The Setup

Trisha and Kiera watched James take several enforcers with him toward the cabin behind the Rocking Horse Tavern, where she lived for close to a year. She didn’t know if this would work, but they needed some way to find this druid.

In the beginning, Kiera had to agree with Trisha. She couldn’t believe that the druid was the person who stole and sold the blood on the black market. But when Dean agreed with James on almost everything, and the little information, Kiera knew from their father while he was alive. It soon wasn’t that big of a leap to believing she was in danger. No, they were all in danger from this unfeeling monster.

From making new Lycans, to creating werewolves, and of course killing people with the blood, this became horrifying. Blood magic, for the most part, was banned and what they could practice was carefully regulated. But there always was someone that broke the rules.

Now they waited with Dean to hear from James that he had everyo

  • Wolves at the Lycan's Door   Let's Review While We Wait

    Dean held Kiera’s front door open for her and then followed her into the place she’d once lived. Why she didn’t know was all because of him. He’d moved her things into the packhouse. He didn’t even allow her to have her old place in his territory back. This showed her how serious he was about changing things. All the talk of mating, changing how and where she lived. Inserting himself back into her life. Never mind the hot too good to turn down sex. The change was so great in him she wasn’t sure how to come back from this. Now he claimed he was trying to protect her and his pack from this blood dealer. Not just his pack, but all shifters within the area, really. It was a noble thing, but was it something she could truly say surprised her about him? Yes, he played pranks, annoyed her, and made it hard for her to be around him. But he wasn’t a selfish person otherwise. He’d learned quickly that he needed to keep a focus on the pack, even if he was blin

    “I knew I should have stopped you from drinking that night. It was all too much even for you, Kiera. Why did you drink that much in the first place?” Dean finally asked the one question he’d been struggling not to ask. “Really? You need to ask? I wasn’t sure if I should leave this area and if I did, I was trying to decide what I wanted to do once I was gone. Keep on living somewhere else, doing something else, or end it all.” That statement rang with a tone of stark truth, and everyone met her words with silence from everyone that heard it. A silence that telegraphed the horror, and guilt of those around as they realized how far everyone’s actions went and the effects, they had on this one person. “That’s over now. This isn’t your space anymore. Whatever hung from the ceiling isn’t here right now. Elder Evans can no longer campaign against you, and the pack knows the truth. I’m here, no magic to interfere with my feelings, and the fighting with James a

    They were finally ready. It didn’t take long for everyone to get into place, but it still felt like it took too long. Dean and Kiera put their backs to the back door and waited. He kept Kiera talking about her time there when she was attacked to keep up the act in case the person listened to their conversation before; they entered to attack. “I just don’t know what was in here, and that’s the scariest thing about all of this. What did that happen? You said you thought I might have been hit by a tail and that’s why I didn’t hear someone land behind me. Are you sure about that?” “Look at it. We took pictures, measurements, and impressions. Then let experts look at them. So far, the information that came back is some kind of reptile.” “So a reptile shifter then? Because I doubt a mundane reptile would be that smart. I didn’t know that they even existed.” “Technically, if there are avian shifters, it’s not far off to believe there cou

  • Wolves at the Lycan's Door   Unexpected Twists

    While Dean struggled to claw the vine from around his throat, Kiera, too, like everyone else, fought. At seeing Dean struggling, Kiera couldn’t stop her transformation into her Lycan form. She hated others seeing her in this form. The fear she felt around her while she was in her Lycan form felt almost painful to her. Kiera hated feeling the negative emotions of those around her. Over time, she’d almost blocked others’ emotions from her. Right now, the aggression from those around her, the fighting, the anger, and the violence all did something to her. All she wanted to do now was save Dean from suffocating to death. Kiera tore through the vine with her teeth. The vines tasted wrong. Almost meaty. That’s when she saw the skeletal face on the lower body. Horrified, she spit out what vine still hung from her jaws in disgust. She needed to get this thing slowed to a stop. Her thoughts within her Lycan form were complex but simplified by images rather t

    Eventually, the fight wound down and James came out of the house and into the backyard. “I’m glad she’s staying with you. It’s a mess in there. But the guys are securing what’s left of the rogues now. We can figure out what we want to do with them later.” There wasn’t much of a question about what they’d do with them. The Ruling Council had a bounty on the heads of these fools. They’d split the bounty, since they were both involved, and it happened in the neutral zone between their packs. “Oh, and the healers called in. They’ll be here in the next few minutes.” “Good.” Ty basically nodded at the rest of James’ update. “What in all that’s sacred?” He now was close enough to see the scattered and charred leaves, and pieces of the creature around the prone body of the druid. “Wait, is that the thing that attacked in the kitchen?” “Yeah, it appears the druid found some sort of way to change into that.” James made a face of total disgust because he final

    “Kiera, the healers are here. Someone brought some chains for him that will prevent him from using his magic. It’s okay, you can shift back now. Come on, sweetheart. Don’t make me force you to shift back.” Dean didn’t know how long he’d been begging Kiera to shift back, but he was losing his patience. Lycan generally tended to have a painful transition from one form to the other. They resisted shifting forms as much as possible because of this. Her excuse was for not shifting was at an end and she was making everyone uncomfortable in her current form. One healer stood just outside the kitchen door and dangled a set of handcuffs from his hands to show Kiera they existed, which caught her attention. Kiera nodded and wordlessly grumbled as she went to all four feet. Her shift came on slowly, and several healers and enforcers came out to watch. Dean hated this. They were shifters and shifting should be a spectacle of any sort to them.

  • Wolves at the Lycan's Door   The Waiting Game

    The chaos at the healing centre was insane. Not only were there Ruling Council enforcers and investigators clogging the corridors as everyone and their uncle appeared to be waiting for their chance to speak with the druid. Dean and James didn’t realize how great their achievement was. The druid underestimated their brains and ability to plan. Trisha, when she was finished yelling at them for locking her in the closet, pointed out the Druid probably looked on them as country hillbillies and simpletons. Their plan he’d probably expect from alphas of larger packs closer to more urban centres, where more conflicts occurred, and education was better. Kiera kept her mouth shut for this, but couldn’t stifle her giggle of amusement at hearing Trisha’s left-handed compliment. James didn’t take being called an uneducated hillbilly very well. He knew what she was capable of saying, but he’d rarely had her viper’s tongue turned directly on him.Dean knew about

    Walt stepped from the secured patient room. The Druid wouldn’t leave anytime soon. The fight and the magic took a lot out of him. The fool must have forgotten or ignored the fact that all magic like science got results and those results may be what they intended, and the rest were unintended or side-effects. There’s only so much of anything in this world. When it’s gone, it must latch onto something else. The druid cast a spell that fused his body with a creeper vine among the other plants. It made for a toxic combination for whoever he attacked if he’d been able to get in contact with his opponent for too long. The negative effects were something Walt feared he’d ignored, not expected, or disregarded. When Kiera lit him on fire, that fire first consumed the plants and then consumed him before he broke the spell and returned to his human or druidic form. The fool wouldn’t answer questions, but that didn’t matter. He was his mother’s son and a druid him

  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    “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’

    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.

    “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
