“I’ll stay on here. Ginnie and I will stay on and build a home here. We’ll do right by you and all these others,” Amp said. Ginnie went to him and slipped into his arms. I could tell she had the same thought as her newfound mate.
“Well, then I’m staying too,” Sprocket added.
“I as well and my family,” the man who approached me said.
“I’m glad. We’re a pack, you know, all of us. We’re a community, a family,” I told them. But then I swooned, my head feeling light and fuzzy.
“You’re done giving speeches, fur ball. Let’s get her inside,” Yeager told me. He and Amp helped me to the house and then to an empty room where I laid down on the bed. Amp looked me over and then cleaned and dressed my wounds, stitching the gash on my chest and on my thigh. After that, I slept. I didn’t awake until that evening. I found Yeager, Edie and Agnes sitting in chairs they’d moved into the room.
“Evening, sleepyhead,” Edie greeted me.
“Hey,” I said rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
“How do you feel?” Yeager asked as he got up and came to sit on the bed.
“Not bad, actually. These hurt,” I said indicating the stitches, “and my ribs are sore,” I complained.
“Agnes showed us where they kept the medicine. We’ve got pain meds,” Yeager offered.
“No, I’m fine. I don’t want to take those,” I said and looked down. Yeager understood why I didn’t want pain medication.
“Oh yeah, right. Everything’s OK isn’t it?” he asked me.
“I’m pretty sure,” I replied.
“What are you guys talking about?” Edie asked. I forgot she didn’t know I was pregnant.
“I’m pregnant,” I told her. Edie looked at Agnes confused.
“Did you know about that?” Edie asked and Agnes’ expression left no doubt. “How come no one told me?” Edie asked, a bit of pain in her voice.
“I’ve been kind of busy. I’m sorry,” I told her. Edie looked at me blankly but then smiled.
“I’m going to be an aunt or something,” she said.
“Yep,” I told her. Edie came over and hugged me.
“You’re not off the hook for not telling me though,” she admonished me. I giggled but stopped when my ribs sent shooting pain up my side.
“I want to get up,” I said. Yeager handed me some clothes, Edie grabbed Agnes and they left so I could dress, human customs that really didn’t matter to anyone except Edie but I think she was used to seeing me naked by now. Still it was the polite thing to do.
“You OK? For real?” Yeager asked as I put on the lose tank and yoga pants he’d brought from the motorhome.
“Yeah, promise,” I told him but I could tell he wasn’t only worried about my physical wounds or even the baby. He was worried about how I was handling what had happened. “I’m fine, I swear. That had to happen. I know that and I don’t have any regrets,” I told him.
“You planned that didn’t you?” he asked.
“What?” I wondered.
“Letting her think she’d won,” he clarified.
“Yeah. She was an arrogant bitch. I didn’t know if it would work but I had a pretty good idea,” I admitted.
“I was worried. I almost jumped in the middle,” Yeager told me.
“That would have ruined it, you know that,” I replied. I had to beat her one on one. I had to exhibit my dominance over her to win the hearts of the others. If Yeager had jumped in, her loyal wolves would have attacked. Everything would have fallen apart.
“That’s why I didn’t do it. I decided to trust you and you didn’t disappoint,” he said.
“I am pretty bad ass,” I joked.
“Yes, you are, fur ball,” he replied and I giggled, hugging him with one arm. We walked out of the room on the second floor and I heard what sounded like dozens of people below in the great room talking. I went to the balcony and saw men and women sitting around, eating, drinking and talking. Children played here and there on the floor.
“What’s going on?” I asked.
“They just made themselves at home. Pretty cool, huh?” Yeager observed.
“Yeah, it is. I’m...so happy,” I exclaimed. I headed for the stairs and Yeager helped me down. When I got down to the great room, most of the people there stopped talking and stared. I hesitated, unsure of what might happen. Were they expecting me to say something or to issue orders? Then one woman came to me. She was human. Then a man, her mate I assumed, joined her.
“Hi, I’m Susan and this is Jim,” she greeted me and held out her hand. I shook hers and then his.
“I’m Cassie, nice to meet you,” I said.
“Same here,” they told me and stepped aside. Another couple was behind them and I met them too. Several couples introduced themselves and I happily greeted them. This was perfect. They were assembled here in the house, talking and enjoying one another’s company. They were becoming friends, a family, a pack. But then Sophia, the redhead that had tried to drive a wedge between Yeager and I, approached and bowed.
“Don’t do that?” I told her disgustedly.
“Sorry, Lady,” she said.
“And don’t call me Lady either,” I told her.
“I apologize. I am at your com...,” she began to say but I cut her off.
“No you’re not. You’re not at anyone’s command, especially mine. I get it. You, Gerard and Phillip are all submissive puppies but I have no desire to be your dame. Grow a spine. You’re not a wolf. You’re a shifter. Act like one,” I told her. Sophia looked shocked.
“I...I...uh,” she stammered.
“Look, as long as you don’t cause trouble, I don’t care what you do. Maybe you can find one of Violet’s other minions to be your daddy but it ain’t going to be me, sister,” I told her and looked at Yeager. He shrugged at the woman and led me past her smirking as we went. He leaned in close.
“You’re a real bitch, you know that,” he whispered.
“It must be the hormones,” I argued.
“Yeah, right!” Yeager told me with more than a hint of admiration in his voice. We found Edie and Agnes. They had grabbed three beers along with a glass of water for me and scrounged some food from the well-stocked kitchen.
“This is amazing,” Agnes told me. Another couple interrupted, apologizing before introducing themselves. I greeted them and introduced Yeager, Edie and Agnes as well. They smiled and after we had all shook hands, they left us alone.
“It is pretty cool. I hope this place is always like this instead of the cold, empty place it was before,” I remarked.
“It will be,” Amp said as he plopped into the chair next to where we sat. He pulled Ginnie onto his lap, giggling. “If we have anything to say about it, that is,” he added.
“I’m glad. For that and also that you two found each other. I hope you won’t mind if we come visit now and then,” I told them. Ginnie pushed Amp’s arms down so she could sit up.
“Well, you’d better. We’ve already talked with some of those that want to stay here and build a community...a real community. We all agree on one thing. Wolfsbane just isn’t a good name, flower or not. We’re going to call this place Cassie’s Ranch.” Ginnie told me. I almost cried.
“I...I’m overwhelmed by all of this. Thank you,” I replied. I could tell they would not accept my protests or my modesty. Murphy found us after that and joined us as well.
“That was a nice speech you gave outside,” he told me.
“I just said what I was feeling,” I replied.
“Those are the best kind of speeches. You did good. I’m proud of you,” he told me.
“All right, enough with all the compliments and naming shit after me. You’re all going to make me cry,” I protested. Murphy laughed.
“All right, good enough,” he said and instead just leaned forward and held up his beer. I tapped my glass of water against his and smiled at him.
“Thanks,” I said. Murphy grinned and sat back content to enjoy the a
tmosphere and the peace.
We stayed for a week as I recuperated. I met many new friends at the ranch they named for me. Not everyone stayed, though. Many left to return to their own lives, some alongside the rest of society and others to carve out an existence on the fringes like Yeager and I had. But all of them left knowing they had a home here at the ranch. They knew they were a part of something bigger than themselves. We were a family...a wolf pack.
I found it ironic that it took the demise of Lady Violet to attain that which she promised most of those she lured here. A sense that they belonged to something bigger than themselves, a sense of community. Violet wanted that but on her terms and her terms alone. Now these people could live as they saw fit and as it turned out, Violet’s promise was finally coming true but in a way she would never have accepted. It felt so good to see these people finally get what they came here for.
Leaving the ranch and the people there was hard but I was eager to go back to California and pick up the threads of my life. Edie and Agnes promised to follow but they had some business to tend too. There were children without parents, a few orphaned during our fight with Lady Violet and others brought here after being found living alone like Agnes and Ginnie had been. Agnes felt a connection with these children and she wanted to make sure they all found a home.
Yeager and I drove home alone. By the time we arrived, my wounds were mostly healed. It would be a long time before the scars faded but I was feeling healthy again. We occupied our old spot in the desert near the Salton Sea. It was cold there but nothing like Colorado. It snowed at the ranch a day after we left. Here it was pleasantly warm during the days, cold at night but not a snowflake in sight. I used to like snow but now that I spent a lot of time out and about as a wolf and then naked as a woman, not so much.
Yeager and I spent several days alone, in the motorhome during the days, out exploring the desert at night as wolves. We ranged further each night until on the third night I saw Yeager chasing a jack rabbit ahead of me. I knew how rabbits reacted, running in circles, and I anticipated the creature’s path. I sat and waited patiently as the rabbit led my mate around and then towards me. Yeager never saw me, his attention riveted on the rabbit, until I lunged and grabbed his prize before he could close the distance.
The gray wolf with the silvery streak along his back skid to a stop in the soft, sandy soil as I dispatched the poor, stupid rabbit and tossed it at his feet. He looked at the rabbit and then sniffed its fresh dead body. I just stared at him until he looked at me again and I saw the amusement in his eyes. He picked up the rodent and set it down between us, allowing me the first bite. I tore into the flesh, relishing the warm blood and stringy meat and then sat back to let Yeager have his turn.
We devoured the kill, Yeager finding the heart and once he had pulled it free, he set it down and rolled it my direction. Ah, wolf romance. I gobbled up the treat and looked up to find Yeager was a man again. “You’re so sexy,” he told me. I sat and shifted myself, feeling just a tinge of regret at abandoning my wolf form.
“You know what? I know why you never thought there were females like me,” I said.
“Why is that?” he asked.
“We lady wolves are just a little too wily for you males. Face it, we’re just better at being wolves than you,” I teased. Yeager frowned as I giggled at my joke.
“Pain in the ass is more like it. My life was so much simpler before I found you,” he countered.
“Boring is more like it,” I replied immediately. Yeager chuckled.
“You’re anything but boring, fur ball,” he said. I crawled over the dead rabbit, the air not even close to being cold enough to make me want to put on clothes, and kissed Yeager.
“So we gonna mess around or what?” I asked. Yeager rose up on his knees and coaxed me to do the same. He then wrapped me in his arms and pulled me to him.
“If you think you’re up to it,” he replied.
“Oh, I’m up to it, I promise,” I told him. Suddenly, he had me on my back but gently so as not to cause me any pain. He loomed over me before sinking between my thighs where his lips met my glistening sex. “I missed you,” I told him. He just smiled with his eyes as he proceeded to drive me wild.
~~O~~
The black girl’s hand found its way between Edie’s slender thighs as the lovers kissed. One last night at the ranch before the trip back to California where they belonged. Edie pulled away from Agnes and rolled her mate onto her back. Edie climbed atop the curvy, chocolate-skinned girl and kissed her again. “Are we doing the right thing?” she asked.
“Of course. I don’t care what people think. You and I, we’re mates. We can’t start a pack on our own but we can adopt a pack,” Agnes said. Edie looked to her left, at the room next door where two twin girls slept. Both had the ability, discovered by Violet somewhere and probably destined to be victimized as well. But now they were safe and they had parents again.
“A pack. I like the sound of that,” Edie told her mate.
“I love you, Edie. We’ve got so many people on our side. I’m not afraid,” Agnes told Edie.
“Me either then. You’re right. It’s Cassie and Yeager along with all these people that matter,” Edie said and then as she slipped down Agnes’s curvy figure she added, “I love you too.”
Edie settled between Agnes’ lush thighs and began to pleasure her mate with her lips and tongue. Agnes sighed as Edie worked her magic, squirming as Edie’s fingers slipped between her wet lips. Soon, Agnes was moaning. “Turn over for me,” Edie urged. Agnes knew exactly what Edie wanted.
As the big girl rolled over her tail popped free, wagging excitedly. Edie shoved her fingers back into Agnes as she stroked the big, soft tail and then combed the strip of fur on Agnes’s back with her fingers. “That is so fucking awesome!” Edie whispered before gently biting Agnes’ soft behind. Agnes squealed as she orgasmed and then turned to regard Edie, her fangs bared.
“Oh shit! I’ve awakened the beast,” Edie teased as Agnes got to her knees and threw Edie to the bed roughly. She mounted her slender lover, pushing her silken mound against Edie’s. The two women’s hips moved in unison as each sought to share in the pleasure. They kissed as they moaned and gasped in desperation. The bed rocked as the two mates built towards a crescendo. Edie was the first to climax but that drove Agnes over the edge as well.
The two clutched and groped one another as the bliss ravaged them. Agnes’ fangs drew softly over Edie’s shoulder. Edie dragged her nails up Agnes’s back and reached around her lover’s ample behind to play with her tail. Cries of pleasure escaped their lips as they kissed. Lips discovered breasts, fingers found places to delve and legs entwined as the room filled with the sounds of love. And on it went into the night.
~~O~~
Ginnie gasped as Amp came to her. His back and shoulders were covered in thick, gray fur and his manhood was straining against itself. Ginnie for her part wagged her tail in anticipation as she looked over her shoulder. Her mate took her hips in his big hands and his fingers dug into her flesh. He drove his hard cock into his woman and she cried out in abject pleasure.
Amp growled as he roughly fucked his mate again. Ginnie’s head fell to the bed as she climaxed one more time. Amp slapped her ass and she squealed. Then she felt his manhood become something else, something more animal and much larger. “Yes, that’s what I need,” she pleaded. Amp was more than happy to oblige his mate’s desires.
The burly man hammered into his mate and fiancé. She wore his ring on her left hand now. There was no doubt once they found one another that they were meant for one another. Unlike Cassie, she knew what she was and knew the ways of shifters. Whether Amp was her one true love or just one shifter she was compatible with didn’t matter. They had found one another and they were in love.
Amp picked up the girl and pressed her to his chest as he drove into her from beneath. He bit her neck gently with his fangs as his hands mauled her silky body. He found the thick tuft of fur grown b
etween her thighs and pet it as they made love. Ginnie wailed as she was rocked to her core by the sensations. “Just please, whatever you do, don’t stop,” she begged. Amp slammed her body to the bed and thrust into his mate as he loomed over her.
“Don’t you worry,” was all he said as he brushed her hair aside and kissed her shoulder before fucking his mate even harder. And on they went into the night.
~~O~~
I impaled myself on Yeager’s long, sexy shaft and as promised, he shifted inside of me. I leaned forward, my hands on his chest, and slid up and down his length. Yeager spread my ass wide with his hands as I rode him. “Oh my God, that thing never gets old,” I exclaimed just before a wild orgasm shook me. I screamed, the empty desert swallowing my cry.
