Breathing a sigh of relief, he hugged the boy to him and pulled Susie into the embrace. “I sure did, buddy, you were awesome,” he said, nodding to his friend, who gave a slight nod back.
***
“Is he asleep?” Susie asked, looking up from the chair in the Ashlu bedroom. Aelnoth had settled Jason onto the couch in the main sitting room, staying with until he fell asleep, not wanting him to be too far away after his adventures in the council room.
“He is,” he said, settling onto the floor in front of her, capturing her between his thighs and nuzzling her chest. “I can’t believe what he has been through, and still he is full of fight and spirit.”
“He is his father’s son,” she said, running her hands through Aelnoth’s hair. He tilted his head back, savoring the delicious feeling of her hands on him.
“Are you alright?” he asked.
“I am now,” she said, moving her hands down to rub his shoulders. “What will happen to the Alard clan now that both Tylan and Catori are dead?”
“Ahh,” he said. “Well it’s rumored that there are several illegitimate children of the old alpha lord sired before he died, but Catori had them scattered and kept them hidden. Now that she and Tylan are gone, I am sure some of the lower level pack members will search for them. One of them should be brought up to scratch. Symes will keep an eye on it, he may even search himself. It is not good for the kingdom to have a clan without an alpha.”
“What about Donna? Has anyone found her yet?” she asked. That was the one loose end Aelnoth was frustrated he had not been able to tie up. The human had completely disappeared. Best case scenario, she returned to the human world. However, her type of insanity would bring her back to Undervale again. When he found her he would have to use all of his strength not to murder the woman, but Susie had made him promise.
“They haven’t found her yet,” he replied.
“I would hate for there to be more fighting or bloodshed. I think we’ve had enough to last a lifetime.”
“I agree, I think we need more loving, don’t you?” he asked, raising up and capturing her lips with his own.
He loved the taste of her, especially now that she was fully his. He licked her lips begging her to open her mouth for him. She complied, giving up a moan of pleasure as he plundered her mouth, pleasure filling him. He broke their connection taking her throat with his mouth, suckling and ravaging down to the downy tops of her breasts, just barely exposed at the top of the robe she wore. He fumbled with the fabric trying to remove it. Damn her and the long night robes. He reminded himself to collect them later and burn them. From now on he wanted her next to him, naked, each night. Easy access to have his way with her.
“Mmmm… yeah, more loving…” she said removing the robe for him, giving him full access to cup her breasts, running his hand along the soft, satin-like under curve of each then pulling her tightly budded nipples into his mouth, one after the other. She arched her back. “Noth, take me to bed,” she commanded.
“Not yet.”
He trailed his kisses downward, circling the soft hollow of her navel with his tongue. Relishing her gasps and working his way to the entrance of her arousal. He loved her scent and the moisture that greeted him. She arched her back as he sought her delicate center through its hidden folds.
“You are so beautiful,” he whispered into her, the heat from his breath causing her to quiver underneath him. “And you are wicked…” she said breathlessly.
He used his mouth to knead and torture her, licking and lapping as she moaned and arched into him. He took his thumb and used it to accentuate the movement of his mouth as he worked the center of her sex as she bucked beneath him. His only focus was bringing her to the brink of satisfaction. Her movements becoming more tense and jagged, he knew he had her right where he wanted her and sped his up his rhythm wrapping one hand around her buttocks, squeezing lightly without lifting himself from her.
“Aelnoth…”
He found himself growing rock hard as his name fell from her lips as she crested over into her climax.
He gently lifted her from the chair bringing her over to the bed and gently laying her down. She looked up at him with dazed and darkened eyes. The look of his mate fully sated was all he needed to be complete, but he knew she wasn’t completely satisfied, yet, and neither was he.
“ I want to show you a different way of loving,” he said. “The way of my wolf.”
“Please…” she whispered. “I want you, and the wolf, both as one.”
She leaned forward taking the length of his shaft into her hand and stroking slowly causing a growl to bubble up from deep inside of him. Her touch like silk.
He could barely contain his own pleasure as he flipped her around, and pulled her to the edge of the bed. Standing behind her, he massaged her firm, round backside. He lifted her, him giving him access to her womanhood from behind. With a soft moan, he entered her with a forceful thrust. Allowing her to control the pace of their lovemaking, he grabbed her hips and pulled her back, bringing her as close to him as possible as he sank deeper and deeper inside her. It was exquisite how her body took him in, forming and closing around him, making them one. He lowered himself kissing her neck from the back and running his hands up and down her back as she ground against him. Their pace quickening, Susie accommodating his every need.
Her groans were peppered with shouts of his name. He was close to going over the edge but wanted to face her as they came together. He flipped her around once again and brought her up to face him. Never breaking stride, he filled her, exploding into her as they both rode the wave into their climax together. Collapsing on top of her in a haze of sated satisfaction, he smiled as she wrapped her arms around him, nuzzling his neck. His claim on her as complete as her claim on him.
“I’ll love you for all of time,” she said, breathless.
He pulled her into an embrace, “And I’ll love you beyond forever,” he replied.
Epilogue
One Year Later
Susie took a deep breath, pulling in the crisp air. She loved the early fall at the Ashlu den. The way the lake looked bluer than at any other time of the year, and the corn in the fields was high, ready to be picked.
The pack had been preparing the harvest for this year’s Harvest Festival and the Ashlu women had decided to prepare a picnic for the men as they came in from the fields. She placed a protective hand around her growing stomach. Her pup was due in two weeks, and she secretly wished the babe would come early. She wanted the opportunity to enjoy this year’s festival without the drama and fear that clouded the last. Besides, she couldn’t think of a happier occasion than the birth of a new baby to show the king.
“Millie,” Susie said, “I think we can put a blanket right under that tree,” pointing off in the distance a bit. “Then another one over here.”
“Yes, ma’am, Lady Ashlu,” the young housemaid said scurrying over to pull another blanket from the clotheslines.
“Millie, I told you, please call me Susie,” she said, smiling at the girl.
‘Yes, my lady…I mean, yes, Susie.”
Susie laughed. It was strange for her as well, in one short year going from breeding slave to mate of the alpha and lord of the clan. She certainly didn’t think this would be the outcome when she made the decision last year to leave Toronto and come to the shifter world looking for Jason’s father, but that was exactly what had happened.
She settled down onto a blanket of her own and into sorting the different meats that the elder Lady Ashlu had brought back from her last hunt to be prepared for the picnic. The older woman still spent most of her time as her wolf out away from the den, but she had repeatedly assured Aelnoth and Susie that she was fine. She was done grieving, but she preferred nature to the machinations of court. Now that the lord of the clan was married, she felt her place was better served out in the world. She returned often to spend time with Jason, and promised Susie as the time came closer for the new babe, she
would be closer to home as well.
Susie truly missed Alaina, she had been sent off by Aelnoth on some quest or other. She was a wolf who could not be tamed. Susie had her own thoughts on who the girl might consider settling down with, but chose to keep those thoughts to herself, for now.
Susie had several baskets laid out in front of her, she wanted to make sure each farmer’s family had an ample share of the food. They also had games planned for the pack’s children, most of whom were out with their fathers working in the fields all day. Which was exactly where Jason was.
She had been amazed by the changes in her son since coming here. It was as if he was finally home. He no longer suffered from nausea and pain. The shifter doctors were helping him through his transition. He was the youngest child to exhibit shifter genes in Undervale. She and Aelnoth had to have harsh words with the king earlier in the year when he proposed Jason be kept at court so the doctors could study him further. There was absolutely no way she would allow her son to be tested on, no matter how much benefit the kingdom could gain. He was a little boy, and she wanted him to have all of the experiences the same as all the other little boys in Undervale. Thankfully her husband felt the same way and the king quickly backed down.
She looked toward the fields and saw a giant deep brown wolf heading quickly toward her. She smiled, Jason sat atop his father, now seven the boy was grinning from ear to ear. How many little human boys have their own wolf? she thought.
“Mom, Mom, MOOOOMMMMM!” he shouted as he jumped down from his dad’s back and came running at her full speed.
Aelnoth approached a little slower, circled Susie, and sniffed at her. She giggled at her husband’s attempt to play with her and pushed his snout away. He wasn’t offended. He settled lazily into her lap.
Throughout her pregnancy, he had spent more and more time around her in his wolf form. Susie hadn’t asked him but assumed it was his protective instincts kicking in. She didn’t mind, she liked his wolf form. She loved that she was always able to read his true emotions in his yellow eyes.
“What is it, buddy?” she asked her son, absent-mindedly stroking the soft fur on her husband’s back as he settled into a languid slumber. She turned her face up to the sun to catch the last little bit its heat before Fall fully set in.
“Dad and I want to show you something,” Jason said filled with exuberance.
“Yeah?” she said. “Well, it looks like your dad’s checked out. I have some pumpkins set out for you and the other kids if you want to carve them after the picnic.”
“Yes! I love pumpkins, but I need to wake up, Dad.” The boy ran up to Aelnoth and pushed at him “Dad, Dad, wake up, you have to change back so you can watch like we practiced.”
Aelnoth let out a long, slow yawn and turned his snout away from the boy’s prodding, ignoring him.
“Come on, Dad! You promised!” Jason said, frustrated. Susie couldn’t help but laugh.
The wolf stretched and pawed at the ground. Standing up, he circled around again and made his way over to the clotheslines. He had heard the boy. He knew what his son wanted, and was toying with him.
“Dad, where are you going? We need to be over by the field,” Jason said chasing after his father. Who began to trot away.
She looked intrigued, as her husband walked back toward her in his magnificent male form. Bare-chested, the afternoon sun glistened off of each chiseled muscle. He was wearing only a pair of low slung linen pants Susie guessed he must have stolen from the clothesline. Susie took in a jagged breath, no matter how many times she looked at her husband she was always struck by his raw sexuality and strength.
He gave her the same lazy smile his wolf had shared before and kneeling down he kissed her deeply as he placed a loving hand on her stomach.
“How are you feeling today, my love?” he asked.
“Hmmm… better now,” she replied. “Where did Jason go?”
“Ahh well, if you look out into the field,” he said pointing in the opposite direction. “Watch, he wanted you to see something.”
She looked in the direction her husband indicated and watched as she saw Jason coming at her, running at full speed. As he came closer and closer he jumped into the air, stretching his arms and legs out as far as he could. Susie could see the strain on his face. Whatever he was doing, he was trying his absolute best.
Then as suddenly as he jumped, Jason spun around mid-air and in his place was a small, dark brown fur ball. He was a miniature version of Aelnoth.
“What the…” Susie said, eyes wide, as Aelnoth grabbed her hand, his smile stretched from ear to ear.
“He has been practicing all morning,” he said.
As the boy wolf came close and nudged his mother with his snout. She couldn’t believe it. Tears sprang as she cuddled her son’s furry head in her lap.
“I am so amazed by you buddy, that was amazing!” she said and Jason jumped up and licked her face. She giggled and held him tight. Looking up at her husband, she saw he too had tears in his eyes.
“We made him,” he said, leaning in to kiss her.
“We did,” she agreed.
“You once told me there were consequences for our actions, these are consequences I will gladly take. Forever,” he said.
“Me too,” she replied kissing him back. Her Family. Her Blood.
The End.

The Deadwolves Prisoner
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H7JFLTK
I’ve been kidnapped by werewolves, and I’m being held against my will by two men who want me.
It’s up to me—use their protection, or be released to the killers after me. Take their help, or go on my own.
Things aren’t what they seem, and I’m beginning to suspect that I’m backing the wrong side.
They have the looks that drive me crazy, but are they using me?
Touching me, pleasing me, taking me.
It feels so wrong and yet so right….

Now I have to convince him, from the confines of this stupid white birdcage, that I’m not just some stupid animal so I can get out and find a way home.
I’m learning the language from scratch, but it doesn’t look like speaking will be enough…until suddenly it is, and I show him what humans can do when they’re alone in a dark room…
