the discussion. She wanted to tell him that the world needed to take care of itself for a while, she had done her best for it, and it was time for her to sleep.“I can’t believe that she ate him,” Dan was seriously grossed out, Aislen could tell, although he kept his voice to a whisper.“I know,” Tom replied from the corner of his mouth, his eyes on Sigrid and Greg as they spoke with Niarthen. “Did you see the look on his face? He was just as surprised as we were.”“Will
