Havermouth, Present TimeThere was a chaos of activity in the morning that woke Meguitte. She woke gritty eyed and dry mouthed, and stared at the table before her blankly before recalling where she was.After the drama of the werewolf attack and rejecting Logan, she had created a spell circle in the warehouse where Tyler and the other vampires were staying and assumed that Samuel had escorted Logan over as she’d felt the magic activate once he was within it.She hadn’t supervised the transfer, too raw and ragged from the rejection, and, instead, had returned to her warehouse and crawled back into Connery’s bedding to cry herself to sleep.She staggered down the stairs in search of the source of the noise, just in time to see Harry and Jules leading the witches and some of the vampires out of the war room. Harry, seeing her, paused, letting the people flow around them until they were alone.“Meguitte,” they said gently cupping her cheek in the palm of their big hand. “You look like shi
Havermouth, Present TimeCameron stood against the wall and watched as Talen and Aislen supervised Phillip’s announcements whilst Heath and Rhett escorted the council members to their rooms. He should help, he thought, but it was a bit intimidating, and no one seemed to need him.“I believe I am free to go?” Connery joined him at the wall, his eyes on the doorway and the two hefty guards that still blocked it. “I don’t want to be here any longer than necessary. Already I’ve left Meguitte alone for too long. She is… somewhat in need of morale support.”“I guess so,” Cameron was dubious, his eyes returning to his mates. Heath and Rhett had returned. “Ten more minutes won’t hurt though, right? Everyone’s pretty busy…”The door opened and Rohan entered looking flustered, before taking the hallway down towards the brig. “Come on,” Cameron pushed away from the wall. “Let’s go see what’s going on?” He led the way across the room and into the hallway, a little thrilled that no one tried to st
Havermouth, Present Time“Come with me,” wasn’t an invitation. Logan took hold of Meguitte’s hand and pulled her towards him. He cupped her face with his other hand and smiled. “That’s better. We will discuss the other nonsense together when we’re back at base,” he told her.“Let’s go,” he released her cheek and strode towards the front of the warehouse, tugging Meguitte along behind him. Lark kept the gun trained on her as the trio of witches fell in behind them, her expression, when Meguitte glanced back at her, grim and pointed - if Meguitte made a move, Lark would shoot her.“To the left, Sparrow,” Dove told him breathlessly.“Thank you, Robyn,” he replied. “How are your injuries?” He added absently as he took the hallway towards the still open side door. “And where is your top?”“They’re getting better,” Dove told him. “I can move my fingers again. Phoenix threw a pot of spell-liquid on Robyn, and she used my top to wipe it off.”“Spell liquid?” Logan glanced down at Meguitte. “W
Havermouth, Present TimeAislen searched her own eyes as she brushed her teeth. Holy f-k, she thought. She’d taken control of an entire roomful of werewolves and taken over a bunker. She spat into the sink. “Holy f-k,” she repeated aloud. “What the f-k are you doing, Aislen?” She asked her reflection.She was still shaking her head and muttering to herself as she stepped out of the bathroom and found Talen waiting for her, sitting casually at the table, his elbow and forearm resting on the wood, and his eyes on her.She paused for a moment automatically. He was so goddamned big, she thought. All her men were tall and muscled, but Talen other levelled it, to the point that the seat that he sat on seemed delicate and small. His thighs stretched the fabric of the cargo pants that he wore to its tolerance, and the knit top was almost indecently skin-tight. She could make out his nipple piercings through the cloth.He’d washed his hair that morning and as a result the ponytail was neat and
Havermouth, Present TimeAs suspected, Harry’s shopping trip had been extensive, and they’d filled a suitcase, still carrying its tags, with clothing for themselves and their werewolf. For a moment, Meguitte let that thought warm through her, the sweetness of Harry having someone that they cared for so thoughtfully, and then she helped herself to the clothing that she thought would fit Connery and that he wouldn’t find too horrendous – settling mostly for black, because she was certain Connery wasn’t the plaid sort.Her theft revealed some other items that Harry had put into the suitcase. Lube, and lots of it, condoms, an eye-mask, and rope. She put them back at the bottom and smothered her giggles as she returned to the room that she shared with Connery.“What reason would two supernatural people with penises, who are mates, have for condoms?” She remarked as she entered.Connery had wrapped his blanket around his waist for modesty and stood holding his pillow in his hands, his bewil
Havermouth, Present TimeHeath held the door open for Talen to carry Aislen through. As Talen set her to her feet, Aislen gazed around in amazement. The room seethed with big, muscled men in green, strapping on flak vests and weaponry with a frightening efficiency. Many of their eyes flicked to them as Heath led the way through the crowd, obviously recognising him for who he was, and regarding her and Talen with more curiosity.Rhett and Cameron were strapping into armour, and looked f-king sexy doing so, Aislen thought, even as the fear as to why such armour might be needed iced the pit of her stomach. Rhett looked up from scraping his hair back into a ponytail and saw them, nudging Cameron with his elbow so that his red-haired mate looked up from where he fought with a buckle.“Before you say anything,” Rhett started.“Say what?” Talen raised an eyebrow stepping forward to do up the buckle for Cameron.“About this…” Rhett looked around him, and his jaw set.Heath stepped forward and
Havermouth, Present TimeConnery’s hand stroked a slow line up and down Meguitte’s back. His heartbeat under her cheek and the steady rise and fall of his chest had almost lulled her into a sleep. They had made love three times, intensely greedy lovemaking, exploring and tasting each other, growing bolder each time, discovering the way to touch each other.Just thinking of the sound of his moans at the height of pleasure made her body ache. His c-ck was still within her, and had not softened, and it felt good to be full of him, for him to be simply within her in such a way, just as it felt good to lay over him with his hands tracing the patterns of the scars on her back.“We have lived very full lives, Meguitte,” he said softly. “And there have been many dark moments in them.”“Yes,” her fingers traced the circle of his nipple. “You are wondering about the scars?”“No,” he rolled, taking her under him, and she moaned as the motion rocked his c-ck within her. “I have made it my busines
Havermouth, Present Time“Citizens of Havermouth,” one of the Van Helsings held a megaphone. “You are requested to return to your homes. Your gathering on the streets interferes with the vital work that the NES are undertaking - ”“F-k you!” A woman screamed from the crowd.“What f-king work?” A man yelled. “You’ve f-king done shit all except shoot people and hold us f-king prisoner!”“You are not the NES!” Rohan had his own megaphone. “You are an illegal militia operation that has occupied this region as an act of terrorism against its people. You are ordered to withdraw.”Aislen saw that the cab of the uni-mogs had a circular hatch over the passenger seat, and each now had a man with a gun positioned, aiming towards the Van Helsings, who had come to a standstill, reassessing the situation as they took in both the crowd’s hostility, and the soldiers amongst them.“I repeat!” The Van Helsing with the megaphone said bravely to bluff his way out of the situation. “You are requested to r
Havermouth, The Present Aislen sat on the bench seat of one of the Unimogs whilst Talen and the Heath met with Rohan. There were lot of hand signals gesturing beyond the destruction of the farm and solemn expressions on their faces. When she looked up, she could see that Rhett and Cameron were busy helping to carry injured to the waiting vehicles and that the vampires and werewolf soldiers were destroying what remained of the farm’s buildings, ensuring that there was no way that the Van Helsings could return and continue to use the site. The crashing and shouting as they tore the buildings to pieces was giving Aislen a headache and she paused in her poetry writing to pinch her brows. “Here,” Bianca climbed nimbly up the Unimog’s ladder and offered Aislen a bottle of water and two pills. “Paracetamol. You’ve been sitting here rubbing at your head, so I know you’ve got a headache.” “Thanks,” Aislen took the pills and washed them back with the water. “Ah shit,” she said after she’d sw
Havermouth, The PresentRhett and Heath shifted into human form and the Triquetra threw their arms around each other and him, their hands smearing mud and blood onto each other unheeding in their relief that all four had made it through unscathed. Over Heath’s shoulder, Talen saw Morgana slip and slide through the mud, her cheeks streaked with tears as she saw them, and he held out a hand, welcoming her in, the Triquetra pulling her into the center of the embrace.It was where she belonged, Talen thought as he leaned his face into her hair and breathed the scent of his female mate into his lungs. Morgana had always been the center, the heart of their family, the piece that made the rest of them make sense together.“Everyone’s in one piece,” she pivoted slowly round the circle of her men, inspecting each for injury, smearing away blood and mud with her hands in order to make sure that they didn’t hide wounds below.“We’re fine. We are fine,” Heath laughed wetly. “Really, Aislen, we’re
Havermouth, The PresentTalen kept watch as Harry set the explosives under the last of the guns. Of all five machine gun stations, this one was the most exposed, and Talen could feel the prickle of stress sweat between his shoulder blades. They had debated leaving this one completely and hoping that the explosions from the other stations would be enough, but the Van Helsings on duty there had been called to help load a helicopter that was waiting to take off, leaving the station as an open invitation for sabotage.When Harry eased out from under the station and slunk through the shadows to Talen’s side, the relief dragged through Talen’s muscles like the heavy refractory period after sex. He was exhausted, and that terrified him as he knew that the battle was ahead. Get through it, he told himself. Win this battle, and then take your mates to the river house, as Cameron had suggested, for three days and nights of f-king and feasting upon his mates as he turned them.It would be bliss.
Havermouth, The PresentIt was one thing to ride a Unimog through town, and another to travel on one long distance for over an hour, Aislen thought grimly. She was certain that most of her bones had been shaken loose and that when she eventually did stand up, she’d collapse in a jumble of limbs like in a cartoon. She’d been trying to work on another Secret Keeper post, working in a notebook that she’d stolen from one of the desks in the bunker, but her handwriting was so shaky that she wasn’t sure she’d be able to read it afterwards.She also wasn’t sure if she was being optimistic in it’s message.However, if she wasn’t writing, then she had to focus on what was happening around her, where they were going, and the fact that they had to be getting close, and there still was no sign of Talen. Was he okay? She would know, wouldn’t she? She asked herself. If something had happened to him, she was sure that she would feel it somehow, like a wound to her heart.“He’s fine,” she said out lo
Havermouth, The PresentThe farm’s vegetable gardens had been trampled underfoot, without any care for the vegetables and fruits left unharvested, the Van Helsings having abandoned any pretence of the site being anything other than what it was – a military facility. Entrance into the farm from the main road was controlled by guards and cement roadblocks, however, away from the public side of the farm, the security relaxed. There were flood lights set at key points, but their focus was inward and in daylight, they had been turned off.One field contained neat rows of tents, and a portable shower and toilet building which was in use as Harry and Talen crept around it’s edges, someone singing an atrocious rendition of a popular love song as they showered.It made Talen pause, hearing that singer, and a fury began to burn in the pit of his stomach. The Van Helsings at this site were so at ease, so comfortable, that they sang in the shower, where he and his mates had spent nearly every mom
Havermouth, The PresentHeath woke to discover that he had slept through Talen leaving and that pissed him off as whilst he recognized the vampire’s seniority and experience, Heath was faster and stronger, and he felt that it just made sense for him to be included in the mission, and that if anyone should have been left behind, it should have been Harry.Sigrid and her Triquetra had control of the bunker by the time Heath’s Triquetra left their room with Aislen. They met briefly in the room and ran over the sparse information that Talen had given to Cameron and Rohan before his departure and to try to piece together a plan of attack with Rohan – something which was difficult as they had no idea the total size of Haven Farm, and Heath could only roughly sketch the areas that he had been admitted to when visiting Charlotte, and on the times he’d been on the escorted tour.None of the maps that they had showed property boundaries, and even Sigrid’s Triquetra’s fancy toys didn’t have any
Havermouth, The PresentTalen slipped out of the bed when the wait staff arrived in the morning, pulling on yesterday’s trousers in order to open the door and pressing his fingers to his lips to indicate that they should be quiet as they delivered the breakfast and clothing. He admired the efficiency of the bunker, despite the disruption to the leadership everything continued to run like clockwork and thanked the staff quietly as they departed.He showered quickly and dressed in the clean clothing, before creeping back out into the main living area.Cameron looked up from the table. “You’re up early.”“Shh,” Talen placed his finger on his lips as he checked to make sure that Cameron had closed the bedroom door behind him. “You should be asleep, Cameron,” he said quietly as he crossed to ruffle the werewolf alpha’s russet curls.“I smelled pancakes,” Cameron told him with a bright smile as he uncovered them. “Ahhh,” he sighed in satisfaction. “Would you just look at that? Blueberry pre
Havermouth, The PresentHeath rose from the bed as Rhett lifted Cameron’s face to his and kissed him, pushing Cameron’s hand away from his c-ck so that he could take hold of it, causing Cameron to moan into the kiss as Rhett stroked him.Talen released, Morgana’s leg, leaning over to suck on the nipple that was exposed as she lowered her knee to the mattress. He teased the tips with his teeth, knowing that the pinch of the clip would make them sensitive, and slid his hand down her stomach to rub against her clit as Heath positioned himself.“Would you like some Edison brand lube?” Rhett’s grin was wicked. He had wrapped his arm around Cameron, holding his redhaired mate by the throat, just under the jaw, and Cameron’s face was slack with pleasure as Rhett’s other hand jerked his c-ck viscously.“Hmm,” Talen laughed through his nose. “Go on then,” he encouraged them. Cameron would have time to recover from the orgasm and be good for a second round before the night was through, he predi
Havermouth, The PresentThe moment the door opened; Rhett jerked Aislen to face him, his eyes intense. “Play time,” he growled his wolf shading the amber of his irises with an oily sheen of green and gold. He pulled her top up and off her without breaking their gazes, and then lifted his own top up slowly in a delicious display of tattooed skin and muscle made more striking by his leanness.Heath and Cameron fell in behind him, assuming the Triquetra formation that she had seen them take so many times, an unconscious werewolf move, hunters stalking their prey, and she caught her bottom lip between her teeth as she backed towards the bedroom, Rhett keeping pace with her, the distance between them precise, his eyes locked on hers.Talen closed the door behind them and strolled nonchalantly towards the kitchenette.Rhett unbuttoned his trousers, his c-ck pushing against the fly so that the teeth opened little by little with every throb. “Undress, Aislen,” he purred the words, his smirk w
