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   BIRTHDAY AT THE ROCKING HORSE SALOON

    The Rocking Horse Saloon was rocking, and Kiera Samuels could watch the action for once. She worked as a member of the waitstaff here, being run ragged serving and cleaning up.She’d left the Fort Granger Pack she’d worked there since then. Everyone knew why Kiera left. Some were happy when she’d isolated herself to the buffer zone between the Fort Granger Pack and the Jasper Sounds Pack Territory.They allowed her to work at the Rocking Horse because it wasn’t in town or in either of the packs’ territories. Partly because the locals couldn’t control what happened in the buffer area. As long as no one broke the law, they couldn’t enforce anything.Other locals like the surrounding girls celebrating her best friend’s birthday. There weren’t many who would give Kiera the time of day. But these three did, and the birthday girl, Patricia Jonas, was the best. Also known as, Trisha by friends and family.“So, April here’s been seeing Jerome Caine for a week! Can you believe it? At least she

    “Oh, nothing really. We were just speculating about what my brother was up to. Has he come to his senses yet?” “That again? I told you we’re here for you and to have fun. Let’s not talk about my pity party. You still haven’t told us what you wished for. Come to think of it, you’ve not told us about much of anything. I think you’re holding out on us.” “You buy the next round of drinks, and I’ll see if I can squeeze a few interesting stories before we have to leave.” Trisha looked down at her watch and frowned. Kiera sighed she’d been ordering the drinks all night because she received a discount on them. “Maybe one story. Dean’s insisting on hosting a weekend gather for other pack to come here and mingle. You know the whole talk politics and find a little action. If a few matings happen along the way, it’s a bonus. The problem is, he can’t host it. He and James have the two packs fighting each other.” Trisha realized the time and how late it was getting. She mad

  • Wolves at the Lycan's Door   RETURN OR LEAVE

    Kiera sat there and drank every drop of alcohol that her friends left behind and drank a couple more before it was closing just to rub it into Dean’s face. After all, he sat there watching the entire time. What annoyed her the most was that she caught him speaking to Don, the owner and current bartender. He didn’t hide the fact he was talking to him about her. The two wolves kept looking at her. She felt like she was missing some important detail here. After a minute or two of that confusion, she gave up on thinking about solving that problem and went back to figuring out what she should do about her friends. Since she moved to the cottage down the road from here, she’d been seeing less and less of them. Kiera knew it wasn’t their fault. If she hadn’t taken the job in town, her kidnappers would never have caught her. Elder Evans made that quite clear to her when she recovered enough to hear her spew the venom about no longer being graced by the moon

  • Wolves at the Lycan's Door   TIME FOR HOME

    “Hey, Kiera, where are you going? I think you’re going in the wrong direction, sweetheart. My truck is that way. Let me take you home.” Dean hated every single word he uttered. He tried to threaten her earlier to go with him. Why? Why was he screwing with her again? She’d been through enough already and she was drunk. Talk about kicking her when she’s down. “Alpha Duncan, would you kindly shove it up you’re ass? I’m tipsy, not stupid. Take me home.” Kiera snorted at that. “I work here to remember. I’ve heard the pickup lines. That one has the girl asking, ‘Yours or mine?’ Screw that. I’m walking home. Please get out of my way.” Dean was thankful she at least kept her manners while drunk, even if she was still rude about it. He had to admit it was interesting to see James’ reaction to being shot down. The two alphas could be mistaken for brothers they were so close in colouring and size. They were a year apart in age as well. So they ended up in the

  • Wolves at the Lycan's Door   A MISSING WOLF AND LYCAN

    Dean went to bed as soon as he got home and slept until morning when the enforcers he left to watch Kiera reported that she’d run them off close to dawn. They saw nothing that would lead them to believe anyone other than her was out there. Kiera lived alone in a cottage that shared a road with the Rocking Horse Saloon. It originally was used by the first owner of the Rocking Horse, but the current one preferred to live in town. Kiera often opened and closed the bar for him when he wasn’t there or needed to leave early. No other buildings were near there and the town was a good twenty minutes away by car. She was alone out there. “Fine, go get some rest. I’ll go see her again this morning when I can.” “Dean, you have things to do for the pack. You can’t be running around after a Lycan through the neutral zone. Your presence threatens the denizens.” “Oli, that is probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard you say, and you have a few

  • Wolves at the Lycan's Door   WHERE ARE THEY

    Now Dean couldn’t reach Trisha. What was it with these women? He didn’t have time for this. Oli stayed right beside his alpha, and had prudently kept his mouth shut. He didn’t know half of what was going on, and what he knew he couldn’t be sure what was lying. Oli still thought that Kiera was a Lycan now and she should stay with her people. When he’d posed that to Dean, he’d reminded Oli that her people were far and few. None of them were secure. No one could point to a place and say that’s Lycan territory. Just because they are the first shifters to possess a third form didn’t mean they weren’t a form of shifter. They even spoke of the violent streak the Lycan appeared to have as well. Dean’s views were definitely food for the thought Oli needed. They traumatized the Lycans in those labs. They knew wolves and many other shifters had a strong fight-or-flight response. With that viewpoint in consideration, fighting could be the first response because the lab tried

  • Wolves at the Lycan's Door   TOUGH DECISIONS

    Dean stood there in the damaged cottage that belonged to Kiera. He held the phone out to Oli, completely distracted by his thoughts after he’d heard James make his demands. The land or Kiera, it should be a straightforward decision but his mind rebelled. There was no way he would give up the land. That would give James the last thing he needed to drive Dean and his pack from his territory. No one could live without water. So, the other possibility was Kiera. Find her and hand her over to James. His mind hated this idea. In a protective and possibly territorial way. Why? He thought his attraction to her died the day that they returned her to them changed. How could he feel the hollowness in his soul now, after all this time? There was no way he could explain it. No way he could give into this either. The backlash of mating with a monster was impossible to contemplate with several pack members opposed to her living within pack territory. “Oli,

    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

    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’

    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
