Wolves at the Lycan's Door Kiera Awakes
Dean dozed in a chair rather than the bed the healing centre provided. Just because that’s where he was when his adrenaline bottomed out. Some time just before dawn he awoke from a doze to movement from where Kiera lay. It took him a moment to realize that she was the one making the sound. He’d panicked at the thought that a caregiver or healer had entered. Or worse, someone who wanted to harm Kiera to get to him. But it wasn’t Kiera was moving. It felt a little surreal because he was so groggy, but when things fully registered in his brain, Dean was up close to Kiera’s ear and urgently whispering to her to keep her calm. “It’s okay. You’re safe don’t struggle it’s me Dean. You’re in the healing centre. Kiera, you’re going to be fine. Just stay with me and stay calm.” It felt odd to be talking to Kiera in her dire wolf form. He’d spent hours now studying it. She was a deadly beauty. It wasn’t that she looked sick or twisted. No, it was just her massive size that mad
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Black River Hospital
Oli paced the waiting area. They’d brought Elder Evans to the Black River Hospital, and they were in surgery with him now. The fool was a right and proper mess. He didn’t envy the surgical team piecing him back together.Elder Evans clearly was the loser in this match. He and Dean both received the report from the examination of the scene, and he knew clearly now that Elder Evans could only have ended up like this because he jumped on Kiera.Oli’s job now was to push for his survival so that they could get information from him on why he’d done this and who gave him the tranquilizer he gave Kiera. For all the hesitation he had about Kiera before this, Oli found his opinion not just changing by his conscious decision but because he now saw the reality versus the rumour. He’d have to talk about it with Dean later when this all settled. She wasn’t a danger any more than any other shifter was. Yeah, she had the potential, but she didn’t have a temperament for being the monster the
Wolves at the Lycan's Door KIERA'S STATUS
“Well, I will say this for a Lycan you’re healing faster than expected. That’s good. You’re not ready to shift yet, dear. I’m sorry I wouldn’t recommend it. Your forearm is still broken, and we don’t want to complicate the injury just yet. So, we’ll come in every twelve hours or so make sure everything is going well and hopefully when it knits together some more, we might try the shift back into the flesh if you feel ready. I’ll make sure that someone arranges breakfast for both of you this morning. Now can I help any other way? Questions?” Dean shook his head and Kiera tucked her head under a pillow that lay on the bed near her. “Not right now, thank you. As long as there’s no complications,I’m happy.” “Yes, well, I’d say in three to five days she should be able to leave. Your forearm was pretty bad because you broke both bones, not just one. That’s why I believe it’s prudent to not rush anything. So I’ll write up a report for the next healer as I’m afraid
Wolves at the Lycan's Door KIERA'S STATE OF MIND
Kiera knew it trapped her in her fur, and it annoyed her to no end. The pounding headache didn’t help either.The Healer made it easy on her by mixing a pain reliever into some soft food that she could eat. Which wasn’t bad.Dean slept through it all and Kiera went back to sleep.But, of course, nothing was ever so easy in life. She didn’t know what triggered her memories, but when she dreamed it was bad.Kiera found herself back in the lab, in the horrible conditions there, and further twisted imaginings made it worse. Bloody faces, unrelenting pain, confusion, and the worst part was the mental torture.These humans knew she could understand them and speak, yet they ignored her and treated her like she was less than human.When the guards were bored, they’d tease and torture the ‘subjects.’ She’d seen things done to others. Some things the guards would get in trouble for. If they found a guard at fault for the death of a ‘subject’ then they replaced the ‘subject.’ Though tha
Wolves at the Lycan's Door KIERA'S NIGHT TERRORS IN DETAIL
“I need to know. Is this that I must expect from her night terrors? I’ve never seen her in the middle of one. What should I do if she has another? I need some kind of guidance on this. She didn’t seem herself and she won’t talk to me about it.” “Enough Alpha Jonas, we’ll talk later. Please let us make her comfortable and then we’ll speak about it. I have questions myself and I’m not sure if you know the answer to them. We’ll discuss it then. Now please step aside while we settle her back in again.” Dean hated feeling like he was helpless and clueless. He’s supposed to be her alpha and her mate. When she needed help, he was right there but might as well be miles away from the good he was. He stormed out of Kiera’s room in utter frustration at himself. He thought they were just bad dreams. How could he have known? None of the videos or reports did anything but mention she experienced them. None gave his details that’s she’d lash out at anyone that got near her
Wolves at the Lycan's Door FAMILY FINALLY TALKS
“Well, kind of you to get back to us so quickly there Alpha Jonas.” James said as he put his feet upon his desk in his study. He wanted to speak to Dean before Trisha interfered and sent everything go off the rails. “Yeah, about that I’ve had a night I’m not sure I want to remember. I think you get it easy with taking Trisha off my hands. There’s no way that I could handle both of them right now.” “What are you talking about? I’m not following.” James thought he was teasing Dean, but he seemed truly grateful. “It’s complicated. I just found out some things that are rather disturbing about Kiera’s time away from us and early this morning I came face-to-face with some of the fallout. When I want looking for help and understanding there was little to find. Then I get told there’s no end in sight if Kiera doesn’t get help. Add into it she’s not ready to accept the help she needs and if she agrees, there’s no guarantee that it will work either way. So yo
Wolves at the Lycan's Door TRISHA LEARNS ABOUT DEAN'S CALL
“What do you mean you talked to my brother? James, you know I wanted to speak to him. Did he say anything about Kiera and how she is doing? What’s happening? Did you talk to him about the parcel of land? How about access to the healing centre? The guys that are going after rogues for blood. Is it true he thinks they might try to take Kiera? I am sick of living on rumours, I need to know.” Trisha couldn’t believe that James didn’t tell her when Dean called finally. She’d been waiting so long to talk to him. Trisha was used to talking to Dean whenever she found him. “Can I visit Kiera?” James needed to get a handle on Trisha, or she’d be running the pack herself and he’d be left in the dust. “Are you done now? Of course, we spoke about all of that, and I can’t believe we had a civil discussion without arguing or pissing each other off.” “I wanted to see that. I want the receipts or at least photos or some sort of evidence proving that statement.” “Ha
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Dissatisfaction
Sometime during the day when Dean stepped out to make his calls, Kiera could shift back into her flesh. The healer wasn’t pleased because Kiera didn’t have the okay and could have harmed herself further. Dean didn’t think she made the conscious decision to shift back into her mind. She was still pretty drugged up. He wasn’t happy about it, but he felt she needed a little leeway on this. Too many people had already judged her harshly. Dean knew he needed to make a statement about what happened before fanciful tales based outside of the facts became common belief with the pack. Kiera was in and out of consciousness but the Healer on duty assured him she would be fine soon, and she’d not harmed herself as they feared she would shift so quickly. She gave Dean a rather vague explanation that they didn’t really know how the Lycans shifted, and the method might differ from wolf shifters. They needed to study her more to understand it. He

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
