The woman who was giving me the evil eye? She's gone and she hasn't come back as far as I know. I heard that she was pissed because Vincent lost that night but that had nothing to do with me but personally I think that there's much more to it than that. It's hard to believe that I've been here for a month and it's been the happiest month of my life. Each day I learn a little bit more about each of my guys. For instance, Matt has no problems with being contradicted as long as it's in private; that I found out the hard way. We were at one of the pack meetings when the subject of whether a woman should be allowed to encourage her mate during a fight came up. If you'll remember that subject came up the night of our reception when Vincent and Matt fought for the role of pack leader and I called out to Matt. Well, here we were at the meeting and that was the topic on the table. After listening to several opinions, Matt made his decision; things would remain the same. Without thinking I spoke up. "Wait, we talked about this and I don't think that it's right." The whole room had gone silent as everyone including all five of my husbands eyes were glued on me. I sat down after realizing that I had just made a big mistake. After the meeting was over, Matt looked at me and didn't speak for a few seconds but when he did I could hear the anger in his voice. "My office in ten minutes and you had better not be late." Wow, I must have really screwed up. He was actually there before I was; his green eyes glittered as he looked at me. "Don't ever do that again." he growled, "you are never to contradict me in front of the pack is that understood?" This was about his ego? Now I was mad. "If you want me to play your games then you'd damned well better explain the rules!" I shot back at him, How was I supposed to know that this wasn't a democracy oh great one?" I asked as I bowed before him. "Allie..." he growled. "No damn it! You brought me here and I agreed to come but you didn't tell me what was expected of me or what the rules were except that I'm supposed to be the wife to five of you. I hate not knowing the rules and I hate making unnecessary mistakes now, is there anything else that I should know about you oh great one?" Matt just stared at me without speaking for several minutes then before I knew it, I was naked and laying across his desk with him inside of me as far as he could go and my nipples were being devoured and none too gently, I discovered that I liked a little rough sex. Afterwards, he apologized for not explaining the rules but I did tell him that I wasn't about to promise not to do it again, this was too much fun! Kevin was as alpha male as Matt was. One would think that they would butt heads but they really didn't, not on the major issues anyway. Kevin, it seemed didn't like repeating himself, he fully expected to have your full attention when he was talking to you. Me? I can multi-task with the best of them. I can be doing three different things and hear every word that's being said and can usually respond appropriately note that I said usually. He came into my office the one day while I was working on an article for the website that I still wrote for and kissed my shoulder. I wanted to get my last thought out before I lost it and responded with a quick hello as I typed away. "Allie!" he said clearly irritated. Apparently he had said something or asked me a question that I didn't hear because I was so intent on my work. I stopped typing and looked up at him. "What?" I asked. "I asked that you to come upstairs with me when you were finished." he said in a very cool tone of voice, "now I'm not asking, I'm telling you to get your beautiful ass upstairs now." I knew better than to try to argue with him but I did anyway, I really wanted to finish the article. "Five more minutes and I'm yours to do with whatever you want." I said as I started typing again. "Now." he said impatiently. I hit the save button and went upstairs to the bedroom. Suddenly he was sitting on the bed with me across his lap ass in the air. I was being spanked! The last time I was spanked was when I was six for stealing butterscotch candy from my mother's not so secret stash but it didn't feel anything like this! I could feel his cock pressing against me as he spanked me hard enough that I could honestly say that it hurt but not so hard that it was unpleasant if that makes any sense. I never thought that I would see the day when I would get turned on by a spanking but there you have it. By the time he was done, my nipples and clit were throbbing, and it would only take a touch of a hand or tongue to send me over the edge. He made me wait until he was undressed before he took care of that need. "If you don't want to be spanked again make sure that you're listening when I talk to you." he said as he cuddled me closer. Sure I thought to myself as I fell asleep with a smile. I think that of all the brothers, Louis is probably the least Alpha although not by much. While the easiest going of the five and the slowest to anger, he has his own quirks. He doesn't like being called Louie. One day we were sitting in the enclosed porch just me and him. The others were out and about taking care of some business and Louis had been delegated the guardian husband of the day. "So Louie, how about a walk?" I asked since it was a cold but beautiful day. When he didn't answer, I looked over at him. "Don't ever call me that." he said. "Ok, sorry." I said not quite understanding what the problem was. He stood up, grabbed my hand and spun me around and pulled me back against him. "I hate the name Louie." he growled into my ear as he yanked my pants down, "I really, really hate it." he said as he bent me over the back of a chair and slid into my already wet pussy and began to pound into me. "What's my name?" he demanded. "Louie?" I asked finally catching on to what was happening. "What is my name?" he asked again as he reached around and fingered my clit. Once again I said it was Louie, only when we were both ready to come did I call him Louis and once I did we both exploded. He had to hold on to me so that I didn't fall over. Paul was the gentlest of the five but no less Alpha, he was the one who would try to compromise instead of fighting but if it came to a fight, I had no doubt that he would be fierce if pushed. A day or two after I called Louis "Louie", Paul and I were left alone- are you seeing a pattern here? "What would you like to do today?" he asked. I hadn't given it much thought, there were so many things to learn and I was busy enough trying to figure it all out but a nice back rub sounded good at the moment so that's what I asked for. Without saying a word, Paul took me upstairs and started the Jacuzzi. He stripped himself and then me and helped me in. He sat behind me where Matt usually sat and pulled me back against him. "Close your eyes and let me take care of you." he murmured in my ear. He didn't have to tell me twice. I closed my eyes and let the hot water bubble around me. Paul kissed my neck and rubbed my arms all the while talking about nothing in particular in a soft singsong voice. After awhile, he took my legs and spread them apart putting a foot on each side of his outer thighs. "I love you Allie, we all do." he murmured against my neck before giving it a lick and then a suck. His hand found it way between my wide open legs and rubbed my inner thighs. I had given some thought to shaving my mound but when I mentioned it the idea was vetoed five to one with me being the one. That was one of the reasons that I loved these guys so much. They accepted and loved me just as I was and considered me to be perfect although to the outside world I was anything but. They only asked that I be myself and that I love them in return. If you ask me, that's one hell of a sweet deal but anyway, it wasn't long before a finger is inside of me and another is playing with my clit. I felt his cock throbbing against my back and rubbed against it. I felt a gentle bite on my shoulder and I came with his finger inside of me and pressing on my clit. I pressed back against him and rubbed my back against his cock, a moment later he moaned against my head as he came. We spent the next two hours in bed with me getting probably the most erotic massage known to man; yep I was one lucky woman. Last but not least was Tony, with him there were no games, and it was all very straight forward. Remember that he's also the one with the greatest stamina. As with all of the others, we were left alone to our own devices and it wasn't long before we were where we both wanted to be, in bed. Did I mention that this man could work miracles with his tongue? As soon as we were in bed, his face was in my crotch eating me as if I was the tastiest dish on the menu. As he licked and nipped at me, I pinched and rolled my nipples adding to the pleasure. When I came it was with a scream that I'm sure carried clear down to the kitchen. Before the orgasm was over, Tony was sliding in and out of me with a leisurely pace, telling me the whole time how good I felt. We spent the entire day in bed only getting up when we heard the others return. The nights stayed the same, we all made love together until I was too exhausted to be an active participant. I now understood what the game was, if I wanted a little danger and a little rough love making, I would contradict Matt in public on something minor. He was totally serious about not being contradicted in public so I had to be careful on what I contradicted him on. If I was in the mood for a little punishment, I ignored Kevin when he talked to me, if I just wanted a fast quickie, I called Louis "Louie" and if I wanted to be cared for then it was Paul and finally if it was a marathon I wanted, Tony was the guy to go to and I could mix and match the flavors as much as I wanted, I just couldn't lose no matter how I looked at it. Sometimes I would wake up during the night thinking that this had to be a dream, no woman is this lucky but then I hear five slightly different sounding snores and feel bodies all around me I know that its real. When I wake up in the night one of them wakes up too, it's like one of them is assigned wife duty or something. Every night it's a different guy, he offers me a drink or asks me if I want a snack and will even go ahead of me and turn on the bathroom light if I have to go. If I can't sleep, which hasn't happened in a couple of weeks; whoever is on "duty" that night stays up with me. The next morning whoever had "wife duty" got to sleep in with me because I am not an early riser. My lessons on turning into a wolf have been funny and frustrating at the same time. Matt keeps telling me that I have to be patient but damn it! I want to turn into a wolf so that I can see what color I am. So far I can change my ears, my nose and my hands- a lot of good that does me but I have to admit that it was getting a little easier to change the parts that I could but I wasn't very impressed with the color, it was an ordinary brown. Matt told me that it could change or that I could be multi-colored, I really hoped so; plain brown is so...blah. Yesterday I was sitting at my laptop writing an article about monogamy (go figure) when my cell phone rang. It was my cousin Dee from California calling because she hadn't heard from me in a few weeks. Of course after we got past all of the niceties, she again tried to talk me into moving to California. "We have a big house with plenty of room and you'll even have your own bathroom!" she gushed. "As tempting as that is," I said, "I really like it where I am." I said not telling her that I had moved. "Allie come on, the kids would love to have you around for a visit at least. What are you doing up there besides feeding lost hikers and doing jigsaw puzzles?" she asked. "If she only knew" I thought to myself. "Dee, I appreciate the offer but I'm happy here and I don't want to leave." I replied. I hadn't even begun to think about how I was going to tell my family that I had not one but five husbands and that they were all white and brothers to boot. How do you even bring something like that up? I could only imagine their shock and most likely disgust especially from her twerp of a husband Cecil. Cecil is a sanctimonious jackass and a closet racist, he was always bragging about how much money he makes and how Dee gets to stay home because of it and he has always considered me a heathen because I don't go to church. And let's not forget the whole werewolf thing, nope; I am so not telling them that. I'd be in a padded room before I could say my name. Her next statement stopped me cold. "Well fine, if you won't come visit us, we're coming to you." she said her tone firm. "Umm Dee, I mean... when were you thinking?" I asked hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon. "The kids are out of school in June and don't go back until August so we thought that we'd take a road trip this summer. We haven't mapped it out yet but plan on us spending at least a week or two at your house, it was Cecil's idea." she said excitedly. My mouth went dry, as I tried to figure out just how much time I had to figure out what to tell them. It was already mid November, that gave me approximately eight months to find a way to tell my family that I was a polygamist. We ended the phone call with promises to talk next week, this wasn't good. Something else bothered me, Cecil. I found it hard to believe that he wanted to come visit me the heathen. Something was amiss but for the life of me, I couldn't think of what it would be. "Hi Baby." Matt said as he came in and kissed my neck. "Hi yourself." I replied distractedly. Matt gave me an appraising look. One thing that I've learned is that it's just about impossible hide anything when you have five husbands. Even if I managed to get by one of them one of the others was on it. "What's wrong?" he asked. I was going to say nothing and then decided to tell him. He listened quietly as I told him about my cousin Dee and her husband the sanctimonious racist twerp. "They want to spend a week with me, a whole week!" I exclaimed, "Maybe two!" I added. "Well." Matt said calmly, "Maybe that's not such a bad thing. We were going to have to tell them about us at some point anyway and that would be a good a time as any." I stared at him like he had grown another head. "You're not serious!" I said completely surprised. "I am." Matt replied, "They don't need to know about the werewolf part but they should know about us, they can even stay here; we've got plenty of room" he added. My mouth dropped open, "Here?" I asked. "Sure, it might just shut your cousin's husband up to know that you're well cared for and that not everyone believes as he does." he replied. He didn't know Cecil like I did but the other thing was this, I didn't want him here; Dee and the kids I could deal with but not Cecil. I know that it sounds selfish and unreasonable but this is my little piece of the world and I didn't want it spoiled by Cecil and his bullshit. "Look, we don't have to decide now...." "Decide what?" Kevin asked as he came in and kissed me. I had visions of repeating the story three more times so I suggested that we wait until dinner and that way I would only have to repeat it once more. "Sounds like a plan." Kevin said, "By the way, what's up with Marshall? He's acting kind of weird." I had noticed that too and wondered about it. I could even pinpoint when the mood change started, it was the night of our reception. He was a nice as ever but something had changed. Kev had just reminded me that I wanted to know what happened between them and Vincent. "What happened between you guys and Vincent?" I asked. Kevin and Matt exchanged looks before Matt spoke. "I would tell you that it's nothing for you to worry about but I know that you won't accept that as an answer so why don't we talk about it after dinner?" he said. It seemed that dinner was going to be very informative. I left the two of them to go to the kitchen to get something to drink. Marshall was in the process of stuffing seven chickens, he seemed so preoccupied and sad that I decided to ask him what was wrong. I hoped that I wasn't breaking any pack rules by asking but he looked so sad. "Marshall? Is everything ok?" I asked. He gave me a weak smile and went back to stuffing the chickens. "Well, ok but if you need somebody to talk to; I'm a pretty good listener." I said and started to walk away. "Allie?" I turned around to look at him. The usual sparkle in his eyes were gone and replaced with sadness. "Have you ever loved someone who didn't want you?" he asked. Of course he would have to bring up something that I knew absolutely nothing about and I was honest about that. "No, I can't say that I have, is that why you're so sad? You love someone who doesn't love you?" He didn't answer for several minutes, whatever it was he was going to tell me he opted not to. "Did you need something? I can fix you a snack to hold you until dinner if you like." he said. "No thanks, Marshall..." "Dinner should be ready around six, any preference as to a vegetable?" he asked. "Umm no but Marshall..." "Alright then, I think that Paul is making the dessert for tonight and I need to get the ingredients ready." I watched as he headed toward the pantry without looking back. I looked at the clock and decided that I had time for a nap. When I passed through the living room none of the guys were there, I found them all in bed, naked and fully erect. "What took you so long?" Tony asked as he patted the empty space between him and Matt. Thoughts of Marshall and his love life flew out of my head as I looked at the five incredibly gorgeous men lying on the bed and waiting for me. I was naked in no time flat and laying in the middle of the bed with hands and mouths all over me, this folks; is my version of heaven. I tried to reach for the cocks nearest me but my hands were gently but firmly restrained by Kevin and Matt who each had a nipple in their mouth. "This is for you, we'll get ours later." Tony said as he held my legs open for Louis who was pleasuring me with his tongue. Paul was at my head stroking and kissing my face, lips and wherever else that he could reach. When I came it was with me screaming into Paul's mouth as he kissed me. As I lay there trying to catch my breath, I heard the shower being turned on and then there were hands helping me up and leading me into the shower. All of them got into the shower with me and washed me clean, when we came out of the shower, I wasn't even allowed to dry myself; it became clear that something was up. Dinner was delicious and even Marshall seemed to be in a better frame of mind and I wondered what had happened. I was famished and ate everything on my plate and some of Matt's who was on my left and Kevin's who was on my right. Dessert was a peach cobbler made from canned peaches and topped with vanilla ice cream. Maybe it was my imagination but food seemed to taste better and making love was better too although I couldn't see how it could be any better than it was. Marshall cleared the dishes and offered me a cup of herbal tea which I declined; I couldn't fit another thing into my stomach. We moved to the living room where Matt sat on the couch and pulled me into his lap, Kevin sat on the other side of him and put my legs over his lap. The other three sat on the floor and put their hands on my legs and thighs. "You first." Matt said. For the second time that day I repeated what I told Matt about the phone call with my cousin. Wolves Ch. 02 "So you see the problem right?" I asked. They all looked at each other and then as one said "No." "You don't see an issue with telling my family that I'm a polygamist and all of you are white and brothers?" I asked. "It seems to me that the only one of us who sees any of this as a problem is you." Louis said softly, "And I really hate the term polygamist at least for us." he added. "No I don't see it as a problem but..." and then I stopped myself, "How do you tell your family about this?" I asked. "How about this, cousin and racist twerp, meet my husbands Matt, Kevin, Louis, Paul and Tony." Paul said, "Doesn't sound too hard to me." They didn't understand and I didn't know how to make them understand that it just wasn't that simple. "Allie, explain it to us. Tell us why this is going to be so hard for you." Matt said. I took a deep breath and tried to gather my thoughts. "Guys in the human world, this just isn't normal and it's unaccepted. It probably happens more than we know but it's not broadcasted and you have to know my family." I went on to explain the long line of Baptist ministers in my family and the views of Cecil my cousin's husband. "He won't let me see the kids again. I know that I don't see them that much now but he'll never let me see them after he finds out about this" I said, "and although he says he believes that all people are equal..." "Are those the only reasons that you don't want them to know about us?" Matt asked. I frowned, other than not seeing the kids and not wanting Cecil here what other reason did he think I had? Then it hit me, he was wondering if I was ashamed of him, of them. I had to make it clear that that wasn't the case. "Matt, I love you; I love all of you and I'm not ashamed of you or that but..." "You want to keep us a secret." Kevin said quietly. "No! I just don't know how to handle this! Come on guys give a girl a break." I said but I understood their position too, "There's more to it than what I'm saying, this is my dream come true. Before you all showed up at my doorstep, I prayed and fantasized for something like this and I don't want Cecil to ruin it." I said. "Allie sweetheart, we understand that you're nervous and a little scared; maybe a lot scared but Cecil will only ruin this for you if you let him and he's not the first racist that we've ever dealt with and he won't be the last. We're not ashamed of you and are proud that you are with us and we don't care who knows it." Tony said as he stroked my leg. Maybe that was the crux of the matter, we hadn't been out as a married group since I got here and maybe it was time for that to happen. And Matt was right, if Cecil ruined this for me, it would be because I allowed it. I'm an adult with all of my mental faculties and I don't have to justify or explain my decisions to Cecil or anyone else for that matter. "You're right." I said, "Maybe we need to start going out in public, I think it'll help." I said. "We thought you'd never ask!" Tony said, "We've been waiting for you to let us know when you were ready to face the big bad world with us." We planned to go out the next evening, there was a hangout where almost everyone was a werewolf but there were other species there too. It would be a good place to start before we branched out into the general population. "They've been wondering where we've been hiding you." Matt said as he gave me a squeeze and a kiss. That still didn't help me decide on what to tell my cousin and her twerp but I had time to figure it out. "Alright." I said, "Your turn; what's the deal with you guys and Vincent?" I asked. "There was a time when we were actually friends." Matt said, "But it all went to hell in a hand basket when Vincent's father started a separate pack within the pack with the goal of taking over the then current leadership which was always in our family. The only way to change that was a challenge exactly like the one that occurred a few weeks ago." "So Vincent's father challenged whoever was pack leader at that time." I said. "Exactly and that would have been our father. By that time it was also clear that the five of us would share a mate which added more fuel to the fire but at any rate, Vincent's father challenged our father for leadership and when it became clear that he was going to lose, he tried to cheat. He allowed himself to be knocked down but it was near one of his followers who was equipped with a hypodermic needle filled with a poison of some sort. Fortunately for us, someone saw what was happening, intervened and the fight ended with Edgar, Vincent's father forfeiting because he cheated or tried to." "What happened next?" I asked totally engrossed in the story. "As alpha, our father had the choice as to whether Edgar should live or die and he chose that he should die. From his point of view if Edgar tried to have him killed once, he would try it again so he chose to eliminate the threat. Vincent, his sister Misty and their mother moved in with Edgar's parents until Lana their mother found another mate and joined that pack. Misty and Vincent came back about five years ago and began to slowly rebuild the pack that had been disbanded when their father died." "You didn't stop them?" I asked. "We knew about them but decided to just watch and to let them know that we knew what they were up to. Their growth was slow but things escalated when we brought you home. Vincent saw an opportunity to take over and then to claim you as his mate before either exiling or trying killing us although I suspect that he would have wanted us dead." Kevin said. "What about Misty?" I asked. "Misty was well... very generous with her body, she fucked anybody who she thought could help her in whatever goals she had set for herself. She thought that she could get into our family by convincing one of us to take her as a mate but that was impossible because she wasn't for us...." "Wait." I said, "Did you guys and her have sex?" Their silence was all I needed to know that they did. "Was it after that that she decided that you were all going to be one big happy family?" I asked. "Well no, she had that idea before that but..." "You took advantage of her?" I asked pissed. "Allie..." "Don't you Allie me!" I snapped, "You knew what she wanted and yet you fed into it by having sex with her?" "Yes but..." Paul said. "But what?" I asked. "If you'll calm down we'll tell you." Matt said. I forced myself to shut up and listen. "Alright." Matt said, "But damn you've got a temper!" he exclaimed before going on. "Once a month, close to the time of the full moon all of the unmated females send out a scent that is all but irresistible to the unmated males, humans call it pheromones. During that moon time she showed up at our camp site and we were unable to resist. Afterwards, we tried to make sure that she understood that in no way did it mean that we were her mates but that was what she started telling other pack members. We ignored the rumors and they eventually stopped. The next moon time, we left not wanting to repeat our experience with her. That one time was the only time that we had sex with her." "But what made her think that you were her mates?" I asked. "Remember when we first found you and we told you that there aren't many women that could handle the five of us? Misty was one of them. Women like you and her are few and far in between so we didn't let any opportunities pass us by. But because of her rarity, she chose to see that as a sign that she belonged to us and it was also a way to get what she wanted, to be the mate of the pack leaders." I understood the looks now; Misty had been dealt a double whammy. She lost her brother and any chance at being the mate to the pack leaders in one night. I felt sorry for her, that had to have hurt but I still had the feeling that I hadn't seen the last of her. I looked up to see Marshall standing by the door and listening, it dawned on me that it was Misty that he had been talking about. I wondered if the guys knew how he felt about her. "Any more questions?" Matt asked. I looked toward the doorway and saw that Marshall was gone. "Just one, did you know that Marshall had feelings for Misty?" I saw by the expression on their faces that they hadn't a clue. "That's why he's been acting so funny." I said. "He never said anything or tried to claim her at least not that I know of." Matt said. "I think he did and she turned him away because she wanted you." "It's true." A soft voice said from behind us, "I wanted her but she wanted you but there was a reason for why I didn't fight harder for her, it had to do with what she believed and what she wanted to do. Up until the night of the challenge, I tried to change her views from those of her brother's. She was planning to try to kill you all off one at a time if she managed to convince you that she was your mate and then she and Vincent would rule the pack. I was planning to tell you but then you came home with Allie and I didn't see the point in saying anything, the problem had been solved. For the past month, I've been in mourning for her and for myself but I'm fine now, there will be another for me someday." Matt eased me off of his lap, stood and went to Marshall. "You should have told us not only about her plans but of your feelings for her. We discussed her in less than complimentary terms and in your presence. As a result, we hurt you and for that we apologize. But how did you know about her plans?" I didn't think that Marshall was going to say anything but when he did, it was with a quiet and graceful acceptance. "I knew of her plans because I followed her home one night. I wanted to talk to her once more to try to get her to change her thinking. I heard her and another wolf talking about the whole thing. You were gone at the time and there wasn't anything that you could have done from where you were. When you came home with Allie, I considered the issue resolved. I accept your apology because I know that you would never knowingly hurt me or anyone else in that manner and also because the things that you said about her were true. I offer my own apology for not coming to you with what I knew but I truly believed it to be a moot point especially after Vincent was defeated and she left. " Matt took Marshall by the shoulders, looked him in the eye and then embraced him; I found out later that the embrace is a part of the whole apology thing. Marshall returned the embrace without hesitation and all was right with the world again. Matt came back to the couch and sat down beside me. "Now for the last topic of discussion for tonight." He said, "How have you been feeling?" he asked. "Good." I replied, "Why are you asking?" "We just want to be sure that you're being taken care of, is there anything that we should know about?" he asked. This was so unlike Matt, he never beat around the bush and frankly, he was making me nervous. "Matt, whatever it is you want to know just ask." I said exasperated. One of my pet peeves was when people pussy footed around. "Are you pregnant?" he asked. I was speechless, pregnant? Granted we'd been making love every night and several times during the day but I was sure that I wasn't pregnant. "No." I said, "Why? Would that not be a good thing?" I asked. "On the contrary, it would be a wonderful thing but we just needed to know so that if you were we could be more careful with you." Louis said. "Alright, that makes sense but there's more so spit it out." I said. "The time of the moon is coming and that is when the chances for pregnancy among the mated are the highest and the lovemaking can be rather...vigorous." Matt said. "What are we talking about here? Whips? Chains? What??" I asked impatiently. "Nothing like that, it's just that we may not be as gentle as we usually are and we needed to be sure that you aren't already pregnant." Matt said. "Is that all?" I asked, "I'm thinking that I can handle it." I boasted. They all looked at each other and grinned, I suddenly felt like I was really in the wolf's den. "Good, now it's time for bed; go on up and we'll be up in a few minutes." Matt said kissing my cheek. I caught a glimpse of his wolf in his eyes as he watched me get up and head toward the stairs. Misty I hated all of them, her especially. Not only did she come from what seemed to be nowhere but in one fell swoop she took everything away from me including Marshall. Not that I loved or even wanted him, but he was my last resort for a mate if all else failed. He wasn't in love with her or anything like that but she had his loyalty from the minute he heard about her. The entire pack with the exception of those in our little group supporting Vincent was thrilled that the brothers had finally found their mate and was bringing her home. I got tired of hearing about her, "Allie this or Allie that" it was if her shit didn't stink but for all I knew maybe it didn't. When they brought her home, the place went into an uproar. I got a glimpse of her when Tony carried her into the house and from what I could see she wasn't all that but as I said, I didn't get that good of a look at her but what I did notice was the way that they all touched her. Even when I fucked all of them that one time they didn't touch me like that. Did I love them? No but I wanted to mate with them for reasons of my own and now it wasn't going to happen at least not in the way I'd planned. I had even spread the story that we had mated hoping to force them into it but I should have known better, they weren't pack leaders because they were weak. They didn't even respond and the rest of the pack stopped listening to me instead treating me as if I was a sick love struck puppy. It's been a month since the reception and when they killed Vincent. What pisses me off is that I tried to tell the fool that he wasn't ready and that it wasn't time but he always thought with his emotions and not his head. He was so caught up in claiming the bitch as his mate that he lost sight of the big picture. All he had to do was wait, he might have had to wait for months or even years but it would have paid off and he still would have had the bitch to fuck and force to have his cubs. After the challenge I tried to get him to leave. "All isn't lost." I told him, "let it go and we'll come back." Did he listen? Fuck no and he ended upsetting himself killed because of that bitch! I still blame them; they could have let him go into exile. Yes, I know what Pack law says but Matt Christianson was and is pack leader, it was well within his power to make an exception, he knew that Vincent was all that I had left in this world but yet he took him from me. I went to live with my mother for a week after Vincent was killed. She cried for a few minutes and then said that he got what he deserved. I was shocked! I knew that she didn't agree with our politics but he was still her flesh and blood. I left shortly after that and moved in with an unmated male of our group, it's a beneficial relationship for the both of us, I have a place to live and all of the sex that I want and he has all of the sex he wants and then some but I have other plans for him. As of yet, Matt and the others haven't made a public appearance with the bitch, I wonder why? If I had to guess I would have to say that they're waiting for her to get acclimated to her new life. If they had chosen me, that wouldn't have been an issue and maybe one of them would be dead by now putting me one step closer to where I want to be. But still all is not lost, even without Vincent I can still take over. The only issue is that because I am female I can't be pack leader which is where August comes in. He's the male that I'm living with, I haven't worked out all of the details yet but I do know that the bitch sleeping in my bed has to go. Just as I'm about to go to sleep my phone rings, I cursed as I picked it up. "What?" I snapped. My irritation gave way to surprised pleasure; it seemed that Matt and the others were taking the bitch on her first public outing at the club tomorrow night. Too excited to sleep, I got out of bed. I had plans to make. Wolves Ch. 03 After deciding that we were going to go out, I had a mixture of feelings. I was excited but nervous at the same time. I still wasn't sure about Cecil and Dee coming for a visit but I could think about that another day. What I was more interested in even more than our first night out as a married group- that really sounds odd, but as I was saying; I was more interested in this moon time thing. I tried to remember when the next full moon was but I was never good at the kind of thing and never really believed that strange things happened during the full moon. I guess I'm going to find out. "When is the next full moon?" I asked. "Three weeks from now, we missed the last one." Matt replied, "That's plenty of time to get you ready." he added. "Get me ready? For what?" I asked, "This isn't going to be pass Allie around the pack campfire is it?" They looked at each other and laughed, but I was serious. Did I happen to mention that I hate surprises? Kevin saw the expression on my face and stopped laughing. "No sweetheart, we're not going to share you with the pack, it will be just us but I do like the passing you around the campfire idea." Kevin replied. "Why can't you tell me what's going to happen?" I asked not understanding what the big secret was. "Tell you what." Matt said, "Lets get through the outing tomorrow night and then we'll tell you whatever you want to know but until then you just have to trust us." "What's the big secret?" I asked again frustrated. "Later." Paul said, "Right now you have five husbands to satisfy." Before I could ask another question, Matt kissed me. I broke the kiss and tried to ask another question. "Matt..." That was all that I got out, damn it all to hell! I wanted to know what was going to happen and they weren't telling. "Matt." I tried again but I realized that I wasn't going to win so I gave in to the kiss and allowed myself to be carried upstairs. Matt playfully tossed me on the bed and jumped in beside me while the others stripped. I looked at him wondering why he was still dressed as a matter of fact so was I. "What's up? I asked, "Why are we still dressed?" "One night every five weeks, one of us gets to sleep alone with you and I go first." Matt replied, "Tonight the others get to make love with you before they go to the other bedroom and then it's just you, me and whatever games I can come up with. Next week it will be Kevin's turn but between times we'll be getting you ready for the moon time" "Sounds lovely but why am I still dressed?" I asked. "You won't be for too much longer." Kevin said and took off my shoes. Matt kissed me, got up and left the room. I understood now, whoever got to spend the night with me stepped back since he would have me all night. Did I mention how lucky I was? In no time flat, I was naked and tied to the bed spread eagled. "Close your eyes sweetheart." Paul said. Anxious to find out what was going to happen next, I closed my eyes. "Can you keep them closed or do we need to blindfold you?" Tony asked. I couldn't swear that I could keep my eyes closed so I was blindfolded which was perfectly fine with me, it brought back fond memories of our wedding night. I jumped when I felt something warm being drizzled across my nipples, it smelled like honey. It didn't take me long to realize that each of the guys had a squeeze bottle, I could smell honey and chocolate and I'm not sure of what the other flavors were but I'm pretty sure that they emptied the bottles. I could feel the warm liquids running between my breasts, legs and all over my body. I felt the first tongue licking me, and then all of them were licking me but avoiding the places where I wanted them to be. I don't know who attacked a nipple first but I yelped; I wasn't expecting to be nipped so hard. "Easy Paul." Tony said, "She's not ready for that just yet." "Sorry baby." Paul said as he licked and then sucked the nipple, "are you alright?" "Umm yeah, I'm fine I was just surprised" I replied. What I wanted to know was this, was this part of the preparation for the moon thing? I suspected it was but I didn't get a chance to ask as suddenly each of my nipples was in a mouth while my clit was in another. Where was the fourth one? I wondered. I got my answer a few seconds later when I felt a chocolate covered cock nudge my lips. I was never a big fan of chocolate but I think that it had just become one of my favorite foods; I licked and sucked the cock until Kevin came in my mouth with a moan. As soon as he emptied and pulled out another cock replaced his, this one was covered in honey. This went on until I had all four cocks in my mouth each a different flavor. The honey covered cock belonged to Tony, the caramel covered cock belonged to Louis and the strawberry flavored one belonged to Paul. The entire time my nipples and clit were always in someones mouth except for when they exchanged places. Every time I got close to coming, they stopped and changed places. I was to the point of begging. "Stop teasing me!" I cried as I felt the beginning of an orgasm and then...nothing. I don't know how many times they changed positions before Tony worked his magic with his tongue. He flicked, sucked and traced crazy designs on my clit until I was screaming for him to stop, it was almost too much. "Did she say stop?" I heard Kevin ask. "Don't think so, I thought I heard a don't in front of that stop." Paul said before taking a nipple into his mouth. Tony ignored my pleas for him to stop knowing that I really didn't want him to; his tongue on my clit had never felt this intense. He gave one last hard flick of his tongue and then a suck and it was all over, I came pulling on the hair of the two guys sucking and biting my nipples. They each took a turn at making me come with their mouths before using their cocks; it really was a miracle that I wasn't pregnant. When they each had their turn, Tony took me into the shower while the rest cleaned up the room and changed the linens. I was exhausted but I wanted more. "Don't worry love, Matt will keep you busy." Tony said as he washed my back. By the time we were done in the shower, the bed was remade and there were fresh squeeze bottles sitting in a warmer. Each guy gave me a toe curling kiss good night before they left the bedroom. I heard Matt on the other side of the door talking with the others before he came into the room. "How you doing darlin?" he asked as he undressed, "did they get you all warmed up for me?" I sat up and grinned at him, "was that all they had?" I teased. Matt laughed, "Such a cocky little wolf aren't you? We'll see just how much more you can take." he said as he walked over to the bed. If I had to chose a brother that scared me it would have to be Matt, don't get me wrong I wasn't scared of any of them but if I had to chose one, Matt would win hands down. I'm not exactly sure of why I say that but maybe it's because I've actually seen him in a fight. Now as he looked at me, I felt more like prey than his wife/mate but it was an incredible turn on. "I'm not a wolf yet." I reminded him as I kept my eyes on him. "Soon you will be, the moon will help." he replied. Then his eyes flashed and I saw his wolf looking at me through Matt's green eyes. "To whom do you belong?" he asked quietly. I really thought that this was part of the game; he already knew the answer to the question so I played along. "I don't know, why don't you tell me?" I teased. "Allie, to whom do you belong?" he asked again this time his voice was harsh, "Tell me to whom you belong!" he demanded. It was at this point that I realized that this was serious and I had better answer him quick. "I belong to you, all of you" I said softly. "Say it again." he demanded. I repeated what I said and he relaxed slightly. What in the hell was that all about? I wondered as Matt walked to the bed, grabbed me by the ankles and pulled me toward him. "You belong to us and no one else." he said as he opened my legs and rammed himself in without warning, "You are ours." he repeated as he slammed into me as hard as he could until we both came. It sounds painful but it wasn't, it was quite the opposite. I still didn't understand what was happening but I knew that it had something to do with the moon time thing and now wasn't the time to ask. Matt wasn't quite himself and I sensed that I needed to trust him explicitly. Little did I know that I would have to go through the process four more times before the moon time. Matt flipped me over to my stomach and stretched out on top of me. I felt a sharp bite on my shoulder at the exact place where he had bitten me the night we mated, I moaned not in pain but because it felt damned good. I asked him to do it again and he obliged but it was more of a nip than a bite as he slid into my ass, of the five he's the only one that really seemed to enjoy anal sex, either that or that part of me is off limits to all but him. After he came in my ass, he licked the bites clean of blood and carried me into the bathroom for my second shower of the night. After the shower Matt had me lay down on the bed on my back with my eyes closed. I jumped when I felt an ice cube circle my nipple and then a warm tongue. He went from nipple to nipple until the ice cube was gone while his fingers slid in and out of me until I screamed for him to let me come. He laughed and made some comment about me being impatient as he flicked the tip of a finger across my clit and granted me my wish. I was barely over the orgasm when he was drizzling what looked like very thin butter cream frosting between my legs and was lapping it up as it hit my skin. When he got to my clit, he let gave the bottle a hard squeeze before tossing it on the floor and latched onto my clit and sucked hard. The sensation was so intense that I couldn't even scream. By morning, I had sucked Matt off so many times and he had been inside of me so many times that his cock was red and sore, my nipples, clit and ass were just as sore and you know what? I would do it again; I loved every single minute of it. Every bottle in the warmer had been drained dry and lay on the floor where Matt had tossed them when they were empty. "That sweetheart was just a small taste of what will happen on moon night except that all five of us will be there. You will go through the same thing with each of us before that night, afterwards it will be as before." he told me as we soaked in the Jacuzzi. I thought about that, and wondered if we could do this again sometime. "Matt? Could we do this again sometime soon?" I asked; I totally loved this. "We can do whatever you want but there are some limitations." he replied. "Like what?" I asked. "We will never cause you what we consider to be excessive pain even if you ask us to. There is a limit to how much pain we will inflict on you and if you are pregnant there will be no rough lovemaking and that is not negotiable" he replied. "The night of the moon, will it get rougher than tonight?" I asked. I just wanted some idea of what I was in for. "It can be, but Allie we'll keep you safe and when it's over; you'll be sore and exhausted but you'll feel good as will we and hopefully there will be a pregnancy at the end of it. That was good enough for me, making love by a campfire, a little pain and five sexy guys, I could hardly wait. I settled back into Matt's arms and fell asleep with the hot water bubbling around me. When I woke up, I was in bed and all five guys were in bed with me, I never heard or felt them come in and climb into bed. Misty What to do about that bitch? As much as I wanted to just snatch her ass and kill her that wasn't an option at least not at this time. I wouldn't live an hour if I did that and killing her wasn't conducive to the success of my plans. The other thing was this, it couldn't look like a planned kill. So what did I want with her? Nothing except maybe her death and her place in that bed, if only temporarily. What could I use her for? I don't know yet but more important than that was whatever I planned, I had to be able to pull it off with my very limited resources. There was so much to think about and so little time to do it in, maybe I needed to follow the advice I gave to Vincent. I needed to slow down and bide my time, if I rushed; I would be dead just like Vincent. I was unable to sleep so I snuck onto their property and camped out across from their house. I could only imagine what was happening in that bed. I heard hear screams from her and the brothers as they pleased each other. They were making love to her whereas me, they had just fucked and forgot about, I was just a female who was able to take all of them on. They were also preparing her for moon night which was only three weeks away. I really wanted her taken care of by then but I suspected that it wasn't going to happen, there just wasn't enough time. It occurred to me that the bitch was already pregnant with their cubs, if that was the case all bets were off but I had no way of finding out unless... Marshall. I wondered if the fool still had the hots for me, he would know if the bitch was pregnant, if she was even I wouldn't dare hurt a woman carrying cubs. Our children are too important to us, even the children of our enemies because they could always be stolen and turned. After the cubs were born, it would be business as usual, so if I could do nothing in the three week time frame before moon time, there would be another chance. That knowledge settled me down a bit, it took off some of the pressure of having to do something before I was ready. I still hadn't gotten a real good look at her, the night of the fight I was concentrating on Vincent but tonight I would see what my competition was made of. I had no illusions, they would never leave her for me unless she was dead and even then there were no guarantees, they could opt to stay single even if there was another mate for them but what I'm hoping for is that they will be so distraught over her "accident" that they'll turn to me, one of the few women that could handle them. If that happens then August is history. If they found out that I had anything to do with her death, my death would be slow and painful, and Matt and his brothers would make me suffer for days before letting me die and leaving me to rot. I'm sure that you're wondering why I'm taking such a risk, it's because I know what I want and I'm not afraid to go for it. What do I want? I want to be pack leader even if I have to do it from behind the scenes. I am fully aware that it could take a long time to kill off the brothers and then bring August in as pack leader but I'm beginning to wonder about that decision. Marshall might be a better choice but I'm getting ahead of myself, the first thing that I have to do is to figure out how to get rid of Allie. The reality of it is that there's really nothing that I can do until I've sized her up and know more about her, you know the "know your enemy" thing. There's another complication that I hadn't thought of until now, what if she is able to change? Most female mates that are human can't but every once in a while there is one that can, was she one that could? That would be something else that Marshall would know, it's becoming clearer to me that I have a lot of work to do. The one thing that I can do is confront her; I want to see how she reacts. If she cowers behind Matt and the others, that will tell me all that I need to know. When I got home, August was asleep but I was horny after listening to the sounds of them fucking all night. I kicked him awake and made him turn onto his back and jumped him not giving him a chance to wake up. Don't feel too sorry for him, he loves it. The only thing is that he always wants to cuddle afterwards as if we were lovers or something. I indulge him for just a couple of minutes before I get back out of bed, If you're thinking that I'm not a nice person, you're right. I'm not a nice person but then I never claimed to be. The club I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror, Matt and the others said that I looked great but I'm not so sure. I wondered if I should wear something dressier than jeans but I opted not to deciding to go with comfort over style. Matt waited until the last minute to tell me that their parents would be there, just fricking great I thought when he told me. I was nervous enough to be going out for the first time as a group but to meet thes too? I need a valium. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that I wasn't rethinking this whole going out thing but it had to be done at some point and I might as well get it over with. As the mate to the pack leaders I had to look and act fearless right? I mean any woman that has five men who are werewolves in her bed at one time has got to be fearless or close to it. Matt came up behind me and kissed my neck. "You're going to be fantastic and our parents are going to love you. Just be who you are and you ''lol be fine." he said. Each of the others told me pretty much the same thing and you know what? I decided the hell with it; I was going to have fun. I had never been a party girl and I'd never been out with the hottest guy around let alone five of them, I was starting to look forward to this. I squared my shoulders, put on my happy face and met my guys at the front door. The closer to the club we got the calmer I felt, isn't that strange? Even the thought of meeting the parents didn't faze me anymore; it was going to be a good night. The club was already full when we got there but Matt had a standing reservation and the table was ready. The music stopped when we walked in and I admit to feeling a little self conscious with all of those eyes on me but not scared or nervous. The music and talking started again once we were sitting down. After that there was a steady flow of people wanting to meet me and there were more than a few jealous glances but nothing to worry about, I would be giving jealous looks too if I was on the outside looking in. Several Pepsi's later; I had to use the restroom. Thes hadn't showed up yet and I wanted to go and be back before they arrived. As I stood up, my neck itched, it felt like someone was watching me but when I glanced around; I didn't see anyone. I shrugged off the feeling deciding that it was just my imagination, but it didn't go away. "Baby? You alright?" Louis asked. "Yeah, I'm fine." I said but I still had the feeling of being watched and whoever it was definitely wasn't my friend. I made my way to the bathroom followed by Louis who waited by the bar. I kissed him and went in, I saw someone was in one of the stalls and disregarded them. When I came out of my stall, she was waiting for me. Misty. We looked at each other for several seconds before she spoke. "So you're her, the bitch that got my brother killed." she said. I stared at her, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the death of her brother and if you will recall I asked Matt to just send him away. "Look." I said, "I don't have an issue with you and I certainly didn't have anything to do with your brother being killed, that was all him." What I really wanted to say what that it was his stupidity that got him killed but I held my tongue. Misty walked over to me and got into my personal space, I don't know what she was expecting but I walked into her and stared at her. "What do you want?" I asked. I wanted to get back to the table before thes got there. "What's mine bitch." she replied. Remember that I said that I hated games and this was no exception and I really didn't appreciate being called a bitch by someone that I didn't know. "Bitch? I asked, "You don't know me well enough to call me that. I don't know what you think is yours but this much I do know; Matt Christianson and his brothers are mine. I know all about you and the moon time thing and about how you told everyone that you and the brothers were mates. I would suggest that you find yourself a nice wolf somewhere and settle down. Matt and the others aren't available now and they won't be in the foreseeable future." Wolves Ch. 03 Her eyes widened but she didn't move away. She only stepped away when someone came into the bathroom, I was proud of the fact that I hadn't been the one to move away or break eye contact first. I stared at her as she pushed past the woman that had come in without looking back. Life just got a little more interesting. Louis was tapping his foot when I came out. "Do all women take so long in the bathroom?" he teased as he pulled me close. I was looking around for Misty and wondered how she had gotten by him. My question was answered a moment later; Everyone's attention was toward the front of the club where two patrons were being escorted out. I knew it for what it was, a set up. The two men fighting were with Misty, they created a diversion so that she could escape the club unseen probably though the back door. I don't know how I knew that but I did, I would have bet my house on it. I had come to a decision; I was going to take care of Misty myself although I had no real idea of how I was going to do that. She was up to no good and I was sure that it somehow involved my guys. For now though, she was gone and I hads to meet. Misty Well, well, well, the bitch has a backbone. I have to admit that I was surprised and impressed, I may be a bitch myself but I do give credit where credit is due. One of my questions was answered, she wouldn't be easy to take out even if she couldn't change. Now that I've had a good look at her, I don't get it; she's not ugly but she's no raving beauty either but judging by the way they all looked at her you would have thought that she was prime rib. The one thing that I hadn't planned on was one of the brothers walking her to the bathroom, I should have known that they wouldn't leave her alone and of course it had to be Louis. Everyone thinks that he's mild mannered and all of that shit but Louis is as bad as any of the others and would be the one most likely to smell a rat and he wasn't the only one. I watched the bitch, she knew that she was being watched and she knows that I mean trouble. The question is whether she'll say anything about me to the brothers, not wanting to chance it; I decided to get my ass out of there. I would know soon enough. It seems that whoever chooses the mates picked an alpha female for the brothers. Damn. * Thes still hadn't arrived by the time I got back to the table. Kevin stood up to let me slide in next to Matt patting my ass as I slid by. I was reconsidering my decision not to say anything about Misty but decided to stand by my decision. I had lived alone in the mountains for several years and didn't have anyone to run to when I had a problem and I wasn't going to start running for help now. I would have to trust my instincts to tell me when I needed to speak up and when I should keep my mouth shut and right now they were saying "Allie shut up" and so shut up I did. It wasn't long before the club was quiet again. Even the people playing pool stopped their game and looked toward the door. "Mom and Dad are here." Matt whispered as he stood up with the rest of the room. I stood up like everyone else and waited. The funny thing was that I wasn't scared or nervous and I had the sense that that was a good thing. I also noticed that none of the brothers were touching me and I remembered the night of the fight. I had to stand on my own to face the scrutiny of their parents, I also realized that none of them had told me what to expect. I suspected that meeting their parents was a test and I wouldn't know if I had passed until we got home. Finally a couple walked into the club, the male was an older version of Matt and the others and every bit as handsome. The woman was beautiful in a beauty queen kind of way and looked high maintenance with her perfect big hair that was so black that it had blue highlights, matching designer clothes and manicured nails. "Oh Yay" I thought as they made their way toward us and here I was dressed in jeans. They stopped in front of our table and looked at each son directly in the eye for several minutes; it was kind of like playing that game to see who away first looked. The entire club was quiet the entire time; I swear that I could hear Matt's heart beating. Finally when they finished with the guys none of whom even blinked by the way, they got to me. First the father did his stare thing, his eyes were a gorgeous topaz and his wolf passed through them stopping to stare at me. Then it was her turn. She looked at me long and hard, it felt like she was ripping me apart to see my insides and then I saw her wolf in her clear blue eyes and it was as beautiful as she was. It was the same color as her hair with blue eyes. I could only hope that I was even half that beautiful when I finally mastered the art of turning. I don't know how long we stared at each other before she finally smiled at me. After that, the formal introductions were made by Matt. "Mom, Dad this is Allie Walker, now Allie Christianson; Sweetheart, these are our parents Darrin and Glenda Christianson." "It's nice to meet you." Glenda said extending her hand, "My sons are treating you well I hope?" she asked. On the face of it, it seemed like an innocent question but I think that there was more to it but I answered honestly. "I have no complaints, I'm very happy with them." "Good and they seem very happy with you, why don't we sit and get acquainted?" she asked. Once we were all sitting, the music and other activities started up again. Apparently I passed or thought I did because I felt Matt's hand on one thigh and Kevin's on the other both stroking lightly. The other three were smiling at me with approval in their eyes, yep I passed muster. "So Allie." Glenda said, "What did you do before my sons found you?" Damn it! Another test, it wasn't over. "I lived up in the mountains in a house my grandfather built and I wrote articles for a website." I replied, "I still write for them." I added "Interesting, what kind of articles do you write?" Darrin asked as he swirled his drink around to mix it. Now I understood the strokes and smiles, I was being grilled. "It varies, but I wrote one on monogamy a few weeks ago." I replied. Darrin almost choked on his drink and Glenda laughed. "Monogamy?" Darrin asked recovering and then laughing, "That is priceless! Apparently they haven't asked about your marital status lately." He added with a chuckle. "Which reminds me." Glenda said, "Do you have family?" "I have a cousin who lives in California and a few others but she's the only one that I talk to on a regular basis." I replied already dreading the next question. "What do they have to say about you and my sons?" she asked. "They don't know yet, but they're coming in the spring and we'll tell them then." I replied. There was a brief silence at this; I think I just lost a few points. "What do you think they'll say?" Glenda asked. I decided not to sugarcoat or lie about what I thought. "They're going to want to lock me up for a psychiatric eval and say that I was kidnapped by a cult or something like that and they probably will never let me see my nephews again." I said. "Honest aren't' you? Glenda asked. "I try to be." I replied. "Admirable, so let me ask you this; are you afraid to tell your family?" Darrin asked. "Yes." I said without hesitation. "Why is that?" he asked. "I'll give you the condensed version." I said, "It's not because I'm embarrassed or ashamed of what we have but I love my nephews even though I don't see them as often as I would like to or should. But their father is a self righteous racist jerk and he would try to turn them against me and he would stop my cousin from contacting me. The other thing is this, I've always wanted like this and I don't want my cousin's husband to ruin it but as Matt pointed out, it can only be ruined if I allow it." I said hoping to regain whatever points I had lost. The questions seemed never ending and some of them were a little too personal for my taste but what the hell? Anyway by the time they were done with me my head ached and I was exhausted but they pronounced me worthy of bearing their grandchildren, "Oh thank you oh great ones" I wanted to say but didn't, I don't think that would've gone over too well. Matt was the first one to realize that I needed a break and took me outside for some air which really helped with the headache. "You did well, they like you." he said as he hugged me. "Did you know what was going to happen?" I asked. "I did but I couldn't tell you, it was a test that we all knew that you would pass." "What would have happened if I wouldn't have passed?" I asked. "Well, nothing would have changed except that you would be on mom's shit list until you proved yourself at another grilling." He said. "Please tell me that I passed." I said. I had no desire to do a repeat grilling. Matt laughed, "you passed and with flying colors. You'll get your reward later." You all know about Pavlov and his experiments don't you? I could only imagine what my reward was going to be and my panties were already wet, suddenly I was ready to go and collect my reward but apparently protocol dictates that we couldn't leave until Darrin and Glenda left which was a very long three hours later. Misty I couldn't stay away, I should have but I couldn't. I had to see if she passed the grilling that she would get from Darrin and Glenda. I could only hope that she fucked up but she didn't. She didn't even blink when Darren or Glenda looked at her with their wolves in their eyes. Fuck, she didn't even look nervous! I've seen the mates of wolves piss themselves because they were so scared, where in the fuck did they find this one? One thing was clear, my planning would have to be flawless, there would be no room for error which meant one thing, I needed an inside man. I had to get Marshall back into my bed and pronto, I wonder what he's doing right now? Wolves Ch. 04 We left soon after Darren and Glenda did, I was exhausted but not so exhausted that I didn't want to collect my reward for surviving the grilling. I had already pushed Misty out of my mind, there wasn't anything I could do about her at the moment anyway, and for all I know; part of her plan was to stress me out. Guess what? It wasn't working; I had just passed being grilled. The house was quiet when we got home which in and of itself wasn't odd but it just didn't feel quite right. Did you ever feel like that? You know something's wrong but you just can't pinpoint what it is? That's how I felt and not just me. All five guys were looking around, tense; before I knew what was happening, I was being carried into the house. "What?" was all that I got out before four of the five guys were gone. The one who stayed behind was Louis; he must be the wife-sitter of the night. "Louis? What's going on?" I asked, "And don't you give me that nothing for you to worry about routine." I added. I could tell that's exactly what he was going to say. "Allie, it really is nothing for you to worry about." He replied. "Uh huh, that's why the others tore out of here like bats out of hell." I said letting him know that I didn't believe him. He had the sense to blush, "It just that from time to time other packs trespass on our property and they're not always friendly." he replied. There was much more to it and I was willing to bet that Misty had something to do with it, I couldn't prove it so there was no point in saying anything and even if I could have, I still wouldn't have said anything. Whatever was going on was between her and me; I could already tell that I was going to have to seriously kick her ass. The others came back a few minutes later as naked as the day they were born. "Where are your clothes?" I asked. They all looked at each other and then laughed. "Um Allie, the clothes have to come off when we change." Kevin said. "Oh..., Oh!" I said. I can be such a nitwit sometimes and then I realized something, if the pack ran together; they would see me naked. Being naked with my guys was one thing but the whole pack? I didn't know about that. "Allie, no one pays attention to anyone else, you'll get used to it" Tony said as he pulled me into his arms. I had a hard time believing that no one paid any attention to these five especially when they were naked; I had a hard time paying attention to anything else when they were naked. Then there was the fact that I couldn't change, at least not entirely. I still hadn't made as much progress as I would have liked and wondered if I was trying too hard. "Come on, Allie." Tony said as he picked me up, "You have a reward to collect." I really hoped that part of the reward involved squeeze bottles filled with yummy flavors and a blindfold; I wanted a repeat of the night before. Misty I called their house from my cell phone. Marshall answered on the first ring. It really is too bad that I don't want him. He would make a good mate for some woman but not me and to be honest with you; I didn't really want a male as a mate. I only wanted to use them to get what I wanted and Marshall was about to get seriously used. When he heard my voice I could tell that he was wary but I can be very sweet when I need to be. I fed him all kinds of bullshit about how I missed him and that the brothers hadn't really meant anything to me. And the fool bought it! I could practically hear his thoughts as I fed him what he wanted to hear, he was definitely thinking with his cock and not his brain. We arranged to meet in the woods later that night, I had to make him promise not to say anything to Allie or the brothers, the less she knew the better and besides, she would know that I was definitely up to something. The question was this, if she could change, could I take her? I mean the woman went through the grilling without breaking a sweat and that is a good indication of her strength. I had the advantage in that I was born wolf but she was just learning about us and the question of whether she could change or not still hadn't been answered. I couldn't ask Marshall anything about that tonight, if I did her would know that I was using him. Tonight would be a fuck session which was fine by me, Marshall may be a sentimental pain in the ass but the one thing that he was good at was fucking. Don't get me wrong, he isn't as good as the brothers are but he's very good. Marshall was at the meeting place early. I could see him pacing back and forth like he does when he's thinking hard. I had to get over there before he changed his mind, if he did that then I was screwed. "Hey Marshall." I said softly. He turned toward me, but damn! He was already hard but I could see the indecision in his eyes and something else that I couldn't identify. I walked up to him and rubbed the front of his jeans and that was all it took, the fool was mine to use as I wished. "Misty." he said but I didn't allow him to continue, I didn't want him to have anymore time to think. He was questioning whether he should be here or not. I kept rubbing the front of his jeans watching as he closed his eyes and growled low in his chest. Then before I knew what was happening, Marshall became the aggressor and I didn't like that. I didn't want to be controlled by any man but this was a means to an end but there was something different about this, about Marshall. There was a time when we fucked, I felt how much he cared for me but now...I can't quite put my finger on it and he's the one in full control now. My shirt was in shreds hanging from me with my breasts exposed, whatever was going on with him, I didn't like it. Marshall tossed me on my back and I don't mean gently and tore my pants off. "Marshall! Slow down!" I said trying to gain back a little control but he wasn't listening. I saw his wolf in his eyes; it was staring at me as if I was no more than prey. That could have been because the time of the moon was coming but there was more to it than that. As soon as I was bare from the waist down, Marshall grabbed my ankles opened my legs and slammed into me taking my breath away. What the fuck was happening here? He had never acted like this! The entire time he fucked me, he never said a word, the only sounds coming from him were growls and moans of pleasure and then the howl of release as he came. When he was done, he pulled out of me and tossed me aside as if I was trash. "Just how stupid do you think I am?" he hissed as he stood over me, "Just how goddamned stupid do you think I am!" he screamed at me. In all of the time I'd known Marshall, I had never seen him like this. I've seen him miffed but this was a Marshall that I didn't know existed and I didn't like him. He stared at me with undisguised disgust; none of the love that he used to have for me was there. The surprising thing was that I was hurt by that, maybe it was because I it for granted that when all else failed, there would always be that. "Marshall..." "Shut the fuck up!" he screamed at me. Another first, I had never heard Marshall use such strong language. I don't know why but that bothered me more than the anger. "They were right about you." he said, "You are nothing more than a pathetic whore who wants what she can't have. You called me tonight hoping that you could fuck me into telling you about Allie and the others but it won't work so here's a word of advice stay the fuck away from them or I'll kill you myself." I watched him gather his clothes and walk away; things had just gotten more complicated. I knew that he would tell Allie about our little meeting but would he tell all of them? I had seriously underestimated his loyalty to her, I mean he'd only known her for a few weeks and here he was willing to kill for her. How could a nobody from wherever the hell she came from get such loyalty? Then I realized my second mistake, I had to stop thinking of her as a nobody. She was far from a nobody and she had proven it time and time again. I had to start thinking of her for what she was, a true competitor, someone who was in my way. I lay on the ground for several more minutes before getting up to get dressed. I had come to the realization that I wouldn't be able to touch her unless an unforeseen opportunity came my way and I just didn't see that happening. **** When we got to the bedroom, I noticed that the bottle warmer wasn't there. Damn. But the room was filled with flowers of different varieties. "None of us knew your favorite flower so we got you different kinds." Paul said. At that moment, they were all my favorite kinds. I had never gotten flowers before, oh wait that's not true; when I graduated from high school and then college I got flowers. Does that count? I guess but I never got flowers from guy who wasn't a relative. The room smelled wonderful like my own botanical garden. I walked around the room touching and smelling the flowers hoping that they weren't the kind that I had to tend. Miss Green thumb I'm not, I killed a cactus once. Do you know how hard that is to do? Fortunately none of the flowers were of the needing care variety. "We have something else for you." Tony said from behind me. He pulled me close and nuzzled my neck, the flowers were forgotten when I felt his cock pressing into my back. It was time to collect my reward. Tony led me to the bed and sat me down on it, all five guys stood in front of me almost close enough for me to touch and I wanted to touch. Each of their cocks was hard and were begging for attention but woe is me, I had to wait. Apparently there is another mini ceremony that occurs when a grilling is passed. I don't know why they don't tell me these things in advance, it would make things easier but I suppose there's a reason for why I'm not warned. Matt stepped forward and knelt in front of me holding a box. "Allie, you are truly amazing. You passed the grilling with flying colors and you're probably the first to be able to meet my mother's eyes without flinching." he said. "Wait... there were others?" I asked. Seeing my confusion, Matt clarified. "There were no other mates, without going into a lot of detail, one of the things you will do is hear minor arguments and make rulings. Once you are fully able to change, when people look into your eyes, they will see your wolf as you were able to see hers and as you are able to see ours." That brought up another question, would I be even as half as beautiful as she was? Just as I was about to ask, Kevin made an impatient sound. "Anyway," Matt said, "We'll talk about that later but for now all of us want to let you know how proud of you we are and how much we love you." I watched as he opened the small box, inside was a beautiful gold necklace with a diamond as the pendant. The diamonds were in a circle and then there was an amethyst in the center. The symbolism was clear; the five diamonds were them surrounding me. They were telling me that I would always be safe. I'm not going to lie and tell you that I didn't cry because I did. There wasn't a day that went by that these men didn't let me know in some way that they loved me. Every touch, every glance let me know how valued and loved I was. If someone would have told me three months ago that everything that I had ever wanted in my life would come to me I would have laughed and asked what they were smoking but here I am living the dream. Matt took the necklace out of the box and put it around my neck. Kevin had moved behind me and took the ends from Matt and fastened it around my neck. The others had moved in closer and were touching me wherever they could. I looked at each of them and whispered a thank you. Matt kissed me first; the tip of his tongue traced the outline of my lips before slipping into my mouth. Kevin pulled me back so that my back was resting against his chest. I felt the others beginning to undress me and I tried to help as much as I could but with Matt practically on top of me and Kevin behind me there wasn't much that I could do. After several minutes, Matt moved so that he and Kevin could take off my shirt. By this time, the only ones still dressed were Kevin and Matt but that wasn't the case for long. They wanted to blindfold me and tie me to the bed but as much as I enjoyed that, tonight I wanted to be able to see and touch as much as I wanted to. In response to my request, Matt moved me up in the bed and lay next to me. The others found their usual places on the bed and lay quietly. For several minutes no one spoke or moved, just as I was beginning to wonder what was going on, I felt a nip on the inside of my right thigh. It didn't hurt, not much anyway but it felt good, then there was a second nip on the inside of my left thigh but after the nip a lick was added. For several minutes, they all nipped and licked at me, the nips varying from my barely being able to feel them to me actually saying something because it had hurt a little too much. After a while, it seemed that they had finally figured something out because the pain level never got to the point where I had to say something. Matt was the first to change the tone of the lovemaking, from that moment it was just pure pleasure incorporating the nips and licks. Remember when I mentioned some time ago that sex and food seemed better? Well, it was even better than that if that's even possible. I had my suspicions that it was because of the coming moon time and after that things would go back to normal. "Ready for your reward?" Matt asked as he took a nipple into his mouth and sucked hard. My moan was all the answer that he and the others needed as all of a sudden; I was being devoured by five hungry mouths. Kevin latched onto my left nipple and sucked as hard as Matt was, I felt someone's mouth on my clit, a finger in my pussy and a pair of hands massaging my ass. I was seriously hoping that they wouldn't tease me and stop to change places just as I was about to come because I was already close. I had Matt's cock in one hand and Kevin's in the other pulling and stroking them as hard and as fast as I could. I knew that Matt was as close to coming as I was and that Kevin wasn't far behind him. Matt nipped my nipple and then sucked while whoever was sucking my clit sucked and flicked his tongue across the top of it. I only knew that it wasn't Tony, he had a style all his own but whoever it was stopped sucking and placed his tongue flat against my clit and rubbed it. I came screaming like a banshee still stroking and pulling on the cocks in my hand. Matt pulled away from me and positioned himself so that I could take his cock into my mouth. I took as much of him in as I could while still in the throes of orgasm. "Bite me Allie." Matt said as he pulled out of my mouth. I licked down to the base of his cock, kissed it and then bit. It was nowhere near as hard as he liked but they weren't the only ones who could tease. "Allie..." Matt growled. I bit again, a little harder teasing him. "Looks like she's learning." Tony said laughing at Matt's growing impatience. "Allie Christianson, if you don't..." I cut Matt off by giving him what he wanted. I bit into the base of his cock not hard enough to draw blood but I'm sure that I left slight teeth marks. "Do that again!" Matt cried out. I could feel cock throbbing against my face, if I bit he would come and not where I wanted him to. Instead of biting, I licked and sucked where I had just bitten until he got the hint. Once again, I had his cock in my mouth and nursed from it until he emptied with a groan. I loved the taste of him; I loved the taste of all of them and was looking forward to having the rest of them in my mouth as well. Kevin took Matt's place and like Matt requested to be bitten, I teased him as I did Matt with the difference being that he enjoyed it more than Matt did which made it all the more fun for me. It would become a game between the two of us whenever we were alone to see how long he could stand the teasing. Now remember that the others weren't just watching as this was going on, they were teasing me as much as I was teasing them and in my opinion, it made the orgasms that much better, you know the delayed gratification thing. By the time the night was over, I had taken each of them in my mouth at least twice, in my pussy I don't know how many times and Matt had been in my ass at least twice. The next time I thought about it, I was going to ask him about that, why he was the only one that took me in the ass. By the time we got up, it was late morning. After a very eventful shower, we went down to the dining room. Marshall was in the kitchen when we came in, as soon as I saw him; I knew that something had happened. So did the others. "Marshall, what's up?" Matt asked. Marshall was about to say nothing but decided to come clean. We all listened silently as he told us about the phone call from Misty and what transpired when he met her. "Allie, she means to hurt you." Marshall said quietly. I was pissed; the bitch was now trying to hurt more of the people that I cared about. Suddenly it was imperative that I learn how to shift and as soon as possible. It was now clear as to what was going to happen, one of us was going to die and it sure as hell wasn't going to be me. I felt bad for Marshall; he still had some feelings for Misty even though he knew the truth about her. I wanted to do something for him but I didn't know what. Matt asked him to sit with us at the table, which Marshall did albeit reluctantly. "Marshall, we all appreciate how hard this must be for you but I have to ask a few questions." Matt said. I looked at Marshall and was surprised by what I saw. Instead of anger or sadness, I saw resignation and acceptance. He had finally seen Misty for what she was, an immoral bitch that would use anyone to get what she needed. "Did she say anything?" Matt asked. "To be honest, I didn't give her a chance. I fucked her, told her what I thought about her and warned her that I would kill her if she came anywhere near any of you. After that, I walked away." Yep, the bitch would be back. I was as sure about that as I was sure that my name was Allie Christianson nee Walker. After breakfast, I cornered the guys. "I want to be able to change by moon time." I said. They all looked at each other and then at me. "Allie, why the rush?" Louis asked. I couldn't lie so I told them some of the truth meaning that I didn't mention Misty and our little meeting in the restroom at the club. If I did, I wouldn't be able to take care of her myself. "I just want to be able to protect myself. What if I'm out with one of you and something happens? I don't want you to be distracted by worrying about me." I said. Reasonable argument right? Well, one Matthew Christianson wasn't buying it; he knew that there was more to it but chose not to press. Later I would find out that I hadn't fooled any of them. Misty Now that I had time to get over my shock, I was seriously pissed. Just who in the fuck did Marshall think he was using me like that! The worst part of it was, I didn't even get to come, and I hadn't even gotten close. Marshall was now on my shit list but it created another problem, it meant that I was back to the original plan of using August as my figurehead when I took over the pack. I couldn't help myself, I had to go to the house that should have been mine and one day would be. The lights were on in the main bedroom and the windows were open. It was as if they wanted the world to hear them fucking their brains out. I heard Matt scream and I knew that he was coming and coming hard. I felt a twinge of jealousy that I hadn't been able to make him scream like that not even once during that night. I don't know how long I stayed out there listening before I decided to leave. Wolves Ch. 04 Speaking of leaving, how wise was it for me to stay around? I was positive that Marshall was going to tell them about me and when he did would they come after me? After thinking about it for several minutes, I decided to stay put and take my chances. I would just make sure to stay clear of them for now; I wasn't ready to face her yet anyway. August was in the kitchen when I got home, he tried to greet me with a kiss but I pushed him away. I didn't want or need that mushy lovey dovey shit, I needed a good fuck. "Bedroom now." I said leaving no room for argument. Like a good puppy, August went into the bedroom stripping along the way. He was nude by the time we made it to the bed. He lay on his back and waited just the way I wanted him to, he was hard with anticipation because he never knew what I wanted from him. Sometimes, I would let him eat me but those times were rare, it wasn't because I didn't enjoy it; I did but it was because he enjoyed it as well. He enjoyed the fucking too but came only because he couldn't help it. When I fucked him, he wasn't allowed to move until he was coming, once again don't feel too bad for him, he does get to come when I'm finished. Today, he's going to get his wish. I have to start catering to him a little more if I'm going to use him. His eyes widened in surprise and delight as I straddled his face and eased my pussy into his waiting mouth. I moaned as he grabbed my hips and pulled me onto his face as he licked and sucked at me like as if he was starving. Oh yes, talk about fucking pussy control. **** We had been working at the change lessons for about an hour and I was already frustrated. I was trying too hard and I knew it. I could still only change my ears, hands and little else, one would think that after how many weeks that I would be further along than this but I wasn't. The moon time was less than two weeks away and I wasn't ready. To add to the stress, Dee called while we were taking a break. "We're still coming! I'm so excited to see you." Dee gushed. I really didn't want to think about this now; I had Misty to deal with. "When did you say you were coming?" I asked trying to act interested. "June first and we're staying for two weeks! That was Cecil's idea too. The boys are so excited to see you especially Tyler." Two weeks? Two whole weeks? Sweet Jesus, how in the hell was I going to put up with Cecil for two weeks? On the plus side, it would be great to spend two weeks with Dee and my nephews. While I loved all three of them, it was Tyler that had my heart. He was one of those 'oops' babies but he was absolutely adorable and for whatever reason had always been drawn to me. He was small for his ten years of age causing people to think him younger than he was and easy prey for the kids at school. Fortunately for him, his two older brothers were very protective of him and one of them Cecil Jr. attended the same school and looked out for him. Tyler was also the child that Cecil Sr. was the hardest on and I didn't understand why. He was as smart as a whip and better read than most adults I knew, me included. I also had to wonder why Cecil wanted to come spend two weeks with me the heathen, it just didn't add up, we barely tolerated each other. The sense that there was much more going on hit me again and I also suspected that whatever it was, Dee wasn't privy to it either. We ended the phone call with plans to talk soon. I pushed their visit to the back of my mind; Misty was my priority at the moment. Paul rubbed my shoulders and kissed my neck. "Allie, it'll be fine. I promise." he said. "Two weeks." I moaned, "Two weeks of hearing about how much money he makes and of listening to his snide comments." I said leaning back into his arms. "We're big boys Allie, you don't have to worry about protecting us from the likes of him but on the other hand, if he says or does anything that causes you upset, his ass will be in the sling." Paul said and received a round of applause from the others. By lunch I had a massive headache. The thought of food nauseated me but still I pressed on. By two, Matt had had enough. "You're done for the day." he said. "But..." "But nothing." he said cutting me off. "It isn't a requirement for you to be able to change at all but since we know that you have the capability there's nothing that says that you have to be able to do it by moon time. Now take your pretty ass up the stairs and get ready for a soak in the tub and do not argue with me." He added when he saw me open my mouth. "Matt..." "Allie, get your ass upstairs, I'll send Paul up in a few minutes." If you'll remember, I said that of the five Paul was the gentlest but every bit as alpha as the rest. He was also the most soothing of the five and soothing was exactly what I needed. As I climbed the stairs I thought about how Matt had just taken care of me. He knew that he wasn't what I needed at that moment and without jealousy was sending me the one that I did need. I undressed and waited for Paul to come. As I waited I closed my eyes hoping that it would ease the pounding in my head. "You worry too much." a soft voice said. I hadn't heard Paul come in. He lay on the bed next to me already naked and held me close. "Allie, you don't have to handle things alone anymore. I think that you forget that you have us to care for you." He was partly right but the other part of it was that I didn't want to look weak especially with loony toons Misty watching me. "I know that you're worried about your cousin's husband but try not to." he said. He was right about that too, they were coming and there was no point in stressing about it. As Paul talked in that soothing sing-song voice that he used whenever he was trying to relax me, the headache and nausea began to subside and I wanted to sleep. "Close your eyes and sleep." he urged. "I'll be here." When I woke up it was dark, I had slept through supper. I tried to see the clock but Paul was blocking my view. "It's after eight." He said anticipating my question. "Eight? Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked. "You needed to sleep and besides, they held supper for us." He replied. I kissed him in thanks and went to move from the bed. "Just where do you think you're going?" he asked pulling me back. "You said that they're holding supper." I said. "And they can wait awhile longer." Paul said as he moved so that he was on top of me. "I want my dessert first." he added as he slid into me. Thirty minutes later we went down for supper. Marshall was back to his usual sweet self and even joined us at the table. After dinner, Matt asked us to stay seated and then he looked at me. Oh shit, now what? "Allie, you haven't been entirely honest with us." Matt said. "You haven't lied but you haven't told us everything either so talk." "What is it that you think I haven't told?" I asked already knowing the answer. Matt gave me a hard look. "We're waiting." he said ignoring my question. I finally fessed up and told them about meeting Misty in the club restroom. "Why didn't you tell us?" Kevin asked, "We can't keep you safe...." "That's exactly why I didn't tell you." I interrupted. "I lived alone for years before you and I took care of myself. You all keep treating me as if I was made of glass and I'm not. It's not that I don't appreciate it , I do but I've got to be able to hold my own and your protecting me from everything isn't allowing me to do that. Whatever else is going on with Misty, part of it is between her and me. Like it or not she and I are going to tangle at some point and I want and need to be ready. That's why the push to learn how to change and to control it. I am the mate to the pack leaders and I have to act like it and running to you isn't acting like it. And one other thing, I want someone to tell me what was going on the night we came home from the club and don't sugarcoat it." I don't know how long we sat at the table not saying anything before Matt spoke. "You're right." He said. Being the smart ass that I can be, I asked it to say it again. I got the feeling that none of them, Matt especially didn't concede too often. "Alright smart ass, you're right." Matt repeated. "We've been doing you a disservice by trying to protect you but you have to understand that we don't want anything to happen to you. You're also right about Misty, we don't like it but at some point, you will have a confrontation with her and you will need to be ready. Having said that, we don't like the fact that you kept it from us just as you don't like the fact that we kept something from you so here's the deal; from now on we are to be totally honest with each other. There are to be no more secrets, are we agreed?" he asked. We all agreed and it was Tony who explained what all the excitement had been about. "There is a group of wolves that roam the area from time to time but they've never dared to come here. Why they were here that night we don't know, how they got in is what we're trying to figure out. The one thing that we're sure of is that they're here for a reason. In order for them to venture onto our property, there has to be something in it for them and we think that Misty has something to do with it. We were hoping to catch one of them but as you know we didn't. Until they're gone we need you to always be with one of us." "Do you think that they were here to kidnap me?" I asked. "We don't think so; we think that they were here to kill you." Matt said. Ok then, loony toons wants me dead. Why does that not surprise me? It only made the fact that I needed to learn to change all the more important. "Guys, I need to learn how to change and pronto." I said. "I've been thinking about that." Louis said. "I think the problem is that you're trying to hard and it needs to be more fun like it was at your house." I agreed but given the gravity of the situation, I couldn't see how it could be fun. "So, this is what I'm proposing, positive reinforcement." he said. "Louis, just say what you mean." Tony said impatiently. "I'm talking about rewarding Allie every time she succeeds in changing a part." Louis said. Pavlov again I realized but I liked the way Louis was thinking. "Every time she succeeds, she gets to pick one of us to do to her whatever she wants." Louis continued. I really liked this idea and voted even before it had been put on the table. "Can we start now?" I asked eager to get started. Matt laughed, "Tomorrow is soon enough." he said much to my disappointment. It was early yet and I was rested so I didn't see the problem but I didn't say anything. The reason for the delay became clear when Matt spoke again. "Moon time is just under two weeks away and I want to make sure that Allie is ready especially since it'll be her first time. We also need to make sure that she isn't pregnant already and last but not least, I want to move the campsite to a different site. I don't want Misty showing up and I want a brand new spot that we haven't used with another female. Tony and Paul, I want you to start looking for a new site tomorrow, Louis and Kev I want you to start packing up the old one and Allie, you and I have a date so don't bother getting out of bed; I'll bring breakfast to you." Hot damn! Breakfast in bed with Matt! But I still had questions. "Who is going to tell me about this moon thing?" I asked. Misty I was still pissed at Marshall but I was even more pissed by the fact that the wolves sent to Matt's house had almost gotten caught. What in the hell had they been thinking? I specifically told the idiots to stay away from the house but they decided that since no one was home they would do some investigating. There wasn't a chance in hell that I could get them in again so I hid them in Vincent's basement and told them to stay out of sight. Just to keep an eye on things, I moved in too. I just didn't trust them especially since the time of the moon was coming. Already the pack was growing restless, even the ones who were much too young to understand what the time of the moon meant. If I was a believer in god or a higher power, my prayer would have been that Allie wouldn't be pregnant or that she wouldn't get pregnant but you know, even if she did there was still a way that I could get at her, I could steal one of the cubs and raise it as my own. Wouldn't that be a kick in her ass? But wait, I hated kids but what I could do was hold the brats for ransom. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know what I said about our children being important and all of that and I meant it but that doesn't mean that it's beneath me to use them. What would I ask for? That they all step down as pack leaders and hand the pack over to that idiot August to whom I would have mated with. That would be easier than trying to kill Matt and the others and yes, I would give the cubs back...once they moved out of the house. Here's to a productive moon time night! **** One more week until the night of the moon. The entire pack is restless including my guys, the question of the day was always, "do you think that you're pregnant?" I was pretty sure that I wasn't but then I'd never been pregnant before so what did I know? I thought about one of those home pregnancy things but didn't know how accurate it would be since the father's weren't human and technically, neither was I. I wondered how I would know if I was pregnant. Would I have the same symptoms as a human woman? Another question popped into my head, how many babies would I have at once? If memory served me, wolves had anywhere from four to six cubs but the couple I saw during the meet and greet thing only had one baby so maybe... "You're thinking again." Louis said as he kissed my neck. "Louis, how will we know if I'm pregnant?" I asked. The question threw him, "Umm I'm not sure. Our females just seem to know." he replied. Great, I'm "just supposed to know" so I could be pregnant and not even know it. I needed to find out before that night because from what they told me about it, I was in for a long rough night although they still hadn't given me any specifics. The one thing they did tell me was that if I wasn't pregnant now, I more than likely would be before the night was out which led to yet another question, how long would my pregnancy last? I needed to find a woman to talk to; these guys were going to be of no help in this area of our marriage. On one hand, I wanted to be pregnant but on the other hand, I hoped that I wasn't; I wanted to experience the moon time as it was meant to be experienced and if I got pregnant from that then so be it. Me, someone's mother. I had never thought about it before. I wasn't exactly scared but I was definitely nervous but then I had five men who would be devoted fathers. The baby (I just can't call it a cub) was going to be a very lucky kid. My changing lessons were going much better; I could now change my ears, face, hands and now my feet. My torso remained the same giving me a freakish appearance but it was progress. The first time I managed to change something other than my hands and ears, I chose to have Matt suck my clit while the others stroked themselves. That was quite a turn on, I'm finding out all kinds of things about myself. The next trick was learning how to walk on all fours; I can now fully sympathize with the animals that had to learn how to do this. Initially, the guys all changed into wolves, then one walked on either side of me propping me up so that I didn't fall over. They were kind of like my training wheels I guess. Then little by little they supported me less and less until I was able to walk albeit unsteadily. Now a few days later, I could walk without looking like a drunk on four legs, the running thing was going to take awhile but I was making progress. I was less than enthused about the color of my fur, it was a nondescript brown without any markings of any kind but then the rest of me hadn't changed yet so there was still some hope. I was in my office writing an article when Matt stuck his head in. "Sweetheart are you busy?" he asked. I stopped what I was doing and turned around. "Not for you I'm not, what's up?" I asked. "Louis told me that you had some questions about pregnancy so I asked one of the pack ladies to come talk with you. She's here if you're not too busy." I definitely wasn't too busy for this so I had him bring her in. It was the same girl that I had seen the night of the meet and greet. "Sweetheart this is Janie, Janie this is Allie mate to my brothers and me. She has some questions for you." Matt said as he led her into my office. He gave me a quick kiss and excused himself. I liked Janie; she was a petite dark haired girl who was on the shy side but very friendly. By the end of an hour, we were sure that I wasn't pregnant and I now knew what to look for. "You were right in not using the human pregnancy test, they don't work for us mostly because of the father or in your case fathers but we do share some of the same symptoms as human women. You might have morning sickness, your breasts might be tender but the biggest indicator is that you will be almost insatiable, it'll be the one time that you're going to give the guys a run for their money." "Oooh, I like that." I said making Janie laugh. "Me too." she replied. "Our pregnancies last about the same amount of time as a totally human woman and that's because of us, just be prepared to be spoiled rotten and don't even bother to fight it. I can't even begin to imagine what it'll be like with five of them, one was bad enough." Now for the million dollar question. "Janie, how many babies will I have?" She balked at the question and the answered me. "Allie you have to understand that you are mated to five of the most powerful men in this region. With that comes some pretty powerful sperm, you could have as many as five." "Five?" I asked. "The minimum will be two." she added. "But you had only one." I said. "Yes but Brian isn't of the Christianson line and he was human before as was I." Janie replied. Sweet Jesus! Five babies at once? I was suddenly tired. Janie left shortly after that leaving me to my thoughts of me tripping over crawling babies and sleepless, sexless nights. "Are you alright?" Matt asked coming into the office. "Five? I asked in response. "Do they even make maternity clothes that big?" Matt sat down and pulled me over into his lap. "Allie remember that there are five of us to help you and you will always have one or more of us around at any given time." The number five kept resonating through my head, how does one breast feed five babies? I wondered. I think that of all that I had experienced, this scared me more than anything. I didn't know how to take care of one baby let alone five of them. "Sweetheart, you're not even pregnant yet so relax." Matt said as he settled me more comfortably in his lap. He was right. I took a deep breath and tried to relax, when and if I got pregnant I wouldn't be alone and I would have the best care but still...five. At dinner, Paul and Tony told us that they had found a new spot for moon time, Kevin and Louis had already started moving the camp to the site. According to Tony, it was a nicer spot, was near the water and was easily defendable; the camp would be completely set up by tomorrow evening only needing supplies. My only request was for ingredients to make s'mores with and squeeze bottles filled with all kinds of yummy things. "We're way ahead of you on the bottles." Tony said with a wink, "Have you ever made love in the great outdoors?" he asked. I hadn't and I was looking forward to it, four more nights and it would be here. Even now, I could feel the sexual tension in the room and from every wolf that I met in passing. All of my guys were looking at me in love and lust and I couldn't wait until bedtime. Wolves Ch. 04 **** Finally, its here. The moon time night. We left for the camp early in the afternoon with the truck filled with everything that we could possibly need including three queen sized air mattresses with the built in pumps. Matt told me that they usually slept on the ground but that they wanted me to be comfortable hence the mattresses. The camp site was about an hour away from home and the tent was the size of a small house. The first thing that Tony did was set up the mattresses, when that was done he made them up and put me to bed. "Sleep baby, you're going to need it." he said. "Aren't you going to stay?" I asked. "No love, if I did I wouldn't be able to resist making love to you and that can't happen until tonight." he replied. More rules that no one bothered to tell me about I thought as I lay back and actually fell asleep. The smell of food cooking woke me up as well as the call of nature. I stretched, crawled from the mattress and went outside to see my guys totally nude. "Why are you still dressed?" Matt asked as he sipped on a beer. "A better question is why are you all naked? Aren't you afraid that someone will see you?" I asked. "Nope, there's no one around for miles and if they saw us... Oh well." Kevin replied, "Now go bare that cute ass of yours." he added. So now not only am I a polygamist and a wolf, I'm now a nudist oh and let's not forget exhibitionist and after tonight I might be adding mother to the list that was rapidly growing. I went to a secluded spot and emptied my bladder before going back to the tent. As I did, I felt an itch on my neck. I was being watched. I turned around in a complete 360 but saw no one but I knew that they were there. When I completed the circle, Louis was standing there watching me. I could see his wolf pacing restlessly waiting for the moon to rise. I discounted the feeling of being watched and attributed it to Louis. I walked over to him and kissed him before heading back to camp. The eyes of all five guys were on me when I slipped into the tent, maybe going out there naked wasn't such a good idea. They all looked like they were barely holding themselves in check and to be honest with you, as much as I wanted to experience this, I was scared. I knew that they would keep me safe but it was the fear of the unknown. Yes I had made love to all five of them at once but this was a different setting, here their baser natures would be out. I jumped when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Matt. "You're scared." he said gently. "A little, no make that a lot." I said. "Don't be, we would never hurt you." he said pulling me into his arms and kissing my head. I knew that, I really did but I needed to hear one of them say it. "Come on, you'd better eat something." he said leading me out of the tent. Kevin fixed my hamburger minus the pickle and tomato and put a spoonful of potato salad next to it. Did I mention that Marshall makes a mean potato salad? He adds shredded cheese to it anyway, I picked at my food; I was too nervous to eat. Paul stood behind me and rubbed my shoulders while Louis took the plate of barely touched food from me. Suddenly the sound of howls filled the air, it had started. Tony had already pulled a mattress from the tent and had just pulled out the second one when the howl started. The third mattress never made it out of the tent. Paul had stopped rubbing my shoulders but his hands hadn't moved. They felt hot to my skin, they were never cold but they felt much warmer than usual. I felt his cock pressing between my shoulder blades and even it felt hotter and harder than usual. In spite of my nervousness, I was wet. I could feel myself leaking in anticipation; my nipples were hard and needed to be in someone's mouth. Matt walked over to me and held out both hands, when I took them he led me to the mattresses and lay me down face up. The other four joined us pressing in wherever they could and then as one they howled five times before I was roughly moved to the center of the mattresses. Without warning, my legs were in the air and Matt was deep inside of me, I would find out later that this was one of the times when pregnancy was the most likely to happen. As soon as he pulled out Kevin took his place and so on. After the last of them took me, I was turned onto my stomach and put on my hands and knees and taken that way as well. I wasn't given any time to recover between orgasms and soon they all blended one into the other until it felt like one long one. Matt flipped me onto my back and looked down at me, I saw his wolf but very little of the Matt who I know loved me but there was enough of him there that I wasn't scared. "Close your eyes." Matt demanded, "and keep them closed." he added. I did as I was told and felt liquids both warm and cold being drizzled all over me. It seemed like forever until they were done drizzling me but I was covered from the neck down in gooey liquid, some of it thick and some of it thin. I tried to reach for the closest cocks not sure of who it belonged to until I heard the owner moan. I had Matt's in one hand and Paul's in another. I felt cocks sliding across my stomach and then felt one nudge my lips as soon as it was gone another goo covered cock took its place. It must have been time for the second deposit because each of them came inside of me again while the others sucked and licked my nipples; I jumped when I felt a vibrator slip into my ass. Matt who was inside of me at the time howled at the sensation of the vibrator in my ass and came saying my name. Kevin was next sliding in right after Matt; he pumped in and out of me with slow measured movements, increasing the speed when once again the vibrator was slipped into my ass. We did this five times, I was to the point where all anyone had to do was blow across my clit and I came. At one point, I was allowed to rest, I heard squeeze bottles and prepared for more goo but it was warm water. Bottle after bottle was emptied on me and then I was dried off, the sheets from the bed were long gone leaving my bare skin against the wet mattress. Paul picked me up and the mattress was flipped over and covered with a blanket. I had no idea of what time it was nor did I care, I didn't want this night to end, the fears about having five babies was gone and if I had to have five babies to do this again then I would without hesitation. I only knew that it was almost over because once again, each guy came deep inside of my womb but this time they each said something that I thought to be a prayer. The last thing to happen was that Matt and the others took me in the ass. That was the first time that anyone other than Matt had taken me there and I loved it. I wanted that to be part of our love making from now on. By five am, I was sore, exhausted and a very, very happy girl. The guys were crowded around me shielding me from the cold. Unfortunately, nature was calling so I very slowly moved from beneath the tangle of arms and legs. "Baby?" Tony called sleepily. "I'm fine, go back to sleep." I whispered. Misty It was only by a stroke of luck that their campsite had been found. One of the wolves that sided with me happened to be out and about on a run when he found it. Maybe luck was on my side after all but at any rate, we set up camp a few miles from them. I'm such a fucking glutton for punishment but I had to see what they did with her, if they were anywhere as rough with her as they had been with me and I was hoping for a chance for something, I just didn't know what. I had just finished fucking Calvin for the third time when I decided that it was time to go see what the other side was doing. By the time we got there, they had already done the first round of trying to impregnate her, they were rough with her but there was a love in that roughness if you know what I mean and they had mattresses for her! Me they fucked on the ground. Calvin and I watched the entire night as they made love to her and cared for her during a break. I wanted to slap Calvin when he made some comment about wanting to fuck her himself. I thought that I had done well in taking on all five of them but damn! She was over the top; I could hear her begging for more long past the time when I was asking them to stop. By four they were making the last attempt at impregnating her for this moon time, by five, they were done. They all crowded around her making it impossible to get close enough to do anything to her. For the second time, luck smiled down at me. I watched as she tried to disentangle herself from the mass of arms and legs that covered her. I heard one of them speak to her and her replying telling him to go back to sleep. I held my breath and waited for him to get up to follow her, when he didn't, I realized that we had been given an opportunity. We followed her to a tree that was located several feet behind the tent, I had Calvin circle around behind her ready to grab her and clamp her mouth shut so that she wouldn't scream. **** In retrospect, I really should have had one of the guys go with me but what the hell? We were in the middle of the woods and no one knew where the campsite was so I felt safe. I only realized that someone was behind me when it was too late. I felt a hand cover my mouth and the next thing I knew whoever had me was running away with the camp with me in his arms. I couldn't scream and no matter how hard I kicked, he kept running. I tried to shift but I guess that I was too panicked and couldn't do it. My only consolation was that Matt and the others would come looking for me. In the meantime, I would try to escape but I would kill that bitch Misty before I did. Wolves Ch. 05 I had no idea of where we were going. The brute carrying me was running so fast that I couldn't make out any landmarks not that I would have recognized anything anyway. I had to come up with a way for the guys to find me and did the only thing that I could think of, I pissed. I could only hope that all of it didn't land on the freak carrying me and some of it would end up on the ground. I also wondered if the guys had missed me yet. Misty Now that I had her, what in the hell was I going to so with her? In all of my planning, it never occurred to me that I would actually capture her. I could kill her but what if she was pregnant? Fuck! I should have just left her alone until I had a concrete working plan but it's too late for that now. I ran up ahead trying to decide where we could take her that she wouldn't be easily found. The fact was there was nowhere which left me two options, I could kill her and pay the consequences when they found me and note that I said when or I could let her go earning maybe half of a brownie point and living to fight another day. There was a third option if I was crazy enough to do it, I could keep her for ransom. If she was pregnant and there was a good chance that she was, they would do anything to get her ass back and I do mean anything. I had to hurry and make my decision, I could already hear the howls of rage and worry coming from the distance, they had just missed her. Fuck it, I'm keeping her. *** What is he doing? The brute stopped running but still held on to me angry that he was wearing my piss. Misty was standing in front of us trying to make up her mind about something. She looked at me, her brown eyes glittering with hate and determination as she debated about what do with me. "Take her to your place." she told him "What?" he asked not believing what she had just said. "I said take the bitch to your place" she repeated. I swear to god if she calls me a bitch once more.... The brute readjusted me so that I hung over his shoulder. My ass was in the air and I was buck naked. I hoped to god that some of my urine landed on the ground and not all on him. "Misty." I said calmly. "Let me go right now and I might let you live." She gave me an incredulous look and actually laughed before taking off with the brute carrying me following her. I don't know how far we went before Misty and the brute stopped again. He put me down just long enough to give his shoulders a rest. I took the opportunity to pee again hoping that the scent lasted awhile. I thought about running but I had no idea of where I was or how far we had gone. I decided that my best bet was to let them carry me and that I would leave whatever clues I could. If they were going to kill me, I would have run but she needed me alive, if anything happened to me she was just as good as dead which she was anyway. I meant it when I said that I would kill her before I escaped. I gave her a chance to let me go and she laughed but that isn't the reason that I have to kill her, if I don't whatever babies we have will never be safe and I would always be looking over my shoulder. This time before the brute picked me up; I took stock of my surroundings. I heard water to my right which meant that when I came back it should be on my left. I looked for colors that stood out in other words; I looked for anything that would lead me back home. I didn't fuss or scream as the brute picked me up but I sure as hell would remember what he smelled and looked like. Misty I don't like her compliance, I liked it better when she tried to get away but there is something else, I believed that she would try to kill me. Part of me even believed that she would succeed and if she didn't Matt and the others would so what did I have to lose by taking her? Absolutely nothing except my life but if I succeeded in hiding her until I could negotiate with them then I had everything to gain. After another short break we took off again, I saw her peeing and didn't say anything. Why? Because the only way her pee would smell any different was if she was pregnant and I didn't think that she was. Either way Matt would do whatever I wanted to get her back. **** That bitch was so dead never mind that I could barely run as a wolf but to fight as one? I could tell that she's perplexed by the fact that I'm not kicking or screamin. Good. It'll keep her off balance. I know that by now that I'm being searched for, not just by my guys but by the pack as a whole and they won't stop until they find me and then they won't stop until they find Misty and her merry band of wolves. It seemed like forever before we stopped again and this time they allowed me to take a drink of water while Misty scouted ahead. As I was drinking, I felt eyes on my ass. I turned around and stared at the brute who had been carrying me and felt led to warn him. "I don't know who you are and I really don't care but has Misty told you who I belong to?" I asked. His silence told me that she hadn't. "I bet you and her watched us last night didn't you?" I asked. Again there was silence. "Who did she say that I was? Did she say that I was some whore they picked up or was it that I was one of the few that could handle the five Christianson brothers and they brought me to use for the night?" Pay dirt. He had no idea of who I was. I could tell by the blank look on his face. I walked over to him still staring at him. "Look at my marks." I said. "Do these look like the marks of a whore?" I asked. He looked at the marks and paled, "Sweet mother of God." he swore as he realized who I was. "She said...." "I don't care what she said because when Matt and the others find you it won't matter. You'll be just as dead as she is." I said cutting him off. "I'm going to give you a word of advice, if you want to live leave now and don't ever come back here. If you do, Matt and his brothers will kill you and I can promise you that it won't be a quick death and if you go, spread the word that Misty is a liar and that she is not to be trusted." The brute looked at me, turned tail and ran as fast as he could passing Misty along the way. I could hear her screaming for him to come back under the threat of death but he kept running. I sat on the ground by the water and waited for her to reach me, when she did I could see the cold fury on her face. "Looks like it's just you and me." I said. "You really should have let me go like I told you to." I said as I stood up and walked over to her. *** Misty I ran ahead to see if there was any place that we could hide for the night, we were still a long ways from Calvin's place. In retrospect, I should have sent him and I could have stayed with Allie but anyway, I didn't see anyplace and was on my way back to them when I'm passed by Calvin running as fast as he could. "What the fuck?" I asked myself as he blew by me. I called to him but it was useless. The thing was, Allie didn't even try to run away, she was sitting on the ground as if she was waiting for me. When she stared at me, I saw her wolf and that meant only one thing, she could change. When she told me that I should have let her go, she was right. I should have, I realized that I was more like Vincent than I thought, I allowed my wants to dictate my decisions and it had cost me. Was it too late to let her go? Maybe but maybe not but if I did, she would see that as a sign of weakness but not only that, I will have forever lost the element of surprise. Shit! I cursed myself for not just walking away from her; I cursed myself for not walking away from her now simply because I didn't want to appear weak. I realized that this was it, she would kill me, I would kill her or we would kill each other. *** She knew that she had made a mistake, she was even contemplating whether it was too late to let me go and the answer was yes. If I didn't end this now, she would be back and she would keep coming back until I eventually killed her anyway. Was I looking forward to this? Hell no! I'd never been in a fight in my life as a human so how in the hell was I supposed to fight as a wolf? I watched as she changed into her wolf, she was stunning! Her coat was a silver gray that matched the gray of her eyes. Damn it! Why was everyone prettier than I was? I closed my eyes and tried to change and... nothing. Not even my ears. I opened my eyes to see Misty still in wolf form laughing at me. She had decided that I was nothing to be afraid of and that I would be an easy kill and if I didn't change she would be right. I closed my eyes again and heard Matt's voice. "Sweetheart, you're making it harder than it has to be. Don't try to push it just let it happen, think of it as us making love to you, when you come you don't have to force it, it just happens." I opened my eyes just in time to see Misty charging me, I had managed to change but hadn't had time to get my wolf's legs but in this case, that was a good thing. I lost my balance just as she got to me; she was going too fast to stop. *** Misty What the fuck? She can't change? But that's not possible! I saw her wolf staring at me! I wasn't going to let this opportunity pass so I charged her but just as I started my charge, she changed. It was too late for me to stop so I kept going actually knocking her over then it occurred to me, she hadn't mastered the basics yet. This was going to be so damned easy! I skidded to a stop and turned around to see her struggling to her feet. She wasn't as strong as I thought, I wanted to toy with her but I didn't know how much time I had before Matt found her. I had to end this quickly; I thought that I heard her name being called in the distance. *** I finally got to my feet and tried to steady myself. Now what? I wondered. She was clearly the experienced fighter and if I didn't do something, I was toast. I had to wonder if Matt's advice about the change would work in this situation. I had no choice but to try, I closed my eyes and let the wolf take over. In other words, I put my life in its hands er... paws. I found myself steadier on my feet and completely let myself go or I thought I did. All of a sudden there was a sharp burning pain in my right shoulder. The bitch attacked while I was doing... what was I doing? Oh yeah, I was trying to let myself go. Well that did it, I heard my wolf howl even as I screamed in pain but the next time she charged, I was ready or my wolf was. She (my wolf) snapped as Misty as she went by but only hit air but when Misty passed by again, my wolf hit flesh. I actually tasted the blood from the bite. EW! Misty was caught off guard and stumbled at which time my wolf jumped on her and tried to pin her down. We rolled on the ground and got close to the creek, not good as I can't swim but we managed not to roll into the water. I don't know how long we fought but I was getting tired but so was she. She managed to shake me off and tried to run away but my wolf and I caught her. This time, Misty didn't get away. I closed my eyes as my wolf ripped Misty's throat out. I can't even begin to explain to you how that felt, I had never killed a human or an animal before and I was sick. That it had to be done didn't help, that she was going to kill me didn't help either. Why couldn't she have just left us the hell alone? I closed my eyes and lay on the ground tired and thirsty but I had no strength to move. My right shoulder hurt and I wanted to go home to my guys. I don't know how long I lay there before I woke up cold, in pain and hungry. I looked over at Misty's body and threw up all thoughts of food were gone. I'm not too proud to admit that I sat there and cried for several minutes before I struggled to my feet and headed back in the direction that we had come from. "Allie!" I stopped, listened and heard nothing so I started walking again. "Allie!" Tony? I started screaming and running in the direction that the voice was coming from. When I couldn't run anymore I sat down and cried. Maybe I hadn't heard Tony's voice, maybe... "Allie honey where are you? Stay put and call out we'll find you." Paul. "I'm here!" I called until someone, Louis found me. "Oh God Allie! Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked as he looked me over and kissed my face. "Shit!" he cursed before calling out for the others. "She's hurt let's get her home." he said when Matt and the others arrived. I was wrapped in a warm blanket and given sips of something warm that tasted like dirty socks and carried back to the truck. "Is she alright?" Kevin asked anxiously. "She's cut a slash on her shoulder and she's cold and hungry but I think she's alright." Paul said hugging me close. "Sweetheart, which way did Misty go?" Matt asked. "I.... I... Killed her" I said and started to cry, "I had to, she was going to kill me, I told her to let me go ..." "It's over now." Paul said in the sing song voice of his. "Close your eyes and sleep." I actually did fall asleep so I didn't know that they had circled back to see if they could find Misty's body. They found it not too far from where they had found me and left it for the scavengers. When I woke up, I was in a nice clean bed, I had been bathed and my wound cleansed and by now it was almost healed. All of my guys were in bed with me and touching me. It didn't escape me that I could have died or at the very least been more seriously hurt. The only good thing about this was that Misty was gone for good; I hoped that I never had to kill again. It was the most god awful feeling to know that you caused someone's death no matter the reason. For the three days after my ordeal, I wasn't allowed out of bed. Every few hours a different brother came to sit with me. There was no lovemaking allowed unless it was simply to pleasure me, I begged and pleaded that I was well enough for the good stuff but Matt was firm in his decision. He and the others just wanted me to rest and I guess I saw the wisdom in his decision but damn! Within a week I was up and about mostly because I insisted, we were making love again mostly because I insisted. I was tired of being treated like a china doll. As far as I was concerned, I more than proved myself and it was time for them to stop coddling me. After a very long discussion, they agreed and we came to an understanding on a few other things. Matt asked me why I went off alone that morning. I told him that I thought that I was safe; we were after all in the middle of nowhere and... I wanted a few minutes of alone time. You have to remember that I lived alone for years before Matt and the guys showed up and then suddenly I'm married to five guys and it's been quite the adjustment. "Why didn't you say something?" he asked. Why didn't I say something? Because I thought that this is the way it's supposed to be, because I didn't want to hurt their feelings and that's what I told them. "Allie," Kevin said. "We may be a lot of things but mind readers aren't one of them, there are some things that we instinctively know like which one of us you need in certain situations but things like needing time alone is something that you have to tell us. This is a marriage like any other marriage with the exception that there are more of us and what that means is that we have to tell each other what we need and trust that those needs are going to be met if possible. What I need from you is for you to stop forgetting that you have us and for you to start trusting us more." I did trust them! And I told them that. "Fine, so why didn't you tell us what you needed? Tony asked. "Because..." and then I stopped, Kevin was right. I had to get rid of the 'I'm alone' mindset, but I really didn't want to hurt their feelings. "I really didn't want to hurt your feelings." I said. "Sweetheart, there are seven adults living in this house all of us with very different personalities and quirks, feelings are going to get hurt even if its unintentional. Would our feelings been hurt if you had told us that you needed time to yourself? Maybe but maybe not and if they were we would have gotten over it. If we hurt each other's feelings, we acknowledge it, apologize and move on that's all there is to it. But what hurts my feelings and maybe some of the others is that you didn't feel comfortable enough to come to one of us and tell us what was going on. It makes me wonder what we're doing wrong and what else you're not telling us" Matt said. Double and triple damn! You know that saying, 'it's not you it's me?' As cliché as it sounds, that was the case here and I had some major sucking up to do but first I had to lay my cards out on the table. "Guys, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, that wasn't my intent and you're right; I should have told one or all of you what I needed but that isn't your fault. I still haven't completely made the adjustment to the fact that I'm not alone anymore but I'm trying. As far as what I need, I need some alone time and I don't mean a weekend away from you or anything like that but one afternoon and evening a week so that I can go shopping, get my nails and hair done or whatever I want. Can we do that?" I asked. "That wasn't so hard was it?" Louis asked with a smile. "No and I'm really sorry that I didn't speak up before." I replied. "Apology accepted." Matt said. "Now, let's clarify a few things, Allie you are our mate and not a prisoner. You can go wherever you like with one exception and this is not negotiable, you are never to go into the woods alone under any circumstances. Even though Misty is dead there are others who would hurt you no matter who you belonged to, is that clear?" This was the pack leader and not my husband speaking and definitely not the time to be a wise ass. "I got it, no going into the woods alone especially if I'm wearing red." I replied. Damn it! I wasn't going to do that and I giggled, that was until I saw Matt's wolf glaring at me even though the others Kev included were chuckling. "Sorry, I understand." I said. "Good, next thing, if you go shopping make sure that you have your cell phone on and that you let someone know that you're leaving and where you're going, as far as the evening time, you let us know when that's going to be. One last thing, no more hiding things. Agreed?" *** Moon time again already and I can hardly wait! Kev and Louis have found another site. Paul and Tony were packing up the other one. This time I wasn't going to go off alone, I learned my lesson last month. Like the last time there were bottle of gooey stuff and a few more toys and I was tied up in every which way that a person could be tied up. This moon night was even more amazing than the last if that's even possible; peanut butter was added to the list of flavors so was raspberry and peach. After the first of what I call the 'knock Allie up rounds" was over, I was drenched in a mixture of flavors and consistencies and then licked clean and then drenched again. Matt or was it Louis suggested that we play "whose cock is it anyway?" I think it was a game that they thought up but anyway the deal was this. I was blindfolded and presented with a cock coated with a flavor after cleaning the cock off with my mouth; I had to guess who it belonged to. I knew that each of the guys had their favorite flavor but I knew that they would mix it up so I had to go by feel. The first cock was covered with a thin layer of peanut butter, after I cleaned it off; I explored it with my tongue much to the delight of the owner. I heard a sharp hiss, Tony. He always did that when he was close to coming and trying not to. I finished him off and then pulled back and said his name. "How'd you know?" He asked. "Not saying, a girl's gotta have some secrets." I said and then I asked for a drink of water. Wolves Ch. 05 I guessed three out of the five but the two that I missed wouldn't identify themselves telling me that this was going to be added to our lovemaking repertoire. The next game was a variation of the last except it was called 'whose mouth is it anyway?' You got it, I had to guess whose mouth was eating me out- I totally loved this game! Tony I guessed easily, like I've said before he's got his own style and he couldn't hide it. The rest were a lot harder and I guessed only one of them right and as before, the ones that I guessed wrong wouldn't tell me who they were. It was time for another round of trying to get me pregnant and after that we made love in everyway possible and yes, it was as rough as I liked. Before I knew it, the night was almost over. My only consolation was that we would get to do this again in another month. This moon night ended the way the last one should have; I got to spend time alone with each brother. Call it a mini recommitment ceremony if you like but basically we talked, and said impromptu vows before loading up and going home. Once again, I was an extremely happy girl. *** The next big event was the New Years bash hosted by none other than us. It was the biggest event of the year and always took place on the first of February. Why? I don't know but it's always been that way. Marshall was making a big tub and I do mean tub of that yummy potato salad of his, I was making sandwiches, Matt was checking on the seating and sound system in what I called the club house and the other four were in town making last minute purchases. I was feeling really good until suddenly, I had a hot flash and a bout of nausea so bad that I had to hold on to the table. I stopped what I was doing and ran outside into the cool air hoping that it would help. While it helped the hot flash, it did nothing for the nausea and I tossed my cookies until there was nothing left to toss. I sat on the cold ground and put my head between my knees because I was now dizzy. I should have realized right then what was happening, hot flash+ nausea + vomiting + dizziness=? I was pregnant. But it took Matt to turn the light on so to speak. Marshall must have gone to get him because suddenly he was sitting next to me with his arm around me. "You alright?" he asked. "I think so, I just don't feel too good right now." I replied as I laid my head on his shoulder. I told him what happened and he was quiet for several minutes. "Allie, I think that we're pregnant." He said softly. I sat up a little to fast and had to close my eyes until the world stopped spinning. It had to have been during the last moon time or soon after so I wasn't very far along, less than a month. I did a quick count in my head. The baby or babies would be due in September or early October depending on when I got pregnant. Then I had another thought, I would be pregnant when Dee and the twerp came, it was going to be an interesting visit. "Come on love, let's get you to bed." Matt said helping me up and then picked me up to carry me up the stairs. Usually I would have argued with him but I was too tired. He helped me undress and tucked me in getting in behind me and holding me close with his hands resting on my stomach. We were going to have babies! I woke up to excited but hushed whispers outside of the door. Matt was gone but I assumed that he was one of the whisperers, he was telling them about the babies. A thought crossed my mind, how had Glenda had one baby at a time? And how was it that I was going to have anywhere from two to five or six? "Guys! I'm awake!" I called out. Within seconds, I was surrounded by five very happy men who were trying to talk all at once. Matt whistled and the room got quiet. One by one my guys kissed me and touched my stomach before lying on the bed with me. I woke up with only Tony in the bed with me. The rest had gone downstairs to finish the preparations for the party which would take place the next night. Apparently the plan was for me to stay in bed and rest until the party and of course I fought it. "I'm pregnant not sick!" I protested. "Honey we know that but tomorrow night is going to be a long night and I can tell by looking at you that you're tired." He said. He had me there but I wanted to help and I couldn't do that lying in bed. "Tell you what, if you promise to stay put, I'll take you downstairs and sit you by the fireplace." "But I want to help." I protested. "The only way that you're leaving this bed is if you promise to stay put." Tony replied. "Fine!" I snapped. "Damn I love it when you're mad." he said as he got out of bed and picked me up. What ended up happening was that I begged and pleaded so bad- in other words I made myself a real pain in the ass that Matt took me to the kitchen so that I could help Marshall as long as I promised to stay in my chair. It was going to be a long nine months. That night, I slept like a baby, for the first part of it anyway. I woke up for two reasons, one, I needed to use the bathroom and two, I was horny. Matt got up so that I could go to the bathroom and sat on the side of the bed waiting for me to come back. When I came out of the bathroom, and climbed back into bed, I grabbed his cock and stroked it. "Allie, you need to..." I gave his cock a squeeze and then stroked it. "Make love to me." I whispered as I reached behind me and grabbed Kevin's cock. I swear that he jumped ten feet off the bed. "What the hell?" he asked. "Our mate needs some attention." Matt said as he kissed me. In minutes all five guys were awake and it was all about me. We had to relearn what my pain limits were because I was so much more sensitive. I now understood why Matt said that there was to be no rough lovemaking and because of that sensitivity the orgasms were every bit as intense as before. I don't know how many times I came before I felt sated and fell asleep but I definitely liked this part of being pregnant. I woke up late afternoon feeling much better than I had the night before. Kevin was still sleeping with his arms wrapped around me. When I tried to get up, he muttered. "Where do you think you're going?" "Bathroom, do you want to come hold my hand?" I teased. "Do you want me to?" he teased back. I loved Kevin's sense of humor in and out of bed. He was as light hearted as Matt was serious although Matt had his moments. Lunch was waiting when I came out from the bathroom and I ate every bit of it and part of Kevin's. I was definitely feeling better. The party officially started at seven but people began arriving at six-thirty which wasn't a problem because we were ready. One or more of the guys was always with me even if I had to use the restroom; did I mention that it was going to be a long nine months? I mean I understood that they didn't want anyone trying to snatch me like Misty did but this was almost overkill. There was security everywhere so who would be stupid enough to try to take me here? But then again Misty and her friend took me when I was close to our campsite. Determined to have a good time, I pushed the security out of my mind. When I came out of the bathroom, the hall was quiet. Glenda and Darrin were here. God help me but I don't think that I could go through another grilling. Matt smiled and winked when he saw me approach. The others stood next to him in line according to age. Tony, the one who had gone with me to the bathroom this time gave my hand a little squeeze and took his place in the lineup. This time, Glenda was casually dressed which made me feel better because I was dressed like I was before, in jeans and a tee shirt. Darrin smiled at me and then took my hands in his, bent down and kissed my cheek. Glenda did the same thing but held on to my hands as she spoke. "Matt Just told us the news! How are you feeling?" she asked. "A little tired but otherwise I'm fine." I replied. "Good and he also told us about the whole Misty thing, you did well." Just how long was I in the bathroom? I wondered. "Thank you but I didn't want to kill her and I hope that I never have to kill anyone again." I replied. "That is something that we all hope for." Glenda replied. I liked her I decided, I wasn't so sure before but she was alright. The music and party had already restarted by the time we sat down. Matt went to get us drinks as Glenda and I chatted. "We are so excited about the babies! Aren't we Darrin?" she said taking his hand in hers. "We are." He confirmed with a smile. Here was my chance to find out why Glenda had single births while I was having multiple babies. "Glenda? May I ask a question and I hope that it's not too personal." I said "You can ask me anything! We're family." Glenda replied. I took a deep breath and asked my question hoping that I wasn't being too personal in spite of what she said. "I can't answer that." Glenda replied, "It was something that we talked about and we still don't understand it." Well so much for that I thought. A few minutes later, the room had gone quiet again and I wondered who was coming. When no one came through the door, I wondered what was happening. Then as one, all of the guys stood up and walked toward the front. Matt as prime pack leader spoke, essentially it was a welcome and then the announcement of our pregnancy which was met with a round of applause. Matt had me go up front to introduce me to those who hadn't met me at our reception. I saw Janie and waved at her, she waved back and blew me a kiss. We had become good friends since we talked weeks ago, as a matter of fact; she became my shopping and coffee buddy. As much as I liked her, I didn't like her husband Brian and he didn't like me. I don't know why and I really didn't care except that his dislike seemed to increase once word of Misty's demise spread. Unbeknownst to me, Matt picked up on something too; I wouldn't find that out until later that evening. As we made our way to our table, we were intercepted by Janie and Brian. Janie hugged me tight and congratulated me promising to call to set up a day to go baby shopping. Brian was looking at me with something akin to hatred and tried to hide it when he caught Matt looking at him. "Brian, could I have a word with you?" Matt asked with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. Oh snap! This so wasn't good. Brian paled and walked off with Matt. "Are you alright? We heard about that thing with Misty. To be honest with you, I'm glad the bitch is gone but I'm sorry that you were the one to do it." Janie said holding my hand. "Me too." I replied. "That bitch is the one who turned Brian..." "What?" I said interrupting her. "Yeah, she and Brian used to be a couple but she didn't tell him what she was and well... you know the rest. The sad part is that he loves me but he loved her too and maybe now that she's gone he can move on." That explained the looks and it also explained how those wolves got onto our property a couple of months ago. Misty had taken advantage of Brian's feelings for her and got him to help her. Matt and Brian came back a few minutes later with Brian looking contrite. Matt had apparently given him a good dressing down as he wouldn't even look at Janie but I felt that I had to say something. "Brian, I'm sorry about Misty. Janie told me that you two had a history but she did try to kill me." I said. "I know, Matt explained what happened. I'm sorry too, I believed everything that she told me about you and didn't use my brain." Now that we had reached an understanding, I was good. Brian and I might never be friends but that was alright as long as Janie and I could remain friends. The party ended around five. The hall was a total disaster area but the cleaning crew would take care of it. I was in a word: horny, thought I was going to say whipped didn't you? I'm that too but horny wins hands down. I was up the stairs, naked and in bed before the guys even realized that I was missing. I have to admit that I started without them; I didn't have the patience to wait. "Started without us?" Kevin asked. I didn't answer; it was the one thing that drove him nuts. "Allie." he said again. I didn't respond knowing damned well what was going to happen and I wasn't disappointed. Kev pulled me of the bed, draped me across his lap and spanked me. It wasn't as hard as previous ones but it was just as effective. By the time he finished, I was crying for him to finish me off which he did gladly, as each guy came into the room, I pushed their buttons; Louis I called Louie etcetera... The morning ended with a total body massage from Paul that sent me into a deep sleep that I didn't wake up from until early evening. **** We had a week of peace before the next issue came up. Cecil. Dee called to touch base and to confirm that they were still coming for two weeks. "Look for us on June first. Allie we are so excited to see you! Even Tyler is smiles whenever we talk about the trip." Something about the last part of that statement struck me wrong. Remember that I said that Tyler was my heart? Something told me that my little heart was hurting and I wondered why. The next issue was whether I told her that I had gotten married now or did I wait until they got here. The other issue is that I would probably be as big as a house which would be a double whammy, so now it is. "Umm Dee, I moved." There was a shocked silence before she spoke. "Moved? Where? I thought that you were going to die up there with a book in your hand." she said. "Well things have changed a lot." I replied. My stomach was doing flip flops as I waited for her response. "Do tell." she replied. "I... I got married." There was another shocked silence and then she laughed, she didn't believe me. "Who'd you marry? Grizzly Adams?" she asked still laughing. "Dee, I'm serious. I got married a few months ago." She stopped laughing; apparently she heard the seriousness in my voice. "Why didn't you invite us to the wedding?" she asked hurt. "It was kind of sudden but you'll meet them when you get here." I said and waited for her to question what I meant by them but she didn't, she was too busy being hurt that I hadn't told her sooner. "So what's up? How come you kept this a secret?" she asked obviously still hurt. "I didn't think that you'd understand and as I said, it happened rather quickly." I replied which wasn't a lie. Dee didn't say anything for several minutes. "Tell me about him, is he tall? You always did have a thing for tall men. Is he gorgeous? What does he do for a living?" she asked in rapid succession. "Slow down!" I laughed relieved that she was over being hurt. "Yes he's tall and yes he's gorgeous and he does a lot of things for work." How's that for getting around telling her that I had five husbands? The description that I gave her fit every last one of them. "So what's the new last name or are you one of those modern women who want to keep her maiden name?" she asked. "Christianson." I told her. "Allie Christianson, I like it. I can't wait to tell Cecil!" We hung up shortly after that. It was now March, I had four months to explain Matt and the others but then I realized something; I didn't have to explain them. They were my husbands and I was having their babies and if Cecil didn't like it, he could take his narrow beady-eyed ass back to California. Even as I thought that, the feeling that there was something more to this visit returned. As I said there is no love lost between Cecil and I and I found it hard to believe that it was his idea to visit me. "Hi baby." Tony said coming up behind me, wrapping his arms around me and putting his hands on my stomach. "What are you thinking so hard about?" he asked as he rubbed my stomach. "Tell you what, why don't we wait until dinner and I'll tell you then. That way I only have to say it once." That was pretty much standard procedure for us, that way any questions could be answered and misunderstandings avoided. Marshall was as excited about the babies as the guys were often asking permission to touch my stomach. He was really excited when we asked him to be the godfather to the babies, after that he touched my stomach as often as the others. The fact that he was the godfather also granted him to be present when the babies were born which sent him over the moon so instead of five men catering to my every whim, I now had six. Every week I seemed to grow bigger, each guy took a turn at going with me to the doctor, when it was closer to the time all of them, Marshall included would go with me. My sexual appetite seemed to grow right along with my size, it was as Janie said; I wore the guys out and I loved hearing them beg for a rest. I was determined to enjoy this as much as I could. The one thing that I noticed was that all of me, my nipples and clit especially were sensitive. They barely had to be touched and I came. The guys soon wised up and just touched me when they were too tired to keep going. I loved being pregnant and all that comes with it. The house was coming along nicely, Matt decided to have another wing added and it was almost done. One of the extra bedrooms became a storage room where we stored the bassinets and the other baby furniture that we would need. I bought some baby clothes but not much as I didn't know if we were having boys or girls or a mix of the two. I did buy some unisex sleepers and a few other things, we were all so excited. Once the visit with Cecil was over, I could fully enjoy being pregnant and being married to five of the hottest guys around. The other nice thing was that it was nice not worrying about Misty or what she might be up to. April and May passed in a blur and before I knew it, June first was here. Dee had just called and told me that they were about an hour away. The guys were around saying that there was no way in hell that they were leaving me alone with my family namely Cecil. I saw the mini van pull into the drive and my large pregnant stomach did a flip. As the van got closer to the house I could see beady eyed Cecil behind the wheel looking around as he drove in. Matt helped me out of the chair and kissed me as did the other five. Ready or not, here we go off to face the next challenge. Wolves Ch. 06 The van stopped and the boys jumped out glad to be out of the confines of the van and away from Cecil. I could see Cecil still looking around and trying to figure out just how much money the house and property was worth. Dee got out, stretched and walked toward me, her mouth dropping when she saw my big belly. While she walked toward me the two older boys were hugging me almost knocking me off balance which they would have if the guys hadn't been standing behind me. Dee walked up to me and touched my stomach in awe. "Allie, you're pregnant!" she exclaimed. "Uh yep." I replied not sure of what I was supposed to say. It was then that I noticed that my little heart hadn't greeted me. I looked around Dee and saw him standing off by himself looking uncertain and scared. I looked over at Cecil who was standing by the van and then looked back at Tyler, there was something going on here, I just knew it. I opened my arms to Tyler and watched as he ran toward me. I could feel his little body shake with fear or relief as he hugged me, maybe it was both. Cecil still hadn't moved but looked at each of my guys trying to figure out where they fit into things. I was so looking forward to shocking his racist ass. By mutual agreement, we decided that the only one that I would introduce as my husband was Matt; we would introduce the others later after the boys were in bed. I took a deep calming breath as Cecil finally decided to approach me. "Allie." he said in what he thought was professional tone. "Cecil." I replied using the same tone but I was really mocking him. I really wasn't in the mood for games, I had to go to the bathroom again and I was hungry. "Some place you got here, you marry into money?" he asked looking around. Did I mention that Cecil was tactful? Not. By this time, Matt was standing behind me but not quite touching me. "Who are these guys?" Cecil asked. "Your help? It's good to see a brother get ahead, where is your husband? I want to shake his hand" he asked looking around. This was too much for Matt. "You must be Cecil, Allie's cousin. I'm Matt Christianson Allie's husband." he said reaching around me and extending his hand. Oh my freakin' god! I wish that I had a video camera! I would have won the prize on 'America's funniest Video' Cecil's mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air. I won't lie, I laughed. I couldn't help it. Matt put his arms around me and placed his hands on my stomach to emphasize the point. "Oh, I just meant..." "I know exactly what you meant." Matt replied dryly interrupting Cecil. The look on Cecil's face was almost initiative enough for me to introduce the other four but there were children present. Now I really had to pee and suggested that we go inside where lunch was waiting. Marshall made a huge pan of lasagna complete with garlic bread. Lunch was tense at best with the only chatter being that of the boys with the exception of Tyler filling me in on everything from ballgames to girlfriends to grades. It disturbed me how quiet Tyler was, he was never a talkative child but this was quiet even for him. After lunch the boys were raring to go but Matt kept them at the table. "Ok guys, we're glad that you're here. Your aunt has been looking forward to seeing you and we've been looking forward to meeting you. While you have the run of the place there are a few rules with the most important one being that you are to never go into the woods alone or together . It's a big place and it wouldn't take much for you to get lost. If you want to go hiking or fishing just ask any one of us and we'll be happy to take you. The other thing is, keep away from the construction area there are enough places for you to run and play without you going anywhere near there." I looked over at Cecil, he was seething. The boys were responding to Matt in a way that they had never responded to him. Even Tyler seemed to relax under Matt's very no nonsense tone because as firm as it was, there was the feeling of safety and genuine caring and that's what they were responding to. "There is also internet for your use in the library; I only ask that you share the computer and that you stay out of any rooms where the doors are closed. Any questions?" Matt asked. The boys looked at each other and shook their heads no, eager to be on their way. I took another peek at Cecil; he was royally pissed that another man, a white man at that could inspire such excitement and obedience in his children. Cecil Jr. buddied up with Matt which didn't surprise me, he had the makings of an alpha male. David buddied up with Kevin again no big surprise as he too was alpha but to a slightly lesser degree. What is it that they say? That power recognizes power? At any rate, they took off and left poor little Tyler just sat there looking like a little lost lamb, that is until Marshall walked in. As soon as Marshall walked in, Tyler's eyes were glued to him. I watched as Tyler sat up even straighter when Marshall looked at him and the amazing thing was this, shy little Tyler met Marshall's gaze. I wasn't the only one watching, Dee and the twerp were watching as well and I think that they were as surprised as I was. "Hi, I'm Marshall. I work for your aunt and your uncle Matt and your uncles" Marshall said. "What's your name little man?" "Tyler" my little heart said softly. "Well Tyler, I just happen to be free if you want to buddy up." Marshall said. I could have kissed him, in that one brief exchange, Tyler relaxed. It was as if Marshall sprinkled fairy dust over Tyler making whatever was worrying him disappear. The lines of anxiety that had been on his face disappeared and a smile replaced it. Dee's mouth dropped open for the second time that day and Cecil's displeasure was evident, it was as if he didn't want Tyler to have a good time. "Tyler" he said. Tyler looked at him and the anxiety was back just that quickly. "Don't make a pest of yourself." Cecil said. "Yes sir." Tyler said softly. Now wait a damned minute! What in the hell was that about? He didn't say that to the other boys. Why was he always so hard on Tyler? Once again, Marshall came to the rescue and put a smile back on Tyler's face. "Come on little man; let's see what we can get into." Marshall said holding his hand out to Tyler. After they left the only ones at the table was me, Dee, Cecil, Paul, Tony and Louis. For several minutes no one spoke and when they did it was Tony. "Cecil we'd be glad to give you a tour of the place that way Allie and Dee can get caught up." I swear to you that I saw the dollar signs going through Cecil's brain when he answered. "I'd like that, so what exactly is your role here?" Cecil asked. "Oh a little of everything." Tony replied. "Including taking care of Allie." He said with a smile. Cecil didn't know what to make of that, neither did Dee for that matter and speaking of Dee, she wasn't her usual chatty self but I chalked it up to her being tired and didn't think any more about it. When the guys left, I took Dee on a tour of the house. "Geez Allie you did good!" she said as we toured the house. "So where'd you meet Matt?" she asked when I showed her where she and the twerp would be sleeping. I decided to stick to the truth and told her how Matt and his brothers got stuck in the snowstorm. At first I didn't think that she believed me and then she started laughing. "Only you would rescue a lost traveler and have him be filthy rich!" I don't know why, but the way that she said it hit me wrong and it was important that she knew that I loved Matt and the others money or not. "Dee, their money has nothing to so with it." I said realizing that I had used the plural again. Once again she seemed not to notice or if she did she didn't let on. "So when is the baby due?" she asked changing the subject not indicating whether she believed me or not "Late September or early October." I replied. I wasn't about to tell her that I was carrying anywhere from two to six babies. She would seriously freak and then want to come back to help when they were born and I don't think that I could stand another visit from Cecil that soon. They hadn't even been here a day and I was already wanting him gone and we still had thirteen days left. "Are you sure? You look a lot bigger." she replied. "I'm sure" I said but I had something else I wanted to talk about-Tyler. "Dee what's up with Tyler?" I asked. "Nothing, why?" she asked as she roamed around the bedroom that she and Cecil would be sleeping in. "I don't remember him being so quiet and he seemed scared." I replied. "He's always like that." Dee replied, "It seems different to you because you haven't seen him for a while." she added. I wasn't any more convinced of that than I was that Cecil wanted to visit out of the goodness of his greedy racist heart. There was something he wanted and I think that I know what it is: money. Let me explain that, Cecil has always had grand dreams of being as rich as "the man" and as of yet, he hadn't met that goal. Don't get me wrong, he does very well at least he says he does but he has to work for it, do you see what I mean? Now, here's where I come in, I still have quite a bit of the money that had been left to me. On and off Cecil has tried to talk me into investing in this scheme or that and I'd always refused partly because I wasn't interested and secondly you couldn't pay me to go into business with him-I simply don't like him. Now that he's seen the house my guess is that he's going to try to get one or all of my guys to invest in whatever he's got cooked up. Yes I know that I said that he was a racist but money knows no color if you catch my drift. If he thought for one minute that Matt or any of the others was going to give him a dime, he was nuts. It just wasn't going to happen and he definitely wasn't getting any from me. Dee and I talked for a couple of hours so I missed my right after lunch nap and lovemaking session which can make for a very grouchy Allie but I managed to behave myself. The one thing that I can say about Dee is that she's intuitive or maybe it was the memory of her own pregnancies that made her ask me if she was keeping me from a nap. I couldn't lie and say no. I was exhausted and I needed my guys and I didn't know how that was going to happen. Dee wanted to take a nap before supper herself so that made it easy. I glanced at the clock, it was almost four and dinner would be at six. Marshall decided the boys would enjoy an old fashioned wienie roast, you know cooking them over an open fire on sticks and let's not forget the s'mores. Dee and I parted ways with me leaving her in the bedroom and I headed toward ours. Damn I was horny! I did have one option and that was to take care of myself as I had in the past. I preferred my guys but it would have to do, if anything it would take the edge off of my horniness and then I could be civil to Cecil or try to be. I opened the door to the bedroom and what did I see? A very naked and hard Louis. Oh happy day! "How'd you get out of the tour?" I asked as I undressed. "Did you really think that we would let you suffer?" he asked teasing me. "I just told Cecil that I had some work to do in the house. I just didn't say where or what it was now get over here, times a wastin'" he said. I should have known that they would have worked something out. I got into bed with Louis and we went at it getting right to the point. Remember that he's the one I go to if I need a quickie and that's exactly what this was, a very satisfying quickie. It wasn't enough but it helped to take the edge off. I actually napped for about an hour before Louis woke me up. Like lunch, dinner was a very tense affair with one difference, Tyler was smiling and actually talking to Paul or at least he was until Cecil opened his big mouth. "Tyler! Let the man eat in peace!" he snapped. Tyler immediately fell silent and looked down. Maybe it was hormones or maybe it was because I couldn't stand to see my little heart hurt but I'd had it. "Cecil, leave him alone, he wasn't hurting anyone and he's having a good time." I said. I should tell you that we all agreed that I would handle Cecil unless he got out of hand or what the guys considered being out of hand. Well let me tell you, Cecil huffed and puffed before he decided to open his big mouth. "I will thank you not to tell me how to control my children." Cecil said sharply. Matt was sitting next to me with an arm around my waist and I felt him tense. "I'm not telling you how to control your children I'm just saying let him have some fun. It didn't look like Paul was being bothered." I said. "I wasn't." Paul said. "You've got some pretty smart kids, you must be proud." Cecil wanted to make some smart assed remark but thought better of it. He was probably remembering that he was trying to get some money from me and the guys. "I Am." he said with a smile, but the smile and the words sounded false to me. I also noticed Tyler looking at me; he had this expression on his face that said "you're fighting for me?" I have to tell you that I was beginning to feel guilty that I hadn't gone to California for at least a visit. My little heart had needed me and because I didn't want to leave home and face the twerp I didn't go. "He is a smart kid." Marshall agreed as he stood protectively over Tyler. What's that all about? I wondered and then decided that I really didn't care. What mattered is that Marshall was a calming influence on Tyler and for the next two weeks (if they stayed after we told them the truth about us) Tyler would have some semblance of peace and would hopefully leave with a little more strength and confidence in himself. The thought that Cecil was hurting Tyler came to me but I pushed it away, why would he hurt his own child? But then Susan Smith killed her babies. The evening ended with s'mores and showers for the boys and Cecil. Dee opted to take advantage of the giant bathtub with the jets. "Dee, maybe our hosts would rather you didn't." Cecil said with another one of his fake smiles. "Dee." I said. "Go right ahead and use the tub, that's what it's for." I added. Oh my, if looks could kill, I'd be dead. I'm beginning to get an idea of what's happening and I don't like it one bit. Cecil treats Dee almost as badly as he does Tyler but he takes the sting out of his comments and attitude with a smile. Marshall announced that breakfast would be buffet style beginning at nine. "Nine?" Cecil asked, "Why so late? What time do you people go to work around here?" he added. It was Kevin who replied. "Seeing as we own our own businesses, we work when we please but not only that, we took the next two weeks off to spend with you and your family. I saw Cecil's eyes glitter with jealousy. I was living the kind of life that he wanted and I didn't even have to work for it and this is what he wanted. I also think that he was banking on my husband bankrolling whatever he had planned because he assumed that my husband would be black and would automatically help him out. I stifled a giggle when I recalled Cecil's expression when Matt introduced himself, it was priceless. The boys left to get ready for bed leaving the adults outside sitting around the fire. This is it I thought to myself and just when I was going to say something, Cecil stands up, stretches and excuses himself. I decided to wait to tell Dee until she and Cecil were together; I didn't want to do this twice. Dee gave me a small smile and then excused herself as well. "Wow." Kevin said. "Sweetheart I think that you sugar coated what Cecil is like." "No kidding." Tony said. "And what's with the little one? Why was he so scared?" he asked. "His father hates him." Matt said quietly. No, Cecil didn't hate Tyler did he? I mean, how could he? He was a good kid, got great grades in school and never caused trouble, what was there to hate? "Why do you say that?" I asked. "There is a marked difference in the way that he treats the older boys. He didn't tell them not to be a pest or address their behaviors in any way. I'm not saying that they were misbehaving, they weren't but he wasn't cautioning them preemptively either. And I'll tell you something else that child is frightened and he's not the only one, your cousin may act like she's happy and all but I'm telling you it's all a front." No one said anything for a long time; Matt's words confirmed my thought that there were other things going on in addition to the money issue. I would have to give it some thought but for now, I'm tired and you guessed it: horny. "Ok love, you go up first and we'll join you one at a time." Kevin said giving me a peck on my cheek. In a way, this was very arousing, it gave the whole act of making love a hint of danger. What if Cecil or Dee caught one of the guys going into what's supposed to be me and Matt's room? The boys wouldn't see us because they're room was in the fully furnished basement complete with a small kitchen that had a fully stocked fridge. I went up first and was ready by the time Matt came up; I have to say that we started without the others because I simply couldn't wait. I had just had my first orgasm of the night when Kevin came in and took over while Matt sucked on my nipples that were still tender but it not so tender that I wanted him to stop. The combination of the slight pain of my nipples and Kevin sliding in out of me sent me into another orgasm. By now Paul had joined in and was nudging at my lips with his cock. They were bound and determined to sate me with one go round but it just wasn't going to happen. Louis came in and began to suck on the unattended nipples biting just a little knocking the pain level up just a notch. It wasn't too much later when Tony came in and took Kevin's place sliding his cock inside of me but being careful not to be rough. I wanted rougher damn it! But I still came along with him. I should be tired right? That, my friends was a warm-up. Too late I remembered Cecil and Dee at the other end of the hall, the doors were solidly built and the walls of the house were thick but I did little to contain my screams as I came. I guess we'll find out in the morning if Cecil and Dee heard anything. I woke up to the smell of coffee and my stomach rumbled. All of the guys with the exception of Matt had gone downstairs to breakfast. "Matt, when we make love..." "No." he said before I even finished what I was saying. "No? You don't even know what I was going to say." I replied. "Let me guess then." he said. "You want to know if we could be a little rougher with you am I right?" "I thought you said that you weren't mind readers." I retorted. "We're not but I know you and what you like and as much as I would love to give in, the answer is no. We're not going to do anything that might hurt the babies." he replied. I dropped the subject because I knew it would be pointless to argue with him about it. We got up and had a quickie in the shower before going down to breakfast. The older boys were chatting with Kev and the others and Tyler was helping Marshall. What I found interesting was that Cecil for all of his talk about "what time do you people work?" comment wasn't at the table. I knew what he was doing; he was living the dream which is fine but then keep your mouth shut about when people go to work. Cecil and Dee showed up thirty minutes later and fixed themselves a plate. Cecil took a bite of his eggs and grimaced. "Where's that cook of yours? He needs to make me some fresh eggs." Matt and I looked at each other but said nothing. "Well where is he?" Cecil asked acting every bit like the lord of the manor. But there was a problem, the manor wasn't his. Wolves Ch. 06 "Cecil perhaps we should explain how things are here." Kevin said. "Marshall is not a servant but an active participant in our household...." "What do you mean active participant??" Cecil asked. "Cecil..." Dee said softly. "No, I want to hear this. Explain." he said to Kevin. Oh shit. I thought as Kevin looked at Cecil with obvious dislike. The kid gloves were off and Cecil was in for a surprise. "Don't tell me that a man as intelligent as you are needs to be told what an active participant is." Kevin said the irritation in his voice evident. Cecil's eyes flashed at Kev's tone. Just then Tyler came into the living room followed by Marshall. "There you are!" Cecil said to Tyler, "Are you keeping him from his work? Is that why the eggs are so hard?" he asked. Excuse my French but what the fuck? Just as I was about to open my mouth to say something Marshall beat me to it. He sat down the plate of freshly cooked eggs, moved Tyler so that he was standing behind him and then glared at Cecil. Oh shit, I just saw his wolf in his eyes. "Look Cecil or whatever the hell your name is, I want you to leave little man alone. He isn't bothering me or keeping me from anything. If I hear you talk to him like that again, I'm going to kick your puny ass all the way back to California. You got that?" Did I say oh shit? Let's amend that to oh fuck. The entire table was silent as Cecil blinked several times in disbelief that a 'servant' would talk to him that way. The boys stared at Marshall in shock at the way he had just spoken to their father. "How dare you speak to me like that!" Cecil said standing up. "Cecil, sit down now." I said as I watched Marshall's wolf pacing in his eyes. For whatever reason, Marshall had become Tyler's protector, something that he desperately needed. His brothers protected him at school but who looked after him at home? Dee and I needed to have a heart to heart and soon because of Tyler was being hurt in anyway, then there wasn't a snowballs chance in hell that he was leaving with them. When I told Cecil to sit down, Dee gasped. Apparently Cecil didn't like being told what to do and here he was being told not only by a white man who also happened to be wealthy if I didn't mention it before but by me the heathen who was married to the enemy. "Oh I see." he sneered. "You got yourself a rich white man and now you think that you can talk to me any way you want." "Cecil..." I didn't get to finish my sentence, Matt spoke. "Hey guys, there's a new video game downstairs, why don't you take Tyler and go play then you can teach me later." he said but his eyes were on Cecil. "Come on little man." Cecil Jr. said to Tyler. Marshall's nick name for him had caught on. When the boys were gone, Matt in a very don't give me shit tone of voice told Cecil to sit down. Cecil was now beyond pissed, I could see the vein at his temples pulsing and his jaw was clenched. He didn't know it but he really was taking his life into his hands. "Let's get a few things straight shall we?" Matt asked in a very reasonable tone but he was pissed. "The first thing is this, you will never speak to Allie again as you just did. As a matter of fact, you won't speak to anyone in this house in that tone and that includes your family. The second thing is this; apparently we need to explain to you what an active participant is. Marshall is not our servant but our friend and godfather to our children and that makes him family. He is here because he chooses to be, he cooks these meals for us because he chooses to, and he is taking care of the little one because he chooses to. In other words, he doesn't have to be here at all and he certainly doesn't have to take your shit. Are there any questions?" Once Again Cecil looked like a fish gasping for air, he was speechless. I looked over at Dee who was speechless as well. What I found interesting was that she didn't jump to his defense like I would have if someone were talking to one of my guys the way that Matt talked to Cecil. That he deserved it doesn't matter, it would have been the supporting your spouse thing and unless I'm wrong, I think that Dee was enjoying herself. Cecil didn't say anything but stomped away from the table without eating breakfast. I expected Dee to follow him but she didn't. What was going on with them? "Dee, I apologize if..." "Don't apologize; it's about time someone spoke up to him." Dee said interrupting Matt. "And thank you." she added before finally leaving the table. "Sweetheart, we need to talk." Tony said. Oh oh, now what? "Cecil talked to me yesterday while we toured the property and well... he made a business proposition." Oh God, here we go I thought. "How much did he ask for?" I asked. "Initially nothing but he was fishing. He wanted to know what kind of businesses we had and then about the land and its worth you know things like that." "Tony, how much did he ask you for?" I repeated. "Half a mil." Tony replied. "What? Please tell me that you said no." I said. Tony laughed, "Of course I said no. I don't know him and I sure as hell don't like him. I just wanted to warn the rest of you that he will be approaching you." "What does he want the money for?" Matt asked. "I'm not really sure and to be honest I don't really care, there's something slimy about him but anyway, I have another question. Why does he hate the little guy so much?" Tony was the second of my guys to ask the same question and it's a question that I planned on finding the answer to and soon. Later I would talk to each of my nephews alone and then I would talk to Dee to see if she confirmed or denied anything that they said. After breakfast, Marshall packed a huge picnic lunch for us to take to the camp site. Matt didn't want me to go but I wasn't going to spend the day in the house alone and besides fresh air is good for you right? All of us went with the exception of.... You got it Cecil. In retrospect, that should have seemed suspicious given what I know about Cecil but we all thought that he was still having a temper tantrum and to be honest, he wouldn't be missed. We spent the day at the campsite with the boys hiking and playing Frisbee with the guys, even Tyler played and under Marshall's patient teaching became quite good at it. Although I had planned to talk to the boys first, this was a perfect opportunity to talk to Dee alone. "Dee, how are things?" "What do you mean?" she asked but I knew that she understood what I was asking. "Things are good but you know how it is, sometimes things get a little stressful." she replied. I didn't know and I wasn't going to pretend that I did. I understand the stress part, at least what I considered to be stress but I think that we were talking about two completely different things. "Is Cecil's job situation alright?" I asked. "It's fine, why are you asking?" "Just checking, he seems more uptight than usual." I replied. "Yeah well you know how Cecil can get if things don't go as planned and the way that Matt put him in his place isn't going to help. I'm not saying that he didn't deserve it but..." "But what? Dee does he hurt you?" I asked. Dee stared at me shocked that I would even ask the question but I persisted. "Dee, does he hurt you?" I demanded. "No." she replied. I didn't believe her but I let it pass. "Does he hurt Tyler?" A brief hesitation told me what I needed to know. The question was why him and not the others. I didn't get the chance to ask because the guys were coming back looking for food and something to drink but believe you me; I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Tyler left Marshall's side long enough to run over to me and give me a hug. "Did you see me Aunt Allie?" he asked excitedly. "I sure did." I replied hugging him back happy that he was happy. He hugged Dee and ran off. That, I thought is how he should be all of the time, a happy playful child not afraid to laugh. We got back home late afternoon around five but Cecil was no where to be found. We could tell that he had been into things that were none of his business including my office as well as the offices of the guys. He wouldn't have found anything since everything is encrypted and is password protected but it's the fact that he did it. He couldn't have gone too far, the van was still in the driveway. Matt thought that maybe he was in the part of the house that was under construction and went there to look. Cecil was getting on my last nerve and this was only day two. Matt came back without Cecil, this so was not good because it meant one thing. Cecil had gone into the woods. *** Cecil I've never liked Allie and the feeling is mutual. The dislike began from the first time that we met and it was instantaneous. It took me awhile to understand the dislike because I presented myself well, you know what I mean, in other words I minded my P's and Q's as my mother used to say but still she didn't like me nor I her. Throughout the years that dislike turned into hatred at least on my end, as far as she was concerned I was just someone to be tolerated because I married her cousin. I guess you're wondering why I wanted to come here if I felt that way about her. Believe me I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to be and not only that, if I didn't need her I wouldn't allow Dee to even talk with her on the phone. Now, I'm sure that she mentioned that I'm a racist but I'm not really, I just believe that there should be no mixing of the races except on business matters. And what do we find out? That her damned husband is a white man with a whole lot of money and she's pregnant to boot, another half-breed to take up space. The part about him being white bothers me but I do love the fact that he has a lot of money as does his brothers, the kid bothers me. Why? Because it's just not right. I tried to hit one of them up yesterday which in retrospect was way too soon but I'm running out of time and options. The original plan was to ask her for it or I was going to have Dee do it as Allie would just as soon see me drown than throw me a life vest. Speaking of her husband's brothers, there's something off there. I see the way that they all look at her and it isn't the way that a man should be looking at another man's wife. Anyway, while they were gone I decided to do some investigating. The way I see it is this, if you don't want people looking at your things then you lock the door right? Anyway, I soon found out why they didn't lock the doors to their offices, their computer systems were far more advanced than mine and I wasn't that good at hacking. What was I looking for? I wanted to see if I could find out their net worth. I knew that Allie was far from being a pauper, her net worth was somewhere around six hundred K with about two-hundred K in the bank. After a while I gave up trying to hack into their systems and went to the library, maybe I could Google them and find out information that way. Damn! Allie had hit the Jackpot! Why didn't I know who these guys were? They owned computer software that countries bought which explained why their systems were so advanced. That meant that these guys were worth millions if not billions. Allie was set for life and it wasn't fair, her money was handed to her while I still had to work to make ends meet. Yes I give the illusion that we have money but that's all it was an illusion. Don't get me wrong, I make good money but just not enough of it. The half- mil would pay everything off and things would be fine again. I wasn't going to ask Allie for money that she didn't have just for a part of what she did. After I read several articles on the Christianson brothers, I decided to take a walk into the woods. I don't give a rat's ass about the warning that Matt gave to the boys. I am a grown man and will do as I please and besides, I grew up in an area similar to this. I stopped in the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water and a couple of granola bars and set out. I started walking not really paying attention to where I was going my mind on Allie and her husband's money. I know that they own well over five hundred acres so there was no danger that I would be trespassing. I don't know how long I walked before I realized that I had gone deeper into the woods than I had planned on. I stopped and turned back intending to go back in the same direction that I had come but it looked different somehow and I began to second guess myself. *** The stupid idiot! He had gone into the woods just to pout. The problem was that we didn't know how long he had been gone. Matt and the others started making phone calls to gather the pack, they were going to go look for him, when they found him, I was going to kill him. Not only was he an inconsiderate jerk who was hurting Tyler, he was interfering with my nap time and seriously upsetting my happy home. "Sweetheart you stay here with Dee and the boys in case he comes back. One of us will check back every so often to see if he's back." "Wouldn't calling be faster?" Dee asked. Matt ignored her, took my hand and led me to his office where the others were waiting with grim expressions on their faces. "Allie, we'll try to find him but you know..." "I know, something else may have already and he might be dead." I said softly. Matt nodded and pulled me into his arms for a kiss. One by one my guys kissed and hugged me before kissing my stomach and murmuring something to the babies. Dee, me and the boys watched as the guys took off at a run toward the woods. Of the three boys only Tyler didn't seem to be worried, none of the others seemed to notice because they were concentrating on themselves. I went over to Tyler, sat beside him and took his hand in mine. "Tyler, are you alright?" I asked. "Yes Aunt Allie." He replied and you know what? I believed that he was. I also believed that he didn't want Cecil to be found. *** Cecil I started walking and then remembered seeing somewhere that if you got lost in the woods that the best thing to do was to stay put. It was almost dark and surely they were back at the house by now and noticed that I was missing, I can't believe that I'm going to say this but I would give anything for one of the brothers to show up right now. I've always hated camping and this was even worse than that. I found a spot in the open and sat down to wait jumping up again when I heard branches snapping behind me. I turned to look but I didn't see anything, just an animal, a squirrel or something. I went to sit down and then I heard it again from behind me and from around me. Something was out there and I was scared, when I heard the first howl I pissed my pants but that was the least of my worries. I could hear the sounds of something approaching and braced myself for who knows what. I heard what sounded like snarls and then several whines of pain. What in the hell was happening out there? Several minutes later, I heard my name and sincerely thanked god that I had been found. Matt Christianson stepped into the clearing a few minutes later, looked at me, turned and walked away without saying a word. He was furious and to be frank with you, I didn't care. *** Paul came back and told us that Cecil had been found and was alright. I looked over at Tyler and saw the sag of his shoulders and made a decision that I was positive Matt and the others would agree with, Tyler wasn't going back to California. I didn't know how I was going to get Dee to agree but I was sure that Cecil wouldn't object which reminds me; I still plan to find out why Cecil treats Tyler as he does. The guys walked in with Cecil about an hour later, he looked none the worse for wear and didn't even have the sense to even act contrite. It didn't seem to bother him that people were out looking for his stupid ass when they could let his ass get eaten by whatever was out there. I looked over at Matt and saw the set of his shoulders, oh boy; Cecil was in for it now. "Thanks for finding me; I guess I'll turn in now." He said as he headed for the stairs. "Sit your ass down." Matt demanded in full alpha mode. Cecil's eyes widened and he was going to object but then he saw Matt's eyes. He shrugged as if he wasn't bothered but I knew that he was. I fought the urge to get some newspapers before he sat down but I didn't want to miss anything. "Boys, could you leave us alone for awhile?" Matt asked. "Your father and I need to have a little talk." David took Tyler's hand and led him away with Cecil Jr. following close behind. When they were gone, the "talk" began. "Just what in the fuck did you think you were doing?" Matt asked. "I specifically warned against going into the woods alone and what do you do? You go into the woods alone. It's not safe and there are wild animals out there that would have had your skinny ass for a snack..." "Just you wait a goddamned minute!" Cecil said. Did he really just take the name of the lord in vain? Cecil who is so proud of the fact that he's a deacon at their church? Well I'll be damned. "I don't know who in the fuck you think you are but you don't talk to me like I'm a child. I'm a fucking grown man..." He used the 'F" word? Cecil? Well what do you know? I wonder what else he's hiding. "Who couldn't find his way out of the damned woods and who pissed his pants while he waited." Matt said interrupting him. "A lot of people were out looking for your sorry ass and you didn't even have the manners to say thank-you. You say that you're a grown man? Well from where I sit you're acting like nothing more than a spoiled child who can't stay out of other peoples business. Yes I know that you tried to hack into our company computer, it logged every attempt that you made. Now, here's the scoop, the only reason that you're still here is because of Dee and the boys but you do one more thing to upset this visit I will kick your ass. Are we clear on that?" Cecil was speechless, he was used to being the one to call the shots but he didn't go down easy. He was determined that no white man was going to tell him what to do. I mean really? The man snooped through our personal spaces, had people out in the woods looking for him and he still didn't know when to shut up. Cecil stood up to face Matt, a brave but stupid move on his part, maybe not brave but just stupid and got into his face. Another stupid thing to do but did it he did, Matt looked down at him and stared until Cecil finally wising up got smart and backed away. I looked over at Dee who as of yet hadn't said a word, like me she was enjoying the show. I really doubted that theirs was a happy marriage, something else I planned to find out. This time when Cecil tried to leave, Matt didn't stop him. We all sat looking at each other not sure of what to say, it was Dee that broke the silence. "I'm sorry about the way the Cecil's been acting and I want to thank all of you for allowing us to stay in your home and for looking for him and bringing him back." She said this in one breath and then rushed down to the basement to check on the boys. Twelve more days to go. **** Cecil Fuck. I've done nothing but fuck up since we got here. Each fuck up takes me further and further away from what I want and need money. Even that brat Tyler figures into this, I would have to ease up on him; after all he is my son isn't he? I have to tell you that it was all that I could do not to punch that pompous bastard Matt Christianson in the face for the way that he talked to me in front of my wife. Speaking of Dee, she has yet to come to my defense in anything that's happened and she coddles that whiny assed sissy Tyler. I bet you're wondering why I hate Tyler, alright I'll tell you. You know that Michael Jackson son 'Billy Jean'? The line about the kid not being his son? There you have it. Tyler isn't my son. Every time I look at him I think about Dee's betrayal to me, it doesn't matter that we were separated at the time, we were still legally married. What made it worse was that she tried to pass him off as mine. At least the man was black, I've seen how she drools over those white men on television but he is not my son and he will not be treated as such. But I think for the duration of this visit, I'll have to pretend that I at least like the brat. Wolves Ch. 06 I heard Dee come in and I wasn't in the mood for her shit. I went into the bathroom and shut the door hoping that she would be asleep when I got out of the bathroom no such luck. She was sitting on the bed as if she was lying in wait. "Cecil, you're wrong and you know it." she told me as I put on a pair of lounge pants. "You've done nothing but cause problems from the moment we got here and this was your idea! You said that you wanted to try to make amends with Allie but you've done everything but. So why are we really here?" she asked me. What do I say? "Dee we're broke and if I don't come up with at least two-hundred K I'm going to prison for embezzlement?" Dee didn't know anything about our financial issues because I didn't tell her. The truth was that I wasn't doing as well at work as I let on. I lost two major accounts because I played a hunch on the market and lost a lot of money for the clients. I just needed to get enough to cover what I took and we'd be fine. I didn't answer Dee's question, instead I turned off the light and got into bed. *** When we were in our bedroom, Matt let out a string of curse words that I had never heard him use. He was angry and rightfully so. By going into the woods Cecil had put our people at risk and then not to acknowledge it? Cecil was skating on very thin ice. The next morning, Cecil made an attempt to be conciliatory going so far as to pat Tyler on the head as he passed by. Tyler jumped as if he had been slapped, I'll be damned, he was hitting him. Dee couldn't have known, she would never let her child be abused but then I couldn't swear to that. She told me that there was nothing going on with Tyler and if I saw that there was, so did she. The showdown was coming; I could feel it as my guys walked into the room. They were tired of pretending to be other than what they were. I decided that they were right, I missed being able to touch them whenever I wanted and then only in the confines of our bedroom that they had to sneak into. After breakfast I asked Marshall if he would mind taking the boys into town for the day. He agreed without hesitation even offering to pick up the tab. When Cecil started to object to Marshall taking the boys Dee for once told him where to stuff it. When the boys and Marshall were gone, I asked Dee and Cecil to join us in the living room. I really thought that I would be nervous but I wasn't. The best thing that could happen was that Cecil would pack up and leave minus Tyler. The worst thing was that he would be ok with it and we'd be stuck with him for another eleven days but I really didn't see that happening. Dee sat on the couch as far away from Cecil as she could get which I found interesting while I sat in Matt's lap with my guys all around me touching me wherever they could. Dee and Cecil's eyes grew as big as saucers when Kevin and then Paul kissed me in a way that left no question that we were involved. "Dee, Cecil, I have something to tell you." I said. "I'm not just Matt's wife; I'm married to all of them." They both stared at me in disbelief but it was Cecil who recovered first. "I knew it! I knew that there was some kinky shit going on here! You're fucking all of them?" he asked incredulous. "I'll be damned, you're a fucking whore and a well kept one at that." he said. I never saw Tony move but Cecil had barely finished speaking when Tony had him up off the couch and dangling in the air by his shirt. "Ever since I first heard about you I've wanted to punch your damned lights out. You say another cross word to her and I swear to god, I'll do it." Tony dropped Cecil back onto the couch and walked away. Dee still hadn't spoken but Cecil was taking her turn for her. "So, heathen; how does this work? Is it like musical beds?" Cecil asked totally ignoring Tony's warning. Tony started to go after him but I stopped him, I wanted to deal with Mr. Cecil Horace Hobbs myself. I gave him a hard stare before started. "I don't like you and I never did because you are a jackass and a hypocrite whose only concern is himself. You're so proud of the fact that you're a deacon in your church but you take the lords name in vain and you throw the word fuck around more than anyone in this room. Lets not forget Tyler, I know that you hate him and I know that you hurt him but we'll deal with that later. You have been here for three days and they've been the longest days of my life. Single-handedly, you have managed to turn what could and should have been a good time into a nightmare. Now, let me introduce you to my husbands." I introduced him to each man as I should have done the day that he and Dee arrived. "I can't believe that you're acting proud!" he said as he looked at Dee for support. When none was forthcoming he turned back to me. "Do you really think that these white men want you? You aren't anything more than something for them to fuck and then what happens when they're tired of you? This is nothing more than modern day slavery except that you get to sleep in the big house in the Massa's bed." That did it; I stood up, walked over to him and slapped him as hard as I could leaving a hand print on his face. It just so happened to be my left hand that I slapped him with so an imprint of my wedding band was imprinted on his cheek. I held my hand in front of his face and showed him the ring on my finger. "Do you see this ring asshole?" I asked. "This is my wedding band and if you look at each of their hands you'll see a ring there. Do you see my belly? There are babies growing there and those men are the fathers so don't you dare try to cheapen what we have here but let me ask you something, why did you ask Tony for half a million dollars?" That shut him up, he did that fish thing with his mouth again and not only that, Dee finally found her voice. "Cecil, what is she talking about? Dee asked. When he didn't answer her, she asked him again about the money. "Why do you need that kind of money?" she asked. *** Cecil I tried, I really did but it's hard to act like something that you're not, I am not that boy's father and I couldn't quite pull it off. When Allie sent the boys away for the day with Marshall or whatever the hell his name is, I knew that something big was coming, I just never expected that. I mean I knew that there was something going on between the five of them but fucking all of them? If you think about it, it's rather ingenious, she will never want for anything and her half-breed brats will always be taken care of. I so wasn't expecting to be yanked off of the couch as if I weighed nothing, I may be shorter than all of them but I was no light weight and Tony lifted me as if I were no more than a sack of potatoes. The slap caught me off guard too, I had never known Allie to be a physically aggressive person and it hurt like hell. I guess that's what you get when you call a woman a whore to the white man. As all this was happening, I began to see this as a blessing in disguise. Even as Allie was talking I was planning, I would blackmail them. Remember that I said that the Christianson's were worth mega bucks and I wondered just how much they would pay for me to keep my mouth shut. Of course Dee couldn't know about this, it would destroy the illusion that we were doing well and the money from Allie and her masters would make that doable. At the exact moment that I had that thought, Allie asked about the money. Fuck. The cat was out of the bag but I wasn't ready to concede defeat just yet, so I lied. "I'm trying to start my own business." I said knowing that Dee would believe that. It was something that I talked about periodically but had never acted on it. Allie however, knew that I was lying and called me on it. "What kind of business?" she asked. "I was thinking about opening my own firm." I replied as cool as could be." She didn't believe me; I could see it and neither did her masters. So much for being tactful, it was time to just come out and say what I wanted and the hell with the consequences. *** I didn't believe him, none of us did with maybe the exception of Dee and even she was having her doubts. But I had more questions. "Why are you so hard on Tyler?" Now this got more of a reaction from Dee than the money, she looked positively pale. Cecil grinned and said, "Ask your cousin about Tyler." Remember that I said that I hated games? While I loved playing games in bed, I detested this kind of game. "I'm asking you." I said coldly. "Alright then, Tyler isn't my son." He said as if he was telling me a baseball game score. Needless to say that I didn't believe him until I saw Dee's face. "Dee?" I asked. "About ten years ago, Cecil and I were going through a thing and we separated. We had filed for divorce, the whole thing. I never told you because I was embarrassed and everyone thinks that we're the perfect couple so we tried to work things out. Just before we talked and agreed to try again, I had slept with someone but I didn't know that Cecil and I would reconcile. I slept with the man a few times and yes we used a condom but Tyler is proof that they don't always work." I had to sit down; I had my own real life soap opera going on in my living room. "So Cecil, Are you telling me is that you punish Tyler because of something that Dee did?" I asked shocked. "She opened her legs and then I have to support the little bastard? That doesn't sound fair to me." he replied. "Dee, why didn't you say something? You and the boys could have stayed with me." I said. "Allie, I didn't know that I was pregnant when I agreed to go back to Cecil. When we found out, he insisted on a paternity test and when he found out that Tyler wasn't his he told me that I could leave but if I did I could only take Tyler. I couldn't leave the other two with him so I stayed and god forgives me but Tyler bore the brunt of his anger." Shit, fuck and everything in between, I would have taken Tyler. He would have been safe with me. At that moment I was just as angry with her as I was with Cecil. "I could have helped you if you would have said something. We could have figured something out even if it meant having Tyler stay with me but what gets me is that you kept your mouth shut because you were embarrassed. Did you know that Cecil was hurting Tyler?" I asked. I know I was being harsh but she had to know the truth about Cecil. "No, he would never hurt him! He's harder on him than he is the other boys but he would never hurt him." Dee protested. "Dee, there's more than one way to hurt someone." Paul said. "Even if he isn't hurting the little guy physically, he's hurting him emotionally and that can be just as bad." **** Cecil Jesus! Enough with the Dr. Phil crap I thought. "I know exactly who you are." I said to Matt. "I also happen to have friends in the television and radio business." Everyone looked at me; Matt was the first to catch my drift. "That sounds like a threat." he said softly, "and I do not respond well to threats of any kind." he said. "Well, you'd better respond to this one because if you don't news crew will be in your front yard by morning." I said. Dee gasped as she finally realized why I wanted to see Allie so badly, it's all about money. I ignored her and turned back to Matt. I really was expecting him to be nervous, actually I was expecting all of them to be nervous but they weren't. They were all looking at me like was .... Prey, that's the word that came to mind and what's with his eyes? They look different. "What's your price?" Matt asked. I couldn't believe it! He was going to give me whatever I asked to keep his little secret or should I say big secret. I upped my price from half a mil to two. "Two mil and you can keep your little slave fantasy a secret." I said. I saw that one of them, Louis I think was going to make a move but Matt stopped him with what sounded like a growl. It was becoming clear to me that there were things going on here that neither Dee nor I was privy to. My gut was telling me to stop but what I wanted was so close that I ignored the warning- greed is a powerful motivator. Allie started to say something but Matt stopped her with a look, and she stopped. I don't know if you've noticed but Allie rarely shuts up for anyone and that's why I went after Dee instead of her although Allie was the one with the money that and the fact that she didn't like me. Anyway, that was another warning that I was headed into deep waters. Matt looked at me and asked, "What do we get for our money?" Aha! I knew that he didn't want his dirty little secret out! I could see it now 'MULTI-MILLIONAIRE AND BROTHERS PRACTICE MODERN DAY SLAVERY!" I could see the dollar signs; maybe I needed to up my price. "I've changed my mind, three mil and you can keep your secret." I said, "And you can keep the brat since you're all so concerned about him. Still he didn't say anything, he just looked at me "Cecil!" Dee said not believing that I was in essence selling her son. "Shut up Dee." I said and turned back to Matt. **** I couldn't believe my ears! The bastard was going to blackmail us! I waited to hear Matt's response. "So," he said, "You're perfectly willing to sell your wife's child for three million dollars, I don't know but that sound like slavery to me and I do believe that it's illegal to sell children." Matt said calmly. I saw Cecil's eyes widen, in his greed he hadn't thought about that. Another thought hit me, other than greed, why did Cecil need so much money? I realized that for him to come here meant that he was desperate. "Cecil, why do you really need the money?" I asked. "None of your fucking business slave!" he hissed. This time it was Kevin who grabbed him off of the couch and drug him over to me. "Apologize now!" he demanded. I could see his wolf in his eyes wanting to be turned loose so that it could tear Cecil apart. Cecil glared at me and refused to speak, he was such a stupid twerp. Kevin gave him a hard shake and demanded again that Cecil apologize, this time he did. Instead of taking him back to the couch, Kevin threw Cecil to the ground and walked away. Cecil backed away from me and towards the couch not stopping until his back was against it. I didn't accept his apology, he didn't mean it but the drama wasn't over just yet. "I took the liberty of investigating you." Matt said to Cecil. Cecil's eyes widened and then narrowed. "Your company is investigating you for embezzlement; it seems that two-hundred K is unaccounted for." Matt continued. "Cecil?" Dee called but he ignored her. "That's why you wanted to come here, you wanted to ask Allie for money or rather you were going to have Dee do it for you saying that you wanted to start your own business when you were going to use it to replace the missing money and call it an accounting mistake. The problem was you got greedy and you made several mistakes, the first one was asking for money from someone that you didn't know; it made you look desperate. The second mistake was the way that you treated the little one and your wife. You did nothing to ingratiate yourself to us and let's not forget your racist views." Matt said. I watched Cecil as Matt talked; he no longer cared about what we thought as long as he walked out of our house three million dollars richer. I don't even think that he cared about Dee and the two boys that were his, he only wanted his money. "Why Cecil?" Dee asked. "You didn't have to steal, we could have moved to a smaller house, I could have gotten a job, we could have..." "Could have what?" Cecil asked. "Looked like paupers? And you work? Doing what? Housekeeping?" The disdain that he had for Dee was evident, why she hadn't just taken off with the boys and come to me I didn't know; we had always been close. She had to know that I wouldn't have turned her away. "Why did we reconcile if you didn't want me back?" Dee asked. "You really are stupid aren't you?" Cecil asked. "M-O-N-E-Y" he spelled out like we were all imbeciles. "It would have cost me more money to divorce your cheating ass than it would have to take you back even with that kid of yours." Oh snap, snap, shit and fuck. Cecil was a piece of work but he wasn't finished. "I also knew that if you ever needed money that slave Allie over there would give it to you, why do you think I never stopped you from talking to her?" he asked. **** Allie isn't the only one with surprises is she? The truth of it was I couldn't stand Dee and the boys? Them I could take or leave, but they were a drain on my resources with the private schools and designer clothes. I'm not sure at what point the mood of the room changed for the worse, it might have been when I called Allie a white man's whore once too many or maybe when it was when I told Dee that she was a stupid fat cow but at any rate all hell broke loose. I never did learn when to keep my mouth shut, if I had what happened next wouldn't have happened and I would have walked away with my life but no money. Allie asked me a question, something about me guaranteeing that if they paid me that I would disappear. If I just would have answered her question... anyway my response was something like this, "I don't answer to any nigger whore who lets a white man breed her." Oh fuck. Suddenly there were five big dogs around me, I didn't recall them having any animals but when I looked into the eyes of one of them, I recognized the eyes. They were the eyes of her husband, Matt. I was confused, how could this be? Just seconds before they were all across the room and now they were dogs? The last thing I remember, I was being dragged out of the house and toward the woods. **** There was nothing that I could have done to stop what I knew was going to happen. Dee fainted when she saw Matt and the others change and I was glad for that, it would give me a few minutes to think. Cecil was much worse than I had even imagined and I still wasn't buying that he hadn't hit Dee. I saw his face as she talked about sleeping with the man who had gotten her pregnant. Whoever he was, I knew that she was wishing that she was still with him. I understand why she stayed but I didn't understand why she didn't more to protect Tyler if she was going to stay. We had a lot to talk about her and me. Matt and the others came back an hour later. I knew that Cecil was no more; I knew that they had to have made it quick and relatively painless. Kevin carried Dee to her room and put her to bed, the boys wouldn't be back for a few more hours. It would give us time to figure out what to tell them. The only one who wouldn't be upset would be Tyler and to some degree that concerned me. I wondered if we wouldn't need to take him to a therapist, it probably wouldn't hurt for Dee to go either but one thing at a time. As for me, I was shedding no tears over Cecil. I supposed that it should have bothered me more but it didn't and it wouldn't affect my sleep either. That two make that three people died since I arrived didn't bother me too much either, all of them were horrible people who threatened those that I loved. Dee came out a short while later and we told her the truth, there was no getting around it she knew what she saw. I really expected her to freak out but she didn't, she said that she thought that there was something different about the guys but she could never put her finger on it. The next thing was to inform her that Cecil was dead; she cried for just a minute and then started sobbing. At first I thought that they were tears of sorrow but they were tears of relief. "I wanted to leave him but I couldn't. I couldn't leave Cecil Jr. and David with them. You saw how he was! What do you think he would have done to them? Can you imagine what he would have taught them?" she asked. Wolves Ch. 06 I got it, she was between a rock and a hard place but I still had to know if he hit her. "Dee, did Cecil hit you?" I asked. "Sometimes but it was always when I tried to stop him from hitting Tyler. I swear to you, he never laid a hand on him." I believed her and felt some relief that she had protected Tyler but that didn't negate the emotional damage that was done. We talked about the best way to tell the boys that their father was dead, in the end we decided to tell them that he decided to leave until we could figure out a way to tell them that he was dead. Neither Dee nor I thought that they would have difficulty believing the story about Cecil's leaving. If they asked about the van, we would tell him that Cecil left it and flew home. Lies? Absolutely. Necessary? We believed so at least for now. There was another issue, explaining how I was married to five men. Dee solved that by suggesting that she and the boys spend the rest of the time at my house. It was close enough that they could be here or we there in a couple of hours. I had the feeling that she was going to talk top them there about their father, maybe it was better this way. It looked like we had to finish this drama out before I could start to enjoy my pregnancy and my guys. After this was over, I sincerely hope that there's no more excitement other than the birth of our babies. Marshall and the boys came back a couple of hours later. Marshall knew right away that something had happened but didn't say anything. We let Dee explain that Cecil had left but that they were staying for the rest of their vacation and probably beyond. I watched Tyler's face; the anxiety that had been there when they walked in was gone. I found myself hoping that Cecil died in pain. Every one turned in early to get ready for the drive to my house, curiously none of the boys questioned why they were going there instead of staying here. Once we were in bed, I started to cry, I couldn't help it. Too much had happened in the short amount of time that I'd been here and for once, I didn't want to make love I just wanted to he held and cared for if that makes any sense. When I fell asleep it was the sleep of the emotionally and physically exhausted but I knew that when I woke up, I would be my pregnant sassy self again. Wolves Ch. 07 The next morning we were all up early, I could tell that the older boys knew that something was up but they didn't ask. Of the three of them only Tyler was relaxed and when I say that I don't mean that he was smiling and happy, I mean that he knew that his days of being hurt were over. Dee even looked better, I guess relieved would be a better word for it. She didn't say much as we got ready to go to the house; this was a very different Dee than the one I knew. I imagined that she didn't sleep well as she replayed the events of the prior day in her mind. Marshall drove Dee's minivan with the boys and the rest of us rode in the truck followed by the minivan. An hour and a half later, we were back at the house. I got out and walked around, it seemed like a lifetime ago since I'd lived here and was plain old Allie Walker rescuer of the occasional hiker and a woman with truly wild fantasies that had come true. There were so many good memories here and I missed my house, I just didn't realize how much until now. I handed the keys to Matt who unlocked the door but wouldn't let any of the women and kids go in until he and the others checked it out. Afterwards, they ran off to the back of the house, changed and ran through the woods marking the area and checking for danger. The boys were already unloading the van without being told to confirming my belief that they knew that something had happened and was still happening. Without being told, Cecil Jr. And David took charge of Tyler without complaint even letting him help unload the van without the comments about him being too small. They knew. During the ride up, Matt and the rest of us decided that the boys were much too know young to know or understand why and how I could be married to five men so we wouldn't tell them. If they came to visit we would have to be careful and make sure that they never saw anyone other than Matt coming out of our bedroom. Matt was wondering about the feasibility of making the rooms on either side of our room adjoining rooms. That would completely eliminate the chance that one of the others wasn't caught coming out or going into our room in the middle of the night. I suggested that we keep their rooms in the basement since they liked it down there and Dee was no longer an issue. The truth of it was I was tired of the racket of construction and wanted quiet for awhile, before too long the house would be filled with the sounds of crying babies. I suddenly realized that we were talking like Dee and the boys wouldn't be going back to California and that this was a very premature discussion. Everything had happened so quickly that we didn't know what was going to happen and hadn't talked about it. The boys were in what would be their rooms while Dee was in my old room unpacking. My heart stopped as I realized that I still had some toys in the bedside table. While Dee and I were close we never talked about sex at least not much and I had no idea of how she was going to react when she saw the toys. I didn't know how to get them out without her seeing me or them so I decided to come clean. "Umm Dee, I don't know how to tell you this it's kind of well..." Dee stopped what she was doing and looked at me expectantly. It then dawned on me that she already thought that I was a freak so what was a little more? "In the top drawer, there are toys...sex toys." I said and then waited for her response. There was a long hesitation and then she said, "So are there batteries?" It was my turn to do the fish gasping for air thing. Dee and sex toys? I had to wonder what Cecil had thought about that. "Close your mouth Allie." Dee said with a chuckle. "How naïve do you think I am? You up here alone most of the time and no men?" I snapped my mouth shut and opened it again only it was to speak. "You're not surprised?" I asked. "No, I'm not surprised especially since finding out that you sleep with five guys who happen to be brothers and wolves to boot. So how does that work?" she asked. I was so not about to discuss my love life with Dee even if she was my cousin but she wouldn't let it go. "Do you all sleep together or do they take turns sleeping with you?" she asked. "And how does the whole wolf thing work?" she asked. "Alright, this is all the info I'm giving you." I said. "We all sleep together now drop it." Her eyes widened as she realized that if we all slept together then we made love together as well. She was going to ask but I stopped her. "None of your business." I said before she got the first syllable out. But I had questions for her. "Dee, what happened? I thought that you and Cecil were so happy." She didn't reply for a long time but when she did, her voice was tight as if she were struggling not to cry. "We were at first, or I thought we were. Cecil was moving up in his company and didn't want children because he said that they were too expensive but when Cecil Jr. came along, he seemed genuinely happy and adjusted. When David came along, he wasn't as happy but once again he adjusted. Then he started staying late at work because of clients needing him and because of this deal or that. I wondered if we were in trouble financially and offered to get a job but he told me that all I needed to do was look pretty and raise the kids. I believed him and didn't ask again but he became more distant and started not coming home at all except to change his clothes and an occasional dinner. I began to wonder if he was having an affair and asked him about it, of course he said no but I knew that he was lying but I couldn't prove it and what was I going to do even if I could? I had two babies and no job skills to speak of. That's what he meant when he made the comment about the housekeeping but Allie; I would have done it if it would have helped. But at any rate, we became for all practical purposes roommates. He didn't even notice when I moved out of our bedroom and into one of the spare ones." I had no idea that things were that bad between them. As I said she always sounded so happy when we talked when the reality of it was that she was hurting just as badly as Tyler had been. I can't even begin to imagine living like that and was very thankful for my guys. But there was more. "I heard him talking to her one night. The things he said to her, the things that he said that he wanted to do to her and what he wanted her to do to him...Allie it was like listening to a triple x movie. I didn't know that he could talk like that and the thing is, I would and could have done any and all of the things that he wanted her to so if he had just told me what he wanted. The whole time I had been thinking that I wasn't a good wife or that somehow I was repulsive to him but that wasn't it. I was the wrong color." What in the hell was she talking about? According to Cecil blacks should only be with blacks and so on and so forth. "Dee, what do you mean you're the wrong color? You're black and that's all that mattered to him." I said. "The woman that he was seeing, she was white. I rented a car while the boys were at school and followed Cecil all day. The woman looked like a hooker the way that she was dressed, she had long blonde hair and oh god Allie, can you imagine how I felt?" she asked. I was doing that fish thing again, but then I understood or at least I thought I did. In his mind, Cecil was getting back at the man by screwing a white woman because he felt screwed by the white man. Wow, talk about being screwed up and no, I hadn't the foggiest idea of how she must have felt. "After I saw them together a second time, I filed for divorce and moved out taking the boys to my mother's while I looked for a place to live. I had enough money to support us for awhile if I was careful and found an apartment. It was a definite step-down from what we had but it would work, it had to work. While we were separated, I met this man who lived in the same complex. He was everything that Cecil wasn't, he was polite, kind, the kids liked him and he didn't treat me like an idiot. Cecil and I had been separated for four months before I slept with Jonas, I had no plans of reconciling with Cecil and it had been so long since I had been touched in that way that I threw caution to the wind. What I said about the condom was true, one of them was defective. Well any one day Cecil shows up full of apologies and proclamations of love and stupid me believed him. He said that he was through with the other woman and begged for forgiveness and said that God had already forgiven him and like a fool, I went back. Jonas begged me not to go, he tried to warn me but I didn't listen. When I got home, we made what I thought was love once and Cecil never touched me again. A month later, I found out that I was pregnant with Tyler. I really did think that he was Cecil's but when he was born, Cecil wanted a paternity test and the rest you know." Sweet Jesus, how had she remained sane? I wondered. No wonder she shed no real tears when Cecil ceased to exist. "He threatened to take Cecil Jr. and David away if you left him didn't he?" I asked. "I didn't know what to do! I couldn't leave them with him so that he could teach them how to hate! You saw what he was like. I thought about coming to you but Allie, I was ashamed. I was too afraid to tell you what was happening, and what would you have thought of me?" she asked tearfully. "I would have told you to come, I would have thought that my cousin needed me and I would have done anything that I could to help you and my nephews." I said as I hugged her. "I wouldn't have judged you." I added kissing her cheek. Dee pulled away from me and smiled sadly, "But I would have judged you. Maybe that's why I didn't call you and ask for help." she said. "What about now knowing what you do about me and that my guys are wolves?" I asked. Dee looked down and then back up at me, "I'm not going to lie, at first I thought that you were sick. What woman sleeps with five men who are brothers that aren't even human and is pregnant by one of them? Later, when they were getting ready to look for Cecil, when they didn't know I was watching, I saw how they looked at you. Allie they love you, all of them and I was jealous. All I ever wanted was for one man to look at me like that and you have five of them! So to answer your question, I don't think that you're sick but a very lucky woman. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the wolf thing though" We stayed in my room talking until Paul called up saying that dinner was ready. Before we went downstairs, I took the used toys out of the drawer but left the unopened ones there. I had a feeling that Dee was going to need them for awhile. Dinner was quiet with very little conversation happening. The guys cleaned up after telling the boys to be in the living room in an hour. I didn't know what Dee told them if anything but we were about to find out. An hour later we were all in the living room with me sitting to Matt's left and Kevin on the other side of me. The other guys sat nearby but not so close as they were touching me. Dee sat on the loveseat while Tyler sat next to Marshall and the other boys sat on the floor in front of Dee. "Ok guys, a lot has happened since you got here and unfortunately most of it isn't good. I don't know what your mom told you..." "Dad's gone." Cecil Jr. interrupted. "Yes, he is." Matt said. "He went into the woods even after you told us not to and got lost." Cecil Jr. continued. He knew. I don't know how but he knew that his father was dead, I don't think that they knew specifically how he died. Why wasn't he more upset about it? I wondered. "He was mean to mom and little man." David said softly. "We couldn't stop him." he added as a tear ran down his cheek which got Cecil Jr. going and then Dee. Tyler was crying too but Marshall had him in his arms and was whispering in his ear. I could see Tyler's head bobbing up and down in response to whatever Marshall was saying. I watched as Tyler threw his arms around Marshall's neck and sobbed. Oh my god! I understood now. They knew what was happening to Dee and Tyler and felt guilty that they couldn't stop it which made sense because if you'll remember I mentioned something about both of the boys being Alpha males with David being only slightly less Alpha than Cecil Jr. They felt like failures because they couldn't protect Dee and Tyler and then to complicate things, they were just as relieved as Tyler and Dee that Cecil was gone but they felt guilty because they were relieved. All of them Dee included, needed to see a therapist and pronto. I was sure that Matt knew of someone that would see them. I looked at him and saw that he was already way ahead of me. Both Cecil Jr. and Davis were hugging Dee and crying. I wanted to find Cecil's body and beat it to a pulp for what he had done to his family. It was late when we left but Marshall stayed behind to help Dee with the boys and he didn't want to leave Tyler who was still clinging to him. Of the three boys I think that it's my little heart that's going to have the roughest time of it, I'm not sure of why I think that maybe it's because he's spent so much of his short life afraid but I had a feeling that Marshall is going to be very helpful with that. I was totally exhausted by the time we got home, my head, back and feet hurt even though I was able to lie down in the truck using Matt's lap as a pillow. I just didn't feel quite right but I attributed it to too much emotional upheaval. Now here's the thing, I didn't want to be made love to, yep me who loved being made love to for hours on end didn't feel like it. Even the guys were shocked but didn't say anything as they helped me into bed and surrounded me with their bodies. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but all I could think of was that bastard Cecil and what he had done to his family. "Baby, you've got to relax." Matt said from behind me and began to rub my shoulders. It wasn't too long before my feet were being massaged as well as my stomach and my legs. Gradually I began to relax enough that I could sleep. I woke up feeling a little better but still not quite myself. I really can't explain how I felt; I was just out of sorts. I stayed in bed that day with Paul. He was worried, I could tell and to be honest, I was getting worried too. Something was wrong but I didn't know what. There was no pain other than the back pain that was from the excess weight I had gained. There was no bleeding or the leaking of fluids, in other words none of the things that the doctor told us to look our for especially since this was a first pregnancy and a multiple birth one at that. I found myself angry at Cecil again, this was supposed to have been a happy time and here I was in bed and feeling more and more like crap as the day went on. I was sound asleep in Tony's arms when the first cramp hit. It wasn't a bad one but it was enough to wake me up. The next one was even stronger and made my breath catch, something was seriously wrong. "Tony, something's wrong call the doctor!" I said panicked. I started crying as he called the Doctor and then the other guys. In no time flat they were all around me but it was Paul who was holding me. He started talking to me softly in my ear as he rubbed my stomach in slow circles. Gradually as I calmed down the cramps diminished but didn't go away completely. By that time the doctor had arrived and checked me out. "Let's get her to the hospital and put her on a fetal monitor. I'll meet you there." he said as he walked away. Matt carried me while the others followed, oh before I forget, we didn't go to a human hospital. Anyway, Tony drove while Paul held me in his lap and talked to me while Matt sat on one side of him and rubbed my back and Kev sat on the other side rubbing my legs and feet. All of them were talking to me softly reminding me that they weren't leaving me alone. I started to cry again, I didn't want to lose my babies. "Allie." Paul said in my ear, "Concentrate on my voice." He began to speak so softly that I could barely hear him and in doing that I was distracted from what was happening; you know the 'you can't concentrate on more than one thing' theory. By the time I figured out what he was doing we were at the hospital. I was taken to a private room big enough to hold all of us and placed on the monitor while IV's were started. Did I mention that I hate needles? Anyway, they started pumping me full of fluids and monitoring the babies. They also did one of those 3D sonograms and we saw our babies for the first time, all seven...seven? Did I just count seven babies? The Doctor left us alone for a few minutes as we looked at our babies. We were all crying and talking at the same time. I didn't even minds when the nurse came in to draw blood; I was really going to be a mommy! "Matt, did you happen to do a head count?" I asked. "What? No why? He asked. Kevin began to count. "One, two, three, four, five.... Oh my God! Our Allie is giving us seven babies! He exclaimed. "No way!" Matt said and began to count and recounted twice. They all started talking at once forgetting that I had no idea about the significance of the number seven. The doctor came back in and shushed them. "I understand your excitement but this is a hospital so please keep it down." Even Matt was contrite, "sorry, we just got a little carried away." he said. "It's alright." He said. "Allie, your labs look good but I don't think that you're taking in enough fluids as you noticed the contractions stopped when we started pushing the fluids. Seven babies are taking a lot out of you and you have to replace what they're taking. I want you to double your prenatal vitamin dose and I'm charging your guys to make sure that you're drinking enough. I also want you on bed rest for a week and no lovemaking for at least that long." He couldn't be serious! Now that I was feeling better I was ready to play. "Nothing?" I asked. "Nothing and I'm keeping you overnight." he said firmly. "But..." "No buts, I want to make sure that everything is alright before I let you go. The guys can stay if they like." He said and walked out. "Wow, Allie loses one." Tony teased. I glared at him but didn't say anything, I wasn't going to like being on bed rest especially since we couldn't do anything to make it more pleasurable. Dee called later in the evening wanting to come back down. "No, it's late and the guys are here with me." I told her. I talked to Marshall next. "Marshall I'm fine and the babies, all seven of them are fine too." There was several seconds of silence and then Marshall let out a whoop that must have scared every wild animal around my house away. I still didn't understand the significance of the number seven and asked Matt about it. "Each family has what they consider to be a lucky number, ours just happens to be seven. Every so often the mate of the pack leader delivers babies that are the lucky number of the family. It seems that we are being blessed in that we share a mate and said mate is going to give us seven babies." he explained. Ok, I really don't get it but that's ok I guess. I moved in the bed to get more comfortable and missed our big bed at home and wondered where the guys would sleep. Matt looked at Kevin who nodded and left the room with Louis and Tony. "Where are they going?" I asked. "They'll be back, don't worry." Matt said as he sat on the bed next to me and held my hands. It occurred to me that we had to come up with seven names, no make that fourteen. The babies could be all boys or all girls or a mix but if we had fourteen names, you see what I mean? The other thing that I needed to find out was if there was some kind of naming ceremony or protocol that I should know about. Just as I was about to ask, Kev, Tony and Louis came back carrying sleeping bags that they laid on the floor so that they were touching. I told them that they could go home but even as I said it I knew that they wouldn't leave. Wolves Ch. 07 "We're staying." Matt said as he stood at the head of the bed. They each took a shift sitting with me, helping me to the bathroom and force feeding me water on top of what was going in through my IV. It was going to be a very long week. I was home by lunch time the next day. Dee, Marshall and the boys were there to greet me with hugs and kisses. I tried to bargain with Matt. "I'll stay put if you let me lay downstairs on the couch." I said. "Nope, the doctor said bed rest and the couch isn't a bed." he replied. He was being literal and he knew it. I don't think the doctor cared where I was just so I was resting but Matt couldn't be swayed. So here I was at home, in bed and not able to play it really sucked but on the plus side, Dee and I talked some more about the whole wolf thing. I was surprised at how easily she accepted it and I wondered why. But then again, I had no problems accepting it either and I wondered what that meant. We talked about Cecil and what the boys needed in order to deal with everything. To my relief, Dee agreed that she and the boys all needed to see someone and as soon as possible. I was even more surprised when she told me that Marshall had already spoken with a friend of his who was willing to come see them. "How did the boys do last night?" I asked as I readjusted myself on the bed. "As well as can be expected I guess." she replied. "I just wish that none of this had ever happened. I should have known that he was up something." she said sadly. I felt for her but I didn't blame her, Cecil was responsible for his own choices as we all are. I think that if Cecil hadn't abused his wife and Tyler and just left he would still be alive but his hatred and greed ruled him. I also think that we never would have heard the last of him either; could we have kept paying him? Of course we could have but when would it have ended? I don't think that Cecil's threat to go to the papers bothered Matt and the others but it was our privacy and the safety of the pack that they were thinking of when they decided to kill him, that and the blatant show of disrespect and verbal abuse to the mate of the pack leaders. The man never did know when to shut up. I looked toward the door to see the boys peeking in at me. "Come on, there's plenty of room." I said patting the bed. Of course, Tyler snuggled next to me and touched my belly. "You're going to be an uncle." I said, "And I'm counting on you to help me with the babies." I added. I almost cried when I saw my little heart sit up and square his shoulders. "I promise to help you keep them safe." he said his voice solemn. It was then that I caught the first hint of the strength that Tyler possessed; I also knew that with help he would be fine. Cecil Jr. and David would be fine as well; it was just going to take time. The next thing that Dee had to decide was whether they were going back to California or not. I didn't ask her then, it was too soon to make that decision and if she stayed she would have to go back to California to take care of things. The longer I laid there, the more things I thought of. Cecil owed his company two-hundred thousand dollars. Dee didn't have that kind of money and Cecil didn't unless.... "Dee, did Cecil have life insurance?" I asked. "Are you kidding? It would have drained his resources." Dee said. "I know that the money he stole should be paid back but I don't have that kind of money." Dee replied. But we did. I planned to talk to Matt about it later but I suspected that he had already taken care of it or would soon. Everyone ate dinner in the bedroom with me; it was like a big indoor picnic minus the ants and the bees. Now, imagine this, me and six guys each with a bottle of water, Just how did they think I was going to drink all of that plus eat? Not to mention the many trips to the bathroom. I tried to warn them but they pooh-poohed me and made me drink until I put my foot down. It was time for a compromise. I agreed to drink a bottle of water every two hours, if I wanted more then I would drink it. The next battle was getting out of this bed, ultimately, it was a battle that I lost but I sure as hell gave it a good try. "Come on Matt!" I said, "I promise to be good and stay on the couch." I added with my best smile. He hesitated just long enough for me to think that I had won and then he said, "Nope, the doc says bed rest." He replied Around and around we went until I finally gave up in disgust. Later in the evening Darrin and Glenda came to see me, I have to admit that by this time I was bloated with water and very tired but I felt much better. Like all of the guys, Glenda and Darrin touched my belly. I had a thought, was everyone going to be touching my stomach? I'd have to ask Matt and the others about that as soon as we had some time alone but for now I had company to entertain. "How are you feeling?" Glenda asked. I gritted my teeth, I swear if I heard that question one more time.... "Better, just really tired." I replied. "That doesn't surprise me." she said. "Seven babies! That's wonderful!" she exclaimed. "And I hope that you'll let me help you care for them." she added. I didn't want to think about that yet, all I wanted at the moment was to be alone with my guys but I couldn't say that to the former pack leader and his mate. Thankfully it was Matt who finally shooed everyone who wasn't married to me out. "Allie needs to rest, doctor's orders." he said as he began to herd people toward the door. Marshall kissed my cheek and promised to bring Dee and the boys back in a day or so. Tyler hesitated by the door as if he wanted to say something. "What do you need Tyler?" I asked. He hesitated for several seconds before he spoke, "Do you need me to protect you?" he asked. The room got quiet, was my little heart an alpha in the making? I knew that this was important to him and my refusal would hurt him. I looked at Matt who looked at the others who nodded at him and then at me. Do you see why I love these guys? "I would like that." I said. "But it has to be ok with your mom." I added. I think that Dee was more surprised than any of us but she hid it well. She also realized that this was a big step for Tyler and she agreed to let him stay and help "protect me". I swear that I could see Tyler's confidence and self esteem rise right before my eyes. Cecil had almost destroyed this sweet child and it would have been such a waste. Dee, Marshall and the other two boys left about thirty minutes later. Tyler would bunk in the room with Kevin and Tony while Louis and Paul would share the room on the other side of us. Seeing as Tyler didn't have any pajamas, Kevin shortened one of his tee shirts and gave it to him to wear. While he went to the bathroom and changed, the guys who weren't sleeping with me kissed me good night as they rubbed my stomach. These were going to be some much loved babies, not spoiled but loved. Do you know the expression 'as slow as molasses going uphill in the winter?' that's how the week went. By the third day I was going nuts, I was water logged, horny as hell and cranky. Janie came to see me a couple of times and brought her baby Angela with her, she was so damned cute! It made me wonder what our babies would look like. I took advantage of the time to ask Janie about childbirth, I mean I'd never seen a baby born in real life. What I really wanted to know was if it was as painful as it looked. "I'm sure that you remember the pain that you had when you went to the hospital right?" she asked. Oh yes I remember that very well, I don't think that I'll ever forget it because I thought that I was losing the babies. "I remember." I replied. "Multiply that by ten keeping in mind that it's different for everyone." she replied. I am so not looking forward to that, I like some pain when I play but childbirth pain was another issue entirely. But what about breast feeding? How does one breast feed seven babies? I would have to walk around topless! When I told Janie that she laughed. "No silly, you get a breast pump unless you're a glutton for punishment." she said still laughing. Well hell's bells, what did I know? I'd never been pregnant before and never thought that I would be. We talked for a little while longer and she touched my stomach as she got ready to go. "Janie," I said, "Does everyone get to touch my stomach? "Yep so get used to it. You are the mate to five brothers who are our pack leaders and you're having seven babies which happens to be their lucky number so people are going to want to touch you. You're considered lucky." she said as she picked up her baby. Oh yippy skippy! I thought as I imagined myself as the pregnant pied piper of Hamlet, only instead of rats it would be a line of people wanting to touch my stomach. The thought made me tired and being stuck in bed didn't sound so bad after all. The doctor came by on a daily basis and was quite happy that I was doing well but not so happy that he shortened my sentence. He did however agree that I could go downstairs and lay on the couch and that I didn't have to drink a bottle of water every two hours, thank goodness. Finally the day of freedom came, the doctor came and checked me out and proclaimed me fit for active duty. When I asked him about making love, he hesitated. Oh crap, I thought he was going to tell me no making love for the duration of the pregnancy. "Alright, here's the deal." He said. "There are to be no marathon sessions and absolutely no rough lovemaking." "So what do you mean by marathon lovemaking sessions?" I asked breathing easier. "I mean no more than once a night." he replied as he packed up his bag. Was he serious? Once a night? That was just a warm up! But as they say my 'mama raised no fools' and I kept my mouth shut. Once a night and it couldn't be rough, oh crap. I wondered how the guys were going to manage to control themselves. Louis told me that they had refrained from any sexual release at all until I could participate, he also said that it was one of the longest weeks of their lives and that they all going to be glad when it was over. I was ready for my once a day playtime when I heard a car pull up, I got up and peeked out of the window but I couldn't see anything. I was still in my pajamas but hey, this was my house and I wanted to know who was here. Louis laughed at me when I went down the stairs dressed in my deep purple jammies. Matt saw me coming down the stairs and smiled at me obviously as relieved as the rest of them that everything was alright. "Sweetheart, I want you to meet Thomas Hawks, Thomas this mate Allie." Aha! He was wolf; I could see it in the way that he moved. "Hello, it's nice to finally meet you, I've heard a lot about you." Thomas said offering his hand. "Thomas is one of our attorneys and is cleaning up Cecil's mess. He's already met with the president of the company that Cecil worked for and they are willing to accept repayment of the money that Cecil embezzled from them." That was great news and Dee would be relieved that her life with Cecil was over; she never had to think about him again if she didn't want to. I looked at Thomas, uh oh. "I was just telling Matt that I also checked into what money Cecil may have left for your cousin and her boys. I'm afraid that there isn't any, he cashed in the 401K at the company a few months back. It's good that she has you to help her because all of their credit cards are maxed out, the house is the only thing that's paid off and if it sold quickly it might be enough to pay everything off and she might have a little left over." Ok, bad but not as bad as I thought. "There's more." Thomas said. "I was just about to tell Matt that Cecil borrowed money from some not very nice people and they're looking for him." "How much does he owe them?" Matt asked. "Somewhere in the neighborhood of a hundred grand and yes I know who and where they are but I haven't approached them yet." Thomas said. No wonder Cecil needed to come here. I had to ask myself this question, would I have helped him if I knew all of this? Probably but only for Dee and the kids. I also would have asked Dee if she wanted to come live with me and I would have helped her fight for custody of the kids but it's all water under the bridge now and we can only move forward. "Contact them and tell them that we'll pay the loan off and tell them that this is a one time arrangement. Go ahead and pay off all of the credit card bills and anything else that you find. You might want to check with the schools that the boys attended, if there's a balance there pay it." Matt said. He and Thomas talked for a few more minutes before he left to take care of business. As soon as he was gone, I pulled Matt down to me and kissed him. He didn't have to do anything that he had just done but he did it because he loved me. "Thank you." I said after I pulled away. "You didn't have to do that, as a matter of fact you didn't have to do any of it." I said. "Allie, Dee and those boys are family now and we take care of our own. If Cecil would have been straight forward and admitted that he fucked up and not treated you and his family like shit, we would have helped him as well." I realized that as tough as Matt was he was a softy, all of my guys were. I also realized that family were and would be the only ones to see that side of them. I don't mean that they weren't kind to other people they are but they're different with us. I had a decision to make; did I want my one orgasm now or later? The decision was made for me by the phone ringing. It was Dee saying that they were on their way to our house, according to her they were about an hour away but if Marshall was driving and I'm sure that he was, it would be more like thirty minutes which wasn't near enough time for me to spend time with my guys. Matt seemed to be reading my mind because he grinned at me and then winked as he hugged me. "Allie, we have to talk about tonight." he said. Why did I just know that he was going to tell me something that I wasn't going to like? "I talked to Dr. Chase and he says that we can't all make love to you at once." he said. What was he trying to tell me? "We can only make love to you one at a time. So that means..." "I know what that means!" I snapped. It meant four months of one orgasm a day. I understood the rationale and I even agreed with it but from several orgasms a night to one? Matt gave me a sympathetic look and then I felt bad, I wouldn't be the only one suffering although they could relieve themselves if they wanted to. "I'm sorry I snapped." I said quietly. "No apology needed." Matt said and hugged me. "We miss you too." he said. The rest of the guys were in the kitchen making me a snack even though dinner was only a few hours away. When I walked in, they stopped what they were doing and lined up to kiss me and to rub my stomach which was already so large that I couldn't see my feet. In a couple of weeks I wouldn't be able to stand without help and back rubs would become a several time a day occurrence. Just as I thought Marshall had driven and the kitchen was filled with the excited chatter of three boys. All of them, Dee included had been seeing a therapist and I could tell a difference already. I also had to wonder how much Marshall had to do with that especially as far as Tyler was concerned, he was like a different child. Apparently, Dee wanted to talk to me about something and she didn't want to do it over the phone. She sent the boys out to play but reminded them to stay away from the woods and the construction site. Marshall made a pot of coffee for them and poured me a big glass of milk to go with my big glass of water and my snack. When we were all settled, Dee told us what she wanted. "I don't want to go back to California, there are too many bad memories there." she said. "I was hoping to buy your house and move out here with the boys. They love it here especially Tyler. I would have to sell the house back home and..." "Dee, you and the boys can stay in the house but I can't sell it." I said interrupting her. "But we can't just stay there!" she objected, "We have to pay rent at least." "Why can't you just stay there? It's empty and besides you'd be helping me by keeping it up." I replied. She looked uncertain, I understood. She didn't want us to think that she was a free loader. That made me wonder how Matt was going to tell her that Cecil's affairs had been settled or soon would be. I had a hunch that she would ask to do something to pay it off and offer part of the money from the sale of her house which is exactly what happened. Matt tried to tell her that it wasn't necessary but she wouldn't budge from her position so Matt agreed to take the money or part of it anyway from the sale of the house. Later he would tell me that they had all decided to put it in a bank account for Dee and the boys a fact that they would keep from her for the time being. Dee, Marshall and the boys stayed for dinner and left shortly after helping with the cleanup during which I had to sit with my feet propped up. While I waited it occurred to me that I could finally enjoy being pregnant, the whole Cecil drama was over with the last thing being getting Dee and the boys moved but I couldn't help with that anyway. I thought that Dee would go home soon to make arrangements as she had already said that she wanted to be here when the babies were born. She was rather shocked that there were going to be seven of them and looked forward to helping me around the house as were the boys. Matt anticipated the renovation of the nursery to be done within the next few weeks so that we could get it decorated and set up in plenty of time for the babies. We had already decided on neutral colors that were soothing, the rocking chairs were on the way as were the drapes. It was going to be a beautiful room that would be adjoined to ours, in a few days we would have to move to another room so that the work could be finished. I was getting anxious for my orgasm fix and I already knew who would be the first, Matt then Kev and on down the line. I wanted them all with me when Matt and I made love although I knew that it would be torture for them but they didn't seem to mind, they wanted to be as close to me as possible. We got ready for bed which for me included a shower followed by a total body massage given by all five guys at once. Once I was massaged from head to toe with coconut butter all of the guys with the exception of Matt moved away from me but stayed within touching distance. Even if they couldn't do anything for me, I planned to do something for them. It had been far too long since I had any of them in my mouth and I missed the feel and taste of them. Matt took his time in loving me wanting to make it count. He started with a kiss that curled my toes and then stopped. What now? I wondered eager to get the show on the road. "You're not having any pain are you?" he asked. "No pain and I promise to tell you if I am." I said as I pulled him back for another kiss. The other guys had moved even closer to us and began touching me. At one point, all five of them stopped what they were doing and put their hands on my stomach saying nothing. I felt a connection to them that was more intense than anything that I had ever experienced with them and that was saying something. What happened? I can't say because I really don't know. Even now, I don't know. Matt kissed me again before moving to my now fuller breasts and kissing them. The other guys went back to touching me, one of them at my feet gently massaging the balls and then the arches. I grabbed a cock and pulled it toward me and into my mouth. Kevin. I felt Matt's warm tongue licking my nipples and then sucking on one and then the other but no one touched me between my legs which was a good thing, I wouldn't have lasted long. Wolves Ch. 07 Speaking of long, Kevin came in no time flat. I guess a week of abstinence will do that for you and that led me to an idea that I would talk about with them later. One by one I took each of my guys into my mouth with the exception of Matt, I wanted him somewhere else. After I had taken care of the other's Matt asked me again if I was having any pain. "Matt I'm fine!" I said more than a little exasperated. Matt looked into my eyes and I saw his wolf assessing me before it retreated apparently satisfied that I was truly alright. I felt my legs being lifted and parted for Matt as he positioned himself in between them. We both cried out as he entered me slowly and then stilled to look down at me. I wiggled my ass telling him to stop teasing and get on with it. Unfortunately, neither of us lasted long and more unfortunately we could do no more. Damn, this was how it was going to be until the babies came and more than likely for a little while afterwards. We had the next few days to ourselves because Dee and the boys were talking to someone -a therapist on a daily basis. Once they moved into the house, it would be weekly until they and the therapist decided otherwise. When we did see them again, there was a vast improvement. Dee was more like her usual bubbly self and the boys seemed more at peace with themselves. None of them mentioned Cecil; it was if they had come to an agreement between them that while they acknowledged him as their father, which was as far as it would go. The biggest change was in Tyler. He smiled easily and stuck to Marshall like glue which Marshall didn't seem to mind at all. He would be a good godfather to our babies and a good father to his own children should he be blessed enough to have any. We had already moved to another bedroom so that nursery could be finished. Dee volunteered to help decorate, she was into that feng shui thing and to be honest, I'm not big into decorating and it would give us something to do together. That evening, Kev came home with seven copies of 'The dictionary of Baby Names'. "Why seven? I asked as he laid the box on the couch. "A copy for each of us." He replied. "I figured that we could each make a list of the names we like and then start eliminating the ones that we don't like." he added. He handed me a copy complete with a packet of those tiny sticky marker things and a yellow highlighter. He was really taking this name thing seriously. As each of the other guys came in he handed them a copy, with the last copy being for Marshall. As godfather he got to help name the babies, as you can see this godfather thing was a big deal. As of yet I hadn't asked anyone about being the godmother but that was going to be changing soon, I was going to ask Dee. I couldn't imagine asking anyone else and if she was going to be living here it only made sense. I asked her about it a day later, she was so thrilled that she started to cry. I know that some people would think that she wasn't a good choice because of what happened with Tyler and I would disagree with that. I will concede that she could have done things differently in that she should have asked for help but I also know that if she could have gone back, she would have done things differently. I gave her my copy of the book and shared with Matt until Kev bought me another copy. We planned the first baby naming party for the following week. Finally I'm having fun with this, all of the drama is behind us and we can begin to concentrate on our growing family. I was starting to get used to making love once a day but I was also anxious for the time when things would more or less become more normal at least in that respect. The guys were all going to be around to help with the babies, which was a change from the original plan that one or two of them would always be around. Seven babies changed that which was fine by me. I was starting to get scared. Me who went through a grilling and killed someone was scared of being a mother. I still had a several weeks to adjust and started watching videos and reading about babies. Dee sensed my nerves and took the books away. "Allie, the books are fine for general information but they don't beat a mother's instincts. You'll make mistakes, it's a trial and error thing but soon you'll know what each cry means and what it takes to comfort them. The thing is you have five guys no make that six guys, three nephews and me to help if you'll let us. Don't try to be super woman and handle it yourself." I had forgotten how well she knew me. Remember my forgetting that I wasn't alone was one of the issues that we had to work through as a married group. It was going to be more important than ever that I remember that I had all kinds of support and that there was no way that I could do this alone. The next week we met for the first official baby naming party. Marshall and Dee made all kinds of snacks and the guys took turns getting me whatever I needed and helping me up so that I could make my frequent trips to the bathroom. There were a wide variety of names and some of them were just hideous, thrown in for comedic relief I guess. By the end of the evening we had thirty boy's names and thirty girl's names. Cecil Jr. wrote the names down, went to the study and made copies for everyone. The plan was to meet again next week to try to finalize the names that we would use plus have a few spares ones just in case. I don't know why but I looked at Marshall and he was looking at Dee in a more than friendly way. Hmmm, I wondered what was going on there but I figured that Dee would tell me when she was ready and that's if there was anything to tell. A few days later the nursery was complete. I wasn't allowed to actively participate in the decorating but was promoted to boss. In other words, I sat in a recliner with my swollen ankles and feet elevated with the required glass of water in my hand. The room was painted in a soft blue with hints of yellows and whites. According to Dee, the blues were to be soothing and represented the element of water and peace while the yellows were supposed to reflect cheerfulness. Soft music played from the sound system as the guys-all of them put the cribs together and set up the changing tables. Tyler put the mobiles that would hang from the cribs together while Cecil Jr. and David put the book cases together. Dee was folding the outfits that we bought after she washed them and getting them ready to go in the dressers. Her next task was going to be making sure that the breast pumps were in working order and making sure that we had plenty of supplies like diapers and such. As I sat like a queen watching her subjects work, I took the time to watch Dee and Marshall. Yep, there was definitely something there at least on his part but I suspected on hers too but her it hadn't been that long ago that Cecil died. I decided that I was going to be nosy and ask her about Marshall; the worst thing that would happen is that she would tell me to mind my own business. By dinner time the nursery was done and it was beautiful. The rocking chairs were lined up along one wall just waiting to be used. Louis helped me out of the recliner and held my hand as I walked around the nursery, I touched everything. Chalk it up to hormones but I started to cry, I was so damned happy and blessed to have my family with me. It was a feeling that I couldn't quite put into words adequate enough to really describe what I was feeling. That night Dee, Marshall and the boys stayed over. We watched movies, ate popcorn and just had a good time together. The next evening we would meet again to discuss baby names but in the meantime it was all about relaxation. I finally got a moment alone with Dee when the guys went to the kitchen to make sandwiches. "Dee, what's up with you and Marshall?" I asked deciding to be straight forward. "Nothing, why?" she asked. "Oh, I don't know," I said. "Maybe it's because of the way that he's been looking at you and don't you dare pretend that you haven't noticed." She blushed but didn't say anything. "Dee, you and Cecil stopped being married years ago. Even the boys knew it so if that's what you're thinking about..." "It's not just that." she interrupted. "It's the whole wolf thing, I mean he's not human." she said. "No, he isn't." I agreed not quite sure if that was the real issue or not. "Have you talked about any of this?" I asked. "Not really and that's because I not ready to." she admitted. "Well, Marshall is a very patient man, he won't push you but know that you'll be able to ask him anything and he won't lie to you." I told her. I think that helped her some, she relaxed a little and patted my hand. The guys came in with the sandwiches and drinks both of which I declined. I couldn't take another drink or bite of anything even if there was a gun held to my head. We watched one more movie or rather they did because I fell asleep on Matt's shoulder, I was getting tired more easily and believe it or not, I was thinking less and less about making love and more and more about sleep. I mentioned that to the doctor at the last appointment and he told me that it was my body getting ready to deliver. We had eight weeks to go but it could be sooner so Dee helped me pack my little overnight bag that we kept in the truck. The guys had everything planned down to the minute, as soon as it was clear that I was in labor, Matt would call the doctor while Kevin called the hospital. Louis would call Marshall if he wasn't here while Tony would get the truck while Paul took me downstairs to the truck. Dee and the boys would meet us at the hospital. Sounds good right? We'll see. The next evening after dinner we once again convened to talk about names. Four hours later, we had out names picked out along with the alternates. Once again Cecil Jr. acted as secretary and wrote the names down, made copies and handed each of us one. The guys folded the names up and put them in their wallets while Dee put hers in her purse. I noticed that she looked a little sad and wondered what was up. "I'm fine." she told me when I asked. "I was just wishing that Cecil would have been half as excited as these guys are when he found out that I was pregnant." "Cecil was a fool who didn't know a good thing when he saw it and definitely when he had it." I told her. "I also think that you know that Marshall is a completely different kind of man." I added. "But what about the wolf thing? Didn't it bother you at first?" she asked. "No." I replied truthfully. "It didn't and it doesn't. Dee, I can't tell you what to do or how to think but you said that you wanted someone to look at you the way Matt and the others look at me. There is someone who looks at you that way if you're not too afraid to look- Marshall cares for and about you and the boys but what happens is up to you." I said. "You're right." she said quietly. "I don't know why I feel so guilty about wanting to be with someone else, Cecil and I hadn't been a couple for years. I know that he didn't love me and let's be honest, I didn't love him either so what's wrong with me?" she asked. "You're scared." I said taking her hand. "And after everything that's happened, I'm not surprised. I would be scared too." I said. "And I think that you and Marshall need to have a heart to heart at some point." I added. Enough 'Dear Abby' I had babies to get emotionally ready for. We all sat in the waiting room at the Dr's office, I felt like three Goodyear blimps rolled into one and seriously waddled instead of walked. My back ached horribly and I literally had to be pulled to my feet when I had to stand up. I was tired of having strangers rub my stomach for luck; I was tired of being force fed water and then peeing all night and let's not forget that there was no position comfortable enough that I could sleep. I now slept in a recliner that one of the guys moved into the bedroom. One morning I was looking at myself in the bathroom mirror and had a bout of insecurity. Remember that I wasn't a small woman before I got pregnant, now I was just huge and I didn't see anything remotely beautiful or pretty about myself. "You are absolutely gorgeous." Tony said from behind me. I hadn't heard him come in; how long he had been standing there I didn't know. "Liar." I said as I wiped away a tear. "You know that I don't lie." he told me as he put his arms around me and kissed my neck. "You are so beautiful and don't you ever think otherwise." I didn't feel beautiful but I wasn't in the mood to debate it. That night at supper I barely ate anything, I was on edge and trying really hard to relax. I had to; I still had another four to six weeks to go. Dee, Marshall and the boys for all practical purposes were living at the house because they were afraid that they would miss something. I was so preoccupied that I didn't even ask Dee about how things stood between her and Marshall. I just wanted this to be over, yep you got it; the novelty of being pregnant had worn off. That night we went to bed early and as usual, I was helped into the shower, washed clean dried off and massaged with coconut oil. They say it's supposed to help stretch marks, well we'll see about that. Matt and Kevin helped me into my chair, raised the feet and lay on the floor one on either side of me. I looked over at the bed and longed to be in it with my guys surrounding me. I missed the warmth of their bodies but in spite of all of the discomfort and grouchiness, I couldn't wait to meet our babies. The next three weeks drug by mostly because I could barely move on my own. Even the chair had become uncomfortable. We padded the headboard of the bed and tried to have me sleep that way but the problem was I kept sliding down so Tony lay across the bed length wise after I got in. Louis and Paul arranged my legs so that they were draped over Tony's back in effect making him my stopper which was fine until I had to go to the bathroom and we started all over again. By now the doctor was coming here instead of me going there. Every time he came I prayed that he would say that it was time for me to go to the hospital and each time he left without saying the magic words, I wanted to cry. Darrin and Glenda stopped by several times but never stayed for long thanks to Matt but I knew that he talked to them several times a day. Everybody it seemed was holding their breaths waiting for the appearance of seven lucky babies. The one thing that I did notice was that Dee and Marshall were a lot cozier. Cecil Jr. was the one to fill me in. "She likes him and so do we." he said. "It's about time that she was happy." he added looking at her with a smile. Well there you have it, Dee and Marshall. It's about damned time, Cecil wasn't worthy of her guilt or loyalty. Dee told me herself later in the evening. "I took your advice and we talked. You were right, I asked him everything that I could think of and he didn't lie to me. He told me about that woman Misty and that you killed her, Jesus Allie! Weren't you scared?" she asked. I didn't want to talk about Misty any more than I wanted to talk about Cecil, they were both bad memories and I told her that. "Well ok, but I do want to hear about how you kicked her ass." Dee replied. "So what's the scoop with you and Marshall?" I asked as I tried to get more comfortable in the chair and failing miserably. "I... I don't know yet. I like him a lot and he has the ringing endorsement from the boys, Tyler especially. I just don't want it to be a rebound type of thing." she replied. "Rebound? What in the hell from?" I asked. I really didn't understand and I told Dee that I didn't but then again, I didn't need to and I told her that too. ***** So here it is, September 10 and I'm still pregnant and if at all possible bigger. I've given up on trying to sleep and sat in my chair with Matt holding my hand. Somewhere around one am, I had a contraction, I ignored it because I'd been having them off and on now for weeks. What got my attention was when I felt like I had just wet my pants, my water had just broken. Now here's where we find out how well the plan was going to work. "Umm Matt, you'd better call the doctor." I said calmly. "What? Are you sure?" he asked as he reached for his phone and dropped it. "Shit!" he cursed as he reached for it again. "What's going on?" Paul asked. "Matt is trying to call the doctor." I said. "The doctor?" Paul asked and then he understood. By then Matt had the phone in his hand and was waiting for the doctor to pick up. Kev had better luck in keeping a hold of his phone and called the hospital. Louis was already calling Marshall and Dee and Tony was headed out of the bedroom to go get the truck. In the mean time, Paul was already carrying me down the stairs, in hindsight; we should have slept in one of the downstairs rooms. We'd have to remember that for the next time... next time? Was I nuts? I hadn't even had these yet and I'm thinking about the next time? I had to be certifiable. The truck was waiting out front with the doors already open. In no time flat we were in the truck and headed toward the hospital. We were almost there when Louis realized that no one had called Darrin and Glenda, he made the call and I could hear Glenda's excited squeals from where I was sitting. I was really hoping that she wouldn't insist on being in the room too, seven people was plenty. The boys would wait in the waiting area that was set aside specifically for us, the room was set up with a television, snacks and cots to rest on. There was even a staff person there to do whatever they could to keep everyone comfy. As soon as we got to the hospital, someone came out with a wheelchair but Paul refused to put me in it and carried me inside. We were taken to a huge room that looked like a luxurious hotel room that came complete with a cold buffet that had sandwiches and things like that. The Doctor came in just after I got into my gown. "How are you doing?" he asked. "A little nervous but fine." I replied. "Good, your water broke is that right?" he asked. I told him that it broke about an hour ago and that the contractions were about twenty minutes apart. He had Matt help me up onto the bed and examined me. "Alright Allie, you're beginning to dilate. There's no need for you to be in bed unless you want to be but it can speed things up some if you walk." he said. I was all for expediting things and headed for the door. Matt stopped me. "You want to wait for us?" he asked. Two hours later I was still walking Matt and the others tried to get me to rest but I wanted to keep walking. Finally I was tired enough and the contractions were strong enough that I wanted to lie down. Once again, I was examined and was told that I was now in active labor and boy could I tell. The contractions were considerably stronger and coming faster. Paul sat behind me with his legs on either side of me while Matt and Kev each had a hand, Louis and Paul were rubbing my legs as Dee and Marshall each rubbed a foot. This was really happening in a few hours we would be parents and responsible for the care, safety and well being of seven defenseless beings, talk about humbling and scary! The doctor came in to check and offered me pain meds which I refused. This isn't so bad I thought as I was massaged through the contractions. I'm not sure of how long this went on when I was hit by a contraction that was stronger than any of the others. Paul hit the call light and the doctor followed by seven nurses came in. The little beds with the lights were already turned on and set to go. It wasn't long before all I could feel was pain. I forgot all of the breathing exercises that we had practiced for weeks, I was almost panicked. I found myself wishing that I had taken the offer for pain meds, because I'll tell you I didn't know such pain existed. Paul kept talking to me and rubbing my belly which became as hard as a rock with each contraction. Matt washed my face with a cool cloth while Kev let me squeeze his hand as hard as I could. He never flinched even when I squeezed really hard. Wolves Ch. 07 I was examined again and was told that I was doing fine; I was getting there but not just yet. "Just what in the hell does that mean?" I asked rudely. I really didn't mean to be but ... "You're not dilated enough." The doctor said. "You're only six centimeters and we're shooting for ten." he added. Oh god, I'd been at this for almost five hours, I guess my prayers for a quick delivery weren't going to be answered. I tried to rest between the contractions and I tried to do the breathing exercises but I was so tired. Paul pulled me back by my hips and pushed me forward enough so that he could rub my lower back, it did help a little. Dee slipped out once to check on the boys and to give a progress report to the anxious grandparents. It wasn't until the ninth hour that I was proclaimed ready to push. "Ok baby, this is it." Matt said as he kissed my sweaty face. Paul readjusted me between his legs and in his arms after kissing me. One by one each of my guys kissed me and told me that they loved me before going back to their spots. "Alright Allie, give me a push." The doctor said. And push I did for three hours before I heard a "Here comes baby number one!" Jonathan Marcus Christianson finally made his appearance. We all burst into tears when we heard his first cry, I wanted to see him but they had to clean out his mouth first and check his cord. Matt left my side long enough to cut it and then came right back. Soon after Jonathan was born, Michael Alexander arrived followed by Olivia Marie who was followed by Miranda Anne, then Jacob Andrew, Aidan Jayce and last but not least Zachery James. Everyone got to cut an umbilical cord with Paul going last. I wanted to see my babies, I was told that they were fine and had all of their appendages but I wanted to see. Finally after what seemed like forever, I saw my babies. They were so beautiful with their tiny wrinkled bodies and dark hair. I held two at a time taking care to examine them; I had to see for myself that they were intact. "You do good work." The doctor complimented as he examined me to make sure that all was well. One of the nurses changed the sheets on the bed and asked if I was ready for company. I really wasn't but I knew that Darrin, Glenda and the boys were waiting so I said yes. I watched as the new grandparents went from bassinet to bassinet touching each tiny bundle and crying. The boys were a little more reserved but pleased none the less. "Allie they're beautiful." Glenda said giving me a hug. I had to agree with her, they were beautiful babies but then I'm not exactly impartial am I? What I really wanted and needed was time alone with my guys and our babies. Marshall was the one to step up and usher everyone out. "We'll come back tomorrow." he said and kissed my cheek. Dee hugged and kissed me still sniffling still very emotional over the births but then so were we. As soon as the room was empty of extra people, Matt hugged me so tight it almost hurt but it felt good. "Thank you for your gift to us." he said, he was crying again and soon we all were as each of them thanked me. They moved the little beds holding the babies closer so that we could look at them together; I wanted to hold each one of them before I went to sleep. We started with the oldest one and worked our way down, I offered a breast to each one and by the time I got to the last baby, I saw the wisdom in a breast pump, but for that night, it was perfect. When I went to sleep, each of my guys was holding a baby with Matt and Kevin holding two. When I woke up to use the bathroom, all of the babies were sleeping in their little beds being watched over by their daddies. We went home two days later and I don't mind telling you that until we worked out some kind of routine, it was hectic. By the end of the day I was exhausted even with help but part of that was my fault. I did the one thing Dee tried to warn me about. I tried to do everything myself, it wasn't that I didn't want help, it was more like I felt like that I should be taking care of my babies. Well, that lasted three days before Matt put his foot down and reminded me that I had help. Now here we are one year later. The babies have grown so fast and they're very busy but Matt and the guys are always around and they make sure that I get my alone time. Tyler has really come a long way physically and emotionally as have the other boys and that's mostly due to the attention and care of their new dad. Yep, Dee and Marshall mated and still live in my house although Marshall is building a house about a half hour from here so that we can be closer together. I don't know if they'll be more babies or not and it's not something that I worry over. For now I'm enjoying my life as wife to five attentive husbands and fathers and seven very adorable babies. There are so many things that I wish hadn't happened on my journey to this point, but they did and I can't change it. Like what? In my perfect world, there wouldn't have been a Misty to kill, there wouldn't have been a showdown with Cecil or it wouldn't have ended the way it did. In my ending he just would have gone away leaving Dee and the kids with me but we all know that things usually don't work out the way that we want them to. Well, enough philosophizing, it's dinner time for seven very hungry babies.
