Wolves at the Lycan's Door CHANGE OF PLANS
Sure enough, the old man came back. However, he was upset to see that Kiera hadn’t eaten any of the food. She wasn’t a fool. Kiera was experienced in this situation. It wasn’t her first rodeo, and she wouldn’t risk being drugged, either. Henry was so furious he kicked the tray aside against the stone and grout wall. The plate shattered, where the shards and food scattered over the grimy floor. “I gave you peace and quiet to eat. This is how you thank me? Ungrateful wretch. I am the father of many alphas, and they will not defy me. You want to go hungry, then fine. No more food for you.” He was livid, his over reaction was to an extreme Kiera hadn’t expected. Though it was very revealing to her. He was obsessed with his sons being alphas and he claimed at least two as his blood. He wasn’t an alpha himself, so he lived his rank through his sons. He was a sad creature, and she expected the more she learned, the more disgusting she would find it. The man was deluded an
Wolves at the Lycan's Door A BAG OF MIXED BLESSINGS
Dean and Oli called in all their enforcers, and he had everyone getting ready to beef up their territory’s protections. That’s when Oli’s phone rang. “It’s Keith.” “Answer it.” Dean needed to know what was happening to his sister. Actually, she was his half-sister. They shared a mother, but he knew they had different fathers. She never spoke of either males. Dean didn’t know either males’ names, and she’d not left the information with anyone or written anywhere. “Keith, what’s going on? It sounds like the yelling has stopped.” “It’s only just stopped and one of them barricaded the door. We still can’t get in and they won’t respond. But you won’t like this. I still don’t know if he’ll go through with any attacks, so I don’t know if he’s accepting the threat of war. But I can’t say whether they’re mated either. It was brutal listening to whatever happened in there.” “Well, that was the last thing I expected to hear from you. Will we be seeing you at Jordan’s
Wolves at the Lycan's Door DEAN STRUGGLES
Dean was torn between his sister and Kiera. How was he supposed to choose? How could he not choose? His sister was clearly pack, Kiera was once pack as he’d been told several times now. Dean reminded each person who dared to remind of this, that he never gave her permission to leave the pack. He’d at least admit that he didn’t just say it, but growled at them, annoyed in a way he didn’t remember ever being before. His mood wasn’t improving, either. Dean struggled to keep his head on the more pressing issues. Trisha was under the thumb of James, but her life wasn’t threatened in any way. This had never happened before in all the years they’d known each other. He must get and keep his head in the game. His territory was at stake and his people were in danger of attack from the Jasper Sound Pack. It was his job to lead these people, and he was the one who’d protect them from anything and everything. Kiera needed him just as much as the rest of the pack. The differenc
Wolves at the Lycan's Door ENTER TROUBLE
Kiera sat there silently and glared at the old man. “You realize if I was one of their mates, I would be mated for a long time. Listen, this is crazy. Nothing you’re saying is true. You can’t even make your beliefs fit together. Just unlock the handcuff and I’ll leave. You won’t need to worry about me talking to anyone or interfering with it. I’ll disappear completely.”Kiera didn’t have any reason to stay. She’d just had no pressing reason to leave. Kiera wasn’t expecting the old man’s reaction. “How dare you seal one of my sons’ fate to be a horrible nightmare. You are a monster.” He spit his words out in her face before he returned to pacing. “You’re so selfish. I believe you were better than that.” Kiera snorted and shook her head. “You clearly don’t know either of those alphas. I’m nothing but a pawn in their competition to one-up each other. Heck, Dean waved goodbye to me when I left, and James… James made sure I knew his pack wasn’t an option. I just
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Clearing the Air
Kiera couldn’t believe this. Everything in her world turned upside-down without warning. Now she understood what Kiera was talking about when she returned from wherever they’d taken her. If this was even a little bit of what she experienced, the Moon Goddess had a lot of explaining to do. No one should have to deal with this. James couldn’t seem to leave her alone for a minute. She got it they were mated, but it was like he felt he needed to make up for lost time. It was just plan odd. This wasn’t anything like the wolf she was familiar with. How could he be so different? Why hide this side of him? Well, the entitled asshole part was still there, but this room. Video games? Who would have guessed? The sexual aggression too. Wow, that was a perk for Trisha. They still needed to clear the air with Dean and stop this foolishness about a war. Then focus on finding Kiera. Trisha hoped Oli hadn’t convinced Dean not to search for her.After last night, she wasn’t s
Wolves at the Lycan's Door SPEAKING TO ELDERS
“Any news from the enforcers we sent out to Jordan’s Run?” Dean entered the study. Any minute now, his sister should call with James. That really burned his hide. But not being able to search for Kiera was also getting to him. “No, but they should check in soon. How did it go with the elder that wanted to speak to you? Did you get anything from him?” Oli looked up from his desk in the corner of the main floor of the study. “I got nothing but vague and useless information. As for what the elder wanted, that was annoying to no end. He basically stood there and told me Kiera was nothing and I was wasting my time chasing after ghosts. Ghosts! I left Mary yelling at him about being so stupid for a wise man or some such thing. I figure he deserved that.” Dean felt a little redeemed when Mary wigged out on Elder Evans. At least, he knew there was someone else other than himself worried for Kiera and where she was. “Which one was it this time?” Oli referred
Wolves at the Lycan's Door TRISHA’S TAKE
Dean saw his sister’s face appear on his screen. She looked okay except for a bandage on her neck, and she was wearing someone else’s clothes. “What happened to your clothes?” He couldn’t stop the words from coming out a lot gruffer than he’d planned. A hand settled on her shoulder as James came into view. “I didn’t like them. What do you think happened? We got busy, and they got sacrificed.” Dean winced. He didn’t want to think about his little sister fucking anyone, let alone James. “Enough. Trisha, are you okay? He didn’t hurt you, did he? If he did, I’ll kill him.” “Dean, shut up. It wasn’t like that. Well, it was, but it wasn’t. Look, this is weird talking to you about this. All you need to know about this is it went beyond no return and now we have to live with it.” Trisha looked annoyed with the entire subject. “Still, you don’t have to…” “Shut up Dean. I’m here, I’m mated, and I think I want to see where it goes. Now the war, let’s go with th
Wolves at the Lycan's Door TIME TO GO
Henry sat in the dim, claustrophobic, smelly RV across from Rath. He’d say his better half or partner-in-crime. But as far as he knew, there were no crimes yet. Or at least none known about. “Now what is the problem and what can I do for you?” Rath smiled reassuringly, as he always did. “She not scared or cooperating. I think she might also be suicidal. Everything will fall apart if I don’t have the prize to dangle before my boys.” “Suicidal you say? Lacks fear. Hm… I wonder if the old wolf has bitten off more than he can chew. What do you think I can do to help you this time?” “The Lycan must be given to his mate and now that they’ve come to their full potential and with the spell removed. I can get the deed for you, and we’ll be squared away. Just one more thing and we’ll have everything we both want. You, the land, and my legacy are complete before I die.” “Have told you for years you have no control over that part of your legac

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
