Wave music? Fucking Wave Music? Valaria's first thoughts when she woke from what felt like a month long sleep, she opened her eyes to the dimly lit room, there were candles everywhere and a dark figure slumped in an armchair in the far corner, she could smell rosemary, most likely from the candles, she could smell something else too, mmmmm Dominic, she only met him for a few minutes but his scent had left a lasting impression on her and her panther who by the way was very happy to be swimming in his scent right now.
“Dominic?” she managed weakly.
The dark figure stirred and looked towards her, all she could see from the shadows was the tell tell golden eyes of that man, that sweet wolf man that she couldn't stop thinking about.
“I'm here.” He said gently as he rose from the chair and walked towards her bed, “You've been out for a few days, you were both exhausted.”
Valaria's eyes grew wide as she suddenly remembered how she got here, “Oh god, The King!” she exclaimed trying desperately to get up from the bed, Dominic eased her back and replied.
“It's Okay, we're on lock down, right now we're safe.”
She shook her head and said, “No, you really aren't!”
As Dominic realised the fear in her dull grey eyes they were interrupted by a knock at the door, without waiting for permission Amber entered, food trays in hand.
“Oh you're awake,” she said near a whisper but still with such excitement in her voice, “Both of you are awake.”
She placed the trays at the foot of the bed and left without another word, Valaria never once took her eyes off of Dominic and he never took his eyes off of her, each of them felt a pull like magnets to a pole, neither of them wanted to fight it, even if they did it would be useless, what was now happening was beyond anyone's control, and in an instant they both realised just what it was, in unison they both said, with confusion in their voices “Soul Mate.”
Soul mates are exactly what they sound like, they are the ones destined to be together, but it has never crossed the species border before, other species have matted obviously but to find your Soulmate in another species Did NOT Happen, EVER!
“How?” Dominic asked with such a bemused look on his face it almost made him unattractive.
“I... I don't know, it isn't possible...”
Before she could continue Dominic interrupted, “Well clearly it is, this isn't just sexual attraction, this is our souls, our animal spirits destined to be together, they, we were made for each other.”
Each word echoed in his own head, he knew that soon the bond would begin to take hold, it wouldn't be complete until they mated but the emotional connection and the primal need to be together starts almost immediately, as he shook his head trying to understand his own words Valaria cupped his head in her hands and drew him close, resting her forehead against his, a few moments passed and their breathing synced each breath they took was perfectly in time with the others, She placed a soft kiss on his lips, such a soft embrace, he pulled back with a soft smile, “This is going to take some getting used to.”
He could already feel her emotions as the bond began to take hold, at first it’s like an empathic feeling but soon they would have a strong psychic connection, they would literally be able to talk to each other without words.
Valaria stood from the bed her naked body basking in the candlelight, “My Panther needs a run to heal, and we both need space to come to terms with this,”
Dominic agreed, but he wanted to taste her, all of her, he wanted to stick his tongue in her mouth and his cock in her pussy, he wanted to bite her and mark her as his, and his wolf wanted the same, however he knew she was right, this was something that they needed to accept but they wouldn't be able to think clearly in the same room, not until they consummate that is.
Valaria walked through the living quarters hallway still baffled by the recent discovery, she and her Panther needed out, she needed to run but everywhere she turned she was met with concrete, her Panther was growing restless, not only was she pulled away from her soul mate but now she couldn't escape this maze, she turned once more and there it was, a sparkle of hope, at the end of the hallway was an open door, visible through this door was a saviour in green fatigues cleaning what looked like a sniper rifle, Valaria would recognise that dirty blonde hair and perky butt anywhere, “Stacy!” she didn't mean to shout, she was just so relieved to find anyone that could help her get out of the building.
Stacy looked up from her Modified Barrett 50 Cal. To see a very naked Valaria running towards her, she didn't know whether to be happy she was awake or raise her gun, she chose the former, “Val! You're awake.”
Valaria entered the room and wrapped her arms around Stacy, “Gods I'm happy to see you, I need to run, how the hell do I get out of here?”
“Run? Mind if I join? Kinda going nuts being on lock down.
Valaria smiled and said, “If you can get me to the surface, you can ride on my back.”
Stacy actually entertained the idea for a moment but resigned herself to just running with the She-panther.
Once the two were out in the woodland Stacy began to strip and pile her clothes next to a picnic bench, Valaria watched her shift, 'so beautiful' a graceful pure white wolf with the most piercing blue eyes. Valaria then calmed herself and began to shift, a Panther shift was different to that of a wolf, no cracking bones and tearing flesh to reveal fur, it was more phantasmal, she knelt beside Stacy who at this point was sitting, with no pain or movement, pure black fur began to sprout all over her body, but it didn't stay black it began to turn grey with black markings Valaria was in complete shock a panther never changed their colouring, as she continued her shift she landed a paw next to Stacy and realised she was bigger than before, she was as big as the wolf beside her, twice her normal size. 'What the fuck?'
Valaria went into a panic, as did her panther, to Stacy it looked as though Valaria was trying to chase her own tail when I fact she was trying to look at herself, Panthers are usually around the size of a normal everyday panther, unlike their wolf counterparts who are nearly double the size of the average grey wolf, Valaria thought it must be because of the Soul Mate bond, something unseen was happening and it had changed her on a cellular level.
She took off running, stopping every so often to check Stacy was keeping up, the pair ran together for miles and played by the river when taking a drink, any onlookers would think they were going mad seeing a white wolf and a grey panther playing like pack mates, but they were pack mates, in fact they were family, starting to link on a psychic level, Valaria, thanks to the bond with Dominic which was growing stronger and attaching her to the pack could sense Stacy's emotions, even feel her talking to her in her head, it was such a bizarre experience she almost lost her footing a few times, Stacy had released that Valaria must be Dominic’s Soul Mate, why else would she have a bond?
Valaria would get control of her new body and her new gifts, in time, hopefully before she needs to use them.
“Are you sure about this boss?” Stacy asked as she put the SUV into park.“I don't see what choice I have Stacy, besides, I own the damned place.” Dominic replied as he exited the vehicle and looked up at the thirty two floor building in front of him, the logo above the door of the complex was a silhouette of a howling wolf with two crossed assault rifles, this building and the company that it belonged to was Predtech, a high tech private security company made up of preternatural creatures, specialising in advanced non lethal weaponry and bio science, and yes it's Dominic's company, a fortune 5oo scientific research division that was founded long before the day of enlightenment but not public until after the fact.Dominic walked into the lobby with Stacy following close behind, the lobby was like you would expect of a Fortune 500 company, marble walls and floors, lots of open space with a large reception desk again marble, the host looked up fro
In the conference room, Valaria, Mal, Stacy and Tyrone were already deep in conversation regarding the plan for security at the dinner.Nick stood from his seat and raised his glass of orange juice, Dominic knew what was coming.“Don't you dare..” but before he could finish his sentence.“Give it up for our new Alpha female!” The rest of the wolves stood and congratulated their real Alpha and invited them to take the head of the table, Valaria sat next to Stacy and whispered,“You could have warned me he was your Alpha.”“Yes I could have, but where's the fun in that? Besides, how was I supposed to know you were freaking soul mates?” Stacy replied.“Sorry everyone, I had to take that call, so where are we?” Dominic asked while placing his phone in his shirt pocket.“I hope you marked her good brother, cause daddy is going to come knocking any day now.” Nick remark
Stacy nervously tapped her fingers on her key card while standing at the compounds entry door, she had only been waiting for a matter of minutes but to her it felt like hours, she was dressed in a black pants suit, it was well fitted and accentuated her feminine form but it was not as easy to move in as her usual combat trousers and a tank top, she felt restricted and clumsy but she also knew that she had a part to play, to look professional and in charge.The Com link in her ear finally buzzed into life and the crackled voice announced, “Two SUVs coming in.” They were finally here, the vehicles made their way from the main gate towards Stacy, the drivers dimmed their lights to avoid blinding the wolf as they pulled up beside her, quickly the drivers exited the vehicles and moved round to the rear passenger doors, once opened two elderly men exited the first vehicle while two younger women exited the second, the males were dressed in dark suits and both looked wel
Nearly two weeks had passed since Valaria swiped her claws through the throat of the highest seated Council member and Mikhail had told the Pack leaders the truth about their history, there has been no activity from the Pride other than Lucian's arrival to Westingdale and the odd bar brawl in the town between pissed off Panthers taking out their aggression on other Preternatural, no contact had been made to the Pack and life seemed to be back to normal, which worried Valaria, every day that passed she grew stronger and more in-tune with her new abilities, she knew that she would have to use them she just didn't know when, Stacy was working with Tyrone to train other pack members not only with the modified firearms but in Preternatural combat, most of the wolves had never been in a real fight, Stacy had to make sure they could protect themselves, she wouldn't be able to, she would be too busy protecting the compound, but should any Panthers slip through she wanted to know that the wo
This day was the day she would get her questions answered, on this day she would finally get what she had been working towards, Stacy paced back and forth outside Dominic's office as the two males spoke inside, she was actually nervous, her palms were clammy and her heart was pounding in her chest, Mal wasn't here to comfort her, he returned to Predtech to analyse a blood sample that Dr Gumm sent over, in this moment she was alone, Dominic's door swung open and Tyrone exited, he didn't even make eye contact with her, Really dude?“Stacy! Get in here!” Dominic barked,Stacy edged her way into the room which was filled with his scent, his new scent, the one that defined him as a mated wolf, and to Stacy, it was quite pleasant, Dominic eyed Stacy for a moment before speaking,“I have spoken with Tyrone,” his words filled with disappointment which transferred as easily to her as a coffee stain to paper,“We have come to a decisio
Valaria woke with a screeching siren blaring in her head, she could hear her pack running about the halls collecting themselves and finding places for the elderly members to hide, she could feel their panic and fear, she didn’t feel scared or fearful, this was the night that she bound herself to her Soulmate, so fear wasn’t even a passing thought, she did feel something, something that she was about to unleash upon whoever has disturbed this night of hers, anger, no, anger was not the right word, pure animalistic rage was what was surging through her, she stood from her bed and opened the bedroom door, stood there still naked with scatterings of mud and foliage from the run she roared, it was so loud that everyone in the complex halted in their step, she then used her bond with the pack to relay her feelings to them, it shifted their fear and replaced it with respect, respect for their Alpha who now was walking through the halls to meet her mate who had already made it t
The ancient Demon stared at himself in the mirror after wiping the remnants of shaving soap from his throat and under his nostrils, he felt old, but the face staring back at him was that of a fit and healthy thirty year old man, a crisp jawline, prominent cheekbones and a dominant brow, that coupled with his exquisite physique made him damn near perfect, and in her eyes, the one that she loved, he was perfect, she would never say so, she knew he hated compliments and he loved her even more just for knowing, these two were not Soulmates, they were friends and lovers and he had finally decided to confess the full extent of his feelings towards her, after the events that followed Dominic’s mating to a Panther, is love for a Wolf wouldn’t even turn a head, at this point he had no reason not to tell her, he smiled as he saw her naked body shift in the bed from the corner of his eye, How in Hell did I get so lucky.“Mal? What time is it? Stacy asked as she stirred
Logic dictates that any warning delivered by a Valkyrie should be heeded, but delivered by the child of the man you love? A child who you didn’t know even existed and that you have still not received an explanation for? That is a whole other story, the exact thoughts that were racing through Stacy’s mind as she escorted Ellie to the living quarters, Dominic said that they would talk in the morning, which meant putting Ellie up for the night, Stacy made sure to put her in the room farthest from where her and Mal slept, just to be safe.It wasn’t that Stacy didn’t trust Mal, or Ellie for that matter, but to find out that Mal had spawned an offspring even if it was thousands of years ago hurt, it hurt to the core of Stacy’s soul, her Wolf was beside itself with heartache, Stacy hadn’t really noticed until now but it seemed that her Wolf had imprinted on Mal, imprinting is not the same as bonding, imprinting only goes one way, whilst Stacy was
