Chapter 11 family run/surprise
Lucy
In the morning, now that we were fresh and calmer, could enjoy having Oliver and Aurora here. We enjoyed our breakfast, and to be honest I think mom was glad to have some of the pack go back home.
“I feel bad that I interrupted your first family-run, Lucy. Why don’t we all go together and we can help you get better getting acquainted with your wolf.” Aurora gave me a little smile as if she’s offering a peace offering.
“Yeah, I’d like that. Thank you, Aurora. I know of a great snowy spot that I think you’d love.” I smile back to calm her nerves and she lets out a sigh of relief. “If you want to see snow why don’t you and Oliver follow me, I can show you my second home…” Lyall looked at me and smiled as he knew where I was talking about. After breakfast, we all grabbed our snow gear and had a snowy walk in the forest. The looks of excitement in Aurora’s eyes reminded me of a little kid seeing snow for the first time. Even someone as powerful as her can be excited for the simple thing as snow. From tall evergreens and various other trees to logs and branches on the ground covered in fluffy snow and fresh snow falling on us making it colder. Far different from the poise and regal persona she tried to show us last night. Maybe this is what Oliver meant to relax… I grab a little snowball and threw it to Oliver. He turns around to figure out who threw it but I don’t have a good poker face. I smile and laugh and threw another one at him and start a snowball fight with them as if I knew them my whole life.
“Oh really, Lucy? I promised Aurora a snowball fight, but I can settle for this!” Oliver laughs at me and throws one at me. I would like to think had we met in France maybe we could’ve been friends… we pause our walk to have a little snowball war. It was a ‘fierce battle’ but I think we got them pretty good, although not bad for someone who hadn’t seen snow before. We finally get to where I wanted to show them, and it really was my second home. Wild Forest Pack territory… with it nestled in the forest and mountains the snow was so beautiful. Oliver and Aurora were amazed to see Conall and Lyna’s pack. No giant packhouse, not a lot of acreages, but enough to keep them comfortable.
“Welcome to Wild Forest Pack. We’ve been expecting you.” Conall comes out to greet us while Oliver and Aurora look at us like we had fallen to their surprise.
“Surprise. This is my other home, and as much as I love my parent’s house, this is home.” I lead them here cause I couldn’t hide this from anyone.
“Where’s the packhouse?” Aurora looks confused by our layout, and probably in culture shock.
“Don’t have one. We’re a smaller pack, but we’re family. All the higher-ups have their own houses and the rest of the pack sleep in a communal place where unmated wolves sleep. Mated wolves have smaller houses. Come, I’ll show you around.” Conall leads us around the territory and they seemed awed and amazed.
“River Moon back home is much larger… the largest in California so seeing this… it’s lovely and quaint. You must be really close.” Aurora smiled as they finished the tour.
“Yes, we are. It hurt us deep when our alpha and luna were killed, but speaking of luna, here’s Lyna where she can show you her special place.” Lyna stepped out of the alpha house and smiled at our guests.
“Hi guys, welcome to Wild Forest. I know Conall has shown you around, but I’d like to show you a spot that’s very important to me.” She showed us behind the community center and the outdoor ceremony area to her parent’s graves. I haven’t been here until now. I knew it was a special spot, so I didn’t want to disturb her when she was here.
“Here lay my parents… I know it’s been over six years since their passing but it always makes me cry when I come here. Sometimes I can sit here for hours just talking to them like they’re still here…” I see Lyna tear up a little and Aurora goes up to hug her. Somehow with a swirl of her hands, a bouquet of marigolds is in her hands and she places the bouquets on the graves and places an enormous pile of petals and flowers around the gravesite. Along with a small bouquet of sunflowers to place next to the marigolds, and an archway of vines and flowers acting like an entrance to the gravesite.
“Aurora this is beautiful! How did you do that??” All of us were thinking it, but Lyna was the only one who had the strength to ask.
“As with gold and silver wolves are gifted with powers. Same thing with my sister and me. As an ivory twins, we each are gifted with powers as unique as the other. I can bend earth and fire, produce lightning, manipulate light and senses, I can create armor from objects I touch, and create vortexes. Apart from our individual gifts and our elements. We can heal the sick and wounded, mental shields, force fields, my royal voice (which is stronger than any alpha), telekinetic and telepathic powers.” Wow… note to self don’t get on her unpleasant side…
“So let’s not make you upset or get on your unpleasant side, gotcha.” Lyall trying to lighten the mood and could probably feel what I was feeling. We all laughed at the comment, but there was some truth to that.
“We’re family, I don’t intend on getting angry with you. As for the marigolds, when Mexicans or Mexican Americans celebrate Dia de Los Muertos, the day of the dead in English, marigolds are used to honor the dead and guide them home. Marigolds guide the spirits to their altars using their vibrant colors and pungent scent. Goes way back to the Aztecs to honor the goddess of the dead.” Lyna seemed to like the gesture and gave her a gentle hug.
“Thank you, that’s very sweet. They’re kind of my spirit guides in a way. It’s not the same as having them here, but I know they’d be proud. I figured if we’re going to be allies I show you everything… even my weakness…” Conall gives her a side hug to comfort her and wipes away her tears. “Come inside out of the cold, we have a roaring fire, some hot chocolate, and a feast at our house.” We all go inside and the warmth of the fire felt so good on our cold clothing. I put my clothes near the fire to dry off and have some of that delicious hot chocolate. We sit around by the table with some hearty venison stew and I feel the relief of being warmed up. Once the party was over Oliver and Aurora wanted to talk to Conall and Lyna some more, but Lyall pulled me aside.
“Why don’t we go to my house?” His house? We hadn’t been to his since our date… feels like a lifetime ago.
“Sure, I’d like that.” I grab my snowy clothes and say goodbye to Lyna for the wonderful food and hot chocolate. We walk to his house luckily isn’t far through the snow again. Once we get to his house all the memories of our date come back to me.
“Now that I have you to myself…” He kisses me like he had a hunger for me… and I kiss him back.
“Where did that come from?!” I ask him with some shock in my tone. He chuckles at me like he had this all planned out.
“Now that we’re officially mates, please let me mark and mate with you… it’s the first time since you’ve had Scarlett that we finally be alone and your scent is driving me crazy! The smell of fresh lavender and sunflowers has been driving me crazy since Scarlett has been let out.” So that’s why he’s been practically attached to me the past few days…
“Didn’t you already mark me?” I smirk at him knowing that he had to, to get Scarlett out…
“I didn’t want to that way… but I didn’t have much choice if we wanted Scarlett to wake up. Please let me make it up to you…” He kisses me again and I kiss him back with the same hunger…
“Show me how you’d make it up to me…” I smirk at him as I kiss him again, he takes us around his house until we finally get to his bedroom.
“I love you, Lucy and Lykos loves Scarlett… let us show you…” I was so lucky that I had some nice lotion on and shaved today. He started gentle, which I appreciated. He lays us down gently but even then; I’m still trembling from either nervousness or excitement not sure which one.
“Mine…” I’m pretty sure it was Lykos who said that, but I was distracted by him trying to take off my clothes to really care. A soft moan leaves my lips as he leaves a trail of kisses to my shoulder. He kisses my neck leaving my shoulder behind and before I know it his teeth sink into my mark. Dazed, I grip the sheets to hold me down, but he wraps my arms around him. Once he’s done remarking me if that’s even possible, he seems to have a mind of his own and I feel him stripping what’s left of my jeans, and I feel his fingers slip in between my legs. Finally, he snaps and lifts me onto his shaft in a single swift motion. I scream in pain and pleasure since this is my first time… I feel a trickle of blood down my leg but soon the pain goes away and turns to pleasure.
When I pull back from the kisses, I’m panting and I can hear each other’s hearts pounding against our rib cages. I wrap an arm around his neck and bury my fingers into his hair while the other claws at his back.
“Lyall…” I moan out his name for the first time and he seemed to take it as a challenge. With a smirk, he hammers me harder, and my eyes roll back as my nails dig into his back. Even a few tears line my eyes before I clench down on him in a grip. Finally, I lose it and I bite down on him leaving my mark on him for the first time. Both of us experience an orgasm like never before… I swear I saw stars, and he gave me a few light strokes as we both felt relief, and I feel him filling me with an endless stream of his seed.
“I think I outdid myself,” We chuckle as his seed is still spilling onto my legs and he pulls out. We just lay in the queen-sized bed for a moment to catch our breath. He takes me into his arms and we just cuddle while we get off the high of our first time together…
“I will put a pup in you whether it’s today or someday. I love you very much Lucy Celeste Amelie Artaud-Shaw…”
“How in the world did you find out my full name!?” I look at him dumbfounded only my family really knows that, and it’s not used often.
“I overheard your mom one day when she got a little mad at you for something, but I added your dad’s name when I figured out what Oliver’s was and just hyphened it.”
“Ok smart-aleck…” I go back to cuddling him, and we don’t have a care in the world right now and I’m perfectly happy with that…
