This is a work of fiction and all the characters and events are fictional. If you are under the age of 18 or are in an area that prohibits erotic fiction then leave now. This story depicts lesbian sex and mind control, if that’s not your thing then leave now. You’ve been warned… I awoke the next morning to the sound of running water and female singing. Julia was in my bathroom taking a shower and singing something but I couldn’t tell what the song was. The thought of her naked in the shower made a fresh surge of arousal surge up in me and I savored the feeling. My nipples became almost painfully stiff and I felt myself becoming wet again. This new sexuality was something. And being attracted to women was wonderful. No sex I had ever had with any man, and there had been quite a few, had ever been as good as what I had experienced last night with Julia. That had been incredible. I didn’t know I could feel anything as strong as that. It was more pleasure than I had ever dreamed possible. I looked down at the ring on my finger, such a simple little thing, and it had done that to me. It made me desire Julia in a way I never had before, sexually. The idea of girl/girl sex had never done anything for me before. I had made out with a friend of mine once at a party on a dare, I was drunk and it I thought it might be fun. It had been pretty good, very different from kissing a man, much more soft and tender but it didn’t really do anything for me. I still only desired guys in that way. But now… The thought of that lesbian kiss at the party years ago set me on fire with desire. I could have had that girl between my legs that night! Her name had been Christie and she would have, she was so drunk I could have done anything with her. I had been so stupid! If I had known then how good it was… but I didn’t. But now I did. I could have any woman I wanted with the ring. The ring would make it happen, I could do anything I wanted with them. But how did it work? I had made Julia into my lover yesterday and I had given her a longer tongue to better please me but I wasn’t really sure how I had done either of them. How do I control it? I will respond to your thoughts.,. Came a clear feminine voice, not spoken aloud, but in my head. “Marcellene?” I asked quietly to the empty room. Marcellene had been the sorceress whose soul was bonded to the ring. She had told me of the ring’s power yesterday before we had bonded, but I had not heard from her since. “Marcellene, is that you? Where did you go yesterday?” I did not go anywhere. I cannot. I had to regain my strength after the bonding yesterday. I draw my strength from my master while he… sorry, force of habit, she, is sleeping. I am sorry for the pain you felt during the bonding yesterday, it is not normally like that but because it has been so long I was very weak and had to draw a lot of you life force into me to complete the bond. I am so sorry master, or would you prefer mistress? Hearing that soft feminine voice call me ‘mistress’ gave me another little thrill. “I like the sound of Mistress.” And it was very true. “So are you always going to be with me now?” I asked, already knowing the answer. Yes. I can never leave you. I am here to serve you in any way I can. Is there anything you wish of me? “Well, you can start by explaining exactly how this ring, or you, or… whatever, how it works. I changed Julia yesterday. I altered her mind to make her my lover and I made her tongue longer to please me better but I don’t really know how I did either of them.” Aaahhh, Julia. Yes she is very beautiful, I can see why you took her. And that long tongue you gave her was wonderful. Marcellene said in a lusty tone. “Wait a minute! You can see her? And what do you mean ‘her tongue was wonderful’, you felt that? How?” We are bonded, I see and feel everything you do. She said simply. Hmmm. This would take a little getting used to. “OK, we can come back to that later, tell me how you work.” I make your thoughts and desires happen. When you want something from a woman or desire a change in a woman I make it happen. “So all I have to do is think something and it will happen? What if I’m out shopping and I see a beautiful woman. What if I think ‘I’d like to see her naked’, will she strip for me right there? What if I really didn’t want her to do it, it was just a dirty thought that crossed my mind. How do I control it?” You have to actively want it to happen, you must push your thoughts to her, you must make her do it. It is difficult to explain, to put in words. It is like moving your hand, you can think ‘I want to move my hand’ but not move it or you can think ‘I want to move my hand’ and then you move it. It is the same thing. You must use your mind to move your thoughts. It is all learned through doing, you must practice and you will see. “What do you mean practice? Who should I practice on?” I asked, knowing the answer. Julia, of course. She is right in the next room. Change whatever you want on her, If you don’t like the change, change her back. “But won’t the changes scare her?” You can make it so she doesn’t even know that she has been changed or you can make her know of the changes and accept, love or even hate them. You control her mind as well as her body, completely. Just then I heard the shower turn off. Julia would be out in a few moments. “What about physical changes? Do I change her body in the same way?” Yes it is the same. You must actively think of what you want her body to look like, how you want her to change. The door to the bathroom opened and Julia stepped out. Her short, firm body was wrapped in a bright blue towel. She had a brush in her hand and was running it through her still wet, black, shoulder length hair. She looked at me with those dark Asian eyes and smiled. “Good morning beautiful! I thought you were going to sleep all day.” She said in her bright cheery voice. OK, here goes. I thought of Julia stripping off her towel and going out to make me breakfast, naked. I couldn’t figure out how to get the thought to her. I envisioned an invisible hand pushing the thought to her, into her head. She put down the brush, unfastened the towel and let it drop and headed for the kitchen. She called over her shoulder, “What do you want for breakfast?” I smiled as I watched her tight little ass swaying as she walked down the hallway to the kitchen. “Surprise me!” I called out to her retreating backside. That went quite well. You picked it up very quickly. Some men took months to be able to do that. “Maybe it’s because I’m a woman, I think like a woman, not like a man. The thought patterns are the same or something.” That could be true, but I do not know. Are you going to try to manipulate her physically? Physical changes, hmmm. “I guess I could try it. But I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to hurt her.” It is true that you could permanently damage her or even kill her with a poorly chose change. Just start small and be cautious, you will do fine, I will help you. Just don’t try to change her into a dragon or something silly like that on your first day. “I could really do that? Change her that much?” I asked in wonder. I hadn’t really thought about what the possibilities were for the physical changes. Yes, you can change her into almost any organic form you want, but be careful, you may not be able to change her back from all forms without destroying her mind. For example, you could change her body into a tree, it is a living thing, but a tree had no brain, no mind, no soul. So her mind would be lost in the transformation. You could then change her from the tree back into her human body, but her mind would not come back, it would have been destroyed. You would simply have her body, an empty, soulless vessel. But small alterations of her form are harmless and easily changed back if you do not like them. Things such as skin color, height, length of the hair, body shape, and facial features. These are all very minor changes, very easy. This was all a little scary but the thought of small alterations made a little thrill go through me. What could I change? Sounds of sizzling and the smell of bacon were coming from the kitchen. I got up, threw my bathrobe on and headed after Julia. “Marcellene, I’ll talk to you later.” As you wish mistress, I will be waiting. Julia was in the kitchen making bacon and pancakes. Julia actually was a very good cook and really enjoyed playing around in the kitchen. The sight of her tight little body walking around the kitchen naked was quite a turn on. I sat on one of the counter stools to watch. She was expertly moving around the kitchen like a short order cook, flipping the pancakes, frying the bacon and setting two places at the counter. As she moved around I studied her naked body and wondered what I should change. She didn’t have an ounce of fat on her so I couldn’t change that. She was so beautiful that I didn’t want to play with her facial features. What then? Better make it something small to start. As she turned around I found myself looking at her crotch. The thin, soft dark hair that covered her pussy. There wasn’t very much down there but she didn’t seem to trim it very much at all. From eating her last night I remembered that it tickled my nose and got stuck to my tongue. I bet eating her would be better if she was hairless between her legs. Well, here goes nothing. I concentrated on her pussy hair, imagined it getting shorter and shorter until it was gone and she was completely bald between her legs. Her back was to me and I couldn’t tell if it had worked. I watched her tight bottom wiggle as I waited for her to turnaround. I was getting impatient and was just about to order her to turnaround and spread her legs for me when she turned towards me with a stack of pancakes on a plate. She was hairless between her legs! It worked! I squeezed my thighs together and wiggled my ass on the stool, this was all such a turn on I was having a hard time controlling myself. As I looked at her I couldn’t see any signs of hair, not even a little change of skin color or texture like shaving would leave. The hair was completely gone. She looked so smooth… smooth and sexy! “Ready to eat?” she asked with a smile. “Yes. Everything looks delicious, absolutely delicious.” I said with a sly grin. We sat down side by side at the counter, I was still in my bathrobe, Julia was still naked. As we ate we talked about different things. Work, friends, lots of things. I was studying Julia for any other signs of change as we were eating, wondering how much I had altered her mind last night. I hadn’t heard her mention her boyfriend or any man for that matter during the whole meal. Usually talk about men took up about ninety percent of Julia’s talking. So it seemed she was still changed, I hoped she was but I couldn’t be sure. Julia’s next words confirmed my hopes. “Do you know the girl who just moved into the condo at he end of the row, I think it’s number 24? You know, she’s that hot redhead with the great set of tits. Did you know that she has a sister?” Julia asked this last bit with a wicked gleam in her eye. “No, I didn’t know that, what about it?” Hearing Julia describe another woman as hot and talking about her tits was really kinky. I didn’t know how much longer I would be able to control myself. Julia, still with that wicked smile, swirled her finger in the maple syrup on her plate, lifted the finger to her mouth and slowly licked the syrup off. “Well it seems that her sister is her twin. Picture that, their are two of those sexy little numbers walking around.” She slid her finger into her mouth and sucked the remaining syrup from her finger. “Seems to me we should take a walk down to her condo some day and introduce ourselves.” Julia dipped her finger in into the syrup again and raised it up, the syrup ran down her finger and down the back of her hand. “She is new around here and he might need some new friends. We might get to know her a little more…” she pushed the finger covered with syrup between my lips, it was warm and sweet “intimately.” The last word came out as a soft purr. With Julia’s last work the lust finally took over and I completely lost all control. I grabbed Julia and practically threw her onto the couch. I leapt on top of her and planted my lips on hers. We wrapped our legs and arms around each other as frantically kissed and clutched at each other. I felt Julia’s long tongue slide into my mouth and eagerly sucked on it. Her grasping hands ripped off my bathrobe and grabbed hold of my ass, pulling my hips tight to hers. She held me tight and we ground our hips together, crushing our pussies together as hard as we could. I was moaning loudly into Julia’s mouth and she was moaning into mine. Julia broke our kiss and pushed me up so I was kneeling over her, she slid down and latched onto one of my nipples, one of her hands wet up between my legs and she slid a finger inside me. “Oooohhhh, Julia, that’s soooo goood! Oh Julia, make me cum! Please, Make me cum!” I was delirious with pleasure, moaning uncontrollably, my mind was immersed in a hazy fog of pleasure. Julia started furiously rubbing my swollen clit. Already on the edge of ecstasy, my pussy exploded with pleasure and I came in an intense rush. I screamed as my cunt convulsed, my juices dripped out onto Julia who continued to rub my incredibly sensitive love button. Wave after wave of mind numbing pleasure surged through me. It was even more intense than last night, it was soul shattering, it was heaven. I looked a Julia’s beautiful face, still sucking on my hard nipple, a look of blissful pleasure on her face and thought she looked so beautiful last night when she was in the throws of passion. The thought came to me that she should be cumming too, she should cum whenever I do. Without realizing what I was doing I pushed that thought into her. As another orgasm struck me, I cried out with the hot pleasure of it. I was delighted to see Julia cum at the same time. She screamed loudly but it was muffled because her mouth was still latched to my breast. She writhed underneath me with the intensity of her passion as I continued to enjoy the pleasures her body was giving me. Unable to hold myself up anymore, I collapsed on top of Julia. She immediately rolled me over and we fell off the couch onto the floor in a heap. She turned around and spread her legs, sliding down between my legs so that out pussies touched. She grabbed hold of one of my legs, pulled our pussies tight together and started grinding herself against me. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. The feel of her soft hairless, cunt lips rubbing against my own swollen twat was so incredibly perverted, so naughty. “You’re such… a little… slut!” I managed to get out between my grunts of pleasure. “I know… but I’m…Oooohhh….I’m… your little slut!” Julia said back between her own grunts and groans of ecstasy. Hearing Julia say she was my little slut put me over the top. I grabbed hold of one of Julia’s legs and pulled our cunts tight together as I approached my climax. Finally with another loud moan I came as I frantically rubbed my pussy against Julia’s. Julia cried out “I’m cumming again! Oh, your little slut’s cumming! Ooohh, ooohhh, AAAAHHHH!” She kept grinding against me as I felt her hot pussy juice squirt out onto me. Out hot fluids mixed together as we continued to hump and grind. She’s cumming so hard I thought, I want her to keep cumming, one long orgasm till I make her stop, I pushed the thought into her. Julia screamed louder and she continued to thrash against me only more violently. “Oh GOD! I’m still CUMMING! I can’t stop… don’t stop… cumming! OOOOHHHH!!! It’s soooo gooood! AAAAAHHHH!” she continued to scream. Her juices continued to flow out of her cunt and were soaking us and the floor. I needed a breather and watching Julia having one continuous orgasm was so erotic that pulled off of her to watch. I backed up and leaned against the couch to rest for a moment. Even with out me touching her she continued to scream and writhe on the floor. Her beautiful body covered with sweat and girl juice as her own hands wandered her body, pinching, pulling, rubbing and stroking. After a few minutes of watching I began to get a little worried. “Oh, I can’t… take much… oooohhhh…. aaaahhhhh!!! Can’t… stop…. soooo fucking goood! Oooooohhh! I… I… oooohhhh!” She was still moaning and panting but Julia’s movements were starting to become slower and her words were a little slurred, I thought I may have done a little too much to her so I pushed on her mind to make her stop cumming. She immediately stopped moving and just lay still on the floor. A little more worried I went over to her and lifted her head into my lap. She looked up at me with a blissful smile and slurred out “I love you…” and then she fell asleep. I picked her up, set her on the couch and covered her with a light blanket. I gave her a light kiss on the lips and went into the bathroom to wash up. That had been incredible. Julia was an absolute animal in bed. Well actually we hadn’t had sex in the bed yet, just the couch… and the stools… and the floor. But the bed would come soon enough I was sure. I stepped into the hot shower and fantasized about what I could do to Julia. What else could I change? I thought about our talk during breakfast. She had talked about the new girl in unit 24. Was Julia having fantasies about other women? Apparently. Well I thought, if she wanted to fantasize, thinking about the new redhead wasn’t a bad start. She was about our age, maybe 26 or so, red hair, pretty face, lots of freckles, nice ass and huge tits. Quite a combination. But first I had to master my control, which meant practicing. And Julia was my practice girl. I just had to take it easy on her and not hurt her. The problem was that I got horny so easily now! Every time I’m around her I want to have sex with her. And this morning it had actually been her who seduced me, so I had apparently made her as horny as I was. How could I practice if I couldn’t stop having sex with her? I would just have to resist the urge to have sex until I couldn’t hold out any longer. I had to master my new powers, and to master them I needed to practice. I got out of the shower, dried up and put on a tanktop and shorts with nothing under them. Then I spent the next few hours cleaning up place. Made myself lunch and generally just tried to keep my mind occupied. Julia continued to sleep and it was hard to keep working while she lay only a few feet away, the blanket pulled down, exposing her small, firm breasts. At last she woke up. She sat up stretched languidly and smiled when she saw me looking at her. The blanket had fallen away and she sat there naked, her body exposed to me again. “Like what you see?” she asked with that mischievous smile again. Oh no, not again. “You know I do, but no more fooling around just yet. Now go take a shower, you smell like sweat and pussy.” She walked slowly up to me and in a sexy, almost careless manner, traced the side of my breast with one fingertip. “I thought you would have liked the smell of my pussy. You ate enough of last night.” The finger made it’s way to my nipple and she gently rubbed the fingertip around my hard little nub in small slow circles. “Ooohhh.” I couldn’t help myself and let out a soft moan. She was seducing me again, my cunt was on fire already. I had to regain control. “Go take a shower.” As I said it I desperately pushed on her mind, knowing that if I didn’t get rid of her now, we’d be going down on each other again in just a few seconds. Changed Ch. 02 Once she got home, Karen cleaned the house from top to bottom, and then baked 3 batches of cookies and a cake to work off all of her nervous, pent up energy. Finally, she allowed herself to sink into her old fashioned claw footed bathtub. She sighed and the days tension seemed to flow out of her. Leaning her head back onto a pillow, she let her thoughts replay the days events. The handsome man who had walked into her work sparked something in her that she'd never felt before. When she had cut her hand, it had warmed her from her head to her toes that he had come over to try and help, but when she caught the color of his eyes and how he stalked towards her,her training kicked in and she had reacted like she had be taught. She could still hear her father's words in her ear, Never let anyone you don't know touch you. There are enemies at every turn, hiding in every shadow. Keep a weapon on hand at all times. If you have no weapon, make one, if you fail to maintain it, become one. She never understood why he trained her so hard. That was the one aspect of her life that he was completely cold and uncaring. Once they entered the dojo, he was a different person. He wasn't her father anymore, but her trainer. It was after training, that he reverted back to himself and took care of the bumps, bruises, and later cuts, that she had earned on the mat. Her hand lightly traced the scars on her thighs and stomach. She would carry some of his lessons for the rest of her life. She understood that he was trying to protect her, and teach her to take care of herself, but she had definitely overreacted with the gentleman in her store. It was a shame she'd never get to apologize. Her thoughts slowly turned to Josh. How did he know she was in trouble? It was more than coincidence. He should have been working the bar at that time. She started when her phone started ringing. Muttering quietly under her breath she got out of the tub and answered it. "Karen! There's no time to explain. Get your ass to cemetery! And bring your kit." Josh's voice erupted out of the earpiece. "Josh!?! What's going on?" She asked frantically "Jesus! Karen there's no time! Please! Get a move on!!" He answered harshly before disconnecting. Karen sat stunned for about a second before she was up and moving. She ran to her closet, and opened the hidden door behind all of her girly dresses. Reaching in, she grabbed a pair of black cargo pants and jacket, a black tank top and her double shoulder and thigh holster, along with her boots and black ball cap. After she hastily donned all of her gear, she ran downstairs and opened up yet another hidden door in the hall closet. She packed her pockets with clips of all sorts of ammo. As she stuffed her pants and jacket her mind was racing. He sounded angry, and in pain. What was going on? How did he know about her kit? That was only something her and her dad knew about. It was their secret code for all of her weapons. Why would Josh need all of her fire power? Pushing her thoughts aside she willed herself to be calm. If Josh was in trouble, she needed to be 100% there mentally. After she finished packing herself with extra ammo, she reached back in and began drawing out her weapons. Two hand guns went into the shoulder holster, another was added to her thigh, her shotgun got strapped to her back, followed by her compound bow and arrows. Once she was armed to the teeth, she jumped into her jeep and sped off down the road towards her, now, least favorite spot ever. * * * * * * * * Theo threw himself into his workout. He had tried to go back and talk to Annie to explain what was going on, but she met him with hostility and after screaming at him for a good 5 minutes, she slammed the door in his face. He grunted as he did a combination kick on the punching bag. He had deserved every minute of her yelling at him. His wolf growled softly in indignation. Oh hush. We're not alpha yet, she's basically the same rank as we are right now. His wolf whined softly but consented. Suddenly the door to the gym slammed open. "T! T! Come quick there's some sort of fight going on in the cemetery! It's helluva entertaining. From what we can gather, a group of dudes ganged up on a guy sitting by a grave. We're placing bets to see who'll win, I'm betting on the single dude!" Exclaimed his best friend Cody before taking off back towards the cemetery. Theo shook his head and smiled softly before taking off after him. The Pack's grounds shared a border with the city in 2 places, the park and the cemetery. After a hard five minute run, he and Cody reached the others who had gathered around to watch. All of the attention was focused on the fight that had broken out. There were 4 large men dressed in black surrounding one dressed in everyday clothes. The fight was raging and the other wolves filled Theo in on what had happened. "Okay, so the little dude was just sitting by one of the graves, it sounded like he was talking to it, but from this distance we couldn't understand what he was whispering. Then the first big guy walked up and tapped him on the shoulder. The little guy looked up and then jumped back after seeing who it was. After that the other three came out and they've been going ever since. The little dude is really holding his own, but he got hit really hard about 2 minutes ago..." the narrative dropped off as the wolves heard the little man calling someone on his cell phone. "Get your ass to cemetery! And bring your kit." All of a sudden, Theo's heart dropped into his stomach. That was the same guy from earlier from the stained glass shop. His wolf growled at the memory of the man holding his woman. Cody noticed the change and grabbed theo's shoulders. "Dude what's wrong?" "Nothing..." growled Theo, his tone making it clear not to question him any further. The wolves shrugged and went back to watching the fight. Now there was only three against one, since one of the larger men was laying on the ground motionless. Suddenly, one of the wolves pointed to the tree line on the edge of the cemetery. There a shadowy figure was stalking through the trees towards the fight. This new person was much more interesting than the fight so everyone fixed their eyes on him. They watched as he got closer and closer until he was about 25 yards from the fight. The person then scaled a tree, and whistled a short tune. The fight stopped for a brief second while the large men looked around. Only the little man looked relieved before the slumped to the ground unconscious. "That must be the person he called." Said Cody with quite anticipation "I wonder why he scaled the tree?" Theo chuckled, about to make a smart-ass remark when the wind shifted slightly, and he caught the scent of spices. "No," He breathed out "it can't be!" He had said it so quietly that no one else heard, or if they did they were all too caught up in the fight to bother with it. All of a sudden the figure in the tree drew dual hand guns, and opened fire. The sound of gunshots ripped through the air, each one hitting their mark on one of the three remaining men. Each one staggered, but all rose back up and started to approach the tree. The figure then drew out a shotgun and again opened fire, each shot hitting it's mark. This time the large men staggered back a few steps, but still remained upright and continued to advance. Then one of the wolves turned and said to the others "I'd bet my pelt that those are vampires, or some other sort of underworld nasties, the person in the tree doesn't have a chance." At that Theo's wolf went berserk, and came rushing to the front. Theo dropped to the ground trying to control the change, but his wolf was too strong. Cody and three other wolves grabbed him and dragged him back as he was about to jump the fence of the cemetery. "What the Hell Theo? Get a grip!" Cody whispered harshly "Do you want to attract those things over here and possibly back to the compound?" Theo whined and struggled, but the three other wolves wouldn't let him go. It took a total of five wolves to contain and control him as he fought. They ended up having to drag him all the way back to the compound. Once there, they put him in one of the padded rooms downstairs to wait until he got himself under control. As the door slammed shut Theo let out a soul tearing howl before slumping to the ground defeated. * * * * * * * * * * * * Karen was terrified. The men approaching her should have been on the ground by now, but none of her guns were working on them. As they stalked closer, she drew her bow and let an arrow loose into one of the men. He screamed in agony as light started to pour out from around the arrow. The other two men hissed and lunged for the tree. One of them, jumped and knocked her off of her branch. The other caught her as she fell. Karen struggled as they men started to rip away any of the weapons they could find, attempting to leave her defenseless. As Karen felt the last of her weapons being torn away from her she went completely limp, catching the man holding her by surprise, and he dropped her. Once she was free from his grasp she sprung up and immediately started to fight. Each one of Karen's kicks and punches hit their mark and she was able to keep the men away from her, but they weren't doing much damage. After about 10 minutes, she was able to knock one to the ground with a high kick to his temple, where he stayed unmoving . The last man however wasn't going to go down so easily. For each hit Karen got, he got three, and he was starting to do some real damage. Karen could feel that she had some broken ribs, a busted wrist, and a sprained ankle. Still she fought, thinking only about getting to Josh. She had seen him collapse, and that was what was fueling her. She managed to steer the fight back towards where he lay, and she could see that he was barely breathing, and bleeding from multiple cuts. The sight of her best friend re-energized her fight and she finally started to land heavy blows. As she was about to deliver the final blow to put this guy out like his friends, he drew a knife, and stabbed her in the side. Karen called out from the pain that blossomed from the wound, and buckled over clasping at the knife. Barely able to stand up, she was afraid that this was it for her. That all of her training, everything her dad ever taught her would have been a waste. Suddenly she remembered his words, Keep a weapon on hand at all times. If you have no weapon, make one, if you fail to maintain it, become one. She grabbed the handle of the knife, pulled it out, keeping one hand on the wound. By some miracle, she took the man by surprise, and plunged the knife to the hilt, right into his heart. The man staggered back, shock in his eyes before he fell to the ground. Karen fell to her knees, clutching at the pain in her side, she crawled over to where Josh lay, and grabbed his hand. "Don't give up, help will come." she told him as she slipped the last few inches to the ground "I hope..." She whispered quietly as her vision went black. The wolves on the hill sat in shock. They had never seen a human fight so well, let alone a female and with all the injuries she had suffered. Cody had returned just in time to see the last few minutes and was the first to speak up. "Welp, we can't just leave them there. The human police won't know what to do with those things, and the humans probably won't make it in a normal hospital. Also, judging by the way Theo was acting, I'd say these people mean something to him. Come one, lets go get 'em." The other wolves nodded in agreement and hurried over to where the bodies lay. They carefully gathered up Karen and Josh and rushed them to the compounds hospital, while the others dealt with the bodies. It took Theo a couple of hours to talk his wolf down, but eventually he managed.He walked up to the call button on the side of the door and asked for Cody. Within minutes he was there with clothes and a enough food to feed an army. Cody went into the cell, shut the door behind him and set the food and clothes down next to Theo. Cody watched him carefully as Theo dressed and then started to eat. "So what the hell was that about Theo? You've never lost control like that. Ever." "I don't want really want to talk about it, but lets just say that my wolf is a little confused at the moment and thinks that some human," he scoffed at the word "is my mate. The same human that showed up last night. He thought she was in danger and flipped. I didn't even have a chance to realize that I was changing until you and the others grabbed me." He let out a nervous laugh, hoping that Cody would join in. His smile slowly slid off of his face as he saw the thoughtful look on Cody's face. "Yah know, I wouldn't be surprised if that was true, Theo. The way that woman moves and fights is like nothing I've ever seen before. If there was any chance that a wolf would have a human mate, it would be that girl." Cody ended with a touch of awe in his voice. "You saw her fight? Is she okay? What happened? Who were the men dressed in black?" Theo rushed out, jumping to his feet and heading to the door. Cody got up and intercepted Theo before he could reach it. "They're fine. The human male is in pretty bad shape, the female also took some heavy damage but has already regained consciousness. The four things that they were fighting turned out to be Night Fairies, the female was able to kill one of them due to the iron tipped arrow she shot at it. We have the other three locked in holding tanks. Now Theo, I know you want to go see her, but with her condition and the state of your wolf I think it's a bad idea." Theo bristled and growled as Cody quickly lowered his eyes and bared his neck. " I'm not trying to challenge you, or tell you what to do. I'm just talking to you as a friend. I really do think that it would be in the best interest for you to not go see her." Theo stopped and rubbed his face. "I"m sorry Cody, I'm all out of whack right now. Nothing seems to be going the way I want it to." He sighed heavily "I need to see her, my wolf won't relax until I see her safe." Cody looked back at his friend, skepticism shining in his eyes. "I don't know T. Besides, if you act up Becca will have a fit. You know how she is with her patients." Theo chuckled, "Yeah, you're right. I promise to behave, and you have my word, should I begin to act rash, I'll leave. I just want to see her safe, and make sure she's going to be okay." Cody gave him a lopsided grin and a nod and they headed to the pack hospital. * * * * * * * * * * * * Karen woke to the soft beeping of the different hospital machines that she was hooked up to. Groaning she sat up, wincing as pain that blossomed in her side. She looked down and was shocked to see a 4x4 bandage soaking up fresh blood as a result of her moving. What happened? Where am I? Suddenly, as if someone had hit play on a movie, the images from last night came rushing back, fighting off three huge men dressed in black, the stabbing, then her world going dark. Josh. The thought shook her to her core. She dragged herself out of bed, wincing and groaning as all her injuries protested. Grabbing the cords hooked into her arms she yanked them out, setting off the alarms for the nurses. Ignoring that she stumbled out the door and into the brightly lit hallways. "JOSH!" she screamed and she started forward looking for his room. One of the nurses ran up and grabbed her shoulders, " You can't be outside your room! You need time to heal! You've already opened up most of your wounds!" she said quietly and though a bit frantic, as she tried to control the feisty human. "NO!! I need to find Josh! Where is he? Please! I'll do whatever you want just please take me to Josh!" Karen begged, half yelling half sobbing. "Okay, Okay, I'll take you to him, but you have to sit still and let me hook you back up to your IV." Karen nodded numbly, and let herself be reattached, and then led to the room across the hall. Inside Josh was awake, laying in bed covered in bandages, "What on earth are you yellin' about Sugar? I'm right here." he wheezed out, with a small smile "Oh my God, Josh! Are you okay?" Karen asked, wrenching herself from the nurses grasp and stumbled over to the side of his bed. Josh chuckled softly, as the nurse started muttering under her breath because Karen had ripped out her IV again. "If you don't calm down chickadee, the nurse is likely to tie you up," he said beckoning the nurse to come over and hook Karen back up before leaving the room. "Everything is going to be fine Kare-bear" he lifted his hand to brush away the tears that were starting to fall. "Stop that now darlin' I might not have a whole lot of time left, and there's some things I need to tell you. Your dad entrusted me to keep you safe, and right now you're flying blind. See, you're not fully human, and your other half is the last of it's kind." "What do you mean I'm not fully human?" Karen asked incredulously Josh took a shuddering breath, " Your Momma was a Spyrim or Soul Nymph, the last of her kind. She lured a human male to her so that she could continue her race. She was dying when she met your father. She died when you were one and he created a story that you could understand. By saying she left, he gave you anger, which was fuel and a reason to train and learn to protect yourself. When you turn 25 this year, the half of you that has been dormant all these years will awaken. It will be a hard, long process before you fully master having two selves in one body." Karen sat in shock as she listen to him speak. After a minute or two of silence, she blurted out the first question she was able to fully form in her mind. "What's a Soul Nymph?" Josh let out a weak laugh, "They were one of the first kinds of creatures on this earth, along with vampires, werewolves, and other assorted fairies. The reason no one knows about them, is because they were hunted until only a few remained. You see, Soul Nymphs are incredibly powerful, sexual beings. Where a water and tree nymphs can bend their elements to their will, a soul nymph can control the souls of others. This trait was what led to their near extinction. The leaders of the other races would go out and find an Spyrim and take it back with them. They would then use it to continue their races by forcing it to force others to mate with that species. Most of the Spyrim died when they refused to commit these atrocities. Because you are only half Spyrim, I don't think you'll be able to completely control someone, maybe just influence their feelings, but I do know that you will have the same sexual appetite as one. That is what is going to make the awakening so much har..." "Wait! Are you saying I'm going to turn into some sex crazed, emotion controlling thing?!? Josh I swear if you're joking with me, I'll hit you!" Again Josh let out a soft, wet sounding chuckle. "I'm sorry Sugar. I wish I was, and there is one more thing I need to tell you. This body of mine isn't going to last much longer, I'm going to be leaving for a little bit. Once this body fails, I'll move over to Elslond, where all Fae go to recuperate, heal and create new humanoid bodies. It may take awhile for me to come back, but I will give you an early birthday present. It'll start the awakening early, but this way we'll be able to talk, and visit, though briefly, until I can come back." "Josh, you're being silly, you just need to rest, and sleep and let the doctors here make you feel better. You're not going to go anywhere, you're not going to die. All this talk of magic and fairies is just your hallucinations from blood loss. Please, stop talking like this." Karen choked out as tears started to fall once again. Changed Ch. 02 "Shh, shh, darlin' it'll be okay," Josh whispered as he reached up, cupping her neck in his hands and pulling her down to rest forehead to forehead. Slowly, Josh's breath grew shallow and short. "No... Please..." Karen sobbed, holding his face with her hands. Josh looked up and smiled "I'll... see you... soon... Kare-bear......dimittes... eam.... incipiunt." Karen felt a sharp pain behind her ear where Josh's hand was before it slipped limply from her body. Reaching up she felt a strange design, that was sore to the touch. "What the..." She looked down to ask what he had done, only to realize that he was gone. "NO!!!" She screamed, grabbing his shoulders trying to shake him awake " No no no no, Josh... God! No!" Suddenly large hands grabbed her shoulders and began to pull her away. She struggled ignoring the pain she was feeling as her wounds reopened further. "LET ME GO!!" she screamed, but more hands joined the first set as the nurses dragged her off of the body. "JOSH! NO!!" * * * * * * * * * * * * Cody and Theo were just walking into the hospital wing when they heard the commotion. All the nurses were running towards one of the intensive care rooms. Outside of the room, three large men were trying to contain a very angry, very loud human female. Theo's heart jumped in his chest when he saw her again, though it quickly dropped back to his stomach when he noticed all the fresh blood that was soaking her hospital gown. She was screaming and yelling at the male nurses that were holding her, calling them names that would make a sailor blush. Inside the room, Theo noticed all the nurses around the male human, obviously trying to resuscitate him. "Oh god..." he said under his breath and started towards the male nurses. "Theo," Cody said cautiously. "Relax Cody, I'm going to take her back to her room and try to calm her down, she shouldn't be here to see this." Cody nodded his agreement and went into the room to see if there was anything he could do. Karen noticed Theo as he approached. "Make them let go of me!" she demanded " I have to get in there, he needs me!" "I'm so sorry, I can't let you go in there, there is nothing that can be done for him now. You however need to go and lie back down before you do more damage to yourself" Theo said gently, pushing just a tiny bit of his power into his voice to calm her down. "If you'd like I can take you back to your room myself, or I can have these gentlemen drag you there, it's you choice." Karen let out a heart wrenching wail before going limp. Theo quickly closed the distance and scooped her up in his arms and walked swiftly back to her room, while she sobbed into his neck. Theo sat on the edge of the bed and held her as he watched the strong woman in his arms crumble. They sat like that for ages, Theo gently muttering soothing words until Karen fell asleep. He gently laid her back on the bed and then sat in the visitors chair to wait. For the first time in a very long time Theo felt a deep calm. Yes his woman was physically and emotionally hurt, but she was here with him, and he would not let her go. Changed Ch. 02 A/N: This is the sequel to Changed, where 18-year-old Laci Black woke up to find she had a sexy, buxom body. In this chapter, the truth about her transformation is revealed and she gets fucked by a huge cock. Enjoy! --- The nearest club was a place called 'Steel'. It was within walking distance to Laci's apartment and didn't take that long to get to. Steel was exclusively 21-and-up, but the bouncer didn't bother to card her. He took one look at her and ushered her into the club with a slap on the ass and a "have a good night". Inside, it was dark and loud. Laci could feel the bass from the music pulsing through her and she liked it. The place was filled with drunk men and scantily clad women, but Laci noticed that none of them could begin to compare to her, which was just how she liked it. After scanning the crowd, she determined the bar would probably the best place to pick someone up. Many guys sat on stools all alone, nursing beers and staring out at the girls shaking their asses on the dance floor. Laci approached and leaned against the bar in front of the bartender. He was cute, maybe 28, with dark hair and a bit of stubble. She pressed her tits against the wood so the man could get a good view of her frankly massive cleavage. "What'll it be, baby?" the bartender asked, barely able to tear his eyes away from her chest. Laci grinned and leaned even farther forward. The pressure from her tits caused the V she'd cut into the shirt to rip even further. The bartender stared. "Just vodka," she said finally, sliding back onto one of the stools so the bartender could see her nipples poking through the shirt. "I'm Jack," the bartender said as he sat her drink in front of her. "Laci." She downed the vodka in one gulp and handed the glass back. "Get me another, would you?" Jack brought her a second glass and she gave it the same treatment. "Say, Jack... You wouldn't happen to want to meet me in the alley in five minutes, would you?" Laci grinned as Jack's eyes widened. He glanced around and noticed another bartender working a little ways down from him. "Baby," he said. "I'll meet you right now." "Great!" Laci hopped off her stool and her tits wobbled beneath her shirt. She led Jack out into the alley and shoved him against the wall before the door had even shut behind them. Her mouth sought his and she kissed him with all her pent-up passion. Her tongue snaked into his mouth to play with his while her hands threaded in his hair and scratched at his scalp. Jack's hands did what any man's hands would do: they found her tits. He tried to palm them, but they were too big and round for him to wrap his hands around, so Jack settled for pushing her shirt up over them and bouncing them in his hands. He squeezed her thick nipples and Laci moaned into his mouth. Laci pulled back and grinned at him before dropping onto her knees on the wet pavement. Jack couldn't believe his luck as she tugged open his belt and jeans. She didn't even bother to push them all the way down. She lowered them just enough to get his cock out. She took the steely member into her hand and gazed at it. It wasn't particularly large - maybe five inches at the most. It certainly wasn't big enough to bring her the pleasure she craved, but that didn't mean she couldn't pleasure him. Before he knew what was happening, Jack's cock was buried in Laci's mouth. Her nose pressed against his stomach as her head bobbed on his dick, sucking and licking all the way down. Jack moaned loudly and cupped the back of her head. He fucked her face hard and rough, but she didn't mind. In fact, she was moaning, too! She was moaning as if he were fucking her five ways to Sunday and Jack loved it. One of Laci's hands cupped Jack's balls, to squeeze and tease him there, while the other hand sneaked beneath her skirt to frantically rub her clit. She wondered idly what sort of picture they must paint, her on her knees with her enormous tits hanging out and a hand in her cunt while she sucked off this random guy. The thought made her even wetter. "Fuck," Jack groaned. "Fuck, I'm going to --" Before he could finish his sentence, he was cumming into Laci's mouth. She eagerly swallowed every drop. She even sucked harder and squeezed on his balls to try to milk a few more spurts out of him. Once she was sure he was done, she tucked him back into his pants, stood, and patted him on the cheek. "Thanks," she said, tugging her shirt back down. "Run along now." Jack looked at her, dumbfounded, but wasn't one to argue. As soon as he'd disappeared back into the club, Laci heard a voice behind her. "Well, well, well. Laci Black. Look how you've...blossomed." Laci turned to stare at the man stepping out of the shadows. He was young, possibly younger than Jack, with dark eyes and a smile that sent a twinge straight to her cunt. And he looked so familiar... Laci gasped. "Mr. McKinley?" This man standing in front of her was the man who had been subbing in her chemistry class for the past week. She'd never noticed how sexy he was before. "Please," he said. "Call me Derek." He stepped closer to her and placed a hand under one of her breasts, feeling its weight. "Damn." His tone was appreciative. "I sure did a good job." Laci blinked, torn between wanting to throw herself at him or question him. She decided there would be time for throwing herself at him soon enough. "What do you mean?" Derek squeezed one of her nipples through her shirt and twisted it. "I'll explain everything, baby. But let's go back to my place." With a hand on her ass, he led her to his car. --- Derek lived in an enormous apartment beside a club Laci had never noticed before - a place called Pulse. She settled herself on one of his plush leather couches and admired his ass in his tight jeans while he poured them each a drink. He came to sit beside her and handed her one of the glasses. He sat and stared at her for a while, appraising her, and Laci found herself growing more aroused under his watch. "So," he said at last. "I'm not actually a teacher." "What are you, then?" Derek shrugged and sipped his drink. "Some might call me a scientist, others a magician. Me? I prefer the term...genius." "What are you talking about?" "You see," said Derek. "I saw you one day and knew you had enormous potential. You were just a stick of a thing, of course, but that was what I wanted. So the transformation to this --" he waved a hand over her body "--would be even more fantastic. I got that gig teaching so I could be around you. You know all those experiments we did? They were all shit. No real purpose other than to release a certain chemical into the air. It's a special compound of my own that completely rewrites someone's body and mind frame to make them into, well, horny little sluts." Derek reached over and pinched one of Laci's hard nipples. She moaned and arched her back. "But," Laci gasped, fighting the urge to slide her hand between her thighs, "does that mean everyone in my class is like this?" Derek chucked and pinched her nipple harder. "That's the beauty of it, babe. Designed specifically to target your DNA. Picked a hair off your sweater as you came through the door one day and we were sold. I've been pumping you full of that stuff all week.Takes about five days to activate, as you can see." He pressed her tits together and bounced them in his hands. "Fucking fantastic." Laci moaned again. "That's amazing." "Isn't it? And there's only a teeny, tiny price." One of his hands landed on her thigh and inched closer and closer to slipping under her skirt. Her legs fell open and she shifted her hips, dying for his touch. "Price?" she groaned. "Just a little one. You see, I created you. That means, I own you. Don't worry, there won't be any of that 'call-me-master' stuff. I prefer the term...handler." He squeezed a tit for emphasis. "But you can just call me Derek. Anyway. That club next door, Pulse? I own that. And you're going to work for me. Tuesday through Thursday, you'll be my feature dancer at night, and then Friday through Saturday you're going to whore yourself out for me. Sunday and Monday are all yours to fuck as you please. What do you say?" Be a stripper and a hooker? Get to tease and screw guys every day? Sounded like heaven to Laci. "I say yes, please." Derek laughed and his fingers brushed her soaking panties. "Atta girl. Oh, and one more thing." He got up and crossed the room to retrieve something from the refrigerator. Laci pushed a hand under her skirt to pinch her clit, moaning in relief. Derek returned to sit beside her with a black case in his hand. He opened it and showed her a bunch of syringes with different colored liquids inside. "This is your default body," he explained. "But sometimes, you might have clients who want something a little different. Or maybe you just want to try something new. All of these are mods. One shot and you can be anything - taller, skinnier, curvier. You could have a bigger ass or tighter cunt or, hell, bigger tits. They last for twenty-four hours. But there's a price." "What?" Laci groaned. "For every mod you want for a client, you give me a blowjob. For every mod you want for yourself, you have to fuck me." "Deal." "Good. Now, take off your clothes. I need to admire my work." Laci leapt from the couch and tore her clothes off. Derek looked her up and down, then walked a circle around her. He cupped her ass to feel its roundness, then smacked it hard enough to leave a mark to watch it bounce. He passed a hand over her cunt and it was entirely soaked when he pulled it away. He made Laci lick it clean, groaning at the way her tongue darted around each finger. He cupped her tits, pressing them together and up, watching them bounce and jiggle. "These are my favorite," he said. "You've got such huge titties, baby. They're so sexy." Then Derek stepped back and pulled his shirt over his head. Laci admired his sculpted torso and lean muscles as he bent to pull his pants off, too. His boxers fell to the floor next and out sprung a massive dick. Laci shook with pleasure at the sight of it, standing rigid with thick veins and a bulbous purple head. Derek flopped back onto the couch with his arms over the back and his legs apart. His huge cock pointed to the ceiling. "How big?" Laci asked, in awe. "Eight and a half inches" was his reply. "Now, giddyup." Laci rushed forward. She was burning with arousal. She needed to fuck this man, needed his massive dick inside her, and she wasn't going to waste any time. She climbed on top of him and straddled his waist. holding herself just above his cock. She reached down and wrapped her hand around him. He was so thick, her fingers barely closed. Laci stroked him a few times and then lined him up with her slick cunt. Then, unceremoniously, Laci impaled herself on him. She took all eight and a half inches without flinching. Her tits bounced at the force she used to slam down onto him. A scream of pure pleasure escaped her throat as she began bouncing on his dick. Derek leaned forward and buried his face in her massive cleavage. He sucked one nipple into his mouth while his hand teased the other. Her tits continued to bounce against his face as she rode him. Laci reached down to rub her clit as she rose up so only the fat head of his cock remained inside her. Then she slammed back down, taking all of him. He felt so good. Laci was so full, clenching around his amazing, big dick. She could feel him in her womb, stretching her cunt to new widths. "Fuck, yes," moaned Derek into her tits. "Take my cock, baby. Oh, yeah, ride me, you dirty slut." Spurred on by his words, Laci said, "You feel so good, Derek. Your dick is so big and it feels fucking fantastic in my cunt. Do you like my titties, baby? Do you like how fucking enormous they are?" She grabbed them for emphasis, shaking them in his face. She squeezed her own nipples, pulling them and twisting them, and tossed her head back and screamed in pleasure. Derek groaned. "Yes, holy shit, yes. Fucking hell, I've never gotten so close so fast. You're amazing. Are you close, baby? Are you going to cum for me, you little whore?" "Yes!" Laci screamed. "Yes, I'm little whore?" "Yes!" Laci shouted, riding him faster than she thought possible. "Yes! Yes! Fuck, I'm cumming!" And cum she did. She screamed and spasmed, her cunt clenching and unclenching rapidly around his dick. Her tits bounced as she continued to take him again and again all through her orgasm. Derek came next, shooting stream after stream of hot, sticky cum into her wet cunt. "Oh, and did I mention?" Derek said lazily. "You can't get pregnant or catch diseases." Laci moaned happily. Hot arousal was already flooding her again and she began rising and falling once more on his still rock-hard dick. "Baby," she said sweetly. "I think it's time you fuck me like the dirty whore that I am." Changed Ch. 02 Immediately she dropped her hand. “Ok.” And went off to the bathroom. I sighed heavily as she walked down the hallway. Again I watched her backside as she walked away, her black hair swaying. Hmmm. I wonder what she would look like with long hair. It had been shoulder length since I had known her. Well, lets find out. I didn’t know if it would work when I couldn’t see her but I decided to try it anyway. I thought of making her hair longer and longer, past the middle of her back, all the way down past the bottom of her ass. That would be long enough. I thought I had felt something as I pushed but I couldn’t be sure. Then I thought it would look good braided so I pushed that thought her way too. I would know soon enough if it had worked. I continued working around the place for about another hour while Julia cleaned up. She usually took long showers so I didn’t think much of it. When I heard the bathroom door open I turned to look. Out walked Julia, naked again. She was walking at me and I couldn’t see her hair. She had an odd look on her face. “You know, I don’t remember my hair being so long before, I mean, it must have been because it didn’t just magically grow!” she laughed, but it sounded like a nervous laugh. “And there’s no hair on my pussy anymore! I’m completely bald between my legs! I wasn’t like that before, was I?” She was starting to sound a little more nervous and confused and I didn’t want that line of questioning going any further. I pushed into her mind that she should just accept the changes and that she liked them, she wouldn’t worry about where they came from. “Oh well, I guess it doesn’t matter. My hairless pussy felt much better when I was playing with myself in the shower anyway. And the long hair looks really sexy, don’t you think?” having said that she turned around. It certainly did look sexy! She had done her hair in two thick, long braids that came down to about the middle of her thighs. The long braids swished back and forth as she walked around the room. The tips were tied with little blue ribbons. She looked really hot! Like some kind of perverted schoolgirl. “Oh shit! I have to get to work!” Julia suddenly cried out and she ran into the bedroom to get dressed. I hadn’t realized that she had to work at all this weekend but I probably should have. Julia managed a woman’s swimware store in the local mall and it was just coming on springtime. The thought of all those beautiful women coming in to try on bathing suits started another surge of excitement in me. Maybe I should drive Julia to work… No I couldn’t go in there yet. I might loose control and do something that would cost Julia her job. Or worse yet, land us or someone else in Jail. I had to practice more where it was safe. Julia came running out the bedroom a few minutes later gave me a quick kiss on the lips and flew out the door. “I’m closing tonight and I have to do inventory, so I’ll be home around midnight. Love ya!” She yelled up the steps as she ran to her car. I looked out as I closed the door behind her, saw her get into her Miata and go tearing off up the road. Well, I thought, so much for practicing tonight. You should rest anyway, the Bonding took much of your strength. It will take you several days to recover. Came the feminine voice of Marcellene. “Do you only show up when no one is around?” Would you like people to think you are talking to yourself? Retorted the voice, she sounded a little amused. “Good point.” I acknowledged. As I said this I caught sight of the redhead standing on her steps five doors down. She smiled and waved. I waved back and though of going over and introducing myself but just then she turned and walked into her condo. I watched her curvy body walk up the steps and saw the door close. Just as the door closed I saw her peek back out and look at me with a smile on her face. “I would kill for a body like that.” I said to no one in particular. Then why don’t you change yours? “I can do that?” The notion surprised me. “I thought I could only change other women’s bodies.” The ring will work on any female body, yours is no different. It should work the same as it does on Julia. But I do confess that it has never been tried because you are the first woman to ever gain my powers. I thought this over as I walked back inside. Did I really want to change myself? My body wasn’t bad. Five foot six inches, average weight, decent weight, c-cups fairly nicely shaped, dirty blond hair a little past the shoulder. Not a fashion model, but pretty in a ‘Girl next door’ kind of way. I looked over at the end table and all of Julia’s fashion magazines. I looked at the beautiful girls on the covers, not like these girls, they were breathtakingly lovely. I could never be like that. They were perfect examples of womanhood. Of course even these women didn’t look that good in person, these cover shots were touched up to make them more than perfect. No woman could look like that. As I looked at the pictures the thought dawned in me, maybe I could. I sorted thru the magazines and found the most beautiful woman I could. She was blond, of course, about my height, slender waist, wide hips and heavily breasted. I studied the picture for about five minutes, committing it’s every curve to my memory. When I was sure I had it memorized I went into the bedroom and opened the closet door so I could see the full-length mirror. I closed my eyes and pictured the models body, then I pictured myself. In my imagination I looked pretty dumpy next to her. Then I slid the models picture over mine and pushed them together. I felt heat flare thru my body for an instant, then it was gone. I opened my eyes and screamed. I almost didn’t recognize the person that stared back at me. It was my face but that was about all. The body was that of a fashion model, slender and toned. Shapely legs led up to wide, curvy hips and a flat tight stomach. Next was a set of massive, firm breasts that seemed to somehow defy gravity. The face was mine but the skin was smooth and unblemished, like fine porcelain. And finally the hair, which had been shoulder length, dirty blond and a little thin was now golden blond, thick, full and it went down to about the middle of my back. I quickly stripped off my shorts and tanktop, the latter of which was stretched right to it’s limit. I had never in my wildest dreams ever thought I could look so sexy. I looked like I should be on the cover of a porno magazine! I looked incredible. I was surprised to notice that my pussy was now hairless, just like Julia’s. I hadn’t expected that but it looked really sexy. “Wait till Julia sees this!” I said to no one. She may be jealous., Came the disembodied voice of my new companion. She had a point. “The I’ll just change her to,” I paused, “if she wants it, that is. She can be whatever she wants to be.” The thought of giving Julia massive breasts like mine was an instant turn on. Why hadn’t I done that before? Suddenly the room started to spin and the floor seemed to be slipping sideways away from me. I managed to get to the bed without falling and I sat down heavily. You must rest or you will collapse! The ring has taken too much of your power today, sleep. “I think you may be right. I’ll just take a little nap.” I curled up in bed naked and was asleep in moments. It was a little past midnight when Julia came home. The bedroom was dark and she didn’t turn on the light. She stripped off her clothes and climbed into bed with me. I noted that she came right to my room tonight and didn’t go to her own bed. She planted a soft kiss on my cheek and snuggled up next to me. “I have a little surprise for you tomorrow.” I said to her. “Oh really, what?” “You’ll have to wait for tomorrow to find out. Now, let’s get some sleep.” To be continued… Changed Ch. 03 This is the continuation of the "Changed" story, I recommend that you read chapter One and Two first. This is a work of fiction and all the characters and events are fictional. If you are under the age of 18 or are in an area that prohibits erotic fiction then leave now. This story depicts lesbian sex and mind control, if that's not your thing then leave now. You've been warned... I woke up the next morning before Julia and sneaked quietly into the bathroom so as not to wake her. I looked back at her as I closed the door. She was lying on her side facing away from me and the only thing covering her was a sheet over her legs and bottom. Her perfectly toned and tanned back was exposed to me. She was so beautiful it made my heart ache. I quickly closed the door and turned on the shower, not now, I told myself, later... later. The room warmed up as it filled with steam and I stepped under the hot water. It felt good on my tired muscles. I hadn't realized how sore I could get just having sex. I must be more out of shape than I thought. I thought with something like envy that Julia probably wasn't sore, she worked out for at least an hour a day to keep herself looking firm and toned. The thought of her tight little body made my pulse quicken and I felt myself getting aroused again. Stop it! I mentally yelled at my self. Think about something else, like what to do about my new body. It's not like people wouldn't notice that I went from plane Jane to swimsuit model overnight. Well I guess at work I could wear my hair up for a while now that it was a foot longer than before. The color change wouldn't matter, they would just assume I colored it, I had done that before. I could wear baggy clothes for a few weeks, maybe a month or two and slowly transition into more normal things, sexy things. People would just assume that I was dieting or exercising or something. But Julia would certainly notice, I couldn't hide it from her. How would I tell her? After considering my alternatives, I decided to play it straight with Julia. I would tell her that I found a magic ring and that it let me control women's minds and bodies. I would let her know that's how her hair grew, why her tongue was so much longer and why she was now bald between her legs. I would also tell her that was how I had changed myself. I wouldn't tell her that I had made her into my lesbian nymphomaniac lover. I figured that she didn't need to know that. She probably wouldn't believe me but I could use the ring to influence her thoughts and make her believe in my new powers, and to like them. In fact, I would use the ring to make her love the idea of me controlling other women. When I was done with her mind she would want me to get beautiful women for us to share! I had a mental image of Julia and I walking around the mall looking for a couple of tight young college girls. She could pick them out and I would make them walk over to us and start flirting, trying to seduce us, even if they weren't lesbians. They would come home with us and Julia and I could share them all night long. I was getting so turned on just thinking about making Julia want me to get other women for us that without even noticing at first my hand wandered to my crotch and I started to finger my slit. The foreign feel of my newly hairless pussy brought me back to reality. It felt so different than it used to, but it actually felt better, kind of naughty. A soft moan escaped my lips as I pushed my middle finger up inside. I reached my other hand up and cupped one of my new breasts. It felt huge and heavy in my hand, so different from just yesterday. I figured I had gone up at least two full cup sizes, maybe three. The hot water pounded on my back as I sank to my knees and started to seriously get on with it. The tip of my finger found my clit and started making gentle little circles. Waves of pleasure flowed through me and I moaned louder. My other hand found my very hard nipple and started to pull and twist, driving me even higher. In what seemed to be only seconds my first orgasm struck with a speed and force that shocked me. I rocked back and forth on my knees as the passion coursed through my veins. I pushed two fingers up into my pussy and the pleasure surged upward again. I bit my lip so I wouldn't wake up Julia, but little squeaks and grunts filled the shower stall, I just couldn't keep them all in, it was so intense. I continued playing with myself for several more minutes and several more orgasms until I decided that was enough for now. I didn't want to spend all of my energy first thing in the morning, it was going to be a long day! I lay down in the shower stall for several minutes, letting the hot water wash over me and trying to calm my racing heart. This new sex drive was going to take some getting used to. I had never had an orgasm that fast by playing with myself, actually I hardly ever played with myself, it never really satisfied me before. But now, well, that had certainly been very satisfying! Five orgasms in just a few minutes, I had never done that before the ring. The ring had changed me. It had allowed me to have more orgasms than I could count on the two occasions I'd had sex, both with Julia, since I had put the ring on. Before the ring sex had never been as fulfilling as it was now. With the best male lover I had ever been with, the most climaxes I had was four in one night, and at the time I thought that had been incredible! Then my first time with Julia I had cum at least eight or ten times in less than an hour. Then yesterday had been just as good. We didn't play for as long so I hadn't had as many climaxes but the ones I had seemed to be more powerful and last longer. It was as if my body was still being changed by the ring, like my sex drive was still gearing up. I wondered how much higher it could go. The thought made my heart race again. I had to stop thinking about sex! Standing up I started washing myself up. I marveled at how long and full my hair seemed now, it didn't even feel real to me, it was so strange, like I was washing someone else's hair. I finished washing up, got out and dried up. I admired my new body again in the full length mirror behind the door, did I look sexy or what! Stepping out of the bathroom I saw Julia sitting naked on the edge of the bed, she must have just woke up, her hair was tousled and she still looked a little groggy. She smiled when she saw me but her eyes quickly went wide as they trailed down my new body, she looked up into my eyes, confused and a little scared. "What happened to you? You look so different, so... so... sexy! How did you do that?!" Her eyes were still very wide ad she scooted back on the mattress a little. OK, here goes, I thought to myself. "Calm down and I'll explain everything to you." I pushed on her mind to be calm. She took a deep breath and sat back, her alarm disappeared immediately. She looked at me waiting for me to explain. "Friday I found a ring when I was up on a jobsite in Maine. When I put the ring on it turned out to be a magical ring. A woman, a sorcerer named Marcellene, is bonded to the ring, her soul is trapped in it. This woman in the ring gave me the power to control women, all women, completely." I explained as calmly as I could. That was a pretty distilled down version of the story but I figured it would do for now, I could always tell her more later. "What do you mean 'control', how do you control women? Any woman? Are you controlling me?" she asked with maybe a little bit of worry in her tone. I pushed on her mind to be calm and accepting about it then I continued, "It allows me to control any woman's mind completely. I can make her do anything I want, think anything I want, anything at all. I can also change her body in any way at all, into any shape I want, well, within limits I guess." She still appeared calm and now looked on with interest so I decided to take it to the next step. I pushed harder on her mind, pushed her past acceptance, past liking the idea on into loving the idea of controlling women. Her eyes immediately went wide with a fresh surge of excitement. I saw lust flare in her beautiful dark eyes and wondered for a moment if I might have gone a little too far. "Does that mean you can just walk up to any woman and make her strip on the spot? Could you do that? Can you just make any woman have sex with you?!" She was leaning towards me and her words came out in a rush as her excitement grew. "Yes, I can make any woman do anything." I said simply. "Does that give you any ideas?" "The redhead." She said, obviously thinking that was explanation enough. "What? Who do you mean? You mean the new girl down the row?" I asked, figuring the answer. "Of course! She is really hot, and she has a twin sister, a TWIN! Can you imagine how kinky it would be to have lovers who were twins? Ooohhh, I'm getting so wet just thinking about it!" She leaned back on the bed and started to play with her cunt, stroking it with long slow motions. "Wait a minute!" She said sitting up, "What about your new body? That long hair, those huge tits, and that killer ass. How did you do that! You can change yourself too?" "I can change any woman. How do you think your tongue got so long, and your hair. And remember how you don't have any hair on that tasty little snatch anymore? I changed you!" It last I said with a little smirk. "You changed me? I don't remember that!" She said, her hand still working between her legs. "I made you accept it and like it." I said simply. "That is soooooo cool! I don't remember it at all! It really does work, oh, I'm so hot just thinking about it! Can you imagine what we could do!" She laid back down and spread her legs wide, showing me her bald cunt, she was soaking wet. "This is making me so hot, come over here and help me, I need you, please! Make love to me!" Already very turned on, I was more than ready to help out my friend. I crawled onto the bed, in between her legs and gave her a gentle kiss on the hand that was working away there. She slid her middle finger out of her pussy and rubbed her juice on my lips. I opened my mouth and eagerly sucked the juice from her slender finger, she tasted divine. She tasted even better to me than the first time I had licked her. The taste of her juice made my need flare up even more and I buried my face in her. I slid my tongue into her and twirled it around, savoring her taste. She started moaning loudly and bucking her hips, rubbing herself my face. My hands wrapped under her legs and I grabbed a hold of the tops of her hips to keep from getting thrown off. I sucked her clit into my mouth and holding it with my lips, began to rapidly flick the tip of it with my tongue. "Oh, too much... too much... AAAAHHHH!!!!" She screamed as she came in a intense rush. She was bucking wildly as she came and I could barely hold on but I still managed to push on her mind to keep her cumming. She kept arching her back, lifting her ass off the bed trying desperately to fuck my face. As her pussy continued to spasm with pleasure, her hot, sweet nectar flowed out and I licked up every drop I could. After about ten minutes I figured she was about to pass out so I let go of her clit and made her stop cumming. She collapsed on the bed and just lay there panting and moaning softly. "That was incredible" she said softly. "Now it's your turn." She gave me a wicked grin, "Come sit on my face, I want to taste you." Sitting up I first bent down to give her a kiss. She eagerly kissed me, then licked all of her pussy juice off my face. "Mmmmm, my pussy tastes so good, I know yours will be even better! Now sit on me so I can fuck you with my tongue!" I got up, and facing her I spread my legs, lowering myself onto her mouth. I looked down and my breath caught in my throat with the look of unbridled lust in her eyes. Her hands grabbed my ass and her lips found my clit, just as I had done to her. She sucked my clit and flicked the tip of it with her tongue. My head fell back and I moaned. "Ooooh,, Julia, you little nymph! Oh, you're so good! Ooooohhhhh!!!" My head rolled forward and I opened my eyes. She was looking directly at me, our eyes locked and I could see the devilish smile in her eye. Then I felt her long tongue slide into me, the tongue I had given her when we had first had sex. She slid it slowly into me, gently licking my most intimate places, working deeper and deeper. When she was all the way in she twirled it around a little then slowly drew it out, still tickling my sensitive places till she was almost out. Then she started back in again, repeating the process. After two round trips I couldn't hold out any longer, I exploded. My hands shot up and clutched my breasts, fingers pulling hard on my stiff nipples. Wave after wave of fire burned through me as I came. I started grinding against her face as I lost all control, desperate for more pleasure. Julia continued her slow, sensual tongue fucking on my cunt as I came again and again. I looked down at her again as I rode her face. Her beautiful face was covered with my juice, her dark, slanted eyes were still open, watching my every move, but there was a fire in her as well. Looking behind me I could see that her fingers were working furiously between her legs, she was about to cum again! This girl was insatiable! Seeing the lust in her eyes and her fingers between her legs sent me over the top again. As I started to climax I pushed on her mind to make her cum with me. We climaxed together, out cries of pleasure filled the room. He screams were muffled by my pussy but they were still music to my ears. I continued to ride her face as the last waves of pleasure slowly subsided. I climbed off Julia and lay down next to her. She turned towards me and kissed me tenderly and I tasted my juices on her lips. We kissed for a few minutes and I finally stopped and rested my head on her chest, nuzzling her firm breasts. After a few minutes Julia spoke, "Well I need a shower and I think you need another one, care to join me?" We went into the shower together and washed each other very thoroughly. The feel of Julia's soapy hands rubbing all over me got me going again but I resisted the urge. We could have more fun later but not just yet. I needed to rest for a few minutes and I was also starving. Julia finished washing me up and I washed her up. I savored the feel of her smooth skin as my soapy hands slid over her. She let out a little moan as I slid a soapy finger between the lips of her cunt for a few short strokes. We got out, got dressed and had breakfasts together. While we ate we discussed what we were going to do today. "Well, I have to go to work today. In fact I have to leave in a few minutes." Julia informed me, she didn't seem very happy about it. "But we close at 6 o'clock tonight so I should be home by seven or so. Do you think you can round up some... entertainment, for tonight?" "What sort of entertainment did you have in mind?" I asked, knowing full well what she wanted. "Oh, I don't know... maybe, oh... " she looked at me out of the corner of her eye and smirked, "the redhead?" A surge of excitement ran up my spine at the look she gave me. Lust, pure lust, I had created a monster... a sex monster... a lesbian sex monster. "I'll see what I can do. Now you had better get ready for work. We don't need you getting fired. I don't feel like paying all of the mortgage my self every month and you're to cute to throw out on the street, now scoot!" Julia got ready for work and with one last lingering kiss was off. I had the whole day to myself, what to do, what to do. It wasn't a very hard decision. I looked down at myself, I was dressed pretty sexy. Tight short shorts, and a skimpy tank top. Actually most of my tops looked a bit tight and skimpy with my new boobs. I would have to go shopping soon, but not now. I went out the front door and down five doors to the redheads condo. It occurred to me that I wanted to seduce this girl and I didn't even know her name. I walked up the steps and was just about to knock when I noticed a package on the steps. It was an overnight mail envelope and it was addressed to Miss. Alissa West. Well, now I had a name. It was from someone in Boston, MA named A. Beston. Nothing else interesting about it and I was just about to put it down when an idea occurred to me. I stepped up to the door and knocked. After a minute or two I was movement behind the frosted glass, the door opened a few inches and the redhead looked out. "Can I help you?" she asked with a quizzical look on her face. She was as pretty in person as she had looked from across the yard. She had long, straight red hair, a pretty face with lots of freckles and green eyes. I couldn't see much else behind the door but it looked like she didn't have anything on except a towel. Must have just gotten out of the shower and been doing her hair or something. Her hair did look just a bit damp. "You can if you're Alissa. I think I got a letter that was meant for you." I said holding up the big envelope. She looked down at the envelope and smiled "Oh, thank you! Yes I am Alissa, Alissa West. I just moved in and I suppose the postman doesn't know my name yet." As she said this she opened the door wider and I got a better view of her. She was quite stunning even in a towel. She was a couple of inches taller than me, maybe five-eight or so, big breasted, flat stomach, curvy hips, long legs...quite sexy. "Well, I figured it was a good excuse to meet you anyway. I'll have to thank the postman for introducing us." The joke was pathetic but she laughed politely anyway. After a moment of awkward silence she spoke, "Yes, well, thank you again, I actually have to go in a few minutes, I have to meet a client." "On a Sunday? That doesn't sound like much fun. What's so important that it wont wait till Monday?" I gave her a little push to trust me and want to keep talking to me. "I work for a modeling agency and sometimes weekends are the only times I can meet certain clients. It sucks, but it's the job." Modeling agency... hmmm, that had potential. "It's a shame you have to go. I had hoped to get to know you better. I know, how about you come over for dinner tonight. Julia, she's my roommate, gets home about seven. We weren't going to do much tonight, probably just pizza and watch a DVD or something but why don't you stop by. " I gave her a big push to be eager to get to know me and Julia better. "That sounds great! I just moved into town and don't really know anyone. I'll be nice to have someone to hang out with. I'll see you at seven." She gave me a little smile and closed the door. Well, that wasn't quite what I had wanted but it should work out well anyway, I thought to myself as I walked back to my condo. She is quite beautiful. Very different from Julia, but still beautiful. Are you planning to take her tonight? The soft, feminine voice of Marcellene asked into my thoughts as I entered my front door and closed it. "I was wondering when you would show up. Where have you been? I haven't heard from you all day." I asked to the empty room. It still seemed strange to be talking to no one and even stranger to have that no one talk back. Marcellene was my new permanent companion. Her spirit was bonded to the ring on my thumb about 5000 years ago in a magical accident of her making. I had gained her power and the power of the ring when I put it on by mistake. The ring gave me the power to change women into whatever I wanted them to be but it had also changed me. I had become addicted to sex, specifically, sex with women. Marcellene could talk to me in my mind and while no one else could hear her, I could talk back to her. She could also see through my eyes and feel everything I felt. Changed Ch. 03 Hours had passed as Theo sat, staring intently at the little human female fast asleep on the hospital bed when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "There was nothing they could do for him" him best friend said mournfully. "His wounds were too great for him to recover, and it seems he used his last energy to speak with your human" Heaving a sigh, Cody sat down next to his best friend. "I've looked into the girl to see who we could contact to let them know that she will be MIA for a few weeks" He let out another heavy sigh "She has no one Theo, her mom disappeared when she was a baby, her dad died about a week ago, that guy, he was the last person she had..." Theo growled softly, "She has me now, and the pack too." "I know that, you know that, but she doesn't. You have to be ready for those kinds of emotions to be the first displayed when she wakes up. Which brings me to my next bit of bad news. Brett said that she has to be sedated for a few days to give her time to heal the new wounds she gave herself." "Since when does the Alpha dictate what happens in the Hospital?" Theo ground out harshly "Since I told him that I thought it was best if she was sedated," a light female voice responded bluntly"Besides, Brett is very interested in this little human after being able to incapacitate 3 fully matured Fairies. Not just any Faires either, she took down Night Fairies." Theo slumped his shoulders and groaned while Cody let out a soft chuckle. "Hey there Becca, you're looking mischievous today." "Why thank you Cody," she said smiling at her brother, before crouching down in front of Theo, "I know you didn't want Brett to find out about this, that for some strange reason you want to keep her hidden, but as the pack doctor, I had to let him know of any possible threat to the pack. You know that. Please don't be mad with me." Theo groaned again, but he could never stay mad at the pretty, blonde woman in front of him who was as much his little sister as she was Cody's. "I'm not happy with this," his said finally, "but you know that I could never stay mad at you Becca. However, I will be staying here with her and there is nothing either of you," he looked pointedly at Cody "can say to stop me." Becca sighed and tucked a loose curl behind her ear, "I'm okay with that as long as no more harm comes to the patient. If you being here distresses her in anyway you'll have to leave, and if you won't listen to me or Cody, then I'll have to call Brett, can you promise me that?" Theo simply nodded, his mind in a whirl about the information he had just received. Night Fairies were truly evil creatures, servants only to the Vampires. One of their main objectives was to find the night's meal for their masters, though there were other, more twisted jobs that they performed as well. There was no telling as to why they attacked the male human. They only ever traveled in groups of two, having four of them there was astonishing. Letting out a harsh breath, Theo realized that it was going to fall to him to figure out all of these questions. Cody watched the emotions run across Theo's face. With a sigh, he laid a hand on his shoulder and squeezed gently. "Don't worry man, we'll figure this out. just stay here, I'll bring you a plate from dinner." Theo rewarded him with a small smile and a nod, though his eyes were fixed on Becca as she administered the sedative through Karen's IV. "Come on Sis, lets get out of here and get something to eat," Cody said lightly as he placed a hand on the small of her back guiding her out before she had a chance to protest. * * * * * * * * Karen groaned softly as she struggled against the heavy blanket of sleep that clouded her mind. Opening her eyes, she saw that she was in a hospital. "Josh?" she croaked out, trying to look around through the sleep in her eyes. The tears started to fall before she could stop them when she realized that he wasn't going to be there for her anymore. All of a sudden she wasn't so sure she wanted to be awake any more. There was no one left for her, she was completely and utterly alone. The sound of footsteps hurrying into her room and her looking around again. "Josh?" She asked hopefully, blinking to try and focus her eyes. Theo growled softly, but quickly stopped himself. "No. I'm sorry Ms. DeRusse, Josh is in a better place now." Karen nodded as fresh tears started to flow. Quickly wiping her eyes, she finally got a look at the man who had walked in, warm honey brown eyes stared back at her, full of kindness and sympathy. Theo watched as the confusion crossed her face, a small smile forming on his lips. Even with suspicion and tears in her eyes she was sheer perfection. He gave her a few moments to to make the connection in her mind before speaking again. "Hello Karen, I'm glad to see that you're finally awake. You've been asleep for 4 days, in a medically induced coma to make sure that you healed as fully as you could before the sedative wore off. Is there anything I can get you?" He spoke softly so as not to upset her more. "I know you," she said, hating the way her voice sounded after not being used for a while. " You're that guy from the other day at my shop, YOU were the person who took me away from Josh!" Karen bolted out of the bed, grabbing the windowsill to keep from toppling over on her unused legs. She whirled around as she heard the man moving towards her. "Get out!" she said in a low voice "I never want to see you again!" "Karen, I'm not the enemy, I'm here to help you, you can trust me." Theo spoke quietly while slowly moving closer to her "GET OUT!" Karen screamed as she threw one of the plastic chairs at him. Becca came running into the room, with three nurses on her tail. She took in Karen, leaning against the wall panting and furious, Theo standing a few feet away bleeding slightly from a cut on his cheek, and the bits of broken chair in one sweeping glance. "Dave," she said calmly, "Please escort Mr. Farland out of the hospital, he has broken his promise and is no longer allowed in this room." she turned to glare at Theo, her normally warm blue eyes as cold as ice. Really Theo?!? she yelled across the pack bond. What did you do to her?!?! Nothing! She just woke up. You made her so upset that she threw CHAIR at you! Holding up his hands in surrender with a sigh, Theo walked out of the room without another word, followed closely by one of the nurses. After taking a few deep breaths, Becca turned back to the young girl standing in the corner. "Hello Ms. DeRusse, my name is Becca Hooper, I am the head doctor here at this hospital. I am so sorry that Mr. Farland has caused you any distress. He won't be back in here any time soon." she smiled softly when she saw that at her words Karen started to relax. "Please have a seat, I'm not sure that your body was ready for that amount of activity." she said sweetly with a touch of humor. "Please feel free to ask me any questions you have, while I check your vitals." Karen relaxed a little more, shooting a worried glance at the other two nurses that were still in her room, and shuffled back over to her bed where she sat down gently, allowing Becca to reattach her to the machines. Immediately she liked the tall blonde that had walked into the room as soon as she started speaking. Noticing the glance, Becca turned to the nurses dismissing them with a nod before sitting in the remaining chair left in the room. "Now, what can I answer for you?" she asked as she checked the machines. "I would like to go home," Karen said softly "I have a business to run, and a life that needs gluing back together." Becca sighed, expecting that to be the first thing said "Unfortunately you are not well enough to go home, there are also some things that need to be figured out before you can leave as well. Do you know what kind of creatures you took down the night of the fight?" "No, I thought they were human until they wouldn't stay down when I shot them. Even then I thought they might have just been hopped up on drugs or something like that. Are you telling me what Josh was saying is true? That there are other things out there, and that I'm not 100% human either?" "I can answer the first question, though this is the first I've heard about you not being human. The answer is yes, there are things out there that are not human, things that go bump in the night. Normally they try to stay hidden, but there are the rare instances when they disregard the rules that were set in place. Now, what was it that your friend Josh told you?" Karen took a few minutes to digest what she had just heard before answering slowly "He said that I was mixed, half human, half Spyrim, whatever that is. Then he did something to my neck, but I don't know what. He also mentioned that there was a chance that he'd be able to come back. Do you really think he'd be able to come back? He's all I have." Karen couldn't keep the tears out of her voice or from leaking down her face. Becca got up and sat down next to woman and hugged her letting her sympathy show through touch. "I don't know if what he said was true, but I do know that I can have some people go out and see if they can find any information." She let the woman weep on her shoulder for a while before asking, "Do you mind if I see what Josh did to your neck?" she felt the affirmative nod more than she saw it, as the Karen sat back and turned her right side to her. Becca's eyebrows shot skyward as she saw the faint blue design sitting right under her ear. The design seemed to pulse and move in time with Karen's heartbeat. "I've never seen anything like that, it's gorgeous, if not a little odd," She got up and grabbed a mirror and handed it to Karen, "See for yourself." Karen gasped as she saw her brand new tattoo. Becca was right, it was beautiful, but it was also scary. She could feel the slight power that seemed to emanate from it, and watched as the swirling sped up in time with her racing heart. "I'm going to take it that this isn't a normal thing in any type of person or creature" she said in an attempt at humour. "No, I don't think it is, but don't worry, we'll send someone out to go gather information to learn more about both you and Josh." Becca said lightly with a smile "How about I get you some clothes, and we can go for a little walk." Karen's eyes lit up and she agreed wholeheartedly. A walk would be just the thing she needed to clear her head and get her body started on the road to recovery. They only walked a few minutes before karen began to tire. Then they headed back to her room where she layed down and immediately fell asleep. Becca left her her number written on a napkin with instructions to call her if she needed anything. After that was done she ran straight to the Alpha's house. The door to Brett's study was closed, so she knocked gently instead of barging in. She was shocked when Theo was the one to open the door. "What are you doing here?" Her anger from earlier came rushing back "Wanted to make sure Brett heard your argument first? So he'd allow you back in that room to torture that poor woman? You're pathetic!" She finished at a yell. She didn't care if she was speaking out of line, she had grown fond of Karen in their short amount of time together and she wasn't about to sit by at let Theo mess with her. "Becca," the deep booming voice came from inside the room "Please come in, and I'll fill you in on why Theo is here." Becca huffed and pushed past Theo to go sit in front of her Alpha, bowing slightly as she approached. "I have information regarding the human patient and what has happened." she said firmly, but without real heat. "I'm sure you do, but first, Theo was not in here to plead his case. He came in here to see if there were any assignments that he could take to get away from the compound for a while." "I didn't mean to upset her Becca." Theo said in a defeated voice that instantly deflated her. "Theo," she groaned softly and shook her head "I'm sure you didn't, but what ever happened, she threw a chair at you!" Theo chuckled softly, gently touching the already fading cut on his cheek. "Yeah, she certainly is something isn't she?" Becca sighed and chuckled "Man, you've got it bad," she taunted. "I'm sorry I reacted so badly, you know how I get about my patients. However, if you truly want to get away, I have something that you might find very fulfilling, and you might not even feel bad about leaving." Becca paused as she waited for his answer. "Well, what is it?" Brett asked "Does this have anything to do with the Night Fairies?" "Yes!" She said excitedly "Karen was told by her friend Josh that she is part Spyrim, and that he could possibly come back after a while. I think that sending Theo out to figure out what on earth a Spyrim is, and everything about them, he'll be able to figure out why the Night fairies wanted her. Plus, if he was to find out anything about her friend Josh, I think that would win him major brownie points with our little human." "I don't know," Brett said as he looked thoughtfully to his second "information mining isn't really something that a high ranking beta normally does." "I would rather do it, than trust anyone else to figure out what my mate is and how to help her. You cannot deny me this Brett. If it was Marla, how would you feel?" Theo asked hotly. Brett growled softly before seeing the truth of his words. "Okay, you may go, but you must report in every week." "Of course Alpha." Theo said quickly before bowing slightly and leaving the room. "At least we'll get our answers quickly" Brett said to Becca "Now, is there anything else you need Hun?" "Yes," she said sheepishly, "I would like Karen to come live with me once she's released from the hospital. Besides Theo, whom isn't very liked at the moment, I am the only one she knows and I would hate for her to be forced to live alone and not have anyone around. Plus, I can help keep the pack a secret until she is ready to find out about us as well." Brett raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment. "I don't see why not, if you really think that it's the best choice for her. I'll let the rest of the pack know what will be happening once the human is well enough. Also, you're right, we can't have her learning about the pack too soon so we'll need to be careful." * * * * * * * * THREE WEEKS LATER Karen wiped the sweat out of her eyes and she panted, trying to get her breath back. Sparring with Becca was quickly becoming one of her favorite pastimes, even if it meant getting her rear end handed to her on a silver platter. The two women had been sparring and working out ever since Karen was well enough to leave the hospital.It was slow work, but Karen was almost up to speed, after a few more deep breaths she steeled herself and assumed a block position. "Really Karen? You want to go again? You're ridiculous!" Becca said with a laugh before she attacked without warning. The fight lasted a little longer than normal, Karen finally being able to use her body again. It was a spinning back kick that ended it and had Becca kneeling down clutching her wrist. "Oh my god, Becca, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you! Do you need to go the the hospital?" Karen asked frantically and she rushed over, any feelings of victory dying away. "It's fine Karen, I'll be fine. I shouldn't have let my guard down." Becca said breathlessly "Let me see, if it's not broken I can pop it back in place." Karen said as she grabbed her friends arm "Karen! No!" Becca tried to warn her, but it was too late, Karen held her wrist as the bones reset and began to heal. Karen sat is shock as she felt the bones knitting themselves back together under her fingers. She looked at Becca, with questions written all over her face. Becca sighed and then flopped back onto the mat "Man! I'm gonna be in so much trouble!" She groaned again as Karen stared at her "I'm a werewolf," she said matter-of-factly. "Everyone here is, you've been living on a pack compound since you first got to the hospital. I would have told you sooner, but I didn't think you were ready to handle more supernaturals running around. I'm sorry." Karen sat in shock for what felt like forever. "That means Theo is too, doesn't it?" Becca groaned. "He's going to kill me for telling you, instead of letting him be the one to do it." "He won't lay a hand on you Becca, not while I'm around," Karen said with fire in her eyes "It's a good thing he hasn't been around or we would have had words already. He's probably run off to mommy and daddy." Becca burst out laughing at the thought of Theo running to his parents. "He wouldn't actually hurt me Karen, he's a really great guy, you just have to give him a chance." Karen just harmphed. "I'm surprised that you're taking this news so well," Becca said looking up at Karen. "Meh, after what I've been through it wouldn't be the worst thing I've learned, besides that explains some of the things I've been noticing, like how fast and strong you are, or how you never bruise for longer than a day, or how there are dog toys and a collar and leash in your house but you have no dog..." Karen laughed at the look on Becca's face as she mentioned the dog toys. "You found those?!?" She asked incredulously before she tackled Karen to the ground. "I'll teach you to snoop around my bedroom!" They were laughing so hard as they grappled on the floor that neither of them noticed the man standing in the doorway until he cleared his throat. "Theo!" Becca shouted "You're back!" She and Karen untangled and she ran and hugged him. "I've missed your ugly mug around here!" "I've missed you too Becca, how are things going here? I see that Karen is feeling better." Theo answered with laughter and an underlying heat in his eyes as he watched Karen get up from the mat though she refused to look at him. "I'll see you at home Becca, meatloaf for dinner." Karen said shortly before taking off towards the duplex she and Becca shared. Becca put her hand on Theo's chest to stop him from going after her "Let her go. She's still pretty upset with you. Come on, we'll go see Brett and you can tell us about what you've learned." Within 5 minutes Becca, Cody, Brett and Theo were sitting at one of the large tables in the compound's library. "So Theo, what do you have?" asked Brett. "Unfortunately I wasn't able to find out anything too deep in relation to the Night Fairies. Vamps are pretty strict on keep any association with them down even though everyone knows that they are connected. As for Spyrims, I've found out some pretty important things which might be why the Night Fairies were after her. The most important thing that I've found is that Spyrims can mate with any creature and suffer no consequences. When mated to a shifter, they are able to retain what they were before the turning as well as gain the animal that they are mated to. So Karen will be able to shift to wolf, and do everything that a normal mate will, but also retain her Spyrim nature as well. The most shocking thing that I've found, which could be why the Night Fairies were after her however, is that any male child conceived by a Spyrim, will be born as a full blooded version of the non- Spyrim parent." Everyone at the table gasped as they heard the last bit of news. It was unheard of to have full blooded children being born to half breed creatures. This was especially huge for the creatures, such as vampires, who couldn't have children. A pure born vampire would be one of the most powerful creatures to walk the earth. "No wonder the Night Fairies wanted her." Brett said softly, "I'm sure one of the local seethes is behind the attack on her friend and her. We need to protect Karen at all costs. Not only is she going to be a huge benefit to the pack, but we need to prevent the vampires from getting a hold of her. Good work Theo. Take a couple days to get used to being home again, I would also suggest to staying away from Karen for a little bit, but that's not an order. I need to go call some people, I'll be in my office if any of you need me." Changed Ch. 03 As Brett left, Cody turned to Theo, "Did you find out anything else?" "Yeah," Theo said miserably "Her emotions are going to be whack for the next few months, I'm surprised that it hasn't already started though. The mark under her right ear was put there by her friend, which started the process early. He is a Day Fairie, and his mother was friends with Karen's mom. Her mom asked him to keep an eye out on her. Anyways, on full Spyrim, the mark covers their entire body, I don't know how big Karen's will get, but those marks are the pathway in which their power flows from them into another being. Spyrims are known for their ability to control people completely. I'm assuming Karen will have some sort of power like that as well. I also heard a rumor about a journal left somewhere in the south, but I don't know if it's true or not." "That doesn't sound so bad," Cody quipped "Why do you look so miserable then?" Theo groaned and let his head fall to the table "Any release of power, or any strong emotion that she feels is going to progress her change. As her change progresses her tattoo will grow, and as that tattoo grows she'll be sexually energized. Now I don't know what that means, but I have a funny feeling it's going to drive me absolutely crazy." Becca and Cody sat stunned for a moment before bursting out into laughter. "Oh man Theo, you are going to have your hands full." Becca said as she gasped for breath. "Don't remind me. It's bad enough that she hates me, now she's going to hate me AND be horny all the time. " Theo groaned again "I'm going to head home and take a shower." As he got up to leave, he turned and looked at Becca thoughtfully "Did you tell Karen that I live in the other side of the duplex, or that her bedroom shares a wall with mine?" Becca smiled sheepishly "Nope, I thought you might like to tell her yourself." Changed Ch. 03 I have been here with you all day. I cannot go anywhere. I just did not have anything to say before. She seemed hesitant but then continued, Some of my masters in years past did not like me to interrupt their thoughts, did not like me in their head, it made them angry. So I learned to be quiet and just observe. That didn't seem like much fun to me. "Well you can talk to me anytime you want... well, when were alone anyway. I won't mind." Thank you mistress, you are very kind. It can be very lonely in here. But you did not answer my question. "You'll just have to wait and see Marcellene, wait and see." I smiled with the thoughts of things to come. "So, did you enjoy yourself this morning?" Oh yes! It was a most enjoyable morning. Julia is quite talented and that long tongue is exquisite. I hope you will make love to her again tonight! "Like I said, you'll have to wait and see." I spent the rest of the afternoon doing housework. The place was a mess from me being away most of last week. Julia wasn't much on housework and the place needed some help. By six o'clock the place is something close to normal again and I sat down at the computer to check my e-mail for the last few days. Sixty e-mails, yikes! About half personal, half work. I left off the personal ones for later and sifted through the work mail. Mostly crap, not me, delete... don't care, delete... is me, don't care, delete... not me, don't care, delete... and on and on. A few were important and I left them for the office on Monday. The last one was from the owner of the company, it was the list of applicants for my new assistant. The company had decided to hire me an assistant for the summer, a co-op from one of the local colleges. I looked through the list of five names my boss had called in for interviews on Monday; Joshua, Mark, Tony, John and Kevin. Shit, all guys. I had hoped there would be at least one girl in the mix. Having some cute little college freshman as an assistant would have been nice. Oh well. As I shut off the computer I heard the front door open, Julia was home. I looked at the clock and it was twenty past seven. Alissa was late. I wondered if my mental push hadn't worked on her. Maybe I needed more practice. "Hi sweetie." Julia came right up to me and gave me a hard kiss on the lips. "So, did you make any... plans, for us tonight?" The look in her eye would have melted butter on the spot. At that moment the doorbell rang. Julia looked at me, cocked and eyebrow and said "Oooo, you're good." "Timing is everything." I walked to the door not entirely sure what I would find. I opened the door to find Alissa standing there. She must have just come from her business meeting because she definitely wasn't dressed casually. She was wearing a tight black skirt that came to mid thigh, a white blouse, black spike heels and a long black dress coat. She looked very stylish and sophisticated. She also looked incredibly sexy. "Sorry I'm so late, I just couldn't seem to get away from this client tonight. This woman wanted a few of girls for a bedding catalogue and she just wouldn't make a decision! But I'm really so sorry, it's so rude me to be late when I just met you and were so nice to invite me over and all!" She said it all so quickly that I couldn't even get in a word to tell her not to worry. She finally stopped to get some air. "Don't even give it a second thought! It's not a problem. Julia just walked in a minute before you anyway. Oh, I guess introductions are in order." I turned towards Julia, "Julia, meet Alissa... Alissa, Julia." I said, making the appropriate motions with my hand. Julia and Alissa both smile warmly and shook hands. "It's so nice to meet you" from Alissa. "I was just saying to Mary when we met that it's so nice to make some new friends. I just moved here from Oregon a few weeks ago and it's so hard meeting new people in a new town. My sister lives in the area, that's partially how I ended up here, but she's a nurse and works nights so I don't get to see her too much." Julia smiled brightly "Well you have a few friends now! Come on in, make yourself at home. I'll go get some wine an something to munch on." Julia went into the kitchen and I led Alissa into the living room. She sat down on the couch but didn't look very relaxed. Her hands were in her lap and she was sitting a little too straight. Not very comfortable with us yet, I thought. Well, that would change. Julia walked in with a bottle of Pinot Grigio, along with some crackers and cheese. Setting them down on the table she sat right next to Alissa. Alissa seemed a little unnerved by Julia's proximity so I gave her a little push to relax and enjoy herself, she was a little too stiff for what I had in mind. She seemed to relax and I poured us each a glass of wine, half a glass for me a full glass for Julia and a very full glass for Alissa. Julia started talking with Alissa, getting her to talk about her job, her family, hobbies, just any thing to loosen her up. I wasn't really paying attention as the girls talked, I was watching Alissa, trying to decide how to seduce her. I could just push on her mind and make her strip for us but that didn't seem like much fun, too easy. How then? After a few minutes I had it. By now Julia and Alissa were at the bottom of their second glass each of wine, and Alissa's had been very full glasses. She seemed to be loosening up quite nicely. I started making little changes to her as we all talked. Nothing drastic, very slight changes, a little at a time so she wouldn't notice. A little push here and a little push there. I took quite a while but after forty minutes or so I figured I had accomplished what I wanted. By this time we were well into the second bottle of wine and Alissa was pretty drunk and Julia wasn't far behind. I was still on my second glass. I figured it was time to let the real fun begin. When Alissa scooted forward to pour herself another glass of wine I caught Julia's eye, raised one eyebrow and nodded slightly at Alissa. Julia bit her bottom lip to keep her smile under control. Getting onto her knees she slid around behind Alissa and placing hands on shoulders said, "You still seem a little tense, let me give you a back rub." Not waiting for and answer, Julia started working on Alissa's shoulders. Actually Alissa didn't seem tense at all, in fact with all the wine she had downed, she was about as mellow as anyone I had ever seen, but she was so tipsy that she didn't have a prayer of figuring out what Julia actually had in mind. "Oh that feels wonderful. It's been so long since I had a good backrub." Alissa said and she hunched forward slightly. For the next few minutes I watched as Julia and Alissa continued to talk and Julia continued to rub her back. I watched as Julia worked her hands down and down, she appeared to be quite good at it and I made a mental note to have Julia give me a backrub sometime soon. Julia's hands eventually made it down to Alissa's bottom. Julia seemed to take a little extra time massaging the top of Alissa's ass and her hips but eventually started working her way back up, rubbing her outer back and sides. When she made it to her armpits, Julia moved up to Alissa's neck. I had been watching Alissa's reactions through much of this and she appeared to be in a world of complete bliss. Her eyes were closed and she had a small, contented smile on her dark red lips. As I looked over her body again I noticed that her nipples had become hard and were poking out through her thin blouse. She must have been getting a little turned on by Julia's tender ministrations. Perfect. Julia had continued to rub Alissa's neck and shoulders, working her hands around to the front of her shoulders and working her slim fingers along the collarbone. She continued to rub back and forth across the collar bone, working lower and lower, until she was working her fingers across the tops of her breasts. Then with one smooth motion she slid her hands down the silky material of Alissa's blouse and started massaging her full breasts. It had been so smooth that Alissa didn't even notice it for several seconds, then her eyes flew open and she head snapped up. "What are you doing! You can't just...!" Julia gently pinched Alissa's hard nipples, the nipples that I had been changing for the last hour to make them much, much more sensitive. Alissa gasped and her eyes rolled up and her head rolled back, "Oooohhhh." she let out a long, soft moan. "What are you doing? Oooohhhh!" As Julia continued to fondle Alissa's breasts she leaned in and started kissing the exposed side of her neck. Alissa moaned again, louder this time. "No, no I can't... I have to go... oooohhhh! Please... let me go..." Julia was pinching Alissa's nipples again, rolling them in between her thumb and forefinger. Alissa raised a hand and for a moment I thought that she was going to try to pull Julia's hand away. But Alissa put her hand over Julia's and started to help fondle her own breast. It was incredibly erotic to watch. Alissa leaned back onto Julia and moaned again. Julia stopped fondling her breasts and while still kissing and nuzzling the side of her neck, started to unbutton Alissa's blouse. "What are you going to do with me?" Alissa asked in a dreamy but still worried voice. Julia looked up and gave Alissa a soft kiss on the cheek, "Anything you want." With surprising speed, Julia got off Alissa's blouse and I admired the view. Alissa was now lying back against Julia, her head on Julia's shoulder. Her large breasts, what I could see of them, were covered with freckles just like her pretty face. They were supported by a simple, black silk bra, which I was happy to notice, had a front clasp. Unable to contain myself any longer I crawled across the coffee table and leaning over the moaning Alissa, unhooked the clasp, it's two sides snapped back, not quite exposing her nipples. Bending down I planted a soft kiss between her freckled breasts and started making a trail of small kisses under one breast. I worked my way around her breast, leaving little wet kisses, pushing back her bra with my nose until I had her whole breast exposed. Her nipple was large and surprisingly dark considering her skin was so fair. But it was very hard and looked delicious. Tracing up the underside of her breast with my tongue, I worked up to her nipple and made a slow circle around the sensitive skin. The anticipation must have been too much for Alissa, "Oh God, just suck me! Suck on my tit! Please suck on me!" She was practically begging. Eager to oblige her, I wrapped my lips around her stiff nipple and sucked on it, rolling my tongue around it inside my mouth. "What are you doing to me? Oooooohhhhhh! I can't be doing this! You have to stop! It's not right... it's... it's ... oooohhhh!" She grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled my face hard into her tit as she continued to moan. Her mind might not want this but her body certainly did! By now, Julia had some how managed to get Alissa's bra completely off and had undone her skirt. I reached down and slid her skirt out from under her, taking her panties off at the same time. I released her breast and started working my way down between her legs, leaving a trail of wet kisses on her flat stomach. Julia got out from behind Alissa and quickly removed all of her own clothing. She climbed back onto the couch and straddled Alissa's middle. Leaning forward she kissed Alissa hard on the lips, her hands went up and started fondling Alissa's big breasts again. I was now on the floor between Alissa's legs looking at her pussy and Julia's, I couldn't decide which to pleasure first so I decided to work on both. I put a finger to each of them and started rubbing up and down inside the soft folds of their cunts. Both girls started to moan as their pleasure increased. Alissa brought her hands up and very tentatively touched Julia's sides. She ran her hands slowly along Julia's smooth skin, still not sure what to do. Finally she worked up the courage and brought her hands around to Julia's breasts. Gently at first, then with more urgency she squeezed and pulled on Julia's firm little breasts. Julia was obviously enjoying the attention. She broke their kiss and sat up, allowing Alissa to see her breasts and watch the pleasure she was feeling. Julia brought her hands up and grabbed Alissa's still nervous hands. "Ooohhh yeah baby, that's right! Squeeze them like this! Mmmmm!" Julia moaned as she helped Alissa fondle her breasts. When Julia sat up I couldn't get at her pussy anymore so I concentrated on Alissa's. Pushing her knees far apart I admired the neatly trimmed red curls above her pussy. I bent down and licked her glistening slit with the tip of my tongue. Alissa cried out and arched her back, almost throwing Julia off in the process. "NO! It's too much! What's happening to me?! I... I... can't, no... no, please stop! I... ooohhh! Oh, do that again... eat me again! No! Oh God..." She was moaning and gasping. More aroused than she had probably ever been in her life but scared and confused at the same time. I looked up and saw a tear rolling out of the corner of one eye. I realized she was terrified, she was on the edge of panic. Maybe this is a little too much for her, I thought. I felt a little guilty, I didn't mean to hurt her, just have some fun with her. Well, this would make her happy I thought. I mentally braced myself and gave her a big push, I turned her mind form straight to lesbian in an instant. Another push and she was eager to be Julia's and my new lover, she loved both of us now. Alissa sat up in a flash, wrapped her arms around Julia and latched her lips onto one of her breasts. Julia, clearly surprised, gasped and cried out softly with the unexpected pleasure. She ran her finger up the back of Alissa's head and grabbing two handfuls of red hair, held the red lips to her sensitive tit. I decided it was time for a little more fun and mentally pushed on both girls to make their pussies and nipples super sensitive. I also made it so when either one of them came the other would too. Then I thought, why should they have all the fun, I had changed my body yesterday, why not today too. I imagined my pussy and nipples were very sensitive as well, and for good measure I made it so I would cum with them too. I felt an instant flash of heat between my legs and in my breasts, then it was gone. Bending down I again started eating Alissa's deliciously wet twat, but the reaction was entirely different this time. Alissa let out a shrill scream, followed quickly by another. She jerked backward, pulling Julia down on top of her. "Oh, yes, yes, YES!!!! I'm CUMMING! AAAHHH!" Almost immediately my orgasm started as well. There was no build up, no warning at all, just an intense explosion of ecstasy, like liquid fire running through my veins. It was shocking how fast it came on. I screamed and I heard Julia doing the same. She was cumming just as hard as me. I held my face between Alissa's legs and eagerly drank all of her juice even as I rode the waves of my orgasm. Alissa clung to Julia as another orgasm approached . "Oh you girls are so good! Oh yeah, eat me baby, eat me! Ooohhh, I'm gonna cum again! Ooohhh!" Julia managed to disengage herself form Alissa somehow and was just crawling onto the floor next to me when Alissa's orgasm made her cum too. Julia collapsed onto the floor, moaning softly "Oh, I'm cumming again. Oh fuck, I'm cumming, ooohhh." Her hands went between her legs and she started playing with herself. I leaned over and kissed Julia's breasts just as I started to cum with her. Panting with delight I fell on top of her and we grabbed a hold of each other, clinging to each other desperately as waves of pleasure assaulted us. As the pleasure ebbed I rolled off Julia, completely exhausted. I lay on the floor on my side, eyes closed, gasping my breath back. Increasing the sensitivity of my pussy also seemed to have increased the power of my orgasms. I had only had two so far but I felt like I had about twenty. It must be the same for the other girls as well. Then I felt someone move next to me. I opened my eyes to see Alissa lying down next to me, her head close to my crotch. She nuzzled in and pushed her face in between my legs. Still tired but also still very aroused I lifted one leg and allowed her access to my sex. Her eager tongue had me moaning again in moments. Julia had watched all this for a few minutes and now that she was rested she wanted to get in on the action. Julia slid her face between Alissa's legs and had her first taste of the redhead. I felt more than heard Alissa's long moan as Julia started her exploration inside Alissa's tight snatch. The thought of Julia licking deep inside Alissa with that long tongue made me moan even louder. I slid over and, grabbing Julia's ass, I buried my face between her legs. Julia was very wet, my face was soaked with her juice in moments. I wondered if the changes I had made in her made her pussy wetter or if she had always been like this. I didn't wonder about it for long. Julia had finally slid her long tongue all the way into Alissa. Alissa yanked her head out from between my legs and yelled, " Oh my God what's in my CUNT! OOOOHHHH! So deep... so good! Don't stop... OOOOOHHHH!!!!" Alissa slammed her face back between my legs and stuck her tongue up into me again, frantically licking the inside of my pussy. It was too much for me and I went over the top again. I kept my face burried in Julia's delicious pussy as I came. As the ecstasy took me I could feel Julia's pussy tighten around my tongue as she came with me. I felt Alissa's frantic, jerking movements between my legs and knew she was cumming too. I pushed hard with my mind on all three of us, wondering briefly if I could handle what I was doing or if my mind would break. White lights flashed behind my eyes as I doubled the pleasure and then doubled it again. With my last scraps of reason I pushed for it to last longer... two minutes... five minutes...ten minutes... I screamed, a loud tearing scream that hurt my throat. The other girls were screaming with me. What had I done! "TOO MUCH! I...I...AAAAAAHHHHH!" Julia was screaming too "SO GOOD! DON'T STOP! YES, YES, YES!!!!" "CAN'T STOP! WHAT?... HOW?... AAAAAHHHH!!!" Alissa screamed, her face still only inches from my cunt. We came for what seemed like forever. Somehow Julia and Alissa managed to turn around and crawl up next to me. We clung to each other as we all came. Sweat running down our bodies, faces contorted with ecstasy that no woman had ever felt before. It was soul shaking, it was more than that, it was mind shattering. It was too much for me and I passed out. The other girls followed me into oblivion shortly after. I woke up a little while later, the other girls still clinging to me, their beautiful bodies still covered in sweat and girl juice. Maybe that had been a little too much, I thought. My pussy, actually my whole body, was still twitching and I still felt the warm after glow of my orgasm. But my arms and legs were sore from my wild trashing and throat was raw from screaming. Dimly I wondered if one of my neighbors had heard all of the screaming and called the police. I didn't think so, I had lived here for a couple of years and had never heard a peep from my neighbors so the walls must be pretty soundproof. I lay there basking in the afterglow of our sapphic love session, amazed at how my life had changed, and how wonderful it now was. I thought I had been happy before, I was wrong. Now I was happy, this was bliss... pure bliss. After a few minutes Alissa woke up. She moaned softly and her eyes fluttered open. She looked up at me and smiled a lazy, dreamy little smile. "I hope I can hang out with you and Julia more often. You girls really know how to have fun." Changed Ch. 03 "You can hang out with us anytime you want sweetie." I said as I bent my head down and kissed her on the forehead. "Should we wake up sleepyhead?" Alissa said with a little nod towards the still sleeping Julia. "Why don't you wake her up with a little kiss?" Alissa didn't reply, she just sat up on her elbow and leaned over me. Her lips found Julia's and she slid her tongue into her mouth. Julia moaned softly. Her eyes didn't open but her hand went up to the back of Alissa's head, grabbing a handful of her long red hair. Not wanting to be left out I leaned it and shared their kiss. I nudged Alissa to the side and kissed her full lips, then I kissed Julia's, then back to Alissa. As I kissed Alissa, Julia pushed in and the three of us kissed, our tongues darting in and out of each others mouths. After a few minutes we collapsed back onto the floor. "I don't know about you girls, but I'm about done in!" I said. "You girls are something else! I've never experienced anything like that before in my life. It was incredible! I've never had sex with a girl before tonight, I never even considered it, now I don't think I'll ever want anything else!" She seemed to sober a little, "How am I going to explain this to my sister?" She sounded a little worried. "Just bring her by, we'll help you explain it." I said with a push on her mind. I saw Julia out of the corner of my eye, she was trying, unsuccessfully, to hide a smile. "Ok. It will be easier with someone to help me." She sounded so completely trusting, so innocent, that it made me feel a little guilty again. But one look into her pretty face and my lust flared again. She was happy to be with me, I told myself. I would make her happier than she could ever be otherwise, she would be happy being my lover. "Well I don't know about you two," interrupted Julia, "but I'm starving! I need a pizza!" Pizza seemed to make up about eighty percent of Julia's and my diet lately. There were about six pizza places that delivered to here and four of them were pretty good, so we had a little variety at least. I looked at the clock, quarter past one in the morning. Maybe we had been asleep for longer than I had thought! We must have passed out around ten or eleven. So we had been asleep for two or three hours! And my pussy had still been twitching when I had woken up. Wow, that had definitely been a little too much. Better not do that again, one of us might have a heart attack or something! "Well it's after one, not much is going to deliver now." I said as I stood up. My legs were trembling, I could barely stand. "And it doesn't look like I'm going anywhere soon!" I said laughing a little at my own infirmity. The girls were standing now and they didn't seem to be in much better shape than me. "I think Eddies Pizza is still open, they might deliver this late." Responded Julia. I called and got a gruff, older male voice on the other end, it was Eddie. No matter when you called, Eddie was there, he must sleep on the floor, I thought. "Hi Eddie, this is Mary, from Bay View Heights. Can we still get a delivery?" I asked in my sweetest voice. "Oh, I think we can manage it. You and Julia buy so much pizza I'll be able to retire early. What'll it be tonight? Or should I surprise you?" The gruff voice came over the phone but I could picture the old mans broad smile. "Why don't you surprise us tonight, but we have a friend over so nothing too wild, and no anchovies tonight." I replied. Sometimes we just told Eddie to surprise us. And he had made up some pretty bizarre combinations, most pretty good, but some were pushing it a little. "Be about fifteen minutes. Bye." He hung up. We got cleaned up a little and tried to straighten up the living room a bit, it was kind of a disaster. Clothes and pillows were everywhere. I put on a short, black silk bathrobe and Julia put on a flimsy nightgown. Julia gave Alissa one of my nightgowns, a rather short, see-through one, I noted happily. A few minutes later he doorbell rang. "Pizza's here!" I called out and went to get the door. I opened the door and was surprised by what I found there. It was Eddie's daughter, Cassandra. Cassandra was eighteen or ninteen years old, a freshman at the local community college, but she looked much younger. Short, about Julia's height, a little skinny, adequate breasts and dirty blond hair cut short. Her face was pretty with a small mouth and small nose but her most arresting feature was her incredible, big, blue eyes. They were a very bright blue, almost a cornflower blue and they drew you in, they were hypnotizing. I thought she lived with her father a few miles up the coast, but I wasn't sure her mother had left them years ago. "Oh, hi Cass. I wasn't expecting you. You don't usually do deliveries." I said, opening the door for the girl. "Come on in, it's cold out there. I'll get your money." "I know, dad won't let me do deliveries most of the time, he worries about me. But we were the only two left in the store when you called, and we know you and Julia so he told me to deliver it on my way back to my apartment." Cassandra explained as walked in. "Why didn't your father deliver it on his way home?" I asked. Apparently she had moved out of her dad's house An idea began forming in my head. "Oh, he probably won't even go home tonight, he practically lives in that shop. Did you know that he actually had a cot in the back rooms he can stay there overnight? Sometimes I think he's crazy!" she laughed. "So, you live alone now?" I asked as casually as I could manage. I was stalling, pretending to look for cash. "Oh yeah, you probably didn't know. I got an apartment with my best friend about a month ago. It's just up the street from here. But she's staying with her parents in Maine this week, so I have the place to myself." She bubbled, obviously happy and excited to be out on her own. All alone... perfect. "Well then you'll just have to spend the night here with us! You can be out entertainment!" I said with a broad smile. Cassandra stopped bubbling and looked at me, a little confused. "What do you mean entertainment? I... I think I had better be going. Can I just have the money for the pizza please? I have to go." She was looking and sounding more nervous by the second. Julia and Alissa chose that moment to come out of the bedroom dressed in their skimpy nightgowns. They both looked very sexy and slutty. Alissa stopped behind Julia and, wrapping her arms around Julia's middle, rested her chin on Julia's shoulder. Alissa purred, "Ooooo, she looks cute, is she going to stay and play with us?" Cassandra had enough by now and was backing towards the door, "Why don't you just keep the pizza, it's on the house. I'll see you later." She reached for the doorknob. I pushed hard on her mind for her to obey my every command and said aloud, "Come back over here." Cassandra immediately turned around and came to stand in front of me. Her eyes, already big, were now huge and darting around frantically. She didn't know why she had just come back over, she didn't want to, she wanted to run away as fast as she could. But her body didn't seem to respond to her orders. "What's the matter Cassandra? Why do you want to leave?" I said in a soft voice. As I said it I pushed on her mind and body. I made her body as sensitive as I had made the girls and myself earlier in the night. She shuddered slightly at the touch of my mind but that was all. She had no way of knowing what I had just done to her but she would find out. "Why don't you step up onto the coffee table and give us a little show." I directed her, pointing to the table. She went over to the table and stepped up onto it. Alissa and I went and sat together on the couch, Julia went over and turned on some sexy music and them came and sat down next to Alissa. As she sat, Julia leaned in and kissed Alissa's ear, tracing around it with her tongue. Alissa let out a soft moan. By now Cassandra was terrified but she was also starting to get turned on and that scarred her even more. "What are you doing to me?! I have to go! Please, let me go!" Even as she said it her body started to sway as her dance started. Her hips swayed back and forth and her hands traced up and down her body. She twirled around and slowly wiggled her ass in out faces. When she turned back around I could see that her cheeks were flushed a bright pink and tears were running down her cheeks but her nipples were also poking stiffly out of her tee shirt. She was scarred but she was getting turned on now too. "You're a pretty sexy little thing. Why don't you show us a little more." I directed her again. She continued to sway and turn but now her hands were stroking her body not just tracing it. Her hands fondled her breasts and then went to her ass, where she grabbed it and squeezed it for us to watch. As her hands came back up they lifted her tee shirt revealing her braless chest. She had a skinny, well tanned body but with much lighter triangles over her breasts where a bikini top had been. She must have gone on vacation somewhere tropical I thought. She flung the top across the room and continued to stroke and fondle her breasts. When her hands touched her nipples she gasped in rapture. I knew what she was feeling because I had felt it too. Her very sensitive nipples were sending more pleasure to her brain with just that little touch than her clit ever had during her best fucking. "I can't believe what I'm doing, I don't want to but I... but... oooohhhhh!" She moaned with another pinch of her nipples. "I feel like such a slut, such a pervert! I...oooohhhh!" She continued to gyrate and fondle herself. Her hands left her breasts and wandered downward. She turned around and bending over, finally pulled her jeans and panties down, giving us an excellent view of her moist lips and tight little ass. She straightened up and turned to face us. Her bush was light brown and neatly trimmed like a little 'V' pointing to her slit. One of her hands slowly traced her moist pussy lips for a few moments then finally slipped inside. "Oooohhh! It's sooooo good! How can it feel so good! What did you do to meeee?!" She started moaning deliriously and fell onto the table, her finger still working between her legs. "I just told you to put on a show. I didn't tell you to play with yourself in front of us. You did that on your own." I cooed to her. "Do you like us watching you?" "Yes." Came back her soft reply, she sounded ashamed. "Do you want Julia and Alissa here to show you what real pleasure is?" I teased her, knowing the answer. "Yes." Her reply was barely audible and she was crying again but her fingers continued to work between her legs. I stood up and went over to her. Bending down I brushed the tear from her cheek and said "Don't worry, we'll be gentle." And I kissed her softly on the lips. There was a sharp intake of breath from Cassandra as she realized she had just been kissed by another woman. Then she moaned loudly and said "I want you, all of you. Please, I need it, now!" The girls practically leapt off the couch when she said it. We gently laid her out on the table, I took her head and started passionately kissing her, Alissa explored her breasts with her mouth and Julia started teasing her clit with her tongue. It wasn't long before Cassandra was moaning and crying out with pleasure like she had never known. She was holding onto my head with on hand and Alissa's head with the other, keep our lips on her sensitive skin, not knowing what was happening to her but wanting more anyway. I broke our kiss and went down to share her tits with Alissa. Alissa smiled when she saw me start sucking Cassandra's sensitive nipple, knowing the pleasure it was giving the young woman. Alissa had a dreamy look about her and she was moaning slightly. Sure enough, when I looked she had her hand between her own legs. So, she wants to play with her pussy and Cassandra's tits, hmmmm. I stood up and looked down at the slim girl who was writhing on the small, low table. I grabbed a big pillow and kneeling on it, leaning slightly over Cassandra, I grabbed her breast and started to stroke my clit with her nipple. Alissa saw what I was doing and she immediately did the same. Soon all three of us were moaning with ecstasy. I thought, this would be so much better if she had bigger tits. Then I thought, why not? I closed my eyes, concentrated and pushed. I felt her breast getting heavier, swelling in my hand. I pushed more, heavier still, I pushed again. By now Alissa and Cassandra had realized something was going on. Cassandra, her eyes still glazed with lust, was looking at her breasts, now the size of cantaloupes, with something between horror and wonder. Alissa had much the same look in her eyes. I pushed on both of them to accept it and love it. No time for mind games, I didn't want the action to stop. Alissa and I eagerly rubbed our clits with Cassandra's big, new nipples. Alissa and I were chest to chest over Cassandra and we started rubbing our breasts together, out nipples flicking against each other. Cassandra had a hand on each of her tit's and was helping us fuck her nipples. Fuck her nipples... hmmm. I pushed again. I felt Cassandra's nipple get bigger and harder. Mmmm, that's nice, but it could be nicer. I pushed again, more. I felt her nipple swell against my clit, bigger, longer. Moving my hips I pushed tip of her nipple into my pussy, it was wonderful, but I needed more. I pushed again. Her nipple slid deep into me like a little dildo. Alissa interrupted my thoughts with her cries, "Oh Cassandra, it's so good! Tit fuck me baby! Fuck me with your big tits!" Cassandra had taken over control of her tit and was working it in and out of Alissa's cunt. Now that she had the rhythm she started doing the same to me. Cassandra was moaning constantly, her head rolling from side to side but she continued to bounce her breasts, working her nipples in and out of out cunts. I looked down and saw Julia's beautiful face buried in Cassandra's snatch. Didn't that girl ever get enough pussy? I wondered. She must be working that long tongue around inside Cassandra, licking the girl's most intimate places, drinking every drop of her sweet nectar. It all suddenly became too much for me and I started to cum. I held it back as I quickly linked Cassandra to us so we would all cum together. Then I couldn't hold it any more and I came. A long, loud moan escaped my lips as the heat surged through me. The girls were moaning and screaming with me as the waves of fire surged higher and higher until I thought my brain would fry. I felt Cassandra's nipple sliding in and out of my pussy, she was still bouncing her huge tit's, still tit fucking me and Alissa even as she experienced her first lesbian orgasm. I felt hot juice squirt from my pussy as I came and came, a hot gush of girlish delight. My delicious girl cum soaking Cassandra's big breasts. My lovers and I came and came, a string of climaxes that never seemed to end. Alissa's tongue was dancing in my mouth and her hands were fondling my breasts. Julia continued to lick Cassandra while she played with her own pussy. Finally, Alissa and I collapsed, unable to take it any longer. Cassnadra's long nipples slid out of each of us with a soft wet pop and she rolled over, forcing Julia to stop eating her pussy. The four of lay sprawled on the floor catching our breath, letting out passions slow. I looked at Cassandra's nipples, they were shrinking back to normal size, well, actually a little bigger than normal. I guessed they would only get bigger when she was aroused. I might have to change them back, could be embarrassing for her in public, but I'd leave them for now. But her tit's were still huge, I figured I'd leave them, she could say she got implants. I pushed on her mind to make her love her new breasts, then after thinking for a moment I pushed on her again to make her a lesbian permanently, then I made her love me and the other girls. After a few more minutes of resting the four of us made it to the bedroom and fell asleep snuggled together, naked. I'm going to have to get a bigger bed, I thought. The ring pulsed with a warm glow and I fell asleep. To be continued... Thanks to new fiends (you know who you are) who provided feedback and praise, keep it coming, it keeps me inspired!

Julia was leaning over me, her lips pressed to mine and her long tongue was sliding down my throat. I decided that it was probably the most wonderful wake up call I had ever received and I moaned softly. She saw that I had finally woken up and slid her tongue out and smiled warmly at me. "Good morning sleepyhead. I didn't really want to wake you. You looked so cute lying there naked with your hand cupping your breast like that, but," she sat up and sighed while her lusty eyes continued to roam my naked body, "it is Monday morning and you do have to go to work." Work? Oh shit! I looked at the clock, eight-thirty. I was already an hour and a half late. "Couldn't you wake me up a little earlier?" I called over my shoulder as I ran to the bathroom. Julia followed me in, "I figured you needed the rest after last night." She was watching my ass as I turned on the shower. As I bent over to check the water temperature I felt her place her hands on my ass. "Julia, what do you think you're doooiiiinnnngggg…?!" The last part turned into a long groan as Julia slid her long tongue into my tight pussy. "Julia…I…have to go…to…go to…work!" I managed to get out between grunts. But it was too late; Julia's very talented tongue was already tickling a sensitive spot deep inside me. "Oh, Julia! Julia…JULIA!" My arms gave out and I fell forward. I lay bent over the side of the bathtub, the hot water pounding on my back. "No Julia, I have to go to work! Please, I have to… I have… No, I… I… Oh! Oh God you're so good! Oh! Yeah, right there, oh!" Julia slid her tongue back out of me and said in a little girl voice, "Well if you really have to go to work, I'll stop." All thoughts of work were pushed from my mind. I was beside myself with hot need. "Don't you dare stop you little minx! Eat me, eat me, oh, please eat me!" I begged. "I need you Julia! Please fuck me baby! I need you inside me!" "You need me?" She asked again in that same little girl voice. She leaned back in and I could feel her hot breath on my pussy. "What do you need little old me for?" As she said it, her long tongue flicked my swollen clit. Another soft moan escaped me as her tongue teased me. "Please Julia, please, fuck me with your tongue. I need you; I need you so badly right now! Oh… please make me cum baby!" "Well, since you asked so nicely I guess…" The rest became muffled as she slid her long tongue back into me and her lips pressed against my cunt. I cried out once again as her long tongue found my most tender, intimate places. Her tongue rolled around inside me as she slid it in and out. Ecstasy flooded through me and in just a few short minutes I felt myself going over the edge. Every muscle in my body seemed to go taut and I let out a cry of pleasure as I came. I felt Julia's hands tighten on my ass, her fingernails digging in painfully as she came with me. Ever since I had linked our minds yesterday, whenever either one of us had an orgasm, the other would at the same time. So Julia was making herself cum by eating my pussy. The very thought of what she was doing to herself was so erotic that it drove me even higher. I cried out with the intensity of the pleasure, "Oh Julia! Julia, I love you! I love you baby! Aaaaggghhh!" She continued to eat me for several more orgasms until, unable to take any more, I rolled completely into the tub to escape her long, talented tongue. I was completely exhausted and lay in the bottom of the tub, moaning softly to myself as the hot water continued to rain down on me. Julia sat on the floor for a few minutes resting then finally stood up on shaky legs. Her face was slick with my cum. She ran a finger down her cheek and slowly licked the sticky wetness off her finger. "Mmm, you're delicious baby." The corners of her lips twitched up into a little smile and she turned away, heading for the door. "I'll go get you something to eat." And she was gone. Ten minutes later as I was stuffing a bagel into my mouth and pouring black coffee, double sweet, into my travel mug. I asked where Alissa and Cassandra had gone. "Oh they left about an hour before you got up. Alissa had to go to a meeting or something and Cassandra had class." Julia was sitting at one of the counter stools, wearing only a short, flimsy bathrobe, sipping at a glass of orange juice and flipping through one of her product catalogues for work. Julia managed a women's swimwear store at the local mall and I couldn't decide if she was actually doing work or just admiring the firm young bodies modeling the suits. "This is the first time I'll be late for work in two years." I said in disgust. As if on cue my cell phone rang. I looked down at the small screen, it was the office calling. I flipped it open. "Good morning. This is Mary." I said, trying hard to sound professional. "What happened to you this morning?" It was one of the lab techs named Anthony, although everyone called him Ant. He was about six foot, dark hair, brown eyes, not too bad looking. I had been shamelessly flirting with him for months and he had been a little standoffish. We were friends but he just wouldn't take it up a notch as I had wanted. It occurred to me as I listened to his voice that I now had no interest in him that way at all. "I just over slept, forgot to set the alarm, it happens." I said, trying to be flip. "Not to you it doesn't. The boss has been wandering around looking for you." Shit, I thought to myself. Aloud, I said, "Is he mad?" "No, I think he's just worried, his star engineer being missing, you know." he teased. "Oh, shut up. I'll be there in about thirty. Can you hold down the fort till I get there?" I had my keys in hand and was heading to the door. "Yeah, we'll manage. Don't forget, you get to interview the summer help today." I heard him snickering, "Lucky you. See-ya." He hung up. The interviews for the summer co-op position, oh yippee, I thought with very little enthusiasm. Not a single woman in the lot, I thought again with disappointment. It would have been nice to have some tight young thing as my assistant for the summer. Oh well. I gave Julia a lingering kiss at the door, out tongues playfully dancing for a minute. "I'll see you tonight baby." Julia smiled, gave me one more quick kiss and said softly, "I love you." Then she went inside and looking back with a small smile and closed the door. Work was horribly slow all day. I couldn't get visions of Julia, Alissa and Cassandra out of my head. What and incredible weekend it had been. I couldn't wait till next weekend. Actually I couldn't even wait till tonight! I was getting wet just thinking about it. The day slowly came to an end. I shuffled through a mountain of paperwork that had accumulated while I was away last week, made a few phone calls, and handled a few crises. I also conducted the first four interviews. They were as bad as I thought they would be. Two jocks, and dumb ones at that, one computer nerd and a pervert, quite a collection my boss had called in. We had gotten about fifty or sixty applications from the local colleges; I couldn't believe this was the best he could come up with. It was about five thirty and the office was vacant, everyone else had gone home already but I had stayed for the last interview. Apparently he had a conflict and had scheduled a late interview. I looked at the resume on my desk, Tony. No actually, Toni misspelled with an "i". Perfect, I thought with bad grace, the jerk didn't even proof read his own friggin name. This should be a short interview. I heard the front door open then close, followed by slow, tentative footsteps. "Back here!" I called out, "Third door on the right." The face that looked timidly around the corner was not what I had expected. It wasn't a college age guy in a cheap, poorly fitting suit; it was a pretty, young, black woman. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell. I thought you were somebody else." I apologized. "Can I help you with something?" "I… I'm here for an interview. Ah… a job interview I mean." She was trying to be professional but she was clearly very nervous. "And your name?" I prompted. "Toni, Toni Charles." She hesitated a second, then held out her hand. In the process she managed to knock a stack of folders off the table next to the door. "Oh no! I'm so sorry!" She quickly bent down to pick them up. As she did so she bumped the file cabinet and a coffee cup that was sitting on top of it on top fell onto the floor and shattered. "Oh my God! Oh shit!" She cried, and then she covered her mouth with her hands, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say that! Let me just clean this up!" She looked like she was on the verge of tears. I couldn't help smiling. This girl was a complete disaster. She was so nervous it was actually comical. "Don't worry about it! Please, please just leave it." I said helping her up. She had all of the folders in her hand and she put them back on the table. "No, no, I'll go get a broom or something to clean up the glass." She was heading for the door. "Trust me, just leave it. We have a cleaning service, they'll get the glass. It's all right. Now please, come and sit down." I said pointing to one of the chair across from my desk. She sat down, a little reluctantly. She looked absolutely miserable; clearly she figured this interview would be over very shortly. I took a moment to study her. She was about five foot five or so, probably twenty or twenty one years old. She was black but not really dark, maybe like a cappuccino color. Dark brown, very curly hair, a little longer than shoulder length, tied back in a ponytail. A little heavy through the middle with small breasts and thick legs. But she had a very pretty face with dark eyes and full lips. I could work with this, I thought. "This is your first interview, isn't it?" I asked. She looked even more miserable. "Is it that obvious?" "Ah, yeah. It kind of is. Why don't you just relax? You'll do just fine, now. Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?" I gave her a little push on her mind to help calm her down. She sighed and seemed to visibly relax. "Ok, about me," she seemed to take a mental inventory for a second, "I'm a freshman at …" She talked on for a few minutes about herself. I asked a few questions but mostly I let her talk. She was a freshman at a local college majoring in environmental engineering; she lived nearby with two of her friends. She was currently working for the college in the library but was hoping to get a job that related to her field of study. She seemed a little more confident now that she had contributed something but she still wasn't comfortable. She actually seemed very intelligent and knowledgeable, if a bit clumsy. I figured she would make a fine addition to the company. And she would be just fine for me too. "Well, the job that's available is an assistant engineer. Basically you would be my assistant. Working on paperwork for me, lab data, field reports, things like that. You would also be working in the field with me, collecting samples, performing evaluations and investigation and so on. There is some traveling involved, we work all over New England and sometimes stay on site for a few days. Are you available for travel?" "Oh yes, that's no problem at all." The expression of earnestness on her face was almost comical. For some reason she wanted this job very badly. Maybe it was the only interview she had gotten, I thought. I wondered how many resumes she had sent out. I leaned back in my chair and looked at her. "Well, what do you think? Do you want the job?" The question seemed to shock her a little, like she hoped it would come but didn't expect it. "Yes!" She blurted out, and then seemed to catch herself. "Um, yes… yes I would like the job if it's available." She added a little sheepishly. "Well then…" Suddenly in the middle of my sentence I felt an intense rush of pleasure avalanche through me as my pussy spasmed with an unexpected orgasm. "Oh! Oh God!" I cried out. My head rolled back and my hands clutched the arms of my chair so hard my knuckles turned white. Fire burned through me as I wondered what was happening to me. Toni was staring at me with wide eyes. She was probably wondering if I was completely mad. "Are… are you ok? M… m… maybe I should be going." She said nervously as she started to stand up. Through sheer force of will I controlled the passion rampaging around inside my body and asked Toni one final question. "So how badly do you want this job?" I said in a voice so strained it was barely recognizable. As I said it I pushed on her mind to make her desperate enough to do anything… absolutely anything. "Oh please, I really need this job! I'll do anything, anything at all!" She cried out, tears welling up in her dark eyes. Her words were music to my ears. "Good, then… get under… under my desk!" I managed to get out between moans and pants. Her eyes got so round they looked like saucers, "No, I, I, I can't!" she stammered, "I don't do that kind of thing! Please, don't make me do this! Anything else!" But even as she said it she got down on her hands and knees and crawled under my desk. "Now pull my… my pants down and… eat meeeeee!" The last part came out as a scream as another climax surged up inside me. I felt her hands slide up along my hips and grab the waistband of my pants. With a single pull she slid them down past my knees and then down to my ankles. I slid down farther in my chair and spread my legs wide. I felt her curly hair brushing against the inside of my thighs as she leaned in. I could feel her hot breath on my slit as she leaned in close. I pushed hard on her mind as I sensed her getting close to me. I groaned loudly as I thought about what she was about to do. I changed her mind to make her love the taste of my sex, love the taste of another girl. From now on even the smell of a woman would be an intense aphrodisiac for her. "That's right baby, slip that… ooohhh… slip that tongue into me!" I looked down at the face between my legs. Toni had her eyes closed and as I watched she touched my clit with the tip of her nose. As I moaned I saw her inhale deeply, savoring the smell of my pussy. She gave a long shuddering sigh then her eyes opened and she looked directly into mine. I moaned again, louder this time as I saw the look of intense lust that flared in her eyes and the devilish smile on her face. Her eyes slid slowly closed and her face pushed in, then I felt the tip of her tongue touch my clit. It was like a bolt of lightning had struck between my legs. I jerked up off the chair as I cried out with the pleasure of it. Toni's arms grabbed onto my ass and held her face between my legs. I thrashed and jerked as Toni's inexperienced tongue twirled around my clit as she savored her first taste of pussy. My legs finally were unable to hold me anymore and I slid completely off the chair and fell onto the floor. My head hit the cold tile with a hollow thump but I didn't care. The pain was blown away by the raging hurricane of pleasure that was inside me. I clutched the back of Toni's head and pulled her face harder against me, desperately grinding myself against her. "Get over here! I want to taste you too!" I managed to say as I continued to hump her face. She let go of my bottom and stood up. Reaching behind herself, she unzipped her skirt and let it fall to the floor. She was wearing a pair of black lace panties and thigh high black nylons with lace at the top. As I continued to watch, she hooked her thumbs under the panties and slid them down her legs. "Tear open your blouse." I told her. She immediately grabbed the front of her blouse and gave it a yank. There was a rapid popping sound as the buttons were torn away and I heard the little clinking noises as they scattered on the floor. My spontaneous orgasms seemed to have stopped for the moment and I took a second to study her as I recovered. She did not have the most attractive body I had ever seen, not bad, but not really good. Small breasted, a little bit of a roll to the stomach, big butt and the legs were a little on the thick side. Well, I thought, the big ass can stay; it actually looks kind of cute. But the rest of it needs some work. I pushed on her mind, made her trust me completely, made her want to confide in me, made her believe I was her new best friend. Then I asked her, "Do you like your body, Toni?" She looked down at me and her expression became a little downcast. She said, "Not really, I've tried dieting and exercising but nothing seems to work. I just can never seem to look like I want to. I wish I had a body like yours. You look incredible!" "So what would you change if you could?" I asked. "Everything." She laughed, but there was no humor in it. "Skinny legs, smaller butt, flat belly, bigger boobs. You name it, I'd change it. I just wish it was that easy." I smiled broadly. "Your wish is my command." I envisioned how she wanted herself to look in my mind and pushed. Her eyes rolled back into her head and she moaned slightly. I watched her body change right before my eyes. Her legs became more slender and shapely and her butt became smaller and firmer. Not too small, I thought. Black girls always look good with a little bigger ass. Her stomach flattened out and her breasts swelled. She hadn't unhooked her bra yet and the breasts pushed and strained against the flimsy material. "Oh my God! What was that! It was wonderful; it felt like I was… AAAAHHHH!" She screamed as she looked down and saw her massive new breasts. "What happened to me? My tits are… oh, God this bra's so tight! It hurts!" She was fumbling with the front clasp, trying to release it, but in her panic she couldn't make it work. "Help me! It's hurting me!" Tears were starting to run down her cheeks and her hands were trembling from her shock, and pain. I quickly stood up and helped her unhook the clasp. The two halves of the bra snapped back, releasing her new breasts which bounced slightly with their newfound freedom. She let out a ragged sigh as she massaged them. After a few seconds she said, "What the hell has happened to me? Did you do this to me?" She was looking down at her new body now, twisting around to see past her breasts. "Yes, you said what you wanted changed about your body. So I changed it for you. Don't you like it?" As I said it I pushed on her mind to make her believe everything I said. She looked down at her body again in amazement. "I love it! It's incredible, how did you do this?" "I have a magical ring that allows me to change any woman's body into anything I want." I answered truthfully. "I found it a little while ago and have been using it to have a little fun with my friends. Would you like to be one of my friends Toni?" I asked, already knowing the answer. "Oh, yes Mary! I'd love to be friends with you. Can we really be friends?" She was so eager; if I hadn't still been so turned on I would have laughed. "Yes my dear, we can. But first we need to make one more little change. Are you ready?" "Yes, I'm ready! But what are you going to do to me?" She asked eagerly. She looked so hot now that I was having a hard time concentrating. She was still wearing her high heels and nylons. She also had the unhooked bra and the blouse she had ripped open. The blouse was open and I could see her cleavage but not the stiff nipples that were making little tents out of her blouse. I desperately wanted so see more of those breasts. Changed Ch. 04 Karen was in the middle of making dinner, when the mark on her neck started to get warm. It wasn't unpleasant, so she didn't really think anything of it. Focusing on the mark, her thoughts turned towards Josh. This was always a dangerous topic to dwell on since it normally left her in tears, but with the warmth that was spreading through her, she thought she could handle it. She missed him more than anything. God Josh, I just wish you could be here with me, help me get through the rough parts like you were always able to She thought wistfully. Suddenly, the mark warmed to almost unbearable, sending Karen stumbling. Whoa there Sugarcube. You should have sat down before you called me Josh's voice filled her head. "Josh?" Karen asked out loud, with tears in her eyes. I'm not actually there Sugar, but we can talk like this for a few minutes. I'm in Elslond right now healing up faster than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest. I see that you're doing pretty well too I can't believe we're actually able to talk. How do I know this isn't just my mind playing tricks on me? Karen thought skeptically. She heard Josh's laughter right before she felt his hands on her sides. You want proof huh? Well, here, I won't stop till you believe me or you pee your pants and with that, invisible hands started to tickle her mercilessly. After about 30 seconds, Karen was gasping for breath. "Okay okay! I believe you" She yelled and the tickling stopped. Good, now don't question me again ya hear me Darlin? Josh said in a mockingly stern voice. Unfortunately, I can't stay and chat for long. Once I'm stronger we'll be able to have longer conversations, and eventually I'll be able to project and you can see me. Then a little after that, I'll be able to come back. Right now though I have to go. I love you sugarcube. If you need me just call, though you'll need a day or two to recoup after this chat. Also, this will take some sort of toll on you. just a heads up. Karen felt a warm presence all around her mind and realized he was hugging her "Bye Josh, I love you too" she said softly after she felt his presence leave. Dinner was finished not long after that and she set the plates, waiting for Becca to come home. She heard footsteps on the deck and was surprised when it wasn't her front door that opened, but the one next to it. It was the first time that anyone had gone into the other side of the duplex. Shrugging it off, she went back to her book and waiting for Becca, who came home about ten minutes later. "Mmmmm," Becca groaned as she walked in the door "Dinner smells amazing!" Karen looked up from her book and smiled, moving to the table to eat as Becca sat down. "So," Karen started in a nonchalant way "Where was Theo this whole time? I thought he was just avoiding me, I didn't realize he was actually gone." Becca quirked up an eyebrow but didn't say anything about the topic Karen was on "He left to go do some digging about why your friend was attacked by Night Fairies. He also did some research into what a Spyrim is." "Ah," Karen said as she messed around with some mashed potatoes "Did he find out anything useful?" Becca made a noncommittal noise "I think that would be best to talk with him about." she said as she looked up and met Karen's gaze " I know you don't like him, and that you're placing a lot of the blame of what happened on him, but he really is a great guy once you get to know him. Give him a chance Karen." Karen just shrugged and continued to play with her food. Sighing, Becca changed the topic, talking about her schedule for the next couple days, what was on tv and what B movie they were going to watch this week. As the two women finished dinner, the topics of conversation were light and stayed away from Theo, for which Karen was thankful for. After dinner, Becca left to go spend some time with her brother and Karen went upstairs to shower and get ready for bed. As she layed in bed reading dressed in her overly large shirt and a pair of panties, her neck and shoulder began to ache. Thinking that it had something to do with sparring earlier, Karen got up and put an ice pack on it. As she crawled back into bed, she was hit with crippling need and the pain in her shoulder intensified and grew until she thought she was going to be torn in two from pain and pleasure. She layed on her back, fighting the urge to cry out as a serious wave of something arched her back off the bed. Moaning softly, she lightly grabbed one breast, hoping to ease at least one aspect of this torture. Soon, she was rubbing both breasts, and the pulses of pain from her shoulder turned into pulses of liquid heat that seemed to drip over her skin. She let one hand trace down her stomach to her panties where she lightly teased herself through the fabric. The more she teased, the faster the waves of pleasure flowed over her shoulder and into her body. Finally not being able to tease much longer, she slipped her hand under the fabric and let a single finger slip inside her folds. Moaning loudly, she worked her finger around her clit for what seemed like forever. Finally she settled on strumming her clit as she felt the pressure begin to build slowly. The pressure built faster with each strum of her fingers and each pulse from her shoulder. As she got close to reaching the edge, her back arched off the bed, moans falling freely from her lips, a face swam into view. As soon as it was in focus, Karen came, screaming out the name of it's owner: Theo. She lay in shock, as her shoulder sent little after shocks of pleasure through her whole body. How could she have done that? She hated Theo, and yet she was certain that if she hadn't thought of him, she would have never been able to finish the sweetest torture she'd ever endured. A few minutes later, a knock on the front door jerked her out of her daze. Karen got up, not even realizing that her shirt was hanging off one shoulder, or that her hair was loose from thrashing about, and unsteadily went to open the door. "I heard my name, I thought you might be in trouble," said the sinfully delicious man on her doorstep when the door opened. He dressed only in sleep pants and Karen got a good hard look at the perfectly chiseled body that went with the face that would now haunt her dreams. "What do you mean you heard your name?" Karen asked shakily, her knees still having trouble supporting her. "I live next door, and I heard you scream. I was asleep, so I had to get dressed which is why it took me a minute to come over and check. Is everything okay?" He asked, his eyes streaked with gold and filled with heat, letting her know that he'd heard more than just his name. The massive bulge in his pants was also a dead give away, but she refused to acknowledge it. She swallowed "I'm fine, thank you for checking on me. I didn't mean to startle you. Have a good night." she said as she started to close the door. Theo stopped the door, and pushed it open, stepping up close to his woman. "I can help you Karen. That won't be the last, nor the worst episode you have. I can help, you just need to let me." He said it softly, though the tone was anything but soft. He reached a hand to brush some hair out of her face, as his fingers touched her skin she moaned and had to grab the door for support. Karen could hardly breath as Theo stood so close to her. Heat radiating off of him in waves along with promises of more sweet torture. She closed her eyes and took a deep, shuddering breath. Before she got a chance to respond, he kissed her. It wasn't long, nor was it hard or demanding. It was simply a kiss, and it was anything but simple. Her knees gave out at the same time she lost consciousness. Theo caught her, his breathing as ragged as her's. He had never felt anything like that kiss before in his life. As he walked her up to her room, he wondered how hard this was going to come back to bite him in the ass. It wasn't until he had laid her down on her bed that he noticed that the little mark under her ear now covered her entire shoulder. With every pulse of her heart, the mark swirled and glowed slightly. Yep, this was definitely going to come back and bite him. He stood over her for a few more seconds before wrenching himself away. As badly as he wanted her, he was going to wait until she came to him. As he was going back downstairs, Becca came through the door. Startled, she sputtered "Theo?! What are you doing here?!" she took in his disheveled appearance and the single piece of clothing he was wearing and her eyes narrowed "What are you doing here?" she asked again with some steel in her voice. Theo groaned, and ran a hand through his short hair. "Relax Bec. I didn't do anything, well, I didn't do anything horrible." he said with a sheepish grin and she glared at him, tapping her foot. He chuckled softly "Seriously Bec, I didn't do anything. She had her first episode and I came over to make sure she was alright. The only thing I did was kiss her. She blacked out, probably from exertion, from what I heard it was pretty," he blushed slightly, which made Becca's eyebrows disappear into her hairline "strenuous." he finished with a nervous laugh. " I put her back in her bed. She'll probably sleep a while. Also, her mark grew, which is what set off the episode, though I don't know what happened to make her mark grow. I just thought I'd warn you, because I have a feeling she might have a strong reaction to it." Becca just smiled and nodded at him. "I'm glad she's okay. I'll let you know if anything happens tomorrow." "Yeah," Theo said nodding "I'm gonna stay home so I'm close if she does need me tomorrow but right now I'm gonna go for a run." Becca just nodded and wished him a good night as he stepped onto their shared porch. Groaning at the thought of her silky lips on his, he quickly stripped and shifted, leaving his pants on his doormat. Then soundlessly, he took off into the night towards the woods. It was going to be a tough road to get his mate to accept him, but they would get there eventually. After about 5 minutes of running, a rabbit darted from the bushes and Theo gave chase, all human thought ceasing as the wolf hunted, giving him the reprieved he needed. *** Karen woke the next morning with a pounding headache and a throbbing shoulder. She groggily made her way to the bathroom. After a warm shower, she dried her hair and finally looked into the mirror. She started, blinking a few times, trying to register what she was seeing. The mark that was originally just a small spot behind her ear had grown to cover half of her neck and the top of her shoulder. She blinked a few more times before screaming, rushing back from the sink. Her knees hit the edge of the tub and sent her tumbling into it. While she scrambled to get out of the tub, Becka ran in. "I'm okay! I'm okay!" Karen said hastily still trying to get up, her towel making it hard to move. Beck tried to stifle her giggles and went to help, but they came out full force when not three seconds later, Theo rushed in, his face full of concern. Karen groaned and went limp in the tub. This was the LAST thing she needed right now. " Are you okay?" Theo asked nervously, his pulse racing from the sound of her scream. "I"m gonna go finish the coffee." Becca snickered and quickly left the awkward couple on their own. I'd say that was a pretty strong reaction, Becca sent the thought to Theo who growled softly at her as she quickly retreated downstairs while Karen glared daggers at her friend's back. She sighed heavily and attempted to get up again without ending up completely indecent. " I'm fine, I was just startled. That's all." "Let me help." Theo said as he quickly moved in and scooped her out of the tub with ease. At his touch, her now much larger mark began a throbbing that went straight to her core. She tried her hardest, but a low moan escaped her and she unconsciously pressed herself closer to him. Theo went stone stiff, his heart racing for a completely different reason now. "Karen," he said gruffly as she rubbed against him much like a cat. His mind was racing in time with his heart. This was not the reaction he expected to get from her, especially after last night. "Karen," He tried again as he gently set her on her feet. He left his hands on her bare shoulders absently running this thumbs against her smooth skin. He let her move closer, his breath catching in his throat as she tilted her face up, her lips begging for a kiss. He groaned and leaned his forehead against hers. "Do you really want this Sweets?" He asked softly, staring into her eyes as she finally opened them. The dreamy expression on her face lasted for less than a second before realization dawned in her eyes. "OH MY GOD!" She exclaimed loudly before spinning around clutching her towel to her, her embarrassment causing her whole upper body to turn an adorable shade of pink. Theo chuckled softly, this was more like the reaction he was prepared for. "ohmygodohmygodohmygod!" Karen chanted, then she stood stiff as a board and twirled to look at him. Shock registered in her eyes and embarrassment caused the blush of pink to turn red "Last night..." she whispered before yelling again" OH MY GOD! YOU KISSED ME!" she jabbed her finger in his direction fury burning in her eyes. Theo just stood there and chuckled, crossing his large arms across his chest "Aye, I did." he paused with a twinkle in his eye "But that's nothing compared to what you did." his voice turned deep and quiet, with a slight touch of an Irish accent. He approached her, getting within inches before leaning down and whispering in her ear "I heard everything lass, and it was magnificent." Karen sighed softly, leaning into the wall of pure man that was before her, his breath on her ear making goose flesh break out across her skin. He chuckled again, breaking her spell. "Goddamnit!" she cried as she hurried back a few steps away. She quickly glanced down at the small towel that was all the stood between her and indecency and grasped at it even more "Get out!" Again, all Theo could do was chuckle. "Of course," he said as he sauntered out of the bathroom "but you won't get rid of me that easily." he finished quietly. Karen slammed the door behind him and locked it. She then turned back to the mirror, looking more at her now much more noticeable tattoo. The events of the night before came rushing back to her in High Definition. The incredible painfully pleasurable torture, the embarrassment of having Theo at her door, the incredible kiss that stole her very consciousness. She groaned and leaned against the sink. She quickly finished drying off and skittered to her room to grab some clothes. As she came down the steps smelling the dark aroma of coffee, her spirits lifted, only to come crashing back down and she realized Theo was sitting in her kitchen. "You have got to be kidding me!" she said under her breath, "Didn't I tell you to get out?" she asked a little louder. Theo turned and slowly looked her up and down with a burning gaze. He gave her a crooked smile, "Didn't I tell you you wouldn't be getting rid of me that easy?" Karen rolled her eyes and turned to Becca, "I can't do this Bec. Let me go back to the shop, working with the glass will help me deal with this..." she paused and sneered at Theo "Neanderthal." Becca quickly looked between the two of them "Uhm," she stuttered, "I... I think you'd have to ask Brett. He wouldn't want you to go alone and I have a really long shift coming up." "Don't worry, " Theo said lightly, even as his pulse ratcheted up a notch, turning a cool gaze to Karen, "I'll take her." Karen choked as she took a swig of coffee. "WHAT?!?!" she sputtered "NO. Absolutely not!" she finished slamming the coffee cup on the counter. "Suite yourself, Kitten," Theo shrugged "But I've already talked to Brett, the only way you'd be allowed to leave the compound is with a bodyguard, and well... I AM the head of pack security," he said smugly taking a sip of coffee "Which means I choose your bodyguard, and I choose myself." Karen stared at him in shock "Are you fucking kidding me?!? You son of a bitch!" she shouted. Theo just shrugged again. "You have a choice Kitten, either go with me, or don't go at all. It's simple." Karen stared at him for what seemed like hours, finally she blew out a breath, " Fine," she bit out "Lets go." She then spun on her heel and marched out of the house. Theo let out a breath and let his shoulders slumped, looking at Becca with defeat in his eyes. "Why her?" he asked desperately. "Why couldn't I have found a nice wolf who follows orders and understands pack behavior. I don't want some half human thing," he finished quietly. Becca gave him a glare " she's not just some 'half human thing' Theo. Your wolf chose her for a reason." She sighed and patted his arm, her tone gentling "I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually." Theo shook his head and got up numbly. These mood swings were killer, when she was with him he was happy and excited and battled her wit for wit, but once she was gone he reverted back to being miserable about the fate that life had dealt him. Maybe if he spent enough time with her his wolf would realize his mistake and change his mind. Unbeknownst to him, the wolf was thinking the exact same thing about his human half. Changed Ch. 04 "Just one little change." I said. My voice sounded strained with my arousal. "Relax baby, you're going to love it." As I spoke I pushed on her mind. I pushed all thoughts of men out of her mind and pushed in thoughts of women. I looked into her eyes and saw lust suddenly flare up, even hotter than before. She would never want a man again, I thought, she was now a lesbian, just like me. "Now why don't you come over here and sit on my face like a good little girl. You ate me; it's only fair that I eat you." I purred to her as I lay back down on the floor. She didn't even hesitate. She stepped over me and kneeled down over my face, bending down to nuzzle the inside of my thigh. "Have you ever made love to another woman, Toni?" I asked before I started. "Only my sisters. We used to experiment on each other when we were younger. But we haven't done it in years." Toni answered with what seemed to be regret. "Well, then just relax and enjoy baby. You're never going to want another man after I get through with you." I said, knowing that she already didn't want any man, she now only wanted women. "I don't want a man now! I only want you! Please make love to me Mary! I need you!" She was almost begging. Without replying I gently kissed her pussy. She jumped and squealed with surprise. "Oh God! That's so GOOD! Please, I need more, please!" She begged. Again I kissed her pussy but this time I kept my lips pressed to her. The tip of my tongue slipped out between my lips and I ran it slowly down her slit, savoring her sweet taste. She was soaking wet and my face was quickly covered with her wetness. "Ooooohhhhh!" Not a soft moan but a loud, full throated moan of complete ecstasy. "Do you like that Toni? Do you like having you cunt kissed by another woman?" I teased her. "YES! Oh please don't stop! I need it! Eat me, please! Oh please eat me!" She begged me. Her arms were wrapped tightly around my legs and her fingernails were digging into my thighs. I could feel her hot breath on my pussy; her face was only inches from it. My voice came out strained when I spoke, "If you want me to lick your twat, then you have to lick mine baby! So start licking." Instantly I felt her mouth on my pussy. Her eager tongue slid into my slickness and she started to slurp me up. Pleasure exploded in my brain as she worked her tongue around inside me. I felt, more than heard her low moan as she drank my sweet juices. I lay back for a minute looking at her tight ass hovering over my face. Her bald pussy just inches over my mouth. The lips of her pussy were swollen with her arousal and they glistened wetly. As I watched, a fat drop of her juice ran down her pussy lips and hung suspended for a few moments, then dropped onto my lips. My tongue flicked out and licked up the silky sweet liquid. She seemed to taste better by the minute. "Mmm, Toni, you taste absolutely delicious. I think I could drink your juice all night." She raised her head from between my legs long enough to gasp out, "Please, please, eat me Mary! I'm on fire! Please make me cum!" I smiled as I looked up at her cunt. "Well, since you asked so nicely…" I pushed my tongue as deep into her tight pussy as I could. Toni jerked her head out from between my legs and let out a shrill scream. She pushed her pussy hard against my face and started to grind her self into me. Loud moans filled my office as Toni approached her climax. "Oh God, oh God, oh God! I'm gonna cum! Oh fuck, I'm gonna CUM!" She cried out. I could hardly breathe as she frantically ground herself against my face. Her soft, wet pussy quickly soaked my face and hair. I grabbed a hold of her ass and pulled her pussy tight to my mouth. I wrapped my lips around her clit and sucked it into my mouth. Holding it tightly, I started flicking her little bud with my tongue. Toni went crazy as a pleasure she had never know erupted in her cunt. She lost all control of her body and collapsed heavily on top of me as an orgasm more powerful than anything she had even dreamed of took over her body. I almost drowned under the gush of cum that flooded over my face. She let out another high pitched scream, her strong arms wrapped around me and held me in a death grip and waves of pleasure assaulted her body. "Aaaahhhhh! Oh Mary! Mary! I… I… aaaahhhh!" She screamed as another orgasm assaulted her tight body. By this point my pussy was on fire with hot need. I decided that since Toni was one of my lovers now, she should get the same benefits as all my other girls. I pushed on her mind and body, changing her even more. I gave her the same super sensitive body and heightened sex drive as my other girls and myself. Then I linked her mind to mine so that whenever one of us had an orgasm, the other would to. As soon as I had completed the change a powerful orgasm surged through me. She was not even touching my pussy right now so I knew that I was sharing her pleasure. I let out a scream that was muffled because my face was still pressed between her legs. Toni let go of her death grip on my body and started to grind against my face again. Suddenly she got up on her knees, turned around and sat back down on my mouth, facing me. My breath caught in my throat as I saw the look of unbridled lust in her eyes. I had never before seen such lust, even in Julia, whom I had made into a nymphomaniac by accident on my first day with the ring. I wondered if I had pushed a little too hard on Toni's mind. Maybe I had gone too far. Then her lips formed into a small grin and placing her hands on either side of my head, she slowly started to ride my face again. This time, however, she never took her eyes off mine. Our gazes remained locked as her pace quickened. Unable to control myself, my hand went down between my legs and two fingers were soon working in and out of my sopping wet flower. Within moments I knew I was about to go over the edge. I felt the muscles in my pussy tighten and my stomach went taut. I arched my back and cried out into her cunt. Liquid ecstasy ran through my veins as I came over and over again. Sitting over me, Toni was cumming to. More of her hot juice soaked my face as she moaned and whimpered. Her hands shot to her breasts and she started to pull on her hard, dark nipples. She wasn't ready for the new sensitivity of her nipples, the sensitivity that I had given to her. She cried out "OOOOHHHH! SO GOOD! OOOOHHHH, OH, OH I'M CUMMING!" Pleasure surged through me again as I shared her orgasm. White lights were flashing in my eyes and I thought I was close to blacking out when I saw Toni's eyes slide slowly closed. I watched her fall back and roll onto the floor. There she lay still, breathing heavily. I lay there on the floor for several minutes trying to recover my senses. God, this girl likes to fuck; she was as bad as Julia. At the thought of Julia a new surge of lust flared inside me. I couldn't wait to see Julia and Toni together. These two would fuck each other stupid. My mind wandered back to the start of our love making and those unexpected orgasms I had. Where did they come from? As soon as I thought about it for a second the answer became perfectly clear. One of the other girls was having sex somewhere. Apparently we could share orgasms even when we weren't together. I wondered who it had been that was having sex. Julia, Alissa or Cassandra? I decided there was no way to tell but thought it was probably Julia, she was the horniest of the three. Then it occurred to me that the other girls had probably just been sharing my climaxes with Toni. A deliciously naughty wave of satisfaction went through me as I wondered what they had been doing when they came for the first time. I wonder if they were with anybody. What would they have done? Run and find someplace private most likely. Well, I would find out tonight. Toni moaned softly and rolled over, her dark eyes looking over at me. "That was incredible! I've never had sex like that before. You were so good, I just couldn't stop cumming." She smiled and rest her head back down on the floor. "Well, I'd say that this interview is complete. You're hired. When can you start?" We looked at each other and burst out laughing. When she stopped laughing, Toni said, "I can start tomorrow if you'd like." "That would be perfect." I said standing up. "Now I think its time for me to be going home. Let's get dressed and I'll walk you to your car." We both got dressed and headed out into the parking lot. Toni's blouse and bra no longer fit so she was only wearing her skirt and blazer. The blazer, which was also a little small, now, had only a single button about at her navel. This allowed a more than generous view of her large breasts and I found it hard not to stare at them as we walked out. The office building was located in a small office park near a residential area. The parking lot emptied onto a local road that was little used and most of the businesses were closed by this time of day. The employees from surrounding businesses had gone home so we had the parking lot to ourselves. My Land Rover and a Honda Civic were the only two cars in the lot. I assumed the Civic was hers and walked towards it. We stopped in front of her car and she looked over at me. "I hope working for you is going to be as much fun as the interview was." As she said it a sly little smile played at the corners of her full lips. "Actually during the day we do have to get some real work done. But after hours… well, that's another story. But for now I had better be going, Julia will be wondering if I've run off with another woman." A look of jealousy flashed in Toni's eyes and she looked down at her feet. "Who is Julia, your roommate?" She asked, trying unsuccessfully to be casual. "Yes, and my lover, well one of them anyway." I answered. I was looking directly at her, watching for her reaction. Her dark eyes went wide and she said, "How many lovers do you have?" Then she seemed to catch herself. "Oh, I'm sorry, that's none of my business." She turned and reached for the door handle. "I should be going, I'll see you tomorrow." I stepped up close beside her and putting a hand to her cheek, turned her head to face me. "Including you, I now have four lovers, and it is your business since you're one of them." My hand slid from her cheek down into her blazer. I cupped her full breast with my hand and with my fingertips, pinched her large, hard nipple. Her eyes went wide and her mouth opened as she gasped with pleasure. I leaned in and pressed my lips to her open mouth and slid my tongue into her. Our tongues danced while my other hand unfastened her blazer. The breeze blew open the coat exposing her huge breasts to anyone who cared to look. Toni seemed not to notice, or if she did notice she didn't care. She just continued to suck on my tongue and moan as I played with her nipple. One of her hands went to the back of my head and grabbed a handful of my hair, holding me in place. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her other hand reach up and clutch her other breast, her own fingers playing with her stiff nipple. In a very short time she leaned back against the car and laid her head on the roof. She continued to moan but now the moans were accompanied by other little sounds. Little grunts and whimpers escaped her mouth. Her very sensitive nipples were rapidly driving her to another climax, and right out in the open. I suddenly realized that we might have an audience. I looked over my shoulder and saw that we did. Two women dressed in running outfits were standing on the sidewalk, not twenty feet away staring at us with wide, shocked eyes. Both were brunettes, average height, physically fit, and looked to be mid-thirties or so. They probably lived in the nearby residential area and went running together fairly often, I thought. One had longer hair, tied back in a pony tail; the other had shorter hair cut in a bob. The woman with long hair was wearing jogging shorts and the other had on spandex tights. Both were wearing jog bras with nothing else on top. As I looked, I could see that both of them seemed to be looking back at us with mixture of horror longing. Enjoying the show, girls? I thought to myself. Then a deliciously naughty idea came into my head. I pushed on both of their minds so that they would enjoy watching, and really enjoy it. Then I pushed onto them that I was their mistress and that they would obey any command I gave them. Both of their eyes got even wider and they took a few steps closer. By this time Toni was right on the edge of ecstasy. She was moaning loudly and she had removed her hand from behind my head and put it under her skirt. I could hear soft wet sounds coming from under the skirt and knew she had at least one, probably several fingers working in and out of her pussy. I released her breast and stepped back a few feet, watching her as she continued to lean against her car, play with her big tits and finger fuck her cunt. "What are you doing?! Please help me! I need to cum, make me cum, please!" Toni begged when she realized that I had stepped away. "Don't worry baby, you're going to cum. I just thought you would like a little audience participation." I said, looking over at the two joggers. They stared at Toni with lust and fear in their eyes. Toni realized what I had said and her head snapped up, her eyes locking onto the two women watching her. Before she could try to cover up or run away I pushed on her mind, stoking her fire to even higher levels. She looked horrified that she was being observed but she couldn't hope to control the lust that was now raging inside her body. Her fingers continued to work on her pussy and nipples and she moaned again. "Now ladies, I think that Toni needs a little help getting off. Why don't you two go give her some help with her breasts?" I said to my two newest toys. I watched their tight bottoms sway as the walked past me. I made one more quick push on their minds then smiled as I watched the show. They both walked quickly over to Toni and bent down to her breasts. Each took one of Toni's breasts in both of their hands and started to suckle her dark nipples. Within moments Toni's moans got louder and much more urgent. "Oh that's so good! Oh, oh, I'm… I… aaaagggghhhh!" She cried out as she came. Pleasure erupted between my legs as I shared Toni's orgasm. I managed to remain on my feet as I watched through the haze of passion. Toni sank to her knees and the women followed her down, getting onto their own knees and bending over, their lips never left Toni's nipples. I could hear their moans too as they enjoyed their own orgasms. The last change I had made to them was to link their minds to Toni's so they would share her climax. As I finally fell to my knees I found myself staring at the backside of the short-haired woman. Her tight ass was covered with the black spandex tights and for the first time I noticed that there was no panty line. As I stared I noticed that there was also a wet spot spreading rapidly between her legs. She must have had a very wet orgasm, I thought and I wondered what she tasted like. I wanted to know but decided that it probably wasn't the time or place. Toni had collapsed against her car and the two women were lying on top of her, each resting their heads on one of Toni's breasts. All three were moaning softly and panting, trying to recover. I stood up and looked down at them. I realized that I too was panting heavily and making the same little moaning noises as them. As I stood watching, I could feel the wetness between my legs and knew without looking that I needed a dry pair of panties. "Come on girls, I think that's enough fun for today. Toni, you had better cover yourself up or you're going to get us arrested." I said looking around to make sure no one else had seen us. I couldn't see anyone but that didn't mean that we were alone. There were several offices nearby and their parking lots were not completely empty, someone could have been watching us from behind a darkened window in one of those buildings. All three of them stood up a little shakily and tried to straighten themselves up. They all had blissful, satisfied smiles on their faces. Each seemed at a loss as to what to do. "So, now that we've all had a good cum together, what are your names?" I asked, looking over at them. The one with long hair answered for both of them. "My name is Sheila and this is my friend Anna." She said pointing at the short-haired woman. I looked at their hands and noted that neither one wore wedding bands. "Are you married and do live around here?" It was Anna who answered this time. "I'm separated and Sheila is single. Why do you want to know?" She asked. "Do either of you have a boyfriend?" I asked, ignoring her question. "No." They answered together. I smiled tightly to myself. Perfect. "Well it seems to me that you two ladies aren't getting enough sex if you came over here and jumped on poor Toni like that without even knowing her name. What do you think?" "I don't know what came over me just now! I've never done anything like that before!" Anna said in amazement. "I just couldn't control myself; I had to taste her breast! I've never done that before with a woman but it was wonderful. I've never felt anything like it!" "Me too! That was incredible!" Added Sheila. That was music to my ears. "Well since you like it so much, I think you two should do it more often. I want you two to have sex together at least three of four times a week from now on, ok?" I pushed on their minds to reinforce my command. They looked at each other and Anna, without taking her eyes off Sheila said, "Yes, I think we can handle that." "Good and you can try to seduce other women as well but no more men for either of you. They don't interest you at all anymore." As I told them this I watched their eyes closely for some kind of reaction. They both seemed about to protest, then they became confused for a second, then they accepted. It was a different reaction than the other girls I had changed because I hadn't really altered their minds that way; I hadn't turned them into lesbians. Instead I had made them obedient to all my commands then given them a command to be only interested in women. It appeared to work but it didn't seem like it was as strong a change as if I had altered their minds directly. I decided to keep my eye on these two. Just for research purposes, I said to myself with a grin. "And give me your phone numbers. I may want to come hang out with you, or maybe have sex with you." I said, the grin still on my face. The girls gave me their phone numbers and saying goodbye I sent them on their way. I watched their tight bottoms for a minute as they jogged away, then I turned to Toni who was standing by her car waiting. "So how did you like your first day of work?" I asked. A big smile split her full lips, "I think I'm really going to enjoy working for you!" "I think you will too. Well Toni, I have to be going home. I'll see you tomorrow." I gave her a quick kiss on the lips and headed for my truck. I sat there for a few moments and watched Toni drive off as I collected my thoughts. I had better be careful with my lusts, I thought. I hadn't really intended to turn those women into lesbians but once I had become aroused I just couldn't seem to control myself. If I wasn't careful I might turn every woman I knew into a lesbian. "That was quite a busy day, mistress. Did you enjoy yourself? I know that I did." The voice was not spoken aloud but rather it echoed silently in my head. I smiled again, "Yes Marcellene, I did have a very good day. I'm glad you enjoyed it too." The silent voice in my head belonged to Marcellene, the sorceress whose soul was bonded to the magical ring on my finger. She had become trapped in the ring thousands of years ago while trying to create a magical artifact. It was the ring that gave me the power to change and control women. It was also the ring that fired my lust for women. I had never been interested in women until I had put on the ring, now I couldn't get enough of them. Changed Ch. 04 When I had put the ring on, I had become bonded to it and Marcellene. I was the only one who could hear her and through the bond, she could see and feel everything I did. I started the engine, put on my seatbelt and drove off. "You've been quiet today. What have you been doing?" I asked my companion when we were on the highway. "I have just been observing. It had been over seven hundred years since I last saw anything. The world has changed a lot. I find it all so fascinating. I wish I had a body so I could explore and learn all about the world today." Marcellene said with what sounded like regret. "I'm sorry, I wish there was something I could do. You just let me know if there is anything you want to know more about or things you want to do and I'll do them for you, we'll do them together. Ok?" I asked. "Yes mistress that would be wonderful." She replied. "But for now I am just observing. I will not disturb you. I am still sorting out the information I have received through the bond." My eyebrows came together as I considered her last statement. "What do you mean, 'Received through the bond'?" Marcellene replied, "When I bonded with you I gained access to everything you know but it takes time to understand it all." Everything I know? She knew everything? That was a little disturbing. "You know everything about me? Every private thought? Every memory?" "Yes." She replied simply. "That's a little creepy. I'm not sure I like that too much." I said. "I am sorry mistress, but that is how the bond works. I cannot change it. And it is now done anyway. Do not worry; I cannot use the information against you. I cannot be removed from you finger until you have died. And then you will no longer care what I know." She said with obvious regret. "Well, I guess you have a point there. How many masters have you had, anyway?" Marcellene replied, "I have not kept count, but I suspect there were several hundred over the years. Each one more brutal and horrible than the previous." She hesitated, "I try not to think about the horrible things that they have done with my powers." "I'm sorry; I didn't mean to upset you." I replied honestly. Wanting to change the mood, after a minute I asked, "So what was it like being a sorceress? Could you teach me any magic?" We spent the rest of the ride talking about Marcellene's life as a sorceress and how she could teach me about magic. She explained that it would be difficult because she had not practiced it in thousands of years but she thought she could remember some of the basics. Finally we pulled into the parking lot of the condo complex and I parked next to Julia's Miata. I climbed out and walked up the steps to the condo wondering what I would find there. I wasn't expecting what I found. Julia was sitting on the couch with Cassandra. Cassandra had her head on Julia's shoulder and was crying softly. I went right over to her, "Sweetheart, what's the matter?" Cassandra looked over at me with eyes that were red from crying. "I'm just so embarrassed! I can't believe what happened to me today!" "It's alright baby." Julia said, rubbing her back. "Why don't you tell us what happened. Maybe it'll make you feel better or maybe we can help." Cassandra took a deep breath, closed her eyes. When she opened them she started her story. "The day started off so good. I felt so wonderful after last night! I couldn't wait to be with you all again. But then during the day while I was sitting in class I started to daydream about you girls and then to fantasize about some of the girls in my class. That's when my nipples started to swell. I mean I could feel them poking out. They got so big and hard, just like last night!" She sniffled and continued. " I didn't know what to do! My bra kept them held in some but they were still really obvious, and I mean REALLY obvious! Luckily I was at the back of the lecture hall and I just snuck out the back and went to the girls' room. While I was in there I had like five or six orgasms! For no reason at all! I wasn't even touching myself. I just came! It was really nice but it was a little scary. I didn't know what was happening to me. I had to wait in there for about an hour till I calmed down and my nipples went back to normal." I realized that must have been when Julia and I were having sex in the shower this morning. Cassandra didn't know the link was still working. I looked at Julia, wondering if she understood. She was smiling at me, she knew. "It didn't happen for the rest of the day and I was careful not to think any dirty thoughts. I didn't want it to happen when I was somewhere where I couldn't get out!" Cassandra wiped her nose with a tissue and continued. But then after class I had field hockey practice. I changed in one of the private stalls so I wouldn't be able to see any of the other girls changing. I was sure that I wouldn't be able to keep my mind off of them if they were in front of me." "It was all ok until we went outside. We all sat down and started stretching and I just couldn't keep my eyes off the other girls while they stretching! They all looked so sexy in those little skirts! I found myself looking and trying to glimpse their panties under the skirts as they limbered up." "Then I realized that my nipples were getting hard again! Even with the sport bra on they looked as big as grapes poking out and they were still getting bigger!" Cassandra was crying again and Julia wiped away a tear. "I went over to the coach and said I didn't feel well and that I thought I had better go see the nurse. The coach looked at me, and then her eyes got a little wide when she saw my nipples poking out. She just nodded and I ran to the nurse's office to hide." "I didn't really think anyone would be there. The nurse usually leaves at around five and this was after five thirty. So I quickly ran in and closed the door behind me. Then I heard someone behind me say 'Can I help you with something?' It was the nurse, Miss Branch. She looked at me with a polite smile then her eyes opened wide when she saw my nipples poking through my top. They were sticking out about two inches now and were starting to become very sensitive. I could feel them rubbing against the soft material of my bra while I walked. "'Come in here and let me see you.' She told me. She led me to one of the beds, made me take off my top my bra, and then to lie down. When I took off the bra my nipples stood out about six inches and were rock hard. I was so embarrassed but I was also so turned on! I couldn't look at her; I just stared at the ceiling and wished I could disappear." "'How long have they been like this?' She asked studying them. 'Ever since I got my breast implants." I answered her. 'But they're only like this when I get turned on.'" Cassandra let out a moan and collapsed against Julia. "I can't believe I said that! How could I tell her that?" Cassandra cried. "It's all right baby." Julia consoled her. "We understand. It's all ok. What happened next?" I looked at Julia and she glanced over at me. In that brief moment I could tell that Julia was getting as turned on by Cassandra's story as I was. Cassandra started talking again, "The nurse looked at me and said, 'You mean that they get like this when you become aroused? You're aroused right now?'" "'Yes' I answered her, 'I just can't help it sometimes, they're so sensitive now that as soon as I get a little turned on they feel so good I can't help it!'" "'I've never heard of anything like this before.' She said. Then she reached over and gently gripped one of my nipples with two fingers." "It felt so good that I moaned. I didn't want to but I couldn't help myself. She looked over at me and said with surprise, 'They're that sensitive?'" "Too embarrassed to speak I looked away and only nodded. Then what happened next was the real shock! She pinched my nipple again only harder this time! I couldn't believe what she was doing but it felt so good that I moaned again, louder this time. But she didn't stop! She kept squeezing my nipple driving me higher. Finally I looked up at her and then I saw it. The look in her eyes, she was getting turned on too!" Cassandra said, still clinging onto Julia. "I tried to protest, to make her stop but she wouldn't, she just kept playing with me. By now she was using her whole hand, pulling and squeezing my nipple. Then she brought up her other hand and grabbed my other nipple. I screamed when she grabbed it and started begging her to make me cum!" Cassandra was crying again but as I watched her I noticed that her nipples were pushing out of her top. She was getting turned on by just telling the story! Not that it really surprised me, listening to her tell it was making me hot as well. "And then what happened?" Prompted Julia, her voice a little huskier than normal. "Like I said, I just couldn't control myself any more! I pulled up my skirt and put my hand down the front of my panties and started fingering myself. Right in front of her! I was too turned on the stop myself but I was so embarrassed that I closed my eyes so I couldn't see her looking at me!" Cassandra said. "After a few seconds she released one of my nipples. I was about to beg her not to stop when I felt something different. Something else wrapped around my nipple, something warm and moist. I opened my eyes to see her sucking on me!" I was on fire by this point. I was squeezing my legs together and rocking my hips back and forth, trying to get a little more stimulation against the chair. I saw Julia was doing the same. I also noted that Julia's hand had wandered lower on Cassandra's back and was now gently rubbing her tight bottom. Cassandra continued, "I closed my eyes again and continued to finger myself. It was all so horrible and wonderful at the same time. I couldn't believe what I was doing but I couldn't stop, didn't want to stop! Then the nurse released my other nipple. I wondered what she was doing but I didn't open my eyes, I just lay there moaning and playing with myself. Then I felt something on my other nipple. Another something warm and moist, another mouth! My eyes snapped open and I was looking at Jennifer's face. She is on the team with me. She is one of the girls whose skirt I had been looking under while we were stretching." Cassandra had stopped crying now and her voice was sounding a little husky too. "Jennifer looked up at me and smiled around my nipple. 'I came to check on you,' she said as she slid my nipple out of her mouth. 'When I came in and saw what was going on I just got so turned on I couldn't help myself, I had to help out Nurse Branch with your… examination. I hope you don't mind.' I watched her smile devilishly and go back to sucking on me." "That was all I could take," Cassandra let out a soft moan and continued, "I came. I had a wonderful orgasm, right in front of those two women. It was incredible… so wrong, so perverted, but also so wonderful! They kept sucking on me while I had two more orgasms; the I finally had to roll off the bed to escape their hungry mouths." I thought to myself that at least this explained the three climaxes I had at the end of Toni's interview. "So then what happened?" I asked her, my mouth seemed a little dry. "As I lay there on the floor catching my breath I heard something." Cassandra went on. "I heard moaning. I looked up to see Nurse Branch and Jennifer almost completely naked, making out and fingering each other on the bed. They were both moaning and whimpering as they played with each other's cunts! I watched them for a few minutes. They were both really turned on and getting close to climax. Watching them was making me hot again and my nipples were painfully hard. Then I thought about my tit fucking of you and Alissa last night." Cassandra had stopped crying now and she had a mischievous gleam in her eye as she continued on. "I grabbed Jennifer by the legs and dragged her to the edge of the bed and bent her over so her knees were on the floor and she was tits down on the bed. Then I did the same to Nurse Branch, they didn't protest at all. I put them right next to each other and got behind them. They turned to face each other and started making out, they probably thought I was going to finger them." I could see now that Cassandra's nipples were rock hard, I thought they might rip her blouse any second now. She continued, "I grabbed one of my breasts in each hand and slowly slid a nipple into Jennifer. When she realized what I was doing she stopped making out and looked back at me as she moaned. Nurse Branch was watching too and she moaned as well. I started working myself in and out of her for a few minutes, bouncing and squeezing my tits, fucking her with my nipple while they both watched and Nurse Branch played with herself. After a few more minutes, Jennifer started to cum for the first time. I could feel Jennifer's pussy squeezing my nipple as she came. When she started to come down, I pulled out of her a pushed my other nipple into Nurse Branch. She cried out and moved her hand from her own pussy to Jennifer's." "After just a few more minutes Nurse Branch started to cum. Watching her made Jennifer cum again. They both screamed and cried out as their hot juice soaked my breasts. I kept fucking her and Nurse Branch kept fingering Jennifer. They both came over and over again. After a few of their orgasms, I came with them several times." Cassandra was quiet for a few seconds then looked at us strangely. "They were weird though, they just seemed to come out of nowhere, no build up, nothing, just, bang! Just like in the girls' room in the morning." "That's because we're still linked together." I answered Cassandra's unasked question. "This morning when you came in the girls room was when Julia and I were having sex in the shower. And the climaxes in the afternoon was when I was having sex with a few girls at work." Julia looked up at me, "A few girls?" One perfect eyebrow arched over her slanted Asian eyes. "I'll fill you in later." I said with a sly smile. Turning back to Cassandra I said, "So then what?" Cassandra took a deep breath and went on, "After a few more climaxes I collapsed on top of them. We all rested for a few minutes and then I got up. I got dressed quickly and left. I was still so embarrassed by what I had done; I just had to get away from them. So I ran down to the locker room and hid in the soccer team's changing room. They were away so I knew it would be empty. I was so confused and embarrassed I just sat there and cried." "Jennifer found me there a few minutes later. She just came over and sat next to me, she said it was all right and that I hadn't done anything wrong. She apologized for upsetting me, gave me a hug and tried to make me feel better. Before I knew what was happening she was lying on top of me and we were making out! We were still both so turned on that within seconds we were moaning into each other's open mouths. I felt her hand work its' way under my panties and thought she was moving way too fast. Then I realized that my fingers were already working away inside of her wet pussy!" Cassandra's hand had made its way up to her breast now and she was pulling on her big nipple through the material of her top. "Then from out of nowhere, another one of those strange orgasms hit me. I screamed out 'Jennifer, I'm cumming!' as I came. She pushed her fingers deep into me and cried out "I'm cumming too! Oh, Cass, I'm cumming so hard!" "I had at least two or three more orgasms with Jennifer and I think she had more than that. Afterwards she collapsed on top of me and we lay there on the bench, nuzzling and kissing each other for a while. Finally we decided we had better get up before someone found us like that and we got in trouble for having sex on campus." Cassandra was now openly playing with her breasts and had put her other hand under her skirt. I could hear soft liquid sounds coming from under her skirt and knew that her fingers were busy under there. "Then Jennifer asked me out on Friday night. She wants to go on a date with me! I couldn't believe it, my first date with a girl!" "That's wonderful Cass! I'm so happy for you! I just hope that it doesn't mean that you won't want to have sex with us anymore." I said, knowing that it wouldn't. Cassandra seemed shocked by the idea. "Oh no! I'd never leave you. I love both of you! I just want to have some fun." One corner of her mouth turned up in a twisted little grin, "Maybe I'll bring her by so you can meet her." "Well if you're so happy about your date with Jennifer, then why were you crying when I got home?" I asked. "Oh I just can't believe what happened to me today! I mean, I can't go around with my nipples poking out like that all the time! It's so embarrassing; I just don't know what to do!" Cassandra cried out. She looked like she was going to start crying again. "It's ok baby. I'll fix it for you. I'll make it so that they'll get big only when you want them too, ok? Would that be better?" I asked looking into her eyes. Cassandra sniffled a little, "You can do that? How?" I smiled, "Don't you worry about that. You just worry about what you and Jennifer are going to do on Friday." As I talked I pushed on her body with my mind, changing her nipples so they were more under her control. Now they wouldn't become large unless she wanted them too. As I watched her nipples began to shrink back down to something close to normal size. "There," I said, "All better, you should be able to control them better now." Just then there was a knock at the door. I looked over at Julia questioningly. She only shrugged and said, "It's probably Alissa." Julia went and opened the door. When she came back she was trying so hard to contain her smile that I thought she was going to pop. Behind her, Alissa walked in dressed in a stylish, low cut, woman's business suit. And walking behind Alissa was… another Alissa. Or at least a woman who looked exactly like her. They had the same curvaceous figure, long straight red hair, and the same sweet freckles. Then I realized that it must be Alissa's twin sister. I tried to remember her name but I didn't think Alissa had ever told it to me. Just then, Alissa spoke and answered my question. "Everyone, this is my sister Melissa. Melissa, this is Julia, Cassandra and Mary." She said, pointing at each of us in turn. As Melissa greeted Julia and Cassandra I studied her. She was an absolute carbon copy of Alissa. They looked exactly the same. But there was something a little different about Melissa that I couldn't put my finger on. Then she was in front of me, shaking my hand and saying how it was nice to meet me. As I looked into her eyes I realized what the difference between the twins was. While the look in Alissa's eyes was warm and friendly, Melissa's gaze was as cold as ice. No warmth or friendliness at all, it was like the cold gaze of a snake. "It's a pleasure to meet you too." I said, trying to be friendly in spite of the look she was giving me, "So, what brings you be here? Just visiting your sister?" As Melissa spoke she turned her cold eyes to her sister, "No, Alissa said she had something she wanted to talk to me about, something important. So I dropped what I was doing and came over here. Then she says that she can't tell me yet and that she has to bring me to meet all of you first. Well ok, I've meet them, Alissa," Melissa said loudly to her sister even though she was only five feet away, "are you finally going to tell me what this is all about, or am I going to have to guess?" Alissa just stood there silently, looking embarrassed. She was obviously very intimidated by her sister. It was odd, I thought to myself, that the two sisters were so alike physically and so different mentally. Changed Ch. 04 When Alissa didn't say anything, Melissa looked even more disgusted. "Well, what is it?" Alissa looked at me pleadingly. I smiled at her, nodded and said, "Go ahead baby, its ok. We're all here for you." I gave her mind a gentle push to calm her. I saw her take a deep breath and look directly into her twin sister's eyes. "Melissa, I wanted to tell you I… I… that is, I… like…I like girls…" Alissa trailed off, not knowing what else to say and wondering what her sister's reaction would be. Melissa stood there for a full ten seconds staring at her sister with a confused look on her beautiful face. Then as if someone flipped a switch, she exploded. "WHAT?! You don't like girls, you're not a lesbian! That's disgusting! No sister of mine is a dyke! Who put you up to this? Was it you?!" She yelled out, rounding on me. "You convinced her she's a lesbian, didn't you! And she's so stupid and gullible that she believed you! God Alissa," she said, now turning back to her sister, "you are such a moron sometimes! I swear I have to do everything for you!" Tears had started streaming down Alissa's face and she looked like she wanted to hide under the couch. I couldn't believe how cruel Melissa was to her own sister. "Come on Alissa, were getting out of her. You're not spending any more time with these stupid dykes!" She grabbed Alissa's hand and started dragging her towards the door. By now I had seen more than enough. "Melissa." I called out. She stopped and turned towards me, a look of pure hatred was in her green eyes. "What?!" I looked her square in the eye and pushed on her mind. "You're going to do everything that any one of us tells you to do from now on." I said aloud. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Julia, a smile was spreading on her lips and her dark, Asian eyes twinkled. Melissa looked at me as if I was something on the bottom of her shoe. "I'm going to do everything you say? HA! You're even more dense than I thought. You might even be more dense than her." She said, jerking her thumb in Alissa's direction. "Come on Alissa, I'm getting you the fuck out of here." She started dragging Alissa to the door again. "Stop." I called. Melissa immediately froze in her tracks. Her eyes widened a little; she looked around, a little confused. "Alissa, come over here sweetheart." I called out to her, holding my arms out for her. Alissa looked at me, looked at her sister, then back at me again. Her face was a study in misery, tears were still streaming down her face and her cheeks were flushed red. After a few moments she yanked her hand away from her sister and still looking at her, took one step towards me, then another, and another. Finally she backed into me, turned her back on her sister and threw her arms around me. Melissa looked like she was about to explode. Her face was flushed bright pink and her hands were shaking. "Alissa! How dare you choose that dyke over ME! I'm your sister; I'm the only one who cares about you! No one else cares about you and no one else ever will! Now get over here, were leaving, NOW!" Alissa buried her head in my neck and clung to me while her sister yelled and screamed. After a few more seconds I had heard enough. "Melissa, shut up." I said without even raising my voice. Melissa's mouth immediately snapped shut. Her eyes bulged with anger and her face went from pink to bright red. She was so mad and her face was so red that I thought her hair might burst into flame at any second. But there was also something else starting to show through the anger… fear. She wanted to leave but couldn't. She was obeying my command and didn't know why. I led Alissa over to the couch and sat her down. As soon as I sat down next to her she snuggled in close to me. Julia sat down on her other side and Alissa leaned over and hugged her too. Cassandra sat down on the couch next to Julia, leaned over and gave Alissa a quick kiss. Then we all turned to look at Melissa who was still standing in the middle of the room, halfway to the front door. As we all sat watching her, the bluster quickly died away and her face went from red to almost white is a surprisingly short period of time. The reality of her situation had finally sunk in past her anger and she was scarred. After a few seconds I broke the silence. "Well Melissa, it appears that your sister has made her choice, she prefers us over you." I allowed a slow smile to spread across my face. "What do you think of that? Oh, and you're allowed to speak now, but only the truth, you will never lie to any of us ever again." The anger was now and it was replaced with shock and fright, she wanted to leave but couldn't and her sister had abandoned her. "Please just let me go." She said in a surprisingly meek voice. I was surprised at how fast her bluster had broken down. I guessed it was mostly a show and that she wasn't as tough as she wanted everyone to believe. "Well, Melissa, it seems to me that you owe all of us an apology. You were exceptionally rude to all of us, especially your sister. What do you think we should do about that? Hmmm?" "Please let me go." Melissa said again. "I just want to go." "No, I don't think so, not yet. You were rude and I don't like it when my guests are rude. Well, Julia saw you first so I think you should make it up to her first." I saw Julia's grin turn into a broad smile. "Go give Julia a kiss." Melissa looked at me in horror. "NO! I'm not kissing her; I'm not a dyke like you! I'm leaving!" But her body had already started walking towards Julia. She walked over to the couch in front of Julia, bent down and with her eyes wide with terror, gave Julia a quick peck on the cheek. "That wasn't what I had in mind. Give her a real kiss, with some tongue. Make out with her till I tell you to stop." I directed her. "NO!" Melissa wailed but she leaned in and kissed Julia on the lips. Their mouths opened and I could see their tongues dancing as they sucked and licked each other. I let it go on for a minute or two while the rest of us watched. After a few moments, Melissa's eyes slid closed and she almost seemed to be leaning into Julia a little bit. I stole little glances at the other girls to see what their reactions were. Cassandra seemed only mildly interested but Alissa's eyes were riveted on the scene before us. Her mouth was open slightly and she seemed to be panting a little. She slowly licked her lips then bit her bottom lip as she continued to watch. Time to step this up a little, I thought. "OK girls, that's enough." I said aloud. Melissa pulled back, a little slowly, I thought. Did she enjoy that a little? I wasn't sure but I could see her nipples pushing out through her blouse. Maybe… "Now that you've made up to Julia it's time to make up to another one of us." I scowled at Melissa a little, "I think you were very rude and cruel to your sister, in fact, I thought it was completely disgusting the way you called her dense. So you will have to do something extra special to make it up to her." I turned and looked at Cassandra, then Julia and Alissa. "So, what do you girls think she should do to make it up to her?" Julia smiled a devilish little smile and said, "How about a strip tease?" Melissa's eyes went wide but to my surprise, she didn't say anything. Before I could answer, Cassandra spoke up. "I think she should give Alissa a lap dance!" I looked at Cassandra with mild surprise; I didn't realize how kinky the young girl could be. Melissa's eyes had gotten as big as saucers and she started shaking her head quickly, it was actually more like a twitch than a shake. "N, n, n, no! I can't! She's my sis… sis... sister, I can't do that! I'll do anything else, anything, please, just not that!" I turned to Alissa, "Well sweetheart, what do you think? Would you like to have a little fun with Melissa? A little payback for all the years of abuse?" Alissa looked at her sister for a long moment, then at me, and then back to her sister for another long moment. Finally, she bit her bottom lip again and nodded almost imperceptibly. "Well, Melissa, it looks like your sister has decided. Why don't you start the show by doing a little strip tease for us, then you can ride Alissa's lap." I paused, "You do know how to do a strip tease and a lap dance, don't you?" "Yes, I've seen them in movies." Melissa replied in a soft little voice as she climbed up on the coffee table. "Oh and Melissa, one other thing." I said to her. When she turned to look at me I continued, "You don't have to like what you are going to do, but you're going to be very turned on by it. It will make you more turned on than you have ever been in your life. Now dance." I reached behind me and flipped on the CD player and as smooth Contemporary Jazz filled the air, Melissa started to twirl around and rock her hips. She slowly unbuttoned her blouse and allowed it to flap open as she twirled and gyrated. Her hands held the blouse closed as she spun and swayed on the table. Then she bent over and slowly slid her slacks down her legs giving us ample time to study her firm ass. She was wearing white satin panties with just a little lace along the front. Next she turned her back to us and seductively pulled the open blouse off one shoulder and then the other. Holding the blouse at her elbows she looked at us over her shoulder and smiled, but the smile didn't extend to her eyes, they were still wide and scarred. Next, she pushed the bra straps down as well. Reaching behind herself, she unhooked her bra strap and allowed everything to slide off one arm, then the other. Topless now she continued to dance with her back to us, her hands started to wander up and down her body as she swayed. Next she bent over giving us another view of her ass. I could see a small wet spot on her panties over her pussy. She was getting excited as I had told her to. She hooked her thumbs under her panties and with her wide hips swaying, slid them slowly down her long legs. We were all given an excellent view of her puffy, pink cunt lips that were glistening wet from her arousal. From what I could see, her red hair was neatly trimmed in front and shaved everywhere else. Finally Melissa turned around. She kept one hand covering her bush and the other arm across her breasts while she continued to dance for us. As she continued to sway and gyrate she slowly slid her arm down so one breast was exposed, then the other. She used the now free hand to stroke and fondle her breasts while still covering her pussy with the other hand. Finally she pushed the hand covering her pussy down farther between her legs and started rubbing her slit while we watched. Melissa let out a soft moan and her eyes closed. She was obviously enjoying herself now. By now my pussy was absolutely on fire. My panties were soaked with my arousal and my nipples were so hard they actually hurt. I decided it was time to get this show on the road. "Melissa, I think it's time for Alissa to get her lap dance." I said. Melissa immediately stepped down from the table and came over to stand in front of her sister then she paused. While she appeared to be enjoying herself on the table a minute earlier, now she seemed hesitant. "I… I… I don't know about this, it doesn't seem right." She said as she stood before us. I got up and went to sit in the armchair so I would have a better view. Cassandra got up, sat in the recliner and Julia came over and sat in my lap. Alissa remained seated alone in the center of the overstuffed couch. I looked over at Melissa who was still standing naked in front of her twin sister. "Don't worry; once you and your sister have a good cum you'll think it's alright." Melissa looked over at me, "Cum? You mean I have to make her have an orgasm?" "Yes, and you're going to have one too, many of them actually." I smiled at her as I ran my fingers through Julia's silky, black hair. "Now get on with it. And don't forget… enjoy it." Alissa was looking up at her sister with eyes so full of lust I almost didn't recognize her. I couldn't even imagine what was going through her head, knowing she was about to have her twin sister sitting on her lap, getting her off. Without saying another word, Melissa walked over and stood over her sister. She slowly sat down and started to rub herself on the tops of Alissa's legs, dry humping her. As she ground herself against Alissa she started to moan and whimper a little. Her hands went to her breasts, which were right in front of her sister's face and she started to fondle herself. She's actually quite good at this, I thought. My hand wandered between my legs and my fingers started to softly caress my sex through my pants. Julia, who was still sitting in my lap, turned to straddle my leg and started to slowly work herself against my thigh. I looked to Alissa to see what her reactions were. Alissa's eyes were riveted to Melissa's breasts and with good reason; they were magnificent, just like her own. Large and full, covered with a smattering of freckles and crowned with large nipples that seemed just a bit too dark for her fair skin. It appeared that not only her face was identical to her sisters; her body was identical as well. Alissa licked her lips as she stared at her sister's tits. Melissa groaned as she continued to fondle her breasts and grind against her sister. She reached one hand out and ran her fingers through her sisters long red hair, up the side of her neck and up the back of her head. There she gently grabbed a handful for Alissa's hair and pulled her sisters face down between her breasts. Her other hand came up and also held the back of Alissa's head as she rubbed her sisters face in her cleavage. "Melissa," I called out to her, "your sister is supposed to be having the fun here, not you. I think you should give her some pleasure before you give any to yourself." Immediately Melissa pushed Alissa back into the deep couch cushions. She moved up so she was now sitting directly in Alissa's lap. Her cunt was now directly over Alissa's, separated only by Alissa's pants. Her hands started tracing Alissa's breasts through her thin blouse. Never using more than her fingertips, Melissa ran her fingers all over her sister's front, around her breasts, down her ribs, up her stomach, but always avoiding Alissa's hard nipples. In a few minutes, Alissa was whimpering and moaning with delight, as her sister tortured her delightfully. She pushed her hips up and thrust her pussy at her sister, trying to grind their cunts together through her clothes. "Oh yeah you little bitch, that's right, play with my tits!" Alissa groaned to her sister. Melissa's eyes closed and her head rolled back as her sister's pussy pushed harder and harder on her already stimulated pussy. She was moaning almost continuously now and the spot where her pussy was rubbing against Alissa's lap was soaking wet with her excitement. Alissa watched her sister and smiled as she said, "Do you like playing with my tit's Melissa? Are my tit's making you hot?" "Yes… I mean NO! I mean… I… I…" Melissa said softly between her moans. "What's the matter Melissa? You don't like being turned on by my titties?" Alissa continued toying with her sister. "This isn't right. I… I… Oh! No, I can't be doing this! Oooohhhh!" Melissa was shaking her head, her eyes were still closed but her hands continued to wander over Alissa's body. "Answer my question you little bitch, are my tits turning you on?" Melissa said in a tone that made it clear that her sister was required to answer. "Yes, Alissa. Your tits are turning me on." Melissa said in a low, throaty voice. Alissa smiled, "Well then, if you like them so much, take them out and suck on them." Melissa's eyes snapped open as she looked at her sister in fear. Her mouth opened slightly like she was going to protest but no words came out. Then her hands started unbuttoning Alissa's blouse. She began at the bottom and worked quickly up, expertly unfastening the six small buttons. Once the buttons were undone she pushed open the blouse revealing a brightly colored, tropical print, silk bra. Melissa's hand went up and traced the top edge of the bra lightly with a fingertip. The fingertip worked down into Alissa's cleavage and up the other breast. Then it traced down the side and underneath of her full breast. Finally in one quick movement she brought her other hand up and pulled Alissa's bra up, exposing her wonderful breasts. In a flash, Melissa's lips were wrapped around one of Alissa's hard little nubs. One hand gripped each tit as she suckled greedily on first one nipple, then the other. She had slid down further on Alissa's legs so her mouth could more easily reach her sisters tits. She now was straddling one of Alissa's legs, desperately grinding into her thigh as she sucked tit. Little moans were escaping from her mouth as her passion built and she worked herself closer to her first orgasm with another woman. Alissa was moaning deliriously with the stimulation she was receiving. The pleasure came not only from the inexperienced but surprisingly talented mouth but also from the incredibly erotic notion that the mouth that was on her belonged to her sister. Even through her moans, Alissa continued to taunt her sister, "You have a… a very talented… tongue you little… you little slut!" Alissa moaned loudly as Melissa took both breasts, pushed them together and turned her nipples together. She then managed to get both nipples into her mouth at the same time. By now Cassandra had removed all of her clothes and was masturbating as she watched the sisters. She was leaning back in the recliner, moaning softly with both hands working busily between her legs. Julia and I were still fully clothed. She was still grinding against my thigh but had now started to fondle her breasts, her eyes were glued on the sisters and apparently didn't notice what Cassandra was doing. I tapped her on the arm and when she turned to look at me I nodded my head a Cassandra. Julia looked at her, then back at me and quirked one eyebrow as her lips twisted into a small, sly smile. We got up; quickly helped each other strip off all of our clothes off and went over to Cassandra. Cassandra had started watching when we got up and smiled up at us as we stood over her. "Can you girls help me? I just can't seem to make myself cum. Do you think you could help me out?" She said in a teasing, little girl voice. "Oh, I think we can probably help you out." Julia cooed as she traced one bright red fingernail around Cassandra's hard nipple. As Cassandra let out a soft moan I found myself wondering why I hadn't noticed until now that Julia had painted her fingernails. I guessed that I had just been too distracted. But I had to admit to myself that now that I had seen them, they looked very sexy, particularly while they were tracing Cassandra's nipple. Julia bent down and cupping one of Cassandra's massive breasts in both hands, started to suckle on her little nub. I followed Julia's example and attached my lips to Cassandra's other nipple. Within moments Cassandra was moaning loudly and her head was rocking from side to side as she studied each of the two bodies that were pleasuring her. When I looked up again, Alissa's pants were gone and Melissa's face was buried between her legs. Well, that was fast, I thought to myself. I was a little disappointed at not seeing Melissa strip her sister's pants off, but my disappointment soon faded as I saw the look of rapture on Alissa's face. She was going to climax any second now. She would cum, and all of us would all cum with her, all, except Melissa, that is. I wondered if I should make Melissa cum with us as I thought of her tongue slurping away inside her sister. Her tongue… hmmm… Changed Ch. 04 "Melissa, look at me." I called to her. She immediately stopped eating her sister and turned to face me. He beautiful face was slick with Alissa's slippery wetness. Alissa looked at me and whimpered. "No, don't make her stop! I'm so close! Please, I need to cum, I need it now!" "I know baby, just a second, I need to make a few alterations here." I said to her and I looked into Melissa's eyes. I pushed on Melissa's body, changing her into what I wanted. I watched as her eyes rolled back into her head, her mouth was still closed and she let out a soft moan through her clenched teeth. I pushed again and her mouth opened as she moaned louder. "Melissa, I just changed your body for you. I think you'll have a lot more fun now." I gave her a wink when she opened her eyes and looked at me. "What… how… what did you do to me?" Melissa asked weakly. As she asked one of her hands trailed up her body and she started pulling on one of her dark nipples. I went on lazily, "Well, you seem to like eating pussy so much, I thought maybe I would make it even more pleasurable for you. I made your mouth into a second cunt. Your lips are now just as sensitive as your pussy lips. The inside of your mouth is as sensitive as the inside of your cunt and most importantly," I smiled, "your tongue is now a just as sensitive as your clit." Melissa looked as if she was about to speak when but I said, "Now get your face back between your sister's legs where it belongs." She immediately turned and dropped to her knees and picked up where she left off. But it was quickly obvious that something was different. I could hear Melissa whimpering into her sister's pussy and she worked away. Within a few seconds her movements became jerky and her back arched. A couple seconds more and we could all hear her scream of unhinged ecstasy as she went over the edge and came. Watching her sister have and orgasm while eating her out was too much for Alissa and with a cry that mimicked her sister's, she came as well. I felt the fire explode through my veins as I shared Alissa's orgasm. Every muscle in my body seemed to become as tense a coiled wire while my insides turned molten. My jaws were clenched so tight my teeth hurt but that small drop of pain was lost in a relentless river of ecstasy that washed away all rational thought. I collapsed onto Cassandra, burying my face between her breasts as I clung to her slender body. Her arms strong arms wrapped around my, crushing me into her as her body writhed with mine. Julia dropped down beside me, planting her mouth on Cassandra's, jamming her long tongue down her throat as she shared the same passion. With stunning force another orgasm ripped through my body, quickly followed by another. The screams, grunts, whimpers, and cries that came from the other girls all mingled into a loud, unintelligible keening wail that filled my ears and added to my excitement. I could hear Cassandra's whimpering moans echoing through her chest and she clutched my head between her breasts, threatening to smother me. Twisting my head to get a breath of cool air, I saw Melissa's tight ass still up in the air as she continued to eat her sister's pussy. The lips of her sex were bright pink and puffy from her arousal and her wetness was running down the inside of her legs as she came over and over again. Her whole body was trembling and she was swaying slightly, she looked like she was about to collapse. Alissa arched her back again, driving her pussy hard in to her sister's face as she came again with a loud cry of, "Oh God! No… no… not again! Aaaahhhhhh!" Her head whipped from side to side, as she screamed, "Please, no more! No…no… no more…. please, ohhhhhh!" The world seemed to explode as another wave rolled over me. Blinding light flooded my head as bells rang in my ears. I knew that if I didn't end this soon I wouldn't be able to maintain my sanity. "Melissa… Melissa…" I tried to yell out but my mouth didn't work. All I could get out was an unintelligible groaning cry as the surges of ecstasy continued on and on. Reality slipped away and I found myself adrift in a sea of euphoria. Time seemed to lose all meaning as climax after climax assaulted me. I felt warm hands grip my face and I felt something warm and wet push into my mouth. I opened my eyes to see the beautiful face of Julia, her dark eyes looking directly into mine as we shared our passion. Our tongues danced while we rode out another orgasm and then another. Finally Julia broke our kiss and in a trembling breath said, "I love you." A heady rush of euphoria washed over me at the feeling Julia's words had given me. A pleasure greater than any orgasm filled my brain and soaked into my soul as I looked into her dark eyes. As blackness began creeping into the corners of my vision I tried to speak but no words would come. Taking a breath, I tried again, "I love you too." Julia smiled as she collapsed on top of me. The soft feel of her slender body was the last thing I felt before I followed her into darkness. I awoke the next morning with the pleasant, warm post orgasm afterglow still in my veins. Julia's perfect body was curled around my side, her head resting on my shoulder. The smell of her shampoo still lingered in her silky black hair that spilled across my chest. I sat there for a few minutes, studying the smooth curves of her tight body, enjoying the warm feel of her cuddled against me. Cassandra walked quietly into the room, dressed in the same clothes she wore last night. She had a travel coffee mug in her hands and car keys in the other. "I have to go if that's ok. Melissa and Alissa left about an hour ago… together," her lips quirked a little at this last bit. "I'll give you a call later. Bye." She bent down and gave me a quick kiss on the lips that tasted of coffee and strawberry lip balm. "Are you coming by later?" I asked softly so as not to wake Julia. "Of course." Cassandra said as she looked at the still sleeping form of Julia. "She really is very beautiful." I looked down with a smile, "Yes, she is." Was all I could manage to say. Cassandra looked over at me and smiled a soft smile. "I'll see you later, have a good day." And she walked out, closing the door softly behind her. "I will." I said to no one as I placed a soft kiss on Julia's smooth forehead. "I will." Changed Ch. 05 The drive over to her shop was one of the tensest situations she'd ever been in. No words were spoken and she was basically plastered to the car door. Being enclosed in such a small space with such a very large man was suffocating. Theo was having the exact same problem. Her scent had filled the car and his wolf was basically rolling around like a cat with catnip. Every muscle in his body was straining and he had to shift his leg so Karen wouldn't see the effect she was having on him. When they finally pulled up and parked in front of her shop, Karen bolted out of the car. However, in her haste to get out, she managed to trip over herself, landing hard on the side walk. Theo got out to help, but she popped up before he reached her. "I'm fine!" she said, her voice taking on a slight shrillness as she brushed herself off. She turned quickly and went to open the shop, fumbling with the keys briefly. Theo chuckled softly, shaking his head as he followed the flustered woman inside. He watched in awe as the tension seemed to melt out of her shoulders as she inhaled deeply. She turned to him, with a smile, which quickly slid off of her face, and she worried her bottom lip, which in turn made his pants grow uncomfortably tight. "I guess you can use my office to hang out in," she said hesitantly, before gaining some of her fire back "but No Snooping!" she finished hotly. Theo simply nodded, though he knew that there was no way he was going to be able to control himself given a chance to find out more about her. As she led him to the office, she pointed out different things such as the small kitchenette and bathroom. Theo just nodded absently, not paying attention to anything other than the hypnotizing sway of her hips. He swallowed hard when she looked back at him seductively. "Are you even paying attention?" she asked softly "Aye," he responded deeply, "Though not to what you're saying." Karen glared at him before rolling her eyes "Pig." she said. "Dog." he responded quickly "I prefer dog." Her eyes widened in surprise slightly, before she recovered quickly "As you wish," she quipped before turning back around, patting her thigh softly "Come on doggy!" Theo barked out a laugh and shook his head again before following her the rest of the way to her office. "You don't have to stay in the office, all I ask is that you leave me alone while I work," Karen said as she gestured him into her small, messy office. Theo simply nodded as he entered the cramped room and sat down in her chair. As Karen started to walk away, Theo called to her "One more thing," She stuck her head back into the doorway "What?" "You're not going to come back and shoot me are you?" he asked with his crooked grin. Karen shot him a saccharine smile. "Only if you bother me, or if I catch you snooping." she said sweetly. Theo's laughter chased her down the hall back to her work station and she couldn't help but smile. Well, shit. She thought, I might just start to like him. Soon Karen lost herself in her work as she cut, prepared and soldered piece after piece into the image of the wolf that she had drawn. She chuckled as she remembered pull the gun on him and his shocked expression, making her think of her dad. Yet, as she looked down at the drawing that now had a wolf's head in beautiful, swirly grey glass, she couldn't help but think of how her life had changed. As she stared at the wolf, she also caught herself wondering what Theo looked like in his wolf form. Chuckling to herself about her wild thoughts, she continued to work, eventually all thoughts ceased and she focused on the glass. Theo forced himself to wait about 30 minutes before he started to snooping through her office. At first he was cautious, worried that she could hear the shuffling of papers as he went through the piles on her desk. He had found mostly bills, receipts and other things relation to the business on the desk, so deciding to be bolder, he started to go through the drawers on the desk. The top drawer had little bits and bobbles in it, and the second had more business paperwork. "Jackpot." he whispered when he opened the third drawer. Inside were tons of pictures, notes, doodles and letters. Finally he would be able to learn a little about the tiny woman who had turned his life upside down. He glanced through some of the letters, most of which were between her and her dad when she was a child. They showed intense pride, determination and nerves of steel as she recounted whatever adventure she was on at the time. They also revealed that much of her knowledge of fighting came from actual masters from whatever martial art she was studying at the time. The drive and encouragement from her father also explained why she was so wary. It also explained why she pulled a gun on him, he realized with a chuckle. Moving on from the letters, he turned to the little notes she seemed to have wrote to herself. Some were shopping lists and to do lists, while other were records of training/ Theo couldn't help but be impressed with the incredible regiment the tiny woman could put herself through. No wonder she could take down Night Fairies he thought, she might even give me a run for my money. He set aside the notes and finally turned to the pictures. The first were of her and Josh doing various things. Theo was shocked at the intense feeling of jealousy that reared its ugly head at the sight of one picture where Karen was sleeping peacefully curled around Josh as he gave the camera a 'what can you do' look. Shaking his head, he set aside those pictures and picked up a picture set into a glass frame. The frame was handmade out of stained glass and it was obvious that this was one of her first pieces she'd ever made. The picture inside was of her and her dad when she was small. Her dad had her on his shoulders as they both laughed at something. Theo smiled at the picture, and turned the frame over to see what year the picture was taken. She was only 5 in the picture. He chuckled to himself and looked at the adorable girl his woman once was. Deciding that enough was enough, he went to put everything back in the drawers. Fate however, had different plans. As he went to place the picture frame back in the drawer, it slipped from his hand and shattered on the floor. "Fuck!" he whispered fiercely as he quickly bent to retrieve the pieces. "What are you doing?" Karen's icy voice bit out. Theo froze and slowly looks up. He flinched slightly at the utter rage and hate he saw in her eyes. "I come up to see if you wanted to grab a bite to eat, try and be cordial, 'Give him a chance Karen, he's a good guy'" she ended in a mocking tone of Becca's voice. She glared harder at him and for the first time in his life Theo stuttered. "I-I-I-... uh..." He stammered, as he realized just how bad he messed up. He straightened up slowly, as she approached him like a predator. His wolf perked up at the threat, meeting her aggressiveness with its own. Once she reached the mess, she knelt down and swiftly retrieve the picture from the shards of glass. She turned it over and for a moment there was such a sadness in her eyes that Theo sucked in a sharp breath. He reached out to comfort her, but she shot to her feet and jabbed in him the chest with her finger. "HOW DARE YOU!" she screamed at him "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Her fist made contact with his jaw before he even realized what was happening. "You hit me!" he said incredulously, as he blocked the next blow by grabbing her wrist, his own anger rising. However, he missed the next blow as her knee came up and landed a hard hit on his thigh. "Son of a... "He hissed as he quickly caught her other wrist as it came flying towards his cheek. His anger flared brightly and before she knew what had happened, she was pinned against the wall, arms stretched above her head "Enough, Lass," he growled in a thick brogue, his eyes a brilliant glow. "I know you're new to being in a pack of werewolves, but let me make something very clear. I am the second highest ranking wolf, and hitting me is a threat to my position and my wolf. Now, I'm going to let this go since you didn't know, but it would be very wise to never do that again." Slowly he released her hands and stepped back, only to be struck again by a right hook to the jaw. His growl was ferocious and he bodily slammed her back against the wall in the same position. "Are ye fuckin' daft, Lass?" he shook her slightly. All Karen could do was growl back at him. Her anger was a living thing and nothing she did could temper it. She struggled against his grip, throwing her body against his. Theo groaned quietly, closing his eyes and pressing harder against her as her pelvis made contact with his. His breathing turned heavy, her scent flooding his sense. He opened his eyes and had the anger shocked out of him by a soft blue glow that emanated from her tattoo and now blue eyes. Still she struggled, "Let me go!" she shrieked, in an almost panicked tone. Theo leaned his entire frame against hers, stopping and movement from her. He ignored how perfectly his large body fit against her small one. Concentrating on the fact that she had to calm down or things were going to get really bad really fast. "Shh Shh," he said softly against her ear "Donna fight me lass, ya need to calm down." Karen growled and tried to buck against him, shock flaring in her eyes when she felt the massive member that ground against her pelvis. Theo groaned again and pushed back against her, his member rubbing against her stomach. "Lass," he bit out "If you donna calm down, yer mark is gonna grow." He swallowed hard "You know what happens when it grows." He smirked down at her, reminding her that he had heard everything the last time it had happened. She bared her teeth back as him, his smirk both exciting her and enraging her. "You're a bast... uhhhhnn." Her curse died on her lips as the pleasure pain came rushing in. She immediately rolled her hips into the large mass, arching her back off the wall, practically panting with need. "Och, lass," Theo groaned as he pushed into her hips. His small bit of entertainment dying as he realized he was stuck in this mess too. "I'm not strong enough to stop. You've riled my wolf up too much." She either didn't hear him, or ignored him as her hips started the age old rhythm, rubbing herself against him. "Karen, Please, I won't stop..." you'll hate me forever, he finished the thought in his head. Suddenly, time seemed to stop and Theo found himself in a dark room. "What the?" he starts, as a vision swims before him. Letting out a harsh breath, his jaw dropped and his loin hardened even more. Standing in front of him was Karen, but different. She was dressed in a completely sheer drape of fabric that wasn't fashioned into anything type of clothing. Beneath that, a tattoo glowed a soft blue over her entire body, and her glowing blue eyes pierced into him unblinking. "I'm sorry to have interrupted," she said in a seductive voice "But I needed to make a few things clear to you. Karen will never hate you. She may be upset, angry, confused, and hurt, but she will never hate you. The only way she will hate you is if you don't help her. Theo, you MUST help her. You are part of the reason she got this emotional, this will be her first trial through emotion. She cannot make it on her you. You must help her past this trial." As she spoke, she slowly approached him until she was within touching distance. Slowly, she reached out and gently ran a hand down his chest, practically purring, a sound that shot straight to Theo's already molten core. "She has chosen well in you. Just as your wolf has chosen well in her. You must take care of her. "She turned to leave, but Theo gently caught her arm. "Wait!" she said breathlessly "Who are you?" She laughed a tinkling laugh that had a dark, seductive undertone to it. "I am to Karen and your wolf is to you" "You're her Spyrim half?" Theo said mystified as she nodded. "She has not yet met me, though with your help she will soon. It will take time, patience and stamina" her eyes glittered mischievously as she eyed his massive bulge. "But we will become one just as you and your wolf are. She needs a guiding hand, help her..." she ended softly and dissolved into thin air. Theo was suddenly back in Karen's office, his breathing heavy. Karen kept up the hypnotizing rhythm on his shaft. Their eyes met, his glowing gold and hers glowing blue. "Please," she whispered breathlessly. "Fuck!" Theo cursed harshly. He dropped her arms, and grabbed her thighs in one smooth motion, picking her up and pressing her back into the wall, his member now cradled between her legs. Karen cried out at the contact and wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him in closer. "Oh God!" she moaned as the heat from his member melted into her. Theo quickly silenced her with a brutal claiming kiss. They both moaned at the contact and taking advantage of her open mouth, he quickly sweeps his tongue against hers. As his tongue moved against hers, she came. Theo growled, and pushed against her even harder, loving the way her legs spasmed around his waist. Karen was seeing stars as she flew apart for him. She gasped and whimpered in his ear as he blazed a trail of scorching kisses down her neck to her collar bone. In this position, his strong neck was to close for her to not taste. Slowly she slid her tongue from his collar to his ear, loving the strong male taste of him. Theo grunted and groaned, his fingers curling into a bruising grip on her butt as he bit down softly where he neck met her shoulder. Karen called out his name as she came again. She spasmed against him as he held her close. Suddenly, he was wearing too many clothes for her needs. She started to frantically tug at his shirt, sliding her hands underneath to feel his sculpted abs. "Och, Sweet." He whispered against her and he pressed himself into her again "I love the feel of your hands on me" Karen sighed and rolled her hips to meet his. "Touch me too?" she asked softly. "Always!" he groaned as he ripped the front of her jeans open. Karen squealed, thought it quickly morphed into a moan as Theo stroked her through her silk panties. "Silk?" he asked, bring his head back to gaze into her lust filled eyes. She nodded and blushed "I like to wear lingerie," she said sheepishly "It makes me feel pretty." Theo let out a strangled sound, "Strip." he commanded and he set her down, holding her in place with and hand planted on the wall on either side of her. She blushed harder, and slowly removed her old t-shirt and the ripped jeans. Underneath her clothes, she wore a light pink, silk and lace, bra and thong set, complete with a garter belt hooked to two bands of lace that were around her thighs. Karen's blush grew under his heated stare, but she didn't hide herself. "Under everything?" he croaked out as he gently ran his over one of the lace bra cups. "Mmhmm" Karen moaned and she arched her back into his touch. "Even when you spar with Becca?" "Yes." she moaned out, as he gently tweaked a lace clad nipple. "Och Lass, yer gonna kill me." he growled as he stared at the sight before him. "Theo," she pleaded "I need more." Before she could even blink, she was pressed back against the wall. He gazed at the tattoo, now fully visible as it glowed, swirled and slowly spread out across more of her creamy skin. Struck by inspiration, he gently traced one of the swirls on her shoulder with his tongue. "OH GOD!" She screamed as she went completely stiff, her breath stopping in her throat. Thinking it had hurt her, he stopped and she relaxed again, panting slightly. "I'm sorry lass, did it hurt?" he asked as he gently kissed her. "No," she said breaking the kiss, looking at him confused "It was just a really intense feeling, I can't describe it." "Really?" he asked mischievously and he wiggled his eyebrows at her "Oh Theo, please Don't... Ahhh..." her sentence ended in a shout as he tongued her mark again. She went completely stiff again, her eyes rolling back and soft moans fell from her lips in time with his licks. Karen panted as he continued to lave her shoulder and neck with his tongue. She grasped his shoulders, digging her fingernails into his muscles. The pain broke his tedious hold on his restraint. Growling, he cupped her sex slipping one finger around her thong. In one swift motion, he ripped the flimsy, damp material from her. He kept up the torment on her mark, as her cries rose in pitch and her fingers dug more into his shoulders. She cried out and she came hard around his finger when he gently brushed her clit. Still Theo continued to lick, immediately throwing her back over the edge, giving her another powerful orgasm. "Oh god," she panted "Please Theo!" she met his eyes, both full of hunger "More..." she moaned. "Yes!" he hissed as he released himself from the confines of his pants. He grabbed both of her hips, leaving bruises, and he gently slid her along his shaft. "Yes! Yes!" she screamed throwing her head to the side, granting him more access to her tattoo. "Take me!" "Oh God baby." he ground out "I will, but cum for me again, I want you to cum again." He continued to slide her over his cock, slowing down, getting ready to enter her when she came. He bit down on her shoulder, gently scraping his teeth over the tattoo. The sensation was so great, Karen completely frozen, eyes rolled back, mouth agape. One heartbeat. Two heartbeats. Suddenly a low wail escaped her as she shattered in the most powerful orgasm of her life. Liquid gushed from her entrance, coating Theo's member and soaking the front of his pants, with more flowing with each convulsion. "Mine." he growled softly as he went to enter her. He barely got into position to thrust into her clenching tunnel when he hit the barrier. "Oh shit!" Theo cursed as he used every single ounce of willpower to freeze, to prevent any damage to the thin veil of skin. Karen's eye flew open. Gone was the soft blue glow, the need, the pleasure that had filled them since the beginning. In their place was realization, fear, and embarrassment. "Fuck!" Theo cursed again, as he gently set the little female down and back up a step, his member hanging in the air between them. "I'm so sorry. I- I-I-I I didn't know. God, Karen I'm sorry!" Karen just looked around quickly, like she was waking up from a dream. She let out a small squeak, spared him a tiny glance, scooped up her clothes and dashed out of the room. "Fuck!" Theo said again "Fuck!" he said louder as he fell into the chair. He leaned back and threw an arm over his eyes, not even bothering to put his throbbing cock away. He stayed that way for a while, berating himself for pushing her too far. Now she'll never let us get close to her, he said dejectedly to his wolf, who just cocked his head at him and wagged his tail slightly. Yeah, I know what I said, but, you were right, something about her... it's different. His wolf chuffed at him and wagged his tail harder Too bad I fucked everything up, his wolf let out a soft whine, and wrapped himself around his human half. Theo was brought back to the office by Karen, who was trying to sneak back in. Interesting. He thought as he remained completely still. His breath caught and he jerked slightly as she placed a hand on his knee and knelt in front of him. "What are you doing lass?" He asked huskily and peeked out from under his arm. The way she was staring at his member made it jerk and grow rock hard, making his breath catch. She licked her lips, worried the bottom one for a second, licked them again and in a sheepish voice answered. "Making us even." Changed Ch. 05 Theo groaned and the chuckled softly, his cock painfully hard, as he removed his arm and looked down hungrily at her. He knew his eyes were gold as the wolf came forward slightly, the sight of his woman on her knees, the flush of sex coloring her face and neck as she stared almost hungrily at his cock. "You donna have to do anything lass," he said "I'm perfectly fine." he shifted forward, in a move to get up, when she gently pushed him back down. "Just because I'm a...a... a virgin," she stumbled over the word and blushed a deep red "doesn't mean that I don't know how uncomfortable you are." She still had her gaze locked on his member and widened in surprise when it jerked again at her, earning her a crooked smile from its owner. "Sweetness," he said gruffly "You don't owe me anything." She scoffed, still her eyes mesmerized by the massive member in from of her. "You helped me, now I'll help you. Besides if I didn't then I would owe you, and I really don't like owing people anything." she lied. She had to, because if she faced the truth, that she wanted to taste him, wanted to bring him the same pleasure he brought her, she wouldn't be able to hold on to the aloofness she used as her façade. Theo shook his head and closed his eyes, drawing on control he didn't even know he had. "Karen," he ground out" I can't let you do... Oh fuck!" he ended harshly, his hands gripping the armrests of her office chair, making the wood crack under the pressure. Karen had had enough of his talking and she slowly slid her tongue up the monstrous shaft. She was surprised at how soft the skin was and yet, how hard the muscles were. She was also intrigued by how such a simple act could affect the giant man. Smiling to herself, she gently wrapped a hand around the shaft, staring in amazement when her hand couldn't close all the way around it. "You're massive." she whispered in awe as she started a slow steady rhythm with her hand. Theo could only grunt. His mind was swimming between the awed, excited look on her face and the sensation of her small, warm hand on his member. He leaned back into the chair, giving her more access. He stared down at her in awe as her little, pink tongue flicked out, gently swiping over the slit on his head. His breath caught again and he gripped the chair tighter, visible cracks appearing in the armrests. When she gently licked a drop of precum around the head, his ability to think disintegrated and he let out a low moan. Empowered by his reactions, Karen decided to be a little bolder. Slowly, cautiously, she lowered her mouth over the head of his cock. She slid him in and out a few times, relishing his taste. She gently sucked his head while pulling back until he popped out of her mouth with a soft noise. He groaned and his hips jerked towards her, begging for re-entrance. Theo looked down at her under hooded lids, "What are ye thinkin lass?" he asked in a deep heavy voice filled with pleasure. She shivered slightly, as the words rolled over her in a caress. She gently shrugged one shoulder before grinning up at him mischievously. "You'll just have to wait and see." she said breathlessly, before gently blowing on his wet cock. He groaned again, his hips jerking slightly, as she started to lave his cock in long, broad strokes from top to bottom. His control slipped slightly, and he gently removed the clip holding her hair up. He groaned again as long, silky hair fell free from the bun. He slid his hand into the silky locks, loving the feel, and rested his hand, buried in her hair on the top of her head. Karen gasped softly, the grip on her hair sending a bolt of pleasure straight to her core. She was shocked to find that such a dominating gesture turned her on. She shrugged it off, taking solace in the fact that Theo wouldn't know and continued her ministrations, getting his cock nice and slippery. Unfortunately, Theo did know. He scented her arousal the instant he gripped her hair. Groaning loudly, he opened his eyes to watch. The sight before him made his gut clench. She was gorgeous with her hair loose and his cock being attended to. "You're going to be the death of me little one." he ground out and his hips jerked yet again. Karen simply chuckled, the vibrations and fluttery breath running the length of his cock, caused him moan. She took two more licks, swirled his precum around his head, loving the taste. Carefully, she took him back into her mouth, slowly inching him inside. She had gone a few inches when the hand on her hand gently pulled her back. She moaned softly, loving the controlling motion. "What's wrong?" she asked "Did I do something wrong?" "No sweetness, but no one has ever been able to take me all the way in, and I didn't want you to try and hurt yourself. " She smiled softly up at him, before kissing the head, which caused his grip to tighten in her hair. "Trust me." she said breathlessly, excited that she could do something for him that no one else has been able to do. He loosened his grip slightly and relaxed back "With my life." he said without thinking. The comment went straight to her heart, and though she didn't want it too, it started a small crack in the heavy defenses surrounding it. Slowly, she took him back into her mouth, and slid him inch by inch. Theo let out a low groan as she hit the halfway point, his head bumping the back of her throat. "Karen," he warned, his hand tightening in her hair ready to pull her back up, waiting for her to gag. Yet, as she slid more of him in, she didn't gag. Instead she looked up at him and moaned, loving how full her mouth was, imagining what it would feel like other places. He held her gaze, captivated. His hands tightened unconsciously in her hair as she winked at him, before sliding the rest of him down her throat. "Oh. Fuck." he grunted, his hand fisted in her hair. He watched in amazement as his member disappeared inch by inch into her throat. By the time her nose was buried in the hair at the base of his cock, it was taking all of his willpower to not cum right then and there. Luckily, she started the slow reversal, and he watched as his cock reappeared. Once he was completely out, she got up and grabbed his hand, pulling him up with her. She lead him back towards the wall, where she pressed him against it, kissed him and slid back to her knees in front of him. "What?" he asked, confused, but she didn't answer, instead she slid his pants down further, freeing his sack. Looking up at him she smiled seductively as she gently cupped them in her hand and softly rolled them around. "Oh god!" he gasped, leaning his full weight against the wall, "You're killing me!" he grunted as she took him back in her mouth. With one hand on his sack, she took the other one, grabbed his and placed it back on her head and she began a steady bob on his shaft. "Fucking A." he cursed as she forced him back into the controlling position. He tangled his hand in her hair, gently pushing down on her while she bobbed. Karen moaned against him, loving the way it felt to be controlled by him. She continued to let him bob her head while she gently massaged his balls. She slowed what she is doing, letting him be the one to control her mouth, but she could feel his restraint. Suddenly, she needed more. Looking up and meeting his gaze, she pleaded with her eyes. Fuck my face, they screamed. Theo let out a string of curses, any control that he had shattering as he read her plea. Gripping her head in both hands, he began to fuck her mouth, bottoming out with each stroke. Worried, he looked down at her to make sure she was okay. He was met with a look of pure satisfaction and pleasure. He grunted, his brain shutting off, turning him into a mindless machine. He continued to pump until he could feel his balls start to tighten. Slowly, he pulled himself free "I need a second," he panted "I'm too close." Karen smiled up at him wickedly. "Good." she groaned grabbing his hips and sliding him back in to the hilt. He groaned again, as his whole length was engulfed in her mouth. He started counting to 100 to keep himself together, but suddenly there is a new sensation that made his whole body jerk. "Oh fuck!" he called out and he gripped her head with both hands, keeping her buried against him "Karen" he moaned her name as he pushed his hips against her lips as she swallowed around his dick. She started to rhythmically swallow on his member, her throat walls massaging him in a way he'd never felt before. "Oh fuck. Yes, oh god... don't... ungh..." he moaned "God Karen don't stop!" Karen felt his balls tighten against her chin and he gripped her so close she almost couldn't breathe. Moaning she continued to swallow, wanting nothing more than for him to cum. Suddenly, his cock swelled impossibly thick and he let out a loud shout. Thick ropy cum splattered down her throat. She quickly pulled back, wanting to catch some on her tongue and watch as it shot from his tip. Theo just watched in awe as she caught his cum in her mouth, her expression one of pure bliss. He was able to keep it all on her tongue and the last spurt landed on her chin. He stood on shaky legs, as his breath came out in gasps. She gently took his finger and used it to scoop up the last of his cum off her chin. Then, as if it was the finest delicacy in the world, she sucked it off of his finger, swirling her tongue around to make sure she got it all. "Fuck me!" he growled as his cocked stirred again. She smiled up at him as he helped her to her feet "Not yet..." she whispered quietly to herself, but he heard her and groaned again. She stepped close to him and gently cupped his quickly softening cock. "If you tell anyone about what happened today," she paused and gently squeezed "I'll chop it off." she glared at him "Also, you're still in really deep shit for snooping and ruining my very first piece of stained glass." and with that she spun on her heel and left, calling over her shoulder "See you in the car!" Changed Ch. 06 The ride back to the compound was even worse than the ride over to the shop. Karen kept picking at invisible threads on her pants, her mind racing about what had just happened. She groaned softly when she realized that Becca might be home, and would see her ripped jeans. "Do you know if Becca has any plans today?" she quietly asked Theo. "No." he replied curtly. Karen just nodded and turned out the window. She wasn't going to ask him any more questions, but soon another one was burning in her mind. "Can you tell me about werewolves?" she asked "Like what can they do, or what makes them different from humans?" Theo scoffed at her, his frustration through the roof at being confined in such a little space with his woman after they had enjoyed each other. It was the knowledge that he wouldn't be able to do it again with her that was ramping him up. "I don't think now is the time to talk about that." "Well," Karen said coldly, her anger flaring back to life. "I didn't have a choice when you decided to 'learn'," she put finger quotes around the word "about me, while breaking one of my prized possessions in the process." She glared at him "The least you could do is tell me more about yourself." Theo growled and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. He didn't want to tell her anything. He didn't want her to be afraid of what he was, and what he could do. Yet, she did have a very good point. He had looked into her without her permission, maybe this would be the first step to getting out of the crater he had dug himself. "Fine," he sighed "But can it wait until we get back? I really need some coffee and something to eat." Karen simply nodded, part of her was excited to learn more about him and the werewolf community, the other part was nervous, and still a third part was still seething mad at him for what he had done. Theo grunted softly and gave her a sideways look, "I'm sorry I broke the picture frame. I didn't know how important it was to you," Karen simply scoffed and crossed her arms across her chest. "If you hadn't snooped, we wouldn't be in the position, now would we?" Theo simply grunted in return. They arrived back at the duplex in silence. Karen started towards her door when Theo cleared his throat and raised an eyebrow. "Did you not want to talk?" he asked and he unlocked his door. "Oh." Karen said sheepishly following him into his side of the duplex " I thought we would go into my side." "Your side doesn't have my coffee, or enough food to feed me right now." Karen looked at him, curiously. "Enough food?" "Mmhmm," he said "I eat a lot." "Ah." was all she said as she looked around the bachelor pad. There were overstuffed recliners, a huge flat screen tv, and a video game console with an entire wall of games. Theo motioned her into a modern kitchen, where she sat at a breakfast bar, watching him start to prepare his food. "Would you like anything?" he asked as he started to pull meat out of the fridge. Her stomach answered for her, with a loud growl. Theo chuckled as he got a pan ready. "How would you like your steak?" Karen shrugged noncommittally. "Just make it how you'd like it." He looked at her with a bemused expression on his face. "If that's what you really want." She just nodded and picked at an invisible spot on the counter. "So," he started "what would you like to know?" Resting her chin on her hands she studied him. "What are the main differences between you and me in this very moment? You look human, but sparring with Becca proved that there is more to the eye, so. What makes us different? And you better tell me the truth," Theo chuckled and resigned himself to the fact that he couldn't deny the feisty woman in front of him. "To start off, I'm much, much stronger than the normal human male. Also, all of my senses are higher than those of humans. I can see farther and clearer, hear better, smell a whole lot more scents than you can. My taste is probably the same, though touch is much more, meaningful I guess." He peaked are her while he cooked the steak. A soft smile on his lips when he saw she was listening intently. "Also, we regenerate very quickly and rarely scar, though if it is deep enough we will. There is an exception to that rule however, if we are hurt by someone we love, then, no matter how small the wound it will scar, though it will fade away over the years, just as it is in humans." Karen looked at him thoughtfully, "So does silver really hurt you?" That made him burst into laughter, which she was surprised to find incredibly attractive. "I can't tell you that." he said secretively, as he laid a heaping plate of food in front of her "Then you'll know our secret and you might just come kill me in the middle of the night." he wiggled his fingers at her in a spooky gesture which made her laugh. Theo stopped and looked at her, an odd expression on his face. "What?" she said self-consciously as she cut into the massive steak. "That's the first time I've heard you laugh." he said with a small smile and a shrug, his hand unconsciously rubbing at his chest where a weird sensation had seated itself. Karen didn't acknowledge him and she tucked into the steak. It was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Normally her steaks were always overdone, she loved a rare steak, but was always too shy to ask for it because people looked at her weird. "Oh my god!" she said around a mouth full "this is amazing!" Again Theo's eyebrow shot up. "You like it that rare?" he asked surprised. Karen just nodded as she continued to eat. The both ate in silence until Karen was too full to eat any more. She pushed her plate, with a small piece of steak left over to Theo. "Here, I'm stuffed," He smiled at her and quickly finished her steak along with his own. Putting the dishes away, he also started on his coffee. "Is there anything else you'd like to know?" "Do you actually turn into a wolf?" she asked He looked at her for a moment, trying to gauge how much she really wanted to know. "Yes..." he said hesitantly. "Can I see?" she asked without missing a beat. Theo leaned against his counter, crossed his large arms over his broad chest, and stared at her. She stared back expectantly, waiting for an answer. They sat like that for a minute or so before Theo asked, "Why?" "I'm curious." she responded "I've never seen a wolf in person before, nor have I seen a werewolf in their wolf form." Again he stared at her for a few more moments. "First you learn that there are big nasties out there, then you find out that you're only half human, only to later find out that you're' living on a compound of werewolves. Now you want to see one shift? You just learned about us. Aren't you afraid you may be pushing it a little?" Karen gave a small shrug, her features sad and resigned. "My Daddy always said that you had to roll with whatever life gave you. If you ever found yourself in a situation that was confusing, or scary, the more you learned about it, the easier it would be to handle. So often, fear is based on ignorance, and so many people get hurt because of it. I didn't ask to be part of this world, but now that I am, I want to know all that I can." Theo gave her a thoughtful look, his wolf was puffed up in his mind, full of pride. Making up his mind, he slowly started to remove his shirt. "Wait!" she said quickly "What are you doing?!" He chuckled softly, "If I change while wearing clothes I'll ruin them." Karen made a silent 'oh' noise and nodded for him to continue. She let her eyes wander over his exposed chiseled chest, and when he turned to undo his pants, she got a nice look at his back, that was covered in thin bloody lines from her nails. "Shouldn't those have healed?" she asked her face a bright red. Theo looked over his shoulder at her and shrugged "They'll be gone soon," he said noncommittally, not wanting her to know that any mark she made would take a while to heal. He continued undressing, revealing a perfectly sculpted ass and legs. He turned around, male smugness exuding from him, as her eyes instantly went to his flaccid member and she licked her lips. Using all of his control, he kept himself still, and ignored the seductive movement. "Are you sure you wanna see this?" he asked seriously, part of him worried that she would reject him once she saw his second form. Karen nodded and didn't take her eyes off of him. Faster than she could blink, a massive grey wolf stood where the man used to be. She made a small squeak of surprise at the sudden change, but quickly regained control. "Wow." she breathed as she got off her stool and slowly approached him. Theo sat, his head level with her chest, and slowly wagged his tail. She walked up to him and stretched out a hand. Immediately, he pushed his head under her hand and scooched closer. Karen let out a soft laugh as she rubbed the massive wolf's head, and scratched his ear, which earned her a foot thumping. She laughed for real, using both hands, while his foot madly thumped on the ground and his tail wagged uncontrollably. "You're so big!" she said laughing "I could almost ride you like a horse!" Theo chuffed at her and rolled his honey brown eyes at her. Suddenly an odd look came over his face and he shook his head. He got up and slowly backed away from her, continuing to shake his head while a low growl started. Karen stood in shock as she watched him. Seconds later he looked up at her, his honey brown eyes now a light gold. "Theo?" She asked cautiously. The wolf in front of her dipped down like a puppy wanting to play, and wiggled it's butt. Karen couldn't help but laugh, even though deep down she knew she wasn't talking to the Theo she knew. She mimicked the wolf, putting her hands on her thighs and laughed when it yipped and bounced towards her. Before she knew what was happening, the big wolf toppled her over. She landed with a thud and a soft 'oof' as the wind was knocked out of her. The wolf didn't seem to notice though because it was busy sniffing and snuffling all over her. She giggled like mad when it got to her stomach and tickled her. After the big animal was done smelling her, he laid down on top of her, his forearms and head resting on her chest looking up at her. He sighed contentedly, his tail wagging nonstop. They laid like that for a few moments, before parts of Karen started to go numb. "Ya know..." she wheezed out "You're kinda heavy." The wolf let out a soft whine and looked at her with pleading eyes. "Ugh!" she said with mock disgust "A wolf should not be able to use puppy eyes. It's not fair!" she ended in a strained laugh as she rubbed his ears. "Seriously though, it's getting hard to breathe." The wolf huffed and heaved itself off of her, allowing her to take a big breath. He licked her face, causing her to laugh again. As she stood up, he nudged her to the counter. As she leaned against the stone surface, the massive wolf stood up and placed both paws on each side of her. He licked her face again, and then leaned onto her. Karen couldn't stop laughing as she hugged the huge beast back, burying her face in his soft silver fur. Suddenly, the fur was skin. Naked skin, and the warmth pressing against her took on different dimensions, one of which pressed against her belly. She let out a soft squeak at the sudden change again, and loosened her arms from around the waist of the large man in front of her. Slowly, she raised her eyes to meet his, the honey brown depths sucking her in. "Are you okay?" he asked huskily as he stared down at the little female. Mutely she nodded, her hands moving from his sides to rest on his chest. "I'm sorry." he spoke softly "My wolf was so excited for you to see him that he took over." "Your wolf?" she asked just as softly. He simply nodded, swallowing before answering. "We are two parts to a whole. We share the same mind. He is my baser, instinct driven side, while I am the higher functioning side. Many times we are balanced and he is content to sit back and let me drive, so to speak. Other times, he wants to drive, and sometimes he'll take over." His breathing was soft, but uneven as he lowered his head slightly towards hers "I hope..." he inched closer "He didn't..." closer "Scare you..." He paused, his lips hovering over hers, begging her to close the distance. The way she had instantly accepted his wolf was doing crazy things to his mind. All he wanted right then and there was to feel her soft lips on him. Karen's breathing hitched, the warm body pressed against her made it hard to think. "No." she whispered, looking at his lips, and then back to his eyes "I don't think..." her uneven breathing made it hard to get a full sentence out "He could ever..." she ran a hand up his chest to drape over his shoulder "Scare me." She titled her face up, giving him the go ahead, even though she knew it was probably wrong. She should be mad at him, or at least annoyed. He scared her because he touched parts of her soul she never knew existed. She should run, screaming for the hills, but she couldn't help the pull she felt every time she was around him. He growled softly, the words sinking deep into his heart, and he kissed her. The kiss was full of passion, Theo trying to pour all of the feelings he couldn't tell her into it. He quickly lifted her so she sat on the counter, her legs wrapping around him insticutaly. They both groaned as the new position lined up their hips, and his hard member pressed into her warmth. The kiss lasted forever, stealing more from Karen than just her breath. She moaned softly, pressing into to him, letting his warmth envelope her as their hands ran over each other, pulling them closer together. A few minutes later and the kiss ended, both parties panting, and filled with need. Theo stepped back, not wanting to push her too far, again. As she caught her breath, Karen desperately tried to find something to break the silence that the mind blowing kiss left. Embarrassed at how easily and quickly she responded to him. "Does he have a name?" she blurted out, and she hastily scrambled down from the counter and moving to the other side, while he pulled his pants on. "Who?" he asked, confused by the sudden question. "Your wolf." she said taking a deep breath, finally gaining some normalcy back in her breathing. Theo looked at her curiously while he went to grab his cup of coffee, "No, wolves don't have names, they are known by their scent and rank." Karen nodded and then smiled. "I'm going to call him Cuddles." Theo sputtered indignantly as he swallowed a sip of coffee "What? No. You can't call him 'Cuddles'." "Why not?" she asked innocently. Again he sputtered "Because! It's... he's the next in line to be Alpha... Like a crown prince. He's the strongest, fastest..." "Cutest, fluffiest, sweetest one," she cut him off, "and he seems to like cuddles. His name is Cuddles. So there." she stuck her tongue out at him. Theo growled, but Karen just shrugged it off. "Finish your coffee," she said hesitantly, her uncertainty at the whole situation finally getting to her. "I'm going to head to my side, see if Becca's home." Theo nodded, not trusting himself to speak, in case he begged her to stay. ******* The next few days were uneventful, Karen had spoken with Becca, and with her approval, they turned the unused office into a mini studio for Karen to work in when Theo couldn't take her into the shop. While she didn't quite understand his role in the pack, she did know that he was always busy, not that she was keeping tabs on him or anything. Every time she thought about him, her stomach felt weird, and she would get goose bumps. It also didn't help that her panties got soaked as well. She just didn't understand what her feelings were. Ever since Josh had placed that mark on her, she had been almost out of control. She would swing from happy to angry, from frosty to horny. This was just getting ridiculous. Sighing in frustration, Karen set down the piece of glass she was working with and headed downstairs. In the Kitchen she bumped into Becca who had just gotten home from a long shift. "Hey!" She called "Wanna go to the gym?!" Becca looked up from her cup of tea with a grin "What? Are you tired of your easy life? Need a good beating?" she laughed as she set the mug down "Oh Please!" Karen scoffed "I do need a good beating... beating you!" Both women laughed, their banter was how they showed they cared for each other. "Sure," said Becca, "let me just change and we'll head over" Theo stiffened, mid punch, on the punching bag as her scent washed over him. He turned and watched as she and Becca walked through the gym towards the sparring mat, her head tossed back in laughter at something Becca had said. His loin tightened and he struggled to resist the urge to jump her right there. The past few days had been hell on him. Every night she got herself off, though it wasn't as frenzied as when she went through her first trial, so he knew she was just doing it for pleasure. Did she think about him as she reached her climax? His cock hardened even further. It also didn't help that he knew buried under all of her plain, ratty clothes, there were silken treasures. Groaning quietly to himself, he made his way over to the mat to watch them spar. He was amazed at the grace and fluidity that Karen used while fighting. Both women were fighting at top percent, and it was simply beautiful to watch. It was also incredibly impressive that the tiny female could keep up with a highly trained wolf who outmatched her in size, speed, and strength. As he watched, he noticed a slight glow starting to emanate from her tattoo. Grinning like a mad man, he chuckled when Karen stopped the fight, panting slightly. "I gotta take a moment. I'm getting worked up." She said sheepishly "I don't want an incident here at the gym." Becca laughed and grabbed their water bottles "Yeah," she took a swig from hers before handing Karen her own. "That would be awful." she looked at her thoughtfully for a second. "I thought your shit went crazy due to emotions. Is it affected by strenuous activity too?" Karen chuckled and wiped her forehead on a small towel. "Not that I know of. I think it's starting to act up cause I was having so much fun. I guess any kind of emotion can set it off," she heaved another sigh. "I hope this shit evens out eventually, I'm going insane!" Becca simply chuckled at her and shook her head. "I believe it. Take your time cooling off, I'm going to go to the little girls' room. Then we can pick up at the part where I kick you ass," Karen burst into laughter as Becca walked off. She turned back to her bag and ran straight into the broad chest that haunted her dreams. Her breath caught and she felt her tattoo give a giant pulse. Bracing herself she slowly raised her eyes to meet his. He gave her a wolfish smile before leaning down to whisper in her ear "Not bad for a human, Lass." he said huskily. Scoffing, Karen pushed him to the side "Gee, thanks." she said sarcastically as she went to the bench with her stuff on it. Theo walked up behind her, and wrapped his arms around her small waist pulling her against him. He leaned down again to whisper in her right ear, causing her to stiffen instantly. "You're welcome kitten." he growled, his breath hitting her mark causing her to stifle a moan. "Oh yeah," he said in an innocent tone "I forgot how sensitive your mark is little one." As he spoke, Karen unconsciously leaned her head to the left, giving him more access to her neck as her breath hitched. He quickly spun her around, holding her close to his body as she moaned and molded herself to him. He growled his approval before leaning down and licking her mark, causing her to gasp and moan louder, her hips rolling into his. Changed Ch. 06 Becca cleared her throat "Dude..." said a male voice from the same direction. Instantly the spell was broken, and Karen shoved away from Theo, her face a bright red. Theo groaned and glared at the two people who had interrupted.Becca and Cody stood there, one with a glare and the other trying to hide a knowing smile. "Really, Theo?" Becca admonished. Cody simple chuckled and shook his head "Dude." he said again. Theo simply shrugged his shoulders and gave Karen another wolfish smile. "What can I say? She brings out the beast in me." he winked at her, for a second his eyes turning the pale gold of his wolf, which made Karen giggle before she could help herself. She shut the giggles down quickly and plastered back on an angry look and moved to stand besides Becca. Theo chuckled and held up his hands. "I yield. I yield." he said turning and walking away. "Well that was mortifying," Karen said, her face a deep red Becca chuckled and hugged her, before turning to her brother. "I'm sure this would have been better under different circumstances," she said before holding her hand out towards him. "But I ran into Cody, and realized you to have never met before." Karen shook her head, covered her face and then smiled, holding her hand out to shake Cody's "It's nice to finally meet you. I'm sorry that you had to witness such Neanderthal behavior. I'm not one for public displays of affection." Cody laughed in a good natured way, shaking the little female's proffered hand "Don't even worry about it. Wolves have a tendency to be pretty open about things like that. In fact, that was really tame compared to what happens around where when the moon turns full." Karen looked shocked "So the moon thing is real?" she asked excitedly. Both Cody and Becca laughed. "Not in the way you're thinking." Cody start to explain "Many of the females go into heat around the full moon so the mated couples try to get pregnant. They don't care where they are, most of the time it's right out in the open, multiple times a day. The non-mated wolves are subjected to this, which of course stirs their blood, so everyone starts to go at it. It's definitely interesting." Becca finished. They chatted for a while, before Becca and Karen decided to go home. Saying goodbye to Cody, Karen's mind immediately went to what she was going to do as pay back. Changed Ch. 07 That night, Theo lay in bed listening to Karen please herself yet again. She was so into it, he couldn't help but wrap his hand around his throbbing member and start stroking himself in time with her moans. His orgasm built quickly and he came with a grunt and a curse, when he heard her cum with his name on her lips. Karen smiled a satisfied smile to herself, he wasn't the only one who could hear through the walls. She stretched and then got up to lay her clothes out for the day. As she rummaged through her panty drawer, an idea popped into her head. As she pulled out a purple satin bra and boy short set, a plan formed. Running down to Becca's room, she burst in, only to find a tawny colored wolf laying on the bed with a ratty, stuffed animal that squeaked, in its mouth. Karen stared in shock for a second before bursting out into laughter "Oh my god!" she cackled and the wolf shifted into Becca. Karen bent over and grabbed her sides and she continued to laugh. "Oh God. Becca!" "I'm going to kill you!" Becca cried as she threw the stuffed animal at her doubled over friend.It squeaked on impact which made Karen laugh harder "Get out!" Karen tried to calm her laughter, "I'm sorry," she snickered "I should have knocked." Becca huffed and wrapped herself in a bathrobe "What do you want?" she asked sullenly. Karen finally was able to calm her laughter "Seriously, I'm sorry Bec. I won't tell anyone. I promise. I was just excited because I have an idea for payback on Theo for his shit at the gym today." Becca glared at her, but her curiosity was too great and she smiled. "Okay, what's the plan?" Karen whispered it in her ear and they both giggled like school children. The next day, a gently knock on his front door woke Theo up from a deep sleep. Groaning he got out of bed and made his way downstairs. Halfway down, he saw a small piece of paper slip under his door. "What the...?" he said quietly as he descended the rest of the stairs. He stooped down and snatched up the small piece of paper. On one side, in delicate a hand, was two words: Purple, Satin. "Purple?" he whispered to himself as he looked at the door. He yanked it open, but no one was there. He looked around and spotted a figure walking towards the main hall. He'd recognize that walk anywhere. Immediately, his mind went to it's daily question of what type of lingerie she was wearing. The answer hit him like a ton of bricks as he looked down at the piece of paper again. "Oh my god." he groaned as he stared at the neat script, his body jerking to life. She was wearing purple satin lingerie today. That knowledge kept him preoccupied all day, through his shower, breakfast, and various meetings, all he could think about was her delectable body clad in purple satin. Finally, he decided to go to the gym to try and work out his pent up frustration. Once at the gym he threw himself into a demanding routine. He barely noticed when a short, slender, theta cleared his throat to get his attention. Theo stopped, and turned towards the man who looked a little sick. "Are you okay?" Theo asked, his protective nature flaring to life. "Sir," the theta said "I was directed to give this to you. I was heavily warned not to look at it, so I didn't." He swallowed. "I know that the rules are to open any suspicious mail before giving it to one of the pack leaders, but I was threaten life and limb. Please don't be mad." he held out his shaking hand that held a small, white envelope. "You are not in trouble." Theo said calmly taking the envelope and placing a hand on the theta's shoulder "Can you tell me who threatened you?" The theta nodded before answering "The human female. I have no doubt that she could cause great harm. Everyone knows that she is on par with Beta Becca." Theo growled softly, making the theta before him quiver and bare his neck. Shaking his head Theo gently squeezed the man's shoulder "Do not fret. It is her that I am mad at. Not you. Be at peace. Thank you for bringing this to me." The theta nodded and rushed off leaving Theo seething. He knew that she didn't know pack law or behavior, but to threaten a poor theta, it was unacceptable. He glared at the envelope. Hesitantly he opened it and pulled out a single small piece of paper. On it was a picture of Karen, striking a seductive pose in her purple, satin lingerie. Theo felt like he had been kicked in the gut, his member immediately going rock hard. He gently tucked the picture away and stalked out of the gym. I'm going to kill her. He growled to himself, both he and his wolf torn between anger and lust. No. I'm going to teach her a lesson. His wolf sent him steamy images of what those lessons could be Yep. I'm going to teach her a lesson, and then I'm going to fuck her brains out, then I might kill her. His wolf chuffed in agreement. Karen walked the woods wondering if he had gotten her picture yet. She felt kind of bad after telling the young man that she'd chop off his arm and make him eat it if he looked. He looked so scared. Couldn't he tell she was joking? Lost in thought, she didn't notice someone creeping up behind her. Theo used all of his training to track and stalk her silently. He got closer and closer until he was finally able to lean down and whisper in her ear as she walked. "You're in trouble, Missy." Without a second thought, Karen stepped back into the person behind her, bringing her head back making contact. Spinning around, she grabbed an arm, using her momentum to bring the attacker up and over, slamming them into the ground. She followed him down, a knee on his throat and a knife at his armpit. Theo was in shock. No one had taken him down like that in a very, very long time. He looked up at the beautiful, wild woman on top of him. "Karen." He said softly, realizing that her eyes were a shade darker than normal and void of all life. This was not the same Karen he had come to know these past few weeks. Instead this was a deadly warrior, trained to protect herself at all costs. She didn't seem to register the name and dug deeper into his neck with her knee "What do you want?" she growled, not noticing who it was under her knee from the dapple shadows on the ground. Theo grunted softly and did something he never thought he would do to a female, much less a small, human one. Slowly, he raised his chin and turned his head, baring his neck in submission. "Sweetness..." he croaked under the pressure of her knee. Karen blinked a few times, and his face finally registered in her head, as it caught the light. "Oh my god!" she cried as she flung herself off of him, the knife disappearing back where it came from. She quickly scuttled backwards until she hit a tree, and she scrambled to her feet. Theo sighed, rubbing his neck while he propped himself up with his other hand. He chuckled quietly and he looked at the now terrified woman plastered against a tree. "Mental note," he said roughly "Don't sneak up on Karen." "I'm sorry!" she blurted skirting around the tree slightly "I'm so, so sorry!" Theo moved to get up, and go comfort her, but in a flash she took off down the path at a surprising speed. Groaning, Theo let himself fall back to the ground. "Well," he said to no one in particular "that was interesting." His wolf chuffed back, just as stunned as he was. Then he wagged his tail and spread out his front feet in a playful manner, sending a steamy image of Theo and Karen sparring naked. The man groaned and laughed "Yeah, it would have been hot if she didn't have a knife at my heart." The wolf gave him the equivalent of a shrug and smiled lopsidedly, his tongue hanging out, reminding him that they loved danger and a challenge. The simply groaned again and shook his head as he got up. Taking his time he made his way back to the duplex. He quietly crept across the porch and entered his side. He didn't want her to know that he was home and right next to her. Once inside he made his way to his bedroom to wait and see if she would leave again. Karen ran all the way back to the house, only stopping when the door was shut behind her. Gasping in great gulping breaths she slid down against the door to the floor. She could have killed him. The thought shook her to her core. At least your training is still up to par a small voice in the back of her mind said. Karen let out a deep sigh. That was a really true point, she hadn't been training on her defensive skills, only her sparring with Becca. It was nice to know that all of those many years of training were still imbedded in her, but still... After a few minutes sitting on the floor, she got up and made herself a cup of tea. God what she wouldn't give to talk to Josh, tentatively, she called out with her mind. Josh? She thought, I could really use you right now A warmth slowly spread throughout her body. "Hey there sugar cube." drawled a familiar voice. Looking up, Karen let out a small cry of joy and flung herself at her best friend. He hugged her tight, and she could feel all the little pieces of her broken life start to mend. "I've missed you so much!" she sobbed, the tears flowing uncontrollably "I've missed you to Karebear." he responded in a shaky voice. They simply held each other for a while, reaffirming their bond. Finally Josh gently untangled himself from her and stepped away. "We have a lot of talking to do." he said simply. Karen chuckled and nodded leading him to the sofa in the living room. They sat down and Karen snuggled into him. "First," he started with a touch of amusement in his voice "I see your tattoo has grown." Karen mocked him silently before slapping his chest. "Yeah, way to warn me about how AWFUL it is when it grows. Jesus." Josh simply laughed and shook his head. "I didn't have the time to warn you in detail. I'm sorry. How have you been getting by?" Karen blushed a deep red and her eyes darted to the wall that was shared with Theo's side. "The werewolf huh?" Josh said thoughtfully. "I approve." Karen giggled a little and shook her head "You approve?" she asked "The last time you saw him you were screaming at him!" "Yes." Josh said "I've been watching from Elsond. He has a good heart, and cares about you." He wiggled his eyebrows at her, "Plus, he has a mighty fine ass, but don't tell John." Karen laughed out loud, and the winked at him "You should see the rest of him." The both giggled and Karen sighed a happy sigh. "I've needed this." she said. "Yeah," he nodded "But I do have some important things to talk to you about." "Like what?" "When I was young, my mother and your mother were very close friends. When she met your dad and convinced him to mate with her, she asked my mother to have me be your guardian. My mother was part of a council that has long been disbanded, but because you were going to be the last of your kind, you were to be protected so she agreed and I was bonded to you. That's how I always knew you were in trouble." He chuckled softly at some of the memories. Karen joined him " That makes sense. You were always there. Like that time in the pond, or when I was rock climbing? That also explains how you knew Theo was in my shop." Josh nodded "Yep." "Why did my race basically go extinct though?" "Many races prized the spyrim due to the fact that any male child born would be a full blooded version of the father, while any female born would be full spyrim. Unfortunately, the creatures that would want that are horrid, evil creatures. Some spyrim died in childbirth with the full blooded child being too large to carry to term. Many others killed the mother when the child was born, thought the child also soon perished because there is a special bond between mother and babe and without the mother, there is no babe. The remainder were killed for refusing to mate, or refusing to force other people to mate with those creatures." "So they died for nothing?" Karen whispered bitterly "Yes..." he paused "However, there was one way to break the cycle. Mating with a human always produced different results that what was normal. If a creature who couldn't have children mated with a human, often times, any child born would be half. Now this normally resulted in the death of the babe because some creatures just can't handle being half of something. Your mom gave it a shot. She had been captured by vampires, but in a stroke of luck, she was able to escape. She ran to the first house that had a light on. It was your dads. She begged him for sanctuary, which, being the good man he was, he gave." Josh gently started to stroke her hair. "Eventually she explained everything to him and asked him to help her with breaking the cycle. He agreed, and you were convinced. What he didn't know was how badly hurt your mother was at the hands of the vampires. She knew that giving birth to you would likely kill her, but she did it anyways. Through willpower alone, she stayed alive, barely, until you were one and the crucial bond was severed. She passed the morning of your birthday. Which is also the day I showed up to take guardianship of you. Me and my mother moved in next door and thus began our friendship." he smiled down at her. They sat in silence for a while, Karen simply letting it all sink in. "You told me some of this at the hospital." "Yup! I sure did." he nodded " What I didn't tell you was why the night fairies attacked." He sighed. "I should have never called you to come out. That was my fight and for that I'm sorry." Karen shook her head no. "I will always come to help you!" she said vehemently. Josh just smiled down at her "I know. Anyways, the night fairies had been trailing me for years, somehow, the same vamps that had captured your mother found out about you. They were trying to get to you so that they could try again, even if you are just half. I went to your pa's grave, hoping to get them out in the open where I could take them on. I was expecting two. They always travel in pairs, but never more than two. I wasn't expecting four of them. They got the upper hand and I had no choice to call for you. I couldn't let you suffer through what you would conceive as my death. I'm so sorry for putting you in danger chickadee." Karen looked up at him, hearing the waiver in his voice "Hey now..." she said softly as she wiped the single tear from his cheek "I kicked ass didn't I?" Josh chuckled and hugged her close "Your daddy would have be so proud of you!" Karen smiled and snuggled back into him "I know." They sat in silence a little more before Josh sighed heavily. "I do have some more news for you." "What?" she asked warily "First, I am no longer your guardian. That role has been passed on." "Who?" she exclaimed. Josh simply stared at her, trying to suppress a grin. "Are you serious?!" she shrieked and he smiled "No! Not uh! I refuse." she shook her head vehemently and crossing her arms over her chest Josh simply chuckled and continued on. "The next is that your tattoo is a huge weakness, you'll have to train to overcome it, but I don't know how it cripples you, so you'll have to figure it out." Karen blushed but nodded. She knew how it crippled her, she would have to talk to Becca to figure something out. "Lastly, and the one bit of good news I have, your mother wrote a journal explaining everything, and also tells you about her life. She was the keeper of knowledge for the Spyrim race. Her journal and several other books should still be there. I have the coordinates to give you. I suggest you and your new guardian leave immediately." Karen scoffed. "I can go on my own." Before grumbling to herself something about 'stupid guardian.' She got up and grabbed a pen and paper handing them to him to write them down. Looking at the numbers on the paper, she scowled. "Where is this?" she asked. "Theo will know." Josh said in a lightly teasing voice and she rolled her eyes. "You know what they say karebear, if you roll your eyes too much, they're gonna get stuck like that." Karen shrugged with a smile, then sighed, "I do have one questions for you." "Shoot," "Will my emotions even out again? One minute I'm happy, the next I'm pissed, then the next minute after that I'm a panting, wanton whore," She ended bitterly. "Soon," he said with a small smile. "Once the mark has fully grown, your trials will be over, and everything should even back out. Plus, you're not a whore. My word, your daddy would be madder than a mule chewin' bumblebees," Karen laughed and again snuggled back into him, his words making her feel all better. "When do you have to go?" "Soon." he said stroking her hair "I've already used too much of your energy, the trial you will face for this use of power will be really hard. I'm sorry." Karen shrugged, "This was worth it." They sat like that for a more minutes, until josh finally got up. He hugged her tight and kissed her forehead. "If you need me I will always be here." Karen simply nodded, not trusting herself to speak, and just like that, he was gone. ***** Theo sat on the other side of the wall, staring at it, trying to bore a hole in it to see who Karen was talking to. All he heard was muffled voices, and he knew one of them was male. What he didn't know was how he got into the apartment. Growling softly, he got up and went to the door to go see what was going on when he heard the shower turn on. Sighing, he knew that Karen wouldn't be able to hear the door in the shower and settled back down to wait. Moments later, he heard a low wail, followed by his name. He froze, he couldn't tell if he was hearing things or not over the sound of the shower so he ran upstairs to where his apartment encroached slightly into theirs. This time, he clearly heard his name as Karen screamed again. He jumped down the stairs and tore out of his apartment and raced into hers. "Karen?!" he cried, his fear evident "Theo!" she cried from the bathroom "Please!" Her voice was frantic, but there was an underlying need that stirred him. "Oh god." He whispered as he took the stairs three at a time. He busted into the bathroom and both his feet and his heart stopped cold. There she was, leaning against the wall of the shower, water cascading down her naked body and her fingers worked furiously at her clit. As he watched the tattoo moved down from her breast to her hips and started down her leg. "Oh shit." he muttered, just loud enough for her to hear. Her eyes snapped open and he was pierced by her glowing blue gaze. "Please..." She begged "Nothing is helping," She threw her head back and moaned loudly as she came on her fingers. She looked back at him "Please!" She begged "I need you!" Theo swallowed the lump in his throat. "Karen," he said stepping forward "I can't stop. Not this time. Not after the past few days. I can't..." he groaned as she came again "I can't be gentle. This is how your first time should be." "Please Theo!" she begged "Cumming isn't helping, I need more, I need you. I don't care if it's not gentle..." her voice broke into a sob and a moan as she came yet again, her body continually shaking. Theo moved to stand in the shower, fully clothed, inches away from his woman. Trying to search her face for an answer. "Please Theo." she begged again, grabbing his soaked shirt and pulling him too her moaning as his body touched hers "I need you. Theo." He growled, his eyes flashing gold "Say that again sweetest." Karen moaned loudly, pressing herself against the wall of man in front of her "Theo," She gazed at his glowing golden eyes "I need you." His control snapped and he growled, easily scooping her up and taking her to her bedroom. "I can't be gentle." he growled as he flung her onto the mattress. Changed Ch. 07 "Good." she moaned as she arched against the bed, begging with her body. Theo quickly peeled his soaking wet clothes off and with the last bit of higher thinking he sent a quick thought to Becca, filled with an alpha command. Don't come home tonight He was naked in seconds, his large member standing proudly, throbbing and already dripping precum. Karen moaned wantonly and spread her legs for him. "Take me." she begged. In an instant, he was one her. He kissed her harshly, loving the way she molded her body to his. He kissed down her neck, laving her mark with his tongue. She came again in seconds and convulsed underneath him. Slowly he began to slide his member through her soaking folds. "My god." he moaned "You're so wet." He positioned himself at the entrance, and with his last bit of control and sanity, he gently cupped her cheek. "This will hurt," he ground out, shaking from the effort "But I promise it will get better. I swear." Karen look up at him with utter trust and need, shattering his control. Growling deeply, he slammed himself in to the hilt in one thrust, breaking through her thin veil. Karen shrieked, her back arching far off the bed. Theo wrapped an arm around her, holding her close and he remained still, letting her tiny body stretch and accommodate his large one. "So full." she moaned as she clung to him and stared into his glowing gold eyes. Tentatively she moved her hips and moaned loudly "Oh that feels good." "Fuck." He ground out "Karen," he grasped her hips in a bruising grip, holding her against him "You're so tight, I don't want to lose control and hurt you. You have to let me lead, or I'll snap." He was panting with the effort to keep her still. "Yes." Karen nodded" Please, let lose, pound me, claim me, make me yours." Her words snapped his control anyways and his gaze went from light gold to glowing as he growled. Slowly he pulled all the way out, before slamming all the way back in. After a few powerful thrusts, he built up to a steady, fast, punishing pace. Pounding into the little woman below him. Within seconds, she shattered around him and he had to hold himself still while her walls milked him, counting down from 100 to keep from losing himself. Once her tight sheath stopped pulling on him, he resumed his punishing pace. He continued this routine while she came again and again and again. Without warning, he felt himself rushing towards the edge. "I'm getting close." he ground out as he continued to pound into the little beauty beneath him. All she could do was moan and arch off the bed into him. He moved one of his hands off of her hips and gently cupped her cheek as his thrust grew hard and short. He stared into her glowing blue eyes as he was shoved off the cliff into bliss. Karen arched off the bed, her mouth open in a silent scream as his warm, thick jets of cum splashed her insides. The sensation of him cumming, along with the look of utter pleasure on his face, threw her over the edge as well and she shattered around him. "Fuck!" Theo called as he felt her walls start to contract around it. It was the most intense feeling he'd ever felt, and it prolonged his orgasm to match hers. Finally, they were both spent, and Theo collapsed onto the bed, pulling her on top of him. He was so exhausted that he didn't even bother to pull out, leaving his still semi- erect member in her warmth. Karen snuggled into him, quickly falling to sleep. The pain had subsided some, though it wasn't completely gone, and she knew, that it would come back full force, but for now she rested. Changed Ch. 08 Theo groaned softly, climbing out through the layers of sleep with each gentle thrust from the tiny woman sitting astride him. Blearily, he opened his eyes, and watched as Karen gently rode him, her head thrown back, eyes closed in pleasure. Gently, he ran a hand up her thigh and grasped her waist, following her motions. Slowly, she looked down at him, eyes burning bright blue again as the mark began to move down her hip. "I'm sorry I woke you, but the pain came back, and you were already inside." she moaned softly "God, It feels so good like this. It's a completely new sensation." she moaned breathlessly as she ran a hand up her own chest to fondle one of her breasts. Theo growled appreciately at the show he was being given. He'd never let a female on top before, always wanting to be in control, but seeing her blissful face changed his mind. He ran his other hand up her side to cup her other breast making her moan, and her pussy to flutter around him. He groaned again, thrusting his hips up slightly. "Oh yes!" she breathed as she slowly increased her pace. Theo gripped her waist harder, and began to help her move. He lightly traced over the tattoo that had just made it under his fingertips. Slowly, almost gently, she shattered around him with a moan. "God Karen," he groaned "this is so sexy." Karen released the breast she was fondling and leaned forward, bracing both hands against his chest. "Uh...UH... uh." she panted as she slowly rode him with the new angle. She looked down at him with pleading eyes. "More, please." she begged. Theo gave her a lopsided grin before grabbing both hims in his hands and physically moving her up and down his shaft at a faster, harder tempo. "Yes!" she cried with each thrust, throwing her head back. Needing more traction, Theo sat up and scooted to the edge of the bed and Karen clung to him. Once his feet were on the floor, he grabbed her ass, squeezing the firm globes in his hands. Then with his better grip and position, he began to bounce her on his cock. Karen lost the ability to talk, moaning constantly as his member hit new places inside her. She leaned forward resting her head on his shoulder as he pounded into her. "Oh Theo." she moaned in his ear as she began to kiss his neck "You make me feel so good." Theo groaned and pounded into her faster, his cock twitching with each kiss on his neck. soon she was moaning louder, her kisses growing frantic "I'm close." she breathed "Yes!" he hissed. "Come for me sweets." It only took a few more strokes before she shattered around him. "Bite me." he said as he felt his balls tighten. Without hesitating, Karen big down on the fleshy part of his shoulder. "Oh fuck." he cursed as he immediately started to cum with her. Again the feeling was indescribable and he lost himself in the feeling of his cock pumping into her clamping walls. After what seemed like forever, they were spent yet again. Karen going limp on his lap. He chuckled softly, and laid her in bed. He then went downstairs to grab them both water. He had a feeling they were in for a long night. While she slept, he also took out some of Becca's frozen meat and started to defrost it. As he was washing his hands, a soft voice floated down the stairs. "Theo?" she called. Immediately, Theo bounded up the stairs to her bedroom. He groaned and his cock hardened instantaneously. Karen was laying on the bed, one hand playing with her breast, the other working furiously at her clit. Theo approached slowly, devouring her with his eyes. He hooked his arms under her bent knees and drug her across the bed until her ass just barely hung off the side. "Oh yes." she moaned "Fuck me." Theo chuckled darkly, and he gave her a wolfish grin. "Soon." he said softly before capturing her mouth in a scorching kiss. Then he moved to her right side, trailing kisses down the swirling tattoo. Karen was lost in the sensation as his tongue traced the pattern down her shoulder, to her breasts, to her side, hip thigh, where it ended at her knew. She gazed at him through hooded eyes, as her finger still worked on her clit. "What are you doing?" she asked, the first coherent thought she had when he got down on his knees in front of her. Gently he took her hand and moved it away from herself. "I'm hungry." he growled before slowly licking her slit from bottom to top. Karen cried out at the new sensation. She had, of course, known that this was something that a lot of people did, but she had never even thought of what it might feel like. Instantly, her fingers threaded through his short, holding him close as he continued to lick her slit. "That feels so good." she moaned, rolling her hips against his face as his tongue finally slipped through her folds. Theo almost didn't hear her, as he lapped up her juices. They were the sweetest nectar he had ever had and he couldn't get enough. He stuck his tongue as far as he could inside, allowing some of his wolf through to elongate and roughen his tongue slightly. He used his tongue in the same fashion as his member, thrusting it in and out in time with her moans and hip thrusts. "Yes, Yes!" she cried, her hands tightening in his scalp and her back arching. Theo withdrew his tongue, replacing it with two fingers. He grunted at the feel of her tight sheath as it gripped his fingers. Curling them upwards, he hit the special spot and Karen screamed. he could tell she was teetering on the edge of a massive orgasm, so he quickly turned his attention to her clit, lapping at it for all his worth. Karen arched completely off the bed, her mouth open in a silent scream. Then is seemed like time stood still, before she shattered into a million pieces against him. Theo groaned, and quickly drank up the rush of fluid that came from his woman. He kept her orgasm going for as long as possible with gentle thrusts of his fingers. Finally, as she flopped back down on the bed, he withdrew, licking her juices from his mouth and fingers. Karen could only stare at him, dazed from the massive amounts of pleasure he had just given her. Her eyes drooped slightly, but quickly shot open, as he slowly entered her with his member. "You aren't done yet are you?" he asked huskily and he slowly thrust into her, loving the way her hips automatically matched him thrust for thrust. "No." she moaned as she met his hips with hers. "Good" he growled, withdrawing from her and flipping her onto her stomach. He grabbed her hips and pulled her up until she was on all fours. Naturally, she arched her back, presenting herself to him. "This is new." she panted as she looked over her shoulder. "Mmmmm." Theo said as he caressed her upturned ass "This is my favorite." "Why...Oooooh!" she said as he slid his massive cock back inside. He took it slow, knowing that he would be able to reach deepest in this position. As he entered, inch by inch, Karen's breath hitched. "Fuck!" she groaned as he finally bottomed out, the tip of his cock pushing against her cervix. Her mouth hung open as she shuddered from the feeling. "So full." She moaned, gently placing a hand on her abdomen. "Fuck I'm so full." Theo just grunted in response, as her tight walls gently massaged him. "Are you ready for more?" he asked, his hands grasping her hips. "Yes." she groaned, as she arched her back more for him Theo slowly withdrew, loving the disappointed moan she let out. He set a slow steady pace, his tip brushing against the entrance to her womb with each thrust. Karen panted as each time she was filled to bursting and then left empty. Her hands fisted the sheets as she started to press back against him. "More." she begged, flinging her head back. Theo growled, deep in his chest as he fought his wolf. The wolf wanted to come out and claim their mate right then and now, but Theo knew that she would have no idea what was happening. It would be the quickest way to lose her. Consenting, the wolf huffed and let Theo start a punishing pace. Karen's moans were barely heard of the smacking of their bodies, but grew in pitch as she got closer to the edge. Feeling her walls start to tighten on his cock, Theo slipped a hand around her waist and quickly began to strum her clit. "Oh God!" she cried as she began to shudder "What are you doing to me?" Theo grunted "I'm lovin you lass." he said quietly as he increased the tempo even more. "Yesyesyesyesyesyes!" Karen screamed as her orgasm approached. "That's it baby," he groaned, feeling his balls tighten "Fly for me." Karen let out a shrill wail as her orgasm hit her, juices squirting out around the massive member buried inside of her. "Fuck yes!" Theo moaned as his release followed hers and he pumped her full of cum. Each one of this thick, warm spurts caused it own mini orgasm, and soon they were building on top of one another. Karen's eyes rolled back in her head, positive that she was going to die from pleasure. She collapsed, her body continuing to spasm with mini orgasms and aftershocks. Theo braced himself on either side of her crumpled body, gasping for breath. A few moments later, he stood back up, his softening member sliding out of her with a rush of liquid from their combined pleasure. Gently, he reached down and scooped Karen up, moving her to the dry side of the bed to sleep. As he laid her down, he admired her beauty, his eyes following the flowing, swirling, now fully formed tattoo, that ran from her ear down to her toes. As he stared at her, he absently rubbed his chest, where a weird, heavy warmth had settled. "You love her." a soft feminine voice said. Theo sighed and smiled, turning towards the glowing apparition of Karen's spyrim half. "Yeah," he said quietly "I do." "It is a good thing," she said "Deep down she loves you too, though it will take a while for her to see it. Luckily, I already see it and like your wolf, I have chosen you to be her bondmate. You have proven yourself worthy of her." she approached slowly, and wrapped her hand around his left wrist, smiling gently up at him. "Brace yourself." she said right before he was hit with an incredible sensation of pleasure and pain. It shot straight to his core, turning it into molten need. His cock instantly sprang to life. "Oh Fuck." He gritted through his teeth as he doubled over. "This is just a small fraction of what she felt over her whole body. Now you see why she needed you so bad." Theo was sure that he was going to break his teeth, he was clenching his jaw so bad. Finally, he could fight it no longer, and his hand wrapped around his throbbing cock. It only took a few strokes to bring him to a powerful orgasm that shot out like a bullet. Once his orgasm stopped, so did the painful pleasure and the spyrim let his wrist go. He looked down and saw a tattoo that matched Karens swirling around his wrist. There was a thin, blue line that traveled up his arm, and looked at the apparition with a questioning look. "You have been marked as her bondmate. Your mark matches hers, though is much less elaborate. that line goes to a ring around your neck. You can see it now because I have chosen to let you see it. It will disappear once I leave. However, when you finally mate each other, it will become visible again. A word of warning however. Should she use her powers on you, you will be effected quickly and powerfully and that will also make your tattoo appear. Your tattoo will also be highly sensitive, just like hers, though unlike hers, yours will only be sensitive to her. She will also bear a new mark when you mate, the same ring around the neck and left wrist, but without the connecting line." Theo nodded, feeling hopeful and happy that he had been chosen to be her mate. "Rest now," the ghostly being said "She will need nourishment and care in the morning, for you have fully formed her tattoo, and it is time now that I go and meet her." Theo nodded, his eyes already getting heavy, and climbed into bed with his woman, holding her tight. Karen woke up to a pitch dark room. groaning, she rubbed her eyes and tried to understand why it was so dark. looking around, she finally spotted a light that seemed to approach her. "Hello Karen," A familiar voice spoke to her out of the gloom. Karen squinted at the light, trying to force it into focus "Hello." she said hesitantly, gasping when the light finally focused, and took the form of a beautiful woman, fully covered in glowing blue tattoos. "I am your other half." the woman, who now looked just like her said "Your tattoo has finally finished forming, it is time to join both halves into a whole." "Wait," Karen said "I don't understand." she shook her head "What do you mean other half?" "When you were born," her ghost self said "I was sequestered away, deep in your mind. This was done as a way to protect you, and let you grown up "normal" in the society that you were raised. As you got older, I grew closer and closer to your consciousness. Once you're mark was initiated, I was free of my bonds. I chose to wait until your tattoo was fully formed to reveal myself." "Why?" Karen asked "Because, I knew that you had enough on your plate, dealing with the lost of your first guardian and the acquisition of a new one, who might I add, is absolutely divine looking." the figure let out a tinkling laugh "I didn't want to overwhelm you. I wanted us to meet when you had finished going through your trials." "Oh," Karen said softly "So,' she paused "What happens when we join? Am I going to be different?" Again the figure laughed "No, you will not be different, at least not in the way you're thinking. The only difference is that you will finally be whole again, I know that there have been times where you felt like there was something missing. That's because there was. I was missing. When we join, it will be like two people sharing the same mind. You will still be yourself, the same thought and feelings, I will not be present most of the time. However, when you are alone, or need advice, or help. You simply have to look inside of you and I will be there. There is much that you still don't know. While my knowledge is also limited, it will be enough to get you through any tough times until we can make it to the library." The ghostly figure stood quietly as Karen absorbed what had been said. Many of the things were true, there were often times that she felt empty, or missing something. "What happens if we don't bond?" She asked hesitantly. "Then we will die." the figure said simply "If you can not learn to accept the spyrim part of you, it will wither and fade away into nothingness, and while you might still be physically alive, there will be not much left other than the basic functions to keep the body alive." "Does it hurt? The joining?" "No. There might be some discomfort, since there has been such a long time since we've been joined, but there should be no pain, and the completed feeling after it will make up for any discomfort." Karen thought, and thought. While she was worried about sharing her head, she also knew that as the last being of this race she had to do whatever it took to keep it alive. After what seemed like forever, she nodded. "Okay, so what do we do?" The spyrim smiled a glowing smile and held out her hand "Simply take my hand. That is all you have to do." Karen took a deep, steadying breath, and reached for the transparent hand. As soon as she made contact, pricks and needles shot up her arm, making her gasp. It was definitely uncomfortable, and she shut her eyes tight, biting her lip until it bleed and they spread out over her entire body. But even though her whole body felt like it had fallen asleep, a warm, soothing sensation soon followed the same path, flowing from her hand, up her arm, and throughout, chasing the needles away. Breathing a sigh of relief, Karen looked to the spyrim to see a joyous look on her face. All at once, Karen felt like she was a mold, being filled with a warm, thick liquid. All of the small holes that had made her feel incomplete filled. Blinking back the tears in her eyes, she looked to see the spyrim slowly fading as she get filled up. IN the back of her mind, a door seemed to open, and there was the spyrim. Karen let out a laugh of pure happiness. "Welcome home," she said to the spyrim who was now finally a part of her again. ******* Karen slowly surfaced from a deep restful sleep. She sighed contentedly, snuggling into the warm body that held her close, feeling better than she had in a long time. That feeling quickly vanished when she realized that she had snuggled into a warm body. Instinctively, she knew who it was as his scent wrapped around her like a blanket. Her eyes shot open, and she sucked in a breath as a broad, well defined chest gazed back at her. Slowly, her eyes traveled up, to massive shoulders, a thick neck, strong chin, soft lips, a perfectly chiseled nose, up to warm, honey brown eyes that shone with intelligence and a bit of humor. "Good morning," he rumbled, his deep, morning voice sending shivers down her spine. She blushed a pretty pink, "Good morning," she replied hesitantly. As she sat up, she gathered the sheet around to cover herself up. In her haste to get out of bed, she didn't realized that by taking the sheet she would reveal the rest of the perfect male body before her. "Oh god." she whispered as she looked back at Theo, her eyes locking onto his massive member, standing proudly in the morning light. Instantly, warmth flooded between her thighs and her legs quivered. She saw Theo take a deep breath, before groaning, his eyes darkening with desire. Realization that he could smell her desire made her blush a fierce red. With a few stammered words, she rushed to the bathroom. As she turned on the water, she finally allowed herself to remember what had happened last night. After Josh has left, she went to shower. Within minutes of his departure, as she was standing under the warm spray, the pleasure pain hit with a vengeance. She had desperately tried to alleviate it herself but nothing had helped. Instead, her self induced orgasms only made it worse. fearing her sanity, she called out for Theo, hoping beyond hope that he would be home. The relief she had felt when he came through the bathroom door was palatable. As she replayed what happened after he grabbed her from the shower, her knees got weak. The warmth in her core flowing down her thighs, soothing any soreness she had. "Oh god," she moaned, as her walls clenched around emptiness, begging to be filled. She wanted more, but that made her battle with herself. "Yes!" one side screamed, including the new voice of her spyrim half "That cock, those hands. Oh god that tongue!" "No!" the other side argued "He's a chauvinistic pig who is way too full of himself. Calling him in here would just inflate his massive head and make him even more of a pain to deal with!" "Dog," the first side responded smugly "He prefers dog." A knock on the door saved her from the arguing. "Karen?" She tried to stifle a moan as his voice slid over her skin like silk. "Y-y-y-yes?" she stammered breathlessly. "I was wondering if you needed any help," his giant form was a shadow against the shower curtain. "with the hard to reach places." his voice ened in a seductive growl that made her core quake. As she peaked out from around the curtain, the sight of his beautiful, naked body, completely shut down the 'no' side. She smiled at him sheepishly, and scooted over, taking the curtain with her, allowing him room to climb in. He gave her a crooked grin and gracefully stepped under the warm spray. Karen turned so that her back was facing him, a red blush already creeping across her shoulders. Theo chuckled softly, stepped close to her and gently ran his fingers across her shoulder and down her arm. Changed Ch. 08 "I'll never get tired of touching you lass," he said gruffly, his voice catching in his throat. She let out a shuddering breath, and turned to face him, their bodies close enough that her breasts brushed against his chest. Gently, she mimicked his move, gently touching his shoulder, letting her fingers trail down over his chest. "I don't think I'll ever get tired of you touching me," she said softly, a knot forming in her stomach as she was faced with the fact that she had feelings for the man in front of her. He groaned softly, wrapping her into a hug, leaning his cheek against the top of her head, his heart pounding in his chest. "Don't tease me lass," his voice raw with emotion "I couldn't bear it." She shook her head, and snuggled against him "I wouldn't do that," she pushed back slightly, meeting his honey brown eyes that were filled with hope. She took a shuddering breath "I think I might be fallin..." He cut her off with a swift kiss, unable to bear her words while he was so raw incase they were misguided by their night of lovemaking. Within seconds, the kiss grew into a desperate need. They were grabbing at each other, frantic in the sudden burning need to be together. Soon, Theo had her hoisted up against the shower wall, her legs wrapped around his waist as he entered her. "Oh yes," She hissed, her head thrown back, and her body arching off the wall to push closer to him. Theo let out a throaty chuckle that lit her insides on fire, as he cupped her ass in his hands, his hips holding her against the wall. "You would think we hadn't spent the whole night lovin each other with the way we're acting." Karen let out a breathy laugh as she wrapped her hands around his strong neck, gently clenching her inner muscles making him grunt "Don't care." she squeezed again "Want more." "Always." he growled as he began to pound her into the tile. Neither of them lasted long, both of them still primed from last night. THe came at the same time, both shouting their releases. As they slowly came down, Theo removed himself and gently placed her back onto her feet, keeping her steady. They finished their shower, both with a happy glow, making small talk as they went. After they toweled off, they went back into Karen's room, to get dressed. Karen walked over to her dresser when inspiration hit. "What's your favorite color?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye "Hmmm." Theo answered as he crossed his arms over his broad chest, his pants slung low on his hips "Why?" he countered with a crooked grin "Oh," she mused "just curious." as she opened her undie drawer. He chuckled and shook his head "Green, like the forest." he answered as he tugged his shirt on. "Perfect," she answered, as she held up a forest green set of lingerie. "Jesus," he whispered as the breath was knocked out of him, his member instantly going hard. She gave him a soft laugh and slowly put the set on. "I would never have thought someone putting ON lingerie could be as sexy as someone taking it off." he said reverently, slowing approaching her. She laughed again, though it turned into a breathy moan as he cupped her ass, pulling her against him. She looked up, tilting her head back, a smile in her eyes as she looked for a kiss. He complied readily, his lips covering hers, as he held her close. They kissed for a while, the heat building again, when Theo tore himself away. "We need to finished getting ready, Becca is on her way home." he said with disappointment Karen gave him a pouty look, before pulling on her pants. Theo watched, his mouth dry as the dark green panties disappeared underneath old jeans. He tried to swallow but his throat was too dry. Shaking his hand, he ran a hand through his short hair. "I'm not going to be able to concentrate on anything today." he bemoaned. Karen laughed, patting his chest as she walked towards the stairs "You poor thing," she headed downstairs "Come on, I'll make coffee and breakfast." Theo's stomach growled loudly, answering for him as he followed her into the kitchen. Karen quickly made him a strong cup of coffee while he sat at the small table in the kitchen. As she started to pull out all sorts of food, he cleared his throat. "So," he said nonchalantly, "do you know what caused last nights trial?" Karen chuckled, a pink blush spreading over her face. "Yeah," she said exasperatedly as she whipped up some pancake batter, the griddle beeping to let her know it was hot. Theo looked at her expectantly, and her blush grew. "Ugh," she shook her head, pouring the first few pancakes on the griddle, "I was really shook up about what happened in the woods yesterday," she looked at him pointedly, and he gave her a small crooked grin. "Anyways, I called out to Josh, he said that if I ever needed him, I just needed to call him." She flipped the pancakes, he face taking on a serious set "We had a very interesting talk." she shifted her weight a couple times, then shrugged, and poured new pancakes. "I guess it took a whole lot of energy or power or something and that set off the trial." "Ah," Theo said, nodding and taking a sip of his coffee. "I actually wanted to talk about what happened yesterday. About why I came to find you" he set his mug down and leaned back in the chair "I know you don't know about how a pack is ranked, but do you remember the young man you used to deliver the picture?" Karen nodded, unease settling in her stomach. "Basically, there are three tiers of wolves in a pack, Alpha is the top, Beta is second, and theta is third. Now there are some other levels, but you don't need to know about them yet. Anyways, there are rules that are in place for the safety of the pack. One of them is that no unaddressed letters get sent to a high ranking wolf without a theta opening them first. Theta's are the lowest rung, and are gentle, soft wolves who aren't very good at defending themselves. Now before you start in about how it's unfair for them to open potentially dangerous mail, they were the ones who asked for the rule to be put in place. THis is because the higher ranking wolves protect the entire pack, and the thetas felt it would be better to sacrifice themselves instead of one of the key protectors of the pack." Karen looked at him confused, "Okay?" she asked good naturedly. Theo sighed and scrubbed a hand over his face. "The whole pack knows that you spar with Becca, and can keep pace with her. Becca is a beta, on of the main protectors of the pack. You being able to spar with her, places you on that same tier to the thetas. You threatened a theta, a young one too, to deliver an unaddressed letter to the second highest ranked wolf in the pack." Realization dawned on her and she cursed under her breath "He didn't know that I was playing, did he?" Theo simply shooked his head negative. "Shit!" she whispered "I'm sorry, I was just playing, I didn't think he'd take it seriously." "It's okay," Theo said with a small smile "Though I think it would be a good idea to maybe apologize to him and explain, or he'll fear you for the rest of time." Karen nodded as she started on the eggs, potatoes and the steak that Theo had taken out. they sat in silence for a while, the sizzling of the steak the only noise in the room. Karen cleared her throat and looked at Theo sheepishly. "I also have something I want to talk to you about too." Theo smiled a reassuring smile "Shoot." he said "One of the things me and josh talked about was some library that he thought would be good to check out..." she paused abruptly and tilted her head, confusion and fear crossing her face. "Karen?" Theo asked getting up from the table and approached her. She didn't hear him, instead she was shocked when a soft voice spoke in her mind: Tell him the truth her spyrim half spoke you need to trust him, he is your new guardian, he has to know the truth. But why does it matter if I tell him it was my moms library? Because, he'll understand how important this trip is for you. Do you think the Alpha will let the last spyrim go on some weird quest? If Theo understands how important this is to you, he'll help you fight for it. "Karen," his soft worried voice brought her back out of her head and she blinked at him confused for a second. "Are you okay?" he asked worried, his hand cupping her cheek, his eyes searching hers. "Yes," she said uncertainly "That was... weird." she shook her head, her thoughts finally aligning themselves "I'm sorry," she smiled at him "I was reconnected to my spyrim half some time last night, and it's just really weird to have some other half in my brain, she was talking to me." she chuckled, "That's going to take some getting used too." Theo let out a relieved sigh "Yeah, I couldn't imagine what it would be like to all of a sudden have a second half. I still struggle with it, and I was born with mine." He helped her plate up all the food that she had made and went over to the table. "So," he said as he piled his plate with mounds of food "a library?" "Yeah," she shrugged "Apparently my mom was a keeper of knowledge for the spyrim, and it's her library. Inside, Josh said that there was her personal journal, that she wrote when she realized that she might be the only spyrim left. It's like a how to manual for the child she knew she would have to have to continue on the race." Theo nodded as he chewed his food. "I don't think Brett will think the trip is a good idea" he said hesitantly "You are the last one of your kind, and you've sort have become part of the pack," he gave her a goofy smile "He'll want to keep you safe at all costs." Karen tried to smile back, but her stomach sank. "Yeah," she said with a heavy sigh "I figured as much," she looked at him with pleading eyes. Theo groaned, "You're a human." he said in mock anger as he pointed a finger at her "You should NOT be able to pull off puppy eyes so well." He absently rubbed his chest as her gaze cut right to his heart. "I'll see if I can't convince Brett to let you go on this trip, but you need to be prepared for the chance that he'll say no okay?" Karen nodded, her mood instantly lifted "Josh gave me the coordinates, do you wanna see them?" "Mmmmhmm." Theo said with a mouth full of food. Karen got up and got the slip of paper that had Josh's hand writing on it. Theo looked down at the slip of paper before grunting and shaking his head. "What?" Karen asked, suddenly nervous. "Do you know where this is?" he asked her. "No" she said hesitantly, "Is it bad?" "This is going to be one hell of a trip lass," he replied, digging back into his food "It's in the middle of the amazon, in the northern top part of Brazil. We'll have to be air dropped in, there isn't a single city, even a small one, within hundreds of miles. I'll have to look at a map to be sure, but I'm also pretty sure that we'll have to be dropped off miles away from this spot because of the dense jungle. So on top of having to pack in everything we'll need and carry it, we'll have one hell of a hike through dense jungle." Karen thought about that for a minute, before a smile slowly spread across her face. Her excitement at the challenge was palpable. Theo shook his head, his smile mirroring her, his wolf close to the surface, ready to meet the challenge with his mate. "Do you know how many hard trips I've been on?" she asked him as she ate. "No, but I did know that you've been on some based on the letters in your desk." he waggled his eyebrows at her as she gasped indignantly "I'm still mad about that," she said, before smiling "Anyways, I've been on a lot. When I was 16, Dad dropped me in the middle of the Himalayas, with nothing but a day pack and the clothes on my back." She took a sip of coffee, not noticing Theo's surprised look "It took me me 45 days to finally make it to the nearest village." she stood up excitedly, pride radiating out, as she lifted her shirt, and pointing out a triplet of thin scars on her ribcage that he hadn't noticed in the heat of last night. "I got these when a leopard thought I'd make a tasty snack..." her voice trailed off as she finally caught the anger in Theo's gaze as he finally got a good look at the many scars that crisscrossed her stomach. "Uhm," she mumbled lamely, as she quickly sat back down, confused as to why he was so angry. "Did I do something wrong?" she asked as she visibly saw him battling his wolf. "Where did all of the scars come from?" he growled out, his hands holding his utensils in a white knuckled grip. She swallowed, and pushed her food around on her plate. "Uhhh," she said, absently rubbing one arm, closing one eye as half of her face scrunched "Some are from animals and falls when I went on the excursions my dad planned, the others are from training with him when I was old enough to train with weapons." She flinched at the vicious snarl from across the table. "What the fuck was your dad thinking?" he exploded "You could have died!" "But I didn't," she responded, stating the obvious. "Besides, he pushed me hard, but he never did anything that I couldn't handle, also, on those trips, I know he had a tracker on me and monitored how I was doing. He sent me on trips like that so that I never had to worry about taking care of myself. If I can survive the himalayas, the tundra, the saharia, and australia, then I can sure as shit handle living in a city on my own." She stood up, slightly miffed that Theo thought so little of her father, and gathered the empty plates from the table. As she went to the sink, she said over her shoulder "He trained me so hard so that I would never need a man to protect me. So that I never had to rely on anyone but myself" she ended her statement by tossing the dishes in the sink, before walking out of the kitchen. Theo growled softly and followed her out of the kitchen. "If there hadn't been wolves at the cemetery, you would have died the night you fought the night fairies. Regardless of what you say, you do need someone. Especially now, when all sorts of things that go bump in the night are out to get you. You need someone, you need me." he ended on a smug note, crossing his arms over his chest. Karen whirled on him, fury etched in her features, her eyes glowing a soft blue as her tattoo pulsed under her shirt. "I will never," she hissed the word and jabbed a finger in his chest "need you." She took a step back, "I may want you, and I may have 'needed'," she used finger quotes "you to help me get through my trial, but I could have easily used a toy if I had one. You need to realize, that I do not need you, or anyone." and with that she turned on her heel and stormed out of the kitchen. Theo stared in shock at the empty space that she was just occupying, his own fury rising. No one had ever talked to him like that. He whirled and put his fist through the wall, rage and hurt battling for the top spot. He started at the figure that was storming away and his wolf came rushing forward. Theo let him take over, giving him full control, and shifted to his four legged form. The beast growled as the man withdrew completely. Acting on instinct, the wolf charge after the woman. Changed Ch. 09 Karen didn't even know what hit her as she was bowled into the ground, face first. Grunting she quickly moved to dislodge the weight on top of her, and sprung into a defensive crouch, facing to wolf who had bowled into her. "Cuddles?" she asked as she noted the soft grey fur and the light gold eyes of just the wolf. The wolf growled at her, in a posturing stance. Slowly he circled her, as Karen moved in time with him. She didn't understand why the wolf was acting like this, but her instincts kicked in, and she was forced to look at the wolf as that, a wolf, not Theo, or Cuddles. Without warning, the wolf lunged, and Karen let him knock her back, but she used his momentum, and kicked up with her legs, swinging the massive animal over her head. She heard his grunt, but was scrambling onto her feet so she didn't see where he had landed. She also didn't notice the crowd who had gathered, or that one of the wolves who had taken off towards the hospital. Again, the wolf circled her, snarling viciously. Again he charged, but instead of jumping on her, he slammed his side into her legs, sending her tumbling again, the breath getting knocked out of her. She gasped, slightly disoriented, her instinct screaming at her to get up. She clambered back to her feet, just as he charged again. She let her mind go blank, moving on instinct. As the animal approached, she freighted to the left, and stuck out with her right leg, making contact with his ribs, staggering him. He quickly regained his balance and struck out again, catching her arm in his jaws. She grunted at the sharp pain of his teeth tearing into her arm. Lashing out, her other fist made contact with his muzzle, making him let go. Then she attacked, fury and fear pushing her, this was not her wolf, this was not her man. She landed a fury of blows, causing the massive wolf to jump back. "KAREN!" a terrified voice screamed. She looked up to see Becca standing there, white as paper. The distraction was all the wolf needed as he pounced on her again slamming her into the ground. She let out a wheeze as the breath was stripped from her. The wolf stood on top of her, snarling in her face. Karen simply stared up at him defiantly, which made him growl more. "Karen," Becca's voice shook as she slowly moved closer "You need to yield. You're challenging his position." Karen made a snarled face and didn't look away. Without warning, his jaw were around her neck. "FOR FUCKS SAKE KAREN LOOK AWAY AND TILT YOUR CHIN UP!" Becca screamed. Fury, pain, and fear made tears leak out of her eyes, as she closed her eyes and tilted her chin up and away, bearing more of her throat to the wild animal on top of her. Moments passed but still the wolf didn't move, his teeth puncturing her neck slightly and little drops of blood dripped down. Still the wolf didn't move. Suddenly a booming voice filled the air. "Theodore Farland," the power in the voice was stunning "release the girl." The wolf growled, but didn't let go. "Ah," the voice said and slowly, purposely approached as the wolf growled louder. Karen cracked her eyes to see a massive pair of feet stop by her face. The man bent down to be eye level with the wolf clamped around her neck. The wolf let go of her, snarling at the man. Once they made contact however, it seemed like everything stopped. The wolf shook his head a few times, before looking back at the man, and then down at her. The tears continued to flow down her face, making tracks in the dirt that was there from hitting the ground so many times. Slowly the eyes shifted from the light gold, to Theo's honey brown. He looked down at her confused, then down at her neck, where four little holes still bled slowly. He shook his head again, and backed off of her, shifting back to human. Karen scrambled up, swaying slightly, the wound on her arm bleeding freely. Theo gazed at her like he had never seen her before. "Karen?" he asked taking a step towards her, but she quickly stumbled backwards, falling down again, her fear potent. "What..." he asked softly, looking to his alpha. The large man simply glared at him with disapproval, before turning to the shaking girl on the ground. "Shhhh, now dear," he said softly to Karen "Can you walk?" Her fear now taking over, she shook her head no, her terrified gaze looked on the man she thought she had feelings for. "Okay," the giant said "I'll carry you. Is that okay?" She finally looked at him, the tears still flowing. He smiled gently, sending her waves of calm. "We have to get you to the hospital so Becca can fix you up." Karen simply nodded as the behemoth of a man gently scooped her up like a child. Theo growled, and took a step forward, which caused her to flinch and huddle into the chest of the man carrying her. The man growled back, a much deeper growl, which shut down the other wolf. "You lost your right to having anything to do with this female when you attacked her. Stand down. I seriously doubt you want your ass handed to you in front of the pack, pup." Theo looked confused, but took a step back "I didn't attack her." he said incredulously. "Right," the large man rumbled "Some other grey wolf attacked her, or maybe she just magically got her arm torn up and her neck punctured." He began walking towards the hospital, stopping when he was level with Theo, turning his body to shield the woman. "I suggest you have a serious talk with your wolf, and put some clothes on. I expect you in my office immediately." Theo just looked at the ground in shock as the Alpha stormed off. ******** "Thank you." Karen said shakily as the large man laid her in a hospital bed. "It was nothing my dear. My name is Brett Farland. I am the alpha of this pack," he said gently as he cover the tiny, shaking woman with a blanket, before pulling up a chair and sitting by her bedside. "I'm sorry that this is the first time we've had a chance to meet" he gave her a sheepish smile "my..." he paused briefly "wife, just had our first children. Its not an excuse, but I have been preoccupied with that." Karen gave him a small smile "It's okay," she said quietly "Congratulations." "Thank you," he said before getting serious as Becca came in with a tray of tools, a scowl on her face. "I'm sorry to ask you this, but do you know what happened? Why Theo lost control of his wolf?" Karen's tears starting up again. "I don't know," she hiccuped "We had a bit of a fight I guess, he insulted my upbringing." she sniffled angrily "I yelled at him, told him that I didn't need anyone, and then I left. I was heading to see Becca." She gave the female wolf a small smile, but it wasn't returned as she gently began to work on the tear in her arm, slamming down the tools when she was done with them. She cleared her throat "I was actually hoping to come talk to you to be honest." Brett nodded, raising an eyebrow at her last statement "Oh?" he asked. "My mother, the spyrim, was a holder of knowledge, and I was given the coordinates to it. It has invaluable knowledge of my past, as well as things that will help explain my future. I was wondering if you would allow me to go." her eyes brimmed with tears again. "I was going to go with Theo, he was going to ask you, but after the fight I was going to ask to go alone." Brett gave her a soft, sad smile. "I understand how much this must mean to you, but I cannot let you go alone. I'm sorry" Without missing a beat Becca growled "I'll go with her." Brett smiled, "Who will run the hospital?" "Timothy is ready, this would be a great test to see how he'd handle the hospital alone. Besides, most of our wounds heal on their own." Brett thought for a while, looking between the two women, one tearful and the other fuming. "Very well," he said standing "You may go, if only to make up for what Theo did today" He gently patted Karens knee "I'm going to find out why this happened. If you ever need me, Becca can get in touch. Okay? I'll get everything ready for your trip. I'm assuming you want to leave as soon as possible." Karen nodded, new tears streaming "Thank you so much." Brett simply smiled at her and nodded at Becca as he left. Karen looked over the the female wolf, and for the first time saw the flecks of gold in her eyes. She sighed heavily "I'm sorry Becca." Becca growled, but caught herself "What on earth for?" she said tensely as she started to stitch up the wound on her friends arm "You're mad at me." Karen said softly Becca met her eyes and hugged her close "Oh Karen, I'm not mad at you. You did nothing wrong. I'm furious at Theo. I'm sorry it's bleeding over. I'm really trying to keep a handle on it." Karen hugged her back, hissing slightly as the rip on her arm pulled slightly "Oh crap! I'm sorry." Becca said as she finished the stitches and wrapped up the arm in a clean bandage. "Okay, lemme look at your neck." Karen obliged, hissing when she cleaned the small wounds. "These aren't bad, I'm just gonna put a band-aid on them." She held up a few different boxes. "Do you want, Sparkly, rainbow, or my little pony?" she smiled. Karen laughed shakily "I'll take the plain cloth ones for my neck, but a sparkly one on my arm would totally make me feel better." Once she was all patched up, the two women went to the lounge to watch T.V. Without even speaking, Becca knew that Karen would want to stay at the hospital to avoid being close to Theo. They watched tv for a while, before Becca turned to Karen. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked softly Karen shrugged "There really isn't a whole lot to talk about it. Last night was my finally trial, I called for Theo to come help me. We spent all night together," tears welled up "He was my first, and it was great, until breakfast." She shrugged again wiping her eyes on the sleeve of a borrowed shirt "I told him about my mom's library. Aparently it's in the Amazon, and he was talking about how difficult the trip was, so I started to tell him about all the trips my dad sent me on. I showed him a scar I got from a leopard and I guess he saw all my other scars and he flipped his shit. He started going on about how my dad was crazy for training me so hard." she shook her head her angry flaring again "Theo just doesn't understand, that my dad did what he had to to make sure that I knew how to protect myself. I understand why he was so hard now, I'm the last of my kind. I HAVE to be able to protect myself. I told Theo that, and he went off about how I needed him and how he's the only one who could protect me. So I got mad and told him that I would never need him. Then I walked out, coming to see you." Becca hugged her friend close. "I'm sorry," she said softly. Karen chewed on her lip and shrugged fighting the tears. "It's okay," she swallowed and smiled "besides now we get to go on a super cool adventure!" Becca smiled back "Hell yeah!" The girls laughed it off, watching tv until late, falling asleep together on the couch. ****** Theo stared at his feet as he sat in the Alpha's office. He had tried to speak to his wolf, but his other half had locked himself away, leaving Theo feeling empty. The best he figured was his wolf had taken Karen's words as a rejection, and the fear and hurt that the man felt must have been magnified to the primitive side of his wolf. Theo sighed, his eyes prickling. He blinked his eyes rapidly, and stared as a single tear landed on his clasped hands. He wiped his face, it had been decades since he had last cried. The door was kicked open, as he Alpha stormed into the room, as Theo jumped to his feet. He bowed slightly, waiting for Brett to sit down first. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Brett bellowed, his hands fists on his desk. Theo flinched slightly, it had also been many decades since he was last in serious trouble, and remained silent. "So?" Brett asked furiously "You want to explain why you attacked the woman you said was your mate?" Theo swallowed, "The only thing I can think of is that my wolf took what she had said as a rejection. Her words might not have meant to be hurtful, but they cut deep in both me and my wolf. I think he went feral out of the hurt from her words and the fear of losing her." His eyes stung again and he shook his head but a tear fell anyways. "I let him take control, trying to hide from my pain as well, without my reason, he must have just spiraled down, and lashed out at the thing that was hurting him. He won't even talk to me, I can't even feel him right now. I've lost the woman I love, I've lost my wolf, I feel so empty right now." He finally looked up at Brett Brett nodded once, understanding showing through his eyes. "Every great wolf, has been there Theo. You're wolf will come back soon, when he's done berating himself. However, what you did to the young lady was unacceptable." Brett shook his head, and ran a hand through his hair. "What am I going to do with you Theo?" he asked heavily. "The whole pack saw basically you lose control. You're next in line to be Alpha." he said exasperated "How are you going to instill trust and loyalty in the pack, if you turn on your own mate?" Theo sighed and simply shrugged his shoulders. " I don't know." Brett gave him a stern look "We're going to hold a meeting with the pack, and you'll explain to them everything. Then, you are to go around and help each and every one with their job, to reaffirm that you are a part of this pack. Lastly, we will have a tournament, to reaffirm that you are still strong and IN CONTROL of your wolf." Theo nodded, before realizing that it would take weeks to do everything. "If I may, I do have a request." he said solemnly. Brett gave him a raised eyebrow "You really was to ask for something while you're sitting in the fire?" Theo nodded and Brett shook his head. "I'll listen but that doesn't mean I'll grant it." "Karen found the location for her mother's library. I would like to take her to retrieve whatever may be there." "No." Brett said evenly "Please," Theo asked "It's so important for her to go and see what her mother left her." Brett was silent for a minute, "You're right." "So we can go?" Theo asked hopefully, "No." "But..." Brett cut him off with a raised hand. "She has already asked to go on this trip. I agreed to let her." Theo breathed a sigh of relief, before it came crashing back down. "She can't go alone," he said fiercely, jumping to his feet. Brett growled and slowly rose as well "Watch your tone pup, you're still in hot water with me." Theo lowered his eyes and sat down with a mumbled apology. "I am well aware that she can't go alone, Becca will be going with her. " Theo huffed, but didn't say anything more. "They will be leaving in a few days, once Karen has healed," he emphasized the word. Theo shrunk away slightly "How bad is she?" he asked miserably. Brett sighed. "She had one laceration on her arm that needed stitches, there were also shallow puncture marks in her neck." he shook his head and sighed again. "You really fucked that up, Theo." He ran a hand through his hair again. "To be absolutely honest with you, I don't know if you can fix things with her." The let out a shuddering breath, blinking back more embarrassing tears. "I have to." he said shakily. Brett looked at him thoughtfully, "I will talk with Becca, though I've never seen her so mad. Perhaps, once you've re-established yourself with the pack, I may let you go and be with her on her trip" Theo jumped up, and bowed "Thank you," Brett just shook his head and shooed him out "Go home, get some sleep. Your work begins tomorrow." ***** Karen woke up, feeling better than she had in the past few days. Today was the day they were leaving to go search for the library. She bounded out of bed, and bounced downstairs. Even though she had cried herself to sleep, again, she had tons of energy. Yet as soon as she entered the kitchen, everything was sapped out of her. Standing there, staring into a steaming cup of coffee stood the very man she didn't want to see. She skidded to a stop, her socks sliding on the hardwood and she quickly took a step back, her jaw clenching painfully. He turned around, and met her eyes. She started, when she saw the emptiness in his once lively eyes. "Karen," he said gruffly, in an almost reverent tone. "Wha..." Her voice cracked from all of the crying she'd done. She cleared her throat and tried again "What are you doing here?" He sighed heavily, and swirled his coffee cup "I..." he swallowed, and she almost pitied him, until her anger flared to life. She looked at him expectantly, crossing her arms over her chest. His eyes instantly went to the bandage that was wrapped around her forearm. "I... " He tried again, shaking his head and setting the coffee cup down "I have some bad news," his voice cracked slightly. "What?" she asked, standing up straight, ignoring that she was only dressed in an oversized t-shirt. She took a steadying breath, and walked past him into the kitchen. She wasn't prepared for his scent to affect her, but it socked her in the stomach. She cleared her throat, choosing to ignore it. Though his soft groan as her smell hit him was much harder to ignore. The soft sound had her skin tingling, and her spyrim screaming at her to throw herself into his arms. This only made her madder, and her tattoo began to glow softly. -He loves us!- she screamed. -No. If he loved us, he wouldn't have attacked me. He had my neck in his jaws for christ sake.- -He's a wolf,- she retorted, like that made everything okay. -Enough,-Karen shut her down. She made herself a cup of coffee, refusing to look at the man whose eyes she could feel boring into her. Theo cleared his throat, and ran a hand through his hair. "We should wait till Brett gets here." Karen's heart dropped to her stomach. "What's going on?" Theo opened his mouth to answer, when a knock on the door silenced him. Glaring at him, Karen moved around him to go answer it. "Good Morning, Karen." Brett's deep voice was like a balm to her anger. "Good morning." she said shakily, moving aside to let him in. Brett made eye contact with Theo and nodded once. "What's going on?" Karen asked nervously, her heart dropping to her toes. "There has been a change in plans." brett said softly. "Where's Becca?" Karen asked, finally noticing that Becca's coat, shoes and wallet were missing from besides the door. "Becca and Cody have been called away in a family emergency." Brett sighed heavily "Their birth mother is very ill, she has asked them to be with her. Becca got the call last night. She didn't want to wake you because you were actually sleeping." Karen turned bright red as her eyes unconsciously looking to Theo, whose concern only made her mad. She swallowed. "I'm fine," she said stubbornly, earning her a patient smile from Brett. She swallowed again, her hopes for the trip being dashed. "So what does this mean?" she asked. She couldn't stay at the compound without Becca there to be with her. Not with Theo living right next door. Brett sighed again, and Theo shifted his weight a couple times, looking at the ceiling. "You have two options my dear," Brett said calmly "We can postpone the trip, though it will be weeks, if not months before Becca gets back. Or..." he paused and looked at Theo, who was now staring at the floor. Karen stared in shock. "No." She said, and Theo flinched. "Karen," Brett said softly, "Is there no one else who can take me?" she blurted out. Again Brett sighed, "I'm sorry, there is no one else. We either postpone the trip, or you go with Theo." She glared at Theo, her eyes and tattoo glowing blue. She began shaking as she held back the angry tears that were threatening to spill over. She clenched her jaw and shook her head, looking away in disbelief. Changed Ch. 09 -Go with him- the spyrim said softly -Bullshit, you only want to go because you think we're 'meant to be'- Karen said bitterly, they had fought over that every day since the incident. -No.- the spyrim said gently and wrapped Karen in a hug. -I'm saying that because we need to know what your mother left for you. That information is more important than petty fights between you and him.- Karen swallowed and a the first tear escaped. She turned back to Theo, her stare as blank as his. "Are you packed?" she asked in a dead voice. He simply nodded. She turned to Brett as another tear escaped. "I'll go with him," she swallowed hard as more tears came "But if he attacks me again, I'll shoot him." To her surprise Brett smiled and then hugged her. "Sounds good to me." He gently held her back slightly and wiped her eyes. "It's not the end of the world." he said softly " I know you're scared, I know you don't trust him any more, but I also know that you still care about him." She scoffed and he smiled shaking his head "Trust me my dear, he will never harm you again. His actions have hurt him just as much as they hurt you." He leaned closer and whispered in her ear so Theo couldn't hear him "He's lost just as much sleep as you, and is hurting just as much too." Karen simply glared, but nodded. Brett smiled and hugged her again "Have a great trip. I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back." She smile up at the massive Alpha "Thank you. I hope it's everything I've been dreaming it is." He nodded to her and then Theo "Go get ready, The car is packed to take you to the airport, then you'll catch a plane to Brazil, then it will be helicopter to as close to coordinates, which is about 60 miles away. You'll have to hike the rest." She nodded at him, they had gone over the plan a few times already, and a smile broke out across her face at the thought of hiking again. He patted her shoulder and then left. She turned to look at Theo. She started to say something, but just shook her head and went upstairs. She came back down, dressed in her travel clothes and a huge pack on her back. Despite everything, Theo gave her a tiny smile, that barely reached his eyes. "That's almost bigger than you." he said softly. She tried not to smile, but he caught the slight twitch at the corner of her mouth. The vice that had been squeezing his heart for the past week eased ever so slightly. She ignored his comment, instead she opened the door. "Are you ready?" she asked coolly. He nodded, the smile disappearing from his face. He followed her out the door, grabbing his even larger pack and they walked to the car that was going to take them to the airport. Changed Ch. 10 It took close to two days to finally get out into the jungle, the entire time, Karen only answering crucial questions, and even then only with yes and no. Theo didn't mind though, at least he was around her. Her scent, and seeing her was enough to help ease his burden. Perhaps Brett was right because even though she acted aloof and cool towards him, there were times he caught her looking at him in a way that made hope flare in his heart. *We'll get her back* he thought to his wolf, who whimpered at him pathetically. Theo didn't care though, at least his wolf had come out of hiding, lying curled in a tight ball in the back of his brain. Karen sighed as she watched the helicopter fly off, dread and some other emotion settling in her stomach as she realized that she was alone in the jungle with Theo. Taking a steadying breath, she turned to face him, hoisting her pack onto her back. "Are you ready to start?" she asked emotionlessly. Theo nodded, settling his pack on his shoulders "You set the pace and lead the way, I'll follow." Karen let out a soft scoff and rolled her eyes. Instead of saying anything, she pulled out the GPS, turning in a slow circle to get the direction they were supposed to go. Once she was pointed in the right direction, excitement filled her chest. "Off we go then." she said as she made her way into the dense underbrush of the amazon jungle. The first few days Karen led them in a punishing pace from dawn til dusk they made steady progress through the amazon. Each night, they took turns preparing the food, dehydrated packets of mystery food. At the end of the 5th day, they came upon a small clearing, where a tree had fallen. Though it wasn't quite dusk, Karen set her pack down and turned to Theo. "Good spot for camp tonight?" she asked He gave her a small smile and nodded. Karen went to set up her tent, sneaking glances at her silent companion. She had never been on a trip with someone else before. There was a part of her that wished that they talked when they broke for camp, or while they were walking. It was even more lonely having someone with her and not talking, than being alone. *You can change that ya know* her Spyrim half said peevishly Karen rolled her eyes so hard it hurt. * I am aware of that, but I'm still really upset about what happened. He attacked me, my arm still hurts. Do you know how hard it is to keep it clean in the fucking jungle?* *I'm just saying, maybe you should start talking to him. Would it hurt to make small talk? Besides, maybe if you start talking he'll explain why he did what he did. * Karen made a disgusted sound and shook her head. "You okay?" His soft voice startled her out of her head. Despite herself, she blushed. "Yeah just... heh" she pointed to her head "Arguing with myself. Totally normal." Theo gave her his crooked smile and nodded "I know how that is." After camp was set up, Theo went to find dry firewood and Karen pulled out the beige vacuum sealed pack of food and groaned. She was quickly growing tired of eating the tasteless food. She then pulled out her first aid kit and began to change the dressing on her arm. Theo normally took a while to gather the wood, so she would change it while he wasn't there. She removed the white bandage and the gauze pad, letting out a sigh of relief as the wound was aired out. She pulled out the schedule that Becca had given her, letting her know when the stitches had to come out. To her surprise, it was actually today that they were to come out. As she was digging for some scissors, a pained gasp startled her. As she looked up, there was Theo, arms full of wood, standing a few paces away. His face held a pained expression, his eyes swimming between his honey brown and gold. He took a step forward, dropped the wood and then continued until he was right in front of her. He dropped to his knees, his eyes pleading. "Karen," he said softly, his voice raw "I'm so sorry." Her back stiffened, and she leaned back slightly, "Yeah well..." she trailed off going back to look for her scissors. "I can heal you," his voice cracked slightly, as he looked down at his hands which were clasped in his lap "What?" She asked startled. "I...I... I can heal your arm," he stammered Her eyes narrowed at him "How?" He heaved a heavy sigh and swallowed, looking at her through his lashes "Wolves have a healing ability in their saliva." he flinched a little. "Saliva?" she asked incredulously "you'd spit on me?" He let out a shaky chuckle "Not exactly." he rubbed a hand on his neck and sighed again "I'd lick you." She gave him a deadpan stare "Lick me?" "Mmmhmm," he nodded sheepishly "I'd also have to be in wolf form." "Ah," she said turning back to the first aid kit. "Yeah, that's not going to happen." Theo just sat there looking at her, she dug furiously through the kit. She set it down with a growl and glared at him, her eyes glowing a slight blue. "What?" she asked furiously, "You think you can just lick my arm and everything will be better? Everything will go back to normal? You fucking attacked me!" she jumped up to her feet, her tattoo glowing in the dim light. "WHY DID YOU ATTACK ME?!" She screamed, tears suddenly flowing down her face. Theo quickly stood up, holding his hands out to the side, his own eyes starting to prickle. "I let my wolf take over. Your words hurt me, and I took the easy way out, thinking it was better to hide and the let wolf run things for a little while. What I didn't realize, was that he was also hurt by what you said. Along with that, he took your words as a rejection. He didn't know how to handle the hurt and the fear of losing you. His mind is more primitive than ours. He lashed out at the thing that was hurting him." She looked at him incredulously "Really?!" she shrieked "You're going to blame me for this? YOU HAD MY THROAT IN YOUR JAWS! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME!!" Theo nodded, his eyes pleading "You're right. We both caused the fight. I was wrong to let my wolf take control." he gave her a soft smile "If you let me heal you then we'll be even." Karen made a disgusted noise and looked at him like he was insane "How would we be even?" He took a couple steps closer until he was within an arm's reach from her. His smile grew just a tad bit and slowly he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear "I distinctly remember being pinned to the forest floor with a knife pointed to my heart." Karen blushed a deep red but didn't pull away as he gently cupped her neck, secretly craving his touch. "Please Karen," he begged "Let," he grinned slightly and gave a slight shake of his head, "Cuddles heal you." "I don't know Theo." she said softly stepping away, "I don't know if I can face him." "I will be right there with him, he has to be the one in control, but I will be there also. He wants to apologize too. Trust me. He feels awful. I haven't heard anything from him since the incident" "Please," He begged again "Please Karen, let us heal you." She took a shuddering breath, steeling her nerves. "This won't make everything better," she said with a small quaver in her voice "I don't know if things will ever go back to how they were. Don't think that me letting you heal this will magically fix everything." Theo nodded stepping back "He's going to submit to you, if you'd like to forgive him, not saying you have to, but if you'd like to, just, rub his chin and belly." Karen nodded and looked at her boots as Theo stripped down. Karen looked up when she heard a soft whine. There in front of her was the massive wolf, laying on his stomach, his pale gold eyes sad. He whined again, and slowly crawled forward. Karen's heart was racing as he slowly approached, but his eyes were so sad, and it was so pathetic to see such a massive predator inching towards her. The third whine broke through some of her defenses. She sighed and relaxed slightly. Theo's words ringing in her ear. When she took her anger away and thought logically, what the wolf did to her was no different than a hurt domestic dog biting someone who tried to help. It still made her mad, and the fight that had lead to the attack, still set her blood boiling, but she found she couldn't be mad at the wolf in front of her. She reached back into the kit, finally finding her scissors. She gently snipped the stitches and pulled them out. "Okay," she said softly, holding out her arm The wolf thumped his tail once or twice and got up, walking towards her. Karen shied away slightly when his cold nose brushed her arm. He whined and looked at her pathetically, and she smiled. "Your nose was cold. I'm okay." The wolf chuffed at her, before gently laving her injury. At first nothing happened, but then, with each swipe of his tongue, the laceration slowly shrunk until all that was left, was smooth, pink skin. "Wow," Karen whispered as she looked at her newly healed arm. The wolf let out a soft whine again and laid down, rolling to his back, his tail wagging slowly. Karen smiled and knelt down, gently rubbing his chin and tummy. "I forgive you Cuddles, just not your other half." she said softly, letting out a chuckle as his tail picked up speed, thudding against the ground. Cuddles rolled over and began licking her face, his happiness clearly showing. Karen laughed for the first time in days and scratched him behind his ears. "Who's a big softy?" she asked in a cooing voice Cuddles barked and snuggled his large head onto her shoulder, his whole body wagging with his tail. She loved on him for a while until her stomach growled loudly. Cuddles jumped back and into a play position. "Yeah," she said gloomily " It's dinner time. More... " she sighed and held up the packets "Shit" Cuddles barked and ran around the campsite a few times. He stopped in front of her and licked her face again, before taking off into the woods. Karen laughed softly and started the fire. It was at least an hour before Karen heard the underbrush rustling. "Cuddles?" she asked, slightly nervous. The massive gray wolf bounced into the clearing with happy yips before disappearing back into the underbrush. A few more minutes of rustling in the brush and Cuddles came back, hauling the large carcass of, what appeared to be, a large pig-like creature. Karen burst into laughter as Cuddles bounced around like a puppy. "Were you tired of those nasty meals too?" she cooed. She turned to get her knife out of her tent, letting out a squeak when she turned around and Theo was standing behind her, his jeans slung low on his hips. She swallowed, refusing to let the beautiful picture in front of her affect her. He gave her that crooked smile she secretly loved. "He got a little carried away," he said sheepishly, running and hand through his hair. Karen gave him a small smile "That's okay, I was really getting tired of the food. Fresh meat is a welcome change. Plus, if we start it now, we could probably smoke some of it to carry with us." She moved past him towards the animal. "Karen," he said as he followed her "Stop, you don't have to clean it. I can do that" She looked up at him with cold eyes, "Why?" she snarled "Don't think I can do it?" He gave her a soft smile. "Of course you can do it," he knelt down across from her "You just haven't had much use of your arm, and I would hate to see you tire it out trying to hack into a pig. That's all." Karen narrowed her eyes at him, then looked down at her healed arm. She sighed in frustration before handing him the knife. "Fine," she said getting up and grabbing her machete. "I'll go get saplings for the drying frame." Theo just gave her a smile and nod. His heart feeling lighter than it had in forever. His wolf was back to normal, instead of sulking in the back of his mind. Later that night they sat by the fire, bellies full, and the remaining meat smoking in a makeshift smokehouse. Karen was cleaning her knife when Theo cleared his throat. "What?" she said without looking up. "Thank you for forgiving," he paused "Cuddles." Her lip twitched up at the corner "I can kind of understand why he did what he did. An injured dog will snap at whoever, even if they are trying to help. I guess that was kind of what happened with him." she shrugged "Besides, even though he's massive, he's adorable." "And I'm not?" Theo said in a teasing voice. Karen gave him a look "No, you're still pretty cute, but you don't have an excuse like he did. Or if you do, it's not going to be as good as his, so I'm still pissed at you." Theo nodded, his crooked grin turning her insides to jelly, "I can understand that. But..." he trailed off as she raised an eyebrow "Do you think we can at least talk to each other. I've never been so lonely out in the woods before." Karen sighed and put her clean knife down, resting her arms on her drawn up knees. "I guess we could do that," she said with a shrug. Theo just smiled at her. After they had tucked in for the night, Karen was sound asleep in seconds. She almost didn't wake up when a soft whine come from outside her tent. Groaning she rolled over and checked her watch:3:27 am. The whine sounded again, and her tent flap was pawed. "Cuddles?" she asked groggily and she moved to unzip the flap. She met the giant wolf face to face. His ears were pinned against his head and he whined again. "Whasamatter?" she asked rubbing her eyes. He simply whined again and pushed against her, crawling into her small tent. Karen groaned and moved over slightly, letting the massive beast inside. "You're pushing your luck pup" she grumbled laying back down as he curled himself around her. His tail gently thumping her legs telling her he knew he was and didn't care. ****** Karen stretched as her watch beeped at her and snuggled back into the warm body wrapped around her. "Theo" she whispered softly with a contented sigh. She ran her hand up his smooth chest, missing how his skin felt against her. Skin? Her eyes snapped open and she met his warm honey browns. "WHAT THE HELL?!?!" She shrieked backing as far away from his naked body as the tiny tent allowed. He gave her a sheepish smile, his heart still racing from hearing his name unconsciously on her lips. "Calm down," he said groggily, his rough voice sliding over her skin. "There was a big cat prowling around camp last night. 'Cuddles' refused to not be by your side to protect you. Plus, he knew that you would welcome him a lot quicker than you'd welcome me. He took over, and must have convinced you to let him in. Once he felt you were safe, he calmed down. When we go into deep sleep, we revert to human form. I'm sorry." "He didn't convince me," Karen said sullenly Theo looked over at her, bits of his old self poking through, "According to him, you didn't put up much fight either," he said before yawning. He looked so much more rested than he had in a while. Karen narrowed her eyes. "Not that I care," she said stiffly "But when was the last time you got sleep?" Theo looked over at her with raw eyes before turning away with a shrug. "Does it really matter?" He asked quietly as he crawled out of the tent. She followed him with a huff. "Yes. It does." He turned towards her, his shoulders slightly slumped. "Do you want to know the last time I got a full night sleep or when I last got any sleep?" "Both." she said, crossing her arms over her chest. He gave her a wolfish grin and her insides fluttered a little. " I haven't had a full night's sleep since I walked into your little glass shop," his grin faded to nothing "The night of your last trial was the last time I got any kind of restful sleep" "Oh," Karen said softly looking away "You should have talked to Becca, she could have given you something." she shrugged "That's what I had to do." Theo looked at her with pain filled eyes. "I'm so sorry for what happened Karen," he turned and started pulling on clothes "Besides, pills don't work on wolves, drugs, alcohol, medication, none of it works, we metabolize it too fast for it to be effective." Karen just nodded and packed up camp. Luckily the meat wasn't touched by the big cat, so they ate a breakfast of jerky and started the hike for the day. As they hiked, they made small talk, but it was mostly empty, making both parties feeling even worse. A little after midday, they broke through the brush onto what appeared to be a paved road. "Whoa," Theo said as he looked left and right down the length of the road "This is unusual." He looked at Karen, who was standing stock still. "Karen?" he asked walking up behind her. "Are you okay?" His voice trailed off as she turned to face him. Her eyes and tattoo glowing a brilliant blue. He could feel her power rolling off of her as he stood close to her. "Karen," he asked softly, his hands cupping her face. Inside he was mystified at the amount of power that was radiating off her. It was unlike anything he'd ever felt. "We're close," her voice crawled against his skin, making his hair stand up on end. He moved his hands down her arm to close around her hands as she stared unblinkingly. "Lead the way, Sweetest," he said softly, as she turned right and started down the road at a jog. Theo held on tight to her hand, afraid that in this state she wouldn't notice any danger. They jogged for a while, and Theo was again impressed with her, this time with her stamina. As they jogged, low walls started to appear on the sides of the road and Karen increase the pace until she was running full out. They ran like that for an eternity, the walls morphing into ruined buildings. She continued to run, taking different side streets as they appeared. Suddenly, she stopped dead in front of a massive ruin. Theo looked around, his senses trying to tell him something, but he was too focused on Karen to notice. She stood there, not even breathing hard, not a drop of sweat on her. "Are you okay?" He asked again, framing her face with his hands, his own breathing heavy from the exertion. Slowly the glow dimmed until her eyes were her natural hazel. She took a shuddering breath, as everything came crashing down around her. She leaned into him and wrapped her arms around his waist as she started to shake. He held her tight, whispering nothings in her ear. Finally, after a good 10 minutes she calmed down and moved back enough to look at him, but not break out of his arms. She looked up at him, all of her emotions flowing across her face. "I'm scared." she whispered. He kept one arm around her and moved the other to cup her cheek. "I'm sure you are," he smiled, his heart racing at just having contact with her again "But I'm here. Everything will be okay." She nodded and he placed a soft kiss on the top of her head. He released her, but took one of her hands in his, his heart clenching when her fingers closed around his. Together they explored the massive building. Room after room held an untold number of empty shelves. The only thing sitting on anything was years and years of dust and debris. They searched for hours with nothing to show. Frustration began to build in Karen, her tattoo pulsing with each heartbeat. "This is useless!" She cried, letting her frustration flow through her arm before punching the wall. "Karen!" Theo admonished, grabbing her hand, looking for breaks, but she wasn't listening. Instead she stared at the wall, as soft blue lines began to swirl out from her point of impact. "Theo, look!" she whispered. He looked on in awe as the markings, the same that were on her body, slowly spread upwards. As they looked up, following them, they could see a ledge and some more shelves. "There's another floor!" she exclaimed as she began to scour the walls for a path up. She found one, and quickly stripped off her heavy hiking boots. Changed Ch. 10 "Karen," Theo said with concern. "Relax," she replied as she coated her fingers in dust "I'm a really good climber." "I don't doubt that," he said tensely as he looked at the path she had chosen. "But I can't follow you up that, I'll be too heavy for the handholds." "I'll be fine," she said, her voice breathy in excitement "Let me do this. Show me that you think I can take care of myself, that I don't need to be babied," she finished as she glared at him, her anger about their fight coming back. He looked at her and let out an exasperated sigh. "Okay. I do think you can. I'm sorry about what I said before. I understand why you dad did what he did. You just have to realize that I'm the protector of the pack. It's literally in my blood to be protective and to be there for people. Even if they don't need me." he ended with a small smile. Karen sighed and gave him an honest smile. "I'm sorry too, for blowing up at you. It's been drilled into me to be independent. We were both wrong." she reached up and gently guided his head down "I guess I can forgive you. Do you forgive me?" she asked quietly, her lips inches from his. Theo let out a deep groan and pulled her close, his lips descending to capture hers in a passionate kiss. "I guess," he breathed with a smile when they broke for air, both panting. She smiled up at him and patted his chest letting out a small laugh at the hand print she left on his shirt. He reluctantly let her out of his arms as she moved to approach the crumbly wall. He watched as she scaled the wall with the grace of a monkey. Within minutes, she was at the top. Theo waited for what seemed like hours, pacing around the room that she had left him in. "Theo!" She called down. He was underneath her in a flash. "Yes?!" he asked excited and scared at the same time. "There're four books up here!" she cried "Three look like a history, and the fourth is... " she trailed off "Is what Sweetness?" he called "Her journal. It was really here!" She appeared at the edge of a slim ledge. "Can you catch?" He nodded and held up his hands as the books got tossed down one at a time. He then took them over to their packs as she began a much slower descent. Theo was on his way back to her when he stopped dead in his tracks. Every sense screamed danger, but he couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. "Karen," he growled, his alpha command flowing through his words. "Don't move. Stay still." The warning in his voice was enough to make her listen, as she froze to the side of the wall. He turned in a slow circle, trying to tell what was wrong, but nothing seemed out of place, there were no noises, no new smells, nothing. Suddenly, he was hit with a massive net and found himself hitting the far wall with a loud thud. He groaned and struggled against the biggest rope netting he'd ever seen. He blinked, trying to get his vision to cooperate. When if finally cleared, his heart hit his toes. "KAREN!" he bellowed, as he watched a massive figure approach the wall she was clinging to. Karen stared in shock as a massive humanoid figure appeared out of an archway and walked towards her. She was at least 10 feet up the wall, and she was eye level with it. It had to be at least 11 feet tall. His skin was gray and mottled, the perfect camouflage against the rocks of the building. He had beady eyes, a large nose, and a mouth that hung open. His arms were disproportionate to his body, his knuckles almost dragging on the ground. His upper body was so massive, he looked like a triangle on stubbing legs. His arms were thicker than trees and veins throbbed through the skin. It wore only a dirty piece of cloth tied around its waist. As he approached, he lifted his head and sniffed loudly, making Theo curse vehemently as he struggled against the net. Karen stared as a weird smile broke out on the creature's face. He took another lumbering, shuffle step closer before his arm shot out impossibly fast and snatched her off the wall. Karen squeaked in protest as he held with up like a toddler with both hands, even though she would have fit in just one. "Theo!" she cried out as she struggled against the creature's grasp. Loud curses and snarls let her know that he was okay. "It'll be okay Karen, I just have to get out of this net." "Can't you gnaw through it or something?!?" she shrieked as the troll leaned in and sniffed her. Theo growled, he could change into his hybrid form, but he just got Karen to not be terrified of him. He struggled harder, trying to move towards an edge of the net. "No." he growled "If I shift into wolf form I'll get even more stuck," "Well hurry the fuck up!" she screamed as she continued to struggle. The beast grunted, that weird smile still on his face when he spoke a single, gravely word that froze her to her core. "Spyrim." he grunted, his voice sounding more like a rockslide than speech "Spyrim," he said again, with more enthusiasm. He reached out and ripped her shirt off, exposing her tattoo, and inhaling deeply again. "KAREN!" Theo called, frozen in fear, but there was nothing he could do as he watched in horror as the troll slowly licked her from her upper arm up her neck. She froze as her insides ignited, a soft moan escaping her lips. The creature let out a series of grunts that could only be laughter, as he started to continuously lick up and down her neck, shoulder and arm. Karen began to squirm for a different reason now, her moans falling freely, as the creature began to rip off the rest of her clothes. By the time the troll has her naked, she's delirious with need, her juices dripping down her legs. The troll continued to lick her as he ripped off his loincloth, revealing the biggest cock she had ever seen. "Oh god," she moaned as her inner muscles clenched against the emptiness inside her. The troll let up on his licking and brought her down until she was inches away from the monster dick. "Oh fuck," she moaned out, throwing her head back as the troll pressed her against the tip of his member. Her hips, moving on autopilot, instantly began to grind against the flesh between her legs. The troll let out a grunt, before sliding her down the length of his cock, coating himself in her juices. Again he pressed himself against her entrance, trying to force his massive member into the little female. Karen let out a wailing moan "Too much!" she cried "Too big!" as he tried again. Ignoring the female he had in his hands, or not understanding, he pushed harder. Finally, he pushed enough that just the tip of his massive member penetrated the tiny body. Karen let out a scream, in pain and pleasure, as she immediately came around the monster's cock. She went limp, her body twitching against the flesh inside her, her mind lost in a daze. She couldn't process the snarling and ripping sounds that seemed to come from miles away. The troll removed himself, her body making a soft popping noise as he broke free. Karen moaned again, her pleasure quickly building as the creature started licking her again. Suddenly, she was falling through the air, landing in a quivering heap. Not being able to process what happened, her fingers instantly went to her pulsing sex, trying to relieve the ache that had been started again. Theo couldn't stand any more once he saw the troll rip his loincloth off. Still he tried to get out of the net without shifting. It wasn't until he saw the troll penetrate his mate that he lost it and shifted to his hybrid form. Shredding the net was easy after that and he pounce on the creature, ripping his throat out within seconds. The creature fell dead, and Theo turned to Karen, his body reacting to seeing his mate writhing on the floor, her fingers working herself madly. He took a steadying breath, focusing his energy to shift back to a human when he heard his name moaned softly. He looked over to his mate, as she came around her fingers, his name falling from her lips. His wolf reacted instantly, reaching her in a single stride and scooping her up. Karen groaned at the new sensation of soft fur brushing over her highly sensitive skin. She rubbed against it inhaling the delicious scent of her man, as she moaned. "Theo," she opened her lust filled eyes and met his honey browns that were streaked with gold. In her state, she didn't realize that he was covered in fur, or 8 ft tall, with claws, and an elongated jaw, filled with huge teeth. "More." she begged. He growled, the vibrations rumbling into her small body. His impressive cock even larger in this form brushed against her sopping wet entrance. "We Ssschhouldn't." he ground out, his elongated jaws struggling with human speech. Karen just moaned and wrapped her legs around his waist, her slit brushing against his head again, making them both moan. "Oh yes, Theo. Please!" she begged and his control snapped. With a snarl, he sheathed his massive member to the hilt in one thrust. She came instantly as he breached her womb and hit the far end of it. The incredible pleasure of being so filled blotted out most of the pain she might have felt, and her whole body clamped down on him. The pain that was there, however, cleared some of the mindless lust away. As her body beared down on the intruder, she looked up to finally see the wolf-man she was impaled on. "Theo?" she asked softly, her eyes clearer. She smiled when he gave a jerky nod, moaning as his member twitched inside her. Theo looked down at her apprehensively. He could see the reason back in her eyes. He prepared himself for her rejection, knowing that she truly saw him in this form. Confusion, followed by extreme happiness, flooded through him as she moaned and moved slightly against him. "OH!" she sighed as she barely moved against him "You're so big... Uhn... I'm so full... hah... Jesus!" she ended abruptly, as her inner muscles spasmed against him. Theo growled and gripped her ass, his claws digging into her soft flesh. Slowly he lifted her off of his cock, mesmerized by the expression of bliss that covered her face. He pulled her completely off and paused in shock that such a little body could take his hybrid member. Karen squirmed at the emptiness, her fingers digging into the fur of his shoulders. "God Theo!" her hips jerked against air "Please." she moaned Theo groaned and shook his head "Don... wanna... hurd... oooouu." he said brokenly She looked at him, begging, "Please. I need it." He slowly started to enter her, panting from the effort. His mind more melded with his wolf in this form and all he wanted to do was take her ruthlessly. Finally, he was again seated fully inside her, his tip brushing her farthest wall. He groaned, his head thrown back. It was the best feeling he had ever felt. He repeated the agonizingly, slow process a few more times, feeling her orgasm build with each one. On the fourth, slow stroke, she broke, her body bearing down on him once again. Her orgasm was a soft rolling one that didn't take any edge off of her, only adding to it. She shook her head wildly, trying to roll her hips against him though he held her still. "More!" she begged Theo only shook his head no, his eyes glazed over slightly. "Theo!" she said desperately "Please, I need more!" "Won... hurd... oooouuu." he gasped, and he shook with effort as he began another slow withdrawal. She let out a desperate cry, her need for more driving her insane. *Show him how desperate you are* a soft sultry voice said in her mind *How?? * she moaned back. Suddenly, her desperation turning into a warmth that sat right behind her breastbone. *You have power, it is time you learned to use it purposefully. When you concentrate on an emotion hard enough, it will manifest, just like your frustration earlier, and you need now. Reach out to it, touch it, let it flow through you. Show him how much you need this. * Slowly, she reached inside her, connecting with the need. It slowly seeped out of her neck, down her arm, her tattoo lighting up as the need flowed past. "Aaaren?" He asked as he noticed her tattoo glowing, only his tip still in her. She moaned desperately, the warmth making it into her fingers. Slowly she buried her fingers in the fur of his chest. "Theo," she gasped, her body gripping his "I need," she basically sobbed the last word, letting the warmth flow from her hand into him. Theo snarled viciously as her desperate need slammed into him, shattering all but the tiniest control. His hands clenched tighter onto her hips, his claws drawing blood. His cock swelled even larger, and he slammed in back inside to the hilt. "Yessss!" she hissed her head thrown back "Take me!" He growled, low and deep, using the last shred of control to hold himself still inside her. "Ell me wha oouu eeed." he growled. He looked down at her, his glowing gold eyes taking on a hint of blue. Karen gasped at the ferocity of his gaze, she stared into his wolfish face, those intense gold blue eyes boring into her. She slowly looked down to his neck, where a faint blue caught her attention. She followed the thin line down his shoulder, his arm, to his wrist where there were bands of blue glowing through his fur. *How weird.* The thought was brief, barely flitting through her mind. "Aaaren." he growled, his body shaking from the effort of holding himself still. *Be honest* the voice in her head said softly "You," she said breathlessly, "I need you." Theo's snarl was vicious and sent her heart racing. He dropped to his knees, laying the female on the ground. He then hoisted her hips up, her ankles up on his chest. Karen cried out at the slightly deeper position and closed her eyes. Theo withdrew slowly, but quickly thrust himself back in, causing her whole body to move with the force. He growled more, coherent thought going out the window as he watched her body gladly accept all of his. "Schoo hot." he growled as he looked down at her, his eyes glazed over "Hmm?" Karen moaned her eyes opening slightly. "Can schee mee inschide oou." He ground out as he thrust again. Karen looked down and moaned, an orgasm hitting her from nowhere. As she watched, her normally flat stomach, bulged out as he thrust back into her. "Oh god," she moaned as her body clamped around him again. "More," she begged" I wanna watch it move." Theo didn't need any more encouragement. He began to thrust, hard and fast, as they both watched the bulge appear and disappear with each thrust. Karen lost herself in the pleasure, her right hand still buried in the fur of his chest, her powers flowing uncheck. He growled, his thrusts becoming harder and faster. He hitched her hips up more and leaned over her, bracing him on one arm over her shoulder as he pounded into her. Each thrust made contact with the far wall of her womb, driving them both crazy. Theo was losing himself and all control on himself and his wolf. In the back of his mind his wolf was going crazy, trying to tell him something. Suddenly his wolf got through to him, but he was slipping too fast. He knew that he was losing his hold on himself because of her powers. His orgasm built and his thrust turned erratic, his cock swelling at the base. "Aaren," he gasped "Et go." he tried to remove her hand, but it was clamped tight. She was lost as she quickly approached the edge again as he drilled into her. "Aaaren,' he growled, desperate, but he couldn't stop it as he wolf surged forward. Even his wolf was hesitant, sending Theo desperate pictures of the massive knot that was going to form. "Theo." she moaned as she looked up at him. He sucked in a sharp breath, his heart clenching. Shining in her eyes was deep, pure, love. Both wolf and man made an agreement. They needed to talk about this anyway. Might as well do it while she couldn't get away. He made one more desperate plea, "Ett go." as he tugged on her hand. Her pleasure ramped up a notch however, and as it flowed from her to him, he lost all control. "Closche." he growled, leaning down gently taking the juncture of her neck and throat in his jaws as he pounded into her. "Yes!" she cried, her body starting to shake "cum with me!" He growled against her skin, biting down gently. He felt her climb to the point of no return as his knot began to form. Karen gasped loudly and tried to look at where their bodies joined. She groaned as the base of Theo's cock continued to swell. She gasped and groaned as Theo forced the swelling inside her with each thrust. "Ah...Ah..." she gasped, almost scooting back from him as her orgasm built past the edge. Suddenly she was thrown to a whole new edge, her orgasm hanging by a thread. She arched her back, her mouth hanging open. Theo gently bit her mark, bruising, but not piercing. As she shattered, he slammed himself inside, forcing the whole knot in, as his own orgasm painted the walls of her womb. Karen screamed, her orgasm starting all over again, ramping up in intensity with each wave of cum that was shot into her. The growth also grew to its final size, rubbing against her g-spot with each short thrust from Theo. That, plus all of the cum that was now inside her made her feel incredibly full. Finally, Theo stopped cumming, but every time he moved, his knot sent her into another orgasm. Theo laid them down, laying on his back, letting the tiny female collapse onto of him. Slowly, she started to come down, her body still convulsing every once in a while. "So full." she groaned and tried to pull away to relieve the pressure. She yelped and shuddered when she felt a sharp pain where they were connected. "Wha??" she asked dazed as she looked down where they were connected, before feeling with her hand where they were joined. "It's a knot." Theo said softly, his voice like gravel as he shifted back to human though his cock stayed the same. Karen felt again and moaned that the feel of a thick, ball-like shape pushed against her lower lips. Theo's member twitched at the touch and she moaned again, pushing her body against his. They both groaned and Theo had to grab her hips to hold her still. "We need to talk about this," he panted, hesitantly. Karen tried to blink away the pleasure and nodded. "Okay," she nodded again and sat up, straddling him so it wouldn't move so much. She waved a hand at him "You talk. I need a few minutes." Theo gently ran his hands up her thighs and rubbed circles into her hip bones, trying to find the words to say. He swallowed a few times and started to speak but stopped, signing. Even in her dazed state, Karen realized this was serious, and her heart plummeted to her stomach. "Theo?" she asked, her voice cracking. She couldn't handle anything bad. She couldn't go without him again. Her heart broke, was he going to reject her now too? Was this all payback? "What is it?" He draped an arm over his eyes, keeping his other one firmly on her waist. Karen swallowed audibly. "In the werewolf community, when two wolves find the one they are supposed to be with, forever, they mate. Mating is for life, it's where the term soul mate comes from because once you mate, your souls connect." He pushed and sucked in a breath as Karen heart sunk lower. "You have a mate don't you?" she asked, her voice quivering. He moved his arm away and looked at her seriously, this conversation was not going the way he wanted it to. "Yes." he said slowly, continuing to speak to keep her from asking more questions. "When a couple finds each other, they know instantly. A huge celebration is thrown, think of a wedding, and the two wolves join for the first time at the ceremony. It's during that joining the male will knot the female and place his mark on her." looking at her pointedly. Changed Ch. 10 "But," she stammered "Aren't we joined now?" A soft smile spread across his face and he looked up at her with a love that took her breath away. "Yes." "But you already have a mate!" she accused angrily. His smile grew, then he tried to turn serious "Yes I do. It's a shame though," she glared at him in disbelief "She's not a wolf, so she doesn't sense the bond mate." his eyes twinkled up at her. "Wait," she said slowly, realization dawning on her "I'm... I'm your mate?" she asked hesitantly. Theo simply nodded "Oh." she said softly, a blush creeping over her. She wasn't expecting that kind of admission. She was expecting to be the other woman in some weird love triangle. The idea that Theo thought of her as his soul mate was a heavy thought to bear, so she quickly changed the subject. "This knot," she said hastily, "is it like what wolves in the wild do?" "Mmhmm." he said, his eyes still twinkling. "Don't they get stuck for like, hours? To ensure the female gets pregnant?" Karen's voice cracked on the last word. Theo chuckled softly "Yes, the more powerful the wolf, the longer the pair is bound together, and yes, it is to ensure a litter sticks." "ohmygodamIgoingtogetpregnant?!?" she said in one quick breath. "No." he answered "At least I'm pretty positive you won't." As he immediately sat up, pushing himself further inside and they both groaned. "Fuck me." he muttered gripping her close as he shuddered slightly. "I already have," she replied breathlessly "And now we're stuck together for god knows how long, with the possibilities of me getting pregnant." He chuckled again "I really don't think you'll get pregnant." he said, "It's the mark that binds the two sides together, which is what allows for pregnancy. Unmated wolves can't get pregnant" "So..." she trailed off "We're not mated then?" Theo pretended like he didn't hear the disappointment in her voice. "Not right now. I didn't mark you. We're only half way mated I guess" he said with his crooked smile. "So, what would have to happen to get the rest of the way mated?" Theo shrugged, a thoughtful look crossing his face. "I'm not sure. With wolves, they bite each other right... here..." he leaned in and kissed her where her neck met her shoulder and she shuddered, letting out a soft moan. "Do you not know what will happen between a wolf and a not wolf?" she asked, cringing at how awkward that sounded. "Nope. As far as I know, there haven't been any non-wolf mates. You're the first one." he gave her a beaming smile "I fought my wolf the whole time once he claimed you, yet the more time I spent with you the more I realized he was right. I was finally convinced the night of your last trial. Your Spyrim-half helped too. She said that she had chosen me as your bond mate as well. She even marked me though you can't see them until we've mated, or you use your power on me." He gave her a naughty smile "Speaking of which. Next time you wanna use your power on me, let me know." She gave him a sheepish smile and shrugged lamely. "So you got visited by my Spyrim half huh? and she marked you?" She asked skeptically. Though in her mind she remembered the glowing mark that appeared on his arm. *I did* the Spyrim said "You what?!?" Karen shouted out loud. " You could have let me know" *I knew you loved him, and he proved himself both as a guardian and as an equal. Of course, this was before his slip up, but as far as I'm concerned, that's been handled.* Karen groaned and Theo chuckled, pretending she hadn't screamed that out loud She crossed her arms and looked down at him thoughtfully. "Do you love me?" she asked. Theo looked her straight in the eye and cupped her cheek "With every fiber of my being." he said honestly. She studied him for a while, from his honey brown eyes to the soft smile on his lips. How had she'd gone from hating him to loving him in the same day? *Because, you never hated him* the Spyrim said *you were hurt and confused, granted you had every reason to be, but you also lashed out, just like his wolf did. You've loved him this whole time. It's just been hard to see it with how wild your emotions have been. He's been struggling with the same issues. He know's you're his mate, and he's been split on how to handle it. I mean, he's second in command, and yet, you've never seen him be that wolf because he's been so focused on you. Now that you two are finally together, I have a feeling things will go back to a relative normal. But don't worry, you'll like him when he's back in his Beta mode. He's extremely sexy and in control. It's pretty hot.* Karen gently worried her lower lip and Theo groaned. " You're so sexy when you do that." he said softly. She blushed a little harder and stopped biting her lip, but she nodded as if she had made up her mind. "Okay," she said. "Okay what?" he said looking at her with laughter in his eyes. "Okay," she said nodding slowly, hesitantly "We're mates." Theos throat went dry. "What?" his voice cracked, he hadn't expected her to accept him that fast, not after how much he had fucked up. "I'm agreeing with being mates. You as a whole have chosen me, and half of me has chosen you, so I am also... choosing... you," She trailed off as he stared at her in disbelief. "I'm still pissed at you for attacking me though," she added hastily. "And for snooping in my office!" she tacked on. "Please, dear god," he groaned out ignoring her last comment "Please don't play with me Karen. I know you're still mad, but please don't play about being mates." She smiled a soft smile and touched his cheek "I said it before in the bathroom, and I'll say it again. I wouldn't play with you like that." her sentence ended in a groan, as she felt his softening member go rock hard inside her. He cupped her face in his hands and stared deep into her eyes, his breathing heavy. "I love you Karen DeRusse," he said, before pouring all of his love into a single kiss. Karen moaned and poured all of hers into her response. The kiss quickly turned hotter, both of them grabbing at each other like they had never laid in each others arms. Moaning, Karen pressed herself against him, the giant knot inside her pressing against her g-spot. Theo began thrust into her, short, yet powerful thrusts as she shuddered above him. "I don't want to only be half mated." she moaned breathlessly. "Me either," he groaned back "But the whole mating thing has to wait til we get back to the compound." Karen groaned in disappointment, but that was soon eased as she quickly climbed to her peak again. "I'm close," she moaned, "I want you to cum with me again." Theo groaned and quickened his thrusts, his own orgasm quickly approaching as well. "Yes, baby," he breathed "Oh yes, shatter around me" She let out a low moan as she clamped around him, sending him spiraling into his own orgasm, as he painted her womb again. "Fuck!" she cried as each spurt sent her orgasm spinning out of control again. Theo just grunted into her shoulder as he held her tight. "I love you." he whispered in her ear, as he laid back down, taking her with him. "I love you too." she said with a smile. Her heart bursting with love, a feeling she wasn't sure she would ever feel again. Changed Ch. 11 Theo jumped up and looked wildly around the small plane, a scream had jolted him awake. He quickly rushed over to Karen's side where she thrashed in her seat. "Hey, hey," He whispered softly, his hands framing her face as he knelt beside her. She woke with a start, eyes wide. She let out a shuddering breath and leaned into his arms. "I'm sorry," she said shakily, backing up just a little to look him in the eyes. Theo scoffed slightly and brought her close again "You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for, Lass," he let his hand travel in comforting circles on her back. "Was it the same nightmare?" Karen only nodded. Ever since the troll, she had been having nightmares. It was usually the same thing too, some big, horrible creature, sometimes the troll, sometimes something else would come, grab her and take away her control by abusing her mark. It made her feel vulnerable, weak, and it also made her feel bad because every time Theo got close to her mark, she'd flinch. "We'll figure it out, Love," he whispered softly as he unbuckled her belt, lifted her up, and then sat them both down in the same seat. " we'll figure it out," ***** "KAREN!!" Becca screamed as she ran and hugged her friend as she got out of the car. "I MISSED YOU!!" Karen laughed and hugged her friend back. "I missed you too!! We have so much to talk about!" she said as she held up the bag that held the four books they retrieved from the ruins. "Yeah we do! And not about the books." Becca said beaming, giving a knowing, yet confused look between the two travelers. " But first, you need a shower." Karen just laughed harder, grabbing her pack out of the jeep. Becca linked arms with her and practically dragged her to the duplex. Still laughing, Karen turned and gave a small wave to Theo who just stood by the jeep shaking his head with a smile. As they walked in, Becca took the giant pack, tossing it aside. She then whirled on Karen, grabbing her shoulders and shook her in excitement. "So?!" she asked, "What the hell happened between you and Screw Up? I thought for sure you were going to come home and be furious with me." Karen laughed as she was shaken "I'm not going to lie," she said her laughter dying down a bit "When I first found out, I was pretty pissed. But, I'm not such a horrible friend to be mad at you when your mom is sick!" She gave her friend a concerned look. "How is she by the way?" Becca let out an exasperated sigh and rolled her eyes, "She'll be fine. She's just really old and forgets that she shouldn't eat grapes, or chocolate. Unfortunately, one of her favorite snacks is chocolate covered raisins." "Well, I'm glad she's okay. I was worried it was something really bad and you wouldn't be coming back until much later." Becca shrugged, she smile fading "I am going to be going and living with her for a while, She's going through the wolf version of menopause and it's going to make her kind of crazy for a while. But" she said brightly "I'll be around for a few more months and will come back to visit. Then I'll be back for good when she's all clear. I don't really want to talk about though, I want to know what happened in the jungle!" Karen stepped back, bending down to take off her boots, trying to hide the blush that was creeping over her face and said nothing. "Kaareeen" Becca whined "Tell meee" "Ugh! Becca!" she responded with a laugh, looking up at her best friend. "Pleeeaasse?" Karen rolled her eyes and started up the stairs with Becca on her heals. She went to the bathroom and turned on the shower, stripping out of her dirty worn traveling gear. "What do you want to know," she asked as she stepped into the shower, leaving Becca leaning against the sink "Everything," she gushed. "I can smell him all over you!" Karen groaned again, part from embarrassment and part from the feeling of the warm running water. "I was furious with him for the first part of the journey. Then one night he came back from getting firewood and saw me trying to clean my arm." "I had noticed it was healed," Becca said knowingly Karen just grunted and continued "Yeah, he apologized and I blew up at him. He explained why his wolf did what he did. I agreed to let him heal my arm, it was a bitch to keep clean," "I bet," "Anyways, after that, he stayed in wolf form and asked forgiveness, I guess. He laid down and whimpered a lot. He was just so," she paused and sighed "cute and pathetic that I forgave his wolf half." "But not the human half?" Becca said chuckling. "Nope!" She stuck her head out from the curtain "Not that he wasn't also cute and pathetic, he just didn't have a good excuse." Becca laughed again and urged her to go on. "Still, I wasn't quite as mad as I was before. I actually started to talk to him as we walked, empty stupid stuff, but it was still something. Then we hit a road, and it was like a switch was flipped. I don't remember a whole lot after that, but we ended up in the ruins of the library and the small village that was there. Being in those ruins," she paused, glad the shower was running to hide the waiver in her voice "I was like I knew everything like I had lived there myself. I knew who lived in what house, which roads lead where. It was weird and unsettling. I was scared. Yet, when I looked at Theo, I wasn't so scared anymore. His presence filled me with strength. You can't be mad at someone, and lean on them to help you get through a difficult situation." She shrugged and trailed off, scrubbing her arms to get the ingrained dirt off. Becca paused for a few seconds and shifted a couple times. "So what happened then? Obviously you found the books." "Yeah," Karen said quietly, a waiver starting in her voice, "We also found, what was it? A rock troll? I think that's what Theo called it." Becca hissed through her teeth. "Yeah," Karen said with a something that could have either been a chuckle or a sob. "I was climbing down a wall when it threw a big ass net at Theo and trapped him. He also knew what a Spyrim was. Needless to say, he got a hold of me and things got really weird, really fast." "Oh my god," Becca said from behind her hand which was covering her face, she moved and stuck her head around the shower curtain. "Did... did it..." she trailed off not knowing how to ask. "Yeeeaaahh," Karen said, shrugging and shaking her head, tears brimming. "It knew how to use my mark against," she took a shuddering breath, " There wasn't anything I could do. It completely stripped away my will, my choice. Needlessly to say, I was fucked up which made Theo go berserk," she climbed out of the shower, wrapping up in the towel Becca offered her. "So what happened?" Becca whispered as her friend dried off. Karen turned a bright shade of red "Well," she said trying to keep her voice even " Once I was basically mindless, it tried its damnedest to get inside, but it was just too big. All it managed was the tip, but it was enough and Theo shifted to his hybrid form and killed it," Becca nodded, not sure what else to say, so she switched gears slightly. "So did his Hybrid form scare you?" Karen let out a small smile. " at first, I was too mindless with need to really care, I just wanted a cock in me, " Becca scowled, and gently grabbed her friend's shoulders, "Theo had sex with you after what happened with the troll?" Karen smiled a little bit bigger, " I don't think he could help it, I was begging for him, by name, he tried his absolute hardest to resist, to be gentle, but I wasn't having it. When he finally did break and he took me, it was slow and my head cleared. I was able to see him in that form without lust, and I still knew it was him, and I still wanted him. God, the way he filled me was, absolutely sinful," Becca grunted, but it was clear the Karen was okay with what had happened after the troll was killed. Then Karen's words sunk in, "Wait, you and Theo had sex while he was in hybrid form?" "Mmhmm" Becca just started at her, mouth open, "So... wait... how..." she sputtered. "Well, when a mommy loves a daddy," Karen said sarcastically "She gets impaled on a massive human/wolf hybrid's cock, and then gets stuck there." Becca stared at her, eyes even wider "For hours." Karen ground out. Becca just stared at her friend in shock, the realization of what happened sinking in. "Oh my god!" she whispered, her mouth turning up in a grin " OH, my god!" She looked at Karen in disbelief "OH MY GOD!" she screamed "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Karen simply nodded, her own face breaking out in a smile. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!?!" Becca continued to scream, her hands on the top of her head. Karen gave her a look "Yes. I am well aware of what it means," her blush darkened "We had hours to talk about it while I was stuck." Becca let out another scream and violently hugged her friend. Karen laughed, letting the excitement wash through her, taking away the dark feelings left by the troll. They hugged for a bit, before Karen untangled herself and finished drying off. They continued to talk as she went into the bedroom and got on a pair of fresh jammies. As they went down the stairs, a throat was cleared, stopping their conversation. Karen's smile turned mushy, which made Becca laugh as she launched herself at the figure leaning on the wall at the bottom of the stairs. "I'm so excited!" she squealed as she hugged Theo, who was also freshly showered. He chuckled, and set her down, his eyes locking onto the tiny woman on the stairs "Yeah, me too." Karen blushed again, and she resigned herself to the fact that her face was going to be perpetually red for the next couple days. "What are you doing here?" she asked and she finished the descent. "I heard the screaming." He grabbed Becca and gave her a nuggie "I was just checking to see if everything is alright." Becca growled and struggled, finally breaking free. She gave a big sigh and turned to Karen who was concentrating a little too hard on making tea. "So..." she said hesitantly "Does this mean you're moving out?" "What?!" Karen shrieked, accidentally dropping a mug which shattered. She let out a string of curses as she tried to clean up the mess in a fluster. She started to answer, but all that came out was a stutter that caused both wolves to chuckle. "Not yet," Theo's deep voice came to her rescue as he moved to help her clean up the mess. "That will have to wait till after the ceremony," he gazed down at her, eyes twinkling. "THE CEREMONY!" Becca screamed again and jumped around like a puppy "CAN I HELP PLAN?!?!" This lead to more chuckles and Karen just nodded, which lead to more bouncing. "I'm going to go." Theo said quietly in her ear "My door is open if you want to come over and..." he kissed her cheek "Spend the night, maybe." his crooked grin made her knees weak. She simply blushed and nodded. Unable to take her eyes off the incredible back that walked out of the kitchen and then the door. Becca stopped bouncing and leaned her chin on her hands on the breakfast counter. "I'm so glad you guys made up. It's every wolves dream to find their mate. I'm so happy for you!" Karen just laughed and blushed harder. "Thank you. But can we talk about something else now? I'm pretty sure my face is going to break." Becca laughed and nodded, switching the conversation to what to eat for dinner and what movie they were going to watch. Hours later, Karen found herself sitting on the bed, staring at the books that she had brought home. She wanted to read them so bad, but at the same time she was also afraid of what they may reveal. She chewed on her lip a little, then scooped them up and crept outside. She had barely raised her hand to knock when the door in front of her opened. "The door's open, Sweetness," his deep voice rolled over her "You never need to knock." She blushed again "How did you know?" He shrugged and stepped aside letting her in "I had a feeling you might come over," She gave him a look, which earned her a crooked grin and a kiss on the forehead "I was getting some water and I heard your front door open and close. I also knew that you wouldn't just walk in, so I got the door." "Ah," she said shuffling the books in arms as well as her feet. Theo just looked at her expectantly, a soft smile touching his lips. "I... uh.. I couldn't sleep" she blushed some more it was weird going from wild and crazy emotions that she couldn't understand to soft, deep emotions that were perfectly clear. "I wanted to go through the books, but..." she trailed off as Theo chuckled, taking the books from her. "It's okay, love," He gave her a one-armed hug "We'll go through them together." She smiled up at him, her relief written all over her expressive face. Together they walked into the living room, where Theo laid the books onto the coffee table. He quickly moved to the fireplace, expertly coaxing a fire to start in no time. Then he turned to her, his heart thudding in his chest as the shadows played across her face. "What?" She asked softly, sitting on the edge of his plush leather couch. "Nothing," he smiled at her "You're just so beautiful." She gave him a soft smile and blushed again. "Wait here," he said quietly, disappearing into the kitchen. Karen stared at the books that were laid out on the table. Inside their leather bound exteriors, was the whole history of the Spyrim race, was her whole history, and even words from a mother she never knew. Her eyes locked onto the smallest, darkest book. The chestnut leather so dark with age, it was almost black. The longer she looked at the tiny book, the harder her heart pounded against her ribs, the higher her anxiety rose. "Hey now," a gentle voice broke through her rising panic. She looked up as he crouched in front of her, his hands on her knees. His warm honey brown eyes filled with love and strength. "Everything is going to be alright, sweetest," he said with a soft smile, one hand coming up to cup her cheek. Karen let out a shaky breath and nodded, a tiny smile appearing on her face. "I'm sorry," she said quietly, her smile growing when he handed her a huge mug of hot chocolate. "Don't be," He sighed contentedly as he sunk into the plush leather beside her. "I can't even begin to imagine what must be going through you mind right now little one." He pulled the coffee table close to them, allowing easy access to the books. He looked at her with a sparkle in his eye. "Which one do you want to start with?" Karen took a deep breath and reached out, grabbing the first book of the Spyrim history. "We may as well start at the very beginning," she said softly, letting the large brown tome open in her lap. Her breath caught at how beautifully the book was written, how the pictures on the page seemed to jump out at her. She was also shocked at how well it had stood up to the test of time. She knew these books must be hundreds of years old, if not thousands. She carefully flipped to the first page in the book, a large, intricately drawn 'I' taking up most of the page. "Ready?" she asked looking up at Theo and the excitement in his eyes. He simply nodded, not wanting his words to ruin the moment for her. She took a steadying breath, and then another, and another. His soft chuckle startled her, as he gently took the book from her lap to his. She gave him a small smile, half annoyed and half grateful that he could read her so easily. "In the beginning," he began quietly... *There was nothing. Then, one by one, the gods gained consciousness after being encased in slumber for eons. For millennia, they were content to be among themselves and the dark, lifeless worlds that surrounded them. But gods are fickle beings, and soon they grew weary of each other. The first, and most powerful god, Omnia, gave her children free reign on one of the barren worlds around them. It has an element for each of her children. Her eldest born, Aquan, immediately went to the waters, while his first brother Terran went to the barren land. His second brother, Ignan, buried himself inside the world, hiding from his other siblings. The youngest and the only sister Aeris took to the sky, flitting about on the winds. Each child was content with shaping their domain, Aquan making deep and shallow seas, Terran making mountains, forests, and even deserts, Aeris made clouds and wind, while Ignan sat deep inside the center of the world, giving his fire to keep the world turning and alive. Again they were content, and again they grew bored. One day, Aquan grabbed a handful of the finest sand in the sea. He gently blew a stream of water through his hands, and each grain of sand turned into a creature of the sea. Terran, entertained by what his brother did, grabbed a handful of mud and compressed it in his hand, drying it into a harden clay ball. He then shattered the ball into tiny pieces that became the creatures of the earth. Aeris delighted at all the creatures and went to her brothers. She borrowed a bit of sand and a bit of mud from each of them. She then flew up into her world of clouds and mixed the sand and mud with a handful of cloud. She gently blew into her own handful, creating creatures that could survive in all three domains. The three siblings laughter at the new found entertainment alerted Ignan, who peaked out from his shelter. Wanting to join his siblings, to be included in their fun, he grabbed a handful of molten rock, cooling it instantly. He then took the black shiny piece of glass and crushed it to dust in his hands. As each particle of dust his the hot floor of his home, it turned into a different kind of insect. He made his creatures more abundant that his siblings, but also smaller, for his intent was to provide his siblings creatures with food. He let the earth fissure where his siblings were gathered, letting his creations into the world. He followed them out, excited at seeing his siblings faces. The look of horror that was plastered on, cut him deeply. Only Aeris the peacekeeper tried to hide it. She smiled tightly at him as he explained that his creatures were there for the benefit of theirs, that he just wanted to help. To his dismay, however, his brothers berated him for making such gross things. Battling down his hurt, he retreated to his underground home. Again Millennia past, and as was expected the three siblings grew bored with the life they had created. Aeris was the first to make a new creature, in a likeness of herself. She laughed joyously as fairies came to life, flitting about through the world. Terran and Aquan were so entertained that they also created creatures to match hers. Out of the sea came the nymphs, and with Aquan being generous, they were allowed to choose what element they would take. Terran created trolls, allowing them to take whatever form of earth they wanted. Ignan watched in hatred. All of his pain from the last rejection turning to anger. He also created a new creature, but one that wouldn't frolic in the day, but would thrive at night. His small, little white creatures would live off of the creatures of his brothers. 'Vampires' he called them, and they soon wrecked havoc onto the world above. The brothers grew furious, planning to exact revenge, but Aeris stopped them. She instead made Ignan a gift. She made him special fairies to flutter about at night, just for him. His temper was soothed slightly, but he still did not take his creatures away. Terran, tired of trying to play nice with his youngest brother created a new creature, to counteract the vampires. He gave birth to massive wolves who would hunt the small, white nightmarish creatures. Seeing this as an act of war, Ignan changed his creatures, giving them impossible strength, speed, sight, smell, and hearing. He also morphed them from the small, white creatures to creatures in his image. Following his lead, Terran granted his wolves a form in his likeness as well, giving them enhanced senses and strength. For centuries the wolves and vampires fought. Changed Ch. 11 Aeris, her heart broken at the destruction going on in the world went to Aquan. Together they created the Spyrim. A creature that could control the emotions of other, that could breed with any other to help a population stay strong, that could help bring the world back in balance. Their creature was too late, however. The destruction and chaos caused by the war had alerted their mother. Omnia quickly intervened, taking a portion of every child's creatures, stripping away any powers and gifts. She called this new creature man and declared that he would take over the world. She then banned her children, removing their ability to create any more. However, before she left as well, she looked at the Spyrim. Impressed with this creature, she elevated them to a status even greater than man. The Spyrims were considered the peacekeepers of this world and they were to intervene any time one of the other creatures got out of hand. She also granted them the power to merge two already existing creatures to create a new one. This was the only way that new creatures could me made. It was many centuries later that the creatures of this planet grew sentient and aware of each other. Many went into hiding to avoid man. Not because he was more powerful, but he outnumbered them all. Many creatures also rebelled against the Spyrim, and their special powers. Being the peacekeepers we are, we stepped back, only intervening when creatures were on the brink of extinction. This is our history from that point on. The first Spyrim city was built in 4th winter since the leave of the gods. The city was used primarily as a center of knowledge for all to come and learn. It was built in a dense, tropical, jungle, far away from any human settlements. The ruler at the time was Mondefate, born of the first wave of the golden ones, leader of knowledge, keeper of...* Theo's head dropped to his chest, jolting him back awake. He looked over at the warm weight on his shoulder. A soft smile touched his lips as he looked down into Karen's sleeping face. He didn't know when she had fallen asleep, but he looked down at the book in his hand. He had gotten half-way through. The first bit of history, explaining the creation of everything on earth was interesting, but it quickly faded away to who ruled when, and long lists of titles and boring politics that have long since been buried. He looked down at Karen again, a soft chuckle being ripped from him. She must have fallen asleep a while ago, judging by the large, wet spot at the corner of her mouth. He quickly slipped a napkin between the brittle pages and looked at the clock on the mantle about the dying fire. 4:36 am. He groaned softly and ran a hand over his face and then through his hair. "Hey," he said softly, gently moving a stray piece of hair behind her ear. She groaned softly, blearily blinking up at him. "What time is is?" She asked rubbing her eyes. "Late," he basically whispered, maneuvering her so that he could easily scoop her up in his arms. "Let's go to bed," She just grumbled softly and snuggled back into his chest, falling back asleep instantly. He quickly took them upstairs, gently depositing the little female in his giant bed. He smiled at how tiny she was in it, absently rubbing his chest. He still wasn't used to the warmth that settled over his heart when he looked at her. He quickly took care of his business getting ready for bed. He let out a soft chuckle when he came back and she was already buried underneath the blanket, holding onto one of his pillows. He carefully climbed into bed, breathing deeply letting her sweet scent wash over him. He let out a contented sigh, his chest acting up again as she immediately cuddled into his chest as soon as he laid down. He kissed the top of her head, wrapping his arms around her and falling asleep within seconds. **** Karen woke the next day feeling better rested that she had in weeks, she could already feel herself returning to normal, her emotions back in check, minus the one weird warm spot right over her chest. Even the blackness of what had happened seemed to be diminishing as the forest turned into just a memory. She snuggled into the warmth against her, smiling at the fact that she wasn't even surprised that she was in his bed. She chuckled softly, her heart light as he let out a deep rumble and quickly wrapped an arm around her, pulling her tightly to him. "Good morning," She said softly. He grunted at her, opening one eye to peer down at her "Morning," he said roughly, his voice sending a shiver down her spine. He closed his eye and she chuckled again, sliding a leg in between his. He groaned softly, rolling onto his back pulling her with so she ended up halfway on top of him. He let his hand run gently up and down her sides as he luxuriated in her being near him. He let out a harsh hiss as he felt her delicate lips brush gently against his chest. "Yer gonna kill me, Lass," he rumbled deeply, dragging her on top of him. The both groaned softly as their bodies made contact. "Do you always sleep naked?" she asked as she looked up at him. He simply rumbled back at her, his brain still foggy with sleep. She smiled at him with hooded eyes, causing him to groan again. Her lips began their tantalizing dance across his chest again. "Karen," He said gruffly, his breath catching as her kisses began to move down his stomach. He didn't want her to feel like she owed him or push her too far. He knew she was still dealing with the trauma dealt by the troll. "Hmm?" she asked, letting out a throaty laugh as his cock jerked against her, lightly tapping her neck, before continuing her tortuous descent. Theo simply growled, sliding his hand into her hair. "Wait," he said with a harsh breath "You don't have to do anything. I know that you might still have... " he hesitated, unsure of how to go on. "It's okay, " she said softly, her smile fading a tad. "What happened with the troll was bad, really bad, but, I'm choosing to not let it control me, I'm choosing to put it behind me. We've learned from it. Now we know that my mark is a huge weakness. The only concern I have about it now is working on turning it into less of a weakness. Now, hush and let me have my fun," His breath hissed out explosively as she gently kissed the head of his large member. Spurred on by his reactions, she slowly engulfed his head in her mouth, letting her tongue swirl around it. She let out a soft moan as the hand in her hair pushed her mouth lower on his shaft. She let him dictate the pace, moaning softly as he moved her mouth for her. "Oh, fuck baby," he groaned, the feel of her delicate mouth was driving him insane. Karen simply moaned louder, his strokes deepening until he was bottoming out with each one. Soon, his breathing was growing harsh, and she began to swallow around the massive member. "Karen," he grunted in warning as he felt his balls tighten. She pushed herself all the way down, her nose buried against his abdomen. She worked her throat around him as he swelled. With a shout, his thick spurts were shooting down her throat. She pulled back, catching the last few pumps on her tongue, savoring his tangy, salty taste. "Best alarm clock ever," he said roughly, his breathing slowly returning to normal as he dragged her back up his body to kiss her. Karen simply giggled as she wiggled out of his arms, a new found energy demanding that she move. "I'm glad you think so," she said as she walked out of the bedroom. "Second door on the left," Theo called when he realized she was probably going to the bathroom. He heard her muffled thanks and waited to hear the shower turn on. A couple minutes had gone by when her head peeked back into the doorway. "So," she drawled out, a light pink blush staining her cheeks "Most people have a shower, not a computer," She had entered a bathroom that was bigger than her old bedroom and was awestruck. Taking up a whole wall was a massive shower covered in stones with huge glass doors. There was also a mini swimming pool on the other wall, complete with hundreds of jets. She wanted to test it out but figured a shower would be quicker until she realized there were no knobs, just a small black screen off to the side. There was no way she was going to mess with it on her own so she went back to get him. He chuckled and got out of bed, his eyes glued to her silk covered ass as they made their way back to the bathroom. "It's easy once you know how to work it," he said as he went over to the control panel on the wall tapping buttons to start the giant shower. Karen just stared as water started to flow from all directions inside the large stone covered alcove. "There's water coming out of the walls," she said her eyes wide as she turned back to Theo. He just gave her a smug smile before pulling her to him and claiming her mouth with his. She immediately melted against him, returning his kiss with fervor. Before she knew it, he had stripped her bare and was slowly walking her towards the large glass door. She broke the kiss and entered into the warm spray of water. "I'm assuming you want to help me?" she asked seductively as she ran her hands through her, now wet, hair. Theo just growled softly, stalking towards her, hints of gold flashing through his eyes. Karen let out a small squeak as she was quickly grabbed again, and let out another giggle. "I'll assume that's a yes," she sighed out as his lips trailed along her neck to her shoulder. She stiffened, a bolt of fear coursing through her as he moved to her left side. "Karen?" he whispered quietly, immediately freezing where he was. "It's okay," she breathed out, her voice just a little shaky, "Make me forget what it did, replace those memories with new ones, better ones," she ended firmly. Theo didn't hesitate, he wanted to help her in any way, and if that's what she wanted, then that's what she'd get. She moaned loudly and her knees quaked as his tongue snaked out and traced her mark. She let out another soft moan as her back connected with one of the walls, warm water shooting out against her spine. Theo growled softly again, her little noises driving him insane, as he continued to lick her mark down her shoulder to her full, perky breast. "Oh Theo, " she moaned, threading her fingers through his short hair, her head falling back against the wall as he began to lick and tease her nipple. He moved between both nipples with his mouth while using his hand to tweak the nipple that was was bare. He stayed there for what seemed like an eternity, leaving Karen in a haze, her juices freely running. She let out a startled, breathy moan as he quickly dropped to his knees, hooking one of her legs over his shoulder and spreading her open. Without a second thought, he licked her from bottom to top. Karen let out a shrill scream, and she shattered around his tongue as he thrust it into her depths. He continued to lick her in long, languorous strokes, loving the way she quivered above him. "Please," she moaned as her hips jerked against him. "I need more." He growled softly, his tongue moving to lash against her clit furiously. She came again in seconds, crying out his name as her fingers dug into his scalp. He stood up, still holding onto the leg that was hooked over his shoulder. He lifted her up, his other arm encircling her waist while her back was still pressed against the wall. "As you wish," he ground out before sheathing himself in one thrust. They both groaned as their bodies connected. Quickly he captured her lips in a searing kiss as he began to slowly stroke himself in and out of her tight wetness. Karen clung to him as he stole her breath, each stroke slowly erasing the black spot in her mind and pushing her higher. "Theo" she pleaded, her breath coming in short pants. He made a subtle shift in her position his allowing him to reach even deeper than before. "God," he groaned as he gazed at the woman who was wrapped around him. Her lust filled gaze tugged on his control. He wanted to take his time, enjoy exploring her body, but he could feel her need radiating. "Let me feel your need," he said, as he picked up the pace a notch. Karen moaned and smiled, her eyes flashing blue as her tattoo lit up. "You sure?" she asked in a sultry voice, the Spyrim side riding right under the surface. "Yes," he hissed, suddenly wanting nothing more than to feel what she was feeling. He cried out as her hand met his chest, her power flowing through him, blindsiding him with her need. His cock swelled and lengthened, his body suddenly shifting to its hybrid form as his wolf rose to meet the needs of his mate. Theo growled deep in his chest, as his control snapped. He started a punishing pace, both of their cries echoing around the large bathroom. Yet through the haze of pleasure, Karen couldn't help but notice the blue lines that appeared through his fur. Gently, she traced one of the blue lines with her fingertips, wondering at how soft his fur was, even when wet. Theo groaned and stopped, holding himself buried deep within his woman. She let out a breathy laugh and retraced the same line, as he shuttered, his eyes squeezed shut. "Is it sensitive, Love?" she asked coyly. He growled at her, his lips barring his elongated teeth before resuming his punishing pace. She moaned wantonly as she was pounded into the wall. She wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him close, her head resting on his shoulder. "Oh, yes, Baby" she moaned softly into his ear as he surged within her and her nipples grazed against his hairy chest. She cried out, shattering around him as he gently grazed her mark with his teeth. "Two can play at that game now," she panted, hitting him with another dose of her power, making his mark flare to life again. He snarled at her, his hips picking up even more speed as he lost control of himself. His hands on her ass gripped so hard that he drew blood again. He let out a roar, his body going completely stiff as he was thrown over the edge by her small, pink tongue as it licked along the line running from his shoulder to his neck. He slammed them both into the wall as he pushed his knot into her, his hot, thick cum painted her insides. The intensity of his orgasm, and the giant knot being pushed into her caught Karen by surprise, and as his cum filled her, she was quickly thrown over the edge as well, joining him in bliss. After what seemed like an eternity, Theo floated back down into his body. They were both trembling, and he slowly moved over to one of the benches in the shower, settling them both down in it. Karen gave a weak moan and her body quivered as his knot pushed against her g-spot. "Holy fuck," he said, even his voice quivering. "Yeah," Karen let out a breathy chuckle and rested her head against his, human, heaving chest. He gave her his crooked smile and hugged her close. They stayed like that for a while, the warm water slowly washing the sweat and fluids away on its own. Theo let out a soft groan, as she wiggled on his lap. "Karen," he said reverently, "You need to stop moving, I have to concentrate on getting my knot down." "Why?" she asked breathlessly as she pushed herself harder against him, both of them moaning "I love the feeling of being so fucking full," Theo groaned and grabbed her hips to keep her still. His mate was going to be the death of him. "And I love filling you up, but Brett is coming over and I really don't want to be caught locked together. Do you?" He asked with a smile. Karen groaned all thoughts of continuing disappearing. "Welp, that does the trick doesn't it?" she huffed as she felt him slowly start to soften and the knot start to go down. Theo chuckled, and with a small grunt from both of them, removed his cock, with a small knot still visible at the base. He gently stood up and sat Karen down. She couldn't help it, she reached down and caressed his member, marveling at the knot that was there. Theo groaned, his hips jerking forward as his cock harden again. "Karen," he breathed harshly, grabbing her wrist and taking her hand from him. "Brett's almost here." Karen gave him a pout and then looked at him confused "How do you know?" she asked as she begrudgingly grabbed the bottle of shampoo. Theo just gave her a smile and tapped his head. "Strong wolves can speak through the mental link even when we're not in wolf form. He just told me he was on his way," Karen gave him another cute pout that earned her another searing kiss that stole her breath. "Now now Lass," Theo admonished with a smile as he quickly scrubbed soap over himself and washed it off. "Take your time, but I have to go down and meet him okay?" "Well, duh," Karen said with a chuckle and a cheeky smile, "I know you have to go do things, you'll just have to make it up to me later, I wanna explore that amazing cock of yours with its magical base," Theo just smiled, shook his head and gave her a quick kiss on the head before leaving the shower. Karen quickly finished up and after a couple of frustrating minutes, was finally able to turn the shower off. She wrapped herself in one of his oversized towels and crept down the hall, peering down into the living room to make sure the coast was clear. As if on cue, both men looked up at her. She gave a small squeak and froze, a pink flush covering her cheeks. Theo gave her his crooked smile and called out to her. "Come down as soon as you're dressed," she frowned when she saw his smile falter "Brett has some news that affects both of us" She just nodded and hurried back into the bedroom. She toweled off and changed quickly, a heavy stone settling in her stomach. Something wasn't right, and Theo was worried about it. Maybe he was worried about her, or her reaction to it? She couldn't tell, but the more she thought about it, the heavier the pit grew. Changed Ch. 12 Theo turned back to Brett after watching Karen disappear into the bedroom letting his shock show on his face. "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked, his throat going dry. "Yes," Brett said with a sigh. "I need to do what is best for my family, Theo." Theo nodded, resignation setting in though a small part of him was angry too. "What about MY family, Brett?" he asked with no real heat. "You can't expect Karen to..." "Expect me to do what?" Karen blurted out as she was walking down the stairs. She walked over to the couch and crossed her arms over her chest, her nerves growing exponentially. Brett heaved out another sigh and scrubbed his face with his hands. He looked up at the fiery young woman and gave her a small smile. "Hello Karen," he said getting up to hug her, which she returned frostily. Her demeanor caused him to chuckle and both Karen and Theo looked at him surprised. "Please have a seat," Brett motioned to the couch next to Theo, relaxing some as she did. "Before I say anything, I just want to congratulate you two on being able to accept each other. You will make a wonderful pair, and I can't wait for the ceremony." Karen gave him a small smile, before snuggling in closer to Theo. He draped his arm around her shoulder and held her close. She could feel the worry rolling off of him in waves. Sighing, she turned to Brett. "What did you tell him to freak him out so much?" she asked while Theo snorted. "I'm not freaked out," he said softly, but the other two ignored him. "I will be stepping down as the alpha of this pack once you two have gone through the mating ritual," Brett said bluntly. Karen looked at in him disbelief. "What?" she asked incredulously. "You're handing over the pack? Can you do that? And why wait until we're mated? Unless..." she trailed off looking between the two men. She scoffed in disbelief, stood up, and was soon pacing around the room. "If this is any way that a normal wild pack works, there's the alpha male, and the alpha female, which means if you're handing the pack over to Theo, I would be alpha female?" Brett simply nodded as both men watched the agitated woman pace around the living room. "You want me to help run a pack of wolves?" she asked, her voice rising a few octaves as the severity of the situation settled on her. "Less than 6 months ago, I didn't even know y'all existed. Between then and now, I've lost my father, my best friend, found out I wasn't human, found out I was living with werewolves, had to go trekking through the forest with someone who had attacked me, got molested by a...a...a rock troll, found out that I'm fated to spend the rest of my life with Theo, not that that's a bad thing hun," she said quietly to Theo before turning back to Brett, "and now, on top of everything else. You want me to help lead a pack of wolves when I only know 4 of them. What the hell are you thinking!?!" She ended in an exasperated sigh. Brett took a deep breath and let it out slowly, his wolf not even mad at her outbursts, as he looked at the tiny woman who would soon help lead his pack. As he looked at her, he couldn't help but feel slightly relieved at her reaction. If she had just accepted it, it meant that she had lost some of the strong willpower he had seen in her when he first met her. Karen blinked in surprise when the large man's eyes welled with tears. "Do you remember what my explanation was when we first met, as to why I hadn't introduced myself earlier?" he asked, trying to keep his voice level. Karen looked between him and Theo, before moving to sit next to Brett putting her hand on his large shoulder. "Your wife had just given birth," she said quietly as the big shoulder shook beneath her hand. Theo got up and went to the kitchen to make some coffee, having already heard the reason. Brett nodded and looked at Karen, a single tear spilling over. "One of my girls," his voice cracked a little and he swallowed and tried again. "She's sick. We aren't sure what it is. Werewolves have evolved separately from humans, so we don't have diseases, especially not'' he heaved a breath trying to steady himself "mental diseases.We don't know what's wrong with her, but the closest thing we can think of is that it might be a weird strain or form of the human disease: Autism." "I'm so sorry Brett," Karen said softly, wrapping her small arms around the set of hunched shoulders. He simply nodded and patted her arm. "Thank you. It's because of this, I'm going to step down. I need to be there for my family, and while the pack is my family, my daughter needs me more." "I understand. I'm sorry," she said again, taking a settling breath and giving him a smile as Theo came back with a cup of coffee for Brett. "I'm sure we'll be fine, besides, you'll be staying at the compound right?" He answered her with a nod as he sipped his coffee. "Then you'll be here to help if anything comes up that Theo can't handle, and I'm sure Becca will help me. Plus, we still have a little bit of time before the ceremony right?" Brett gave Karen a warm smile, pride for her bravery burned in his chest. He cleared his throat and looked at Theo. "Yes. There is some time before the ceremony. Theo still has to complete his punishment for lashing out at you. He did the manual labor portion, now he has to re-establish his place among the pack. Any who feel that he is no longer suited to second in command has the chance to challenge him for his position. Once he has re-established himself within the pack, then we can get to the Mating ceremony," Karen nodded, not trusting herself to speak anymore. She had just gotten control over her emotions, and already they seemed to be trying to break free. First she was terrified about being an Alpha and then she was worried about Theo, not that she knew he couldn't take care of himself. She heaved a sigh and Theo gave her a crooked grin before turning back to Brett. They spoke a bit more about pack things and the upcoming challenges before brett got up to leave. As they said their goodbyes, Theo gathered her in his arms and kissed the top of her head. "Are you hungry?" he asked softly when she finally pulled away. "Yeah," she said a little sheepishly, she had always been one of those people who needed to eat right when they got up. "Come on," he said with a smile as he grabbed her hand and lead her out of the house. "Where are we?" she asked, standing close to him for comfort as they stood in front of one of the larger buildings on the compound that she hadn't been inside. "This is the mess hall," Theo said with a smile before leaning down and whispering to her, "We can't have an Alpha female who doesn't know her pack now can we?" Karen let out a nervous laugh as she eyed the huge mass of people sitting in a large cafeteria. She took a deep breath and forced all of her nerves out when she exhaled. She squared her shoulders and nodded to Theo who simply laughed and led them inside. He was immediately greeted by most of the wolves, and those who were in the proximity got up to shake his hand. In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by at least 10 wolves, all of them staring at Karen. She shot them all a smile, relaxing some when she felt no hostility, just curiosity. Theo cleared his throat and held out his hand to the wolf directly in front of her. He was tall and lanky, with dirty blond hair and soft blue eyes that smiled at her. "Karen," Theo said, his voice taking on a tone she hadn't heard before "This is Timothy, he's second in command at the hospital and is a low ranking Beta," Karen returned the tall man's smile and shook his offered hand, "Hello," she said softly, "I'm Karen. Though I'm sure you know all about me," Timothy let out a soft laugh, "Indeed I do though it is wonderful to finally be introduced properly," There was a small jostle of bodies and a smaller wolf pushed his way to the front excitement evident on his face. "I'm Matt!" he exclaimed, quickly grabbing her hand. There was a soft growl to her right, and the small wolf cowed instantly, dropping her hand like it was on fire. "I'm sorry Beta Theo, I didn't mean any disrespect" Karen looked over at her man, who seemed to be giving the now obviously young wolf a scolding with his eyes. But as quickly as it happened, Theo gave him a nod and cleared his throat. "Karen," He said in what she now realized was his Beta tone, "This is Matt, one of the adolescents in the pack though he sometimes forgets his place," Matt gave her a sheepish smile and held out his hand again, his chest puffed up with pride that Theo was treating him like an adult. Karen gave a soft laugh and shook his hand for the second time. "It's nice to meet you, Matt," He gave her a beaming smile and blushed, quickly retracting his hand and rushing off to the group of adolescents by the door. All the adult wolves chuckled as they watched the younger members exclaim excitedly and quickly rush over to join the ever growing throng of people that wanted to get introduced to the elusive human who had been living on their compound. And so it went, for hours, each member coming forward with a warm smile and a handshake and some with congratulations, all of them seemingly genuinely happy to meet her. Theo only stemmed the flow when Karen's stomach growled loudly. They got their food and sat at the largest table in the middle of the cafeteria. Karen gave him a questioning look and before he could say anything, the table filled with people. She just gave him a smile and nodded to the wolf who had sat down across from her. He was quite large and had an angry scowl on his face. Karen gives the new man a questioning look, but he turned to Theo ignoring her. Before the large man could speak, however, Theo interjected. "The Challenges will most likely be held in a few days Bruin and the meeting for people to challenge me is tonight," he gave the man a cold look, "I would appreciate it if you could take your anger elsewhere, you are interrupting my mate's breakfast," The cafeteria instantly fell silent, and Karen had to use all of her training to simply move the fork from her plate to her mouth without it shaking. It was obvious that some of the wolves had known that they were mates, but this had to have been the first time it was spoken out loud. "Some mate you are," Bruin said angrily. Theo growled and it was unlike anything Karen had ever heard. This growl was not only menacing, warning, but it was full of a power that sent shivers down her spine. Told ya, her Spyrim side said as it basically rolled around in the pure, powerful proof that their mate was a wolf to be reckoned with. Karen tried to hide her smile, focusing on her eggs instead. "Bruin," Theo's voice was laced with power and she was surprised that he could talk and growl at the same time. The other man looked away, showing submission. "Tonight then," he stated simply before he got up and marched away. Theo sighed and turned, smiling at Karen. "You okay?" he asked quietly. She looked back at him, mouth full of food and smiled with a nod. Within seconds, the seat the held the angry Bruin was occupied by a young wolf who was visibly vibrating in excitement. "Will there be a ceremony?" she asked, and the cafeteria, which had been silent broke out in soft murmurs. "Yes Kathy," Theo said with a kind smile, "There will be a Ceremony," The young woman squealed, "Like the old times?" Theo chuckled and gently squeezed Karen's thigh, they hadn't spoken about what the ceremony would entail, but he knew she wasn't going to be too happy about it. "Yes, Kathy, like the old times." The cafeteria exploded in cheers, claps, and a few wolf whistles. Karen looked around, a deep red staining her cheeks. She looked suspiciously at Theo and was even more shocked to see that his skin also held a pink tint to it. "What did you just do?" she whispered harshly, her embarrassment coloring her words. "Something that I'm sure I'll pay for later," he looked at her, his eyes begging forgiveness. Karen groaned and put her head in her hands, elbows resting on the table while the closest wolves laughed. "Excuse me," a soft, small, sheepish voice said one the din had died down. Karen looked up and to her left where an adolescent girl stood, clutching the hand of a much younger girl. They were clearly sisters, and the way the smaller one bounced with excitement, it was obvious she had begged her big sister to take her to meet Karen. Karen gave them a soft smile and turned around to face them. "Yes?" she asked softly, the smile still on her face. "I'm really sorry," the older sister said " Abby really wanted to meet you," Karen held out her hand to the child, "Hello Abby, my name is Karen," Abby beamed up at her, and the older sister relaxed a little. She was quick to stiffen again when, instead of shaking her hand, Abby crawled into Karen's lap instead. Karen laughed and held the little girl close and she got settled. "Abby! Get Down!" the older sister cried Karen laughed again, "It's okay..." she paused prodding for a name. "Marcy," the older sister replied defeated. "I really am sorry, she's a pup and doesn't know any better," "It's okay Marcy, I don't mind," Karen soothed the older girl before turning to the child on her lap. "Now, what can I do for you?" "Why do you have swirly marks all over you?" the little girl asked and again the cafeteria fell quite. Karen's smile turned a little forced, but she knew that she would have to answer these questions eventually, and she would rather pretend to just be answering a child then having to address the whole pack. "The swirly marks shows other people what I am, and they help direct my power should I want to use it." Karen stated, reciting some of what she had read in her mother's journal. "What are you?" Karen chuckled, her tension easing at the little girls bluntness. "I'm half Spyrim, a soul nymph," "What kind of powers do you have?" the little girl rattled off almost immediately as she played with the necklace Karen had put on today. "I can sense what people are feeling, and if I need to, I can control what they feel," The room tensed slightly, for obvious reasons. Having someone who could control feelings in their midst could be potentially dangerous. Karen looked around nervously, seeking Theo's warm eyes as an anchor. Behind his shoulder three wolves were approaching, the older ones obviously the girls parents and the younger one had to be a brother. "So if someone is sad, you can make them happy?" Abby asked, her innocence immediately calming the mounting tension in the room. "Yes," Karen said hesitantly. She knew she could theoretically do it, but hadn't done anything of the sort. "Will you help Charlie?" The three wolves who had made their way over frozen, and all eyes turned onto the young boy who shrunk against his parents. Karen looked at Theo, who was looking at her with a thoughtful expression. He then turned to the parents, who were simply standing in shock. "If it's okay with them, I don't see why you couldn't help them if he'd want it. Even Brett says it'd be okay," he said to her quietly, giving her permission to use her powers on the pack. "Uh," Karen stammered looking between Theo and the parents. Her eyes locked onto the mothers, her heart clenching at the sudden hope that was buried in their depths. "If it's okay with your mom, dad, and brother," she said hesitantly, as she gently set the girl back on the ground "I don't see why I couldn't try to help Charlie," "He's having trouble with his wolf. He's always sad now, we don't know what's wrong. He's not talking to anyone," the mother said, immediately, pushing the son gently towards her. Karen shifted her focus to the young man in front of her. She sucked in a small breath at the tortured look in his eyes. "Hello Charlie," she said gently, holding out her unmarked hand to him "My name is Karen, would you like me to see if I can help you and your wolf?" The boy simply nodded and shook her hand. Taking a deep breath, she reached out her other hand and gently placed it on the boy's shoulder. Acting on instinct, she let her power flow into the boy, not carrying any emotion but looking for his. In the distance she heard a few gasps, he power made her glow, but she was too focused to care. As her power flooded through the young man in front of her, she felt a sudden blast of sadness. A deep well had appeared around the boy's heart, and at the bottom of the well, his wolf was curled up, whimpering softly. A name floated towards her, and she pulled back slightly, looking at Theo. "Whose Margaret?" she asked, her voice sounding far away. Again there was a collective gasp. "She was a young wolf who died in an accident about 15 years ago," Theo's deep voice wrapped around her like a blanket. In the back of her mind, she made a note to ask about a wolf's life cycle since the wolf in front of her barely looked 17. She focused back on the wolf at the bottom of the pit. Why are you sad? she asked, using her powers to gently draw some of the crushing sadness away. I killed her the young man's voice filled her head though she knew he hadn't spoken out loud. How? She asked, slowly drawing more of the sadness away, slowly trying to raise the wolf from the pit. She fell off a cliff when we were playing. She managed to break enough bones on the way down that her body couldn't heal them. She landed in a dirty swamp and got an infection. She died because of the infection and the fact that she couldn't heal herself. Did you push her? Karen asked, a small bubble of hope flaring in her as the boy's anger sparked, getting rid of more sadness. No! He said vehemently, Did you purposefully lead her to a cliff over a dirty swamp? Did you want her to fall? NO! the boy yelled, his wolf scrambling over the edge of a much shallower pit, his hackles raised. Karen sighed, and sent the boy calm, reassurance. I know that, You know that, your wolf knows that, She said softly, draining off the last of the crushing guilt, leaving him with a normal healthy, normal dose of sadness over losing a loved one. So why do you keep blaming yourself? There was nothing you could have done. You need to come back out of that dark place you were in. Yes, it's sad to lose someone, but you have many other's who love you and want you to come back. Look around. Everyone loves you. She finished her small speak with a healthy dose of hope, and finally withdrew as the boy and wolf reconnected without the weight of their false guilt. She looked back to the family, all of them had tears in their eyes. She slowly removed her hand from the boys chest, her tattoo's glow fading. She gave the mother a soft smile. "He needs to talk to someone. He's been blaming himself this whole time for her death and his perceived guilt and trapped both him and his wolf. That's why he wouldn't talk to anyone. He couldn't even talk to himself." "Thank you," the mother said softly, her tears finally spilling over as her son turned to her, burying his face in her chest. The father nodded, and gathered his girls, scooping Abby up and grabbing Marcy's hand before herding his family out of the cafeteria. The surrounding wolves stared in shock at what they had just witnessed. The levels of tension completely disappearing in the wake of such a healing. Karen turned to Theo, the love shining in his eyes making her stomach flip. "Why didn't anyone talk to him before this?" she asked softly, the crowd finally dispersing. "We tried," he said heavily and shook his head "He completely shut us out. No one could get through to him. Not even Brett. What you did was amazing. You saved his life." Changed Ch. 12 Karen gave a start, her eyes wide, "How did I save his life?" "When wolves withdraw like that, there is something wrong with the connection between their human side and the wolf side. When that happens, it's only a matter of time before the wolf will rise up and take over, turning them rogue. Charlie has been in that funk for 15 years. We think the only reason he didn't surrender was because of Abby. You helping him reconnect saved him from going rogue." Karen simply nodded, the full weight of what had just transpired settling on her shoulders. They cleaned up their plates in silence, Karen deep in thought. She blinked in surprise when they walked outside to the sun low in the horizon. "How long were we in there?" she asked "Pretty much all day," Theo said with a smile, gently draping his arm around her shoulders to hold her tight. "The meet-and-greet took up most of the time, and your time with Charlie was a couple of hours," "WHAT?!" she cried "I was only with him for like, 15 minutes!" Theo chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "No Lass, you were with him for like, 2 hours. Your powers must have warped your sense of time." Karen nodded but quickly stopped, a grimace crossing her face. A pounding headache had started up behind her eyes. "Are you okay?" Theo asked, worry written all over his face. "Yeah," she said softly, gently rubbing her temple with a couple fingers "I've just got a really bad headache all of a sudden" Theo nodded and turned them back towards his house. The walk was slow, Karen's head visibly moving with each throb in her skull. Growling softly, Theo quickly swept her up in his arms and quickened his pace. "I can walk, Theo," She said weakly, even as one of her arms hooked around his neck and she snuggled into his warmth. "I know," he said roughly, "But it makes me feel better to carry you," Karen just sighed and tried to fight through the ungodly throbbing. Within minutes, Theo was gently laying her down on his big bed. She blurred in and out of consciousness. She was in the bed, then there was a cool damp cloth on her forehead, then all the light was extinguished and a fan was turned on. She felt a pair of soft lips on hers, and she weakly reached out to keep their owner with her. Theo rumbled softly, gently grabbing her hand and kissing each of her fingers. "Brett's called the meeting, I have to go," he said softly, displeasure lacing his words "Relax, sleep, you're having a migraine, probably from using your powers. I will be back as soon as this is over okay? Karen just mumbled incoherently, already drifting off, her body shutting down to deal with the exorbitant amount of power that she used. Theo stayed until her breathing evened out and she was fast asleep. He gently kissed her forehead before turning and heading back over to the cafeteria. The whole pack was gathered around a small stage that had been set up. On it stood Brett, and when Theo walked in, he motioned him to join him on the stage. Taking a deep breath, Theo made his way next to Brett and looked out over the gathering of the whole pack. "This meeting is to schedule the challenges for Theo's spot as Lead Beta and my Second. As you all know, Theo messed up big time when his wolf attacked his mate. Theo has completed his menial work tasks to reaffirm his bond with the Thetas. This is the final step in his punishment. He must prove himself to the Pack and to myself that he is indeed capable of holding his position. Those who wish to challenge him, please step forward." Brett's deep voice carried over the silent pack, the only movements were people shuffling in their seats. Slowly, Bruin was the first to stand and approach the stage. "I wish to Challenge Theo, though not for his position," the crowd broke into a murmur "But because he has failed his pack with is actions," Brett nodded at the strange request, challenges were always about wolves moving up the ranks "Very well Bruin, I shall accept your challenge and your conditions. Should you win, you will not take Theo's place, but what shall be your reward for beating him?" Bruin gave both men a wolfish smile, and Theo couldn't help but smile back. Even though his display earlier had upset him, Bruin and Theo were close friends. "Bragging rights for whooping his stupid little ass," There were chuckles around the room, and Theo nodded in acceptance. His smile faded however as two more wolves stepped forward to Challenge him. One was a young male, just hitting adulthood and didn't have a set place in the pack. His challenge was simply a power grab even though everyone knew he couldn't touch Theo. The other was a low ranking beta whom never really cared for Theo. Theo sighed internally and the viciousness behind his eyes. Brett accepted each of their challenges and Theo agreed to the terms. Both men wanted his position. "If there is no one else who would wish to challenge," "Wait!" a harsh female voice interrupted him. "I also want to challenge him for his position of Lead Beta!" The group fell silent, all eyes turning towards the tall blonde wolf. Her eyes shone and her shoulders heaved with each breath. Theo was shocked, barely registering that Brett had begun to speak. Annie stood in front of them obviously seething. Was she still mad about that night that he had basically used her? She shouldn't be. They had spoken and while she had yelled at him, a few weeks later everything seemed to be back to normal. This was completely out of character for her. "If you are sure that you want to challenge him, Annie, then I will grant your request. You will go last." Annie simply nodded before turning on her heel and storming out of the meeting. Her departure sent up a round of muttering. It was normal to have female Betas, they looked after all of the pack females and were under the control of the Alpha Female. But it was basically unheard of for a female Beta to challenge a high ranking male Beta. Brett raised his hands to settle the crowd. "Now that the challengers have come forth, the challenges will be held tomorrow. The challengers, and those who wish to watch will meet at the Circle when the sun has set. That is all." The crowd quickly broke up into smaller groups, each one no-undoubtedly talking about the challenges that were coming up. Theo stuck around for just a few minutes, smiling and talking to some of the pack members before his need to be by Karen's side grew unbearable. Quickly extracting himself from the few stragglers, he rushed home, anxious to see how Karen was feeling. Changed Ch. 13 He climbed the stairs as quietly as he could, not wanting to disturb Karen if she was sleeping. He peeked into the bedroom and his heart dropped. The bed was empty, the damp cloth that had been on her forehead tossed haphazardly on the floor. Fear gripped him and he fully entered the bedroom. "Karen?" He called, noting that her scent was slightly stale, which ratcheted up his fear even more. He tore out of the bedroom and was about to run down the stairs when a soft noise broke through his panic. He took a deep breath and slowly made his way down the hall towards his monstrous bathroom. His fear lessened with each step as the noise he heard grew as he approached the bathroom. He gently opened the bathroom door and steam billowed out. The quiet noise turned into a song and as he leaned against the door jam, it took every bit of willpower not to laugh out loud as he watched Karen in his large tub. Rubber Ducky, you're the one! You make bathtime lots of fun! Rubber Ducky I'm awfully fond of you! It didn't work though, and he couldn't help a small, strangled snicker as she kept singing. Every day when I Make my way to the tubby! His snicker was a little louder, and he tried to stamp it down, his eyes watering in mirth. I find a little fella who's Cute and Yellow and Chubby! Theo lost it. How could he not? Here was an amazing, powerful, warrior of a woman, who was singing a Sesame Street song in a bathtub full of bubbles. Karen squeaked and she quickly turned around, her cheeks a blazing red as she heard a deep belly laugh coming from the doorway. She made an indignant noise as she saw Theo doubled over, his sides heaving as he laughed. Without thinking, she hurled the closest thing she could. Theo quickly controlled his laughter at her indignant protest. He turned just as a yellow object came flying at him. It hit his chest with a surprising amount of force, and it let out a squeak in protest, squeaking again as it hit the floor at his feet. Theo stared down at the little yellow rubber duck, it's plastic face smiling up at him. His shoulders shook violently as he looked from the floor to the woman in the tub. "GODDAMNIT!" she screamed, her face growing impossibly redder. Before she could do anything else though, Theo scooped up the duck and crossed the room in three huge steps. He kneeled by the tub, gently placing the bath toy back in the water, where it bobbed with that stupid smile. Without warning, he grabbed Karen by the neck, pulling her against the tub and his lips in a bruising kiss. Karen gasped at the intensity of the kiss, instantly melting as the huge man claimed her mouth. Even Theo was surprised by the kiss. Seeing her playing in the tub messed with his mind. At first is was funny and adorable, and then he realized that she was all his and that his spiky, fierce, warrior also had a soft, childish side as well. She was everything he'd ever wanted, and he wanted her, now. He groaned and dragged himself away, quickly shedding his clothes and getting into the tub with her, before she even caught her breath. He immediately pulled her onto his lap his lips claiming hers again, his rock hard member seated against her slit. They both groaned and Karen took his face in her hands while his traveled down to cup her ass. "Feeling better?" he asked huskily when they finally broke for air. Karen just nodded, swallowing a few times to find her voice. "Yeah, I slept the headache off pretty quickly. Then I remembered the bathtub and wanted to try it out. I hope you don't mind," She ended sheepishly. "Not at all" he growled as he squeezed her ass, pushing her tighter against him. "Especially if you're going to be playing with toys" he ended by wiggling his eyebrows at her. She blushed again, wiggled her ass against his lap, and ran her hands down his chest. "Wanna know a secret?" her voice was shy and seductive and it did ridiculous things to his brain. All he could do was nod, his eyes glued to her mouth as she licked her lips. "I've never used a toy before," she giggled softly at his groan and they way his hips bucked against her "Only my fingers." "Fuck," he ground out before a mischievous smile graced his face. "I've heard, "he said softly as he leaned over and hit the button to start the jets, "That some women us a whirlpool tub to get off," He turned her around so her back was against his chest. "Wanna try it out?" he ended huskily, his member nestled between her ass cheeks as he kissed her mark. Karen let out a soft moan, her head listing to the side giving him more access to her mark. She could only nod, not trusting herself to speak. Theo growled softly, gripped her knees placing them on either side of his own legs spreading her wide, and positioned them in front of one of the larger jets. Slowly, he inched them closer until the water was directly over her mound. Karen let out a sharp gasp as she felt the water thudding against her. She leaned her head back against his shoulder, her back arching slightly. "Do you like that?" he asked, his voice deep and husky. "Y..y...yes," she stammered as he moved them closer. "Good," he growled, his hand slipping between her folds to open her up to the jet of water. Karen cried out as the water hit directly on her clit. Her back arched completely, and one hand went to the arm banded around her ribcage while the other the to wrist of his hand that was holding her open. "O...o...o...oh M...m...m...my G...g...g...g...god!" she stuttered out as her body began to shake. In seconds her orgasm hit. It was the quickest one she'd ever had before. Theo rumbled against her back, loving the way she convulsed against him. He scooted them back just enough so that the water wasn't too harsh on her now sensitive clit, but she could still feel it. "My turn," he whispered in her ear as he shifted her, letting his cock out from between her cheeks to rest against her opening. Karen only moaned and attempted to grind her hips against him. He chuckled, and gently slid his cock through her folds, pausing in each path to gently prod her opening. Karen groaned, she couldn't take the teasing. Before he could react, she gripped his massive member and sank onto it, leaning forward off of his chest to get all of him in. They both moaned as he was fully seated inside of her, her hot walls still fluttering from her orgasm. Experimentally, Karen moved her hips, rocking forward and back. "Oh fuck," she moaned as his dick pushed against her g-spot. Theo just groaned and leaned back, resting his hands behind his head. He wanted her to take her time, enjoy herself. Every other time had been hard and fast, it was time for slow and steady. Karen rocked on him for a while, her strong, slow movements creating a deep burning within her. Suddenly, she wanted to see his face, watch him as she made love to him. She stood up, gasping as the cool air hit her, and turned to face him. He cocked an eyebrow at her but said nothing and she repositioned herself, one knee on either side of his hips and sank back down onto his waiting member. Theo let out a soft groan as she began her slow strokes again. Without realizing it, his hands found her hips, his fingers digging into the meaty part of her butt. He moved his hands with her hips, helping her with her rocking as he felt her starting to climb. "That's it, baby," he growled as her head was tossed back and her tempo increased. Soon she was pounding against him, the water in the tub sloshing around them. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" she cried, her hands gripping his shoulders and she quickly approached her peak. Theo groaned and sat up straighter, physically pulling her against him as he felt his own peak approaching. "I'm close," he growled, "Cum for me," and with that, he bit her mark. Her orgasm was instantaneous. As soon as his teeth grazed her tattoo she came so hard she saw black spots swirling in her vision. Theo was quick to follow with a shout, her pussy milking him for everything he was worth. Karen collapsed against him, utterly satisfied and drained. It took a while for them to catch their breath, and once they had, Karen gave a small shiver. It was then that Theo realized the bathwater was frigid. Chuckling softly, he scooped Karen off of his lap and into his arms, his dick twitching at the moan of disappointment from her as he slipped out. "Bed," he said roughly, his own eyelids drooping slightly as they made their way to the bedroom. Karen simply sighed and snuggled into him as he got them situated under the covers. ****** Karen was slowly roused out of the depths of her sleep by a gentle, warm feeling that was radiating from between her thighs. She moaned softly and rolled her hips, hoping to get more of the delicious sensation. A deep chuckle reached her ears and the sensation grew harder, moving from one end of her pussy to the other. "Theo," she sighed softly and was rewarded with a deep rumble that shot straight to her core. Once she was more fully awake, she peeked an eye open, only to see a head of hair buried between her legs. She groaned and moved her hips against his face, smiling down at him when he looked up from his task. "Good morning," he said with a husky voice, his warm breath teasing across her wet folds. "Morning," Karen moaned, one hand snaking down to curl in his hair. He chuckled as she pushed, pressing his face back to her entrance. "Greedy," he muttered with a smile, and she moaned in agreement, tossing her head back as he resumed his torturous ministrations. She moved her hips in time with his tongue as it slowly licked all over her. "Theo," she moaned, unconsciously pulling his head down harder "More," He rumbled his approval and began in earnest to eat her. He alternated between slow, long, languorous licks, to powerful thrusts into her entrance, to quick, hard circles on her clit. Within minutes she was a panting mess, moans falling freely from her lips, both hands on his head holding him close. "Oh yes!" she cried, her back arching of the bed. "Fuck! Theo!" He focused all of his attention on her clit, moving to slide two fingers into her dripping entrance. She came with a shout, her walls clamping around his fingers, releasing a small rush of fluid. Theo lapped it up greedily, all while easing her back down from her orgasm. Once she had settled and was gaining her breath back, he withdrew his fingers. He gave her a wink and then licked his fingers clean like it was his favorite ice cream. Karen let out a breathy laugh and shook her head. "Best alarm clock ever," she said sleepily, echoing his thoughts from the previous morning. He chuckled, got up and then leaned to kiss her forehead. "I'm gonna go shower, "he said before leaving the room. Karen rolled over and layed there for a few minutes, but was too awake to go back to bed. Sighing contentedly, she got up and went to the bathroom, hearing the shower running. She slipped in quietly, surprised that he didn't hear the door open. She stood and gaze in wonder, a bolt of liquid heat shooting straight to her core. Theo was in the shower, one hand braced against the wall, the other wrapped around his cock. His eyes were closed and his head was bent under the spray, but she could still see the slack-jawed expression he had. She watched in fascination as his muscles rippled across his back and arms as his hand moved furiously against his dick. "Karen!" he groaned, throwing his head back as his cum streamed out, hitting the shower wall. "Yes?" she asked breathlessly, her knees weak with need from the sight of her man pleasuring himself. His eyes immediately jerked to where she was standing and she couldn't suppress the breathless giggle as his face turned pink. He simply stared at her, as she walked over to him, shedding her clothes as she went. Her breath hitched as his eyes slowly moved down her body, her skin tingling in their wake. "That was the hottest thing I've ever seen," she said, her voice still not solid as she reached out and ran a hand down his chest. Theo grunted, choosing not to speak. Instead, he grabbed his woman and claimed her mouth in a searing kiss. Karen moaned into his mouth, her body instantly melting against his. The kiss seemed to go on forever, each taking the time to learn each other. Their tongues met and slid against one another, chasing back and forth between mouths. It was one of the most intense feelings that Karen had ever felt. The love that was between them, even after everything that happened was staggering. When the kiss finally broke, they were both gasping for breath and Karen couldn't help the tears that slowly slid down her face. Theo looked at her with a frown. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice husky from desire. Karen let out a small laugh that sounded more like a sob. "I've only loved 2 people in my life," she said with a watery smile that quivered. "Both of them have left me. I was afraid to love another, fearing that they would leave too." She let out another laugh/sob and shook her head, burying it in his chest, holding on to him for dear life. "It was stupid. I loved you from the start. I reacted the way I did because I didn't know how to process those feelings." Theo gave her a warm smile, cupping her face in his hands, his thumbs wiping her tears. "Och, Lass. It was new for both of us, and I'm sure there are still going to be bumps along the way. But I love you with every fiber of my being, and I am so bloody happy that I have you now," Karen let out a shaky giggle and hugged him close as he placed a kiss on her head. They quickly scrubbed down, Theo making small jokes to keep Karen laughing. Once they were done and dressed he took her hand and led her down to the kitchen. "Now," he said with a flourish "what shall my Lady like for breakfast?" Karen settled onto a bar stool and smiled as Theo made his way around the kitchen. "Eggs and bacon!" she said giggling as he wiggled his eyebrows at her. Theo set to work cooking their breakfast and they sat in companionable silence. Karen fidgeted after a few minutes, questions suddenly bursting forth for the back of her mind. "So," she drawled out, her finger tracing an invisible pattern on the counter, "How old are you?" She watched as his whole body tensed and he looked at her. He took a deep breath and let it out with a sigh. "341," he said quietly. Karen just nodded, processing what he had just said. "So," she drawled again, watching his shoulder scrunch up slightly "You were born in 1674?" Theo just nodded, his eyes locked onto the bacon that was sizzling in the pan. Karen couldn't help the small smile that graced her face. After everything they'd been through, he was still worried that something would spook her away. "Cradle Robber," she muttered just loud enough for him. He let out a snort and looked at her with one eyebrow raised. "What?" she asked innocently, which earned her a smile and a shake of his head. "That doesn't bother you?" he asked. "Not really," she shrugged "I mean, will I also start to live forever once we mate?" "No," he said carefully. They hadn't spoken much about anything that would happen after the mating. "Werewolves aren't immortal, nothing is. But you will get the extended life span that I have," She nodded with a smile "Then no, it doesn't bother me though I do reserve the right to call you an old man," Theo chuckled and handed her a plate piled high with scrambled eggs and thick strips of bacon along with a cup of coffee. "What else happens after the mating?" she asked around a mouth full of eggs, smiling at him as he sat next to her. He took a sip of coffee, willing his nerves to settle. She hadn't run yet, she said she loved him, he needed to get over his fear of her leaving. He sighed and gave her a small smile. "The wolf gene will be passed to you through my bite. Once it's settled within you, several things will happen. One, me and you will be connected completely, we'll share thoughts emotions, pain," he chuckled at the look on her face "Don't worry, it can be dampened, and you can choose which thoughts I can hear and vice-versa. Two, you'll become part of the pack, which means a bond will form between you and all the members. Because Brett has decided to pass on the Alphaship early, it also means that you'll be able to communicate to the entire pack mentally as well," Karen nodded as he spoke, taking small bites as she watched him with interest "Then, the final thing that will happen, is you will get shifting abilities. You'll be able to shift to wolf and to hybrid form just like I can," The smile that Karen shot him took his breath away. "I wonder what color I'll be!" she said excitedly while he chuckled. They took a few more bites of food while Karen thought. She turned to him again, confusion on her features. "If there has never been a mating between wolves and non-wolves, then how do you know what will happen when you bite me?" "Over the centuries, many wolves have gone rogue. Remember what I told you when you helped Charlie?" she nodded. "Well, there have been instances where the rogues will go into a populated area, and attack humans. Most of them don't survive the change that the wolf DNA brings. Those who do, go through a long painful process while their bodies and minds adjust. Luckily," he hurried on seeing the worry etched on her face "there have also been a few who have chosen to make the change. many times they have no family or life left. Through fate it seems, one of our kind will stumble upon them and offer them a choice. For those who chose to make the change it is not painful, just a tad uncomfortable," Karen let out a sigh of relief and gave him a small smile but the look on his face made it waiver slightly. "What?" She asked nervously, quickly shoveling eggs into her mouth. "Would you have still gone through with it?" he asked, suddenly needing to know if she would have endured the pain to be with him. She looked him dead in the eye and sighed before smiling softly at him "Of course I would have. I would have called you all sorts of names and demanded retribution, probably in the form of ice cream," he let out a deep chuckle "But yes, I would have gone through with it," "So what are we waiting to get mated?" she continued with her questions around bites of bacon, "Aren't the big nasties still after me?" Theo growled softly but quickly stuffed it down. "We have to wait until I re-solidify my place in the pack. As of right now, I am in limbo and it is against the laws for those who are rogue or those in limbo to turn another. So wolves like Matt, and other adolescents who have made the turn but not yet have a rank assigned to them are also in limbo," he took a sip of coffee, and the turned to look at her full on. "As far as our reports go, the vampires have called off the search for you for the time being. Without their fairies, they have no solid clues, and we have made sure that the fairies are well, "he paused and a malicious grin graced his face for an instant "Taken care of," Karen shuddered at his tone and they went back to eating in silence. They finished quickly after that and Karen helped in taking the dishes to the sink. As they fell into natural roles, Karen washing the dishes with Theo drying them and putting them away another thought wormed its way forward. "What exactly does the Ceremony entail?" she asked as she scrubbed the girdle that was used to cook the bacon. She let out a squeak and quickly spun around as a plate smashed against the floor. "Shit," Theo muttered quickly bending to pick up the pieces. Karen was shocked and endeared as she watched how shaken he was. Part of her found it adorable, the other part was extremely worried that he was so flustered over a relatively simple question. She grabbed a piece of bread and quickly bent to help pick up the tiny pieces. Changed Ch. 13 "Baby?" She asked softly, and Theo couldn't help but look up at her and her first use of an endearment towards him. He sighed and let himself plop onto the floor, the plate forgotten. He ran his hands through his hair and gave her a smile that was both sheepish and entertained. "It's public," he said quietly. Karen looked at him confused, also sitting herself on the floor. "Yeah?" She said like it was obvious "Most weddings are," Theo groaned and shot her another smile. "The mating is public," he said again and laughed softly when it still wasn't clicking for her. She just shook her head at him, eyebrows furrowed. "The -mating-" he emphasized the word, but she still shook her head drawing another sigh from him. "Lass, you are not making this easy," he said with another smile "Remember how I explained how wolves mated at the library?" She nodded slowly, "In order to mate that have to be joined and then bite each other, forming the bond?" "Oh fuck," she whispered as it finally clicked. The look she gave him sent him into throaty laughter. "IT'S PUBLIC?!?!" She cried. Theo could only laugh and nod, barely dodging the glass covered bread. "YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT BEFORE YOU LET THE PACK KNOW!!" She was on her feet and storming out of the kitchen. "Lass," Theo called, hopping up to chase her down, grabbing her shoulders before she made it to the stairs. "It's not going to be that bad, you won't even notice them, I promise," "Oh yeah?" she turned to face him, her face beet red "How do you know what I will and won't notice?!" He simply gave her a devilish smile, loomed over her until they bumped into the wall and then bent his head to her ear, "I have a secret weapon," he said seductively. "Oh yeah?" she repeated though her voice was shaky and her breath had hitched up, a warmth pooling between her thighs. Her whole body quaked as he slowly ran his tongue over her mark. "Yeah," his warm breath hit the damp skin making her moan and press against him. "Want me to prove it?" his voice was gravel as it slid over her skin shooting a bolt of need straight to her core. "Oh yeah," she said again with a light laugh that ended in a surprised cry as she was scooped up and quickly carried to the bedroom. ***** Karen stretched languorously against the wall of man that was laying half underneath her and smiled. Theo had spent the rest of the morning and into the afternoon proving just how distracted he could make her. He rumbled down at her, his hand gently rubbing her back as she finished her stretch. "Other than it being public," she said her voice full of satisfaction "What else does it entail?" Another rumble from him and his arm looped around her waist pulling her close. She sighed happily as his lips found hers in a gentle kiss. "It starts much like a wedding would, we say vows to each other and then Brett will declare us mates. Then it is time to form the bond between us, and you to the pack," he muttered against her lips as his kissed trailed down the right side of her neck "First we start as humans, consummating the human marriage, then my wolf will take you, and finally, we'll end much like how it was at the library. I will take you in hybrid form, knot you and then finally bite you passing on the gene to you. As I'm biting you and spilling inside, that is when you bite me back," He grazed his teeth against her bare shoulder making her moan and grind her hips against his thigh. "You'll have to bite me hard," his voice almost a groan at the thought of her teeth sinking into him "I have thick skin," Karen let out a breath laugh and moved to lay fully on top of him, his cock nestled between her dripping folds. Slowly she drug her hips forward, causing him to groan. "Will it be much different when Cuddles takes me?" she asked quietly, a small waiver in her voice though Theo couldn't tell if it was from trepidation or pleasure. "I'm not sure," he answered truthfully, his hands on her hips helping her glide over his shaft "I know he loves you just as much as I do, and I know he wouldn't hurt you," He reached up and tweaked a nipple causing her to moan. "Can we try it?" she asked her breath rushing out as Theo seemed to ripple beneath her, his eyes instantly molten gold. "Are you sure?" he asked, his voice was strained and she could tell that he was fighting for control. "Yes," she said a soft 'oouf' escaping as she was tossed away from him like a doll to the center of the bed and he stood. "He... won't... hurt you," Theo struggled to get out before he changed into the massive silver wolf. Karen sat in the middle of the bed, slightly sprawled from being tossed, as she stared into the golden eyes of her wolf. "Hi," she said shakily as he stalked towards the bed. He let his tongue hang out, trying to be as non-threatening as possible. He placed both front paws onto the mattress and gently gripped her ankle in his teeth, tugging slightly. Karen let out a nervous laugh as she scooted closer to the edge of the bed. Cuddles let out a soft yip and wagged his tail, climbing down once her feet hit the floor. He then moved and nudged under her hip, slightly turning her. Karen got the hint and rolled over her ass in the air the same height as his chest and her stomach, now pressed into the bed flopping around like a fish on a deck. She let out an exclamation as his wet nose pushed against her hot sex, but it was quickly replaced by a moan as a long, rough tongue rasped against her folds. "Oh!" she exclaimed, her breath rushing out as the massive appendage sunk into her passage. It was long, rough, and hot and it moved inside her unlike anything else. She jumped, a louder moan escaping as his cold nose pressed against her puckered hole and his teeth lightly bumped her clit. The wolf withdrew his tongue and took long slow licks from top to bottom, sometimes pausing at one of the sensitive spots at either end. "Oh Theo," she moaned, her ass pushing back against the warm snout and moaned in disappointment when it withdrew with a derisive snort. She chuckled softly and wiggled her ass, "Oh Cuddles," she amended and was rewarded with a deep thrust of his tongue. This time he kept his tongue in her, thrusting in and out, twisting it around inside of her, all the while is upper and lower jaws pushing against her sensitive spots. It wasn't long before she shattered, crying out with an orgasm so large she saw spots. The wolf carried her down with gentle licks that at first were centered on her sex, but moved to her ass and then lower back. Karen shuddered slightly as his chest bumped against her and he lifted his paws to the bed. He continued to lick up her back, focusing on her mark, to make her relax again. Soon she was panting again, the wolf covering her whole body with his. She moaned softly when she felt a hard rod poke against her thigh. Cuddles hips thrust again, and again he missed his mark. He whined softly, his thrusts hitting either air or thigh. "Shhh," Karen soothed, as she reached behind her and guided the throbbing cock to her center. Cuddles licked her cheek, it was the only sign that he was more than a simple beast, before ramming his cock inside her. Karen cried out, not expecting the length or the girth of him. He was larger in this state, but not as large as his hybrid form. Karen didn't have time to adjust either. Once he was in, his hips pumped furiously against her. There were no gentle, easy strokes, this was pure, basic, and animalistic. Her first orgasm caught her off guard as she shattered around the piston that was working her hard. Cuddles growled and gripped her shoulder with his teeth, one of his paws moving to pin her down to the bed, angling her for even deeper strokes. Karen shuddered as she didn't get the chance to come down from her orgasm. Instead, each harsh stroke sent her higher and soon she began to push back against the beast with her own ferocity. Cuddles bit harder, his teeth drawing blood and Karen cried out in pleasure. Then, she felt a familiar sensation, the base of his cock thickening. "Oh god," She moaned as it grew bigger and bigger. Cuddles growled and before she knew it, pushed his massive knot inside her. "FUCK!" she screamed, another orgasm hitting her as her opening and the first half of her tunnel was filled to bursting. She slumped limp to the bed, no longer able to push back as the beast continued his pounding in short jerky thrusts, his jaws still clamped to her shoulder. Soon Cuddles let out a sound that was a mix between a growl and a whine and she felt him swell impossibly thicker before his molten hot seed flooded her passage. She was immediately flung back into an orgasm as he continued to pump into her. Neither Theo nor his Hybrid had filled her with so much cum before. After an eternity, it seemed like Cuddles was spent. She let out a sigh and closed her eyes, loving just how full she was. She moaned, low in her throat when Cuddles let out the same weird noise again, and again began to release more of his spunk. There were only a few more pumps, but it was enough to make her feel like she was going to explode. Thirty seconds later, it happened again. This time she did explode with another intensive orgasm, and she swore she could feel their juices starting to run down her leg. "Holy shit," she groaned as she shuddered, pleasure blinding her and stealing all cohesive thought. She woke to warm, smooth flesh pressed against her back, and large, strong hands rubbing her sides. "Theo," She whispered his name a prayer on her lips. He rumbled beneath her and she moaned as his cock stirred inside of her. "I'm going to move us," he voice was nothing more than a deep rumble against her back. "It's going to be awkward, just hook one of her your arms around my neck okay?" Karen could only groan, her body still stretched and full of seed. She did as he said though, and as he gently lifted them off the bed, her knees held wide apart, she hooked her arm around his neck. "Oh God," she moaned, his knot rubbing against her. "I know," Theo bit out, his hands shaky. When he took his first step forward they both moaned loudly. Karen came twice more and Theo once by the time they finally reached the bathroom. By the time the bath was filled and Theo got them into, Karen was delirious again, her mind fragmented from pleasure. Slowly the warm water worked it way into her muscles, and as the steam rose, it seemed to carry her fogginess with it. She lay with her back against his chest, her head under his chin and their legs stretched out in the water. "That was intense," she said, her voice barely solid enough to hear. Theo let out a tortured chuckle, the hand that wasn't on her hip clenching in the water. "Intense doesn't begin to describe what that was," he grated out "Was it normal?" she asked after a few more moments "I'm not sure," he said sighing against her hair, kissing the top of her head. "I've heard that in some cases a wolf will spread his ejaculate over several minutes, to better the chances of fertilization, but I'm not sure that that's all that happened. I think it was a mix of doing that and having more orgasms on top of the first one. Either way, you knocked his ass out," Theo chuckled. Karen laughed too and gently squirmed on his lap, causing him to suck in a breath. "Och, Lass," he growled "Donna be doin that," "God I love your accent," she said before she moved again. "Karen," his voice was half warning half begging. "Just one more," she moaned as she finally felt his cock stir again past the slightly less massive knot. "In the shower, I want you to watch all of your cum drip out of me," Theo groaned harshly, and he spun her around to face him, the friction between them making them both gasp. He stood on shaky legs, hers wrapping around his waist, drawing him further into her. "Yer gonna be the death of me," he growled out as he moved them to the shower. He turned the settings on and slammed her back against the wall, both of them groaning out in pleasure. As the hot water thrummed down on them, he took her again with short powerful strokes. His knot hit her g-spot and with one hand, he reached between them to strum her clit. Karen froze against him, his knot hitting her g-spot, his shaft moving all of the spunk inside of her around, and his thumb on her clit seemed like it was too much. Her body felt like glass as she sat frozen between the wall of rocks and the wall of man. Slowly, a deep quake started in her toes and traveled up. Her eyes rolled back in her head as her body quaked again. Theo knew what was happening, he had been with plenty of women to know, and the thought of Karen going through it made his sack tighten up immediately. "Oh God," he growled, working hard not to change anything and ruin her impending explosion "God yes Karen, Let it come," Her body quaked again, and then again, and slowly she arched her back off the wall, a low moan starting in the back of her throat. It took all of his control to keep doing exactly what he was doing instead of letting loose. He wanted her to have this, wanted to be the one to give it to her. "Come for me, Karen," He growled, a hint of his Alpha command coming through. Her mouth opened in a silent scream, and then she did. Her scream finally sounded as her body clamped down on him, with a massive gushing of fluid as her body quaked and convulsed. "Oh Fuck," Theo groaned as her hot release bathed his front and he quickly followed her off the peak. He ground himself against, her, his orgasm not nearly as strong, but still there. As she came down, her body still quaked, and she looked at him through glazed eyes that were filled with wonder. "Holy fuck," her voice was weak and scratchy. Theo couldn't help it. He laughed and the smile he gave her was so full of male satisfaction that if she could roll her eyes she would. "Just one more, right?" He asked smugly, as his knot began to go down after retaining itself for close to 2 hours. "Uuuunnh," was all she could reply, her body giving a final quake as his member finally popped free. They both looked down, watching the impossible amount of cum trickle out of her used hole. "Fuck that's hot," Theo whispered, his eyes glued to her hole as more and more slowly poured out of her. Karen just moaned, saddened by the loss of his fullness. He set her down gently, holding her steady by the shoulders and began to wash her. He took his time, every once in a while, still glancing down at her thighs as his spunk continued to slip out. "This isn't going to happen at the ceremony right?" She asked as her senses slowly began to knit themselves back together. He chuckled, watching that last bit of his essence flow down her leg. "No, Lass. You'll be knotted by the hybrid, not the wolf. We'll only be bound together for minutes instead of hours," She gave him a stupid smile "We were bound together for hours at the library," she reminded him smugly and he chuckled, finally finished with washing her and setting her on the bench. "True, but we also hadn't had sex in a while, you had been riled up, and it was also makeup sex," He gave her a wink "Needless to say I was quite riled up. That won't happen at the Ceremony. I have to keep my wits about me to help you through it," Karen just smiled up at him. "That makes sense," and then she fell silent just enjoying the show of her man washing himself. Once they were both clean, they made their way back down to the kitchen. They were just tucking into sandwiches when there was a knock on the door. Before either of them could get up, Becca poked her head in. "Hey guys!" she said, a knowing smile plastered on her face. "I figured I'd pop in and say hey since all the sex noises stopped. Y'all are loud," Theo laughed and motioned Becca further inside while Karen just sat there and blushed a pretty shade of pink. "Sorry Bec," she said meekly "I kind of completely forgot we share a wall with you," "Oh it's fine," Becca sighed dramatically, "I understand that I'm easily forgotten," All three of them chuckled as Becca sat down with them. "So, Theo, are you ready for the challenges tonight? or did you forget about those too in the midst of your galavanting through horny town?" Theo just shot her a smile, "No, I haven't forgotten. In fact I was in training all day, Karen here was helping me re-focus all of the excess energy I had," Becca scoffed and smiled while Karen looked at Theo in confusion. "Challenges?" she asked. Theo looked at her in surprise, realizing that he never got a chance to talk to her about what was taking place in just a few scant hours. "Shit," he muttered "I forgot to tell you, I'm sorry. I've been challenged by 4 wolves for my position and they take place tonight. I got caught in your intoxicating body and it completely slipped my mind," Now it was Karen's turn to scoff and roll her eyes. "Yes well, that's all fine and dandy, but what do these challenges entail? Like, fighting?" Theo nodded around another bite of his sandwich. "Yeah. Basically, each one had a one-on-one fight with me for my title. When I beat one, I'll go on to the next and so forth until each one is defeated, or one of them defeats me. It's pretty simple and straightforward," "You don't seem too nervous about it," Karen said calmly, though on the inside, she was nervous for him. Theo just gave her a look and then smiled. "I'm not nervous. I've had years to hone my fighting skills. I'm pretty good," he ended with a smug note and Karen laughed softly. "I hope so, with an ego that big," she jested while Becca laughed. "Seriously Karen, He'd pretty good," she said one her giggles died down a little. "Well, we'll see," Karen answered saucily and let out a shrill giggle when Theo tickled her sides. "Uh, oh," Becca said, trying to hide a smile while Karen glared daggers at Theo "Someone's ticklish," he said with a wicked smile, "Shut up," Karen hissed at him, her face blushing again. She tried so hard to keep that a secret. Theo just laughed and shook his head, before physically pulling her from her seat onto his lap. "I'm sorry," he said in mock atonement, "I won't do it again," "Right," Karen drawled out as Becca laughed. She sighed and settled into his lap, "So when are the challenges?" She asked, trying to get off the subject of tickling. "In about," Theo paused and leaned to look out a window at the sunset, "two hours or so," Karen sighed and slipped from his lap, grabbing their empty dishes. "I guess you should go get ready. I want your head fully in this thing tonight. Okay?" She said, trying not to let her nerves show. Theo just grinned, walked over to her and kissed the top of her head. "Yes dear." Changed Ch. 14 Theo took a deep breath, letting the cool forest air fill his lungs. He was kneeling inside the ancient stone ring where all major pack events took place. He could feel the power radiating from the stones around him, as well as from the pack that has all gathered in the raised benches off to the side. His wolf prowled close to the surface though he doubted that he would have to call on him tonight. Many of the wolves fought in human form. It was such a common occurrence, that many believed it was an unspoken rule to not shift. Still, Nick, the male Beta that challenged him was vicious, and Theo wouldn't be surprised if he did shift. He took another deep breath and a smile wormed its way onto his face. He slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at the benches. There, in the front row, sandwiched between Becca and Cody, was his woman, a smile just for him on her face. She sat with her back straight, and an air of confidence about her. Despite their banter earlier, he knew she believed in him. His wolf preened under her gaze, and Theo found himself excited for the fights, even if it was only to show off to his mate. He caught his train of thought and slammed the breaks. It would be no good thinking like that. True, he was good, but Bruin was also good. He gave his head a small shake to clear it and went back to focusing on the natural rhythm and power that swirled around this place. He only stirred again, rising to his feet, when he heard Brett begin to speak. "Tonight, 4 challenges have been issued against Theo, Lead beta and second in command of the Pack. All four will be held tonight, the first up will be Bruin, fourth in command, followed by Wiles an unplaced adult, followed by Nick, ninth in command, and ending with Annie, Lead female beta, tenth in command." Brett then motioned to Bruin who stepped forward, wearing only a pair of old shorts. Theo chuckled and shook his head while Bruin smiled back. "I'm looking forward to beating your ass, Pup," "Bring it on, Old Man," Theo taunted back as they began circling one another waiting for the signal from Brett. Karen leaned close to Becca as she watched the banter, "How much older is Bruin?" she asked softly, as she eyed the large wolf. Becca snorted and Cody laughed. "They are only a month apart," he said leaning in close to Karen, "They've been acting like that since they first met," "Ah," Karen said with a smile and was about to say something else when suddenly the two wolves converged. The fights had started. The signal from Brett has been barely visible, but both men saw it and attacked. Bruin got the first hit, a solid jab to the ribs, but it didn't faze Theo in the least. They quickly broke apart and circled again. Theo carefully keeping his eyes open for any weaknesses. Bruin lunged again and Theo dodged to the left, planting a quick jab to Bruins open side. Bruin grunted and turned, staggering to keep his balance. The next one to lunge was Theo, he faked to the left and landed a hard solid blow to Bruins right thigh. Bruin growled softly and attached again. This time it was a fury of fists. Theo dodged what he could and took what he couldn't, throwing his own punches and kicks right back. As the fight progressed, the punches grew harder, and soon the sound of flesh hitting flesh turned into snapping bones. Karen sat in her seat, awestruck. Theo moved with such grace and fluidity it was hard to seem him as a man. The fight was face-paced and hard, each snap of a bone made her cringe though she never looked away. Her gut clenched on one particularly hard hit from Bruin, which busted Theo's nose and caused blood to flow freely. "Easy," a gentle voice said in her ear, and she looked up at Cody, who had placed a hand on her shoulder. " They'll be fine, to be honest, they are holding back, this is more like hardcore warm up than anything," he gave her a small smile and she settled back down into her seat, unaware that she had been in the process of rising. "I know it's hard, but you need to remain stoic, unaffected by the injuries Theo sustains. The pack is also watching how you react to the fight as well, if his mate is worried, then they will be worried. Do you see what I mean?" Karen swallowed and smiled back at him, " Yeah, I do. Thanks, Cody," "anytime, and if you need to, you can borrow some of my emotions. I've been to tons of these things," Karen started and looked at him in shock, "How did you..." she trailed off "Theo went and did research on your kind when you first got here. He came back and told us about what he found. He said that not only can you control others emotions, you can also siphon them into yourself," Karen simply nodded, unable to form a reply. Part of her was annoyed that Theo discussed her to others, but she also understood why he did. She hadn't been willing to talk to him at all when he got back and he needed to talk to someone. The other part was grateful to Cody, for offering his help. Not many are so free with their emotions. She shot him a small smile. "Thank you, I doubt I will need to, but it is nice to know you're willing to help if I should" Cody only nodded his focus back on the match. And just as suddenly as it began, it was over. Somehow, Theo had flipped Bruin on the ground and had him pinned, a hand holding his neck to the ground. "Do you yield?" Theo's voice was strong as it echoed around the gathering. Karen couldn't help the shiver that went down her spine, or the smile that shaped her features as her Spyrim-half practically rolled around in ecstasy. Bruin smiled and lifted his chin, "I yield," Theo quickly jumped off of him and helped him to his feet. "That was fun, we need to spar more often," Bruin laughed, which caused him to cough and spit out some blood. "Yeah, though maybe next time you can pull the face shots a little? I'd like to keep all my teeth," They both laughed as they made their way over to Becca, who had moved from the stands to the side and set up a medical area. She went to work, quickly looking over Theo. "Nothing too serious, broken nose but it set wrong. Hold still," Theo groaned and glared at Bruin, "Find next time we'll pull the face shots," Bruin simply laughed as Theo grunted in pain while Becca re-broke his nose and straightened it out. "Drink this," she commanded to Theo as she turned her attention to Bruin, who was a little worse for wear. Theo chugged the foul tasting liquid, as he made his way over to Karen. His heart took a stutter step when she turned to him with a beaming smile. "You were pretty great out there," she said, immediately leaning on him as he took Becca's empty seat. "Yeah I know," he said with a cocky grin that turned into a grimace as he finished the drink. Karen took the cup and sniffed it, immediately holding it away from her and scrunching up her face as both Cody and Theo laughed. "Good lord!" she exclaimed as she coughed from the smell, "What the hell is that?" "It's Krocic," Theo said, gently taking the cup away from her and setting in on the ground. "It's a special drink that helps heal internal injuries and restores the drinker back to tip-top fighting shape. It's only given to those who are about to battle or who are fighting for their place in the pack. I get it because it wouldn't be fair to have me slowly worn down over the evening. Then the last person would have the best chance. So they each get me at peak performance, " he ended with wiggling his eyebrows "Psssh," Karen answered, even though she was deeply intrigued by the drink, "I could restore you back to tip-top shape without some nasty smelling gunk," "Oh yeah?" Theo said, his eyes gleaming with mischief, "Yeah," Karen whispered gently placing her faintly glowing hand on his, but he quickly pulled his hand away. "You can't sweetest, the others will see it as a form of enhancement, cheating. They could argue that my fight wasn't fair," He said quickly as he cupped her face trying to take the sting out of his words. Luckily, Karen understood and nodded, "Yeah, I didn't think about that," she said sheepishly though it was quickly covered by a seductive tone, "I'll just have to show you later," Theo chuckled and shook his head before kissing her on the forehead. Good lord his woman was going to kill him. "I look forward to it," he said with a wink before kissing her square on the lips. The kiss was brief, but meaningful and both their breathing was a little off when they broke. "I love you," Theo said quietly with a soft smile. "I love you too," she responded with a bigger smile as he got up to go meet his second challenger of the night. Theo stood with his arms crossed over his chest as he stared down the young wolf who had challenged him. He let himself smile slightly as they young one fidgeted across from him. Brett gave the signal, and a soft chuckle broke out in the crowd as neither of the men moved. With a chuckle of his own, Theo held up his hands. "Wiles, I will give you a chance to yield without the fight," he said kindly. It was obvious that the young wolf had bitten off more than he could chew. "Do you yield?" The boy swallowed and hesitated before his shoulders slumped down. "I yield," he said quietly. Theo walked over to him and clapped a hand on his shoulder. "You challenging me for my position, while stupid, was also brave. If you'd like, I'll set some time aside and we can spar together, get you in good fighting shape to challenge someone on your own level. How do that sound?" Wiles nodded but didn't raise his eyes from the forest floor. He quickly gave Theo a shallow bow and rushed out of the ring. Theo stayed where he was, waiting for the next challenger to enter the sparring area. There was no point in going over to Becca since he hadn't exerted himself. He did turn towards Karen though and gave her a smile and a small wave. He knew that he was acting like a lovesick teenager, but it didn't bother him. He didn't care what anyone else thought as he gazed at his mate. Maybe it was a good thing he had been looking at her, maybe not, but the sudden change of her expression, from happy to scared, was his only warning. The breath was knocked from his lungs as he hit the ground face first. The gathered wolves let out a collective gasp as Nick, the third challenger attacked without the go-ahead from Brett. Theo let out a vicious growl and quickly moved to turn them over, ignoring the blows that were raining down on his back and head. Before he could finish the move, Nick was off of him and pacing around him, a snarl on his face. Theo was quick to his feet and followed the same circular pattern as he stared in shock at the wolf before him. Unease filled his stomach as he noted to complete lack of humanity staring out from his opponent's eyes. "Nick," He growled, his unease growing with each passing moment. "DON'T LISTEN TO HIM BABY!! YOU GOT THIS!" Theo's head jerked in the direction of the shout. There, on the sidelines was Annie, an excited, rage filled smile plastered on her face. The distraction was all Nick needed before he attacked again. He landed a few good punches before Theo regained his composure and began to fight back. The men weren't holding their blows, and the sounds of fist hitting flesh echoed through the clearing. "Something's not right," Becca hissed to Karen and Cody "Who is that woman?" Karen asked, her own rage surfacing, her eyes were glued to the tall, blonde female at the edge of the area. "That's Annie," Cody answered softly, scooting closer until his body was touching her's from shoulder to foot. "She's the fourth challenger tonight, a beta, and the 10th in line for the Alphaship. She is also lead bitch, excluding Becca, who gave up the duties to run the hospital." Karen couldn't stop the growl that built from the back of her throat. "Karen," Cody said softly, pressing more firmly against her. Becca caught his tone and looked between the two people seated next to her. Karen wasn't aware of anything but Annie, and Cody was giving her an obvious Help me out look. She also pressed herself against the tiny human, who was practically vibrating with rage. "Karen," Becca said with a hint of sing-song, desperately trying to discreetly move Karen's attention away from the other female. "She's egging on the dude who just attacked Theo without warning. What the fuck is her problem?!?" "Hey!" Cody said a little more forcefully, as Becca looped her arm around Karen's shoulders. " Karen you need to focus on something else," She growled softly, not listening. Every instinct in her was telling her to defend her man against this wretched excuse for a female. "You're glowing," Becca said softly, forcing herself in front of Karen's line of sight. Karen blinked a few times, her gaze of the other female cut off by Becca's concerned face. "Theo will be really upset and lose his concentration if he looks over here and sees you glowing," Karen shook her head slightly and took a deep breath. Cody slipped his hand in hers and Becca followed his lead. "What do you need from us? Tell us and you can have it," "Calm. I need calm," Karen gritted out as she forced herself to look at the fight, which didn't help. It was obvious that the other wolf was using dirty tactics and it was also obvious that Theo refused to stoop to that level. Her hands clamped down hard like she was holding on for dear life. "I need LOTS of calm," Cody and Becca chuckled. While they were both also very upset about what was going on, they also understood the pack better. It was obvious that Annie had a beef with Theo and had managed to convince Nick to do anything he could to win. Still, they buried their feelings and projected a calm that Karen could feed off of. Cody grunted quietly when Karen allowed her powers to seek out the gift he was offering her. Is she feeding off of you? He sent the thought to his sister. I don't know. She replied, worry lacing her thoughts. Oh, you'd know. The feeling is... He paused as he took a deep breath. While there were no sexual feelings or thoughts, the energy racing through him caused his whole body to tighten and strain. Intense. I need you to feed me your calm to feed to her. I don't think I have enough. The rage she's feeling is off the charts. There must still be some residual uncontrollable feelings from her change. I'm also sure that she's truly feeling the mating bond which is also feeding her rage. Becca thought back to him as she poured all of her calm happy thoughts into her brother, who sighed in relief when the sensation of Karen's power dimmed greatly. A few minutes later, Karen also sighed and all three of them relaxed as her tattoo stopped glowing and her expression evened back out into her normal face. "Thank you," she said quietly, her muscles quivering slightly from being so tense. "I don't know what I would have done without you guys," She looked between the siblings and her heart swelled. At that moment, she realized that there was more connecting her to this pack than Theo. She smiled softly as their hands relaxed but didn't let go. Having them both with her helped ground her and keep her sane. She turned her attention back to the fight, pride filling her as she saw how bloody the other wolf was. Theo landed another heavy hit to Nick's rib cage and the other male dropped to his knees, gasping for breath. "Do you yield?" Theo asked coldly. Nick had been fighting dirty since the start and it was getting on his last nerve. "SHIFT BABY! YOU CAN BEAT HIM!" Annie cried from the sidelines again. Theo rolled his eyes and barely glanced her way, keeping most of his focus on the man in front of him. "No," The word was more growl than anything and in a blink Nick shifted. The pack gasped again, and many cried out in outrage. Shifting to wolf form was rare, and largely frowned upon. Many considered it a break in the rules. Shifting to Hybrid from actually WAS against the rules and was grounds for immediate demotion to the bottom of the pack in the best cases, and dismissal from the pack in the worst. "Really?" Theo growled, his exasperation evident as he eyes the hybrid standing in front of him. He shot Annie a look that said this is going to get him killed, but the lack of anything other than bloodlust chilled him. There was no way now that he was going to shift, he wasn't going to stoop down to dirty playing, not even in wolf form. He also wasn't going to risk killing Nick because Annie was out to get him. Man! This is going to hurt. He thought to himself before sending his next thought to Cody and Becca. I'm not shifting. There will be blood. Help Karen in any way you can. She's not going to like this. Nick let out a roar, and the fight was back on. Karen sat dumbfounded, her hands tightening on Cody and Becca again. "Why isn't he shifting?" She asked, a tiny note of panic in her voice. "Because shifting to Hybrid is against the rules and shifting to wolf is mostly frowned on. Even though he could get away with it, he's taking the higher road and is going to remain in human form," Cody said as calmly as he could. "But...But... He could get killed!" Karen said, her eyes never leaving the fight as more panic crept into her voice. "Karen," Cody said firmly, squeezing her hand. "Remember what I told you earlier. You need to remain stoic. It's going to be hard, Theo is going to get some nasty injuries, but you need to be strong for him," "He's going to be fine Karen," Becca chimed in "I'll be able to patch up any boo-boos and the Krocic will take care of everything else. He'll be good as new," Karen just shook her head, her eyes wide as dinner plates. She barely held in a small scream as Nick swiped at Theo, opening a large gash in his shoulder. "Karen," Cody said, a tiny bit of desperation in his voice. He could feel the crowd torn between watching the fight and watch Karen's reactions. "Open yourself, I'll feed you what I can. You just need to keep a lid on it. You can do..." He ended on a grunt as Karen's power ran through him again. This time it was different, there was no pulling sensation, just raw power. He immediately pushed calm into the power, but it didn't seem to help. What do I feed her?! He practically shouted to his sister whose eyes were glued on the match. Nick had landed another heavy blow. I don't know!! What distracts you best?? She replied her voice slightly frantic. FUCK!! Cody shouted before turning his attention back to Karen. He groaned softly and rolled his eyes. This was going to suck so hard. He thought of sex and the feelings associated with it. First he tried to send sensuality into the power, but it was largely ignored. Then he tried to convey the feeling of kisses and touches. Those were a little more effective, and Karen blinked slowly, confusion crossing her face briefly before the terrified look returned. Cody sighed, and silently begged for mercy and forgiveness. He gathered up all the need and lust he'd ever felt, which was a hard thing to do with the fight going on, and slammed it into the tiny human beside him. Karen gasped, and she whipped her head around to face Cody. Her breathing was heavy, as lust and need flowed through her veins. Automatically, she schooled her features into a calm mask, hiding the intense sexual feelings. "What are you doing?!" She asked breathlessly. "People always hide their feelings in public when it comes to sex," Cody ground out as he stared at an unmoving spot directly in front of him. "Tell me how is isn't cheating on Theo," she asked rage warring with the alien need. Changed Ch. 14 "He said to help you at all costs," Cody growled softly and adjusted himself. "If it makes you feel better, I'm not thinking about you. You're more a sister to me than anything. That would be gross," Karen didn't say anything else. It was taking most of her focus to keep her features schooled so the people around them didn't notice what was going on. Theo was breathing heavily as he dodged the attacks from the massive hybrid. His left shoulder was torn to shreds and he was pretty sure there was another gash somewhere on his abdomen though he was too amped up to feel where. Nick struck again, landing a glancing blow that still took some skin with it. "Fuck!" Theo growled as his thigh was set on fire. He quickly backed away and began his search for an opening, any opening to take down the beast in front of him. Karen stifled a gasp as a new wave of lust hit her. He must have seen the attack coming because it hit her before she could react to the latest blow from the hybrid. "Cody," She said quietly, her thighs clamped together as her body clenched around emptiness. "Fuck don't say my name like that," He groaned out. "It's your fault I sound like this!" she growled out and Becca stifled a laugh. Cody had told her what he was doing and regardless of everything, it was a bit funny. Karen shot Becca a look, but the other woman just squeezed her hand in reassurance. "Anyways," she began but flinched slightly as Theo narrowly dodged another swing. "Let Becca take over. She can help me now. You've done enough," Cody swallowed hard and nodded, letting go of Karen's hand like it was on fire. Before she even realized they had moved, Becca was on her left holding her hand. This time, instead of lust, intense happiness and joy filled her. Karen sighed in relief as the lust slowly faded away. "I should have had you help from the get go," She said softly, a small smile on her face as she looked at the took siblings. "Oh no, " Becca said. "I can only feed you this because I find it hilarious that my brother did what he did," Cody muttered something under his breath and re-adjusted himself, which caused Becca to laugh and Karen to smile. Cody didn't laugh or smile, his blood was boiling and his dick was harder than ever before. As hard as he tried, the lust that he had raised to aid Karen wasn't backing down. The only consolation to his predicament was that he could feel the other wolves around them relaxing as Karen and Becca made small talk while the fight was going on. Karen kept up the ruse of making jokes with Becca, her ability to laugh was only due to the joy Becca kept feeding her. Yet the whole time she was watching the fight intently. Still Theo danced around while Nick slowly wore himself out making swipe after swipe at the much smaller human form. The fight seemed to be going on forever, and Theo was trying his best to not let his fatigue show. Luckily, Nick was also fatigued and was getting sloppy. THERE! Theo's wolf spotted an opening and acting on instinct, piloted Theo human form. He feigned left, landed three solid hits to Nick's stomach and kidneys, and as the beast lurched away, he swung his leg out, knocking the hybrid to the ground. Within seconds, he was kneeling on Nick's chest and staring intently into his eyes. What little noise there was from the crowd was silenced as they watched the pair of wolves in the center. "FIGHT!" Annie's scream broke through the silence, but nothing happened. Both males and the pack ignored her. Suddenly, Nick growled and struggled, but Theo kept him pinned. Then slowly he began to shift to human. It was much slower than normal, and the realization hit the pack. Theo was forcing a change. It was a gift that only the strongest of wolves had. "Whoa," Becca and Cody whispered at the same time in awe. Karen had no clue what was going on, but she could feel the energy and knew that Theo was doing something incredible. Once Nick was fully human, he stopped struggling. Theo blinked and snarled softly at the man beneath him "Do you yield?" he growled out, his voice shaking from anger, hurt and exhaustion. Nick looked over to where Annie was standing and Theo followed his gaze. Annie stood their furious, arms crossed over her chest as she glared at them. Theo looked back down at Nick and shook his head. "Don't be a fool," he said, "If you do not yield, I have every right to kill you. You are already in deep shit for all the crap you pulled during your challenge. Yield," Nick looked back to Theo and sighed, his eyes weary. "I yield." Theo gave him a small shove before getting up. With his head held high Theo walked over to the tent where both Becca and Karen were waiting for him. Brett moved to the center of the area where Nick struggled to get up. He looked down at his former beta and shook his head in disappointment. "You have shamed yourself tonight. For your multiple acts of foul play, and breaking the rules of a challenge. I am stripping you of all standing. You are also being relocated to the main house, where you will be isolated for a few days. There is going to be a meeting to decide what if any further action is to be taken. I suggest you go there now. Becca will come tend your wounds after the last challenge," Nick simply looked at the ground and nodded, his head low. Theo made it to the first aid area without a single stumble, even though he was in a ton of pain. As he sat down, Becca made her way over to him with her supplies and Karen followed. Karen stood by while Becca cleaned his wounds. Once they were clean, Becca handed Theo a cup of Krocic. "Are you okay?!" Karen asked softly, touching his face with her hand " I am now," he said with a small smile as he looked up into his mates face. "Are you okay? I know that had to have been hard to watch," Karen didn't say anything but blushed a deep red while Becca snickered in the corner. Theo looked between them as he finished the glass of foul smelling liquid. "What?" he said suspiciously. Karen started to answer but could only stutter a few syllables, her guilt at what had happened crushing her ability to speak. Becca laughed louder and clapped her hand on Theo's newly healed shoulder. "You told me and Cody to help Karen get through that match in any way we could. Cody was the one gave her his emotions, and when nothing else seemed to calm her down and distract her, he came to me for help. I told him to use whatever he used on himself to distract him..." She trailed off and gave Theo a knowing look. Theo nodded his head and looked to Karen who stood there beet red, with tears brimming in her eyes. "I'm so sor-r-r-y," she said, her voice catching on a quiet sob. Theo was on his feet in an instant, wrapping her in his arms. "Shhh, baby," he said soothingly "I'm not mad. Not at all." He bent down and kissed her head as she buried her face in his chest. He held her for a minute before gently pushing her back, a smile on his face. "To be honest I find it kind of funny," he said as he gently wiped her tears with his thumbs "I know that he uses sex to distract himself from showing emotion, and I also trust that he wasn't abusing that or thinking of you. I also know that he wouldn't try to take you from me, AND I now have blackmail for life. So don't worry. I'm not upset," he smiled down again and she finally smiled back. "Just don't do it again," Karen let out a small chuckle and nodded, wrapping her arms around his waist and hugging him close. "It was so awkward," she whispered, though both Theo and Becca heard it, which caused them both to laugh. "I bet it was, but it helped you stay strong in front of the Pack, which is very important," Theo said softly before kissing her in earnest. The fight had stirred up his wolf and with the Krocic running through his veins it was hard to keep himself from taking his mate right there. Soon both Theo and Karen were lost in the kiss, their bodies furiously grinding together. The sound of a throat being cleared was the only thing that brought them back to reality. Theo broke the kiss and turned to see Brett standing there, one eyebrow raised and a small smirk on his face. Theo just shrugged and smiled, stepping slightly in front of Karen who was blushing and trying to set herself straight. Brett shook his head and smiled for real. "I have some good news," He said, "Annie turned tail and left the clearing, she forfeited the challenge and her right to ever challenge you again. You've won the challenges and your place has been solidified in the pack once more. Well done," Both men then clasped hands and Brett led Theo, who was clutching a still blushing Karen to his side, out into the center to the area again. Brett turned to address the pack formally, even though they all knew what was going on. "As per the rules of challenging, Annie, who never entered the ring, has forfeited her challenge tonight and her right to challenge Theo in the future," The pack murmured slightly but quickly quieted down again when Brett continued, "Theo has won all of his Challenges, with three yields and one forfeit. He has re-solidified his position as Lead Beta and Second to the Alpha," The pack jumped to it's feet as they cheered and clapped for Theo. Theo just smiled and bowed slightly to everyone before walking back out of the circle. He and Karen quickly met up with Becca and Cody. Theo smiled and turned to Karen. "Why don't you and Becca head on back to the house, I'll be there soon okay?" Karen started to protest, but Becca gave her no choice and grabbed her arm, basically dragging her away. Theo smiled as they left, though when he turned to Cody, the smile slowly slid off his face. Cody simply shrugged and looked at the ground. "Tell me that you weren't thinking of her and that you don't want her," Theo said quietly, his wolf pacing his mind. Cody's head shot up and his face grimaced in abhorrence. "Dude! NO! She's like a sister. That'd be nasty!" Theo let out the breath he didn't realize he'd been holding. "You really couldn't think of anything else to try and distract her with?" Theo asked half joking half not. Cody shrugged and he ran his head around his neck. "I tried. I really did, she was so focused and scared it was impossible to get through to her. I knew that people, especially human females are always taught to hide any intense sexual feelings in public. It's almost an innate response to stuff like that," Theo simply nodded and clapped Cody on the shoulder. "I understand. Plus, it worked, so I can't be too mad," He grew serious again. "However, if you do it again, I'm going to kick your ass to last Sunday. Got it?" Cody couldn't help but laugh and nod. "I got it," "Good," and with that Theo turned and walked towards his home where his mate was waiting for him.
