Liam got down from his car and he was about to go to Nikki’s house and he saw Nikki with a friend and he hide in a corner and he heard them talking about the good news that Mia has been found and she now leave in the human world and Liam was happy to hear the good news and he left and go back to his car, he drove back to his place to tell them the good news.Rose got back home and she met Caleb sipping blood, she was happy hearing the good news that her daughter will be back soon, Caleb notice that she was happy and not moody.“ You look so happy” he says.“ Yes, I am very happy right now because Dan will bring back our daughter to us” she says and Caleb was surprised.“ How is that possible? She is no where to be found” he says.“ She is been found, she live in the human world but Dan will bring her back” she says and she was happy but Caleb was not happy and Rose notice.“ You don’t seem happy about the good news. Is everything ok?” She ask.“ I don’t know how I will face Mia, I hope she will forgive me” he says as he was sad.Dan got back to his park, he went down from his car and he went his team and Jessica was standing.“ There is a good news about Mia” he says and Jessica was scared about the good news.“ What is the good news?” Jessica ask.“ Mia has been found” he says and Jessica’s heart beat fast.“ What?! How is that?” She ask and Mike and the rest of the team smiles.“ That is a good news, our park will be safe from death” Mike says.“ Where is she?” Jessica ask.“ She is in the human world and I am going to get her” he says and he left and Jessica’s was chattered and she was angry and Mie notice and he went to meet her.“ You should be happy about this good news because finally our problem will be solve” he says and he smiles because he knew that if Mia reunite with Liam the Jessica will be his.Mia was in the kitchen preparing dinner for the kids and herself, she was in a deep thought thinking of what to tell her to her kids while eating ok dining when she heard knocked on the door and she wonders who he could be, she walked out from the kitchen and she walked to the doorstep and she opened the door meeting a stranger in the doorstep, Liam was happy when he saw Mia for the second time and he smiled, Mia wonders why he was smiling.“ How may I help you?” She ask.“ I finally found you my mate” he says and Mia was surprised.“ What do you mean?” She ask in surprise and Liam was still smiling.“ Can I come in?” He ask.“ No, you can’t” she replies, Brian and Brianna called her name and they both ran to the doorstep, Liam saw tie cute kids and he knew they were his and he can see the resemblance.“ Mum! Is the dinner ready?” Brian ask.“ You promise to tell us whom our dad is” Brianna says and Liam and Mia stare at each other.“ Brian, Brianna go back to your rooms right now as you can see I have a visitor” Mia says in anger.“ Why should they go back to their rooms?” Liam ask and Mia yells at him.“ This is not non of your business stranger so you can leave now” she says and she was about to shut the door and Liam hold the door.“ Kids, I guess you want to know how your father is?” Liam ask and the kids nodded their head as they were happy.“ Yes of course” Brian replies.“ Do you know whom our father is?” Brianna ask.“ Yes, I do” Liam replies and Mia was surprised.“ What do you mean? Who are you?” She ask.“ If you let me in then I will tell you whom I am” Liam says and Mia do not seems to trust him.“ Brian, Brianna! You both to go back in now” Mia says.“ Why mum?” Brian ask.“ Don’t you want us to know whom I our dad is?” Brianna ask and Mia yells at them and she told them to go back in and they both went back in.“ Calm down Mia Roguez” he says and Mia was surprise he knew her name.“ You know my name?” She ask.“ Yes, I do. I will introduce my self, I am Liam Snow from the White moon park and the leader of the white moon park, I am your mate, we are meant to be together” he says and Mia was surprised.“ What? That can’t be. Your park and my park are never in good terms and I don’t think we ca ever be in good terms so it will be better if you leave now” she says in anger.“ You are talking nonsense so it’s better if you leave now” she says in anger and she shut the door and she met the kids behind her and they were upset and she went to hug themIn and Brian and Brianna pushed her way.“ Why are you so wicked mum? That man wanted to tell us whom our father is but you won’t let that happen” Brian says and Mia fleet guilty.“ I am sorry sweetheart but i promise, I will bring him in but I want you to go back to your seat”she says and the kids went back to their seat, she opens the door again and she met Dan her betrothed mate about to knock and sue was shocked to see him.“ Dan! How did you found me?” She ask and Dan was happy to see her again after so many years, she smiles and Liam came back to the doorstep and Mia and Dan stage at each other, Dan wonders who Liam is,,Liam also wonders how Dan is.We can’t stay any longer.” My best friend’s gentle tones broke into my misery. “If we don’t get going, we won’t have time to get settled before winter.”“Can you believe this used to be our home?” Because I couldn’t. Where once there had been nothing but open ranch land, a developer had placed their stamp. And by stamp, I meant over a thousand housing units. Mostly single “ranch-style” homes and townhomes, but a few apartments as well, with a centerpiece of a shopping center complete with Walmart and Olive Garden and half a dozen fast-food outlets. Among other things. Basically, those who lived there might never have to leave the development unless they wanted to. There was even a two-story medical-dental office structure.Everything new and shiny and made of materials created in factories. The landscapes were bespoke or maybe tailored or something to the clients who purchased them. Carson Valley’s natural high desert environment was suffering terribly under current drought conditions
It was, and the sun was still visible over the Sierras to the west. “I thought we’d go at least until sunset and then find a place to set up the tent. Unless you’re tired?”“No, not really. Not yet.” He sucked in a deep breath and let it out in a longwhoosh. “Smells good already.”I sniffed, letting the clean pine-scented air fill my lungs. Technically we weren’t in the foothills, but it appeared that way since the valley sat at nearly 5000 feet above sea level. I turned around and walked backwards, taking in what might be our last view of the area where we’d grown up for a while. “If we go another hour or two, we’ll get some real distance behind us.”“Agreed. I’m ready to let my wolf out. He’s been antsy for a while.”“Mine, too. It was their den as much as our house.” Leaves crunched under our boots, a reminder of how late in the year it was but also a balm to my really rattled soul. Our garden had been a sanctuary, but since it was gone, massacred by progress, I’d missed the quiet
I was not meant to be alone.And I had been. For far too long. If the worst happened and I died of hypothermia or was taken down by a poacher who spotted movement and shot without thinking, it was better than the way I had been living.I hoped that Nikky, my neighbor’s daughter, would be good to my poultry. I’d have brought them if I could, but how would I have led a flock of chickens, geese, and ducks over the mountains?I had to press on, no matter who or what had groaned or made a noise that sounded like one. Every step took me closer to where I wanted to be, where I prayed I’d be welcomed or at least allowed to remain. In the distance, the moon’s reflection brightened a lake, and I made for it, ready to replenish my water stores. Luckily, I had a filtration straw, so I wouldn’t have to treat it any other way and ruin the taste. Like with the iodine tablets I’d used before a guest left the straw behind after a visit.Mike I hurried down toward the shimmering body of water and crou
A guttural moan came from the man behind me. He was awake. The stiffie might have told me so, but I didn’t want to mistake morning wood occurring late at night for a deliberate attempt to fuck me.So, I gave another squeeze, the tip grazing my ready hole. “Feel good, Jessica ?”“Yes. It feels pretty great.”“Understatement of the year from my position. Any idea how this happened?”“No.” He nipped the spot where my neck met my shoulder. “But it’s about time, isn’t it?”I didn’t want to believe it. We’d been friends forever, business partners in our gardens that had ended so disastrously. We’d had such an incredible life together so far, sharing everything, all but the one thing I’d craved deep within my soul. I licked my lips, prayed for the right answer to the question I was about to ask. “About time for what?”“To mate.”My eyes flooded with tears, but this was not the time to cry or discuss something so right. Why now? That was a question for another time or one that perhaps might n
A good day.We hiked on, discussing our plans for building gardens up here and how we wanted to develop a seed program around native plants of the area. We thought it might be a way to earn a living as well as do something valuable to the earth. Liam pointed out various plants he thought we could incorporate into our program, and I appreciated once again how he had been able to pivot from the plans we’d had before to the ones we were building now.“Maybe it was the stress we were under?” Liam posited. “Maybe that was why we were ready to be together?”“Doubtful.” I bent to rub my fingers over a low-growing shrub to release its scent. “We’d been under that stress for months before we came up here. Don’t you think it might have been our wolves? They might have gotten tired of our hesitation.”“Had yours ever pushed you in any way to speak out? To act on your feelings?”I considered as we came to the top of the trail above the lake and began a switchback down to a high meadow. “No, actua
Liam My wolf was remarkably pleased to have the female join us. I supposed that was because he liked to be around as much pack as possible, and he seemed to regard Mia as a pack member. She hadn’t been accepted yet, but it was probably going to happen. According to our new traveling companion, she had skills that would be valuable to us. Baking was always popular, but working with poultry was a good thing. Also, she could weave a bit, and I knew old Helga was dying for someone to help her with that.A bigger worry was the look of the sky. As soon as we’d gotten off the switchbacks, we also left the fog behind, and the overhead picture was that of clouds pregnant with snow. Something the pack would welcome because we needed the snowpack of winter to grow crops in the spring and summer. There had been so little for so long. But we were not anywhere near where we wanted to be—where there were a few scattered travel shelters we could have holed up in, meaning, we were going to have to ca
“But how?” she whispered. “We were…we were in our fur and sleeping, and now…did you make this happen?”Now I did roll, onto my back, wanting to be prepared to catch her before she fled into the cold and maybe suffered some kind of harm. Outside the tent, the wind was still high and slashing the branches above us. Despite the thick, interwoven canopy, snow had piled upon the tent again, and I’d have to push it off soon. But not quite yet.“No, we didn’t. We wouldn’t have any idea how to do that—or that it was even possible until it happened to us last night. When we get to Triple L, we’ll see if anyone else has more information.”“But you’re safe with us.” Liam laid his head on my shoulder and offered her a smile. “We offered you protection and shelter, and we’d never violate that.”“Good to know.” She sounded just a little snarky, and I liked her even more for it. “Because I’m feeling a little vulnerable here.”“Of course you are.” Taking a chance, I slipped an arm over her shoulders
Shh, some of us are sleeping!The feminine mind voice was not Dan nor was it mine. We hadn’t even mated her yet, and she could hear us? Speak to us? When did that happen? What kind of a mating was this?Her eyes opened, wide, startled, and beautiful. It could be the best kind.“Why are you both making so much noise? Has the snow stopped?”“No.” Dan smiled down at her. “We’re sorry to disturb you. We were just wondering if you thought it was odd that we’re all so comfortable together.”Comfortable might be a bad choice of words. My cock was stiff and weeping with pre-cum, and, under the thigh I’d tossed over Dan, his dick throbbed with life. No, not comfortable. But right. “It’s just right.” That described it. “Mia, did they have any matings in your old pack with more than two people?”She blinked, clearly startled, and pulled back, but Dan stroked her shoulder and she settled back in. “More than two? No. Wait, I have heard about your alphas and their mate. Is that common at the Triple
