Her parents were always fighting, and there never seemed to be much happiness in their relationship. When she was a little girl, she remembered her dad taking her and her brother, Paul, to a few nice places, but they never went out as a family. Because of the tension between her parents, Kay stayed in her room making up games for herself and trying to keep out of their way. Things changed for her in junior school. It was then that she discovered she had a rare talent. She was good at baking. Oh, it started off with simple things that children learn to bake at school like biscuits and small cakes, but soon Kay found she was good at other things and would often just make something out of the ingredients that were in her mom's cupboard. She enjoyed experimenting with different things and making up recipes. As she created more recipes, she started compiling a book of them for future reference. Throughout her childhood, she continued experimenting by making things for family, friends and neighbours. She was so good at baking that she went to college to become a chef. Once she completed college, she became a chef in trainee at one of the top hotel in Surrey. Gradually she worked her way through all the departments of the kitchen. It was when she worked in the pastry and confectionary department that she decided that it was the department that she liked the best. After a while she began experimenting at work and was soon recognized by the Assistant Head Chef, Richard, for her hidden talents. "Kay, I would like you to select one dessert that you would like to present to the hotel customers," Richard stated. Kay was so excited. She thought This could be my big break. I have to pick a dessert that will really knock the customers' socks off. After some thought, she decided to make her Hot Chocolate Fudge cake. It was a family favourite which she first made when she was 10, and although that was nearly 11 years ago, her family still loved it. She carefully made a sample of her Hot Chocolate Fudge cake for Richard. He was astonished with the taste and texture of the cake. It was so good that it was added to the dessert cart and the customers went wild for it. Soon Kay's Hot Chocolate Fudge cake was on restaurant's menu and she became a great pastry chef. She also had a fantasy of owning a cake business to create special cakes for everyone. In her spare time, she began working to make this fantasy come true. She advertised her beautiful cakes in the local newspaper and soon she had a good client base for her cake business. Although Kay had a successful career and her own business, she was not happy. She wanted what every young woman wants, to be loved and to have a family, but she never met a man with whom she could fall in love. Since she was a romantic at heart, in spite of the constant fighting between her parents, she wanted to wait to have sex with the man with whom she was in love. Until her Prince Charming came for her, she was content to remain a virgin, no matter how long it took for him to find her. As she approached her 21st birthday, Kay began feeling rather strange, almost as if she had something inside her that was trying to escape. It was quite unnerving. She also noticed that if she thought about an object really hard she could make it come to her. Other strange things began happening to her. She was late for work one morning and as she finished getting ready in her bedroom, she thought I should really be in the car by now. Then suddenly she was in her car without recalling how she got there. She seemed to do things much faster than she used to and she could walk extremely faster for great distances without getting out of breath. She called what she was doing walking because it required very little effort from her at all. She was always good in track and field, but now she did those same exercises with little or no effort. In fact, what she considered running then was a moderate pace now. All of these new abilities were starting to scare her. She was at work thinking about all of the things that she could do when she began feeling really confused. The more she tried to come to grips with her new abilities, the more confused she became. With the increased levels of confusion, she became extremely tense, so she decided to take a break and go for a walk in the local park. She liked walking in the park. It was her place to stroll or sit and think, as she did often. After walking for a while, she decided to sit on a bench to ponder her problem. When out of nowhere, a man she had never seen before appeared and sat next to her. He placed a briefcase in his lap and began writing on a paper of paper which he laid on top of it. He is sooo handsome, she thought. She studied him discreetly for a while. He was tall, about 6 feet 4 inches she guessed, with long, black, wavy hair tied back with a leather band and the cutest face she had ever seen. Without warning, he stopped writing and looked directly at her. He had brilliant green eyes. He noticed her looking at him and smiled. They began to pass the time of day. "What's your name?" he asked. She said, "Karen, but everyone calls me Kay. What's your name?" He said, "Bradley, but please call me, Brad." ------------- Bradley Bradley noticed the young women sitting on the bench lost in thought as he searched for somewhere quiet to write down his thoughts. He was going to continue to the next available bench, but something drew him to her, so he sat next to her. She smelled of sugar and chocolate to him. As he thought about what drew him to her, he decided it was her smell. She had long, waist-length, golden, brown hair which seemed to glint in the afternoon sun. Her eyes were an almost, dazzling blue. She had a pretty face but was slightly overweight. More of her to love he thought, then wondered Where did that come from? They exchanged pleasantries to pass the time of day. He asked her name and she asked his name. She told him she worked as a chef in the White Cat Hotel and liked experimenting with different ingredients to see how it would turn out. Time was getting on and he had to be at a pack meeting, so he reluctantly said goodbye and walked away. As he was walking away, he thought it strange that he had never noticed her at the White Cat Hotel before, as it was run by were cats. He wondered if she knew what her bosses were. -------------- Kay Kay was amazed. She usually did not talk to strangers in the park, as you cannot be too careful these days. But it was if she was drawn to him. She even told him where she worked, which she had never done before. Only a few of her close friends knew where she worked. It was safer that way. She found out quite by accident, while she was in high school, that she was different from other people and tried to hide her differences. She did not think that she was a regular person but didn't really know what she was. She was strong and did not take long to heal when injured. Her ears and eyes were more sensitive than other people's. She knew her father had some of the strange talents that she noticed in herself, but nothing was ever said at home to her. With both her parents now gone there was no one to ask. She chuckled to herself while walking back to work as she remembered telling Brad about her experiments with ingredients. That was something else she never talked about with strangers. All through the afternoon while working, she could not get Brad off her mind. She wondered what it was about him that attracted her so. It was like they had this invisible bond somehow. Very strange she thought. ------------- Bradley Bradley arrived at his office but could not seem to stop thinking about the girl, Kay, he had met in the Park. Jason, his second in command, entered his office and seeing he was thinking about something intently, cleared his throat to get his attention. There was a pack meeting that night because the elders were concerned about the recent crimes involving a number of the hotels in the area. "Jason, can you check on the staff at the White Cat Hotel, especially the kitchen staff?" Bradley said. "Okay, but can I ask why?" Jason said. Bradley said, "I want some information about one of their chefs. She said that everyone calls her, Kay." Jason asked, "Do you know her last name?" Bradley answered, "No, but she works in the confectionary side of the kitchen." "Okay," Jason said, "I'll get the information you want." Jason left and Bradley sat in his chair pondering how he could find out more about Kay. He finally decided to ring Nigel and Linda, who owned the White Cat Hotel, and ask them about Kay. He had known Nigel a while, since they went to college together. He and Nigel were both were cats, although from different groups, and they got on extremely well. Bradley often went the White Cat Hotel for area meetings as he was in command of the whole of the Surrey area as well as being Alpha of the Black Wolf pack. It was strange that he was Alpha of the Black Wolf pack, considering he was half cat and half wolf. He related more to his wolf half and his animal was a black wolf. He phoned Nigel, "I was wondering if you can make time to see me tomorrow." As the phone rang, he decided it would be better to ask the questions he wanted to ask about Kay in person. Nigel said, "Sure, why don't you stop by at lunch." "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow at your hotel for lunch, later," Bradley happily agreed. Presently, Jason came back with a little information on Kay, "Alpha, Her name is Karen Angelica Potter or Kay as you refer to her. She is 20 years old. Kay has been living in Surrey since leaving her home town of Birmingham over 2 years ago. She has a small cottage by the river called "Riverbank" cottage and she lives there alone. Both her parents are dead and she has no siblings. I'll do a more thorough check and get back to you later." Jason was curious and asked, "Bradley, what's so special about this young woman?" Bradley said, "I think that I have found my mate, but I'll need to get to know her better to be sure." There's something strange about her, he thought, I can't put my finger on it, but something feels odd. That night Bradley and Jason went to the pack meeting and discovered that there was a pack of rogue wolves which would have to be dealt with quickly. Bradley organized a group of men to locate and capture the rogues. When he left the meeting, Bradley went to bed with a smile on his face realizing that tomorrow he was going to the White Cat Hotel to have lunch with Nigel and hopefully to have most of his questions answered about Kay. ----------------------------- Kay When Kay finished for the day she went to see Linda to confirm that the Anniversary of the opening of the Hotel was in 3 weeks. They would celebrate 100th year Anniversary of the White Cat hotel. Linda had asked Kay to make a special dessert for that day and Kay wanted to make sure that she still had plenty of time to create it. "Linda, the Anniversary is in three weeks, right?" asked Kay. "It sure is," answered Linda. "Is there a problem?" "No. I just want to make sure that I stay on top of my time schedule," Kay answered with a smile. She had always liked Linda and got on well with both Linda and Nigel. Nigel was on the phone while she talked to Linda. He was laughing and joking with the person on the other end of the line. After getting her answer, Kay continued to her car and went home. She loved her cottage by the river. It was hers. She had bought it after her mom and dad died 2 years ago when she decided she needed a change from where she grew up, Birmingham City. Kay's cottage was larger than what most people expected it to be because she added an extension for her extremely large kitchen. This was where she did her experiments and worked on special cakes for people who ordered them off the internet site she set up a few months ago. She got out the car, picked up the grocery bags from her earlier shopping trip and unlocked the front door. In the front yard, Kay had a garden that contained a variety of flowers and herbs. She had a patch for the special flowers as she called them, flowers that her mom had grown. She kept cuttings of them and grew them in the greenhouse until she planted them here. There were 4 varieties of Dahlia's and 2 varieties of Roses as well as Sedum which Kay had grown from seed. Inside the cottage, Kay had an open-plan living room on one side. It was covered from floor to ceiling with bookshelves containing her cookbooks and the romantic novels that she loved. Kay was not one for watching television. Although there was a 52 inch flat screen TV mounted on the living room wall, it was very rare she had it on. She had a soft, leather, three-piece living room set in cream and a coffee table and matching occasional table made of marble with glass tops. The cottage contained a formal dining room and a study as she did a lot of paperwork for her home business as well as for her job. The cottage had 4 bedrooms but she had uses for all of them. Her main bedroom housed a king-sized canapé four poster bed with a quilt cover of a white tiger on it. All around her bedroom were shelves of white tigers. She collected white tiger statues. She also collected teddy bears and another bedroom held this collection, nearly 3,500 bears, on the walls, hanging from the ceiling, on shelves and on the floor. It could be called a bit barmy, but Kay loved them and was always looking for new ones. You could call them her children. Another bedroom was used to store her junk, things she had not found a place for but could not bear to part with. The last room held her sewing gear as she did a lot of sewing to unwind. Kay went into the kitchen, put the groceries away, made herself a cup of coffee and went to check her email. There were a few orders for birthday cakes, and there was a message from her friend, Sonia, back in Birmingham. Kay sat and thought about Sonia. She missed her sometimes, especially in the evenings. Sonia had been a close friend, and they would often have a girls' night watching a film together or experimenting with different recipes and pinching ideas off one another. Kay answered Sonia's email and went to the kitchen to warm her dinner, which she cooked the previous day. She was having spaghetti bolognaise with grated cheese on top tonight. She poured herself some orange juice, turned on the classical radio channel and pondered her day. She was still thinking about Brad as she got ready for bed. She wondered what he looked like without his clothes on, would he be muscle bound or not. She wondered whether he had a big cock that he could pound into her and make her into a woman. Having thoughts of Brad pounding her pussy, made Kay horny, so she got her rabbit vibrator out and started running it down her body. She circled her nipples and navel with it. Its vibrations caused her nipples to get very hard. She went lower with it and circled her vagina with it. She was getting very wet as she inserted the vibrator into her pussy. She imagined it was Brad's cock and started pumping it her pussy hard while her other hand was playing with her clit and massaging it. She was soaked and soon came hard. She went to the bathroom to clean up. She could not believe how hard she came just thinking about Brad, and she wondered if she would ever have the courage or the opportunity to have sex with him. With that thought, Kay went to sleep. The next day she got up early put on jeans and a t-shirt with a picture of a white cat, slid her feet into a pair of white trainers and went for a run to the village to get the morning paper. On the way home she had a strange feeling, her skin felt like it was rippling. She looked at her hands and could see her bones moving underneath her skin. Kay ran home not realizing that she was running really fast. She was running about 40 miles an hour. Luckily for Kay she didn't see anyone on the way home. She made it into the house still feeling strange. She took a shower, changed into a pretty thin lilac dress and sandals, went out the house, locked the door and got in her car to drive to work. To be Continued. ------------------------------------------------ This Chapter has now been edited by Sexydream and I am resubmitting it. I hope people will make a comment on it and send me feedback. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 02 Chapter 2 At Work When she got there she went to her locker took off her dress and sandals and put on her black and white checked trousers and white jacket which is the uniform she always wore at work. Put on her safety shoes and pinned her hair up and put on the hat and hairnet to keep her hair in place while she worked. The morning passed quickly for Kay but she kept having fades in and out as she called them. By lunch time she was hot all the girls were doing nicely in the kitchen and she went to find Richard the deputy head of the main kitchen and told him she was taking a break outside. Kay managed to get outside without a problem and went to sit on the bench by the river where she always took her breaks. She had been there about 15 mins when Donna came out to see her. Donna was a good girl and was learning fast she was Linda's niece and Kay had taught a few things that she hadn't taught the other girls. Donna was more sensible and she also knew that something was wrong with her. Donna and Kay were sitting on the bench chatting when Kay became aware that something was very wrong and something was going to happen to her. All of a sudden she was in pain again like her skin was on fire and she couldn't stop it then she lost control of her body and it started fading again slowly her body became terribly hot, almost burning her skin began to ripple Donna started to panic and screamed Kay looked like she was going to burn up right in front of her. Then Kay paced out. Donna ran to get Linda quickly after running in the kitchen to tell Richard what had happened he came out with a blanket and put it on Kay. When Donna got to the office and knocked on the door she was crying and went straight in to Linda but she wasn't alone Nigel and Bradley were with her. Linda asked her what the matter was and when she told them about what happened to Kay they all rushed out. When they got back to Kay she was sitting up on the bench with a blanket wrapped around her and a glass of water in her hand. Kay was still in pain and shaking quite a bit and then she started feeling hot again and it happened again. Kay wondered what was happening to her and she became scared and started crying. It was weird watching Kay Bradley thought because one minute she looked normal and next she was bright red with very deep blue eyes. Bradley, Linda, Nigel, Donna, Richard and Jason all looked at one another as Kay came back to normal and collapsed again. Bradley took one look and picked her up and carried her inside they went into the common room and layed her on the sofa. Nigel went to the office and phoned Mason. Mason was the packs doctor. Linda went to get more blankets and Donna sat holding Kay's hand. Richard went back to the kitchens and carried on working asking them to tell him of any developments with Kay as soon as they could. Mason came with Jane his nurse and asked everyone to wait in the other room. Kay was coming round again as Mason was checking her blood pressure. Hello Mason said and introduced himself and his nurse. Mason told Kay he was a doctor and Nigel had phoned him to come check on her. Kay was glad she had heard of Mason before and wasn't scared of him even though he was a very big man, he had a gentle face she thought. Mason asked Kay to explain what had been happening. Kay was glad to finally tell some one as she was getting very scared. So she told him that she was very strong, could run really fast but had never checked how fast. That her hearing and eyes were a lot sharper lately. She told him about her skin rippling this morning and told him the burning feeling which had been happening for about 6 months now but usually she managed to control it a bit so that it never happened in front of anyone. She told him how at these times her skin felt on fire and the pain was enormous almost as if something was trying to get out of her but, she didn't know what. Mason asked Kay if her parents were still alive and were they human. She told him she always thought they were human but her dad had been really strong and fast like her. Both her parents had died. Mason asked her how old she was and she told him she would be 21 a few days ago. Kay asked Mason what he thought was happening he said he would have to check it out as he didn't want to frighten her at this stage. But he had a good idea what it was. Mason left Kay talking to his nurse and he went to find the others. They were in Nigel's office when he entered. Bradley and Nigel both started talking at once. Mason told hem what he had found and he had given instructions for Kay to rest. He told them that he thought that Kay was going into a shift soon. He told them it was strange that she hadn't shifted before. Bradley asked if there was a room available in the hotel Kay could have for the next few days. Linda said the penthouse suite was free and she could use that for now. Mason said he wanted Kay to rest and not get out of bed for the next few days, that he was giving her some medicine to help with the pain and put her to sleep for a while. When Bradley and Mason went back to the common room it was to find Kay fast asleep. So Bradley picked her up and took her in the lift to the penthouse and lay her on the bed. Jane came in and stripped Kay's uniform off her and left her in her underwear and then sat beside the bed taking her pulse and blood pressure. She left the room. Bradley said he would stay for a while. -------------------------------------------------------- Bradley: Bradley sat in the armchair by Kay's bed. Watching while she slept. He thought back to what Mason had said in the office. It was strange if Kay was getting ready for her first shift, why hasn't she shifted before. By rights she should have been able to shift after her first birthday. But he realised that Kay did not even know that she could shift, he wondered why that was and why her parents had never told her or showed her how to shift. Kay started squirming on the bed and tossing and turning, moaning she was going very red again and then she started screaming. Bradley moved quickly to Kay's side and then Nigel crashed through the door followed by mason who gave her a shot of pain killer. Kay was really hot, Bradley rushed to the bathroom to get a flannel for her head. She wouldn't stop screaming, so Bradley got on the bed and held her try to calm her down a bit and was talking softly to her and brushing the hair off her face. He just held her in his arms until she finally started to relax a bit. Kay opened her eyes they were bright blue again and she seemed to pull Bradley nearer and then she passed out again. Bradley tried to get up and move back to the armchair but, Kay wouldn't let him go every time he moved she would whimper so he stayed with her and let her rest her head on his chest. Soon they both fell fast asleep. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 03 This chapter is non erotic Chapter 3: The Next Day. Kay woke up feeling really relaxed and safe. A feeling she hasn't had in a long while. She had her head on Bradley's chest. Bradley was still lying on the top of the bed with her under the bedclothes. She had to move really slowly so she wouldn't wake him. She desperately need the bathroom. She managed to slip out of the bed and head for the door on the left side hoping it was the bathroom. She was amazed by the size of the bathroom it was nearly as big as her kitchen at home. While using the loo she looked around the room. There was a large heart shaped bath sunken into the floor with gold taps. It was that big you could easily bathe with someone else. It had gold taps as well as settings for bubbles. There was a walk in shower on the far wall which also had gold fittings. Kay thought the bathroom was lovely and as there was a bath robe on the bath room door and nice towels stored on a shelf along with all sorts of bathing products so she decided to have a shower. She chose lavender shower gel and shampoo. When she finished her shower, she put on the white bath robe and went back in the bedroom. The bedroom was also luxurious as the carpet was the kind when you walk on it your feet seem to sink into it. The bed she had slept in was a king sized four poster bed with peach satin sheets and fancy drapes around it. There was a nice bedroom suite consisting of dressing table and a set of draws and 2 double wardrobes, all done in mahogany with gold handles on the doors and draws. A nice armchair in one corner by the window. While Kay was looking round the room Bradley woke up. Hi Kay how are you feeling? Said Bradley. Oh I'm feeling a bit better, had a shower. Kay said. Bradley got up and went to the bathroom himself to have a shower. He came out also in a white bath robe that was in the bathroom. Kay had wondered into the a joining sitting room which had a nice long sofa in plush velvet in a soft brown colour with pale brown cushions on it. There were 2 armchairs to match opposite each other around a log fire effect fire place. On the other side of the room was a dinning table and six chairs and it had a glass top. There was also a wall mounted TV and lots of scatter cushions on the floor. Bradley came in and they started to chat for a bit. Kay said How did I end up here, the last thing I remember is been outside sitting on the bench with Sonia. You don't remember anything what happened yesterday asked Bradley. No only feeling rather hot like my body was on fire. Bradley told Kay about her passing out and Mason coming to check on her and Linda offered this penthouse suite to her until she felt well enough. They decided to order breakfast from room service. Bradley had a full English breakfast while Kay just had cereal and toast and they both had coffee. Well I suppose I better get dressed and go down to work said Kay. Are you up to it said Bradley, he didn't think so as she still looked a little off colour. I cannot sit around all day Kay said. Bradley phoned down to Nigel and asked him to get Mason to come and check her out. Kay asked Bradley about his work and didn't he have to be in work now. I'm ok for a bit longer said Bradley. Then his mobile went off and he went and got it from his jacket. Seeing it was Jason his second in command he told Kay he had to take it and went onto the balcony to take the call. Hi Jason what's up? Hi Brad, I've done some more checking on your chef like you asked me to said Jason. It seems that she has got 1 brother Paul but for some unknown reason they haven't been in touch for a couple of years now and there is a Uncle Henry who is Kay's lawyer and he has offices in London in Bond Street. Seems that Kay's mom wasn't her real mom as Kay was adopted when she was 18mths old. Her brother is her adopted brother but I cannot find much out about him other than the fact he was working in London for a while and then just seemed to disappear. Anything else said Bradley. Jason said that there was another break in at another hotel called The Black bear but other than some offices that were ransacked nothing was taken. Do you think it is related to the other 2 break ins Bradley asked. Not sure said Jason but have a team investigating it for you anyway. Jason can you managed without me this morning as I feel I really must stay here for a while said Bradley. No nothing urgent said Jason but will keep you informed of any developments. They said goodbye to each other and Bradley closed his phone. While he had been out on the balcony the doctor had arrived. By the sound of it Kay was arguing with him about going down to work. I just cannot justify sitting here when I know there is so much to be done in the kitchen today. Kay said. Kay Mason said it is unwise to go to work while you are still feeling so weak and you look a bit peaky. Kay was pacing back and forth and making her hands into fists and her eyes were turning from the light blue they usually are to the deep blue she had yesterday just before she passed out. I want to go to work Kay said. Sorry said Mason I can't pass you fit. Bradley stepped into the living room and asked what was happening. By this time Kay was angry and she said he won't pass me fit to work and I cannot stand hanging around doing nothing. Hey I have an idea Bradley said We could go out for the day and relax somewhere and get to know each other a bit better. Kay was still a bit upset and begrudgingly agreed. They got dressed in the clothes they had on yesterday and went downstairs. Bradley stopped by Nigel's office and said he was taking Kay out and would see him later. Kay went to her locker and changed into her dress and sandals and picked up her purse and car keys and house keys. Kay's car was a Volvo Estate car which had seen better days. It was the one she always drove to work she did have another one in her garage. A lilac sports car MG to be exact that her dad had bought for her but she hadn't driven it for a while now. When she got to her car Bradley was waiting for her leaning against her car. Hey not trying to ditch me are you he said. No she said. Bradley was amazed at the state of Kay's car and wondered whether it was safe enough to drive. He thought he would get his mechanic Basil to have a look at it to make sure. Brad I must go home and change and check my mail before I can go anywhere with you Kay said. Lead the way then I will follow in my car that way we can put yours away and use mine. Brad had a big blue SUV with bullet proof windows in it. The interior was down in a nice soft creamy leather with a wooden panels. Brad liked it and found it easier when commuting between pack and council meetings and Wolf Haven in the countryside. So they each got into their cars and drove to Kay's cottage. ------------------ At Kay's Cottage When they got there Kay drove round the back and parked her car. She noticed that her back door was open. Funny she thought I know I locked it. She started to get a funny feeling again. Bradley noticed that Kay had stopped and wondered what the matter was. What's up Bradley said. My back door is open and I know I locked it Kay said. Stay here Bradley said. Bradley went to the back door slowly and pushed it open the place was a mess things thrown everywhere he slowly went into Kay's hall which was also a mess as was the living room. He went up the stairs as quickly and quietly as he could. Feeling his wolf close to the surface of his mind he let it come forward just a bit as his senses where much sharper in wolf form. All the rooms where ransacked on this floor but there was no one here anymore. Kay was getting a bit scared outside and gingerly put her head in the back door leading to her kitchen as Bradley came through. There is no one here anymore? By this time Kay was shaking and Bradley rushed to her taking her in his arms and holding her close to him. All of a sudden Kay struggled to get out of his arms and rushed out of the room and upstairs. Bradley followed wondering what the matter was. Kay went straight to the room where her teddy collection was and moved a trunk from the wall. Behind the trunk was her safe and thank god it hadn't been touched. Bradley came into the room. Kay what is the matter, Why did you run said Bradley. Kay looked at him and wondered whether she should tell him or not, deciding that she could trust him. She opened the safe. I think this is probably what they where looking for because I can't think of anything else they would have wanted, Kay said. What is that? Bradley said. Kay removed a silver box from the safe almost like a safety deposit box.But it had a carved Tiger's head on the lid. I have had this box since my parents died Kay said. What is in there Bradley asked. Kay placed the box on the floor taking a small key from aroung her neck she opened it and in was the most beautiful necklace that Bradley had ever seen it was a long thick silver chain and hanging from it was a heart shaped pendant in blue. Looking closely Bradley noticed it was a sapphire. It is flawless Kay said and she had been given it by her mother when she was 18 a year before she died. There were other things in the box a fire diamond bracelet and matching necklace was there also. They were in a small glass box. There were lots of papers also. I know there are a lot of important papers in here and I haven't been through them since my mom died 2 years ago this is the first time I have opened this box since the night she died, Kay said. Come on Bradley said pack some clothes and bring the box with you we are going to my house. Are you sure you don't mind me coming Kay said. Bradley said no I don't mind. He was smiling to himself as it was a chance to keep Kay save and get to know her better. While Kay went and packed Bradley rang Jason. The phone rang a few times and then it was answered. Jason get a clean up team over to Kay's cottage Bradley said. What's Happened Jason asked. The place has been ransacked, get an investigation team over her as well and see whether they can get any finger prints from the place, Bradley said. Jason asked how Kay was holding up. She seems a little shaken up but I think she is ok Bradley said. Brad what's her address. It's River Cottage on Tall Cedar Road Brad said. Ok said Jason will get right on it. I'm bringing Kay back with me she can't stay here Brad said. Where is she going to stay Jason asked. In my suite of rooms said Brad. Ok see you in a little while. Bradley closed his phone and went to find Kay. Kay was sitting in her bedroom just staring into space so it seemed. Bradley tried to get her attention but she seemed far away. He tried again getting slightly angry as it seemed to him she was ignoring him. Kay was communicating with her brother who by the sound of it was in loads of trouble. She had always been able to communicate like this with her brother Paul. Kay can you here me Paul said. Yes I can hear you, where are you Kay said. I'm been held in a white mansion somewhere along the river Paul said You have got to help me. What's happening Kay said. I've been here for days now and have been whipped constantly I don't know how long I can hold up Paul said. Kay could also here Bradley getting angry because she wasn't answering him. Are they still whipping you now Kay asked. No they have put me in the cellar and gone for a while I just don't know how long they have gone for Paul said. Ok will i get you some help. Kay sat blinking and finally answered Bradley. What was wrong with you said Bradley. I'm sorry Kay said I was silently communicating with my brother. He has been captured and tortured and is been held in a big white mansion somewhere near the river Kay said. I have to help him but I don't know how. Bradly said you have always been able to talk telepathly with your brother. Yes Kay said. Bradley said are your things packed and when Kay said yes they were he took her cases and she started loading the SUV. Kay was getting frantic she knew her brother was in pain she could feel it. Bradley will you help me find my brother by the sounds of it he is not going to last much longer. I will help Bradley said just lets get back to my place first and discuss the best way to handle this ok. Ok Kay said. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 04 Chapter 4 : The Black Wolf Mansion. When Kay arrived at Bradley's house, she was shocked at the sheer size of the place. It was four stories high. The brick work was a pebble dash effect that was beautiful. On the bottom level, the windows were stain glass with what looked like pictures of animals on them. When she got closer, she could see that the pictures were indeed animals, all kinds of wolves and large cats. Kay loved them and thought "They must be unique. I have never seen anything like them before." The entrance way was impressive. On either side of the door was a large statue of a black wolf. The delicate work on the statuses was amazing. She had to touch them to be convinced that they were not real. She entered the house and the entrance hall was massive. She looked around and discovered a large Muriel of a pack of wolves in the forest covering the entire ceiling. On the walls were more large paintings of wolves and large cats. She just stared at the one above the room she was about to enter. It was a large black and white tiger sitting on a log with three cubs lying by the side of it. As she entered the room, she noticed it was some kind of library as the walls were lined with books. She sat on the black sofa in front of the fire which was a real open fire with a marble hearth. The floor was a solid oak floor with a large mat on it, again with a wolf pack pictured on it. There was a large table in the centre containing a carving of a wolf. There were three windows in this room that were stained glass with wolves on them. All of a sudden Kay heard a scream in her head and knew it was her brother. She got up and started pacing. "Paul what's wrong," she said. "Paul said, "My captors are back and they are whipping me again." Kay yelled, "Oh my God," and Bradley came running. "We must find my brother before it's too late. I can feel him. They are torturing him. Please help me," she cried. Bradley called Jason, "I need you to bring Eric, Riley, Shane, Travis, Marcus, Sebastian, Sarah, Sam, Jillian, and Alexandra to my house AS SOON AS POSSIBLE." These were his betas and the warriors of his pack. He knew that his trusted friends would get the job done. Kay couldn't stop pacing. She was getting more and more scared and her skin was on fire again. She started to hurt even more than before. She knew she had to get to her brother quickly, but she wasn't sure she had the energy. Kay knew that Bradley, and most likely everyone coming, was not human, but she didn't care. She had to depend on them to save her brother. Jason came in with everyone for which Bradley had asked. Bradley said "Everyone this is Kay. We are going to rescue her brother who has been captured and is being tortured." Sarah asked, "How do you know her brother is being tortured and why should we help Kay get her brother back?" Bradley said "Kay can communicate with her brother through telepathy. She is a close friend and I want to help her." His answer seemed to satisfy everyone. What he did not tell them is Kay is his soul mate and that is why he is willing to help her. --------------------- Meanwhile not far away. Paul was hanging from the ceiling against the wall. He kept refusing to tell them where his sister was. He had a fair idea why they wanted her, but he wasn't going to tell them. He would die first. Beside, he did not know where Kay was. His back and legs were a mess and he found it hard to breathe, so quite possibly he had broken ribs. He knew he couldn't remain conscious much longer and hoped Kay got help and found him in time. "Oh God," he thought, "Johnson's back. Now, I am really in for it." Johnson was a mean son-of-a-bitch who used other things beside whips to try and break him. He had already tried torturing his private parts once before by putting something through his dick and by God had it hurt. But, he just kept reminding himself he must protect Kay at all costs and wouldn't relent. He remembered promising his father's brother, Uncle John just before he disappeared, to keep her safe. He knew that Kay wasn't his real sister. She was adopted and very soon, Kay would find out that she wasn't exactly normal. ------------------------------ Back at the Mansion. Bradley went to the garage with his team and Kay. To the side was a sliding door which opened into a Weapons room. They all armed themselves, except Kay who had never fired a gun in her life and didn't trust herself. They then got into 3 all black SUV's with bullet proof windows. They started down the drive. Once they reached the bottom, Bradley asked Kay, "Which way?" Kay asked Paul, "Which way do we go?" Paul said, "Follow my voice patterns, like we used to do when we were small." So, they turned right towards the river on Old Oakley Road. After they had gone about five miles, Kay could feel Paul closer. She told Bradley "We are getting close." Jason spoke up, "There is an old abandoned house not far from here." "That must be it." Bradley said. They went a bit further and stopped. There was a large forest to their right and just through the trees you could make out a large white building. Bradley told Kay, "Don't get too close. Let us do our Job." ------------------------------ The Rescue They slowly walked towards the house and stopping in the forest on the outskirts of the property. Kay said, "This is the house. I can feel my brother here." Kevin, Alexandra, Sarah and Jason made their way around the back of the building. Riley, Shane and Sam went to the left. Travis, Eric and Sebastian went to the right. Bradley, Jillian and Marcus went to the front of the building. On Bradley's signal they all converged on the property together. They shot the guards that were on the doors and quickly, silently went through the house. As they moved into the hall, they could hear screams coming from the basement. They removed their clothes and changed into their hybrid form of werewolf, in this form they had more control of themselves. They advanced on the stairs. Kevin killed the man at the top of the stairs by ripping out his throat. The door at the bottom of the stairs swung open as the men inside had heard the commotion. Bradley's team attacked at once, getting the remainder of the men. Everyone was dead now, except for Johnson who was backed into a corner by Bradley. Suddenly, Johnson tried to make a run for it, but Marcus slammed into him allowing Jason to grab his neck applying just enough pressure to subdue him. Bradley went upstairs for some manacles he had left with his equipment. On his return, the manacles were used to restrain Johnson until they discovered why Paul was tortured. Paul was slowly unchained by Bradley who asked Riley to go and get a stretcher from the SUV. "God, the poor guy was a mess," Bradley thought, "It's a miracle he had lasted as long as he had." There wasn't one bit of skin that wasn't covered in blood. They got Paul onto the stretcher and took him upstairs. Paul asked "Don't let Kay see me like this." Bradley said, "That will be hard since she is with us." Paul just closed his eyes and thought "I'm fine now, Kay. Stop panicking." He could tell that she was panicking through their link. Once they were in the hall, everyone dressed and went back outside. Kay was frantic. She had been sitting just outside waiting for Bradley to come out with her brother. When she saw them, Kay ran to them. Sam and Jason stopped her reaching the stretcher and told her "He is unconscious now." Kay wouldn't leave him, so Jason and Sam got into the first SUV with Paul and Kay to return to Bradley's house. The second SUV, containing Johnson, went a different route to the basement of the offices they used in town to question people. When they arrived at the office, Johnson would be placed into a cell for questioning that evening by the investigative team of the pack. The rest of the team cleaned up the area, deposed of the bodies, and went back to the mansion in the last SUV. ------------------- The Medical Unit. Paul was rushed straight to the medical unit while Jane, Mason and Nathan followed him. Nathan was the pack's doctor, while Jane and Mason were from Nigel's werecat pack. Nathan asked Kay to leave, but she didn't want to go. They had to practically drag her from the room. In the end, they sedated her and put her in another room, so the medical team could work on Paul. "Bradley came get Kay. "We had to sedate her and put her in the room across the hall", said Nathan. Paul woke up briefly and said, "Once you finish with me, I will heal better in the dark." Then he collapsed. Looking at Mason, Nathan asked, "Do you know what he is?" Mason answered, "No, we shall have to ask his sister when we can." Nathan turned on the recorder and started examining Paul. "Patient Paul has suffered multiple lashings to his back, chest, legs and private parts. He has several broken ribs and both legs are broken in 4 different places. It looks like something has been forcibly put through his penis. He has been raped repeatedly and has a broken nose." They started cleaning him and repairing the broken bones. In all, it took about 4 hours to get all the bones set and put into casts, so they could mend properly. Remembering what Paul said about the dark, Nathan turned off the lights when they put him in the room across the hall. When they had finished, Nathan and Mason went to find Bradley, while Jane stayed behind to clean up the mess. ----------------------------------- Debriefing Bradley had taken Kay to his suite and laid her on his bed, still unconscious thanks to the sedative that Nathan had given her. He was just coming downstairs when he spotted Mason and Nathan. They followed him into his office. Just then the phone rang. Riley said "We have taken Johnson to the integration suite below the offices and we are about to start questioning. "Bradley said "We need to find out: A) why they were torturing Paul, B) who was behind it and anything else you can get out of him." "Ok," Riley said and hung up. Once Bradley put the phone down, Nathan reported to him on Paul's condition. Nathan said, "Before we started working on him, he woke up and told us that he heals better in the dark." "Don't you think that is strange," said Bradley, "I will have to ask Paul or Kay about it when they wake up. "Nathan asked, "Can I check on Kay?" So, Bradley led Nathan and Mason to his suite to see her. ------------------ Bradley's Suite. Kay had only been asleep a short while when her skin started burning again. Although the sedative should have kept her asleep for a while, she was up when Bradley came in. She told him "I am burning up, again." All of a sudden, she had a strange feeling like her skin was trying to change. She was so scared and started screaming. Bradley grabbed her to try to hold her, but it was like her skin really was burning. Nathan touched her skin to see for himself what was going on. Suddenly, Kay's fingers turned into claws and she collapsed. Bradley and Nathan got her back on the bed. Mason said "It looks like she is having a shift, but I have never heard of one like this with the skin burning to the touch." Nathan decided that he would do some research and maybe ask his friend who was a wizard at these sorts of puzzles. At that moment, Jane entered to remove Kay's clothes. She put a nightshirt on Kay and settled her in Bradley's bed. After Nathan, Mason, and Jane left, Bradley removed his clothes and got into bed with Kay putting his arm around her to give her a bit of comfort. He knew he wouldn't get much sleep as he really was fighting a desire to mate with Kay right here right now. But he knew needed to wait. At least, she was in his bed with him. During the night, Kay started dreaming and the dream wasn't pleasant. She was 6 years old again listening to her parents arguing. She heard her mom scream and got up to see what was wrong. Unfortunately, her father saw her. He grabbed her and belted her hard before throwing her into the cupboard under the stairs. She started wrestling, crying and shouting out in her sleep. Bradley shook Kay to wake her and to find out what was the matter. When she awoke, she told him about her dream. Bradley held Kay tightly to his chest until she had calmed down a bit. Kay had a strange feeling of being safe again. It was funny, but every time she was this close to Bradley she felt an immense feeling of being safe. Kay didn't know what came over her, but she lent over and kissed him. Bradley was a little surprised but was soon kissing her back. Kay parted her lips and Bradley slipped his tongue in her mouth tracing the contours of her mouth with his tongue. Soon, Kay was doing the same to him. She broke the kiss and started kissing him down his neck. She continued down his chest, taking one of his nipples in her mouth and sucking it a bit. She heard a growl from deep within his chest. She stopped wondering whether she had over stepped the mark, but she had never felt like this before. She had no idea how to make love to someone, but oh God she knew she wanted him. Bradley ever so slowly started lifting Kay's night shirt. "God, she looks so good," he thought. "Ok so she isn't skinny like most women, but God she is lovely to me," He continued. He gently starting kissing her mouth then moved down to her neck. Moving slowly down her body, he took one of her nipples into his mouth twirling his tongue around it before gently sucking it. He repeated this on the other nipple. Kay began to shiver. She got hot then cold as his tugs on her nipple seem to bring about an immediate reaction in her clit. "This is amazing," she thought, "I had no idea that something could feel this great". Kay said "Before we go any further, you should know that I have never been with a man before. The only sex I have had has been with a rabbit vibrator." Bradley said "That is fine. We can take it slow. If you get to a point where you don't want to carry on, let me know, okay." "Ok", said Kay. Bradley once again took her nipple in his mouth sucking on one while playing with the other. He could smell her arousal and knew she was enjoying what he was doing. Kay ran her hands down Bradley's body feeling all the muscles in his arms, chest and back. "God," she thought, "he is the best specimen of man I have ever met and boy does he know what to do with his tongue." Bradley went lower using his tongue to play with her navel for a while before continue along his path. When he reached her clit, he started circling it with his tongue. He let his tongue shift a bit and started tongue fucking her. Kay couldn't believe what he was doing and felt this strange pressure building. Kay had never had an orgasm with a man before and was withering all over the bed. All of a sudden Bradley speeded up his licks sending Kay over the edge into her very first orgasm with a man. It felt great. Afterwards Kay felt drained, so Bradley lay beside her. Kay kissed him and fell asleep on his chest. Bradley was a little disappointed, but right now his wolf was satisfied. He had a taste of Kay and that satisfied him for the moment, but she was going to be his real soon. With this thought, he cradled her close and joined her in sleep. ------------------------------------ To be continued. I hope you like chapter 4 I've written five and six and my editor has them and will post them soon. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 05 Chapter 5: Love and Understanding. The next morning, when she awoke in Bradley's arms, Kay again felt safe. Being held by Brad was like coming home. It seemed that in his arms everything was so simple, straightforward and peaceful. Her skin was still feeling hot, but it was not burning up. Kay tried to communicate with her brother, but he must be still asleep as he did not respond. Brad felt Kay stir. "How are you this morning?" he asked. "I'm fine," Kay replied. She was really turned on just looking at Brad's body. "God he is handsome," she thought. "Brad, I'm horny. I need you badly," she panted. "Are you feeling strong enough?" Brad asked. "Yes, I'm fine," Kay said. Brad lent down to give Kay a soft, gentle kiss. His hand slowly massaged her shoulders and sides, and then slid easily over her belly into her pussy. Cupping her soaking wet pussy, his fingers rubbed softly at her pussy lips. Her breathing became heavy as his lips slid over hers continuing to the side of her throat where he gave gently nibbles. Leaving her throat, he moved downward kissing her shoulders and her breasts. Brad sucked her left nipple into his mouth stroking it gently with his tongue. Releasing it, he repeated the gentle suckling on her right nipple. Kay whimpered as her body tingle from the pleasure she was experiencing. The entire time that Brad was kissing and nibbling her he continued to stroke her pussy lips. Now, she was so wet that her moisture rolled down her butt crack and saturated the sheet under her. Brad paused to take a deep breath. His wolf was so close to the surface. He had to use considerable willpower for his human side to remain in control. He had to be careful because he didn't want to frighten Kay. He really did not feel that she was ready to come face to face with his wolf. His wolf would have to wait for the time being. Once he felt that his human side could prevent his wolf side from surfacing, Brad stopped to really admire her breast closely. They were truly a work of art. He never thought of himself as a breast man, but he changed his mind while admiring Kay's. She was about a 36 D, just enough to fill his palm. They were perky with nice rosy nipples that were about a half inch long. Her nipples made your mouth water. She had big areolas. They had to be at least six inches wide and were made to be licked. Brad thought, "I have not taken the time to worship her breast as they should be, but I am about to rectify that." He used his tongue to explore her areola. Even the little bumps around the nipple, were tasted and explored. Adjusting his position, he directed his attention to the underside of both breasts by making small circles until he was sure it had received the attention which it deserved. Brad continued his journey down her body until he was between her legs. By now Kay was so sensitive that she was barely able to move, but she spread her legs wide, drawing them back so her heels rested against the sides of her buttocks. He lay between her legs with his face against her crotch. Slowly his tongue began to work up and down her slit. Kay closed her eyes lying motionless as his tongue and fingers manipulated her clit and delved between the evermore moist lips of her cunt. Brad sucked on her lips, and then moved back to her clit to work on it again. He was grinding his teeth back and forth on it as she started to mewl in pleasure and hump slightly against him. Brad's hands caressed her buttocks as his tongue worked on her clit and pussy. He shifted his tongue a bit like last night, as she seemed to like it better. He slipped a finger into her cunt to the knuckle and worked it around gently. His tongue continued to slither back and forth across her clit as he started to slowly pump the finger in and out of Kay. Kay groaned loudly, her hands came down to his hair and caressed his head. He worked her clit with long, slow lapping licks. It was so good that it made her raise her ass in the air and move it in slow circles. His tongue pushed forcefully in between her pussy lips and sucked out her juices, then returned to her clit. Brad inserted his finger into her again, but his time he pushed past the knuckle. The one finger was joined by a second, then a third, pumping slowly in and out as his tongue moved faster on her clit. Then Kay suddenly gave a moan of pleasure and her hands pressed down hard on his head as she humped up at him. She jerked and shook as an orgasm rolled over her. It felt just as good as the first one, if not better. He slid up her body, his tongue suckling on her breasts again before he lay down on top her. She stared up into his face as her breasts pushed heavily against his chest. They enjoyed a long, slow gentle kiss, of certainty and pleasure. She could taste herself on his lips and found that she rather enjoyed the way that she tastes. Kay felt Brad's hardness pressing against her belly. Brad moved it lower, so it could enter her wet pussy and slowly pushed it in. Kay felt herself been stretched and it hurt a bit even though she had used her rabbit from time to time before this all started. This was the first time she had a cock inside her. Brad was huge. She may have never been with a man before, but she had seen movies and looked around in the Sex store when she purchased her rabbit. Brad could have been a very successful porn star. Kay thought, "I am glad that he is going slowly or he could really hurt me. He has to be at least ten inches long and three inches around." Brad started playing with her tits, squeezing, pulling and twisting them a bit while slowly pushing his cock further in her, bit by bit. To Kay, it felt wonderful even with the pain. She felt full to bursting. Brad pulled out a bit and pushed forward again. He continued working his cock in and out until he was able to put all of his hard long cock into her. Kay was so tight that Brad thought, "I better just lay here and give her an opportunity to adjust to my size. While he was waiting, Brad continued to circle her clit as he gently sucked her nipple. He did not move until he felt her tentatively move her hips. Feeling that he had received the go ahead, Brad slowly started pumping in and out of Kay's juicy cunt. She groaned involuntarily as his hard, hot cock filled her. Her cunt muscles clenched down as she enjoyed feeling his cock with them. She slid her arms around his body as she kissed him. Brad continued slowly moving his body up and down over hers while sliding his cock in and out of her pussy. He felt his wolf getting closer to the surface, but he had to stay in control so as not to frighten Kay. His wolf wanted to be fucking Kay as well and was getting pissed that his human wasn't letting him. Kay sighed with pleasure. She did not push back, just spread legs and enjoyed the sensation of being fully penetrated by his long, fat organ. It slid in and out of her body, rubbing persistently across her clit and bringing a new level of arousal to her. Her skin flushed with excitement as her body began to twitch and tremble with sexual bliss. Kay slid her hands down to his ass, squeezed it, and drew him in tighter. She slid her legs around him and shook her head from side to side. Brad rolled over, and now she was on top, a position she had always wanted to try. She straddled his hips, sitting on top his organ and gazing down at him. She bent forward and kissed him as he cupped her breasts and fondled them with his rough fingers. Kay pushed back into sitting position with her knees wide apart on either side of his hips. She rose pulling herself high above him so only the tip of his cock was inside her. Then slowly, wanting it to last forever, she slid down his shaft, letting it push up into her belly. God his cock felt so huge and she loved feeling every inch of it. As Kay rode him, Brad lay back and enjoyed the view. Her expressions were priceless. He could tell that she enjoyed being on top. Allowing her to be on top was giving him a minute to control himself. "I want to make sure that Kay orgasm first." Brad thought. So, he lay back and enjoyed the view. Kay expression was not the only thing that fascinated him, her breast were bouncing along with her. "This is probably the first time that they had this much activity without being in a bar," he thought. With that thought, he sat up and latched onto one of her breast applying more suction. Kay threw her head back and screamed, "God yes! Suck my tits hard! Bite my nipple! Oh baby, that feels good!" At that moment, she had such an intense orgasm that she almost blacked out. Brad couldn't believe how wild she had become in bed. He lay there softly stroking her back to give her time to stop the trembling from her orgasm. He held her until she stopped trembling and was back in control of herself, and then he thought, "It is time for me to take us both over the top." He pulled her down for a kiss, placed his hands around her back and head as they kissed, then rolled them over again. Now, he was on top once more. He began to fuck into her with harder strokes, his cock sliding back and forth across her clit as she shivered in excitement. Kay quivered and shook as she felt the orgasm high above her. It was a huge sparkling white cloud, vast and deep. It descended on her, engulfed her, and made her body shake, spasm and convulse in erotic ecstasy. There was just darkness when she had her first ever cock induced orgasm, so this cloud was a new thing all together to her. In fact, everything was new to her. Brad's cock plunged back and forth within her, and seconds later the cloud engulfed him also. Searing heat joined their bodies as his juices rushed into her joining her own. Feeling drained, Brad lay on top of Kay, but rested the majority of his weight on his arms which were on either side of her head. A few minutes past before Brad has enough energy to roll them on their sides, being careful to remain inside of her. They wrapped their arms around each other and cuddled. Brad's wolf was satisfied for the moment because they had made love to their mate. Even though his wolf hadn't had a go at her, he was still happy. He knew that his turn would come. Finally they separated and headed for the shower. They got into the walk-in shower and washed each other slowly, soaping and running their hands over each other. Brad had a hard time not taking her again in the shower. He had to keep reminding himself that this was her first time and she was probably sore. Looking at his penis, he thought, "You will just have to wait until later." After they finished showering, he was going to lay her on the bed and lick her allowing his saliva to use its healing properties to remove the soreness. Kay was having problems too. She just had sex for the first time and it was amazing, but she was finding it hard to not make a move on Brad. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore, so she slipped to her knees taking Brad's now hard cock into her mouth. She slowly started licking it up and down. Not knowing what she was doing as she had never done this before, she decided that she would use her instinct and listen to the sounds that Brad made to judge if she was doing this right. She took a bit more of him into her mouth wrapping her tongue around his cock as she did. Brad could not believe that Kay was doing. Losing control for a moment, he grabbed her hair and started pumping his cock into her mouth making Kay gag a bit which helped him regain control. "Just relax your throat baby and it will be easier," Brad said. Kay relaxed her throat muscles and was able to swallow Brad's cock. He slowly started slipping his cock more easily into her throat and started fucking her throat. While Brad twisted and pinched Kay's nipples, Kay could feel her juices building again. As she got more aroused, she started sucking Brad harder and faster sliding her mouth up and down his shaft with her tongue wrapping around it. All at once, Brad started cumming deep down her throat and Kay swallowed it all. She had no idea how semen would taste but discovered that she liked it. Brad was still hard after cumming, so he stood Kay up, pushed her against the tiles and quickly slid his cock in Kay's wet cunt. He wrapped his arms around her thighs and lifted her. He pumped in and out of Kay while chewing on her nipples. He knew that he was being rough, but watching Kay with his cock in her mouth was the most erotic thing that he had ever seen. He hoped that he was not hurting her. Brad thought, "I will be gentle the next time." Kay cried out and moaned loudly as she began to cum again on Brad's cock. She clamped down so hard on him that he could not hold back even after cumming in her mouth. He went over the edge again and pumped what felt like gallons of his hot cum into her pussy. Afterwards, they kissed and cleaned up again. They, then, dried off and dressed. Kay wore a red thong with black jeans and a red button down blouse. She decided not to wear shoes since she loved going around the house with no shoes on at home. Brad wore boxer shorts and black jeans and a black T-shirt. He put on socks and shoes. When they were finished dressing, they went downstairs to the kitchen in search of food. ------------------------- In the Kitchen. Kay was shocked when she entered the kitchen and saw Charleston there. Although his name was Charleston, she always called him Charlie like everyone else at The White Cat Hotel. "Hey Charlie, what are you doing here?" Kay asked. "I live and work here", Charlie said. Bradley came in wondering what was going on. "Oh my God Brad," Kay said, "I didn't know Charlie worked for you." "He has worked for me for a long time, but how do you know him," Bradley said. "He comes to The White Cat Hotel to pick my brain on some recipe or another that he wants to try, but I never knew where he lived or worked," Kay said. "Why are you here Kay?" Charlie asked. "I'm staying for a while because my cottage was broken into and Bradley offered to put me up." Kay said. "Oh my God, is everything ok?" Charlie said. "They ransacked the house, but I didn't notice anything missing." Kay answered. "Well, if you need help cleaning up and sorting it out, let me know," Charlie said. "It's ok, but thanks for the offer." Kay said. Charlie looked at Bradley and thought, "What's going on?" Bradley answered Charlie, "Kay is my mate, but I haven't said anything to her. As far as she is concerned, we are boyfriend and girlfriend until things feel right to tell her." "Does she know we are all wolves?" Charlie asked. "Well, that I don't know, but she is not stupid. She must know something," Bradley said. All the time they were talking using telepathy, Kay was watching them. Suddenly, she said, "So you can do it too can you?" "Do what?" Bradley said. "Talk in your mind like me and my brother Paul can," she said. "Yes, all of us that live here can," Bradley said. "So are you human or not?" she said. "No, we're not human," Bradley answered. "I knew you weren't human. I knew there was something different about you, but I couldn't put my finger on it. So are you pack, pride, nest or something else?" Kay said. "We are pack," Bradley said. "Actually, we are Wolves," Charlie said. "I'm the Alpha of The Black Wolf Pack and this is where the pack lives most of the time. We have another house in the city that we use from time to time. This mansion has nearly 70 bedrooms in it with the other building surrounding us, housing about another 150 altogether," Bradley said. "Gosh, that's a big pack," Kay said. "Do you mind me being a wolf?" Bradley said. "No, I think it's cool, and I love you just the same," Kay said. Bradley was glad she was taking it so well. His wolf was pleased she had accepted him, also. Bradley wondered if Kay knew SHE wasn't human. Just then Paul asked telepathically, "Kay, where are you and how are you doing?" "I'm in the kitchen," she thought back to him, "How are you feeling this morning?" "I'm not too bad really," Paul said, "Can you get someone to bring you over here soon?" "Yeah, I will get Bradley to bring me. Hang on," Kay thought. Bradley knew she was talking to her brother because she had the same look on her face as she did yesterday when they were talking. "Bradley, can you take me over to see Paul as soon as you can? He wants to see me," Kay asked. Bradley said, "Ok, we can go after we have had some breakfast". Breakfast consisted of cornflakes, toast and a cup of coffee white with one sugar for Kay and a full English breakfast of 4 sausages, 3 rashers of bacon, 2 eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans and black pudding and 4 pork chops and 4 slices of toast, marmalade, and a cup of coffee white with 3 sugars for Bradley. Kay was amazed at the amount of food he ate because he was so wiry. Bradley noticed the look on her face and laughed. "Being a wolf is great. You can eat anything you want because it never puts a scrap of weight on," Bradley said. ------------------------ The Medical Centre. Paul was sitting up in bed waiting for his sister. He knew today was going to be hard for Kay, but what he had to say had to be said. The new moon was due to rise in 3 days time, and she must be prepared for then. Mason entered the room and was surprised to see Paul sitting up. By all rights, he should be still out of it. He checked Paul's back and was shocked. All the lacerations and whipping marks were all gone. There were just a few red marks still there. Mason went out and got Nathan. He wanted him to look magically at Paul's broken bones. Even Nathan was shocked that the bones were knitting back together so soon. "Give it about 2 more days and you wouldn't know that he had suffered as badly as he did," Nathan thought. "Paul how have you healed so quickly?" Nathan said. "We know you are not were, vampire or elf, so what are you?" Mason said. "It's complicated. I will tell everyone at the same time," Paul said. Just then Kay and Bradley walked in. Kay ran straight to Paul and wrapped her arms around him crying a little bit. Paul cradled her in his arms rubbing her back. "Are you alright now?" Kay said. "I will be. Give it a few more days and I will be fine again. How are you is more to the point?" Paul said, "I know you are feeling a lot of pain and your skin must be feeling some different sensations." "Yes I am, but, how did you know?" Kay said. "Kay, your birthday is tomorrow and there are a few things you need to know before then. Bradley, can I use your phone to contact our Uncle Henry?" Paul asked. "What, Paul? What do I need to know?" Kay demanded. "I will tell you when Uncle Henry gets here," Paul said. "But I want to know now," Kay complained. "No, not till Uncle Henry gets here," Paul stated. Kay wanted to know now. She was really getting scared, not knowing what was happening to her and more importantly what was she. She wasn't human that was for damn sure, so what the hell was she. Kay had no idea and just fell silent, letting them carry on talking around her. Nathan said, "I wouldn't walk just yet, if I were you Paul. You can use one of the wheelchairs for today. Anyway, there is no way you can walk with all that plaster on you. If you continue to heel at the rate that you have so far, I can most likely take off the plaster in 2 days." "Thank you," Paul said. Bradley pushed Paul in a wheelchair back to the main house, while Kay walked beside him. They went into the kitchen. Bradley showed Paul to the office, so he could use the phone, and Kay stayed in the kitchen to talk to Charlie. --------------------------- To be continued. I would like to thank my editor sexydream for all her help with editing my story and helping me with the gramma I have been struggling with. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 05 Hopefully the story will read a lot better now. I will get the earlier chapters re-written at some stage. Please send feed back so I know that I'm getting it right. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 06 Chapter 6. Explanations and secrets ---------------- Uncle Henry. ---------------- Uncle Henry arrived with another man called John. Paul and Bradley met them in the entrance of the mansion and Bradley led them to his office. Paul introduced Henry and John to Bradley. "Hello Uncle Henry, Uncle John. This is Bradley, Kay's mate. He is also the Alpha of The Black Wolf Pack," Paul said. "Do you have all the paperwork with you, Uncle Henry?" Paul asked. Henry said, "Yes lad, we have all the paper work with us." "What have you got to talk to Kay about?" asked Bradley. "Kay is in for a shock and there is no way of telling her, without her getting upset. You see Bradley, Kay is my daughter," John said. "But.... Kay thinks...... you're dead, and have been for the last two years," Bradley said. John took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I know she does. That's why it will be hard for her to except the truth. The people she thinks were her parents weren't. They were my older brother and his wife. I'm so glad she has you to take care of her Bradley. She is going to need all our help and understanding the next few days, as they are going to be very hard for her," John said. "We better have Nathan with us, as he is very concerned about Kay," Bradley said. "Who's Nathan?" asked Henry. "He's the pack healer or doctor for want of a better word," said Bradley. "You better ring Nigel and Linda as well Bradley," said Paul. "Why?" asked Bradley. "Well, she works for them. It's only fair that they should be told about Kay, as it may affect them as well," Paul said. "Very well I will ring them now," Bradley said and rang Nigel and Linda. He told them what was happening and asked them, "Can you be here by 12 noon?" Linda said, "We will be there as soon as we can because we have been worried about Kay for a while now." Bradley decided to house the meeting in the large library as there seemed to be a lot of people attending it and the office just wasn't big enough. For security reasons, he asked Jason and Sarah to be there as well. Bradley went to locate Kay. He found her in the kitchen with Charlie cooking a load of chocolate fudge cakes. The kitchen smelt great. There were a lot of others in the kitchen. They had also smelt the yummy smell and wanted to try Kay's cake as they had heard so much about her from Charlie. "Hi Brad!" said Kay. "Hi honey," said Brad, "You have been busy, I see." "Yep, Charlie and I have made 12 large chocolate fudge cakes for tea," Kay replied. "Yummy, yummy fill my tummy," said Brad. He then started laughing and asked, "Can I have some now?" "No, they are for tea. You will have to wait till then with everyone else," Kay said. They had about 30 minutes before the meeting, so Kay helped herself to some juice and went outside. Bradley got a beer from the fridge and joined her. Just outside the door, off the kitchen, was a wooden seat under the tree. They sat there for a quick cuddle before the meeting. "Brad, I'm scared. I'm not sure what I'm going to find out in this meeting," Kay said while resting her head on his shoulder. "It doesn't matter what is said in the meeting remember this," Brad said, "I'll always love you and be here for you." ----------------------- At the Meeting: ----------------------- In the large library were Kay, Bradley, Paul, Mason, Nathan, Nigel, Linda, Uncle Henry, John, Jason and Sarah. Bradley stood up and told everyone, "What you are about to hear stays in this room for now." Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Uncle Henry stood up. He was about to introduce John when Kay jumped up. "I remember you from when I was little. You used to come and read to Paul and me about King Arthur, his round table and the knights in shining armor. You're Uncle John," Kay exclaimed. Uncle Henry walked to Kay and held her hands. He paused for a minute then hugged her close. "You are correct Kay. This is John, but he is not your uncle. He is your father," Uncle Henry said. Bradley looked at Kay as she had gone very quiet. She was as white as a sheet, so he moved quickly to her side. He just barely caught her preventing her from hitting the floor as she fainted. When Kay came around, she was lying on the sofa in front of the open fireplace with Bradley holding her close. "Uncle Henry," she said, "What are you talking about? There is no way he's my father. My parents are dead." "No Kay, your father is alive and standing right here in front of you. John is definitely your father and I have all the documents to prove it," said Henry. Kay couldn't take it in. "What was happening to her lately?" she thought. Then, something weird happened she seemed to fade away, becoming almost invisible. She then collapsed. John jumped up and went to Kay. "Bradley, how long has this been happening to Kay?" John said. "As far as I know, it has been happening for a few weeks now," said Bradley. "Try a few months," said Linda. "Each time it happens she always collapses." John opened Kay's shirt, placed his hand over her heart and started chanting some very strange words. Kay opened her eyes and asked, "What did you just do to me?" "I just unbound the rest of your powers," John answered. "I bound them when you were little to keep you safe." "Powers? What Powers?" Kay asked. "Kay, you are a very special person. You have great powers, but you need to learn how to use them now!" John exclaimed. "John, what are you?" said Nathan. "Well, it's complicated. First, Paul, Henry and I are ancients, and we all are wizards of the highest order," said John. "We heal faster than anyone, if we are left in the dark for a little while. We can shift forms, like you can, but unlike you we are not wolves we are tigers. My great, great, great, great, great, great, grandfather was Merlin. "But, Kay is very special, because she is a pure white tiger. She inherited this gene from her real mother, my wife Constance. Constance was the queen of a small pride of tigers when I met her a very long time ago. She died protecting her pride from a man called Lazlo. Lazlo disappeared some time ago. Many thought he was dead, but he seems to have resurfaced and is causing problems." John said. Kay lay on the sofa trying to take it all in. "So, my parents that I grew up with, were not my real parents," she thought. "Perhaps that explains the abusive childhood I had... Why they always seemed to be arguing... So, why did he leave me with them? Why leave it until now to tell me?" Kay was getting angry and very upset, now. Bradley could feel the stress coming from her and knew she was getting angry. He kept watching her as she clenched and unclenched her hands. Bradley thought, "This is not a good sign." No one knew how it happened, but suddenly Kay was off the sofa. She threw her hand up, picked up John and threw him against the wall hard. Everyone just stared at her. Once she realized what she had done, Kay ran out of the library. She ran along the corridor and into the kitchen. After she arrived in the kitchen, she stopped, looked at Charlie, and then barrelled out the back door. She had no idea where she was going, but that did not stop her from running. She just knew she had to get away and fast, so she just ran and ran. Bradley stood up to check on John who seemed none the worst for the fall. "Bradley, we have to find her. There is no telling what she will do," Paul said. "Jason, Mason, Sarah, Nathan, Linda, and Nigel come with me," Bradley said. "We're coming too," said Henry. "She is very angry with you at the moment. I don't think that's a good idea," Bradley said. "Nevertheless, we are coming with you. We know what her powers are and you don't," said John. Bradley thought about it for a while, and then projected, "Nathan, what do you think? Should we let them help us search for Kay?" Nathan projected back, "It might be best to let them help. He's right; we don't know what her powers are yet. We may need them to help contain her." "Ok, you can all come, but I won't have her any more upset than she already is. Do you understand me? Kay is my mate. Her safety and happiness are my top priority," Bradley said. Everyone went into the community room and stripped. They, then, changed into their wolf or cat form. So five wolves, two Bengal tigers and three black & white tigers began searching for Kay. Kay ran much faster than she usually did and wasn't out of breath or feeling tired. "Well, this is new," she thought. Suddenly, she came upon a waterfall and decided to sit on a large stone beside it with her feet dangling in the cool water. She knew they would come find her, but she wasn't scared of that. What scared her, were these powers of hers. "Did I hurt my father when I threw him? How on earth did I do that in the first place? Well," she thought, "that explains a few things that have been happening to me lately." Bradley scented the air, so he knew he was going in the right direction. He thought to Jason and the other wolves "Looks like she is heading for the waterfall and the stream not far ahead." He stopped and looked for the tigers. They were behind him, but they had stopped too. It looked as though they were talking amongst themselves. Paul asked John and Henry, "What are we going to do once we find her?" Nigel and Linda said, "There are a few questions that need to be answered. We can understand why Kay was so upset." Bradley continued following Kay's scent and soon found her by the waterfall lying on the rock with her feet dangling in the water. He stopped because he was nervous. Kay had never seen his wolf and he wasn't sure what she would do when she saw him now. Kay took a deep breath and just knew that Brad was near. She turned around and was face-to-face with a large black wolf. "Oh my," she thought, "he is so big. Oh boy, he is handsome even in this form!" She didn't know how, but she knew this wolf was Bradley. She moved nearer and put her arms around him finding comfort from him as she always did. Bradley's wolf loved it; at least his mate wasn't scared of him. He licked her neck a bit and gave her a low rumble of affection. Kay loved the feel of his fur. It was much softer than she thought it would be. The more she stroked him the better she felt. The black wolf was soon joined by four other wolves and five tigers. "Oh my," she thought, "they must be the others." She wasn't scared. She knew her family and friends wouldn't hurt her. Bradley shifted to human form and placed Kay on his lap where he kissed and cuddled her. He could see she had been crying, but she seemed a little calmer now. He stroked her back and she leaned into him, feeling safe again. "Is my dad with you?" she asked. "Yep, he is right over there, baby. He is one of those black and white tigers," he said. "Oh my God, is that my brother and Uncle Henry with him?" she asked. "Yeah baby, they are. The two orange ones are Nigel and Linda." Just then a large silver wolf with a black nose came up and changed into Nathan right in front of her. She wasn't even shocked to see him naked. She thought it was a bit strange, but she would get used to it in time. Nathan checked Kay to make sure she was alright and had done no damage to herself while she was running at full speed. "Kay, how do you feel, now?" asked Nathan. "I guess I am okay, but I have a few things I need to say to my father though." "Come on Kay, it's time to head back to the den. You can talk to him when we get home," Bradley said. Kay got up and kissed Brad long and hard, and then she started running back to the den. Bradley and Nathan shifted back to wolf form and everyone followed her back to the den. ----------------------------- I hope you are enjoying this story. Hopefully it is now flowing better, but please let me know. I like to thank my editor for all her help with chapter. I've finished the next chapter and sent it to my editor. Should be back soon. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 07 Chapter 7: Explanations and Surprises Back at the Den When she arrived at the den, Kay was feeling a bit calmer. She had so many questions for her father and Uncle Henry. It was really hard to believe that her father was alive. He seemed to be so loving and caring, but she could not understand his decisions concerning her care. She wanted to know why he had left her with Norman and Helen. Didn't he know how they would treat her? Kay wondered while growing up, why Helen never really showed her much affection. She thought mothers were the ones who gave you all the affection at least that is the way that it was in the books that she read, but not Helen. It seemed like the older they got the more she despised them. Norman was mean also, but it would have been bearable if Helen showed them some love. She thought about the powers that she had. Norman must have been a tiger too because he had some of the strange powers that she had. It was going to be interesting to see what else she could do. Charlie came in the library. "Do you want a coffee Kay?" he asked. "Yes, please Charlie," replied Kay. Bradley came in with everyone else, so Charlie asked, "Would anyone else like a drink since I'm just about to get one for Kay." They did so he went to get drinks for everyone. Bradley sat on the sofa beside Kay and she leant on him. He put his arm around her to comfort her and let her know that he was there for her. Everyone else sat around by the big table with the wolf carving on it. It was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. They all knew that Kay had so many questions, and they were just waiting until she was ready to begin asking them. Kay stared into the fire not, really thinking about anything in particular. After a few moments, Charlie returned with a large tray of tea and coffee that he placed on the conference table. He served Kay and Bradley their coffee and as he left the room told everyone else, "Help yourselves." Once everyone finished their drinks, Kay couldn't take the silence, so she confronted her Father saying, "Why did you leave me with Norman & Helen?" "They were Paul's parents, and Norman was my older brother," said John. "I don't think they really wanted me. They never showed much love to me. Actually, I don't think they wanted Paul either because they treated him as badly as they treated me," Kay said. "It was the best solution that I could come up with at the time. I had to hide you, and I wanted a family member to take care of you," John said. Paul said, "It was fine when we were small as they treated us ok. When we got older though, they didn't want the responsibility anymore. We spent much of our childhood making up games to entertain ourselves. By accident, we discovered that we could communicate with each other using telepathy." John asked, "When did that start? How old were you?" "Well, Kay was 3 and I was 5 when we discovered we could communicate with each other. Kay had been crying a lot that day when she just turned 3. It was driving mom mental, so she put her in the cupboard under the stairs in the dark to teach her a lesson. Kay was sobbing. I thought, this is so sad, and Kay heard me. "She thought back, is that you Paul? "I was surprised but replied, yes, it is me. "The entire time that Kay was in the cupboard, we talked to each other that way. It kept Kay calm. "Mom noticed that Kay had stopped crying and let her out thinking that she had learned her lesson. Mom and Dad never knew we could talk to each other like that. It used to be our secret." "I bound your powers when you were 2, so you could lead a normal childhood without coming to harm. I never knew Norman and Helen didn't really want you. I'm sorry Kay," said John. "You should know I only left you because I was afraid that Lazlo would find you and take you. You are a very powerful woman even though you may not feel it just yet." "Who is Lazlo?" Kay asked. "I will tell you later. For now, let me try and explain some other things to you. Ok?" John said. "I know a few things, Father. Things that have been happening to me and they are making me very scared. Can tell you?" Kay stated. "Like what?" John asked. "I heal a lot faster than normal, especially in the dark, just as Paul can. I can run about 25 miles an hour, when I try. I can teleport from one place to another. I found that out one morning when I was almost late for work. I just thought about being late for work and I started getting upset. The more I thought about being late, the more upset I got and the next thing I knew I was at work. I can, also, move objects with my mind. "These things are pretty cool, but it's these other things that are happening that are scaring me. I can completely vanish or fade in and out without having any control over when it happens. The last few weeks my skin is on fire most of the time and it's the scariest thing I have had to cope with. "So, are you going to tell me exactly what is happening to me and why I have this feeling of burning up most of the time?" Kay asked. John stood up and slowly made his way towards Kay. He was standing right in front of her. She was all grown up. He had missed her so much. He loved her with all his heart and didn't want her to feel this hurt anymore. They looked at each other, just staring for a bit. Kay was standing front of her father, and she felt this immense feeling of belonging, something she never felt while growing up. If it hadn't been for Paul she would have ran away from home when she was little. Many times she had come near doing just that, but Paul would know when she was upset, come find her and make it better. All of a sudden she put her head on her father's chest. He pulled her into his arms holding her close to his heart. Now, tears streamed down Kay's face. She held her dad, and he in turn held her while she cried. He rubbed her back and said, "I'm so sorry, baby. I love you so much and I promise that I will never disappear on you again. I really thought that I was doing what was best for you. I thought that with my brother, you would have a family and a normal childhood. It never occurred to me that you would be mistreated. She could feel herself beginning to shake, and then it happened again. Her skin just started burning, and she couldn't seem to stop it. John released Kay because she really was burning up. He looked at her and discovered that her skin was bright red. John asked, "Henry come feel Kay's skin. Is this normal? I have never seen this before." Henry put his hand on Kay's arm. He soon moved it, and found he had a burn on his hand. Kay was getting really frightened. Bradley could feel the tension coming from her and building in the room. No one knew what to do. Kay thought, Oh, the pain. This is getting to be unbearable. I can't take much more. Suddenly she turned toward Brad and disappeared right in front of everyone. While Kay's skin was hurting, she knew that she needed to cool down in a hurry. This was the hottest she had ever been before. Suddenly she thought about the stream and the waterfall where she was earlier. She remembered how cool the water was and all of a sudden she was there. Standing under the waterfall with the water cascading on to her, she began to cool off a little. She stripped down to her underwear and just stood there. It finally occurred to her that this was the furthest she had ever teleported herself. She also knew that Bradley and everyone would be frantic with worry, but she had to cool down and this was the first place of which she thought. It was her birthday tomorrow, and she was ssssooooo scared. She kept wondering about what her father said about how powerful she was. She didn't feel powerful now. She only felt scared and at this moment very much alone. -------------------------- Meanwhile back at the mansion, everyone was wondering what had happened. One minute Kay was there and the next she was gone. Bradley was frantic. He wasn't thinking straight and thought John had done something to Kay. So, he punched him in the face and shouted, "What have you done to Kay?" John did nothing. He didn't want to fight Bradley. He knew that it was just reaction because he was worried about Kay. He was worried about Kay too. He told Bradley, "Calm down, son. I didn't do anything to Kay. We will find her." Bradley was upset, angry and shouting at the top of his lungs, "WE'VE GOT TO FIND HER NOW." John asked, "Paul try to communicate with Kay and find out where she's gone." Paul closed his eyes and searched for Kay. He could sense that she was not far away, but wasn't sure where she was. Kay where are you? Paul asked her. Oh, Paul, Kay thought while crying, I was burning up and I needed to get cool. So where are you? Paul repeated. "At the waterfall where I was earlier," replied Kay. Why did you just leave without saying a word? Everyone is worried about you, Paul exclaimed. Bradley was frantic. I'm sorry Paul, but my skin was burning. It began to hurt really badly, so I teleported myself into the waterfall. It feels a little better, but it is still hurting a lot. This time it won't stop. I'm so scared Paul. You have to help me; Kay said and then started crying harder. Paul opened his eyes and everyone was watching him because they all heard John ask him to try to contact Kay. Paul said, "She said that her skin is burning so much that it was hurting her badly. She was scared, so she teleported herself to the waterfall where she was earlier. She is now standing under the waterfall trying to cool off." Nathan said, "Have her stay there. I have an idea." He gathered a few people to help him, and then took them to the medical centre so they could get a load of sheets. They dumped the sheets in a large bath and filled it with cold water. Once he was finished with his preparation, Nathan phoned Bradley, "Bradley, come over here, and I'll tell you what I have come up with." Bradley went to the medical centre and Nathan showed him what he had done. "If we get Paul to ask Kay to teleport over here, we can wrap her in these cold sheets to help cool her down. When her body warms up the sheet, we'll drench them in cold water. Since she will be at the medical center, we can also keep an eye on her," explained Nathan. "But will it work, and what happens later?" asked Bradley. "Well, hopefully, by then John will have some answers as to how we can control this burning," Nathan replied. Suddenly, Paul raced into the medical centre. Just as he entered the room, all the sirens began blasting. "What's that?" Paul asked. "We have intruders," Bradley said. "The sirens you are hearing mean someone is on our land without permission." Paul's voice rose in excitement as he said, "That's what I came to tell you. Kay said there are about 6 men and one woman standing about 200 yards from where she is and she wants to know what to do." Bradley shouted, "TELL HER TO GET BACK HERE NOW!!!" as he raced off. By the time he got to the community room, his team was assembled and went charging off in full wolf form because it was faster. ----------------------------------------------- Back at the waterfall Kay couldn't seem to move. It was as though she was frozen under the waterfall. She could make out 6 men and 1 women approaching from west of the forest. They were all massive. Two of the men were at least 6' 7" tall and very big. Kay asked, Paul, did Brad send these people? No, get out of there! Paul yelled. I can't move. It's like I'm frozen in place. The woman is funny looking, almost as if she's a ghost. You can see right through her. OH GOD, PAUL HELP ME!! She shouted. As the woman got nearer, it seemed as though she were floating on the water. Then the woman said, "Don't be afraid. My name is Constance and I'm your mother." "But you....are.... dead," Kay said. "Not exactly, I can never die. I'm immortal," Constance said. Feeling much calmer, Kay said, "Dad's at the mansion." Just then, John appeared next to Kay and wrapped his arms around her. As soon as Bradley raced off, Paul teleported to Uncle John and Uncle Henry to tell them that Kay was in trouble. The minute the words were out of his mouth, Uncle John was gone. John turned ready to defend his daughter with his life, and his mouth fell open from the shock. "OH MY, GOD," he said, "Connie, you're alive." "Well, I'm here. I couldn't miss my daughter's 21st birthday tomorrow," Connie exclaimed. "But how are you here? You were killed a long time ago," John questioned. "No, I just had to disappear for a while. The men with me are my body guards. They go everywhere I do," Connie stated. Kay couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had her mom and dad with her now, although her mom looked really strange to her at the moment. She was really happy. Having a mother who you can see through may take some getting used to, but it is great to have LOVING parents. Kay thought with a smile Suddenly, Bradley and his warriors surrounded them in full wolf form. Bradley growled and charged forward determined to protect his mate. Connie, not knowing the wolves were friendly, threw out her hand creating a dome to cover herself, her bodyguards, John, Kay and the waterfall. The wolves were left outside the dome. Seeing that Connie was intent on protecting them from the wolves, John explained to her that the wolves were there to protect Kay. "Kay is the mate of the Alpha of the Black Wolf Pack, Bradley. He and his warriors thought that she was in danger and they are here to defend her," John said. Connie dropped the shield. Until this time, the cool water of the waterfall kept the burning and pain of Kay's skin to a bearable level. But Kay began to notice that her skin was getting hotter and hotter. She drew everyone's attention by screaming, "MY SKIN MY SKIN, IT HURTS, MAKE IT STOP PLEASE." Then she collapsed. John gathered Kay in his arms getting himself soaking wet, but he didn't care. If his holding her could help Kay, he was willing to do it for as long as he could. He couldn't hold her for long because the intense heat that she was producing burned his arms and hands. She was extremely too hot. It was like trying to hold an armful of hot coals. Connie used her powers to encase Kay in a dome which would allow her to be handled without causing extreme burns and pain to the handler, and then they removed Kay from the waterfall, placed her on the ground. Once she was on the ground, her mother removed the dome. Connie seemed more solid now than when she first appeared. She kneeled beside Kay and placed her hand on her head. Connie then said, "This is not right. Yes, she should feel warm, but Kay is roasting." "We have to teleport Kay to the medical centre," Bradley said. "Nathan has an idea for cooling her off." "What?" asked Connie "He's going to wrap her in cold sheets while we try to figure out how to stop this. As the sheets warm up, they will be drenched in cold water," explained Bradley. Connie made a sweep with her hand and a bright light appeared transporting everyone back to the compound, immediately. "My God, how did you do that?" Jason questioned. "It's a bit complicated to explain, but basically I bound everyone together and transported us all here," she said. "How did you know where the medical centre is located?" said Bradley. "I simply instructed my powers to take me to the location you were speaking of when you were telling me about Nathan's plan," Connie answered. While she was answering their questions, Connie encased Kay in a dome again, so John to could take Kay inside the medical centre. Jane and Kim, who were Kay's nurses, were waiting for them. Kay's skin was blood red now and would burn anyone who touched her. John laid Kay on the prepared bed, which was already covered with cold sheets. Connie removed the doom, so Jane and Kim could begin wrapping the cold sheets around her. Initially, there was a lot of steam coming from the cold sheets. Kay was still unconscious which was good as she must be hurting her awfully badly. Once the sheets started to warm, Kay and the sheets were soaked with cold water. John, Connie and Bradley needed to talk, so they went outside. "Why is this happening to Kay?" Bradley asked. "Well, she is a white tiger, and she is going to have her first shift on the first full moon after her 21st birthday, which is tomorrow," Connie answered. "Is it normal for her to be this hot as her body prepares for her first shift?" asked John. "No, she should be warm, but not this hot," stated Constance. "What is she exactly? I know were tigers and their first shift happens when they are very young," asked Bradley "She is a White Tiger and when I say white I mean all White, with none of the usual stripes. There are only a few around. I'm one also," said Connie. She continued, "I was queen of the last pride of white tigers, but now there is not many of us left. We can harness power from fire and when we shift, we can use the fire power. Kay will have to be taught how to harness her power. She is very powerful because she has inherited some of her dad's power as well. John is ancient and a Wizard as well being an elemental, which makes things complicated. We have a few enemies that want to get to Kay because of her power." John said, "A guy named Lazlo wants to control Kay's power to take over the Wizard council. Lazlo feels that he can hold the world ransom after he gets control of the wizard council. If he gets her, it will mean a war will break out between the non-humans and the humans, which neither the Wizard council nor any of the other ruling councils want to happen. This is why I bound Kay's powers when she was little." "What I don't understand at the moment is why she is burning up. I know it was never like this the first time I shifted," pondered Connie. "It's her birthday tomorrow, and she will be 21 years old which means she will get full use of her powers. When the new moon appears, two days after her birthday, then she will be able to shift. Once she shifts, we will have to teach her how to control her powers. She will not be able to throw her hands up without doing some serious damage. It will be hard for her, but she will get used to it." Bradley said, "A few days ago Paul was kidnapped and tortured by a man called Johnson, who we are still interrogating. So far, he is still holding out and we have been unable to get any information from him." After a minute or so of thinking John exclaimed, "Oh God! Johnson is Lazlo's right-hand man. I can help interrogate him if you like. I can do a mind sweep on him and there is no way he can hide information from me." "I think it would be a good idea for you to do a mind sweep on him. I will set it up for some time tomorrow," Bradley said, "but let's sort Kay out first, ok." "We are going to need more guards to protect her from Lazlo," John said. "Don't worry," said Bradley, "I can call in a few favours from neighboring packs and prides. She will be guarded 24 hours a day." John and Connie went back inside the medical centre to sit with Kay. Bradley went to the library where everyone else was and explained, "The rest of this meeting is postponed because Kay is not well. She is in the medical centre being treated by Nathan. Jason follow me. I need your help with something." Bradley and Jason went to his office. Bradley said, "We need to call all of the neighboring packs and prides and ask them for help protecting my mate, Kay." Jason nodded and said, "Do you want me to take the ones south and west of us?" Bradley said, "Yes and I will take the ones north and east of us." They each began contacting the packs and prides in their areas to request assistance in protecting Kay. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 07 Henry knocked on the door while Bradley was speaking with Albert Montgomery, Alpha of the Crest wolf pack. "Albert, this is Bradley. I need to know if you can spare some of your best warriors to help guard my mate, Kay. She is one of a very few pure, white tigers and a man named Lazlo is trying to capture her to have control of her power." "You have found your mate? When did this happen? Of course, I will send you some of my warriors to guard her. Is she pretty? Does she have a sister?" Albert said with a smile. "Wait, did you say pure, white tiger? I did not even know that they still exist. They are really powerful, no wonder this guy is after her. I will send five warriors right over." "Yes, I have found my mate. It was about a week ago that we met. Thank you for the loan of the warriors. Yes, she is pretty. No, she does not have a sister. And Yes, I said pure white tiger," Bradley answered while ticking off the answers on his fingers. While Bradley continued making calls to the packs and pride north and east of his pack, Linda and Nigel decided to go upstairs to the guest room that Bradley had given them and Mason went to the medical centre to see whether he could help Nathan with Kay. Once he was finished making his calls, Bradley left Jason in the office with Henry and went back to the medical centre to check on Kay. He found Paul, John and Connie having a heated discussion just outside the compound. They stopped when they saw him. Bradley thought, I wonder what that's all about. He was worried about Kay, so he walked past them to her. After he reached Kay's bed, he felt her skin and thought; well at least the cold sheets were working a bit. She does not feel as hot as she did earlier. I wonder what John, Connie and Paul were arguing about. He just could not seem to stop wondering what the argument was about. Suddenly, Kay sat up and screamed. Bradley jumped and everyone else came running to her bedside. Kay was sobbing and shaking all over. Bradley held her and tried to comfort her, which was hard to do because his wolf was getting angry as no one seemed to know what was happening to his mate. John placed his hand on Kay's head and said a spell in a language that most of them had never heard. Bradley did not understand what John said, but it seemed to calm down Kay a bit although she was still whimpering. Kay screaming seemed to stop Bradley from wondering what Paul, Connie, and John were discussing so heatedly. His whole focus was on Kay. He had to keep her safe and figure out a way to stop the burning pain she was in. Connie went outside and called Andrew, the captain of her guard. "Andrew, have you ever seen a shift like what Kay is going through?" she asked. Andrew said, "Only once, some 200 years ago when someone was trying to tap the shifter's powers. I bet you its Lazlo trying to get Kay to feel her powers before her body is ready. Your majesty we are going to need Isobel's help. She is the only one that can help Kay, now." Isobel was the healer of their pride. "I know," said Connie with a sigh, "I will go and get her, but she isn't going to be happy about this. You know as well as I do, how she hates traveling by portal." Immediately, Connie teleported to Isobel's house. ----------------------------------- At Isobel's house Isobel lived in a cottage in Cornwall. She was a bit of an eccentric old lady who looked about 55 years old although she was over 400. Isobel was planting runner beans in her garden. She liked growing her own vegetables and herbs. Her garden contained quite a variety of items. She grew all kinds of cabbage, carrots, peas, runner beans, broad beans, cauliflower, broccoli, sweet corn, and squash. She also had lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, and cucumbers growing in one of the three greenhouses that were in her garden. She had all kinds of fruit trees and bushes. She even had a small rice field. All in the entire garden was designed to help her live on her own without outside interference. Her cottage was old fashioned with the original thatched roof. Inside were an open fireplace and a cottage style three piece living room set with rose covers on them. She didn't have a TV, or the usual video equipment or anything like that, as she thought they were contraptions to make you idle and lazy. Anyway, she had to admit she was never able to get the hang of those things. The only modern things she had was a washer and dryer, a radio and a phone. That was it. She only used the phone in emergencies, as it was another contraption on which she was not keen. She was just finishing planting her runner beans when there was a bright light and Connie appeared. Oh no, thought Isobel, this cannot be good if Connie has come all the way over here to see me, without getting in touch first. It must be urgent. Isobel dusted her hands on her apron and walked over to Connie. "Hi, what brings you all the way over here to see me?" she asked. "I'm sorry for disturbing you, Isobel, but we have a crisis in Surrey with my daughter Kay," Connie said. "I didn't know you were still in contact with her," Isobel said. "I thought you told me it was best if they thought you died in that fire all those years ago." "I know, but times change. I started missing her and wondering what was happening to her. I just had to see her before her 21st birthday. As it happens, she is living with a pack of wolves. The Alpha, Bradley Wolfe, is her mate. He is a very handsome chap, too," Connie said with a grin. "That's nice, but what does it have to do with me?" Isobel asked. "Kay was starting to get some of her powers back, so John removed the spell that he cast to bind them. As you know, she will have her first shift on the first new moon after her 21st birthday," Connie said. "Yes, I remember your first shift very well," said Isobel with a smile. "Kay is experiencing some very odd side effects at the moment. As we speak, she is burning up almost like her skin is going to catch fire. The only way we are keeping her cool is we have her wrapped in some cold sheets. We are keeping them cold by pouring cold water on them from time to time, but this is not a good solution," said Connie. "Do you know when the burning started?" Isobel asked as she started walking to the first greenhouse to get some herbs from a hook. She went to her back door and Connie and she walked in. "Well, according to Bradley, it has been going on for a while now and Kay is getting really scared," said Connie. Isobel rushed through the living room into her bedroom to change into jeans and a shirt, picked up her jacket, packed a small suitcase, and went into the kitchen to retrieve her spell book. Isobel was a witch as well as being the healer of Connie's white tiger pride. "Ok," Isobel said, "I'm ready." Connie made a portal appear to transport them back to Wolfe Mansion. ----------------------------------------- To be continued. ----------------------------------------- I would like to thank you all for the kind reviews and I have taken on board some of your comments. I will now be putting thoughts in Italic writing and hopefully this will make it better for you to read. I am trying to make my chapters longer as well. I would like to thank my editor(sexydream) for all her help writing this story. Chapter 8 should be following soon. Just have to do the finishing touches to it. So bare with me. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 08 Chapter 8:Concerns and Cures At the compound things were getting very bad. The cold sheet treatment wasn't working any longer. Bradley was trying to calm Kay down, but this was almost impossible to do because she was in so much pain. Because it seemed to work better than any other method, she was now constantly standing under a cold shower. Her skin was so hot that the cold water from the shower hissed and steam billowed as it hit her skin. John, Henry and Paul were discussing ways to help Kay when John said, "I wonder what's taking Connie so long getting Isobel? I hope that she's okay." Suddenly, Henry said with a sigh, "I think we need the twins." "The twins are you mad," shouted Paul. "You know, they are constantly fighting each another! Just last week, Jessica blew up Charlotte's shed because of a stupid row over the herbs she wanted to buy from China! They're not stable!" "I know," said Henry, squeezing the bridge of his nose, "It was John and I who had to sort them out before they caused more damage. But, .....the twins are the best there is when it comes to protecting a place. We're going to need Kay in a protected environment to keep her from the likes of Lazlo and his buddies, especially while we teach her to use her powers." "You know, Henry, Connie and I already had an argument over this. I wanted to get the twins and Connie wanted to get Isobel. Because I know how stressful it is to deal with the twins, I agreed with Connie, but we may need them all to stop the burning and protect Kay," Paul said with a sigh. "I really don't care who you get to help Kay at this point, as long as you get someone here before it's too late." "I agree we need to get Kay some help before it's too late," said Henry. "That's why I feel we should call the twins. Isobel can use her herbs and magic to stop Kay's burning and the twins can use their herbs and magic to protect Kay." They agreed to get the twins involved in protecting Kay, so John went to Bradley's office to use the phone to contact them. He decided to call Jessica and let her call Charlotte. The phone rang for a while before Jessica answered and shouted, "WHAT DO YOU WANT!" "Hi Jessica. No need to shout," said John. "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was my sister complaining again. What can I do for you John?" she said in a much calmer voice. "Do remember that my daughter's 21st birthday is tomorrow?" said John. "Yes, I do," answered Jessica. "Well, we think that Lazlo is trying to force her powers to manifest before she is ready for them," John replied. "Why? What's happening to her?" questioned Jessica. John said, "Jessica, Kay is burning up and I mean that literally. Her skin is so hot that you can't touch her without getting burned. We are very concern for safety." "Ok, so what do want us to do?" she asked. "We want you and Charlotte to put some wards on Bradley's place, so no one can get in without us knowing, with or without magic." "Who's Bradley?" Jessica inquired. "Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to mention that part. Kay has found her mate. He is the Alpha of the Black Wolf pack. Kay is living with him in Surrey." "Oh, I see," said Jessica, "well, hasn't Bradley got his compound secured?" "Yes, against most threats, but you and I know that Lazlo is not most threats. He'll stop at nothing to get access to Kay's powers. He has already had Paul tortured a few days ago trying to find out where she was." John knew that she understood what he meant. Jessica was around when he lost Connie as she tried to protect her pride from Lazlo. Well.... at least I thought, that I lost Connie. It's really hard to believe that Connie's alive and that I have my family back together again. I'll do anything to keep them safe this time, even if it means giving up my life or putting up with the twins. I think giving up my life would be easier to deal with, John thought with a weary sigh. "Ok, I'll help and I'll phone Charlotte to get her to help. We'll come to Surrey by portal, since it is quickest way, and should arrive within an hour. That will allow us the time we'll need to gather a few things to bring with us. Ok?" replied Jessica. "Ok, and thank you, Jessica," John replied. "Bye for now John and please try not to worry too much. We'll be there shortly," Jessica stated. "Bye Jessica and thanks," John said and hung up. --------------------- Jessica and Charlotte --------------------- Jessica and Charlotte were as different as chalk and cheese. Jessica had dark brown hair, brown eyes and wore jeans and T- shirts all the time. She was a shaman as well as being a Water and Air Elemental. Charlotte was blonde with blue eyes, but she only wore dresses, nearly always pink. Charlotte was a level ten witch making her very powerful. The way that Charlotte dressed made Jessica sick, sometimes. Jessica just did not understand why Charlotte was so girly. By the same token, Charlotte did not understand Jessica's need for a more masculine attire. Both sisters were 5' 8" tall, very thin and had size 38DD boobs. They knew their beauty knocked the socks off everyone who saw them, but that knowledge did not didn't go to their heads like it did humans. Jessica phoned her sister after she finished talking to John. As the phone rang, she thought, I hope Charlotte is talking to me after what I did to her shed last week. I need to practice controlling my powers and my emotions. Charlotte let the phone ring for a while. She knew it was her sister, but she wanted to make her wait. She thought, Serves her right for ruining my shed. The constant ringing of the phone was driving her mad, so finally she picked it up and shouted, "THIS HAD BETTER BE GOOD!" "Stop right there," said Jessica. She could tell by Charlotte's tone of voice that she was still upset. "I wouldn't be phoning you if it wasn't urgent. I still haven't forgiven you for the things you said to me," she pouted. "You haven't forgiven me! You blew up my shed! What was I supposed to do stand there and say nothing! I don't think so!" Charlotte exclaimed. "Look, forget all that for now. I've just had John on the phone," Jessica stated. "John as in, John from the magical council?" Charlotte replied in a much calmer voice. "Yes," said Jessica. "His daughter's birthday is tomorrow. She will then come into her full powers. He thinks someone is trying to force her powers to manifest early. Her skin is constantly burning and he's getting really worried. He thinks that it's Lazlo." "What's that got to do with you and I, that's more Isobel's field?" questioned Charlotte. "I know and more than likely they'll fetch her too, but he wants us to protect the mansion and grounds in Surrey where Kay lives," Jessica answered. "Ok, I'll get my stuff and meet you at your place in 10 minutes," Charlotte said after thinking for a few seconds then hung up the phone. Jessica gathered her runes, stones and a few other things she would need to do her part in protecting Kay. She packed a bag with a few pairs of jeans, some extra T-shirts, her leather cowboy boots that she loved, and her lucky cowboy hat. She loved wearing her lucky cowboy hat, which was given to her by a dear friend in America. As Jessica entered her living room, Charlotte appeared wearing a bright pink, knee-length dress with white sandals and ankle socks. Charlotte's clothes reminded Jessica of Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. "Why on earth are you wearing that?" Jessica questioned. "Oh shut up, I like it and that's all that matters," said Charlotte. "Do you even know where Kay is?" Charlotte asked sarcastically because Jessica's comment about her clothes hurt her feelings. "Yes. She's at Black Wolf Mansion in Surrey," answered Jessica. "Oh goody," said Charlotte, "let's get going. There are some fine men in that pack." "Don't you ever stop thinking about sex?" said Jessica. "Only when I have too," laughed Charlotte. "Ohhhh, let's get going and see what we can do to help," said Jessica eagerly. "If you can you keep your mind off men's trousers for a while." "I suppose I can, but it will be hard not to be distracted. Besides it's not the trouser that I am interested in as much as what is in the trouser," stated Charlotte with a grin. "Look," said Jessica after a deep breath, "let's place the wards up around the place first, and then you can have some fun. Ok?" "Ok!" exclaimed Charlotte bouncing up and down. Jessica made a portal that was big enough for both of them and the many things they needed to take with them, and they were off. --------------- At the Compound --------------- When Connie returned with Isobel, it looked like all hell had been let loose. The mansion was full of pack members worried about the screaming coming from the medical centre. Inside the medical centre was chaos. Kay was standing in a cold shower with steam pouring off as the water hit her skin. John, Bradley, Henry and Paul were all there with her, but nothing that they did seemed to help. Kay was panicking again because she was in excruciating pain. The burning made her skin bright red, and in some places, blisters were forming. She screamed constantly, and she just knew that she was going to die because the pain was so bad. John was convinced that someone was trying to awaken Kay's powers before her birthday, so they could find her by her magical aura. They had to keep her powers from being released until tomorrow. Once Kay had full access to her powers, they would continue protecting her until she was trained to use the powers she would inherit from both Connie and he. John thought, Kay is one of the most powerful beings this world has ever seen and she has no idea. The Oracle that visited me before I left Kay with Norman and Helen said "She will be more powerful than Merlin and she will do great things for the human and non-human races". After the Oracle left, I realized that I had to bind Kay's powers and hide her. I knew that Lazlo tried before to get one of the white tigers in Connie's pride because he wanted to use their power for evil. If he had any idea how powerful Kay was, he would stop at nothing to control her. If Lazlo had control of Kay, he could easily hold the world for ransom. But, once Kay learns to use her powers, Lazlo better not cross her path. If he does, he's a dead man. Mason and Nathan tried all sorts of things to lower Kay's body temperature, but nothing worked. They tried ice packs, but as soon as you put them on her skin the ice melted and the ice pack exploded. Jane suggested putting Kay in a bath of ice blocks, but Kay had been in the bath for only ten minutes when the water started boiling. Standing in a cold shower seemed to work best for her, although she was still in pain and constantly screaming. When Connie and Isobel entered the medical centre, Isobel took one look at Kay and said "Get this place warded up fast. Someone is definitely trying to force her powers to manifest early." John pleaded, "Can you help her?" "Yes, I have everything with me I will need to stop the pain," Isobel assured him. "I would prefer you all leave me to it, please. Connie, would you mind helping me for a while?" "Of course," Connie said. As she started arranging the things Isobel needed to help Kay, Connie noticed that no one was leaving the room. She thought, Oh boy, they're going to be difficult. Connie addressed everyone in the room except Isobel, "I know that you are all worried about Kay, but you need to leave so that Isobel can have the space to move around and help Kay. The quicker you leave, the faster Kay will get some relief." Once everyone heard this, they walked out of the medical centre, but they were not happy about leaving Kay because they were all very concerned about her. As they were walking to the mansion, Bradley approached Paul who seemed very quiet. "What were you, Connie and John arguing about earlier?" Bradley asked. Paul sighed and said, "I guess you have the right to know as Kay's mate. Kay is a Princess. She'll not only receive full access to her powers on her 21st birthday, but she will inherit a large trust fund from Connie's father. Kay is a very rich woman, indeed." Paul paused to allow what he said to register. "I wanted to tell her everything, but Connie and John don't think that she is ready, yet. They think that she needs to learn how to use her powers first. Please don't say anything to Kay until we decide what to do." The tension in the pack was approaching the boiling point, and Bradley was worried the members in the pack would start fighting to let off steam. He thought, I think I'll call a pack meeting to explain things to them. It's the least that I could do. I should have already let them know that I've found my mate. They should also be told about the danger to my mate and possibly the pack. When Bradley arrived at the mansion, he went to his office with Jason following him closely. Bradley said, "Jason call a full pack meeting." Jason asked, "What's happening?" Bradley said, "Isobel is with Kay now trying to stop this burning. She said that there is definitely someone trying to force Kay's powers to manifest early." "Oh, my God. It's one thing to suspect someone is messing with her and another to have it confirmed," exclaimed Jason. "What are you going to do?" Bradley replied, "I'm going to call a pack meeting and explain things to them. I'll tell them that Kay is my mate. I know that they are wondering what's going on. They can hear Kay screaming, and they see all of these new faces. They need to be aware of everything, so they can know how to proceed and how to protect themselves. "John mentioned getting the twins to help protect the compound. They are supposed to be the best at protecting a place; therefore, I gather they are witches. The twins should arrive soon by portal, but we need to let the pack know what's happening as I can feel their tension," said Bradley. "Yes, I've been feeling the tension for a few hours now," replied Jason. ---------------------- At the medical centre ---------------------- Isobel and Connie removed Kay from the shower, striped her and dried her off. Drying Kay was quick because her skin was so hot it dried almost as soon as the shower stopped. Kay was crying hysterically because without the cold water the pain was unbearable. Isobel and Connie put on surgical gloves. Isobel squeezed a handful of strange blue paste into her hand and rubbed it on Kay's skin. Seeing what Isobel was doing, Connie applied the blue paste on Kay, also. As soon as the paste was rubbed on Kay's skin, it started to hiss and began cooling her skin bit by bit. The more paste that was applied, the cooler Kay's skin became. As Kay's skin cooled, the blisters faded, and Kay calmed down and stopped screaming. The medical centre was finally quiet. Isobel and Connie rubbed the paste all over Kay, making sure that every inch of her skin was covered. Then, Isobel mixed a few of the herbs she had brought with her to make a tea. It looked foul but smelt a bit like mint. Handing Kay the tea, Isobel said, "I need you to drink this. You can do it a little at a time or all at once, but you have finished the whole cup." Kay looked at the tea and thought I have to drink this? It looks awful, but the paste that she rubbed on me has almost stopped the burning, so I think I'll trust her and drink this. Kay looked at the older woman and said softly as she began to drink the tea, "What's your name?" Isobel smiled and said, "I'm Isobel and I am the healer for your mother's pride." By the time she finished drinking the tea, Kay was getting sleepy. All the screaming and crying she had done had exhausted her. Kay handed the cup to Isobel and asked, "May I lie down? I'm getting sleepy." Connie searched for a place for Kay to lie down. She located a room down the hall to the left. The room appeared to be a suite, and the bed was a queen sized bed. By the time Connie returned, Kay was asleep standing up with her head on Isobel's shoulder. Isobel and Connie got Kay settled in the suite and let Kay get some much needed rest. "What's in that tea?" asked Connie. "It's a rare recipe of my mother's which I haven't used for ages," said Isobel. "It will help her body relax. The paste we rubbed on her is designed to keep the skin cool." In the mansion, Bradley noticed that everything was quiet. It took him a minute to realize why this disturbed him. He thought Kay has stopped screaming. I wonder if that's a good sign. For the first time in a long time, he was actually afraid. Nathan, will you go check on Kay? He projected. Yes, my Alpha, Nathan replied and went to the examination room where they left Kay "Bradley sent me to check on Kay. He was concerned because the screaming stopped. How's she doing?" Nathan asked. "We rubbed her down in a paste to cool her skin and gave her some tea to help her relax and rest. She is now asleep," said Isobel. "Thank you, so much Isobel. I know that you hate travelling by portal, but this was an emergency," said Connie. "Oh don't thank me, yet. We have to get those wards up fast to stop the pull she's feeling or it will start all over again," said Isobel. ------------------- Back at the Mansion ------------------- Jason rang the meeting bell in Bradley's office 3 times to let everyone know there was a meeting in the main community hall in 30 minutes. Each time he rang the bell meant ten minutes. Jessica and Charlotte arrived and were shown to Bradley's office. "Hi, we're the twins, Jessica and Charlotte," Charlotte said. "Where is John?" asked Jessica. "Hi, I'm Jason. He's coming. We're about to have a meeting to explain what is happening to the pack," Jason explained just before John arrived, followed by Henry, Isobel and Connie. "Nice to meet you, Jason. We need a room where we can do her casting," said Jessica. "Casting?" Jason said looking puzzled. "Yes," said Jessica. "John asked us to come and help make this place safe, so we need a room to cast our protection spells, a casting room," Jessica said with a grin. "Hang on, let me find out where Bradley is," he said. Jason thought, Alpha, where are you? Bradley replied, In the kitchen talking to Nigel, Linda and Charlie. Jason hurried to the kitchen. When he was almost there, he heard Nigel ask, "So what are you going to tell the pack? "The truth," replied Bradley. "Oh God, things have gotten so complicated in the last week." "I think the pack feels the tension," said Charlie. "That's why I called a meeting," said Bradley. "You're going to have to tell them you've found your mate and about the extra guards that are now here," said Nigel. "There are more guards on the way," said Jason as he stepped into the kitchen. As he was passing the plate of chocolate fudge cake, he snagged a piece since everyone seemed to be sitting at the table eating. "Hey, this cake is really good," he said. "Kay made it before the pain got so bad," said Charlie. "It's an award winning recipe. She first made it when she was ten years old." "Wow, this is delicious," Jason exclaimed. "Alpha, the twins, Jessica and Charlotte, have arrived and need a room in which to do their spell casting," he said turning to Bradley. "Where are they?" asked Bradley. "In your office," answered Jason. "Who else is in there with them?" questioned Bradley. "Well, Henry, John, Connie, Isobel and Sarah are there with them," said Jason. Bradley and Jason left the kitchen. "See you at the meeting," Bradley said to the others. When they entered the office, Charlotte said, "You must be the Alpha of the Black Wolf pack. I am Charlotte and this is my sister Jessica. We'll need a room to use for casting our spells." A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 08 "There's a back room you can use. It's usually used for storage, but I'll have it cleaned out for you to use as the casting room. Ok?" said Bradley. "That'll be fine," said Charlotte. Oh my God, this is one gorgeous man. I thought that the other men that I have met from the Black Wolf pack were good looking. Oh my.... Come to think of it that Jason is fine as hell, but he seems to have an eye on my sister. I bet that she hasn't even noticed him. She then glanced in Jessica's direction and noticed that Jason and Jessica were giving each other the eye. Well, I just be damned. Jessica finally found a man who caught her eye and she has caught his eye. This is going to be interesting, thought Charlotte with a smirk. Bradley said, "Jason arrange for the storage room to be cleaned out and show Jessica and Charlotte where it is," As Jason left to do his Alpha's bidding, Bradley stayed behind with the others in the office. If I wasn't so worried about Kay, I would be having a ball teasing Jason. If I make no mistake, he has found his mate. Things are definitely looking up in the Black Wolf pack when the Alpha and one of his Betas find their mates in the same week, thought Bradley with a smile. "Nathan said that you stopped the burning," Bradley said to Isobel. "Well, I have for the moment, but I'll feel much better when the twins have the wards in place around the property," said Isobel. "There will be a pack meeting in the community room and I would like you all to attend it," said Bradley. Suddenly he noticed that Paul was not with them. "Where's Paul?" asked Bradley. "He's sitting with Kay," answered Connie. Looking at his watch, he thought I have enough time. "I'm going over to see how Kay's doing before the meeting," said Bradley. They all left the office. Bradley headed to the medical centre to check on Kay while the others headed to the community room. At the medical centre, Kay was just waking up. She was amazed how cool her skin felt. For the first time in ages, the pain was gone. She thought I wonder what's in the cream and the tea that Isobel used on me. It worked wonders. She realized there was someone in the room with her and noticed Paul standing by the window looking outside. "Hey, Paul," she croaked. Paul turned around to find that Kay was awake. "Do you want some water?" Paul asked with a tender smile. "Your voice sounds hoarse and scratchy." "Yes please, Paul," said Kay. "How do you feel?" Paul continued to question her. "My skin is a little warm, but not nearly as bad as it was. In fact, compared to what I was feeling my skin is cold," answered Kay. "Where are the others?" she asked. "Bradley has called a pack meeting because there is so much going on here. The pack is feeling the tension, so he wants them to have an explanation from him. All the others are over there, also," Paul answered. Just then Bradley came in. "How are you feeling, honey?" he asked leaning over to place a gently kiss on Kay's lips as he sat beside her on the bed. "A lot better, Brad thanks," Kay answered. "My skin is much cooler, now. I don't know what was in that tea Isobel gave me or the paste she used on my skin, but it did the trick." "Your skin is slightly blue now. Have you noticed honey?" Bradley asked with a smile. "I know, but I think it'll wash off. Well.... at least I hope it will. Otherwise, I'll be a blue tiger not a white one," she answered laughing. "I think it'll wash off," Bradley answered her. He tried to picture a blue tiger and started chuckling. "What're you chuckling about?" asked Paul. "Well, I told Kay that she was blue and she said that she thought it would wash off. I, then wondered what it would be like to have a blue tiger running round the place," replied Bradley with a smile. "Oh you," said Kay thumping Brad on the arm, and they all started laughing. "I can't stay long. I'm having a pack meeting to tell them what is going on," Bradley said. "Why?" asked Kay. "At the moment, we have your family. We have a lot of extra guards, your mother's body guards and warriors from neighbouring packs and prides. The twins are here placing wards over the property because your dad wants you protected against this Lazlo chap. From what your dad has told me, he's a nasty piece of work and we aren't taking any chances," answered Brad. "Who are the twins?" asked Kay. Paul answered, "They're witches and they're the best at casting Protection spells." "I didn't want to bring you so much trouble, Brad. I feel bad making the pack go through all of this," Kay cried with her hands over her face. "Now you stop that. I want none of that nonsense," stated Brad removing her hands from her face. "You're not bringing us trouble, and even if you were, baby, I want to protect you. I want to be with you always Kay. You're my other half and where you go I will follow." He stated gazing deeply into her eyes. "I would never ask you to leave here, Brad. The compound makes me feel calm and relaxed, somehow. Like I've been here all my life instead of just a few days," said Kay. "Honey, I know. We'll talk more about it after the meeting, ok?" Brad said with a kiss. "Ok, sweetie, but don't leave me too long," Kay said with a sigh. "Paul, are you coming or staying with Kay?" asked Bradley. Just then, Nathan came in to check on Kay. He was glad to see she was looking much better. "I think I'll come with you, Bradley. Are you going to be alright, Kay?" Paul asked her. "I'll be fine, and in any case Jane and Nathan are here with me," Kay answered. "Well," said Nathan, "I will have to attend the meeting, but Jane can stay with you. Ok?" "Ok," said Kay. Bradley, Nathan and Paul walked to the community room together, leaving Jane talking to Kay. ---------------- The Pack Meeting ---------------- Bradley sat in the front of the room on a raised platform with Jason on one side of him and Travis on the other. The platform also contained Connie, John, Henry and Paul. Bradley brought the meeting to order by saying, "May I have everyone's attention?" Immediately everyone fell silent to listen to what was about to be said. "I've called this emergency meeting to inform you of a few things. I'll tell you everything that's going on, but I want to do so without any of you interrupting. When I'm done, you can have your say," stated Bradley. Everyone agreed, although he could tell by looking at some of them that they were not happy. Bradley had placed his Betas in different areas around the community room, in case of trouble. Bradley started his speech, "For those of you who don't know, I found my mate about a week ago. Her name is Kay. Tomorrow is Kay's 21st birthday and on that day she will receive complete access to her powers. She will shift for the first time on the first full moon that follows her 21st birthday. "Some of you have seen my mate, already and most of you have heard her screaming. As far as we can tell, she is going through a forced shift. That means someone is trying to force her powers to manifest before her body is ready for them. The forced shift has caused Kay skin to be extraordinarily hot and painful. This is why she is screaming," Bradley paused to give the pack time for what he said to be digested. "The force shift places her in danger. For this reason, she's living on pack grounds before we're mated. The danger that your new Alpha Bitch faces places the entire pack in danger," Bradley stated the obvious. "Let me introduce Kay's family to you. John and Connie are her parents." John and Connie stood, waved to the pack and sat down. "Paul's her adopted brother." Paul stood as well and sat down. "And Henry's her uncle as well as her solicitor." Henry stood, nodded and sat down. "You have seen other new faces within the compound which I would like to explain. We have a number of extra guards patrolling the grounds from neighbouring packs and prides. Connie's royal guards are also patrolling the grounds. In the back of the room, we have Jessica, Charlotte and Isobel. Isobel is the pack healer for Connie's pride and she is attending Kay with Nathan's and Mason's assistance. Jessica and Charlotte are putting up magical wards around our property to give us extra protection. "You'll probably want to know what the threat is. Well, I'll let John explain that to you in a minute. What I want to say is, we'll be experiencing some changes, for now, and I want everyone to get along with each other. I will not tolerate fighting amongst ourselves," Bradley paused again to allow what he said to be digested. "Now, I'm open for questions," Bradley ended his speech. He knew that most of the pack would accept the decisions that were made without much fuss. He also knew if any of them were going to make an issue out of this it would be Matthew Winterbourne and Eric Shuttleworth. As expected, Matthew Winterbourne and Eric Shuttleworth stood up. "We don't see what all the fuss is about. So you've found your mate, congratulations, but, why all this high security and putting up magical wards? It appears that your mate is in danger not us. Will we be able to go to work and the kids to school?" That started others moaning about their jobs and families. Bradley shouted, "QUIET." Once everyone quieted down Bradley said, "You'll still be able to go to work and your children will be able to go to school. That won't change. You'll still be able to do all the things you do now by moving through the wards. Jessica assures me that the wards will recognize pack members." This seemed to satisfy everyone. "As an added precaution, the children will be guarded as they go to and from school. Also the pregnant women will have extra guards when they leave pack grounds. I think it's better to be safe than sorry; therefore, I'm taking extra measures to keep us all safe. If there's no further questions, I'll allow John to explain in more detail what's happening," Bradley ended. Bradley motioned John. John stood and faced the pack on the platform. He then began, "Hello my name is John and I'm Kay's father. I'm a wizard, a Sorcerer level twelve which is the highest level there is. I'm an elemental as well as being an Ancient so is Henry, Paul, Kay and my wife Connie. I'm a Water Elemental. Henry and Paul are Air Elementals. Kay and Connie are Fire Elementals," John paused to make sure that everyone was following him. "Ancients are complicated. We are classed as a race among the other magical races, but Ancients aren't really a race. They are merely a unique group of people who can't be killed, travel through time and are often referred to as 'Guardians'. An Ancient's sole purpose is, well I guess, to prevent certain things from happening. We are ruled by the fates and timelines. We basically can command our will to do a number of things, but I will not go into that now. You will all get a chance to see some of our powers as I teach my daughter how to use and control her powers. Anyway, I hope that explains a bit about Ancients. "My daughter Kay is a very rare being in that she is not only an Ancient and a sorceress, but she has also inherited a rare immortal gene, as well. You see Kay's a white were-tiger, just like her mother. They are extremely rare and very powerful," John saw that he had everyone's attention. It appeared as though they were barely breathing. John continued, "There is a leader of the underworld named Lazlo, who wants to kidnap Kay and use her powers to start a war between the humans and the non-humans. He has tried twice already to kidnap Kay, which is why we are taking precautions to protect her. Since Kay's Bradley's mate, he brought her to Wolfe mansion when he found out her house was broken into. The extra guards around pack grounds are because Lazlo will be able to locate Kay by her aurora once her powers manifest. The wards will be in place to hopefully keep Lazlo and his kind from locating Kay until she had learned to use her powers. We have to make sure that Lazlo does not gain control of Kay and, therefore, her powers. "Tomorrow, a few others will be joining us. They include the magical council, some other ancients and representatives of the other non-human races. We will discuss battle plans, in case Lazlo is able to get Kay. "We must stop Lazlo and his evil plans. I think that I speak for myself and my family when I say 'We do not want to start a war.' I know this gives you much for thought, but I hope you'll support us in our hour of need." John sat down and Bradley stood. Bradley began, "Well, you've heard why we have the extra guards and why wards will be placed around the property. There's no immediate danger to anyone except Kay, but we're taking extra precautions anyway. Does anyone have any questions?" Matthew Winterbourne jumped to his feet. "Yes, Matthew," sighed Bradley. "When are we going to meet Kay?" Matthew said. "She's in the medical centre at the moment, but she should be in the mansion later. Depending on how she feels, I'll see what can be arranged," stated Bradley. Matthew sat down and Elder Sam Brown stood. "Yes, Sam?" Bradley asked in surprise. He wasn't expecting Sam to have anything to say. Sam was the strong silent type. Sam began with a smile, "It's nice to finally know something about Ancients. I've always thought they're too complicated to be understood properly. I was, also, wondering why the meeting of the other races and the magical council will be here? Wouldn't it be easier to have the meeting at the magical convention centre in London?" Bradley answered, "Because three of the magical council are already here and the others will be here tomorrow for Kay's birthday, it will be better to hold the meeting here." "Have you any idea where we'll house the meeting?" asked Sam. "I thought in the large theatre. It will hold about four hundred. We will have enough guards to post around the entire building because every representative will bring their own guards," Bradley answered. "Ok. I have no objections to having the meeting here, but will they all stay here?" Sam said. "No, they'll be staying at a hotel in town. The witches will place wards around the hotel to keep them safe," stated Bradley. "Does anybody else have any questions?" asked Bradley. No one spoke. "In that case, I adjourn this meeting," said Bradley. Everyone began to leave the community room. Bradley headed to the medical centre to check on Kay. John left to see Isobel, Jessica and Charlotte to get an update on the status of the wards. While rest of Kay's family and Bradley's guest returned to the mansion. The Casting Room John went to find Jessica, Charlotte and Isobel in the casting room. Jessica entered in a pentagram that was drawn on the floor, Charlotte stood in a stone circle, and Isobel stirred a brew in a big caldron on a portable burner. "How's it going?" John asked Jessica. "We're nearly done," replied Jessica. "After the paste that Connie and I rubbed on Kay and the tea she drank, Kay should be feeling much better by now," said Isobel. "Can she get up and shower, now?" John asked. "Yes, she can, but tell her I will put the paste on her again before she goes to bed," answered Isobel. "Ok thanks. I'll go tell her. She'll be pleased. I want to thank all of you for all that you have done to help Kay," John said with a smile. He left the casting room for the medical centre. ---------------------- At the Medical Centre ---------------------- When John entered the medical centre, he heard giggling. It was the sweetest sound he had heard in a long time. Before entering Kay's room, he stood there a minute to enjoy it. What he saw made him grin. Bradley was in bed with Kay tickling her. She was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face. His smile slipped a little because he realized how much he missed her. Silently, he promised again I've missed so much of her life. I'll never allow anything or anyone to keep me from her again. John approached the bed and hugged Kay, "Hey, you sound much better," John said. Bradley and Kay smiled at him. "Isobel said you can get up and have a shower," John delivered the news. Kay kissed Brad, hugged her father, jumped out of bed, grabbed a robe from the end of the bed and raced into the bathroom. John said to Bradley, "I haven't seen my daughter this happy in a long time. I know I haven't been around, but I've had people keeping an eye on her. My people sent me pictures of her constantly. In none of those pictures did she appear as happy as I've seen her with you. Thank you." Bradley could feel John's emotions were close to the surface. "I love your daughter very much. I intend to, not only, make her my mate, but I vow to do everything in my power to keep her safe and happy," was Bradley's heartfelt reply. John grinned and said, "I know you will. Like I said before, I'm glad she has you to look after her." John became serious, "What're we going to do to celebrate Kay's birthday tomorrow?" "I've been thinking," said Bradley, "since we have all these people coming anyway we could throw her surprise party. She does not know all of these people are coming, so I think that we can get away with it. I can have Charlie to bake her cake and get Jane and some of the other bitches to decorate the large theatre. We've got to feed everyone so I think a barbeque would be in order. "I've already got her a present, and tomorrow I intend to ask her to be my mate and my wife. Since Kay has lived most of her life as a human and I know how much getting married means to them, I think that she would really enjoy getting married. I, also, think it will be nice to share the experience with everyone who will be present." "That sounds like a good idea," John agreed. Just then Kay came out of the bathroom wrapped in the robe. "I don't have any clothes here," she complained. "Why don't you teleport yourself to Bradley's room and put some on then?" John laughed. "Smashing idea," Kay said and grabbed Brad's hand. Before he knew what she intended, they were in his suite. "That felt weird," said Brad, "It was like being squashed in a tight place. Does it always feel like that?" "It did at first, but not anymore," Kay answered. The pain had stopped completely and Kay was feeling calm and horny. She thought I cannot believe, after everything that I've been through, I'm horny. She smiled and kissed Brad while sliding her arms around his neck. The kiss started gently, but became more passionate as he responded. When they parted, they were both breathing hard. Kay let her robe slide to the floor. Brad thought I'm so hard, and I want Kay so badly. I really hope that she's feeling up to this. He picked her up and laid her gently on the bed. He looked at her body closely now that it wasn't red and thought Boy, oh, boy does she turn me on. Her tits are all perky and her nipples are really hard as though they are just begging me to suckle them. With that thought, Brad started to slowly removing his clothes beginning with his shirt. Next, he removed his shoes and began unbuttoning his jeans. Once his jeans were unbuttoned, he hooked his thumb in the side of his jeans and his boxers and pushed them over his butt. After they cleared his butt, he let them slide down his legs and stepped out of them. By this time, he was so hard; his cock was protruding from his groin, proudly telling Kay how much he wanted her. Kay stared at Brad for a minute. She thought He is just gorgeous. I cannot believe he is all mine. She then focused on his rock, hard dick as he moved to the edge of the bed. She laid on her stomach and gently took his cock in her mouth. Brad moaned and thought God that feels good. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 08 Kay ran her tongue up, down and around his shaft. She massaged his balls while her mouth applied gentle suction to his cock. Kay thought He tastes delicious and began humming. Her humming sent vibrations down the length of his shaft. "Oh, my God! If you don't stop, I'm going to cum," Brad exclaimed. "You know it has been a couple days since we last made love. " Kay ignored his warning, applied more pressure and picked up the pace. He knew he couldn't hold off any longer and with a mighty shout ejected streams of cum down her throat. Kay swallowed it all without losing a drop. She even took pleasure in cleaning up the saliva and pre-cum she had spread on his shaft. "That was amazing, honey. I don't think I've ever cum that much from a blow job. Not once, in my long life," said Brad. "How did you learn how to do that?" he asked. Kay blushed, "Well, I like to read stories on the site Literotica, and I got some ideas from there. I promised myself, if I ever found the right person, I was going to see how much he enjoyed what I read." "Well, take it from me, I loved it, and I can't wait to see what else you learned on that site," replied Brad panting heavily. He began gently kissing Kay as his hands caressed her back. His kisses became longer and more passionate as he kissed her neck and collar bone. His hands progressed to her breasts where he rolled her nipples before pinching and pulling them just a little bit. Brad had Kay on fire and this time the fire had nothing to do with a forced shift. The amount of pleasure that she felt was so intense that she needed to touch him. Kay rubbed Brad's chest and back. Kay thought His muscles are so big and hard. He feels like a warm statue. Suddenly she moaned as Brad took one of her nipples in his mouth and stroked it with his tongue. Brad nipped the nipple in his mouth while pulling and pinching the other nipple. Kay arched her back and tensed as her pussy flooded with moisture. Brad switched to the other nipple doing the same thing until he heard Kay moan. Her breathing came faster as she clasped Brad's head to her breast. He sucked really hard, nibbling her erect nipples. "Oh God Brad, I want you inside me now!" Kay exclaimed. "Not yet baby, be patient," Brad said, and he moved down her body toward her pussy. Brad made circles around Kay's clit and then licked up and down it until Kay began purring. He gently inserted two fingers inside her pumping them slowly in and out as he nursed on her clit. After a few minutes past with two fingers pumping in Kay's pussy, he curled his fingers upward and began stroking on her G-spot. Kay squirmed off the bed and threw her head back in ecstasy. As he stroked faster, Kay cum so hard she passed out. When she came to, "Brad, please," was the only coherent thing she could moan. "Please what honey? What do you want?" Brad asked with a grinning. "Please Brad, fuck me now. Please I can't take much more," Kay said after a few moments. I can't believe that he just made me pass out. Damn, what a man, she thought. Brad positioned himself over her and rubbed his now very erect cock up and down her pussy. He slowly, pushed his cock into Kay. He knew he was big and he had to go slowly to let Kay adjusts to his size again. He could feel his wolf close to the surface and had to fight hard to keep him suppressed. I know I have to be careful, but oh God this feels so right. I feel badly for my wolf. He only wants to claim Kay before anyone else does, but after everything she's been through, I don't think that she's ready to be mated. Brad thought. Kay felt herself getting close again as Brad entered her dripping pussy. God, this feels so good, she thought. I need him to really fuck me, though. I know that he thinks he's doing me a favour, taking it easy on me, but I'll hurt him if he doesn't stop teasing me. "Brad, please stop teasing me," she said with a glare. "Fuck me. Please fuck me hard and make me cum. I need to cum on your cock! Please fuck me!" she screamed. Brad could not take any more, so he rammed his cock into Kay. He kept pushing until their groins touched. He started pumping fast and hard. "Oh God, that feels ssssooooo good! Don't stop!" Kay exclaimed. Brad continued fucking her hard. He knew his wolf wanted out and it got harder to control him. Finally, his wolf had enough and pushed to the surface. Brad's eyes shifted to a golden colour, his cock grew bigger, and his knot started to form. There was no way that Brad could warn Kay before his knot slipped into her. With the wolf in control, he really fucked her hard as the wolf went into overdrive intent on claiming his mate. Suddenly, Kay felt so full and had a wonderful feeling. She didn't know what Brad had pushed inside her, but it was hitting her G-spot just right. She was going to cum, again. She could just feel it. This is the best sex yet, she thought to herself, and then she exploded cumming all over Brad's cock. When Kay exploded, her pussy gripped his cock. That's it, Brad thought. She is ringing the cum from my balls. While Brad's knot locked him and Kay together, Kay had her head leaning to the side enjoying the most intense orgasm of her life. Suddenly, before Brad could stop him, his wolf decided to mark his mate. The wolf licked the spot between her neck and shoulder where he would place his mark. With his decision made, he lunged and bit her marking her as his. He licked the wound to close it, and then let his human have the control back. When she felt Brad bite her, Kay was shocked. After she got over the shock, she realized that she didn't mind Brad biting her. I don't know why he bit me, but I bet it has something to do with me being his mate. I am so sleepy, she thought. As Kay finished this thought, she relaxed and quickly fell asleep. When Brad's breathing slowly returned to normal, he noticed Kay had fallen asleep in his arms. He could not believe that he had bit her. I bet you're proud of yourself, aren't you? He thought as his wolf grinned at him. He let Kay rest for a while knowing she would have some questions when she woke. Suddenly, he felt tired and fell asleep still locked together. Two hours later, Kay woke slowly and looked at Brad. His chest rose and fell evenly while she laid on top of him. She kissed him gently biting his lower lip. Brad's eyes snapped open and he said, "Hi honey, how are you feeling?" "I'm fine, Brad. Why did you bite me?" asked Kay. "I didn't," replied Brad with a smile. "You did," she said and turned her neck to show him the mark that was made. Oh God, thought Brad to his wolf Are you satisfied now? You might have scared her off. Why couldn't you have waited? Brad said, "Honey, I'm sorry about that, but it wasn't me. It was my wolf marking you as his." "What do you mean?" asked Kay. "Well, we wolves mate for life. Do you remember me telling you we are destined to be together? That we were mates? Well, when we find our mates, our wolf knows by the smell and once that happens there is no going back. The wolf is focused entirely on claiming our mate," Brad stated with a sigh while hoping that she would accept what happened. "What happens if I don't want this? Do I have a choice?" Kay asked. "Yes, you have a choice. If we don't mate, you can still be with me if you want too. You just can't involve yourself in pack business," Brad replied. Kay thought about what Brad said for a while, Brad makes me feel safe and I've had this feeling from day one when I was sitting in the park. Brad thought to his wolf, I told you we should wait. But, no, you had to go ahead didn't you? Thanks to you we may have lost her. His wolf tucked his tail and began whining. Brad was so busy telling his wolf off he didn't notice Kay smiling at him. Suddenly, he felt her kiss him. He knew, then, things were okay, and he wrapped his arms around her. "Brad, I've never felt like this about anyone. You make me safe and when you are near me, I never want to let you go. I know we've only known each other for a little over a week, but I know I don't want to leave you," Kay said. Bradley hugged and kissed her hard. He was ecstatic and so was his wolf. They hadn't frightened her off. "You don't mind my wolf biting you, then?" Brad asked. "No, I don't mind. Do I have to bite you and mark you as mine?" Kay asked. She wanted to make sure that everyone knew he was off the market. "Only if you want to Kay," said Brad. "I want too," Kay said immediately. They started kissing and trailing kisses down each other's necks. Suddenly, Kay bit Brad's neck. Since they were still locked together, Brad's cock started pumping in Kay. They rolled till Brad was on top. He placed Kay legs on his shoulder, so he could get deeper. Then he began pumping in earnest. "Oh God, yes Brad," Kay moans. "Fuck me, fuck me harder please." Brad said, "What my lady wants she gets." He started fucking her harder, ramming into her like a piston. Kay moaned louder because she felt her orgasm building and knew she wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. Brad felt his wolf near the surface and said, "Baby, I can't hold on to my wolf don't be scared." Kay wasn't scared. She was more concerned with getting fucked. Brad shifted into his wolf form. Kay felt his claws digging into her side, but she was too far gone to care. Oh my, she thinks, his cock is getting bigger. She felt so full and Brad was still ramming into her hard. She arched off the bed as her orgasm grew closer. She clutched the sheets, and then she couldn't hold back and exploded all over Brad's cock. Brad couldn't hold back any longer and began pumping loads and loads of spunk into Kay's dripping wet pussy. Brad's wolf bit Kay on the neck again drawing blood and licked the wound clean. He just couldn't resists tasting her blood again. Brad shifted back into human form, but they were still locked together. It took three hours before they came apart. When they came apart, Kay got up to go to the bathroom. She felt stiff and sore, but happy from the great sex she just had. Brad joined her in the shower. They cleaned up, dressed and went downstairs in search of something to eat. When they arrived downstairs, they smelled wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. Charlie had been busy. He and his assistants had been cooking up a storm. Most of the guards were served either steak, Beef Curry, Sheppard's pie or Spaghetti Bolognaise with chips, potatoes or rice and mixed vegetables. They were now enjoying running round the grounds to familiarize themselves with the area they would be guarding. Connie, John, Henry, Paul, Jessica, Charlotte, Isobel, Jason, Sarah, Nigel, and Linda were in the kitchen. The kitchen was rather large with all the usual modern appliances and the work surfaces were black marble. When Bradley and Kay entered the kitchen, Charlie said, "Hi. We've been waiting for you two." Paul noticed that Kay had a mark on her neck and so had Bradley. "You've marked each other," he said. Kay was a bit embarrassed when she said, "Yes, we're mates." Bradley said, "We'll have a mating ceremony next week after Kay has had her first shift." "Mating ceremony?" Kay asked, "What is that?" "I'll explain later honey. For now, let's eat. I'm starved after all that exercise in the bedroom," Brad said. Kay blushed, and everyone laughed. "So, what's everyone having?" asked Charlie. In the end, they put all the dishes on offer on the table and everyone helped themselves. After fixing their plates, they carried their dinners into the family dining room to eat. The men opted for steak and beef curry. Kay had her favourite, Sheppard's Pie with vegetables and extra gravy. Connie, Sarah, Isobel, Jessica, Charlotte, and Linda had a little bit of everything. Afterwards, they all had chocolate fudge cake. The dinner was lovely. Once they finished eating, they went outside to walk or run off the meal. Kay felt better than she had for a while. The pain had completely stopped and her skin was almost normal. There were still some red places, but as far as she could see all of the blisters were healed. Kay was a bit worried about tomorrow. Tomorrow was her birthday. She wondered What will happen tomorrow when I get full use of these powers my father has been talking about. He says I will have to learn how to control my powers quickly to be able to protect myself from Lazlo. Isobel approached Kay as she walked with Bradley around the garden and said. "Kay, before I go to bed, I must reapply the blue paste. I, also, want you to drink another cup of the tea for me, please." "Ok, if you say so. But I feel fine now," Kay answered. "I still want to reapply the blue paste and have you drink another cup of herbal tea tonight," Isobel replied. Kay said goodnight to her parents and everyone else, and then headed over to the medical centre with Brad where Isobel applied the cream and had her drink the herbal tea. Not wanting to go back outside and frighten everyone with her blue skin, Kay grabbed Brad's hand and teleported them back to his bedroom. They got in to bed and were soon asleep. To be continued. --------------------------------------------- My Thanks to everyone for their comments and continued support. Thank you also to my editor because without her help my gramma would be terrible. My Editor is now in the process of editing Chapter 9 and should be on line soon. I'm busy writting chapter 10. Please leave me some feedback and let know what you think about this chapter. I have been trying to make them longer for you. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 10 Well here is the long awaited chapter ten. In this chapter there I a scene involving BDSM torture of a 19 years girl held in Lazlo's underground world. I'm sorry if this upsets some people but, it is necessary for the story. There also a punishment scene in this chapter and again some bits of it may cause some distress. Let my apologise in advance but again it is necessary for the story. I'm trying out a new editor for this chapter as well as having help from two proof readers. I want to thank JazCullen and Whitesabretooth for their help with this chapter. The events and business mentioned in this story and purely fiction and the story is from my imagination and not from nothing in real life. ---------------------------------------- Hello, Everyone I hope you enjoy reading this chapter and look forward to your feedback sorry this chapter has taken a long time to write but I have had a family crisis here and things are only just getting back to normal. So hope you will forgive me. This chapter is a lot longer than previous ones and hopefully it is worth the wait. Have Fun From Kay. * Chapter 10: Kay's Power's Kay woke up feeling very happy. Yesterday was her birthday and she had the most fantastic day in all her life. She had never had a birthday party like the one she had yesterday. This morning she was going to start to learn how to use these powers and control them a bit better than she was now. She looked over noticing Bradley was still out for the count. She felt safe being with him and he made her feel happy and wanted. Kay started chuckling to herself, she knew the perfect way to wake him up and maybe have a bit of fun before the day really had to start. She looked at the clock and noticed it was only 5am. She had plenty of time for what she had in mind. She got out of bed and walked quietly to Bradley's wardrobe and collected three ties from the rack on the back of the door. Unknown to Kay Bradley had felt her get out of bed and was watching her. He wondered what she was up to. He rolled onto his back and pretended to be still asleep, listening carefully to her every move. Kay quietly walked back to the bed and realised Bradley was now on his back and thought, hmm that makes it a bit easier for me. She noticed his arms were above his head (even better) as she gently wrapped a tie around his wrists before attaching them to the head board. She moved down his body and gently tied each of his ankles to the corner posts of the bed. Bradley opened his eyes and wondered what she was going to do; Kay had gone into the sitting room. He decided to close his eyes and just let her play for a while. Kay was in the sitting room getting a feather from the side table and she also picked up a rose from the vase of flowers on the table. She went back to their room, got back on the bed and then pulled the bedclothes off Bradley completely. He opened his eyes and shocked her by asking. "What are you playing at Kay?" Bradley asked. "Oh, I thought you were asleep," she said. "I've been a wake since you moved." "Oh Brad," she sighed. "Can you close your eyes?" "What you going to do?" "You will see soon." He closed his eyes again. She decided to get one of her scarves and blind fold him to make sure he couldn't see what she was going to do. She sat astride Bradley's hips and then got the feather and slowly stroked it down his face and neck and then down his chest. Bradley muscles were jumping a bit; it felt ticklish but nice. She made a cycle around each of his flat nipples and then when she got to his stomach he laughed out loud and tried to squirm away from the feather. Kay was having fun watching Bradley's reaction, his cock was rock hard and twitching. She just had to have a taste of his wonderful cock. She slowly traced the feather up and down his cock and watched it jumping all over the place and she leant down and gently licked the tip. Bradley moaned. Kay was stroking him with the feather, up and down, while she was licking his cock with the same motion. Bradley was moaning constantly; he couldn't take much more. Kay was driving him slowly mad; he wanted to touch her but he couldn't because he was still tied to the bed. Kay slowly took Bradley into her mouth and sucked him hard, sucking him right down her throat before running her tongue up and down and around the whole length. She ran the feather over his balls while sucking his cock deep down her throat. Bradley was moaning more loudly now and knew he couldn't hang on much more. Then Kay slowly let him slide out of her mouth with a pop, she started running the rose through his hair around his cock and running it up and down his arms and then turned a bit and trailed down the outside of his legs and then the inside of his legs and Bradley knew he wouldn't be able to hang on to his wolf much longer; he was just under the surface now and wanted to be buried into Kay right now. "God Kay! please let me loose I can't take much more my wolf wants out," he shouted. "Oh my, poor baby; you've had enough of my teasing already." "Please, please baby let me touch you I'm going crazy here." Kay was chuckling but untied his legs and then she decided to leave his wrists tied to the head board just a bit longer. She got on top of Bradley again and sat astride his hips and slowly lowered herself onto his rock hard cock. That was the final straw for Bradley; he pulled the ties and Kay heard them snap and then he gently rolled them so he was on top of Kay and then kissed her hard. Kay was breathless before he let go. "Get on your knees honey. My wolf must have you now." He started to change, no longer able to hold onto his human form. Kay eyes were glowing as well as she got onto her knees. Bradley's wolf grabbed her hips and then rammed his cock into her wet sex. He pumped her hard, ramming his large cock all the way into her soaking wet pussy. She could not hold on much longer and could fell herself slowly coming unglued and then Bradley's wolf pulled all the way out and then rammed it back in again, hard. Kay screamed out her orgasm, it was so good she couldn't stop and just as she thought that was it Bradley pumped into her harder and then unloaded his hot jizz into her and she came again all over his cock. His knot started to form and he pushed into her slowly so as not to hurt her. Kay was in heaven as she came again and again. She felt Bradley's wolf bite her again in the same place as before. Bradley's wolf was so happy that they had his mate and then receded back so Bradley's human was back in charge. "Kay, are you OK?" He asked. "I'm fine, I feel great. That was amazing." She replied lazily. "You nearly drove me mad with that feather and rose thing. But it was good." "Worth doing again sometime?" she asked. "Oh god yeah, honey it was intense." They rested in each other's arms for a while waiting for Bradley's cock to shrink enough so they could separate. A little while later they were able to separate and then had a shower and got dressed before going downstairs for breakfast. They were just finishing their breakfast when John, Connie, Henry and Paul joined them. They were all drinking coffee or tea when there was a commotion just outside the kitchen. "What do you think you are doing bitch?" Was all they heard. Bradley got up to investigate. In the hall way he found Jessica on the floor wet and Charlotte standing there over her laughing her head off. There was a bucket leaking green goo all over the floor. "Look I said I was sorry." "Yeah right," replied Jessica. "You were not watching where you were going and walked straight into me." "What was in the bucket anyway?" Asked Jessica. "Emmm... nothing much," said Charlotte edgily. "I don't like the sound of your voice. What was in the bucket?" Jessica demanded to know again. "You better have a shower quickly," replied Charlotte and ran for it. Bradley helped Jessica up she smelt awful. Whatever had been in the bucket stank like mouldy cheese. "Are you alright," he asked. "Yeah, but I wished I knew what this stuff is." "Go and get a shower and we will see you later OK." Bradley suggested. "OK," she replied. Bradley watched her heading for the stairs and went back in the kitchen chuckling to himself. "What was all the commotion?" asked John. "Just Jessica and Charlotte in another argument." "You know you would never think those two were sisters would you." asked Connie. "No," replied Henry. "Mom, am I going to practice my powers this morning?" asked Kay. "Yeah honey in a while, your dad and Bradley have a meeting with the magical council in a bit." "Well you could start with her and we can all join you after the meeting," replied John. "Be careful what you try indoors and remember I will do the water test." "Oh John, don't be silly I will be alright doing the water test," answered Connie sighing. "Yeah just remember what happened last time you tried it without me being there." "Yeah but that was years ago and I'm fine now." "Alright you go ahead and try it then if you think it will be alright." John, Bradley, Henry and Paul went to the meeting with the magical council. Connie and Kay went to the gym where Kay was going to learn her powers. Kay was very nervous about this. "What did you do with water years ago?" asked Kay. "Well... er... I sort of messed up some how and instead of filling a jug like I was supposed to, I made it rain on your dad when he was in an important meeting with the magical council." "Right, lets determine which element you get your power from," said Connie. "What do you mean?" "Well we think you will get your basic powers from fire like me but there is a chance that you have inherited some of your father's powers for controlling the environment as well." "What like controlling the weather like dad can?" "Yes but we don't know for sure." "Watch me, see whether you can do this." Kay watched her mom. Connie held a palm flat out and concentrated for a moment. All of a sudden a little flame appeared on the palm of her hand. "OK, your turn." "How do I make it appear?" "Think in your mind to make flames appear on your hand, but be careful. It might look easy but it is not." Kay concentrated for a while then she managed to get her whole hand to smoke, but not much of a flame. "Well, not bad," said Connie. Next Connie had Kay sit on the floor and concentrate on her will. "Your will is the key to your power." Connie closed her eyes and willed herself a pair of jeans from her room. Then Kay had a go; she found this easy. Soon there was a small pile of things Kay had manage to will to her. Next her mom went and got a few items from the hall. She brought in a small table, a chair and a vase. "Right she said let's see," she put the table in the middle of the hall and the chair against the wall with the vase sitting beside the chair. "Kay I want you to move the chair by the table and then move the vase and place it in the middle of the table using your will." Kay visualised the vase in the middle of the table and all of a sudden it moved through the air on its own and went straight to the centre of the table. Next she moved the chair next to the table with her mind. "That's great Kay, well done," said Connie. "Right now then let's see whether you can fill the vase with water. Raise your hand and repeat after me vase fill with water." Kay raised her hand and repeated vase fill with water. The vase started filling with water. But something went wrong. The water wasn't stopping and soon there was a large puddle on the floor and the water kept coming. Oh no, thought Connie, that should have stopped by now. The water kept coming soon it was flowing out the door and no matter how hard Connie and Kay concentrated they couldn't get it to stop. It just kept coming. Connie thought to John, John, we are in trouble down here. Can you come? What's up I'm in a meeting at the moment? Well I was trying to teach Kay to fill a vase up with water, but something went wrong somehow and now we have a flood in the gym. Oh no, you know you can't control water; you never could. How bad is it? Bad; you had better come. Hang on, be right there. "Your father's coming he will sort it out." By now it was flowing out the door and along the corridor. The omegas were frantically trying to mop it up as best as they could but it was everywhere. Kay was crying and it seemed to be making it worse. The water seemed to be flowing even faster from the vase. John materialised in the Hall, took one look and then all the water disappeared. Next he looked at the soaking wet floor and dried it up fast. "Leave the water tests till tomorrow, when I can be here to help." "I'm so sorry dad," Kay said, crying on his shoulder. "It's alright honey but this is a perfect accident to explain how, when dealing with water, you have to be very precise in what you will into existence. Can you make fire like your mom?" "I made smoke appear on my hand but that's all. I can move the furniture around as I want and will myself all sorts of things." "That's great honey; I really must get back to this meeting. See you in about one hour, OK." "OK dad, and thanks for the help." John walked with Connie to the door and told her he would be there soon. "Let's get out of here," said Connie, "and try the fire power outside where we won't burn down the gym." As they walked outside Connie was thinking about the last time she had tried to use a water thought spell. ------------------------------------------------- At the Meeting. The whole Magical council was in the conference room along with Bradley and Jason. Sam and George the Pack Elders were there as well. The Magical council was made up of three Ancients: John, Henry and Paul; three masters Harold, Beverley and Maximilian (better known as Max); three level five Sorcerers Dallas better known as Dally, Martyn and Bessie and one each of the other races; Alan was a Troll, Roberto was an Elf, Zina was a Fairy, Beatrice was a Sprite, David a Pixie, Roger was a Vampire and Monty was a shape shifter. That comprised the sixteen people of the magical and other councils. Each race had a smaller council that ran each of their races themselves but this was too serious to not have everyone involved. The meeting started with John explaining the situation as they knew it at the moment. "I open this meeting of the magical and other nations with some of the events leading up to this point," John stated. "We all know of the threat that Lazlo and his follows have on us. None of us want a war between him and the other races, not to mention the humans. We have to stop this lunatic as soon as possible. He has already kidnapped Paul and had him tortured for information. If it hadn't have been for Kay and the link they share we never would have gotten to Paul in time. "Kay's house has been broken into; Bradley and the other shape shifter leaders in the area have been experiencing break-ins to their hotels and offices. We cannot prove that all these break-ins have been done by Lazlo but we can be sure that the man is hunting Kay. "We of the magical community know that my daughter Kay is more powerful than anyone in this room. She is the most powerful sorcerer since Merlin. We know that Lazlo wishes to capture Kay and use her powers to conquer not only our world, but the human world as well." "Lazlo must be stopped at all costs. For the moment, Kay will be staying here so she is well protected. We have Jessica and Charlotte and Isobel who have put up some magical wards on this property. All of you can add to this if you think it is necessary. Some of you can stay here but the rest are going to stay at the White Cat Hotel in the city and we are putting wards there as well just for added protection. "We have already got about 400 guards here and the surrounding packs & prides have been most helpful supplying these guards. Connie has the royal guards here as well and I know that some of you have your warriors here also. Bradley has had security increased here so we have cameras everywhere around the grounds and out buildings as well as the mansion. So Kay should be more protected here than anywhere else." "We must have a plan in contingency for the impending war. Now you know some of what has been happening. One last thing I haven't shared with you yet is when we rescued Paul, we captured Johnson. As some of you may know, he is Lazlo's right hand man, so I did a mindsweep on him. Nothing could have stopped me getting the information I needed after that. I was shocked by what I found out; not only does Lazlo want to control Kay and use her powers to start a war, but he also wants to use her DNA and start a race of super beings to take over the world." "Bradley I know what I'm about to say will upset you but I also lifted from Johnson's mind that Lazlo wants to mate with Kay and ,between her power and his, produce a child more powerful than anything else on this planet." Bradley had been sitting quietly till John said this. He growled loudly and jumped up from his seat and shouted. "THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN! I WANT THAT BASTARD DELT WITH. NOW!" "He will be, and over the next few days we will come up with a plan. I want everyone to think about this long and hard. We must have a plan of action, should the worst come to pass." Just then Connie thought to him. John, we are in trouble down here. Can you come? What's up? I'm in a meeting at the moment? Well I was trying to teach Kay to fill a vase up with water, but something went wrong somehow and now we have a flood in the gym. Oh no, you know you can't control water; you never could. How bad is it? Bad; you had better come. Hang on be right there. "Hang on a moment; my wife needs me. I won't be a minute." He told the room. "What's wrong," asked Harold "Connie is teaching Kay to use her powers, and she tried to teach her to fill a vase with water." "Oh my God!" said Henry, "You remember the last time Connie tried to use a water thought, don't you." "How can I forget?" replied John. "I don't think the magical community could forget that either replied," Max chuckled. John vanished from the room. "Why Max, what happened," asked Bradley. "Well it was a very long time ago, when Connie was teaching some of the younger cubs in her pride to use their will to make water flow into a vase. But instead of water flowing into the vase, she made it rain on John and at the time he was in a meeting with about 50 of the magical & were world leaders and it caused a few problems until he was able to reverse the spell." Everyone in the room started laughing. Shortly after John returned and was just about to outline some plans when Kay called him in his head. Dad, I don't know how I know this, but I just had a feeling that a traitor has just arrived in the compound. Me and mom are outside at the moment and as we're practising my fire element and I suddenly got this funny feeling. John thought to Connie, Have you got this strange feeling as well honey. Yes darling, and I was just about to tell you when our daughter did. Stay where you are and keep watch, we are all on our way. There are a number of people in the compound. We cannot be sure exactly who it is. Ok just wait there and don't panic act normal. Kay, you don't do anything until we get there, John thought at her. No dad I won't, but hurry up. To the room he said, "Sorry about that, but we have a problem in the compound." "What's up?" Bradley asked. "Connie and Kay have just had the same feeling and I'm inclined to believe them; Connie can usually spot a traitor miles away. There are a lot of people in the compound at the moment, most of whom have just arrived. I'm assuming there are the extra guards from neighbouring packs?" A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 10 Bradley nodded, "Yes they should have all arrived by now." "Well we better get outside as Connie and Kay are really worked up about this. Somewhere amongst them there is a traitor." Everyone got up and was heading for the door. Then Jason spoke up. "Bradley, how about we get them to come to the hall to be allocated patrols, and we can do it pack by pack." MMMMMMMMM , he thought for a while, that's a good idea and we can get Connie and Kay in there to check through them. Bradley went out into the compound and spoke to the warriors and guards standing out there. "If you would all like to come to the hall one group at a time and we will allocate your patrolling areas and where you will be staying for the next few weeks." He then went over to his mate and her mom and took them back in the mansion to the hall. ------------------------------------------------ Inside the Hall: The council were already there and waiting for the process of elimination to start. They wanted to know who it was that had the nerve to come here and try to take information or whatever out. The packs started to come in one by one and Travis and Sarah were assigning them their duties and accommodation. There were only a few groups left to come in and then Kay got this cold feeling He is somewhere in this group, Kay thought to Bradley. There was about 25 people in the hall from a pack near London. They were Browning's Pack, run by Alpha Frederick Browning. Bradley was gob smacked; he had been friends with Fred for years. He came over to Kay, grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the table which was in the middle of the hall. Kay's skin was crawling and a chill was running up and down her spine; the hairs on the back of her neck were standing on end. She knew the traitor was near by and she turned round looking at everyone in the hall one at a time. Bradley was walking amongst the wolves standing by the table. He thought to Travis and Sarah. Don't act differently but one of these wolves is a traitor Kay can sense it. My alpha, which one?, answered Travis. I'm just waiting for Kay to point him out to me. When she does we will grab him, his loyal Betas responded. Travis just carried on with what he was doing so none of the men before him got suspicious. Kay walked up to a large man standing slightly to the side of the group. He was acting nervous and if she wasn't mistaken he was sweating very much. Bradley, that's him there. He's acting way too strange. The strange man had just reached the table when all hell broke loose. Bradley thought to his Beta's who were outside in the hall to come and contain the man now standing at the table. They charged in and knocked him to the floor. The others thought they were getting attacked and started to fight back. Kay watched as everything went to pieces around her, her heart fluttering. She saw all her friends begin to enter what was starting to look like a battle, so serious was the fighting. Kay snapped. Freeze, she thought frantically. Next thing everyone just stopped in what they were doing almost as if they were frozen. Kay was speechless as she realised she had just done it. Oh God, what have I done now. She thought. I can move but everyone else seems to be frozen in place. How am I going to reverse this? Kay was starting to panic, her mom, dad, Bradley, Travis, Sarah, the Beta's and the warriors and the magical council & Browning's Pack were all frozen like they were statues. It looked really weird. Then Kay had an idea; Henry isn't here. Maybe he could help me. Just then Henry walked into the room and stood still, gaping. "Uncle Henry! I don't know what I did but as you can see everyone is frozen! how can I change them back to normal?" "Oh no, explain to me what was happening at the time." "Well, I had just spotted the traitor, and I told Bradley. He got the Beta's to come and grab him and then everyone started fighting together at the same time. And then I moved my hand towards him as someone was going to attack me and thought freeze, but instead of stopping just him, I seemed to have frozen everyone." Travis and Eric had the large man- the traitor- on the floor and were in the process of tying his wrists while Bradley was tying a cable clip around his ankles. But they were all frozen mid motion. And the rest of the Beta's were frozen in process of fighting the warriors of Browning's pack, as they thought we had attacked them. Poor Sarah was suspended in mid air, in the process of leaping on someone. The council were suspended, leaning against the wall and some were in the middle of talking by the looks of it as their mouths were hanging open. It did look a funny scene, but it was serious as Kay had no idea how it happened, nor of how to fix it. "Ok," said Henry, "Were you scared before you thought the word freeze?" "Yes, very," replied Kay, shuddering. "Well it looks like you thought the word to the whole room, instead of to a single person. Kay, what you have to remember is you are very powerful and when exercising your powers you have to think exactly what you want done. If you don't, then this is going to happen more often." "How do we unfreeze them, though?" asked Kay, panicking a bit. "Well it's simple: you just hold your hand down and think go, and they should all start moving again. But before you do lets get some help in here and get this guy tied up properly, so then you can explain to everyone what happened. I'm assuming they are still awake, not put to sleep." Kay went to her mom as she was the closest and looked at her. Connie's eyes were moving but she was otherwise a statue. It looked weird, but she looked awake. Henry went out the room and got the Royal Guards who came in and separated the men from the large man on the floor. They managed to drag him away from everyone to the back of the room. "Right," said Henry, "remember what I said and try reversing the spell. If you are worried, reverse the magical council first to see whether it works." Kay went over to the magical council and put her hand facing down in front of them and thought the word go move now and waited. Everyone started talking at once. "Wow," said Max, "you did that and you haven't even been trained yet? Oh my god, you are going to be one very exceptional person when you know what you are doing! Not many will stand a chance with you around." All the magical council seemed to be OK so Kay turned around and did the same thing to everyone else. Matthew had got himself under Sarah to catch her so she wouldn't hit the floor when she was unfrozen. She was a bit shocked, but thanked him for catching her. Kay walked over to Bradley and everyone and explained what had happened and apologised for freezing them. Bradley faced the room and started talking. "Right; everyone, let me explain what occurred here before we all started fighting again. Kay and her mom Connie felt a strange presence come into the compound when they were outside. Both Kay and her mom have the ability to spot traitors and liars amongst people and Kay picked out that man there as being a traitor." "Who is he anyway?" he asked the Browning pack. "That is Zack Parsons, and he has been acting strange for weeks now," replied the man who was nearest Bradley. "I'm Ian Browning, Fred is my father and he is going to be fuming when we tell him what has happened." "You better phone him and get him here soon. I am sure he would want to be here to see what he," he gestured to the prisoner, "has to say. Take the prisoner to the holding cells downstairs, Travis." Travis and Eric frogged marched Parsons downstairs and shackled him in the holding cell in the basement. Sarah assigned the rest of the men to security duties and allocated everyone else rooms. ----------------------------------------------- Bradley went to Kay and wrapped his arms around her. She was still shaking a bit and Bradley knew she needed him right now. I feel terrible Bradley, I have this power and cannot seem to control it. I'm doing everything wrong and I'm so frustrated, she thought to him. I know honey but, it is only your first day and you have not done too badly by all accounts. I just feel so stupid at the moment, Brad. Oh honey you're not stupid, stop being silly. Kay must have had a sad expression on her face, because just then her mom come over and also wrapped her arms around Kay. "Honey what has you so sad?" she asked. "Oh mom, nothing is going right. I have all this power and I can't seem to control it at all." "Kay, I know how you feel it was just the same for me when I first started using mine. I remember flooding my mom's bathroom once because I was trying to fill the bath with hot water, instead of just turning on the tap. My power got away from me and my father then said to me it takes a while to learn how to use your powers." "How long will it take until I know what I'm doing?" "We'll give it two more days and you should feel a lot easier with it. The more you use them the better it will be." "Let's go and have some lunch," suggested Bradley, "and we can have a chat afterwards." "Bradley, can I have a word with you," asked Connie. Bradley stopped and Kay continued on to the dining room with her dad. "I think it is the right time now to give Kay that package I left in your safe. She needs to know exactly who she is; that way we can protect her more." "Paul told me she is a Princess, and I know you are concerned about her, but do you think now is the right time to spring this on her?" "Bradley she has to know before her first shift. The magical council have to do a ritual on that evening of her first shift and must use her title in the fullest for the protection to take effect and you being her mate will be included in that ritual." "What do you mean?" he asked. "Well the ritual is similar to your mating ceremony in a way, but without the sex. You will be recognised as her mate. You will receive your title as well that night." "Ti-...Hang on, what title?" Bradley replied, surprised at the thought. "Well you are mated to a Princess who one day will take over my title as Queen. You will be her Prince. It comes with a magical protection spell as well." Bradley was feeling a bit overwhelmed; he had no idea what this ritual entailed. He just knew that he would go with the flow because there was no way he wasn't having Kay as his mate. She was his other half he had been searching for her for a very long time. "Alright I will except what ever you do at your ritual as I know Kay is the one for me." -------------------------------------------- Meanwhile in Lazlo's office: "Did you manage to get in touch with Ryan Crow yet?" "Yes Sir, he is waiting in the outer office." "Then what are you waiting for, show him in," he shouted. "Yes sir." Brownlow got up and went to fetch Ryan Crow. "Ah, Ryan good of you to come at such short notice," Lazlo smiled, a touch of his charm entering his voice. That not faded when he regarded Brownlow again. "Brownlow, fetch us two whiskeys. Hold my calls." Brownlow went out and fetched the whisky, closing the door behind him. "Well Lazlo, what has you so fired up that I had to cut my vacation short?" asked Ryan, drawling slightly. "You remember the fire tiger pack we tried to get hold of some years ago?" "Yes, didn't you have an... altercation with the queen, resulting in her unfortunate demise?" "It seems she wasn't killed- or at least, not immediately- and now her daughter has grown up and come into some very interesting powers." Lazlo's eyes began to glint, the light from the fire causing them to glow, as he whispered, "I want to use her, and her powers, for my own ends." He stared straight at Ryan before straightening and continuing. "It seems she is now involved in a Wolf pack in Surrey and they have some magical wards in place so I cannot penetrate them." "I want you to go down to Surrey, break through their wards and capture Kay the fire tiger and her brother Paul." "What makes you believe that my people and I can succeed where you have failed." "I cant fly. You can all fly and can breech the wards from the air; with any luck, they would have been too stupid to protect the sky, and there wont be wards at all. We have an insider who can help you get in if the wards should prove to stern for you. Maybe he can even secure Kay for you, hmmm?" "Hang on you want us to take on one of the largest packs in England?" "Not only do I want you to attack one of the biggest packs in England, but I need you to do it soon; before she mates with Bradley Black." Ryan was silent for a while. "What is in it for me." "I will give you One Million Pounds. Half now and the rest when the job is done." "OK you have a deal, Lazlo- but heaven help you if I fail." "Good. And no, Ryan," Lazlo's voice sunk lower, "Heaven help you, if you fail me." There was silence in the room as the two men shared a stare. Ryan looked away first. "When?" Lazlo abruptly asked. "A day, possibly two," Ryan drained his glass and left. Lazlo sat in his chair chuckling to himself, Very soon, my fire tiger. Soon! -------------------------------------------------- Back at The Black Wolf Pack. Kay had finished her lunch and was chatting with her dad and Jason when Connie and Bradley showed up. "Where have you two been," asked Kay. "I had to get this package from Bradley's safe," replied Connie. Bradley sat next to Kay and gave her a kiss. George came over bringing food for Bradley and Connie and then disappeared again. Kay was curious about the large envelope her mom had just put on the table while she was eating her lunch. "Mom, what's in the package?" "It is a surprise and when I've eaten my lunch, we'll go to Bradley's office and open it." Kay was very curious about the package, and couldn't wait until her mom had finished and tried to snatch the envelope away from her. John caught on to what was happening and rescued the envelope before Kay got to it. "Kay, will you wait a bit; it won't go away." "Oh dad, I just want to know what's in it." "All in good time, my dear," he replied. Kay sat there pouting and Bradley drew her onto his lap, kissing her to distract her for a bit. Kay was feeling horny, sitting on Bradley's lap and was starting to get wet again. She didn't seem to be able to be near him lately without getting really horny and wet and boy did he smell good to her. The smell reminded her of old spice and fresh air. It was lovely. Bradley could smell Kay's arousal. Oh boy, this is not good; we cannot make love now. Or at least, not here, he thought. He thought to Kay, When we have been to the office, we can go back to our room and make love. Do you think you can hold out till then, my darling? Yes I think so but, I love you very much and want you right now. Bradley looked at Connie; she was half way through her lunch and was chatting to her husband and Maximilian. "We are going to wait in my office as I have a phone call to make he told them when you have finished come and join us." He got up and put Kay on her feet and led her to his office. No one was in there. When he closed the door, he locked it to keep from being interrupted. He took Kay in his arms and starting kissing her slowly at first and gradually building it up till they were devouring each other. Kay was running her fingers through Bradley's hair and Bradley was squeezing Kay's arse and running his hands all over her back and top of her legs. Kay lifted up Bradley's shirt and ran her hands over his chest, pinching his nipples. She got his shirt off over his head and bit his nipples, sucking on them. Bradley moaned and took Kay's top off and pulled up her bra and played with her tits biting and pulling and pinching them hard. Kay slid her hand into Bradley's trousers and squeezed his very hard cock, making Bradley moan. Bradley couldn't take anymore; he grabbed Kay and pulled her jeans and underwear down before pushing his down as well. He bent Kay over his desk and entered her in one deep thrust from behind. He started fucking her hard and fast, thrusting deeper and harder into her sopping wet pussy, Kay moaning and gripping the desk underneath her. She could feel herself getting ready to cum and she thought to Bradley, I'm going to come honey. Bradley knew Kay was close and he also knew they didn't have a lot of time. He took his cock slowly out and then thrust back in hard and deep. He did this three times more and Kay exploded all over his cock, squeezing him with her pussy muscles, sending him over the top and spilling his seed deep into Kay's pussy. He rested there, on Kay's back, for a moment and then got off her, handing her some tissues to clean herself up. He wiped his cock and then got dressed, Kay putting her clothes back on and they hugged and kissed again. "That will have to hold us till later," said Bradley, chuckling. Bradley opened the window to let some air in as the office smelt like sex. He unlocked the door and then sat down. A few minutes later John and Connie knocked on the door. "Enter," said Bradley. Connie smiled she knew what they had been doing just by looking at Kay's eyes as they were still hazy. She said nothing as she didn't want to embarrass her daughter. They came in and sat down. Connie put the large envelope on the table in front of Kay. "This is your inheritance from my father, your grandfather. He wanted me to give it to you on your 21st birthday. Also in this envelope is proof that John and I are your parents and that we are King and Queen of the last remaining Fire Tiger Pride which makes you a Princess." Kay was gob smacked; it had never occurred to her that she was a Princess, even though she had been told her mom was a Queen and had her Royal guards with her. She picked up the envelope and using Bradley's letter opener, which had a carved wolf head on the handle, she opened it and withdrew the contents. There were 3 separate envelopes in there, all addressed to Princess Kay. The biggest contained a lot of documents about her birth right and where her mom's Pride originated from, alongside other legal documents about the Fire Tiger Pride. In the second one was her original birth certificate and details of a trust fund which she could now claim and other things that were secure in the families bank vault, in HSBC bank in central London. In the third one was the last will and testament of King Albert Potter of the Fire Tiger Pride. She read it to herself, gasping for breath more than once until she got to the bottom of the will. There is no way this is right she thought how can I have inherited this much money off my grandfather, she thought wildly. The figure was astonishing; her grandfather had left her two million pounds and because he had died over 50yrs ago the figure had grown. There was another slip of paper telling her the true value of her inheritance was close to Sixteen Million Pounds. Kay started feeling really hot and weird; she collapsed, clutching the will to her chest. Bradley immediately jumped up and picked up Kay, carrying her to the couch in the anti-room next to the office. He thought to Nathan, Nathan, come to my office immediately please. Kay has collapsed. Yes, my Alpha. I'm on my way, see you in a bit. Bradley carefully removed the will from Kay's hand and put it on the table. He held her hand, patting it to try to wake her up. All of a sudden Kay started to shake rather badly. Her skin started to glow red and she was getting hotter. "Oh my god," exclaimed Connie. "She hasn't fainted, she is having her first vision and by the look of it, it's is a bad one." A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 10 Kay was now screaming and glowing bright red. Bradley spoke in his mind to Jason. Jason where are you? I'm in the main common room chatting to some of the new security team. Why, what's up? Answered Jason. Quickly, run and fetch Isobel and bring her to my office, something is happening to Kay. Bradley explained. Ok, I'm on my way, be there soon. Jason replied. Jason ran down the stairs and straight to the magic room and found Jessica and Charlotte first. Jason thought, yummy look at that great arse of Jessica's, then he thought, stop that I haven't got time now. Jessica spotted him. "Hi, Jason, what can we do for you?" "Have you seen Isobel?" he asked. "Yeah, she's in the back, getting something from the cupboard." Jason dashed to the back cupboard and saw Isobel bending over a great big box. "Isobel, you have got to come straight to Bradley's office; something is happening with Kay." They both left and ran straight to the office. Jessica watched Jason leaving, thinking God, I want to get my hands on him soon, especially his tight arse which is outlined nicely in those black Jeans. Jessica sighed and went back to what she was doing. ------------------------------------------------ Kay was just whimpering now and thrashing about, as Bradley kept trying to calm her down. Every time he tried to touch her skin, he realised it was far too hot and it was getting worse. Isobel went over to Connie and asked her how it started. Connie explained about they had just told Kay she was a Princess and had shown her the proof and the large amount of inheritance her grandfather had left her and then she passed out. "Isobel at first we all thought she fainted, but I think she is having her first vision. At this point, Kay's skin was glowing bright red and she thrashing around." Isobel held out her hand just above Kay's forehead and started chanting some very strange words. Kay was panting, like she was running really hard. The glowing was getting brighter and brighter now and Isobel's chanting was growing more intense and loud. All of a sudden Kay sat up screamed so loud that the windows shattered and then she collapsed back on the couch. Kay opened her eyes and just looked at Bradley. Tears were streaming down her face and then she grabbed onto him. "We need to call a meeting now," Kay managed to whisper to him before she passed out again, this time with her head on Bradley's shoulder. "Jason gather all the papers including the will and put them in the safe," asked Bradley, he then picked up Kay, carrying her to the Library come sitting room and placed her on the leather couch in front of the fire and everyone followed him in. Isobel went and got the blue paste and started rubbing it onto Kay's arms, as there were a few blister's forming from when she was glowing. Brad, Kay thought to him, we are in grave danger. If what I have just seen really does happen then we must prepare for a horrid battle. It will be OK, we can prepare for it now, thanks to you. Kay opened her eyes and hugged Bradley. Sitting up, she made sure his arms were wrapped around her tightly, her own hugging him hard right back. Connie and John were at her side in moments. "Kay, honey, can you tell us what you saw?" asked John. "Oh god dad, it was terrible there is going to be a battle soon as Lazlo and his men are coming for me and Paul." "How and when," asked Connie? "First tell me what are Crow Warriors." Connie looked at John and John looked at Bradley shaking their heads. "We don't know," replied Bradley. "We are going to be attacked by Crow Warriors tomorrow evening. If we don't stop them they will take me and Paul straight to Lazlo." They won't get anywhere near you I promise, replied Bradley. John then started looking off into space he was talking to someone. John had an idea and went with it. Maximilian where are you. Just getting out of the shower why? He answered. Kay has just had her first vision and in it she saw a flock of crow warriors attacking the compound, taking her and her brother as the target, explained John. Are you sure she said crow warriors? asked Maximilian, cocking his head. Yes, because she asked us all if we knew what they were. Where are you at the moment? Asked Maximilian. In the big library, waiting for Kay to explain what she saw. Ok, hang tight. I will be with you in the blink of an eye; just let me get dressed. Maximilian said. Do you know what they are, then? John asked. Yes, I will explain what must be done to protect ourselves from them. They are hard to beat; depends who is leading them. Lets hope it is not Ryan Crow; he is a fierce warrior and will stop at nothing till he gets what he came for. John came back to himself, and told the others who he had been speaking to; that Maximilian knew what crow warriors were, and was on his way downstairs. "I think we had better call a full meeting afterwards," Bradley said. "Yes," said Jason. "Everyone must know what is going to happen, so we can protect ourselves. We better hold it in the large theatre by the gym and have everyone proceed there. You had better include all the extra guards and have the security room and the medical centre linked to the main room." Jason rang the siren, signalling a red alert and everyone burst down the stairs at the same time. "Jason, can we contact the surrounding packs and prides and inform them we are holding a special meeting, and set up the conference phones and video screens so they know what is going on too?" asked Bradley. "Yeah I'll go and do it now, it shouldn't take longer than ten minutes to sort out." replied Jason. Bradley looked at Kay. "Are you sure about doing this, in front of the whole pack and all the surrounding packs and prides." "Yeah, honey; they have to know what is going to happen. We have to stop what I saw. I do not want to lose you." Kay was a little bit scared thinking about what she had to tell the pack, but knew it had to be done- and quick. ------------------------------------------------- The Meeting of the Alpha's. Bradley and Kay walked to the Theatre, where there was a large conference room and a bank of television screens, each with the Alphas of the surrounding packs and prides on them. The magical council was also in the room with a link to the main council chambers. Harold was on the phone, contacting the other representatives of the other races in the surrounding area and now had links set up for the Vampires, Elves, Trolls, Witches, Wizards, fairies and the other magical communities. Isobel had been in touch with a friend of hers and now had a video link to the Angelic world. Not many people knew Angels and their community; it was said to be a very secretive society, but, for some unknown reason, Isobel had a few connections there. Everyone was chatting amongst themselves, wondering what was happening. Bradley and Kay sat down and immediately the room went silent. Bradley stood up and addressed the room. "Ladies and Gentlemen many of you know my reputation and my no nonsense rules. What we have to tell you will effect all of you if we do not stand and fight against the coming menace. Let me introduce to you all my mate Kay and her family." Bradley signalled Kay to stand joined by her mom and dad, Paul and Uncle Henry. "Kay and her family are all Ancients and, for those of you who don't know what ancients are... well, I think I will let them explain themselves, but let us just say they are... complicated. Queen Connie and King John, to give them their full titles, are from a very rare pack of fire tigers and are special in their own right, as they are the last remaining pride of pure white tigers." Just had they said this an Alpha from Essex shouted out, "Impossible! They are all extinct!" Bradley levelled his eyes on the Alpha. "Are you calling me a liar, Benson?" "It has been known for years that the last fire tiger pride was wiped out by the underworld." Benson stated. Bradley thought to Kay. Do you think your mom would change, just to prove that you are what you say you are? Kay relayed the thought to her mom. That's what I just asked your dad. Connie stood up and removed her clothes. She stood in the middle of the floor and started glowing red; all of a sudden, instead of Connie, in her place was one very large, pure white Tiger with bright blue eyes. Connie growled at the Alpha who didn't believe her and her family existed. Benson was gob-smacked as he stared at her. Benson thought, Oh, god! Me and my big mouth- but gosh, she is beautiful. Benson bowed on his screen to Connie and apologised. John was smiling. She is beautiful; and all mine. Connie changed back and dressed again and sat down. It was the first time that most of them had even seen a pure white tiger. Many thought it was just a myth or a legend. Alexander, Alpha of the Kensington Pack, spoke up next. "Please excuse me, but are all of your family white tigers?" Connie replied, "No, only my daughter and I are pure white tigers. My husband John, Paul and Henry are the traditional black and white tigers. The royal guards are a mixture of Black, White, and Bengal Tigers; we have a few Panthers and Lions we have adopted over the years as well. But Kay and I are the last remaining pure fire tigers. We have great power as well; not only are we Ancients but we are also Sorcerers as well. My main power comes from Fire; John's main source of strength is air and water, and Henry and Paul are both a combination of water, air and earth. So, as you see, between us we are quite powerful." Connie sat down and John stood up. "Everyone, as you have heard my name is John and I want to explain to you why we have called this meeting. Kay, my daughter, has just had a vision of a coming battle which will take place tomorrow night. We must stop it at all costs. If Lazlo gets his hands on Kay then he will use her and her powers to start a war not only between us and the other races, but with the humans as well." John sat down and Kay stood up. She seemed to just stare in place but her skin was glowing a bit. Connie stood up. "Hang on everyone! Kay is having another vision." Kay was watching a young girl walk down several staircases. She was carrying a gun with a silencer on it. The girl continued walking, and she casually raised the gun and pointed the barrel at the two guards at the bottom of the stairs. She proceeded, walking along a corridor as normal as she pleased. Kay realised at that point that this was not the future; this is happening now. The girl was heading to the holding cells in the basement. All of a sudden Kay opened her eyes and sat down. She turned to Bradley and asked, "Who have you got in the holding cells?" "Parsons is in there, waiting for judgement from his Alpha. Why?" He answered. "Someone is down there now trying to get him out. She has a gun and has already shot two guards." She explained, her voice urgent. Bradley rushed out followed by his beta's and Kay went with him. Kay thought to Bradley, Stop! I can get you there much faster than running. How? he replied. Bradley, have everyone stop and link hands, standing in a circle. "Hold it everyone; there's a faster way to get there. Stand in a circle and link hands." Bradley told them and although hesitant they did as they were told. By this stage Kay was slightly glowing and thought about where they should be, all of a sudden they were there outside the holding cells. ------------------------------------------------- In the Holding Cells Travis checked the two men that had been shot; both were alive but badly needed treatment if they were to heal properly. Werewolves could take a lot but when shot in the chest close to the heart it created a few problems. Eric and Riley took the injured men to the medical centre straight away. Bradley looked down the corridor and could see a female, trying to get Parsons out of his cell with a crow bar. Kay do you think you can freeze her like you did the guards in the hall earlier? I can try. Hold on. Kay closed her eyes put her hand out towards the girl and thought freeze while looking at the female. When she opened her eyes everyone was fine and they then entered the cell block. The female was in shock and when Bradley went up to check who it was he was gob-smacked; it was Eric Shuttleworths daughter, Crystal. Bradley thought to Shuttleworth. You had better get down to the holding cells. Shuttleworth replied, I'm on my way Alpha. On his way to the holding cells, Shuttleworth was trying to figure out where he had gone wrong as a parent; why his daughter would do such a thing to the pack. He knew he was having problems accepting some of the changes of late, but he had come to like Kay and her family and now saw them as pack; as family. When he got there he saw his daughter frozen outside Parson's cell with a crowbar in her hand. Crystal took one look at her father and tears started sliding down her cheeks. Eric Shuttleworth was very angry with his daughter. He turned on her. "Why did you do this to us? To me? Why help these bastards that are trying to attack our pack and kidnap our Alpha's mate?" Kay looked at Crystal; she had tears streaming down her cheeks. Kay removed the crowbar and handcuffed Crystal and then removed the freezing spell. Crystal started sobbing and went to hug her father. He backed away and wouldn't let her hug him. "From now on you are not my daughter and I want nothing to do with you." said Eric angrily. Crystal sobbed, "Father please! I had to help him he is my mate and I had to rescue him!" "That is no excuse to betray our pack and almost kill two guards." Eric replied, his voice cracking. "Since your mother died two years ago, I have tried to be a good father to you. This is how you re-pay me and the pack? Like I said before, what you mean to me is nothing next to this betrayal, and whatever punishment Bradley and the Elders decide you are to have I will stand by them. I will have your things packed, and put in storage until that time. Goodbye Crystal. Enjoy your new life; whatever that may be." With that said he bowed to Kay and Bradley and left the holding cells. He didn't look back. Bradley could not believe it was Crystal; he had given her a position in the main offices in town to help her get a better life and this is how she had repaid him. Riley took hold of Crystal and dragged her, still crying and screaming, into the cell next to Parsons until after the meeting when Bradley would decide what was to happen to both of them. Bradley took Kay's hand, and led her out of the holding cells followed by his Beta's back to the meeting hall. -------------------------------------------------- As soon as they entered the meeting Hall everyone fell silent. Bradley could see Eric Shuttleworth standing next to his friend, Matthew Ramsbottom and they were quietly talking to each other. Bradley stood up and apologised for leaving the meeting hall and explained what had happened down in the holding cells. All of Bradley's pack were angry by Crystal's actions. Bradley addressed everyone. "Ladies and Gentlemen lets get back down to business. When Kay had her vision earlier, she saw this compound being attacked by Crow Warriors and Max here is going to explain exactly what they are. Bradley sat down and Max stood up. "A Crow Warrior is a person who can shift into a Crow. They are very big and black like normal crows but ten times as big. They also have the ability to fly and are very strong and fast. They are trained to be very fierce, they wear armour which is bullet proof. Their claws are razor sharp. In short, they are very lethal. They can be killed, but only by a bullet straight to their brain or by ripping their throats out, if you can get near enough." "Can they be beaten," asked Jason. "Yes, but not many have been successful." Kay had been listening to what Max had said and started wondering about her powers. She had a thought and wondered whether she could mix the elements of her powers together. Well it cannot hurt to try, she thought. Harold spoke up just then. "We have wards up for around the compound and Mansion, but is it possible to build an air barrier around the whole compound?" he asked the magical council. Irene spoke; she was the head Witch on the Witches council. "It is possible, and does require a fair bit of magical power to do, but it can be done." "Well, then," Harold continued. "I may have an idea." Kay was listening to what everyone was saying, but she wanted to go out and test her theory. John was wondering something himself, as well. He knew that Kay could freeze people in close contact with her but could she freeze them from a distance. If she could, he was wondering whether she could freeze them in the air. Bradley called for silence. "Everyone, get prepared for this battle. Have the armoury issue the weapons out; everyone must carry a fire arm or be with someone who has a fire arm, if you don't know how to use one. Alphas and Leaders of the surrounding Packs, Prides, nests, covens, can you send us as many guards and warriors as you can spare?" Bradley turned, and faced Nigel. "Nigel, your hotel is nearest to us. Can we move the children there for protection?" asked Bradley. "Yes," said Nigel. "and I will have my Beta's and some guards protect them. Jessica, Charlotte and Isobel have already been there, putting the wards in place and making it safe." "I think you should take Isobel, Bettie and Penelope with you," replied John. "Between them, they should be able to maintain the wards." "I call this meeting to a close and ask that we prepare ourselves, keep the video links on in case we have any new information for you all." The other Alphas and the heads of councils signed off. "Right everyone. Let's start moving the children to the White Cat Hotel," said Bradley. "Everyone under the age of eighteen must pack only one suitcase, containing clothing and activities to do. All guards to your posts. Security teams, check all camera's and remember, we now need them trained at the sky as well, in order to fend off an aerial attack." Everyone started leaving the hall. Bradley was still sitting down looking at Kay she seemed to be starring into space again. Bradley took her hand. "Honey, are you alright?" he asked. "I'm fine," Kay replied. "I was just thinking about combining elements of my power and defeating the enemy that way." Bradley took her in his arms and said, "I would rather you go to the Hotel with children; I don't want you here, getting hurt." "No Bradley, please let me stay! Don't send me away, I can help!" "We will talk about this later; I don't want you wandering around by yourself until this attack is over. Pick four guards you want; they will become your personal body guards." Kay thought about it and then had an idea; it would help them as much as it would help her and ease Bradley's mind. She wondered whether Bradley would agree. "Well Brad, I was wondering whether I could have Travis's boys as my guards. You see the other day when I was talking to Zippy he told me that his brothers and him were getting teased by some of the other boys in the pack because of their names." Mmmmmm, thought Bradley. They are all of the right age, with Jeffrey and George being 22yrs old and Zippy and Bungle being 21yrs the same as age as Kay, it would help her feel better to have people around her the same age. It might help the boys build their self confidence as well. "Yes, I agree with you honey. You can have them as your guards. They are all good fighters and need a bit of responsibility and this should be perfect." A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 11 Hi Everyone, I'm sorry this chapter has took a long time to be written and posted but, I have not been well and ended up in hospital for a few weeks and then another week stuck in bed at home.

Please leave me feedback and any comments about this chapter. As they are always welcome. Have fun reading. From Kay. --------------------------------------- CHAPTER 11. The Battle and The new Moon Ceremony. It was very early the next morning when Kay woke up. Bradley was still asleep, his hair strewn across the pillows. She was feeling very weird; she could actually feel it; her Tiger in her mind, and knew she was getting ready to come forth tonight. Kay tried to get back to sleep considering it was only 5am but it was no use; she couldn't stay in bed any longer. Kay got up and went and had a quick shower. She decided not to wake her mate, as he was sleeping so soundly; she smiled, looking back at him, tangled in the sheets. "she reddened, remembering the night before, and the way they were with each other." She left him a note on her pillow telling him to come to the kitchen as this where she was heading. Kay decided she would start on the order she had in her email; 24 chocolate fudge cakes, and, considering that breakfast wasn't prepared until 7am, she decided she had enough time to get Ma Baker's order done; Ma Baker owned a Bakery in the high street in Epsom, which was only 20 miles away, and she could get one of Bradley's Beta's to deliver them for her. With this in mind, she went downstairs quietly and tiptoed past Charlie's door, on the first floor landing. She didn't want to wake him yet; she knew today was going to be hectic. Kay went into the Kitchen made herself a coffee and got a bowl of cornflakes and cold milk. Once she had eaten, sitting at the kitchen table, she put on an apron and got everything that she would need, for the order. Kay had a thought; Damn, I need the boxes from my cottage. There was a phone in the kitchen, so she picked it up and dialled Travis' extension number. "Hi Travis, sorry if I woke you, but could I possibly have Zippy and Bungle now for just a while." Travis checked the bedside clock; it was only 5.30am. What on earth was his new Alpha Female doing at this time in the morning, he thought. Samantha stirred beside him. "Who is on the phone this early in the morning?" "It's Princess Kay; she wants Zippy and Bungle now." "Well you had better wake them, and I will tell her they will be there soon." Samantha said, sitting up and touching his shoulder, as he moved to get out of bed. Travis grumbled, as he got out of bed and headed to his son's room, and woke them up. Samantha meanwhile was chatting to Kay on the phone. "Hi Princess Kay," she said, "what're you doing at this time in the morning." "I know it's early, and I'm sorry to wake everyone up, but I have an order to complete for the bakery in the high street, and I need to go to my cottage and get a few things, so I need my guards with me." "Oh", said Samantha. "But why this early?" "Well, I'm feeling very nervous about today, and couldn't sleep so I decided to get up and bake; It's what I used to do at home when I couldn't sleep." "Do you want all the boys then? Didn't Bradley say you had to have them all with you when you were outside?" "Oh god- I forgot all about that? Would you mind sending all of them to me then, I'm in the kitchen. Tell them to wear just jeans and T-shirts, not the uniforms, on the off chance someone is watching my house." "Ok; they will be with you in a while, give them some time to get dressed," said Samantha. "Thanks very much, and I'm sorry I woke you so early," Kay said, her voice crackling over the line. "Don't worry your highness, that's fine." "You know, don't you think when it is just us that you could call me Kay, and not your highness, madam, or Princess? I would feel a lot better." "Oh, no; I can't do that! It would be disrespectful; not only are you my Alpha female but you are a princess. I have to respect that." Kay thought for a moment, trying to find a compromise. "Ok, then how's this; when we are in front of the pack, you use my title, but when it's just us, call me Kay and I will call you Sam. Is that ok?" Sam thought about it for a while. "Alright, I'll agree to that, Kay." "That's great," Kay said, her smile echoing through her voice. "Thanks, I would love having you as a friend, and friends don't need to use titles. Please, send the boys to me soon, and I will get them some breakfast here." "Ok, bye for now." "Bye," Kay said, and put the phone down. Kay put the phone down and started thinking on how she was going to get to her house. They could use the big bullet proof SUV that Bradley had recently bought, but that would draw attention to them. I wonder how far I can teleport, Kay thought. She decided to teleport from here to her kitchen, as it would probably be the safest way to just try it out; so if the compound was being watched like Jason thought, then no-one would know that she had left the compound. While Kay waited for her guards, she went about making them some pancake flats, knowing that this was their usual breakfast every morning. The brothers arrived in the kitchen, dressed in jeans and shirts, with jackets over the top to hide the fact they were all wearing shoulder holsters underneath them. "Zippy sniffed, as they neared the kitchen, before sighing happily; pancake flats." "Mmmmmmmmmmm," he said. "Smells Divine! What kind did you make." In the middle of the table sat four different plates of pancake flats. "I made Blueberry, Chocolate, Sultana and Plain; here is the Maple syrup," replied Kay. "How did you know what was our favourites?" Bungle asked. "I've been watching what you like for breakfast and made a mental note for future reference," Kay replied. Soon all that could be heard were a lot of "Mmmmmm"s and "Arrrrrrrrrrrr"s as the brother's all eat their pancakes. When they had finished Kay explained where they were going and how they were getting there. She told them all to link hands and hold tight. Kay began to glow and closed her eyes. In her mind, she pictured her kitchen at home. The boys felt like they were being squashed, and then the kitchen in the compound faded. When they looked again, they could see Kay's kitchen and when Kay opened her eyes she was home. "That was a very odd sensation," said George. "Is it always like that, teleporting from one place to another?" asked Jeffery. "No; the more times you do it, the less you feel it," Kay replied. "We cannot stay here long, otherwise Bradley will wake up and worry." "I just need some supplies and my address book; I left them behind when I was here last time." The boys looked around the kitchen, while the waited. It was just as big, if not bigger, than the one at the compound, but this one had a lot more equipment in it. Kay had collected her boxes and baking tins and colours from the cabinet in the corner, and she also grabbed her design book; she hadn't forgotten she had to make the anniversary cake for the White Cat Hotel in a weeks time. She put them all into 3 boxes and the boys held on to them for her. "Ready to go back, boys?" she asked. They held hands and teleported back to the compound. It was still only 6.15am, and a lot of the pack were still sleeping. They had only been away 15 minutes. "God! I wish I could travel that way all the time," said George. "It would make live very easy." "It would, but I still like to use my legs most of the time," Kay replied. "I don't think I could travel that way much," said Bungle. "It felt like someone was trying to squash my body up." Zippy and Bungle stayed with Kay, while George and Jeffery went to dining hall to see if anyone else was awake, while Kay started making up the mixture for the chocolate fudge cakes. Soon she had the boys greasing tins; once they had finished, she put the mixture in the tins and put them in the ovens. There were 4 ovens in the kitchen, with all the hungry pack to feed; they needed them all. There was a lovely aroma coming from the kitchen. Now, wolves have an acute sense of smell and many of the people in the mansion were now waking up to a very pleasant, sweet smell, wafting up the stairs from the kitchen. Charlie came in, just as Kay was finishing putting the last of the ordered cakes into the oven. "What on earth is happening in my kitchen, Princess?" he asked. "Sorry Charlie, but I got an order from the Bakery in the high street in Epsom, and she wants 24 of my chocolate fudge cakes." "Well, I hope you make a few extra for the rest of us; otherwise we will have a strike on our hands. Last time you baked these chocolate fudge cakes I ended up hiding one, or I would have never have had one for myself," replied Charlie, chuckling. Kay set to work making some more for everyone else, while the boys got the ones that had baked out of the oven. There were cakes everywhere by the time they had finished. Just then, Bradley walked in and went straight to Kay and hugged her. "Do you know everyone can smell this wonderful smell, and half the pack have their tongues hanging out? Even our visitors are whining for cake." "I'm sorry honey, I just couldn't sleep, so I decided to bake and do the order for Ma Baker." "You make cakes for Ma Baker in Epsom?" asked Jason. "Yes. Why do you ask?" said Kay. "When we go for supplies, we always stop at Ma Baker's and get some cakes and pastries. It's the best place to go," answered Jason. "I've been supplying her with cakes and pastries for the last six months. Every order she sends me, she always increases it," said Kay. "Now we know who the cook is! I think she will be getting more orders," said Jason, laughing. Bradley noticed that there were some packing cases in the kitchen with cardboard cake boxes in and he went over to have a look. He picked up Kay's design book. We never bought these with us when we picked Kay up, Bradley thought. How on earth did they get here? Just then Kay noticed what Bradley was looking at. Uh....Oh....she thought. Bradley turned to Kay. How did this get here, he asked her through their bond. Hmmmmm.....Well, I took my guards with me and went and got them from my cottage. You got them from your cottage, Bradley replied angrily. Yeah, I needed them, so I teleported over there along with my guards and we got them and came straight back. Bradley was so angry, he forgot to talk through their link and he roared at Kay loudly. "YOU LEFT THE COMPOUND AND WENT TO YOUR COTTAGE TO GET THESE THINGS? HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KEEP YOU SAFE IF YOU JUST UP AND GO WHENEVER YOU PLEASE, WITHOUT TELLING ANYBODY WHERE YOU ARE?!" roared Bradley. Kay was shaking; Bradley had never been this angry with her. She couldn't understand the problem, though; she was only gone fifteen minutes. How could that have hurt? "Bradley, "we weren't gone long." . We went straight there and came back. No harm done." Bradley was trying to calm down. He knew he had upset Kay by shouting, but his wolf was close to the surface and he wanted to protect his mate. "Kay, honey, you must always tell someone where you are, at all times," he said, walking towards her. Kay knew he would be upset if he found out; she just didn't realise how upset. I'm sorry Brad, she said, through their link. I just didn't think it through. It's ok, but next time just make sure you tell someone where you are, please? "Bradley closed the distance between them, and gave Kay a hug." They were still hugging when Isobel came in. "Mmmmmmmmmmm; smells nice in here, I hope they are for the pack," Isobel said. "Some are; the rest are for Ma Baker," replied Kay. "Bradley, do you think that someone could deliver them for me, please?" asked Kay. "Sure. I'll get Frankie to deliver them when she goes out for supplies," answered Bradley. Everyone went into the dinning room to have breakfast. Nathan came over to spoke to Bradley. "My Alphas, I have Thomas and his gang in the medical Centre. It seems they tried to freeze themselves, to stop the stinging; now, they have frostbite," he said. "How did they try and freeze themselves?" Bradley asked. "They all went and stood in the big meat locker for an hour and, well..." he shrugged, his expression nonplussed. Isobel looked at the clock; it was now 8.30am, and she was due to administer the antidote at 9am. "Nathan, I have to administer the antidote to the stinging sap at 9am, so I will treat the frost bite at the same time, if you like," said Isobel. "How are they, Nathan?" asked Bradley. "By all accounts, they got no sleep last night, and after sitting in the waterfall for three hours with the stinging getting worse no matter what they tried. They decided to try the freezer, and all that has done is cause more pain so I would say they have learnt their lesson," replied Nathan. "I think after breakfast we shall go over there and see for ourselves whether they have learnt their lesson or not," said Bradley. So after breakfast Kay, Bradley, Isobel and Nathan went over to the medical centre, followed by Zippy and George. While they were walking over there, George decided to ask a burning question he had been wondering all night. "Excuse me, your highness ,"asked George. "But what effects does the stinging sap have on the body?" "Well, the stinging sap, once it comes in contact with the skin, does two things; first, it heats up the area on which it sits. The warmer the body gets, the more the stinging continues, "answered Kay. Shaking her head Isobel said, "Try this; think about what it is like to be stung with stinging nettles and then add that to being in contact with the sting all the time on your cock. Also, the more you move with the sap on, you the more painful it will become. There is no escape, until I administer the antidote," she said. "Oh my god!" said Zippy, "I'm so glad it's not me." When they got to the medical centre, there was a lot of commotion. Kay could hear Thomas screaming and crying, and he and Dean were constantly scratching their balls. The others were just screaming in agony. "PLEASE, PLEASE, MY ALPHAS! PLEASE HELP US! WE PROMISE TO BE GOOD!" shouted Thomas. "Have you learnt your lesson, Thomas," asked Bradley. "Have you all learnt that this pack will not tolerate bullying or sexual abuse in any way, shape, or form? Do you promise to behave for the rest of the time you are in this pack?" "WE PROMISE!" they all shouted. "Then, Isobel, please administer the antidote," asked Bradley. Isobel went and got a large brown jar and some rubber gloves. She handed a pair to Nathan and they put them on. She then opened the jar. It had a strong lemony smell. "Before we administer this antidote, I must inform you it has two specific side effects. One it will turn your skin yellow, which will last a week, whether you are in human form or wolf form. The second one leaves a lasting reminder on you; if ever you bully or abuse anyone in the future it will glow yellow and we will all know you have been bad. Do you agree for me to administer the antidote to you?" she asked. "YES, WE AGREE," they all said, "JUST MAKE THE PAIN STOP!" Soon they were all covered in yellow paste, and the screaming turned into whimpering, as the paste cooled down the reddened areas. Bradley and Kay started to walk out and leave them to it. They were crossing the compound to go back into the mansion when Kay suddenly stopped walking and was glowing again a bit. She was just starring into space. Bradley remembered this is what happened when Kay last had a vision, and prayed that she didn't start screaming again. Kay could see two large SUV's, heading out of the Park Avenue tunnel, with a large guy driving each. In one of them, another man was cradling a woman to him; she seemed to be in a great deal of pain and discomfort. "Where shall we take everybody?" said the large man to the man holding the girl. "Best head to The Black Wolf Pack," said the man, "as I think we will be safe there." They continued down the road and Kay came out of her trance. "What did you see?" asked Bradley. "There are two Large black SUV's coming here tomorrow afternoon packed with people seeking refuge from Lazlo," Kay replied. "Do you know who," asked Bradley. "No but 3 of them are in a bad way." "Come on lets get in the office and discuss what we are going to do," said Bradley. They went to the office and Bradley called his Beta's and his second in command Jason to him. Kay explained to everyone what she saw in her vision. "We will have to keep them separate for a bit, until we know we can trust them." Bradley said. Bradley thought to Nathan. Nathan you had best get the medical centre Isolation ward set up as soon as you can, as we're expecting company tomorrow afternoon. Travis and Eric you will go down to the main gate to wait with Brian who will be on guard tomorrow afternoon and make sure you are armed as this could be a trap we can't take any chances, said Bradley. As they were discussing what would be happening tomorrow, Harold and Maxamillion knocked on the office door. "Come in", said Bradley. "Bradley, do you mind if we borrow Kay for a minute?" asked Harold. "What's up?" he asked. "Nothing; we just want to test her magic a bit," replied Maxamillion. "Fine; Zippy, Bungle, Jeffery and George, you go with her," said Bradley. When they had left the office Bradley wondered what they were going to teach her now. Kay followed Harold and Maxamillion to the gym where she was yesterday morning. "Kay, we know you can shield yourself and others but, we want to try something with you," said Harold. "Have you ever heard of the enforcer shield?" asked Max. "No, no I haven't. What on earth is it?" asked Kay. "You boys, sit along the back wall, will you?" asked Harold. Beverley walked in, carrying a snake coiled around her arm. "This is a tame snake, so don't worry," she said, before she put the snake in a basket on the floor. "Now, Kay, imagine that snake is getting ready to attack you. Keep your eyes locked on the snake and think of the enforcer shield, if you do it right the snake should end up in a blue sphere," said Harold. Kay tried to picture the snake attacking her and started glowing. "She stared at the snake, thinking about how it was going to attack her; suddenly, she felt her mind reach out, and wrapped the snake in blue light." The snake was now contained in a blue sphere. "Well done!" said Max. "Now concentrate on shrinking the sphere a bit, but not too much. We don't want the snake to come in contact with the edges; otherwise, you'll kill Beverley's pet snake." Kay concentrated, and to everyone's amazement the sphere shrunk around the snake. "Ok, stop that's enough. Well done," said Max. "Now, concentrate on the snake again, and think, 'release'," said Max. All of a sudden the snake was free. Beverley bent down and picked it up and willed it back to her room. "That was brilliant," said Harold. "We wondered whether you would be able to use the enforcer; it's a very powerful weapon to be able to control because it's made of magical energy. If a person or animal tried to break the sphere from the inside, they would be killed instantly." A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 11 -------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile in Ryan Crows hideout. Ryan informed his wing leaders to assemble the flock in the basement, to receive the weapons. "Carlton, get the grenades and C4 explosives. (Composite compound 4 explosive, a high speed detonating explosive) We will throw them at the ground before we land in the compound." At 4.15pm, he assembled the crows in the grounds into two different flocks and then the whole murder of crows took off and flew towards Bradley Black's compound. -------------------------------------------------- Back at the compound. The Beta's, Bradley and John and Connie were discussing the ceremony that would happen tonight. Kay was just coming out of the hall, and heading into the dinning hall for something to eat; she was starved. She spotted Thomas as she was entering the dinning hall with her guards. He looked a bit afraid of her and she wondered what could be up. "Zippy, you any idea what is wrong with Thomas?" she asked. Zippy started chuckling and then it turned into a full blown laugh. Kay looked at him as if he had gone mad. "What on earth is up with you?" She asked him. "Sorry, your highness, but ever since you punished Thomas and his friends so publicly, they have been trying to avoid you and your mom, for fear of something else happening to them," replied Zippy. "Well, as long as they behave themselves it shouldn't be a problem," she said. Kay and her guards sat down to steak, salad and chips. They were just finishing up when the red alert signal went off. Kay and her guards raced to Bradley's office, just as him and his Beta's were heading to the weapons room. "What is it?" asked Kay. "The crows have been spotted by a neighbouring pack. They will be here in about 15minutes," replied Bradley. Then Jason was heard on the loud speakers, which were erected on all the walls and corridors of the mansion and in the guard house as well as the medical centre. "Guards and warriors to your posts immediately," bellowed Jason over the loud speakers. ------------------------------------------------- The Attack At 6p.m. two hundred crow warriors, the entire murder, landed in a small clearing just outside of the compounds known boundaries. The clearing wasn't big enough for them all, but it mattered little as they perched on branches and waited. Ryan sent out a small group of scouts, to find the limits of the wards as they would have to be partially taken out to allow them to attack. Ryan didn 't realize there were hidden sensors and cameras in the area, where he decided to prepare for the attack; he had been warned about magical wards, but not the modern and virtually invisible electric ones. The hidden movement sensors easily picked them up, and sent warnings to the security team, giving them the direction they needed to focus their main defence. The security team focused the cameras on the assembled crows, doing a rough head count so that they wouldn't be surprised by a decoy attack only to be hit from behind by the main force. Most of his men had already shifted into their crow form and were doing last minute checks on their bombs, as that was the first phase of their attack, weakening the physical markers which bound the wards in place. Not all would be bombing the wards; some would just be waiting for the wards to weaken and fly their ground attack weapons into the killing field. It was a risk that they took, but most weapons weren't easy to wear when in crow form, in fact they were a down right hindrance when they were in flight. Every other flock would carry their weapons while the unhindered flights would do the attacking and more importantly distracting the defenders from the masterless weapons being dropped. Ryan held up his hand, and made a throwing motion- which actually meant go, he didn't need to remind his people of their tasks, they knew what was required. Those with bombs took to the skies and formed up in their formations as they were only needed to weaken one point, each flight would focus on their own area instead of spreading out and possibly not managing to weaken the wards. There was no uniformity in their attack; each group flew to the speed of the slowest member, some of the flights faster and almost as soon as they were in the air they were formed up and racing towards the wards. The reason crow warriors were the only ones who could breach the wards was simple; no-one could approach them from the ground, as the wards would kick in, in fact they didn't have to weaken the wards to attack the compound they however did it out of practice so that if any of them had to flee on foot they would be able to get out. The collapse of the wards was sudden, almost planned that they would collapse after the first couple of flights let their pay loads go. Their was no visible change to say that the wards were down, it was just some intangible feeling that the protective wall was no longer there; for good measure, the flights that hadn't released their pay loads did so anyway, as the others reformed their fight formations and wheeled back towards the buildings where the main attack would happen. As a flapping black cloud they swooped, keeping low to the tree line as it would disguise their numbers for the time being, and make them harder to shoot at, until they rose further into the open sky. At the last possible moment they shot up, climbing as their attacks were most effective when they dropped from the sky and onto their victim. They dived, tilting their wings as they picked out individuals in the defensive lines. However, for some reason their usual mode of attack was met with calm faces who simply opened fire on the massed diving warriors. Crows started dropping from the sky and landing on top of those firing the guns. Those who had been missed in the hale of bullets changed the angle of their wings and got out of the line of fire. Since diving didn't work they swapped to another form of attack. While in their crow form they used their sharp beaks and talons, going for the eyes to blind the enemy as a blind fighter often took out one of their own before they could be restrained and taken from the field effectively taking out three warriors instead of taking out only one. For the stronger fighters and the obvious members of the royal guard they went for the neck, trying slice open the arteries, not knowing that there was a spell on the guard to protect them. The battle quickly turned from a air attack to a ground attack as the few crows still in the air were dragged to the ground by leaping wolves and cats. The crows shifted into their human forms and raced to where their weapons had been dropped or grabbed the fallen weapons of their enemy. The defenders were on them quickly, startling the crow warriors as more defenders came out of the buildings, waving swords and guns to join the fray. They hadn't expected a mass of trained warriors, far more than any one pack could have; they had no idea that the packs had been rallied to defend the princess. However hopeless they found the situation it didn't stop them from fighting, if they died they would do their best to take as many of the defenders with them as possible. The crows managed to retreat a little to reform their ranks for a co-ordinated attack. Bradley and his beta's and the royal guards charged at the crows on the ground. The wolfs were jumping on the backs of the crows that were on the ground aiming for their necks and throats. The cats were jumping on the back of the crows slicing them open with their lethal claws. The second wave of combined were's from surrounding packs and prides charged into to the fight, and soon the scene became a mass of wolves, cats and crows, all fighting together. They had never expected this amount of force on the ground. Ryan, bloodied and slightly wounded, let his eyes roam as the bulk of his remaining warriors charged at the defenders, the remaining members of his flight standing with him, waiting for his lead. His eyes came to focus on the woman he had been paid to capture, standing back from the fighting, watching what was happening but not getting involved. His eyes glanced around her, but she appeared to be alone. His mind whirled as he came up with a new plan, one that meant some of his men might get out of this alive. If they grabbed her and ran they could get her out and to Lazlo before the defenders could rescue her. "New plan; that's her right there, grab and flee." He told the men around him. Everyone else when I give the signal retreat, rally around me but retreat. He told the rest of his men. "Lets go." But like everything that had happened today, nothing was to be that simple or go as planned. What he didn't know was that this was a trap, that it had been planned this way to trap him and stop the battle in its tracks. He and his men made a beeline for the princess, unaware of the danger and not even wondering why there wasn't even a token resistance to their obvious attack. Kay saw them approaching and fought to keep the grin from her face; they had taken the bait. Here they come, she told Bradley as they had arranged for the pack to start backing away on his signal, to give the crow warriors room for the inevitable retreat that their leader had planned when they went for Kay. Bradley howled, the signal to the defenders to back away, to give ground to the attackers and make them feel more confident that they were winning when in fact all they were doing was walking further into a hole with no way out Kay started to glow as she watched Ryan and his men approach, she threw up a shield to protect herself from attack, as she knew Bradley would go nuts if she was so much as scratched. She glanced up as she held her hands out palms up, she focused and did what she did the day before and made fire rain from the heavens. The defenders were expecting it and dived for cover the moment the sky went red. The crows didn't know what hit them; those who had taken to the skies found their wings on fire and those on the ground found that no part of their bodies was safe from the Fire Rain. They started dropping like flies sprayed like rapid insect killer. The warriors had only one thought, one focus; to get to Kay and knock her out, hoping that by doing so the deadly and debilitating Fire Rain would stop. However, not matter how they approached her they came to an invisible wall. Kay watched them calmly as she waited for them to condense a little more. When they were more or less one mass she focused and the Fire Rain stopped, and a moment later she simply thought of the Enforcer Shield. The crows didn't notice that the Fire Rain had stopped they just continued to attack. The blue flash of light blinded those who saw it for several moments as the Enforcer Shield materialised. The bulk of the remaining crow warriors were contained within a blue sphere, the few who were outside of it were quickly mobbed by the pack who had been waiting for the Fire Rain to stop. Kay let the crows consider the blue sphere for several moments before she shrank it a bit. One of the warriors reached out to touch the pretty blue sphere which surrounded them before anyone could stop him his fingers touched the sphere. A moment later he was no more. Those who had witnessed his demise tried to get as far away from the blue wall as possible. Bradley came towards Kay and she let her shield go. "How did you do this?" he asked, pointing at the sphere. "Remember when I went off with Max and Harold? Well, they taught me how to do it," she answered. Bradley wrapped his arms around her, glad she was unharmed. Bradley had a gash down his arm and a cut on his nose, but other than that he was fine. Ryan knew he had lost as he glanced around at the sphere. He knew he had no option but to surrender; they had fought bravely, but there was no way out of this. He knew the Alpha of this pack was a man of honour, and would respect a surrender. He and his men had failed and he knew his only option was to help take Lazlo out, or he would surely be killed by the mad man. "Can I speak?" asked Ryan, from the sphere. Bradley and Kay walked towards the sphere. "You may," replied Bradley. "I and my men surrender, and I offer my services to you and that of my remaining men to help you take out Lazlo," said Ryan. Bradley looked and Ryan and his men inside the sphere. He wasn't sure he could trust them. It seemed weird to him that they had only just won the battle and Ryan was offering himself and his men to him. Bradley decided that he would ask John to do a mindsweep on Ryan and his men before allowing them to merge with his pack; for all he knew it could just be a trap and he wasn't going to take any chances. "We will do a mindsweep on you and if your offer is proved to be genuine, then I will consider it", replied Bradley. Ryan thought about it; He had nothing to hide from Bradley. His men would be good as dead if they went back to Lazlo without the Princess. "I agree to your terms," said Ryan. Ryan ordered his men to put down their weapons and shift into human form. They all shifted into human form while still in the enforcer sphere. Kay focused on the sphere and let it float above the ground a bit with Ryan and his men suspended in the middle of it. "Where are we going to keep them all?" she asked Bradley. "There isn't enough room in the holding cells for all this lot," he replied. "Do you think you could transport the sphere into the gym?" asked Bradley. "Yeah, no problem," replied Kay. Kay held her hands out towards the sphere and started glowing a bit and thought of teleporting the sphere into the gym. All of a sudden there was a white glow around the sphere and then it disappeared. Bradley and Kay and the Royal guards, her body guards and the Beta's all went to the gym and sure enough bang smack in the middle was Ryan and is men held in the sphere ------------------------------------------------- Inside the Gym. Kay was thinking she knew that the men had to be held somehow, but didn't think the sphere would be just right. "Everyone move back a bit; I have an idea," said Kay. Kay had no idea if this would work, but she wanted to try. She thought about the holding cells downstairs and what they looked like and then she thought about the bunk bed that was in the cell. Kay started to glow a bit again she then held her hand out either side of her and thought the words, 'wall of bars'. All of a sudden on each side of the gym there was a wall of metal bars. She then turned round, pointing her hands at the other sides of the wall and more bars appeared. Now the sphere was surrounded in a cell with bars on each side. Kay started to glow again and thought the words release the sphere. The sphere pulsed a blue glow and then vanished. Ryan and his men were now contained in a cell that covered nearly the whole floor of the gym. Kay made sweat pants and tops appear inside the cell and blankets and cots. The guards were placed around the cell and then Kay and Bradley left to go back outside. The injured had been taken to the medical centre and Nathan and Mason were in the process of patching everyone up. All the dead crows were put to one side so they could be returned to their families. -------------------------------------------------- "I'm feeling weird again", said Kay. "The moon will be rising soon, honey", replied Bradley. "Let's go and sit down in the Library for a while." Bradley and Kay made their way to the Library, and found that they were not the only ones in there. Jason and Jessica were sitting very close to each other on the back sofa. Bradley noticed they were holding hands. "So, what are you two up to?" asked Bradley. "Nothing much, just having a quiet chat," replied Jason. Kay noticed that Jessica had gone a little red in the face. Jessica stood up just then. "Well, if you will excuse me, I have to go back to the casting room with Charlotte," she said. Jason stood up and gave her a kiss. She went even redder in the face and disappeared through the door quickly. "You just had to come in here, didn't you?" said Jason, blowing out a breath in frustration. "Why, what's the matter with you?" asked Kay. "Well, I think I have found my mate at long last," replied Jason. "Congratulations," said Kay. "It's not that simple," said Jason, before standing up and pacing back and forth in front of the fireplace. "Why, what is the matter?" asked Bradley. "We need some time to get to know each other a bit," answered Jason. "At the moment with so much going on we are finding it very hard to find time to be on our own." "I know things are a bit hectic at the moment, but they should settle down soon; you can romance your mate all you want then," said Bradley, laughing a bit. "It's not funny, you know; it's very frustrating I can tell you," said Jason still pacing. "Ok, lets change the subject", said Bradley. "Have the Alpha's from the surrounding packs arrived yet?" "Yes, they're all in the large community room, with some of the magical council," replied Jason. "We also have their mates as well". "Have all the members from the other packs and prides been treated at the medical centre?" asked Kay. "Yes, your highness, and they are currently resting in the extra housing we've temporally put up," replied Jason. "Oh god, not you as well! Look, when it is just us, can you please just call me Kay? All this 'your highness' or 'madam' is annoying me very much," said Kay. "But it's a sign of respect, your highness," replied Jason. "I know, but I class you as a close friend, Jason, and I would really like you to call me Kay in private, please?" she asked, with a pleading voice. Jason looked at Bradley and he nodded. "Ok, when it is just us, I'll call you Kay," he replied. "Kay, I think we had better go and meet the other Alpha's now; it will soon be time to start the ceremony," said Bradley. "Yes, I would like that," said Kay. "Oh, Jason, before I go ring the White Cat Hotel and get them to bring back all the people we sent over there please," asked Bradley. "Yes, I'll do it now, and then meet you in the community room with the Alpha's," replied Jason. -------------------------------------------------- In the Community Room. The room was absolutely packed with Alpha's and their mates. The Royal guards were there, with their mates. The whole entire magical council was also there. Kay spotted her parents and wondered where Paul was. He had been very mysterious since the morning. She closed her eyes a bit and thought. "Paul, where are you", she asked. It took a while to get a reply and she couldn't understand why. "I'll be with you in a bit", he sounded flustered. "What's the matter", she asked. "I'm fine I will be with you in a while I'm just chatting to Martyn, I won't be long I promise", he replied. Kay opened her eyes and Bradley was right there in front of her. "Are you alright?" he asked. "You had your eyes closed". "I'm fine; I was just communicating with my brother." "Is he alright?" asked Bradley. "He says he's talking to Martyn," she said. "Who's Martyn? I don't think I have met him." "Martyn is our security team leader, he is the one that keeps an eye on the main camera's around the compound. But he usually doesn't chat to anyone when he is on duty," replied Bradley in a strange voice. "What's the matter?" asked Kay looking puzzled now. "Nothing, it's nothing, honestly," replied Bradley. It was getting darker outside now and the moon was shinning high in the sky. Kay's mom came over to them. "You two had better go, and get ready for the ceremony," she said. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 11 "We both have to get ready?" asked Bradley. "Yes, you'll find clothes for both of you in your room, now hurry!" replied Connie. chuckling. When Kay and Bradley had gone upstairs. Connie stood on the platform in front of everyone and addressed them. "Ladies and Gentlemen, if you would all like to make your way outside, to the stone circle, the ceremony will be starting soon." Upstairs Kay and Bradley went into their room and looked on the bed for their clothes and both of them just stared at each other. "Mom cannot be serious she expects us to where these tonight, in front of all those people," said Kay. Kay's dress was very long and thin, going down to the floor. It was royal blue, and on the back was a picture with a tiger on it, surrounded in blue flame. The under garments was just a thong and a small bra, both in the same royal blue. The fabric felt strange, almost like rubber of some kind. The dress was practically see through. Kay had a quick shower, and then put on the underwear and the dress. As she was getting dressed, she noticed her skin was rippling again. Bradley was just staring at her. She looked lovely in it. His clothes were fine by him; he had black trousers, and a shirt with the same tiger in blue flame on the back of his shirt. Bradley went for a shower and put on his clothes, not bothering with underwear as he knew he wouldn't be in the clothes long. They both had slip-on shoes, both in black. Once they were ready, Bradley took Kay in his arms and kissed her, long and hard. ------------------------------------------------- The New Moon Ceremony and the Official Mating. When the Alpha wolves mated, they did it on the big black boulder, which was set up like an altar. The boulder was made of marble, and had been on the Black Wolf Pack's grounds for hundreds of years, and used by countless Alpha's during that time. Today, though, it was set up differently. In front of the altar were six large crystals, all of them red and arranged in a ring. Inside were four bigger, blue, crystals. Kay and Bradley had been told by Connie the meaning of the crystals and what they would do. Kay's first change into her Fire Tiger was going to be scary to watch, for a lot of people. It had been decided that Connie would explain to everyone, before the Ceremony, exactly what was going to happen. Connie stood to the side of Bradley and Kay and said a strange word; all of a sudden she could speak a lot louder than usual. "Welcome, everyone, to this ceremony of the Fire Tigers Pride. In this ceremony my daughter Kay, will be joined with Bradley, her mate, in a very special way. "For those of you who don't know me, I am Queen Connie, and this is my husband, King John," she said, pointing to John. "Some of you may know my daughter is a Princess of the Fire Tiger pride, and it gives me great pleasure to announce she has chosen Bradley Black as her mate. "From this night forth, he will be known as Prince Bradley of the Fire Tiger Pride, and he will be joined in marriage to Princess Kay. "Also, during this ceremony, she will mate to Bradley in the traditional way the pack's Alphas have always become one." Connie let the silence ring. "They will each receive a collar, as a symbol of their mating and they will each receive a crown of office from our Fire Tiger Pride. "Now, then, Kay's first shift is slightly unusual and I ask all of you not to try and put the fire out when it comes. You will be able to see what is happening at all times, but I must ask you not to put out the flames that will engulf Kay as she starts her shift. This is normal for us." Connie stepped back and was joined by John, Isobel, Paul, Henry, Maxamillion, Harold and Beverley. Connie led Kay into the centre of the Blue crystals. Kay removed her dress and was left in just her underwear. Kay had been dreading this part; she had been told by her mom what to expect and she knew that this part will be the most scary for Bradley. They had agreed that they would use their link if there was a problem. If everything went according to plan, he had to enter the blue circle when the fire turned blue; even then, not until he received a protecting spell from Maxamillion and John. Connie, Isobel and John stood inside the red crystal circle but outside of the blue crystal circle, while the others placed themselves around the outside of the two circles of crystal. Connie, Isobel and John started chanting a spell for the start of the ceremony. Kay had no idea what they were saying but she could feel her skin rippling again. The next thing she noticed was that she was getting warmer and she looked up at the moon, shining brightly above them all. Kay was now glowing red, and it was slowly getting brighter. Kay could feel her Tiger coming forth, and she was telling her to relax and embrace the fire within her, and let it out slowly. To everyone watching, Kay continued getting brighter and brighter, shades of red and yellow. They noticed the red crystals were also glowing red, and were getting really bright now; rising, to meet her. All of a sudden Kay was engulfed in red flames. To everyone watching it looked like she was burning to death. But all Kay could feel was warmth, and not the red hot pain. Kay started to turn around in the flames. She had to turn three times in the red flames and then it would turn blue. Kay turned, and then noticed that she was feeling cooler again. The flames had now turned blue, and Kay was now bathed in blue flame. Maxamillion and John were now holding their hands on Bradley, together chanting, and were handing him a potion to drink; just for a slight moment, Bradley glowed yellow briefly, but then it was gone. He was now protected and could enter the circle of blue crystals; to join his mate. Bradley was feeling a bit uncertain about this part. He had been told he was just to walk into the blue flames, and hold Kay and kiss her in the flames. Knowing and doing were two different things altogether. Bradley stood just outside the circles, watching Kay; she seemed to be unharmed. "How are you honey", he asked through their link. "I'm fine Brad come in and join me ", Kay replied. Bradley took a deep breath, before removing his clothes. He walked into the blue flames; they felt cool against his skin. He then took Kay in his arms and kissed her. It was surprising; even though they were in the middle of this blue flame he could only feel coolness. Bradley could feel Kay through their link, and knew her tiger was coming to the surface. Kay's eyes were turning bright blue. All of a sudden, Kay removed her underwear and was standing just as naked as Bradley was, in the midst of the blue flame. Bradley moved a bit and knew what was about to happen; Kay's tiger was taking over her body and soon the change would be complete. Bradley knew this was the only time they would go through this special change, and called to his wolf to share this experience with him. Kay started glowing blue, and the flames disappeared, a bright light engulfing them. Where once Kay and Bradley stood, there was now a pure White Tiger and a large Black Wolf. Each of them were sniffing each other; Kay was amazed that the shift never really hurt her at all. Bradley had always thought Connie was impressive in her White Tiger form, but Kay was just beautiful. She was much larger than her mom or her dad in her tiger form; her teeth were longer than a normal tiger, and her paws were a lot bigger, almost like saucers. She batted him with her paw now; she wanted to play. But her Mom came up to them. "You must shift back for a little while to complete the joining," she told them. Oh mom, can't we go and have a run now, Kay thought pleadingly. Afraid not darling, we must complete the ceremony now, replied Connie. Kay looked at Bradley and he looked straight back. They both just wanted to run and play, but knew there was something else they must do first. They shifted back to human form and Bradley lead Kay to the black marble alter and laid her down on it. He started kissing her and running his hands up and down her body. He kissed all the way down her body, till he got to her pussy, which was already soaking wet. He licked and caressed her, putting his fingers in and tasting her on his fingers. His wolf had enough waiting and pushed his human half to get on with it. Bradley knew his wolf wanted to finish this part so they could get back to playing with their new tiger. Bradley loved Kay in her tiger form. Bradley turned Kay over. Are you ready honey he asked her? Always for you, replied Kay. With that Bradley changed into his Wolf form slowly entered Kay from behind. Kay had to stay in human form, as this was a tradition of the mating process and she wanted to follow the traditions of the pack. Bradley was bigger in his wolf form and Kay started feeling a fullness deep inside. Bradley was trying to make his wolf slow down as he didn't want to hurt Kay. Kay could feel Bradley's fur tickling her skin and it was turning her on. She loved Bradley in his wolf form even though she could feel his claws digging in her side. Bradley was growling softly as Kay was stroking him and pushing her pussy into his groin. His cock pushed all the way in to her soaking wet tunnel. Although they had made love before, and had mated this ceremony had to be completed. Once Bradley and Kay were pinned together, the Alpha's of the surrounding packs and prides could come and taste them both, so they would recognise their scents together. Bradley was now pumping into Kay, faster and faster, his knot beginning to form. He gave one big shove, and Kay screamed in pleasure. Bradley couldn't hold it anymore, and let out a howl, pumping his hot seed into Kay. Gradually the Alphas and some of the magical council came to taste the new Alpha pair. It felt funny to have all these strange people licking at her, down below and tasting their scents, but it also tickled her and with Bradley rocking backwards and forwards into her she was near another orgasm, very soon. Soon everyone had tasted their scent, and Bradley's knot receded enough so they could separate and complete the ceremony or marriage for want of a better word. Connie came forward and got everyone's attention now as the mated pairs had been rutting all over the place, as it was the usual thing to do. Even Connie and John had made love, watching their daughter and their new son together. "Karen Angelica Potter I crown you Princess of the Fire Tiger Pride," said Connie. She then placed a silver crown with sapphires in it on her head. "Bradley Black, I crown you Prince of the Fire Tiger Pride," said Connie. She then placed a silver crown on his head with rubies in it. She then took the ceremonial Sword, and held above both their heads. She chanted some strange words; the sword glowed a fiery red colour and then turned blue and she touched both their heads with it. Both Bradley and Kay were both bathed in a small blue light for a little while and then everything went back to normal. Elder Albert Peterson of the Fire Tiger Pride stepped forward in full regal dress of white, with a large cross hanging round his neck. He picked up Kay's hand and wrapped a length of blue silk around her hand and wrist. "Who gives this woman in marriage to Bradley Black?" he asked. "We do," said Connie and John together. He picked up Bradley's hand and wrapped the blue silk around his hand and wrist as well. "Do you, Bradley Black, take this woman Princess Karen Angelica Potter into your care, to have and to hold, to protect and serve as long as you both shall live?" "I will," replied Bradley. "Do you, Princess Karen Angelica Potter, take this man Bradley Black to be your protector, to have and to hold, to serve and care for, as long as you both shall live?" "I will," replied Kay. "Do you both solemnly swear to protect and serve both the Fire Tiger pride and the Black Wolf pack, for as long as you both shall live?" "We do," they both replied. Then elder Samuel of the Black Wolf pack stepped forward. "Bradley Black, and Karen Angelica Potter, you have both been joined together in this mating ceremony, and it only leaves me to say, welcome to you, Princess Kay, and may you both live a long and happy life together." With that said, he picked up the two collars that were lying on the blue cushions side by side. He slipped Bradley's over his head; it was made of gold, a long chain with a tigers paw at the end. Samuel pricked Bradley's neck with the tiger paw, and magically sealed the collar to him. He then picked up Kay's collar, and slipped it over her head; it too was made of gold, but on the end of her chain was a wolves' paw, and Samuel pricked Kay's neck with it, sealing her collar in place. Samuel then announced to the entire crowd. "I present to you all, Prince Bradley, and Princess Kay; new Alpha's of The Black Wolf Pack!" Then followed a serious of load howls and roars as everyone was very happy, expressing their joy. Everyone started moving towards the food; some got dressed again, some stayed naked. Bradley and Kay had been given robes with the Royal crest on them. They followed everyone and got a plate of food and settled down to eat and enjoy themselves. Afterwards Bradley and Kay changed into their animal forms and went for a run and play with each other. Some of the pack followed watching the inter action of their new Alpha Female. Some just chasing their mates in the woods for fun and frolics. ---------------------------------------- To be continued...

She yawned and opened her eyes. The bed was a complete mess, the sheets were ripped and there were dirty muddy patches on it. She couldn't remember where they had come from. Bradley was watching her and noticed her confusion as she was coming awake starring at the bed. "Don't you remember coming to bed still in tiger form", asked Bradley. "I remember changing back into my tiger form and chasing through the forest after we had eaten, but after that things get a bit hazy", answered Kay frowning. Bradley chuckled a bit remembering last night. "Well you decided to swim in the waterfall and then run around the grounds rolling around in the dirt with some of the cubs climbing all over you", said Bradley laughing at her confusion. He then pulled the blanket and sheet off Kay and she gasped when she saw the state she was in. Kay was covered in caked on mud and bits of grass and leaves. Bradley was dirty but no way near as dirty as Kay. Kay got up and rushed to the bathroom and turned on the shower to get the dirt off her. Bradley followed and got in the shower with her. Soon the bathroom was not only steaming from the hot water but also from their love making. He grinned cheekily as he picked up a wash cloth and a small bottle of body wash and lathered up the cloth. He pulled her up against his chest, his hard cock resting up against her spine as he lathered up her breasts then stroked the cloth down her chest to her golden brown curls. Kay groaned and rubbed up against him, sliding his pulsing hardness up against her spine. She was grinning broadly which was broken by groans that tore from her as he caressed the slightly rough cloth against her clit then lower still, the slight abrasion sending harsh tremors up her spine. She groaned and struggled against his hold, the hot thickness of his cock and the flat hardness of his chest against her set her nerves on fire. He swept the cloth back up past her breasts and washed her neck. He turned her to face him and leaned down and gently kissed her as he brushed the cloth down her back and over her arms. He brushed his fingers against her clit and pussy, making her hips jerk against him, he grunted as she brushed against his cock. Kay bit her lip to stop the moan from creeping out, she would certainly pay him back, but he was also being sweet, her lips still tingled from where he kissed her. She rubbed up against him, wanting his cock inside of her. But she had to make him pay for torturing her. She grabbed the cloth from him and gripped his hips and turned him towards the wall, she pressed her breasts up against his back and rubbed the cloth under his arms and then followed every bulge of muscle in his arms, taking care to stroke each of his fingers. She made sure her breasts were sliding up and down Bradley's back. He gritted his teeth as she teased him, rubbing the cloth over his fingers gently, faint crackles of sensation travelled up each arm in turn as she cleaned them. She stroked the cloth over his chest and brushed his nipples; he grunted and rubbed against her breasts, the hard peaks of her breasts brushing his back, rubbing against the healing scratches he had received in the fight the night before. She slipped the cloth lower, stroking the ridged muscles of his abs. She grinned wickedly as she felt his back quiver and brush against her again. She continued stroking him gently with the cloth while her other hand reached under and grasped his balls. He choked in a gasp as she teased his balls. She ran the cloth down over the tip of his cock while she ran her other hand up his shaft. Bradley stumbled against the pleasure, he fell forward and braced his hands on the wall as her hands stroked and teased his cock and his ball sack, which was getting heavy with need. He groaned as she ran her nails up from his balls to his arse and gentle rubbed his anus with her fingers. Pleasure shook his body, made his arms tremble as she tortured him with the cloth. Kay smirked as Bradley quivered under her touch. It would teach him to tease her and not expect anything back in return; she rubbed the cloth up over his back while her hand started a slow stroking motion on his big thick cock. Bradley couldn't take it anymore his wolf was coming forward and wanted his mate desperately. She shrieked as Bradley suddenly reached back and pushed her against the wall and kissed her hungrily. Devouring her mouth, she groaned and dropped the cloth, wrapping her arms around his waist, rubbing his deliciously hard cock against her. Bradley groaned as she rubbed against him, "You're such a tease Kay," he said huskily before kissing her again. The passionate force behind his kiss made her legs quiver, if Bradley wasn't holding her up she didn't think she'd be standing. After he broke the kiss she said, "Tease? You were the one teasing me mister", she said laughing and poking him in the chest with her finger. He grinned and said, "But you liked it though didn't you?" Before she could answer, he brushed his fingers against her pussy lips and slipped them open before he thrust deeply into her, groaning as the tight press of her muscles squeezed him. Kay dug her claws into the base of his back and moaned deeply, she wrapped her legs around his and tried to push him in deeper. He nipped her neck and chuckled before thrusting in a slow steady rhythm, one she swore was designed to make her go crazy. Kay's tiger was coming forward in her mind and she offered her a chance to feel Bradley's love making with them. Bradley tried to hide the struggle on his face from attempting to hold back his urge to ram into her like a battering ram, she got him so hot and it was like she was melting around him, he had never experienced this before. She looked up to him and grinned, her claws slid down and dug into his arse. It was all it took for the dam to burst, he growled and slammed her hard against the wall and thrust savagely into her losing control of his wolf all together. Hot sparks of pleasure burned up from his cock, through his spine. He leaned back and groaned as he thrust, harder and faster ramming his cock into her sopping wet pussy. Kay screamed with pleasure as he pounded her against the wall, she knew Bradley's wolf had taken over and, the sheer force of his pounding drives sent mini-explosions off throughout her body. Her nerves were so saturated in bone wrenching pleasure it helped her stop her oncoming orgasm for just a while longer. She dug her claws into his arse harder and thrust towards him, sending more blistering hot pleasure racing through her. Soon it was too much for either of them, she reached up and bit into his shoulder and screamed as her orgasm overcame her. Bradley loved feeling her teeth dig into his shoulder, he thrust hard once more into her and growled as he spilled inside of her and bit her on her shoulder, collapsing against her and panting harshly. His orgasm, and the splash of his hot seed deep inside of her set off another orgasm, she gripped his hips as her body trembled with the pleasure of her release. After they rested against each other for a few moments gathering their breath, Bradley reached out and turned the taps off. He broke out of her hold and pushed the door open and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his hips. Then got another towel and passed it to Kay. She took it from him and wrapped it around herself and then Bradley put his arms gently around her and kissed her long and hard. Just as they were getting dressed Bradley's phone went off. He picked it up off the bedside table and answered it. "Yeah" It was Martyn his security chief. "We are having visitors in about 10 minuets", he said. "Who? ", replied Bradley. "A van load of police from the look of it, they just passed the outer scanners". "Who is on duty at the main gates?" asked Bradley. "Victor and Rodney", replied Martyn. "Get Travis and Reily to go down to the main gate and wait for them", ordered Bradley. "We will be down in a bit, tell me when they reach the gates". "Will do Alpha", replied Martyn. "Who was that?" asked Kay. "Martyn, he says there is a van load of police coming here. We must get downstairs now", replied Bradley sighing. Bradley quickly finished dressing and went straight down to his office. Kay finished dressing and went and got some Omega's to clean their room and remake their bed as it was in such a state the sheets and most likely the mattress would have to be changed. She then joined Bradley in his office. -------------------------------------------------- The Flying Squad. The van was approaching the compound main gate now. "Everyone ready", asked Sergeant Roger Talbot. "Ready Serg", they all replied. "Lock and load", ordered the Sergeant. They all checked their weapons and prepared for the entry into the compound. "Alpha they are armed", reported Travis. "Travis, allow them in. I have a surprise for them they won't be expecting", replied Bradley. Travis was wondering what his Alpha could be on about. Bradley had just been talking to John and had learnt that he worked with the human police and even held a rank of Chief Superintendent. John had been working with the police for a long time and had a great many contacts in the police and he had placed a few Were's into the police force. It was a way of keeping things from getting out of hand with the human population. John had even told the Police Commissioner his true identity and that he was from the Royal Fire Tiger Pride. John was on the phone speaking to the commissioner at the moment. Robert Maxwell was a big man standing about 6 ft 6 inches tall and very muscular. He had been the Commissioner now for the last 30 years and had built a reputation for getting things done fast. He took no nonsense from any of his officer's. "Hello Bob". "Hi John, how's it going?" "The wedding went off fine and everyone had a good time. We have a problem though, it seems that the local flying squad are here at the main gates", said John. "The flying squad, what on earth for", asked Bob. "Well we had a few problems here with crows attacking the compound trying to get my daughter". "Is she safe now?" asked Bob. "Oh yes she is fine, but the crows dropped bombs on the compound", replied John. "Oh god, that's why the flying squad are there then, hang on let me get hold of Percy and we can get this mess sorted out immediately", sighed Bob. "John ask Bradley if I can come over to his place I would love to meet your daughter and your wife now you have found them again", asked Bob. John put his hand over the phone. "Bradley the commissioner wants to come over and meet you and my family is that ok with you", asked John. "Yeah sure", replied Bradley. John removed his hand off the mouth piece of the phone. "Yeah Bob that will be fine, see you tomorrow morning then", said John. "Bye for now then" He hung up the phone. "Bob is going to get in touch with the Chief Inspector of the flying squad and tell him everything he needs to know", said John. ------------------------------------------------- By this time Travis had met the troops at the front gate and had brought them into the compound. There were a few wolves and people moving about outside. The wolves had been told they had to stay in that form until the police had been dealt with. Bradley and John went out to meet the flying squad. Talbot jumped out armed to the teeth and all his men gathered round him pointing their weapons at everyone. But when Talbot saw John emerging from the main building his jaw dropped. What on earth is he doing here he thought. "Morning Talbot, what are you doing here this early in the morning", asked John. "Sir we are following reports of explosions been heard and felt on this property yesterday evening. The neighbours from near by properties have complained and we have been sent to investigate", replied Talbot. "Well there was a small attack on this compound yesterday evening by a certain force of warrior's and I'm glad to say that we have managed to contain it and have ended the battle". "But sir, what was it all about and what was the force of warrior's you spoke about?" Talbot was getting very suspicious of John. "Who is in charge down the station these days", asked John. "That would be Inspector Percy Creighton", replied Talbot. Just as John was stepping down towards Talbot to try and explain that everything was under control. When a very large pure white tiger rounded the corner and one of Talbot's men shot at it. But the bullet never reached the Tiger. Kay had managed to get near her mom and put up a shield around them both. "I would prefer that you don't shoot my wife Jenkins if you don't mind", shouted John sternly. "Honey what are you doing", he asked Connie through their link. "Well he was starting to piss me off with all his questions, so I thought I would give him something to think about", she replied. "But honey Talbot has no idea of my real identity". "Well it is about time you told him, because I think with everything that is about to happen soon we are going to need the human population to help us defeat Lazlo and his cronies". "Honey the commissioner is coming in the morning to meet us all and he knows all about me and our family and has done for ages. There are a few were's in the police force but not many. I don't know how we are going to do this but, I think you are right I think we need to let the local police force know of this threat that is hanging over us and I think they need to see exactly what we are. But I think the commissioner should be the one to tell the rest of the police force as he knows which ones would be most useful and which ones to trust", replied John. "All this pussy footing around I think all the time makes me sick. We should sort out this group first, maybe keep them here till the commissioner comes in the morning", said Connie starring at them. "Honey we cannot keep the squad here against their will it is not wise to upset the local police force", said John sighing. Unknown to everyone Kay had enough, she knew by watching her parents they were having a silent discussion amongst themselves. Kay on the other hand had been watching the flying squad and although there was only 10 of them they were all armed. She thought it would be probably better to disarm them, before anyone else decided to shoot at them again. Talbot meanwhile was thinking he needed to get in touch with someone and have John taken in to custody because surely he had gone mad thinking a Tiger was his wife. He was privately signalling to is crew to get ready to shoot when all of a sudden their weapons vanished in front of their eyes. Even the canisters of tear gas and all their other weapons in their utility packs. Kay was standing by the side of them glowing slightly as she had just sent all their weapons to the lock up in the mansion. "I have removed all your weapons and you will get them back when you leave", said Kay eyeing them suspiciously. "I knew that you were thinking of attacking us. I assure you there is no way you can win against us and I ask you to stay here and observe us if you will, all I ask is you keep an open mind", asked Kay. "What are you going to do with us", asked Talbot. "Well the police commissioner is coming down tomorrow to see us all and he will explain to you what is happening at the moment", said Bradley. "We are in the middle of a violent war that if it is not stopped, life as we know it will be changed for ever with very deadly consequences", said Kay. "I don't like this I must admit, I think you are all mad", replied Talbot. "How can this nice white tiger possibly your wife, for god's sake it is an animal and you cannot marry animals it is against the law of nature", said Talbot angrily. Everyone around them started laughing and a few were rolling around on the floor. "Honey do you think you could change back so this stupid idiot can see for himself ", asked John. "Talbot, turn this way and face me and watch carefully", Connie projected into Talbot's startled brain. Talbot and all the others turned towards the large white tiger sitting in front of them. They watch as it started to glow red a bit and then the tiger disappeared and a tall woman stood in her place completely naked. Connie made a pair of sweats appear in her hand and put them on. Talbot and all the others were completely gob smacked. For the first time in his life Sergeant Roger Talbot was speechless. He turned to his men and all of them were just as stunned as he was. "OK, that is really weird, I have never seen anything like that before", said Benny Owens "We have quite a few different were's here and you are welcome to walk and talk amongst us and get to know them", said Bradley. "All I ask is that you try not to leave the compound without asking permission otherwise face the consequences. We will let you go once the commissionaire has spoken to you. But by that time I hope you will agree to help us in the forth coming battle", said Bradley. "Fine let me introduce you to my men", said Talbot. "This is Benny Owens; he has been with the squad for the last five years and he is lethal with any hand gun". Benny was tall about 6 ft 3 inches and had blond curly hair, thin face and blue eyes and he was built fit and lean. "Next we have Marshal Stevens; he has been with the squad about 3 years now he is a demolitions expert". Marshal was very tall well over 6 ft 6 inches and looked like a body builder. He was black and had piecing brown eyes that seem to follow you where ever you went. "Next to him we have Colin Jenkins; he is also lethal with weapons". Colin was also tall and had very dark long hair tied up in a pony tail. He had grey eyes, he was also very tall. He moved towards Bradley and smiled. "Hi Bradley, how are you doing?" "Fine, your father and your brothers are here somewhere", replied Bradley. "I know when I phoned home a couple of days they told me they would be coming here for your mating ceremony", said Colin. Talbot had been listening to this exchange. "So you know Mr Black then Jenkins", asked Talbot. "Yes, him and my dad have been friends for years and yes, before you ask, I am a werewolf and the police chief is aware of who and what I am". Talbot couldn't believe it he had been working along side this man for the last two years and he had no idea that he was a werewolf. Talbot turned to the next man and continued to introduce them to everyone. "This is Peter Broadway; he has only been with us for a few months but is proving he is good with problem solving." Peter Broadway was broad by name as well as nature. He looked a big strong strapping lad the kind you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley on your own. He had short spiky black hair and bright green eyes. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 12 Kay didn't like the look of him there was something about him that she just didn't like. She thought to her dad. "Dad I'm getting a very funny feeling when looking at Peter Broadway, there is something about him that makes me uneasy", she said. "Kay honey, do you think we should keep an eye on him then?" "I would feel better if you or mom could probe his mind and check him out". "Alright honey we will check him out I promise". "Now Matthew Gobbins; might look small compared to the others but, he is one hell of a lethal weapon with guns, knives and his bare hands if he must. He is one bad killing machine", said Talbot with pride in his voice. Matthew Gobbins looked it too, big with brown hair and brown eyes that looked like they would pop out of his head at any moment. Talbot moved the line of men until he came to Billy and stopped. "This is Billy Muffit; he has been with the squad five years now". Billy was also tall but he was very thin with black spiky hair. He also had bright green eyes. "This is Tony Croxley; he transferred to this unit last week. Haven't got his measure yet but seems to be a good all round guy to me". Tony Croxley looked a bit shy to Kay's way of thinking he seemed to hide his face when Talbot was talking about him. Kay wondered what that was all about and made a mental note have a chat with him when she got the chance. Tony Croxley was also tall and well built with long shoulder length hair. He had grey eyes. "This here is Herbert Trench; he has also been with this squad five years." Herbert was walking to Bradley. "Is my dad here as well Mr Black?", he asked. "Yes, both your parents are here in the medical centre helping out last time I heard". Herbert's parents were Mason and Milly. Mason was the Doctor of Linda and Nigel's cat pride. Talbot couldn't believe it another one of his squad was a were. "You're a werewolf as well Trench?" "No, actually I'm a werepanther like my mom and dad", he replied. Trench was lean built exactly like a panther and he was black in skin tone also with deep green eyes. The last one in the line was also looking at Bradley Black as if he knew him. "The last in line is Leslie Hylton; he has been with us three years and is good at almost anything except don't get him near the kitchen as he can't cook for peanuts", said Talbot chuckling. "Hey Alpha, sorry I missed the mating ceremony last night but I was on duty sir", said Leslie. Talbot was wondering why Hylton was calling Bradley Black Alpha. "Ere, why is Hylton calling you Alpha?" he asked. "Because I am his Alpha, he belongs to this pack", replied Bradley. "Let me explain everyone who lives here is part of my pack and I'm in charge of them and they recognise me as their Alpha or leader for want of a better word. This Kay my mate and she is the pack's Alpha Female. After last night we now have two titles though because Kay is a Princess of The Fire Tiger Pride and me being mated to her, I'm now seen as a Prince as well", said Bradley. "John you all know and this is his mate Connie". Everyone was busy shaking hands and getting to know one another when Kay started glowing again and starring into space. All of a sudden she was screaming as if she was being attacked. Her body guards ran to her and surrounded her. Bradley ran to her and tried to pick her up and hold her but it was impossible she was far too hot. Then Kay passed out. Several things happened at once then. John and Connie placed their hands above Kay and said a few very funny words and all of a sudden Kay was floating off the ground. John and Connie were able to guide Kay's unconscious body towards the medical centre with the guards and the flying squad and quite a few other people following them. Connie thought to Isobel. "Isobel get over to the medical building pronto, something has happened to Kay and she is unconscious". "On my way my Queen", replied Isobel. -------------------------------------------------- Once Isobel got to the medical centre she had to push herself through the mass of people and guards to even get into the door. She went straight in and found Connie, John , Bradley, Paul, Henry and both doctors all starring at Kay lying down on the bed. Isobel put her hands either side of Kay's head and closed her eyes. Something wasn't right this was not a natural collapse. There seemed to be something trying to push into Kay's mind. "John can you do a mind sweep on Kay there seems to be something or someone trying to enter her mind and take control of her", asked Isobel looking very worried. "Isobel you know a mind sweep might hurt her". "John we don't have a choice, at the moment". John was very reluctant to do this but, it seemed he had no choice. Very carefully he touched the side of Kay's head and pushed into her mind. It felt weird pushing into his daughter unconscious mind. He could see memories from her child hood and growing up with Helen and Norman and all the tantrums and trouble she had while growing up. Then he saw her when she started her Job at The White Cat Hotel and then meeting Bradley and mating with him. He saw and felt last night ceremony through her memoirs and then he felt something else trying to push it's way into her mind. He surrounded it in his brain waves and forced it out. He felt the thing what ever it was trying to connect with him but John put up his internal wall and then he felt the presence leave both his and Kay's mind. Kay started glowing again and John pulled out of her mind. Kay opened her eyes and then closed them again as she had a severe headache. "Dad what happened to me", she asked shakily. "You screamed and then passed out don't you remember", asked John. "I remember thinking I would have to watch one of Talbot's men as he seemed a bit weird to me and then I felt something try to enter my mind", Kay replied. Kay then got this funny feeling again and then she knew who it was that was trying to control her. "Bradley, arrest Peter Broadway it has something to do with him. I can feel bad vibes coming from him right now", said Kay in a shaky voice. "Jason get the guards and surround Peter Broadway, he has something to do with Kay's collapse", thought Bradley to him. "Right away," replied Jason. Outside Talbot and the rest of the squad were wondering what was happening because Bradley's guards had just surrounded Broadway and hand cuffed his hands behind his back. Talbot was getting angry and was attempting to get Broadway released as he had no idea what was going on. The rest of the squad were now attack Bradley's pack thinking they were going to be arrested also. All of a sudden no one could move they were all frozen in place as Kay had stepped out the medical centre as she could feel tension in the pack. Kay had done her trick and frozen everyone at the same time. Bradley, John and Kay stood in front of the group. "I know you can all here me, you have all been frozen in place and will be released in a little while. Let me explain why I have had Peter Broadway put under armed guard. My mate Kay as some unusual powers in that she can feel when someone near her is a traitor or even a liar. "As you were all there earlier and witnessed Kay collapsing I will let you know what happened. Some one or something attempted to take control of Kay's mind but, luckily for her, we were able to stop it and banish what ever it was. When Kay came round she recognized Broadway as being the one that tried to attack her and this why he has been arrested. "Now I'm going to have Kay release you from the freeze in time and Broadway will be taken to the holding cells to be questioned later", said Bradley. Kay started to glow a bit and then held her hands down towards the ground in front of everyone and thought of the word release and move. Talbot made a grab for Broadway and punched him hard in the stomach. He looked him in the eye and then asked. "Why have you done this?" Broadway just started laughing and then he said to Kay, "He is coming for you and he will get you nothing you do will stop him". "Before you take him to the holding cell search him and bring to me what he has in his pockets," asked John. Then everyone entered the mansion and went into the dining hall as time was getting on and it would soon be time for lunch. -------------------------------------------------- Lazlo's Underground Hideout. Arthur Brownlow had been busy devising a plan to get his mate Sally and some others out. There were a few of Lazlo's men who wished they never got involved in his lunatic ideas and Arthur had been rounding them up. As soon as Lazlo went to his all day meeting, he would get things organized and get together anyone wishing to go with him and the captives including his mate away from here. "Brownlow!" shouted Lazlo. Brownlow ran to Lazlo's office. "I've been called to an earlier meeting and I'm leaving in an hour. I will be gone all day, probably won't be back till the morning". "Yes sir," answered Brownlow. This is our opportunity to go he thought. "Because I'm going off world for my meeting, I'm taking the guards with me and just leaving a skeleton staff here. Make sure everyone is secure and before I get back move Sally into my room tonight and I will play with her when I get back. Make sure the big chest which is just inside the playroom is also in my bedroom you got that". "Yes Sir," replied Brownlow. "Ryan Crow should be here later tonight bringing the princess back here. Once he gets here secure her in the dungeon with the others understand", said Lazlo sharply. "Yes sir", replied Brownlow. Brownlow went into the kitchen to his friend Robin and told him to put some food and first aid supplies together as they were getting out this afternoon. Eventually Lazlo left with his guards in 4 Large Red SUV's. As soon as Marmaduke had seen him pass through the old station bridge he called Brownlow. "Arthur they have just crossed the Bridge." "Good," replied Brownlow. "Can you switch off the perimeter defences so we can get out?" he asked "Yeah no problem, do you want me to do it now?" "In about 30 minutes please," replied Arthur. Arthur ran down to the dungeon and was met by Gary and Mark they were getting the two girls that had been locked in the dungeon out. Brownlow was disgusted the way they were. He knew Angelica had been here over 18 years locked in the dungeon. She was a mass of bones and had so many scars on her you could just make out her features and she looked so sad all the time. Brownlow had not seen Angelica in a long time as that thug Braddock looked after her. There was no way she was walking out of here that was for sure. "Oh god, look at her," said Gary. "I know," replied Brownlow. "Let's get out of here." Brownlow handed Mark a thick blanket to wrap her in as she was freezing cold. She had fresh blood on her back and whipping marks. Arthur was glad they were taking them out of this terrible place. Mark picked her up and thought my god she weighs practically nothing at all it's a wonder she is still alive. In the next cell was Veronica she had been there about 3 months and was chained to the wall. Again Braddock was in charge of her. She had fresh marks of a cat of nine tails on her and was sobbing her heart out. Gary very gently released her and she collapsed into his arms. They wrapped her in another blanket and Gary carried her out. "You have to be quiet," said Arthur. "We are getting you out now." Veronica had only seen Braddock and he was an abusive bastard and she was wondering whether this was some kind of game they were playing with her. They carried them up to the kitchen. Robin was packing a few boxes with supplies. Dennis came in and said he had the last remaining SUV's waiting and had removed the tracking devices. Robin's wife Gwen gave the two girls a drink and then Arthur went up to get Sally. Sally was still asleep. Brownlow slipped into his room and got her a pair of sweats and then went to wake her. "Sally, get up I'm getting you out of here," said Arthur. Sally opened her eyes and noticed it was the same man who had helped her before. "Come on we have to be quick," said Arthur. "What's your name and why are you helping me?" she asked. "My name is Arthur Brownlow and there are a few of us who have had enough with Lazlo and we are getting out." Sally quickly dressed but found it still hurt to walk so Arthur picked her up and carried her down to the kitchen. It was a bit crowed in there now as the servants were coming as well; they had all been mistreated by Lazlo's guards. So now they were taking about 20 people out. Just as they were about to go out the back door Angelica spoke. "Please, please we have to get my daughter Zina she is been held in the lower level dungeon". "Oh god no", cried Gwen. Brownlow was thinking fast he knew the lower levels would hold about 12 cells but he had no idea who was in them if anyone was in them at as he had never been down there before. "Marmaduke, do you know whether Zina is in the lower level dungeon", asked Brownlow. "There are about 10 prisoners in the lower level and some have been there a long time, on the close circuit TV you just can see the door with the bars across. I have no idea who is down there and what state they are in", he replied. "I think we go with who we have here and when we get to The Black Wolf Compound we ask them for some help to get them out", said Brownlow. "Ok Marmaduke go and switch off the outer defences", asked Brownlow. Marmaduke went to the security room and switched off the outer defences and then picked up the fire extinguisher and hit the control panels and the monitors smashing them all up to bits. He wanted to make sure that Lazlo would have a hard job following them. Marmaduke walked into the kitchen and everyone went out the backdoor and got in the SUV's. Veronica and Angelica were held by Gary and Mark as they were so frail and needed support. Arthur carried Sally as she was still in some pain from the treatment that Lazlo had given her. Marmaduke and Dennis got in the driving seats and off they went. It was easy getting out of the tunnels and across the Bridge. Brownlow knew they had to make for a safe place and quick because if they were caught by Lazlo now they would be in serious shit. They would all end up dead he knew that for certain. Brownlow decided the safest place to be would be at The Black Wolf Compound and hoped they would give him and his group a safe place to stay and help with the girls, as they were in a bad way. -------------------------------------------------- At The Black Wolf Compound. It took them the best part of 2 hours to get The Black Wolf Compound. Arthur Brownlow passed Sally to Robin to hold while he went and talked to the guards on the main gate. "State your business," said Brian. "I've come to see your Alpha in regards to giving us a safe haven as we have all come from Lazlo's underground hide out." Brian's ears picked up when he said Lazlo. Brian sent word to Bradley that the people from Lazlo's had arrived at the main gate and Travis and Eric were checking them out. Travis and Eric went towards the SUV's and each went to the drivers windows. "Get out please," asked Travis and Eric. Marmaduke and Dennis both got out at the same time. They could see that these men were both heavily armed. Travis asked them to stand off to the side while they checked the passengers. "Oh god. Eric come here quick," said Travis. Travis was looking at Angelica and she was in a real bad way. From what he could see there wasn't one part of her face and hands that wasn't covered in bruises. She seemed to have more bruises than skin. Travis thought to Bradley. "My alpha the two SUV's have arrived and nearly everyone will need some medical treatment but there are 3 women in a very bad way and will need immediate attention". "Bring them up to the medical centre we are waiting for them". "Yes my Alpha", replied Travis. "Right, get back in the vehicles and we will take you to the medical centre in the compound", said Travis. Travis got on the side of one car and Eric got on the side of the other car, each guiding a SUV towards the medical centre. As they got near the medical centre Bradley walked out with Kay to meet them. Arthur got out of the lead SUV and dropped to his knees in front of Bradley and Kay. "Mr. Black we seek refuge from Lazlo as we are fed up with Lazlo's lunatic ideas" said Arthur. "We have a number of injured men and women with us, as well as 3 women that are in a real need of medical attention." Bradley knew he would have to interview these people as soon as he could but, for the moment the important thing was to get them inside and washed and treated as soon as possible. "We will give you Haven here but, we will have to interview you soon. For now welcome to The Black Wolf Pack we are the Alpha's I'm Bradley and this is my mate Kay." "Pleased to meet you," said Arthur. "My name is Arthur Brownlow and I was Lazlo's secretary for over 20 years I'm sorry to say. I will answer all your questions and will gladly tell you all I know about Lazlo and his crazy schemes." "Please come inside and get cleaned up you will find fresh clothes on all the beds for you to wear. Remove all your personal belongings and then put your clothes in the yellow bags provided," said Nathan. Everyone entered the medical centre Arthur went to the van and picked up Sally, Mark was carrying Angelica and Gary was carry Veronica. "These three are the worst and need medical treatment now," said Arthur. "Everyone else is able to walk," said Mark. "Follow me please," said Isobel to Mark "We will check the girls out in the main examination room." The rest were led to the isolation ward and started removing there clothes and heading for the showers. Everyone was relieved to be taking off their clothes as Lazlo kept his servants in mostly rags. Arthur, Mark and Gary carried the girls in and placed them on the examination tables. "Alright you may join the others and we will look after these three now," said Isobel. Gary and Mark went out but, Arthur was still lingering by Sally and didn't really want to leave her. Isobel noticed and went up to him. "She will be fine we will take good care of her I promise," she said. "It's just that she is my mate and I have only just found her and don't want anything else to happen to her please," said Arthur sadly. Isobel took him by the arm, "I will come and find you when we are done ok, now you really must go so we can check on their injuries and start treatment." She said. "Fine, but when I've had my shower and check up can I come back and see her please," he begged. Isobel looked at Nathan. "That will be fine now please go and remove your clothes, have a shower and put on the clean clothes we have put out for you," said Nathan. Arthur left but, he felt really weird leaving Sally, almost as if there was an invisible line pulling him back. He never knew the mating pull could be this strong. Nathan and Isobel turned to the three women lying on the trolleys. All of a sudden Isobel gasped. "Oh my god, it can't be we thought she died years ago". Nathan moved to where Isobel was starring at a very thin woman. "What's the matter do you know her," he asked. Isobel turned towards him and she had tears in her eyes. "This poor woman is Queen Connie's sister," she said. Nathan thought to Bradley. "My Alpha can you come in the examination room now please". "What's up", he asked. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 12 "It seems that one of the women that have been rescued from Lazlo's is Queen Connie's sister according Isobel and the poor woman is in a very bad way". "Be right with you". Bradley pulled Kay away to the side and hugged her real tight. "Honey, can you get your mom and dad to come over here I have something I must tell them now." "Why Brad what's up," she asked. "No, I better tell you when I tell your parents as this is going to come as a bit of a shock to you all." "Mom, Dad where are you"? Kay thought to them. "We are with the magical council in a meeting at the moment", replied Connie. "Bradley needs you both here at the medical centre now as he has something to tell us all and he says we are all in for a shock". "Ok we are coming be right there". "They are on the way," Kay said. Connie and John materialized right by Kay just then making her jump. "What's up that you had to take us away from a meeting," asked Connie. Bradley took them over to the bench just outside the medical centre. "There is no easy way of telling you this, so I am just going to come out and tell you all," he said. Bradley sat down between Connie and Kay and then he told them. "We have just had some people come here seeking Haven from Lazlo's underground hideout and at the moment they are being treated in the medical centre. But there are three women who are in a bad way and Isobel and Nathan were just checking them over when Isobel realized that she knew one of the women," said Bradley. "Who is it," asked Kay and her mom at the same time. "It's your sister Connie, Angelica," said Bradley. "Oh my god," said Connie. "That's not possible there must be some mistake." Bradley held her gaze as she was starring at him. "It is your sister Connie I promise you," said Bradley. She got up and raced into the medical centre. Everyone else followed her. Kay didn't know what to think she had been told that Angelica had died years ago and now she was here and injured. Kay walked slowly into the examination room. Her mom was holding Angelica's hand and weeping uncontrollably. Her dad and Bradley were talking to Nathan. Kay just stood by not really knowing what she should do. Nathan and Isobel slowly moved to Connie. "Connie, you will have to leave now while we clean her up and set her broken bones," said Nathan. "I'm not leaving her," Connie said firmly. "If we let you stay, you have to let us work we can't wait any longer she is in a bad way," said Nathan. "I don't care I'm staying," said Connie glowing a bit. Kay was upset she didn't want to see the injuries that evil bastard had caused her Aunty. But something was holding her there and she moved towards her Aunty. Kay touched her and immediately she was seeing a dungeon and a little girl as well as Angelica. The little girl was tied up and Angelica was hanging on a chain in the middle of the room. There was a very big man whipping her and laughing at the same time. The scene changed and she saw the little girl dragged off and then the big man was back. "I've took your daughter Zina away and you will never see her again unless you agree to help us," said the big man. Angelica started crying she knew she would have to help them eventually but she couldn't betray her sister. The big man started whipping her and whipping her and she was screaming in agony as he was laughing his head off. Next the scene changed the woman was cradling her daughter and sobbing in a very dark cell with no light on at all. The daughter was about ten and was so thin and bony. The big man came in grabbed the daughter and said, "You are wanted upstairs." Kay could hear screaming coming from another cell and realized she was in some kind of underground hide out and seeing her Aunties past years and memories. The scene changed again Zina was now 18 years old and still very thin in a very dark cell below the dungeon where Angelica was been held she was covered in whip marks and what looked to be like burn marks on her skin Kay then realized what Angelica was trying to tell her that her daughter was still there in the dark cell. Kay opened her eyes and everyone was starring at her. Kay collapsed into Bradley's arms sobbing her heart out. "Honey what on earth is the matter" asked Bradley. "I've just seen a bit of what my Aunty has been through but most importantly, she has a daughter that is still at Lazlo's. She is being held in an underground dungeon below the one where her mother was," replied Kay sobbing. Angelica very slowly moved her hand. "Please you have to get her before they discover I'm gone. They will torture her I know, they have tried no end of times to kill her and me but we are both immortal and can't be killed," said Angelica pleadingly. Connie held her hand. "Angel I promise we will get her somehow," said Connie Kay was still holding on to Bradley she felt so sad and angry for what had been done to these women by Lazlo and especially her Aunty and her daughter Zina. "Brad we have to get her out of there before it is too late", said Kay through their link. Brad replied, "I promise we will get her if it is at all possible". Bradley and Kay walked out into the main part of the treatment area where the nurses and some volunteers were helping clean up the rest of the men and women that had come from Lazlo's. Some had whip marks on their backs and some had open sores and wounds as well. All the servants seemed to be human. They all looked very scared. Bradley spotted Arthur lying on a trolley while Lisa one of Nathan's nurses was cleaning the large laceration on his back. "Arthur I need to ask for your help." "Anything I can help you with I will," replied Arthur. "Do you know if there is a girl still left at Lazlo's under the dungeon." said Bradley. "Yes, I was going to ask you for help getting the people out in the lower dungeon. Marmaduke thinks there is about ten more prisoners down there and most of them have been there years. Some of them were brought in the same time as Angelica", replied Arthur. "I know that Zina was born in the dungeon as Angelica was pregnant when they brought her in. I also know that Lazlo trained Zina to become his sexual toy that he would fuck on and off. He uses all the captives like that and he owns a bondage club and they are used there also". "Oh god, he is a sick bastard", said Kay. "Yes over the years he has got worse and is power hungry, we were all his slaves, the only ones treated with any sort of respect were his elite guards which are very loyal to him". Brownlow was trying to think what the under ground dungeon would look like now as he had not been down there for years. He knew Lazlo kept the slaves for the club down there and that Braddock the evil bastard was in charge of them. "If she is still there then she must be got out before tonight because Lazlo will either be back late tonight or early tomorrow", said Arthur Brownlow. "How are we going to get her out there," asked Kay. "I don't know but it must be done," replied Arthur. Bradley was thinking and through his link to his Beta's and Jason he called an emergency meeting. -------------------------------------------------- Else where. Connie was still in the medical centre watching over Angelica. Angelica had to be sedated as she was determined to get her daughter back no matter what and had been attempting to get up and get to her. Veronica was now in a side ward and was in plaster as her left leg was broken and her right wrist was broken also. Her back had been treated also as it was covered in fresh whip marks. So she was lying on her tummy and had been sedated. Sally had been treated and put in another side room. She was bruised internally through been raped by Lazlo but she had been told by Isobel and Nathan that she would still be able to have children as this had been worrying her. She had also been given some painkillers and something to make her sleep. Kay was in the office with Bradley and his Beta's and they were having a heated discussion about the rescue of Zina. Kay thought to herself. The easiest way to get her back would be for someone to sneak in quietly and quickly grab her and get out again before Lazlo discovered anything. Bradley was getting angrier by the minute. "THERE IS NO WAY YOU ARE GOING AND THAT'S FINAL", yelled Bradley. "But Brad, it would be easy for me and Mom go, we could teleport into the underground dungeon get Zina and get out again unnoticed", replied Kay "I SAID NO", Bradley shouted. "Besides you heard Brownlow there is ten people that need rescuing not just Zina", said Bradley still very angry. Everyone that was in the mansion could here what was going on in the office. They had never heard their Alpha's argue before and some were a bit upset about it. "FINE", Replied Kay. She slammed the office door vibrating the whole frame and stormed out of the mansion heading to the medical centre to talk to her mom. Kay was furious with Bradley. She wanted to go get Zina herself with her mom they could teleport there and back quickly. Bradley tried to reach Kay through their bond but she had blocked him out. He knew that she was angry with him but, he was only trying to protect his mate. Couldn't she see that? Kay was all set just to go off and get Zina without Bradley being their. By the time she got to the medical centre she was glowing bright red she was very angry with him. Her dad met her at the door and tried to calm her down a bit by giving her a hug but Kay's skin was burning up badly as the anger was feeding the fire inside her. John knew that Kay had to let the anger go or something could happen without due care. "Come on honey, calm down please", said John Kay wasn't listening to him she was starring at the wall just outside the medical centre all of a sudden it started to glow red and then went white hot and then it exploded with a load bang which brought everyone running to see what had happened. John was gob smacked he knew he had a powerful daughter but this was something new even to him. Kay was now shaking all over and was saying over and over. "Oh God No, Oh God No, Oh God No" said Kay. Bradley got to them quickly with the Beta's and the royal guards and everyone else running towards them. "What happened", asked Bradley. "The wall just exploded", said Jane Zippy and George, Bungle and Jeffery were standing around Kay trying to protect her from the throng of the pack surrounding them. John turned round to Bradley. "What did you say to her to get this angry", he said John was starring at Bradley and Bradley was starring at where the wall used to be. "We had a row in the office", replied Bradley "How did Kay manage to explode the wall like that?" he asked John. "She was glowing bright red and starring at the wall and then the wall glowed red for a while then the bricks turned white hot and then it just blew up", replied John. Kay was holding on to her father now and shaking like a leaf. She was no longer glowing but she was still quite hot. Connie came out of the medical centre and wrapped her arms round Kay so she was sandwiched between her parents. Through their link Connie said to John "I'm taking Kay to our room, she has to calm down and she won't be able too here". "I'm coming too". Then just like that all three of them disappeared. Bradley again tried to reach Kay through their link but she wouldn't listen to him. After Kay and her parents were gone Bradley was starring at the place the wall had been and couldn't believe it had just exploded like that. Maxamillion put a hand on Bradley's shoulder. "You know you are going to have to be careful with Kay for a while until her powers stabilize otherwise this kind of thing will keep happening when she is angry", he said. "Has anyone ever been able to explode walls and things before now", asked Bradley. "No, not that I know of anyway", replied Maxamillion. "I will have to check with the magical council, but I'm pretty certain this has never happened before". Just then Isobel came out of the medical centre carrying her little blue jar of paste she uses on Kay. "Bradley, Kay is with her parents in their suite and they have managed to calm her down some, she has some new blisters on her back and needs this paste, but I cannot leave Angelica at the moment", said Isobel. "Don't worry I will take it to her", replied Bradley. Bradley walked back to the mansion and up to Connie and John's room. He was wondering what he was going to say to try and calm this situation down. Bradley tapped on the door and the door opened and John looked at Bradley. "You had better not upset her now, as we have only just managed to calm her down". "I won't I promise, I've got the cream for her blisters off Isobel, can I come in please", asked Bradley softly. Bradley knew that he had managed to not only upset Kay but, her dad was none too pleased with him either. John led Bradley over to the couch where Kay was lying with her head on a pillow. Her mom had put a cloth on her head and was trying to keep Kay calm. "Honey, I'm sorry for shouting at you. I just want to keep you safe, you mean the world to me and my life would be over if I lost you", said Bradley gently rubbing his knuckles on the side of Kay's face. Kay turned her head to face Bradley tears were slipping down her face. "I know you want me safe and I know you love me but, when you shouted it brought back so many memories of when I was growing up. Helen was always shouting at me and locking me in the cupboard under the stairs. "All I want is to help rescue Zina and get her home to family that can take care of her. I cannot imagine what sort of life she has had for the last eighteen years been shut up at Lazlo's, it must have been terrible for her", said Kay with tears streaming down her face now. Bradley couldn't stand to see Kay cry like this he loved her desperately and he picked up and put her in his lap rocking her back and forwards and running his hands up and down her back in a soothing way. "You know Bradley as much as you don't want Kay to help rescue the remaining people at Lazlo's I think it would be a good idea to take her and me and John as well ", said Connie. "No it would be better if we just took my beta's and maybe some of the warriors that are still here from the surrounding packs", replied Bradley. "And how will you be able to get there and back before Lazlo returns. It took Arthur Brownlow and his men the best part of two and half hours to get here. I think this should be done quicker than that in case he returns while we are there", she replied angrily. Bradley knew Connie had a point and it would be better to get this rescue over and done with quickly. But didn't she understand that he was just trying to protect his mate after all they were going to Lazlo's hideout to rescue these people. What if was a trap and they caught Kay what then. His thoughts were going round and round in his head and then he realized Connie was waiting for a reply. "Fine then, you can all come but at the first sign of trouble Kay teleports back here is that understood". Kay was still lying in Bradley's arms listening to her mom and Bradley argue but when Bradley said she could go she hugged him and kissed his neck over his bite mark she had given him. "Bradley I think it makes sense that my parents and I come with you all we can teleport in and out faster than you can drive over there", said Kay softly to him. Kay knew all this arguing was not only upsetting to her but, to Bradley as well. She also knew that her mate was only trying to protect her. But she hoped that he would not be too protective of her and what she knew must be done for the better. Kay had a feeling that things were about to get complicated. She couldn't put her finger on it but something was about to happen that would cause great problems for everyone. Kay, and Bradley, John and Connie went down to the office and met the Beta's and warriors and Marmaduke there as he knew where on Lazlo's property the under ground entranced to the lower dungeon was. -------------------------------------------------- Lazlo's Meeting off World. Lazlo entered the building as they came through the port hole he had created to get there. This world was called Drayton; it was home to all sorts of evil beings and monsters. Drayton was a funny world as the sky if you could call it a sky, it was red and there was very little light on this world. Lazlo had a castle here because he was known as Sir Lazlo the Evil here on Drayton. His castle was built entirely of black marble with black marble walls and floors in every room. The guards of the castle were nothing like anything you have ever scene before, because they were not human. They were massive white beasts with great big horns on their heads which was only bit that looked remotely human and wings that were hidden from sight until needed. The guards were all covered in armour and their hands and feet had lethal claws on them that could strip a man of his skin in a few short minuets. They were called Threshales and you would not like to get on the wrong side of them. Lazlo entered the castle. "Master welcome home sir", said Wilberforce. Wilberforce was a squat little man in his early sixty's and he bowed as he spoke to his master. "Has Herbert and Langston arrived yet", he asked. "Yes they are downstairs in the Lab with Muller", replied Wilberforce. "I shall be in the lab for a while with them and don't want to be disturbed for anything do you understand Wilberforce", demand Lazlo. "Yes sir, I shall see you are not disturbed", he replied shakily. Lazlo descended the stairs heading for the Lab and Wilberforce went back to the kitchens. Lazlo's men he had brought with him went to their barracks and to see their mates while they were here. Lazlo entered the Lab. "Well Muller how is project X going, do you have any promising results yet", he asked while shaking his hand. Muller started chuckling "Well I have had a development yesterday that is very interesting and we should have it up and running very soon and then you can start faze two of your plan sir", he replied. "Excellent, Excellent", exclaimed Lazlo, looking extremely pleased for once. "Shall we go in the office and discuss your findings", he asked. They all went into the office adjoining the Lab and closed the door. -------------------------------------------------- Back at The Black Wolf Compound. There had been a flutter of activity back at the compound. All the people that had come form Lazlo's had been given medical treatment to those that needed it and they had been given a hearty meal. They all had been probed in their mind by ether Connie or John and found out that most of the servants were captured from the streets of London. Most of them were human with the exception of Gary, Mark, Marmaduke, Arthur and Robin these men were all panthers. Sarah, Samantha and Charlie were now busy getting the new people settled into rooms in the main mansion as some were feeling a bit insecure and it was decided that the main mansion had enough rooms to accommodate the new intake of families. Ryan Crow and his warriors had now all been checked by John and all of them had submitted to a mind sweep and proven that they were indeed glad to now join forces with everyone else and defeat Lazlo the madman as some had named him. Nathan and Isobel were still concerned about Angelica and Veronica and they had been given rooms in the medical centre so they can be watched around the clock.

As usual will you please leave your comments and feedback, so I know that I'm heading in the right direction with this story. Thanks again for your continued support. From Kay ' Enjoy ' A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch 13. Chapter 13: Healing and getting settled. In the Medical Centre John was talking to Nathan and some nurses in the reception area of the medical centre when Kay, Bradley and Phillip walked into the medical centre. He saw Connie coming out of Zina's room. From the short distance away, he saw her look straight at a grievously injured man. He took a harder look at him and suddenly realised who it was. By god that is Phillip he realised as Philip limped into reception area. His wife looked, gasped and then fainted. Before John could move to her side, Bradley managed to catch his mother before she hit the floor. John rushed over to Connie and gently took her from Bradley's arms before taking her into the office with a couch. John stroked Connie's cheek as she came round and she stared at him, wondering whether she had just dreamt seeing her brother. Relieved of Connie's unconscious weight, Bradley led Phillip to the treatment room to permit Nathan to x-ray Kay's uncle's leg to find out the damage done to it. Even to Bradley's and Kay's untrained eyes, in the x-ray on the light box, Phillip's leg looked like it had been broken several times previously. Two of the old breaks had not healed with the bones aligned. "MMMMMMMMMMM your leg has been through a lot; the new break in your femur is a clean break and should be healed pretty quickly. "There and two old breaks though in your tibia that healed, but the bones and not aligned properly, so those will have to be put right by re-breaking them and setting them with pins before you will have full use of that leg", said Nathan. Kay had followed Phillip into the examination room and was just standing by the side watching. Kay had a thought earlier as she had been talking to her mom about her fire element power and the ways she could use it. She knew that the fire element in her could be used for healing and she really wanted to try and help her Uncle. "You may not have to use pins to mend his leg Nathan", said Kay softly. "What do you have in mind, Your Highness?" asked Nathan. "Uncle Phillip, can I take a look at your leg", asked Kay still speaking softly. "I like you calling me Uncle Phillip. Yes, go ahead and take a look if you want to", he replied. Phillip wondered if Kay had inherited Connie's fire elemental magic. He knew, if Nathan did not, that if she had, Kay would be able to fix his leg without need to operate. Kay took hold of her Uncle's leg and closed her eyes; she could see the bones in his leg as if through a haze. It was almost as if she had connected to his inner being. The others watching her saw that Kay was glowing, a warm red colour, and Phillip could feel the warmth from her hands. Kay slowly opened her eyes and spoke. "Uncle Phillip, I can fix your leg for you, but it might be better for Nathan to knock you out while we re-break the old fractures that have healed in the wrong alignment", said Kay. "Kay have your inherited your mom's fire elemental powers, then?" asked Phillip. "Yes and a whole lot more," Kay replied, before continuing firmly, "I will explain tomorrow and show you a bit of what I can do, but at the moment I think it is best to fix your leg" Phillip lay down on the trolley and let Nathan inject him with an anaesthetic to knock him out. Once he was out, Kay moved to his side and rolled up his trouser leg. Nathan took hold of the leg and Mason took hold of his body between them they managed to break and then realign the bones. "Everyone be silent now as I must concentrate for this bit", said Kay, "Nathan you hold the leg straight and keep those bones aligned please. Before I start, make sure the outer security doors are shut and locked as I don't want to be disturbed as I attempt this." Bradley moved from her side only long enough to shut and lock the outer doors. "Now you must not touch me during this at all otherwise you could hurt me as well as yourselves", she said. "Yes, Your Highness we understand", replied Nathan. Phillip was shirtless, leaving both his chest above his heart and his leg easily accessible. Kay walked to the side of the trolley. She put her right hand over his heart and her left hand on his right thigh. The temperature in the room started to rise and Kay's hands started to glow a little red. She closed her eyes and sent out her power through her hands to Phillip's leg and body. The glow slowly spread from her hands, up her arms and soon her body was glowing. The others could actually feel the heat in the room rising as Kay's fire power pulsed through her body and into Phillip, visibly entering Phillip through her hands. Kay could see where the bones were broken and imagined them mended and unscarred again. She pictured in her mind his skin being normal without the ugly burn marks and the marks faded as the pulsing got stronger. Kay felt the bones knit together and some of the scars on Phillip's body were disappearing. Kay remembered what her mom said about the fire element and healing spirit. The energy had to be drawn back into her now that the healing was complete. She knew that it was now time to pull the energy back into herself and release the healing spirit that she was using. The pulsing was beginning to fade and Kay was slowly coming back from her trance-like state. She stopped sending her energy into Phillip and removed her hands from him. She was still glowing ever so slightly when she stopped and opened her eyes. Kay felt exhausted and she knew she had to sit down and rest before she passed out. Bradley noticed how tired Kay was and went to get a chair from the corner and helped her to sit down. Nathan handed her a glass of water. "Are you alright, Your Highness?" asked Nathan. "I will be fine in a bit, just need to rest a while", replied Kay. "Please use the scanner and make sure the bones are in the right place now." Kay knew they were, but she also knew that Nathan would want to check. "They look really good, Your Highness", he replied. "Good, take him to recovery, but I suggest not letting him try walking till tomorrow, and let the legs rest for tonight", said Kay. Mason asked her if Phillip would awake with any side effects. Kay thought for a while and then remembered what her mom told her about the side effects of healing a person with the fire spirit. "The only thing is he may be feeling a little warm when he wakes up, but should be back to normal in a few hours", replied Kay. Nathan opened the doors and wheeled the trolley into the recovery ward. Meanwhile in the ward office, Connie just stared at the wall with tears streaming down her face and thought to herself; how can it be my brother; he disappeared fifteen years ago? How can it be him? How did Lazlo get hold of him? All these questions went round and round in her head. John held Connie's hand and wondered whether she was going to cope with all this pressure. He thought that his family was complete when he was re-united with his daughter and his wife. Now he had a sister, a niece, and a brother-in-law in the short space of a fortnight. Connie turned slowly to John and he put his arms around her while she was sobbing uncontrollably in his arms. She just couldn't get her head round recent events properly at the moment and everything just felt overwhelming to her. While her father soothed her distraught mother in the ward office, Kay came out of the surgical theatre still feeling a little tired and wondering where Bradley was. She found him in reception, which was in utter chaos. Bradley was talking to the guards and giving them extra guard duties to protect the out buildings of the medical centre later that night, as some of the younger patients were feeling a bit scared. Nurses and a few extras were charging in and out with bandages and trolleys. There was screaming coming from the side ward where Kay knew Zina to be. A few royal guards were trying to keep the peace, because some of the new arrivals from Lazlo's prison were panicking a bit. Kay decided to go into Zina's room to make sure she too did not need calming. When she walked in, a nurse was trying to clean Zina up, but every time she went near the girl with the wet sponge, Zina started shouting and hurling abuse. Kay could see the nurse was getting very nervous, and though she was trying not to scare the little girl lying on the bed, the nurse seemed to be making things more difficult rather than easing the tension in the room. "What is the matter with Zina?" Kay asked the nurse. "Well, I have been helping out trying to clean everyone but the showers are full at the moment. Nathan asked me to give her a sponge bath and try and clean the wounds on her back, but she will not let me near her with the water," replied the nurse. "You know if I didn't know better, I'd say she has never seen water before", she said curiously. "According to her mom Angelica, she was born in the dungeon from which we rescued her, and she was used as a sex toy from the age of ten onward," Kay whispered back. "Oh my god, the poor girl, no wonder she is like this! She probably hasn't had any kindness shown to her at all," the nurse whispered back to Kay. "Let me go and see whether the shower is free now," whispered Kay. She went to the showers and noticed the one in the corner that was more private than the communal showers was now empty. It would be big enough to teleport Zina there directly rather than subject her to a walk past all the people in the corridors. Kay spotted Zippy and his brothers in reception chatting to some of the people that had come from Lazlo's and approached them. "Zippy could you make sure no one uses the shower in the corner?" she asked. "Yes, of course Your Highness", he replied. "Also, please assign a guard to stand out side the door. I will be teleporting Zina into that bathroom in a little while and I want to make sure that no one enters while we are there. Zina is a very scared young girl at the moment." After Zippy nodded, Kay walked back into Zina's room. The nurse still hadn't made any headway with Zina, who was now curled up in a tight ball under the blankets and shaking like a leaf. Kay walked up to her and gingerly removed the sheet and blankets covering Zina. "Zina, we are going to take you to the bathroom now. You must have a wash to clean your wounds, so the doctor can treat you", said Kay still talking softly. "Go away, leave me alone, you are just going to hurt me like the others did", she replied getting a little bit hysterical. "Zina calm down, I promise you we are not going to hurt you. We are just going to take you to the bathroom to have a shower", replied Kay. Turning aside to the nurse with a sigh, Kay said, "You know I think there is only one way we can do this safely. I don't think we have much choice this time. I think it would be better if I freeze her in place and then we take her to the shower to clean her up." "Won't she be even more freaked out than what she already is?" asked the nurse. "More than likely but we have to get her clean, I think it is a case of being cruel to be kind", replied Kay. Kay started glowing a bit and then held her hands out towards Zina and thought: freeze . "Now, I know you can hear me Zina, sweetheart, but you just won't be able to move at the moment. We must get you clean so Nathan can check your wounds. I promise we will not hurt you", said Kay, turning to look at the nurse. "Right, now hold on to her hand and I will hold the other one and teleport us to the bathroom." The nurse held on, wondering what Kay meant by 'teleport.' She didn't have time to think much, she suddenly felt as if someone was trying to squash her body up in a very small space. She thought What on earth is happening to me? The nurse closed her eyes and when she opened them again she, Kay and a still-immobile Zina were in the bathroom with the single shower. "I don't think I could travel like that all the time", said the startled nurse, "Felt like my body was being squashed". "Yes it does feel like that the first couple of times, but one gets used to the sensation the more times one teleports from place to place," replied Kay. With Zina now in the privacy of the bathroom, they were able to remove her clothes, and Kay could really see the state of Zina's back. It was covered in old scars that looked like cigarette burns, to the horror of both women looking down at it. Her back was a mess from the whippings she had received and there was a long laceration going from her shoulder blade down to her bottom that was very angry-looking and smelled something terrible. Open sores and blisters covered her back, some of them infected, and Kay new that Nathan would need them cleaned out. Kay soon realized that she would have to unfreeze Zina so they could give her a proper shower. Kay thought to herself, Well this should be fun. I think the nurse was correct, I don't think Zina has even seen a shower, let alone been in one. She looked at the nurse and gravely pronounced, "We are going to have to hold her in the shower while we clean her. I think it would be better if one of us holds her under the water while the other one washes her." With a somewhat aghast look, the nurse said, "I will hold her under the water and you can wash her. I don't fancy washing her very sore back, knowing how much it will hurt her." "Well let's get started then, the sooner we get this over with the better, but we have to be careful not to frighten her anymore than what she is", said Kay. Kay and the nurse removed their shoes and socks, but left the remainder of their clothes on. Kay made sure there were clean towels and a bathrobe in the cupboard before they started. They turned the shower on and got the water to a nice warm temperature and then Kay looked at Zina and thought unfreeze . Zina started screaming and trying to pull away from them. The girl frantically struggled, convinced the water would hurt her, and tried very hard not to get under it. "Noooooooooo, please don't put me under there," screamed Zina. Kay and the nurse tried to put her under the water, but Zina was panicking really bad now. In fact Zina was screaming. "No please, no you are trying to kill me", screamed Zina. "Zina we are just going to wash you, the water is nice and warm and not cold", said Kay gently. Zina was having none of it. She screamed at them. "You are killing me! Murder, murder! You are killing me!" Kay decided to use a bit of magic to put Zina in the shower and hold her in place and let her feel the water on her skin. Kay and managed to get her into the shower with a bit of brute force. Zina was still convinced this was going to be the end of her and they were using this shower to burn her skin off and kill her. When she felt the startlingly warm and completely foreign feeling of water running down her back, Zina panicked and screamed and screamed. "Murder! Murder! You are killing me!" The bathroom door burst open then and Connie came in to see what all the noise was about. "What is going on in here?" Connie asked. "Oh, hi Mom, we are just trying to give Zina a shower to wash all this filth off her and clean her wounds a bit", replied Kay. Zina was now incoherently screaming, without cease. Connie stepped into the walk in shower and put her arms around Zina. Zina sniffed, remembering that smell of the woman who'd taken her out of the dungeon. Just like that, Zina became quiet. "I will wash her. Kay, you hold her," said Connie. "Mom, I wasn't hurting her honest", said Kay feeling a bit uncertain. Kay was wondering whether her mom was angry with her for using her largely untrained, but naturally powerful skills. "Kay honey, I'm not angry with you, but Zina has been through a lot and I don't think anyone has been kind to her in her whole life", said Connie. "I was told by one of the teenagers we took out of there that the prisoners were only washed with a high pressure hose and it was stone cold." "Oh god, mom, no wonder she is so scared", said Kay sadly. Between Connie, Kay and the nurse they managed to get Zina cleaned and dried. Kay and the nurse held Zina under the water while Connie gently washed her with shower gel and a nice soft sponge. It took three times to wash all the dirt and filth off her, and Connie washed Zina's hair four times to make sure they got all the blood and dirt out of her scalp. Zina stood in the bathroom, quite calmly now, and let Connie and Kay dry her with some nice soft towels. They wrapped the girl in a lilac dressing gown to keep her warm. Connie made dry clothes appear for herself and Kay and the nurse before they left the bathroom; they changed before moving Zina back to her room. Kay and the nurse were feeling exhausted by this time and left Connie to settle Zina. As the nurse went to see where else she could be of assistance, Kay wandered over to the Isolation ward, knowing that is where she would find Bradley. Bradley saw Kay and went to her, noting that she looked rather tired. "Are you alright honey?" he asked, a bit concerned as he pulled her into his arms. "I'm fine Brad, I have just being giving Zina a shower and we had to be a bit forceful, as she was convinced we were trying to kill her", replied Kay tiredly. "So that what all the screaming was about, she can scream pretty loudly", said Bradley chuckling, kissing Kay's temple. Just then Nathan came over to them, looking a bit flustered. "Excuse me Alpha, but we have an urgent problem", said Nathan. After Brad nodded at him to proceed and Kay pulled out of Bradley's arms to focus on Nathan as well, Nathan continued, "When we were scanning Phillip's leg after Princess Kay healed it, we discovered a small metal disc imbedded under the skin. I removed it and noticed that it is some kind of tracking device." His expression thunderous, Bradley said, "We had better check everyone that has come from Lazlo's for this tracking device." He got his phone out and phoned his office over in the mansion. Bradley knew Jason was fielding phone calls and securing the compound and surrounding forest by directing the warriors and guardian wolves of their pack, as well as the extra personnel. Once Jason answered, Bradley instructed his Beta, "Hello, yes Jason? Good. Can you get on the loud speaker system and ask everyone that has come from Lazlo's to report immediately to the medical centre please" "Yes of course, my Alpha, what is going on?" Jason asked. "While Nathan was operating on Phillip he discovered a small metal disc embedded under his skin of his leg and I want to check everyone that has come from Lazlo's for the same disc," Bradley replied. "Oh god, do you think such a device would track them to this compound?" asked Jason. "It looks like a very comprehensive tracker so yes I do believe these will track Lazlo's people here", replied Bradley. "I will do it right now," said Jason. Then, Jason mused aloud with the question that had instantly occurred to his Alpha as well: "Sir, if others do have them, the ones who are defectors but not prisoners, do you think they knowingly carried trackers here?" Neither had an answer to give as the phone call severed. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 13 At the compound, the loud speaker system requested everyone who had been transported from Lazlo's report immediately to the medical centre. Inside the medical centre was chaos as people were flooding through the doors. Kay and other medical staff were scanning everyone in the side ward, and Nathan and Mason were doing the small operations to remove the devices they'd immediately discovered were, in fact, in each escapee. As soon as Arthur, Lazlo's former lieutenant among the ranks of the escapees, heard that the tracking devices had been implanted into everyone who had escaped Lazlo, he had a very funny feeling that these were the same as the ones that Lazlo had recently had put in all his guards. But Arthur knew something Nathan and his medical personnel did not: if the devices were the same, the ones put into the elite guards were not just tracking devices, but explosive as well. Arthur watched them remove the device from his leg and nearly collapsed as his eyes confirmed what his mind had only feared, that these were the same devices that were put into the guards. "Arthur, are you alright?" asked Nathan with concern, since Arthur was as white as a sheet and shaking. "Oh god, Nathan these devices are not only tracking devices but they are also explosive as well. Lazlo had them put into all the guards so they would stay loyal to him. One of his guards did something that Lazlo didn't approve of last year and everyone was forced to watch as Lazlo pushed a button and killed the guard in front of us all. I can still see his body exploding from the inside out; it was terrible to watch. I had no idea that he had put them into everyone else though." Arthur still felt very unwell at the memory. Nathan stripped off his medical gloves and left a young doctor to put in the three stitches to close the wound. He went into reception and found Bradley and told him what Arthur had said to him about the devices. He did not need to impress upon Bradley the fact that it now became a matter of even greater urgency, necessitating more nurses to help with the minor operations to get the devices out. "Nathan I think the devices should be put in a lead-lined strong box to interrupt the signal for now, but locked up, and as far away from people as possible in case they are explosive as Arthur suspects", said Bradley. It took nearly two hours to get all the devices removed and to settle people down. Just as Nathan was going back into theatre to retrieve the devices to take to be put in a strong box that was going to be put in the outer bunker well away from the main buildings, Ryan Crow burst through the door of the medical centre. Ryan looked like he was burning up and he was limping very badly. Ryan Crow had only just been released into the main population of the pack and only because he had been subjected to a mindsweep and deemed safe by John and the elders to be allowed to interact with the pack. Nathan rushed to him as his leg gave way. "Quickly, get me a scanner from the side ward I have a very bad feeling about this," said Nathan to a passing orderly. The orderly ran to the side ward and fetched the portable scanner used to scan Lazlo's former prisoners. By the time the orderly returned with the scanner, Ryan was really burning up and Nathan and Bradley managed to get him on a trolley. Both men assisted running it over Ryan's right leg. The leg was red hot and swelling. The scanner blipped and proved that Ryan definitely had a disc in his leg and by looks of it the device had been activated. Nathan paused long enough only to gain the approval of his Alpha, and then wasn't taking any chances, running the gurney straight into the theatre. "Everyone out and stay out till I say," he shouted to the nurses and assistants cleaning up the theatre from the day's previous procedures, "if this device has indeed been activated, I don't want anyone in here." Nathan closed the inside doors as well as the outside doors to theatre two. If there was to be an explosion, Nathan was determined that only he and Ryan would be killed. He prepped the site and made a small incision on the lower leg just above Ryan's ankle and removed the device. This one was slightly different from all of the others: where the devices he had removed from everyone else were grey, this one was red and glowing. Nathan removed it and carefully put it in a box used to dispose of hazardous waste and closed the lid. Nathan cleaned the wound and stitched it up. He dressed the wound and gave Ryan a shot of antibiotics. Nathan opened the inside doors and then the outer doors. "Take Ryan to the I.C.U and keep him under close observation," Nathan asked of a waiting nurse. "Nathan was the device activated?" asked Bradley. "It is different from the rest and it was glowing, so yes I think it must have been activated," replied Nathan. "Where have you put it?" asked Bradley. "At the moment it is in that small box we keep in theatre for HazMat waste" replied Nathan. Bradley signalled Jason and the other the security personnel he'd called over as Nathan went back into theatre to retrieve the box. Nathan then went into theatre one to retrieve the other box containing the rest of the discs and handed them over to Jason and the security team, so they could go and put the in the outer bunker well away from everybody else. Nathan finally took in and let out a deep breath. -------------------------------------------------- At the Compound. It was closing in on midnight when Bradley and Kay left the medical centre and headed back to the mansion. They went into Bradley's office and found John talking to Jason within. "Bradley I think we had better transport those recaptured devices back to Lazlo's tonight", said John. "How do you think we should do that?" asked Bradley feeling really tired. "Well, Connie has already been to Lazlo's, she can teleport just the box over there quite easily", replied John tentatively, knowing that the thoughts of his daughter's husband would immediately go where his, as Connie's husband, had done. Bradley was also not comfortable with the idea of his mother getting near what was essentially an enormous bomb, but he couldn't see a better solution. "Fine, get Connie to do it now; I think it would be best to get those devices well out of the way as soon as possible", said Bradley feeling a little bit better to be rid of them. "What is the urgency to remove these devices tonight?" asked Kay. "Arthur explained that these devices are not only used for tracking but are also explosives as well. Nathan has just removed one from Ryan Crow's leg and it was glowing. I'm not taking chances with everyone's safety, I think that it could explode very soon as it is still glowing. I want that box off pack lands now", replied Bradley putting his arms round Kay. "Oh my god, that Lazlo is pure evil, how can he do such a thing?" said Kay getting angry. "I cannot believe what he has done to those poor people we rescued from his dungeon", said Kay she was leaning her head on Bradley's shoulder now feeling rather sad and shaking with rage. Kay could feel her tiger pacing in her mind wanting to rip Lazlo apart and answer for his crimes. Bradley was trying to think of a way of cheering her up and thought of an idea. He would have to wait till they were on their own and then he could put his plan into action. John left to ask Connie to teleport the tracking devices back over to Lazlo straight away. Connie focused on the box and imagined it back in Lazlo's dungeon and the box disappeared. -------------------------------------------------- At Lazlo's Hideout. Lazlo had not come back yet to his underground hideout, but the three guards Lazlo left there had just come round after Arthur Brownlow drugged them as he made his escape. Conscious, the guards were tied up in one of the main rooms downstairs, tied together in a circle around one of the central pillars in the main dinning room. "Can you move?" one guard asked the others. "No, my arms they are too tightly tied to this pillar, but I can move my legs", replied one. "I can only move my legs too", said the other. All of them knew when the boss got back there would be hell to pay and most likely end up with their deaths. "We have to get out of here before Lazlo gets back; otherwise we are dead men." "That is a done deal but, you know as well as I do we all have these tracking devices in our legs and you know what happened to our colleague who angered Lazlo last year, don't you?" "Even if we did manage to escape these bonds there is no way to escape Lazlo, he will just blow us to bits." "Well, I guess all we can do is wait and pray he listens to us and doesn't kill us." Even as he said it, the guard knew it wasn't possible that they would survive, but felt he had to give the other two hope. Just then they heard the cars pulling up outside and then they heard the sound of booted men coming in the front door. "BROWNLOW! WHERE ARE YOU AND WHY ARE THE MAIN GATES UNMANNED AND WIDE OPEN?" Lazlo stormed in the dinning room. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?" he bellowed at the three tied up guards. Their leader flinched, knowing what he had to say would only make Lazlo angrier. "Arthur drugged us and we think he has gone, the mansion is too quiet." "Braddock take some men and search the mansion from top to toe and then report back here bringing all those that you find," Lazlo ordered. Braddock and his team went out of the dinning room and ran up the stairs; they searched the rooms upstairs and in the servants' quarters but there was no one there. Braddock unlocked Lazlo's door as that was where the girl should have been tied to his bed but, she was not there either. Braddock had a funny feeling that everyone had gone. He hoped they hadn't emptied the dungeon; he had been thinking all day that he fully intended to have some fun with the girls locked in there. On that thought, he went down to the cells and immediately saw that they were empty. Braddock went down to the lower dungeon wondering where the five dogs that were his beloved pets might be. When he got down into the lower dungeon, he found his dogs in a cage in the corridor and then he realized all the cells were empty as well. The boss is not going to like this at all; they have even taken the mad tigerman that was locked in the end cell, he thought to himself uneasily. Braddock met the men in the entrance hall. "Did you find anyone?" he demanded, only to have his subordinate report that they were unable to find anyone. With no small amount of dread, Braddock entered the dinning room and saluted his boss. "I'm sorry sir, but everyone has left, apart from these three," said Braddock., indicating to the three guards. "Are the prisoners still in the dungeons?" demanded Lazlo. "No sir. All are gone, even the mad tigerman and everyone in the lower levels." "WHAT?" boomed Lazlo, "ALL THE PRISONERS HAVE GONE?" "Yes sir," replied Braddock bowing before him, thinking about killing and being the messenger. Lazlo pushed passed Braddock "Out of my way," he snarled, "I want to see this for myself." Lazlo went down to the lower levels and he could be heard all the way upstairs. He was not happy at all. Lazlo came back to the dinning room. "Release these men", he said of the still-tied guards, to Braddock. The three men were just standing up and stretching their arms and legs out. None of them could believe they were going to live; they honestly thought they were going to die. Lazlo was so angry he went over to his desk in the corner and removed his gun and shot and killed the three guards before storming off to the control room only to discover it was totally destroyed. "I will get my revenge on whoever foolishly thought they can escape me, and those who aided them. Escape from me? I don't think so," he added gleefully. Lazlo opened his briefcase and retrieved his laptop. He checked on the state of the tracking devices, but no signal. Lazlo knew the liberators -- who he strongly suspected were the Black Wolf Pack and its allies with help from Arthur Brownlow and the other missing guards -- might have destroyed the tracking equipment, but he could still access the explosives, on a different wavelength than the tracking mechanism. Lazlo inputted all the names and tracking device numbers of the servants, prisoners and missing guards for good measure into his laptop and then pressed the enter key. Lazlo waited for the sound of a distant explosion; instead, there was an enormous roaring detonation much, much closer. The whole mansion shook underground, and the central pillars started to crumble. Lazlo sat stunned, until Braddock jumped from the chair beside him. "Braddock where do you think you are going?" bellowed Lazlo. Braddock wasn't listening all could think about were his pets. The explosion was in the lower dungeons. Braddock charged down the stairs but couldn't get down too far, as the stairwell had collapsed. He ran out into the compound and ran over to the punishment block and entered in the side door. The dungeon was in a state he could here his dogs whimpering amongst the rubble. The cage they'd been in was now crushed, with tons of detritus from the explosion. He knew from his earlier search that the dogs were in their cage, so he used his bare hands to remove the bricks and get to his dogs. Three were dead, but amazingly two of his beloved pets had survived. Braddock managed to get them free but they needed medical treatment now otherwise they would die. He re-entered the mansion carrying both his dogs in his arms. The dogs were a mess and needed treatment. Amazingly, since he did not have the same regard for other people, Lazlo had always had a soft spot for dogs. "How are they?" he asked. "They need to see a vet now, otherwise I will lose them both", replied Braddock sadly. Braddock too might treat humans and weres badly, but he loved his dogs. "Salvage what you can and pack up everything in my office. Here is the key to the safe empty the contents into the briefcase you will find in there and put it in my car," demanded Lazlo. Everything was packed into the SUVs and then Lazlo set the automatic destruct device in motion. He and his remaining henchmen now had thirty minutes to clear the area before everything would be blown to bits. They left and had just crossed the bridge when there was a massive explosion and Lazlo's hideout was no more. "We will go back to my castle and make plans there", said Lazlo. They drove away and Lazlo thought to himself. I will find you Brownlow, and everyone that has escaped me and you will all be destroyed. I must bide my time for now, but I will get my weapon up and running, and then I will have my revenge. -------------------------------------------------- At the Black Wolf Compound Finally, everyone was settling down for the night. The patrollers for the night were all in place and the compound was bathed in floodlights. Betas Riley and Eric had built a campfire just behind the mansion and Charlie had set up the BBQ with steaks and burgers and sausages cooking on it. Everyone that was still awake was sitting round it. Some were just chatting and unwinding while eating the late night snacks on offer. A few wolves and cats were hunting in the woods. Kay was lying with her head on Bradley's lap listening to the chatter going on around her she was still feeling tired from healing her Uncle's leg. Bradley was thinking maybe it was time to retire to their room so he could put his plan into action to cheer Kay up; he was getting horny thinking about what he intended to do to her. He loved the feel of her skin and he was absently stroking her arm while thinking about what he wanted to do. All of a sudden Kay sat straight up and started to glow red. "Honey what's the matter", asked Bradley. He couldn't hear anything out of the ordinary. There were no strange smells as far as he could tell. "Bradley someone is approaching the main gates, they are crying and bleeding", Kay said. Kay, by this time was getting worked up, her tiger was pushing through and then she changed very quickly. Bradley quickly removed his clothes and changed into his wolf form. The pack that was sitting around the fire knew something was happening. The non-pack warriors and Betas all changed into their wolf or cat forms and followed their Alphas running towards the main gates. Martyn check the forward cameras on the main gate and see whether you can pick up anyone there? Bradley asked through his mind to the security chief. My Alpha, there seems to be two youngsters approaching the gates and one is carrying the other one, Martyn replied. How far away? asked Bradley. They are practically at the gates now, replied Martyn. The pack and the Alphas came to a stop by the main gates. In the hut by the main gate, the guard on duty there commanded "Halt, state your business!" in a loud voice. "Please sir, we need help. My sister and I were travelling to here in our parents car when someone forced it off the road", said the young lad in a shaky voice. "Where are your parents?" asked Bradley, taking over the questioning. "They are trapped in the car, our mom told me to take Katie and go get help", replied the kid. Bradley could smell the fear coming off the young lad and he could also hear the little girl, Katie's, heartbeat getting slower. "Open the gate", said Bradley. The gate started to open and the young lad was grateful until he saw all the weres standing just behind the gate. He knew the black wolf was the Alpha, but it was the large pure white tiger that got his attention. The boy was a were also and they belonged to Willy Carpenter's pride of black Jaguars. There weren't many of them left in the pack; Willy was getting weird in his old age, and his pride was starting to drift away. There had been a fight this evening and many of the families left to seek refuge with other prides or packs in the area. The boy's dad had decided to go to the Black Wolf Pack and ask for help. Bradley knew the two before him were Jaguar weres. "Honey, he is a Jaguar and he seems to be a little scared of you", said Bradley to Kay. Kay glowed red for a bit and then changed into her human form so she could put the child's fears to rest. She made a robe appear and put it on. "Jason take some men and go help this boy's parents," ordered Bradley. "At once, my Alpha," replied Jason. "This is my sister Katie", said the lad feeling a bit less scared now the tiger was gone. "Let's get you and Katie in the medical centre", said Kay. Bradley went towards the young lad and gently lifted little Katie out of the lad's arms. "What is your name?" asked Bradley. "My name is Peter, sir," replied the lad. "Well Peter, let's get you both checked out while my men help your parents from the car", said Bradley. Bradley then telepathically called to Nathan, Nathan, meet me in the medical centre and wake up Mason as well will you? What's up, who is hurt now? Nathan sent back. We have had a family come to the main gates asking for help and their car has been ran off the road just outside the compound replied Bradley in Nathan's mind. Be right with you my Alpha replied Nathan. Nathan got to the medical centre and was just setting up a treatment room with Mason when Bradley walked in carrying little Katie. "Ah, she is a Jaguar", said Nathan They set up the portable x-ray machine and scanned the little girl's body. She had a broken arm and wrist on her right side and three broken ribs, as well a long gash down her left side. Nathan and Mason set to work. Peter was in the other treatment room been looked at by Jane, the nurse. A White Tiger and The Wolf Ch. 13 "Oh Jane, did Nathan get you out bed", asked Kay. "No Princess, you didn't see me earlier, but I was around the campfire, so I felt I had better come here and help", Jane replied. "Princess?" enquired Peter, "are you really a Princess?" Kay chuckled because Peter seemed a bit gob smacked. "Yes Peter, I really am a Princess." "How is he, Jane, has he got any broken bones?" asked Bradley as he came in from the other room. "No, he is fine, apart from a few cuts and bruises", replied Jane. "We will leave you to clean him up and we will back in a little while", said Bradley. Bradley and Kay walked outside and were met by Jason, who was ready with a report. "The children's parents are in a bad way and have lost an enormous amount of blood," said Jason. "Where are they?" asked Bradley. "That's just it, I think it would be better for Princess Kay to teleport them here. I think if we tried to carry them we would do more harm than good," said Jason sighing. "Fine but your guards go with you", replied Bradley, looking at Kay with concern. Kay and her four guards followed Jason, in their wolf and cat forms to get there quicker. "We have managed to get them on the ground", said one of Jason's team who'd waited at the crash site. Kay was quick to reply, orderly in crisis. "Thanks, make the car safe and push it off the road. We will get the tow truck to pick up later and then go back to the compound." She turned to the captain of her guards, "Zippy, you and the others position yourselves around these two lying here, make sure you are holding hands with each other and the injured." Everyone held hands and some of them held the breath because of they knew what was coming, having previously been teleported and the accompanying feeling like one was being squashed into a very tight place. Kay transported everyone straight to the medical centre. Nathan and Mason were waiting for them. Kay floated the bodies of Katie's and Peter's parents onto stretchers so that they could be examined. Kay left Nathan and Mason to work and went in search of the children. Jane had already put little Katie in a side ward and her brother Peter was fast asleep in a bed right next to her. "I've given them something to help them sleep", said Jane, "Nathan thought it would be for the best". "Thanks", replied Kay. Kay didn't know what it was but, she felt drawn to these little children and she tucked them in and kissed them on their foreheads and then left the room. Bradley was in the hallway talking to Mason. "I don't think we can do much for them. They are both in critical condition, not only from the blood loss, but also the internal injuries. The mother has a shattered pelvis and two broken legs. Her seat belt was on and crushed her chest and she has extensive bruising to her chest and back. The father is just a mess; nearly everything is broken both his legs are smashed to bits and Nathan reckons even if he does live through this he will never walk again", said Mason seriously. Kay couldn't help it she just started to cry just thinking that these poor parents may die. Tears were streaming down her face. Bradley went to Kay and took her in his arms trying to give her some comfort. Kay was thinking that she could have helped them if she hadn't healed Phillips leg earlier. Kay knew to heal them from these injuries would take an enormous amount of energy and there was no way she could help them alone. She was feeling helpless and getting more and more upset. Back at the Mansion, Connie woke up and could feel her daughter's heartache. She woke John and they got dressed quickly and teleported straight to their distressed daughter. Kay jumped when her parents suddenly appeared in front of her and she was enveloped in a hug with Bradley and her parents. Kay was still crying and Connie was worrying a bit, needful to find out what had Kay so upset. "Kay honey, what is the matter?" asked Connie. "Oh god mom, we had a family of black Jaguars come to us for help not so long ago," said Kay still crying. "What is the matter with them?" asked Connie. "Their car was forced off the road just outside the main gates and it crashed into a tree, which then fell straight over the car, crushing it", replied Bradley still trying to calm down his mate, who seemed unable to answer through her tears. "How is the family?" asked John. "The children are not too bad. They have been seen to and are settled down for the night," replied Nathan. "It's the parents that are the main concern because they both have terrible internal injuries." "The mother has a shattered pelvis and two broken legs and a crushed chest and extensive bruising from her seatbelt. The father broke nearly everything, and I reckon even if he does live through this he will never walk again," said Mason sadly, reiterating his earlier report. "Mom, I'm not strong enough to heal them they are too far gone", said Kay sadly. "Can I see them?" asked Connie. "Yes you can, but I don't think there is anything we can do for them, other than give them pain killers and watch over them until they leave us for the last time," said Nathan. Connie went into the main side room where the parents had been placed and they were connected to all types of machines and blood and fluid bags were in of their arms. Connie closed her eyes and placed her hands over the mother's heart and then repeated the same process with the father. Nathan and Mason were watching and wondering what Connie was doing. Connie opened her eyes and turned round to her daughter. "Don't give up hope just yet, honey. They are in a bad way, but I think between us we can help them," Connie said softly to Kay. "Nathan I'm going to try something, if it works they should be more or less healed but, if it doesn't then the outcome will be as you suggested," said Connie. "Your Majesty, what do you have in mind?" asked Nathan. Connie went out into the entrance hall followed by Kay and both Nathan and Mason. "Bradley, there is a strong possibility that we can help them, but it will have to be done tonight in the casting room in the main mansion," said Connie. Bradley had no idea what Connie had in mind, but knew if something wasn't done then Peter and Katie would lose their parents and that was for sure. "Alright, I will let you help them within the confines of the Mansion", he said. Isobel was already in the magical room mixing up some more of her special tea for all the injured people who had come from Lazlo's when Connie thought at her: Isobel, can you set up the green crystals and get Jessica and Charlotte to join you there? What on earth do you want the green crystals for? asked Isobel, telepathically. We have to perform a healing prayer tonight on two werejaguars or we will lose them replied Connie. Connie was a little agitated and wanted to get this done quickly. The longer left in this state, the weaker the Jaguars were getting. Look, just get everything ready, I don't have time for this right now these two are in critical condition said Connie getting slightly snappish. Connie broke the telepathic link and came back to herself, and together with the two healers, Kay, Bradley and her husband, Connie removed the unconscious Jaguars from the side room and teleported them, still on their trolleys, to the casting room. They were met by Isobel, and the twin witches, Jessica and Charlotte. Charlotte looked a little funny wearing pink pyjamas with teddy bears all over them. Charlotte was wearing bears, but Jessica was acting like one: dressed in her usual attire of jeans and a T-shirt, she was grumpy as if she had been woken up out of a deep sleep. "John, we are going to need Paul and Maximilian as well as we will need them to help ground us", said Connie. John disappeared and knocked on Maximilian's door. He got no answer so he knocked a little louder. "Alright, alright, I'm coming", said rather bad tempered Max, "What on earth do you want at this ghastly hour?" "Sorry Max, but Connie, needs your help in the casting room urgently, we have a healing prayer to perform on to very badly injured werejaguars". "Fine, let me get dressed and I will join you in a minute," replied Max. While John was waiting on the landing for Max to get dressed he thought to Paul, Paul, wake up and get to the casting room, Connie needs your help urgently. Paul took a while to answer and John was getting slightly miffed about it. Paul do you hear me? Get you lazy arse out of bed and go to the casting room now! said John, getting angrier the longer Paul didn't reply. What John didn't know was that Paul wasn't in the mansion; he was in Martyn's room in his bed, as Paul had found his mate in Martyn, the security chief. At the moment they were locked in each others' arms, cuddling. John, I will be right with you. said Paul. "Mart, I've got to go to the casting room; Connie needs me urgently." Martyn didn't want Paul to go. He had been waiting for his mate for ever and ever, and Martyn's wolf wanted to claim him tonight, right now. Reluctantly he let Paul get out of bed. Paul rushed to the bathroom had a quick shower and got dressed. He kissed Martyn long and hard and rushed out of the door. Martyn turned over and tried to go back to sleep but, found it impossible without Paul there, and his sense of responsibility as security chief making him get up to investigate what had Connie clamouring for Martyn's newly-found mate. He too had a quick shower, and got dressed, hurrying over to the mansion to see what all the fuss was about. When Paul got to the casting room he found that there was a hell of lot going on. In the middle of the floor, lying down on a thin mattress, were two people dressed in hospital gowns. Eight large green crystals similar to the ones used in Kay and Bradley's mating fire ceremony were arrayed around their bodies. He walked into the room a little further and spotted Kay. "Kay sweetness, what is happening here?" he asked. Kay smiled, Paul always called her sweetness when they were little. "We had a family of Jaguars appear at the main gates just after midnight. The family's car had been run off the road. The children are fine and are sleeping but the parents are in critical condition, and my mom wants to try to perform the old healing ritual on them," said Kay giving her adoptive brother a hug. "Oh, good Paul, you're here", said Connie. "Right, everyone not involved in this please step to the side and keep out of the way, no matter what happens", said Isobel. Connie sat at the head and shoulders of the man and Kay sat at the head and shoulders of the woman. Paul sat at the man's feet and Max sat at the woman's feet. Charlotte sat crossed-legged inside a circle of small green stones and Jessica and John sat in the middle of the two adults. John was there to anchor the energy to the Jaguars bodies and keep the power just inside the circle. Jessica had her eyes closed and called upon the help of the spirit that protects all big cats in the panthera genus. "Right, Isobel place the last two crystals directly on their foreheads and six mint leaves over their hearts," asked Connie. Isobel placed the crystals and mint leaves on each of the injured couple lying on the floor and then stepped out of the large circle of crystals. No one watching knew what was going to happen. No one had seen this performed before other than Connie and Isobel. "Everyone hold on to either their head or their feet and remember what ever happens, don't let go," instructed Connie, "Close your eyes and concentrate on healing." Shortly thereafter, the spectators could see the large green crystals starting to glow, and then Connie and Kay were starting to glow as well. Usually, the women glowed red when they were performing magic, but at the moment they were both glowing green. The glow seemed to be spreading down through their bodies to their hands and then into the human forms of the injured big cats. Connie and Kay chanted and Jessica spoke in an ancient language that sounded really odd to the others' ears. Suddenly the glow spread along the Jaguars bodies, the glow spreading to encompass Max and Paul and then Charlotte and John in an undulating green wave. Connie, Kay, Jessica, and Charlotte were all chanting the same very unusual words now, and as the chanting got louder, the pulsating glow got greener and greener and stronger in intensity. A faint humming sound seemed to be coming from the crystals surrounding everyone and even the spectators could feel the power emanating from the people inside the green crystal circle. As Bradley watched, he felt Kay relaxing more and more in her mind and letting her power enter the motionless bodies on the floor. Bradley saw that the leaves over the Jaguars' hearts seemed to shrivel up and go limp and there was a strong smell of mint in the air. The pulsating light leapt back and forth between everyone in the circle and gradually built up till there was a green glow over the entire centre of the room. After a time, the pulsating slowed down and then stopped altogether, as the crystals stopped glowing and were going back to normal. Paul and Max gradually opened their eyes, but still kept hold of the Jaguars feet as Connie and Kay continued to revert back to their bodies. Kay and Connie opened their eyes just as their bodies stopped glowing. "Paul, you and Nathan take them back to the medical centre now as they must rest and we shall see them in the morning", said Connie. Paul and the doctors and Jane all linked hands and made sure they were touching the Jaguars' bodies somewhere and Paul teleported everyone back to the medical centre, with a look of intimate, silent farewell to his mate Martyn, who he now could see had arrived in the casting room. Almost immediately upon his arrival at the Medical Centre, Paul had a strange feeling something was wrong with Kay. He always knew when she was not feeling well or she was sad as they had formed a link when they were younger and even now it was still there. Paul left the Jaguars in the doctors' and nurses' hands and teleported himself back to the casting room in the Mansion, just in time to witness Kay passing out. Kay knew she felt really tired and drained. Performing the healing prayer ritual and healing her uncle's leg earlier had taken a lot out of her. Bradley rushed to Kay's side as she passed out. He picked her up in his arms and carried her into the sitting room next door. Connie and John came in and rushed to her side. "She shouldn't have passed out like this", said John, with concern in his voice. "The healing prayer takes a lot of energy though", said Connie. "She was already tired after healing Phillip's leg earlier on this evening", said Bradley worriedly. "She did what!" asked Connie rather sharply. "She healed Phillip's leg for him earlier on just after he was brought in", said Bradley. "Oh my god, no wonder she has passed out, she's used up all her energy!" exclaimed Connie. Connie went back into the magical room, grabbed two of the smaller crystals and raced back to the sitting room. "Connie, what's happened to Kay?" asked Paul. "She has used up all her energy and we must restore it a bit, otherwise it could be dangerous", replied Connie. "Want some help?" Paul asked. "Yes, you can be my anchor if you don't mind", replied Connie. They both entered the sitting room where Kay was still out cold. Connie had Paul and Bradley place her daughter on the floor. She placed one crystal at Kay's head and one at her feet. Paul and Connie each held a small red crystal in their hands and linked them over Kay's tired body. Connie and both the crystals on the floor and in their hands were also starting to glow. Connie let the energy in their hands build up a little bit and then they both leaned down towards Kay and placed their hands on her body, Connie at the top and Paul at the bottom. Kay's body glowed a slight red colour and then they released her. Kay opened her eyes and wondered why she was on the floor and every one was looking at her worriedly. "What happened to me?" asked Kay. "You just used up a bit too much energy and we had to replace a bit for you," answered Connie. Kay slowly sat up and Bradley bent down, picked her up, and held her on his lap. Kay rested her head on Bradley's shoulder and closed her eyes. Soon she was asleep naturally. "Will she be alright now?" asked Bradley. He was still a bit concerned about his mate. "Yes she will be fine now, I wish she'd told me that she had already used her energy to heal Phillip before we started the healing prayer," said Connie sighing. "You better take her to bed, we better all get to bed as it is nearly 4 am, and I, for one, want a cuddle off my wife," said John chuckling. "Are you feeling neglected dear?" asked Connie turning round to him and putting her arms around him. "My pinkylegs I want you," John said while cuddling Connie close. Connie was thinking about the time they had been apart; she still found it strange at times. John and she had missed twenty years of their life together, but she still could feel the strong mating pull and it was like courting all over again to her. Lately, she just couldn't get enough of him. Bradley started to chuckle at that, and then Connie and John disappeared for the much-needed cuddle. Kay was still fast asleep in his arms and he gently lifted her and carried her to their bedroom, stripped her and lay down to sleep. He was thinking that his little plan would have to wait for in the morning now as his mate was fast asleep and he wanted her fully awake when he made love to her. Elsewhere Paul met up with Martyn in the security room where Martyn was just signing out and they walked hand in hand back to Martyn's house on the grounds beside the mansion. They stripped down and got into bed and fell asleep in each other's arms, alone again at last and ready to dream of the ways they would explore their new mating. -------------------------------------------------- To be continued.
