Wolves at the Lycan's Door Kiera's Confession
James returned to his office in the study. It was small and cramped, there wasn’t any privacy for him or Keith. So it didn’t take long for Keith to mention something. “So, having a bad day?” “You can say that.” “And it’s barely past breakfast time.” “You had to go there.” “You chose to mate with her. Want to talk about it? I heard something about you putting one of our new members in the healing centre. What happened?” Keith knew exactly what had happened soon after it had happened. He wanted James to vent on something other than himself because that’s when he did his best problem solving. “He got handsy with Trisha. How screwed up is that? He’s barely a member, and he put his paws on his Luna, my mate. I have to make sure everyone knows she’s mine, and she’s, their Luna. This is ridiculous and I feel we missed something in his background check.” “I’ll get someone on it. What are they looking for?” “I feel he’s done this before. He t
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Listening In Surprises
James listened to Trisha’s call to one of her friends. If what Kiera was saying and what he knew about what they found there. That body may have been a man who claimed to be a father to both himself and Dean. True or not, that complicates a lot of things. The girls discussed it so thoroughly that he and Keith only needed a look to be on the same page. The black market ring for shifter blood and now they assumed Lycan was in the wind. As was the local Lycan appeared to be. “I can’t sit on this, can’t I?” “Hey, you could have if you hadn’t mated with his sister. Now you can have her angry for listening in on her call, angry at you for not telling her what you found up there, and now you want to tell her brother where his potential mate has fled to. Honestly, you made your bed and now you have to sleep with the wrinkles.” “That’s the weirdest twisted screw up on a saying I have ever heard. But I get it. I’m stuck in a catch-22. If I don’t say anything an
Wolves at the Lycan's Door TALKING TO THE RIVAL
“You don’t say…” Oli was chattering on the phone as Dean finished up with the mess. Someone forged the signature of their Alpha on the order or scavenger hunt document. He’d sent a copy of his signature and the two weren’t anything alike. Now Dean finished arranging a trip for the twelve fool pups to his border, where their Alpha’s people would pick them up and take them home for punishment. “Dean. Dean.” Oli put his hands over his phone. “What? I need to finish this.” “Go make sure Kiera is in her apartment. I think this is important.” “What? Now? Of course she’s there. Where would she be?” “Uh… Don’t shoot the messenger. The Jasper Spring’s Beta, Keith, is on the line. He says you both have trouble. Kiera and two other packs are in a vehicle right now and they aren’t in our territory. Trisha’s been talking to them.” “What? That can’t be true. I just left her upstairs.” “Dean, that was five hours ago.” “Really? Crap, she’s not had
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Pin Her Down
James found her staring out of the window into the bright morning sunshine. The day was slowly inching toward noon. Trisha was still on the phone talking to her friends. When Trisha saw him, she said her farewells to them. But James raised his hands, and she stopped. “I need to speak to your friends right now. It’s urgent. Put it on speaker.” “Geez. Would saying please hurt you in someway?” James was getting some seriously mixed emotions from Trisha. “Next time. Right now, we have some very serious problems to discuss.” “Fine. But next time you forget the niceties, I will hang up instead. I’ll hold you to it. Girls, you’re on speaker phone and my mate here wants to tell you something. Go for it.” “I will admit Trisha was correct. Most of the time, I was listening. I’d like to thank you for the information as it’s answered a few questions. The issue I have is with which one of you thought it was smart to take a walking targ
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Ever Changing Plans
Dean watched the second last group of enforcers head out looking for the vehicle. He’d have to thank the Gamma who headed the territory and general pack security. He’d insisted on putting GPS tracking into all their vehicles. From ATV to SUV, they were all tagged. He didn’t trust her not to be smart enough to ditch the tracking device, but right now, he’d make use of it all. He’d hoped not to need to rely on it. But James called again with the outcome and it included Kiera ditching her friends and disappearing alone. He’d be in the last group. Oli would hold down the fort while he dealt with this. Why she thought she was better off alone, he didn’t understand. This was her home, and it always was. Dean knew enough to lay the blame on the feet of Elder Evans. He’d done most of this damage. The rest was Dean’s fault for blindly believing that an elder would be honourable and loyal to him and the pack. That the elder would not use his position to further a twist a
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Dean Pleads His Case
Dean’s vehicle rolled up to the diner’s parking lot and saw the standoff. His enforcers cornered her as she left the diner. He clearly saw her gauging her odds of escape from so many. His vehicle barely stopped before Dean was out of it and walking determinedly toward her. “Kiera, we need to talk. Now.” This wasn’t a tone she’d ever heard from him in all the years she knew him. His tone made it clear he wasn’t asking or pleading, he was stating a fact and there was no way out of it. Dean could see her flight response was in full swing and he needed to lower that without triggering her fight response. This wasn’t a place which would welcome or accept a ‘furry’ incident. Those too often ended in fighting, blood, and property damage. “You resisted understanding, then when you did, you pretended it was all in my head. Now, you want to slap a bandaid here and there. It doesn’t work that way, and you can’t understand because no matter what, it doesn’t aff
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Dean Finally Communicates
Kiera felt weak and cornered by Dean and his enforcers. She felt thwarted by him while feeling relief and a sliver of hope. Hope, she feared, would end up being misplaced. She thought he’d lose patience and cut his losses by ending whatever game he was playing by now. He hadn’t; he doubled down on his beliefs and his story. Kiera tried to ignore and later resist his presence. But she felt an attraction she’d failed to pick up on before and she couldn’t understand why. To Kiera, this was as confusing as tasting chocolate and bacon for the first time. Disturbing described her feelings. While her thoughts took her full attention, Dean eased closer and closer to her. “Were you really running away to search for answers?” Dean thought this was something he least expected. He’d assumed she was running away from him out of fear, or maybe hatred. He thought James made that up to mess with his head. “Clearly something is going on and if I want some peace o
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Driving Things Home
Kiera wasn’t sure what he said, or did that made her feel like she’d been lulled into a trance where she did as he wanted her to do. It felt like she could only give up at this point. Dean proved he could and would hunt her down when she left. His story never changed, and he’d been repeating it along with his assurances that it wasn’t changing. They were mates and he no longer schemed to use her as the butt of his jokes. That there’d be no more games where he competed with James to be the bigger, badder, and best alpha. What James told her in front of witnesses is the exact things Dean repeated to her face. His enforcers were there to witness it. He may not have bitten her like James did Trisha. Dean announced his intentions for her before them, and Kiera practically watched the enforcers’ faces take note and their attitudes change as Dean spoke. But she wasn’t a wolf shifter anymore. She was now a Lycan. A twisted mockery of a wolf shifter. Kiera wondered

Wolves at the Lycan's Door Epilogue
- One Year Later -Kiera stood watching a group of lone wolves returning to a pack. Many were raised for generations outside of pack life. But things change, situations change. These wolves are literally come in out of the cold, unprotected woods and their pack was opening their arms to them.It divided humans as always on what they thought about supernatural creatures. If nothing else, there were very few humans that didn’t care one way or the other.These wolves were coming in from other places in the world where the humans made it impossible for them to live. Now they were picking up everything they can and leaving everything they knew for a chance at a future.Their lycan members were now well established members, and the pack looked to them as the public faces of the pack. It wasn’t unusual to see one or more on the news as they work as a security team for various celebrities and figures of note. The pack now ran a small but lucrative security firm, because several of the lycans
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Welcome and the New Way of Living
Hours. They only had hours to get ready. With much of the pack working together to get things done and sooth disgruntled feelings, they pulled off a makeshift welcome for the thirty lost souls coming to stay with them. Dean struggled to get through thirty files on the different lycan. It was as if each one came with a warning label of their own. No two had the same difficulty. Some were complete loners who they’d have to work with to bring back into the pack and life within it. They bonded others, who had that’s why they had so many lycan arriving. They wanted bonded pairs together so that a community could grow from the families that would form. It meant that they’d not planned correctly, but that could be adjusted again. Dean agreed with Oli and Jerome that the Ruling Council screwed up sending the lycan to them. The order was off and there wasn’t enough time given to prepare for their arrival. Also, they’d agreed to a few new lycan members, not t
Wolves at the Lycan's Door New Lycans at the Door
Their mating went on after the cleanup and Kiera’s world was addressed. Dean ended up marked as well at some point by Kiera and, finally exhausted, they fell asleep hours later. With the sun coming up and the mating over, Kiera felt a disturbing calm between them. Like this took away the jittery need to find a stable footing. Kiera could swear she could feel Dean’s mood as he slept. He’d exhausted her so much that she’d not been bothered by any of her usual nightmares. Kiera felt delicious and loose-limbed. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt like this. If she were a cat, she’d be purring at this point. “Morning. Luna Jonas.” Dean stated with a proud grin like he’d accomplished something last night. Kiera wouldn’t tell him, but he had accomplished something. The jerk got his way. He had the pack and her permanently. It wasn’t fair. She wasn’t ready for this, but she didn’t know what she was ready for. She wasn’t sure if she should be unhapp
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Behind Closed Doors
In the bathroom, Dean had the shower running, and he was making sure they had everything they need within easy reach. He remembered to heat the towels and lay out the mat. Whoever built this bathroom put down super smooth tiles on the floor and it was like skating on ice when you stepped out if you weren’t careful. The mat had rubber grips to prevent that while drying your feet on it. Dean heard Kiera sigh as she settled under the spray of their large shower. A standard wolf could bath in this shower while in their fur. Now Dean wondered if he needed to remodel the bathroom to fit their new size. Kiera was smaller in her dire wolf form, and he didn’t think she’d fit in here. That was something for another day to think about. Right now, he had an eyeful of his mate and a promise to keep. There was no question for him if she was his mate. Just seeing her like this made everything right. Dean followed her into the shower and cornered her under
Wolves at the Lycan's Door No Stopping Now
It took another week before Dean managed to shift into his alternative forms. He’d noticed a lot of changes in him. He needed to get larger clothing because his entire body went up to two clothing sizes while he lay in bed. That surprised him quite a bit. Finally, he could hold Kiera and kiss her without feeling like he’d been hit by a steamroller. Once they were home, Kiera wouldn’t speak of their mating and she wouldn’t set a date for the mating or acknowledgement ceremony. So he surprised Kiera with an evening to mate with her. He didn’t need an acknowledgement ceremony. His daily pain was almost nonexistent now and he want to give her what she deserved. Dean wanted Kiera to love their new form and position within the pack. So this evening they’d start with a private dinner in his apartment and then enjoy the evening with his soon-to-be mate. His mind kept wandering to what was to come. By dawn, they’d be mated, and thi
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Priorities
Two days later, Kiera and Trisha waited outside Dean’s room as Dr Graves examined him and looked at the latest test results. James returned to his pack to manage a few things. “So what are you doing for your mating ceremony? When will it be?” Kiera asked Trisha to try to find a different subject that didn’t revolve around Dean’s or her recent decisions. “Oh, I have him waiting until we can have both packs in the same place without there be fighting. I figure in a few years. I mean, technically, we’re mated. It’s just the ceremony of recognition of the mating that’s not been done. It seems so old-fashioned to me.” Trisha tried to brush it off. “Hon, if that were true, then you’ll be waiting forever to have the ceremony. Why don’t you just have it, and we’ll threaten to string up anyone and post signs of what they did? Like those photos of cats in their harnesses. “I shredded all the toilet paper while my owner was pooping.” Or “I pooped in m
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Trisha to the Rescue
“That bastard. Dean’s a jerk. He knew he’d do this and didn’t tell anyone that he’d do it. Kiera went there to discuss if it were possible. I know Kiera. She’d want to plan for all the worst things before trying anything. I bet he pushed her to let him do it.” “Enough Trisha. I’ll get us the earliest possible portal to there if you just let me think and listen to the portal booking system.” The mages ran the portal system and with it’s high risks of danger, they kept a stranglehold on almost all portal travel. When, where, and how long it would take are just a few of the questions James needed to answer. “Crap. I forgot to ask Kiera if she needed me to bring her anything. I don’t know if she has a change of clothes.” “Well, I’ll leave you to create a care package for Kiera and Dean. Let me get this booked.” “With four bags, James. We’re taking four bags with us. We can carry them if we have two duffle bags and two packs.” “Fine, I’
Wolves at the Lycan's Door On Pins and Needles
At some point, Kiera looked up at Dean. “Did you call your sister and tell her you were doing this right now?” “Nope, because you know very well what Trisha would say and I wasn’t going to listen to it, because this is between you and me.” “Goddess save me. Fine, I’ll do it. But when she’s pissed, I’m laying all the blame at your door. So you better be prepared when you see her next, because you’re going to hear about it.” Kiera couldn’t take it. She needed to talk to someone other than Dean. Trisha was the first person she thought of. Her mind did flit to April and Mary, but right now they were too busy trying to impress her to be reliable. For two who claimed they wanted to help her part-time, that changed when they understood she wasn’t dreaming that Dean wanted her as his mate and Luna. Kiera wasn’t leaning toward either of them because right now she didn’t feel she could trust them to receive the unvarnished truth. She hoped that would change.
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Caving In For Peace
“Are you both in agreement with this? If so, I can get you admitted Alpha Jonas, Kiera. We’d only need permission to draw your blood. If all goes well, you could be home in a day or two. Free to mate in a more relaxed and traditional manner on your own timeline.” Dr Graves looked calm and understanding. He didn’t press them further than that. “I’m game if you are Kiera.” Dean knew he was taking risks with his life. If it meant his life would finally be on track and he could see a happily ever after, he’d do it. He knew it was risky, but something in the back of his head was pushing him to do it and he wasn’t strong like Kiera, and he couldn’t resist listening to it. “Fine. I will let them take some blood. As long as I don’t need to be admitted for this. How long will it take to know whether it’s working or not?” “Once your blood is within his body it, we can test his body to see if there’s any rejection or damage to his organs. But since you
