Kiera couldn’t believe what she was listening to. Everything she feared wouldn’t be happening in her time. “So you’re saying basically that Dean and I are starting a new species of wolf shifter? That we kick off the entire ball?” “Essentially, my dear, Christianity has Adam and Eve. Not true, but close to the truth. What we have is the first stage of the existence of a new species. A few hundred to begin with and you’re both part of it. It’s how it all begins. Believe it or not, but you’re the talk of the world in certain scientific circles because of this. The humans have never seen the moment the gods openly created a new species. You’re lucky you don’t have people visiting to gawk at you. Or try to protect you, or take advantage of your unique situation. Just think of your lives and how you can live them best. Think of your happiness and those around you will come around.” Lillian could feel things clicking in her mind now that were from that unknow

Dean stood, pulled his fingers from her eager heat. While sucking on his fingers, he moaned as he fitted his cock to her entrance. “Fuck.” He cursed as he watched his cock sink into her. There was nothing better than feeling and seeing it. Her hot warmth was slick and ready to hug his aching shaft. “So pretty how you take me all in on one thrust.” He stood there, balls deep in her quivering heat. Dean’s eyes all but rolled to the back of his head as he rested for a moment, enjoying her body. How did he never notice before this how perfect she was in every way for him? Now all he wanted to do was please her along with pleasing himself. Then he leaned over her and replaced her hands on her breasts with his own. His mouth kissing and licking the base of her throat. With his teeth grazing there, he teased her breasts before he used them to hold her to him as he drove into her repeatedly. “That’s it, baby. Take all of me. Listen to how needy you are. You make me so ha

Kiera woke up sore but relaxed. She couldn’t believe how excitable and aggressive Dean became once they entered his bedroom. He knew what he wanted, and he took it. Oh, but at least he returned it as well. Kiera didn’t remember ever having an encounter like that before, let alone an entire night. They’d need to air out the room this morning. Finally, she opened her eyes to see Dean asleep beside her. His hand lay possessively on her breast and his leg was lying over hers. As if he feared she’d escape as he slept. Another night without the nightmares. It felt so good. Her body interrupted her, needing to get up and start her day. There was no way Kiera could move without waking Dean. Too much of his weight was on his leg, pinning her to the bed. She needed the bathroom, and he’d have to live with that knowledge. So, out of the kindness of her heart, she tried to slip out from under him and from the bed without waking him. She made a pained face the enti

Dean and Kiera settled down with the list of possible elders for the vacant positions on the pack’s Council of Elders. It didn’t take them more than a few minutes to go through the list and compare notes on all the elders. They discussed their skills, experience, and temperament. It was easy enough for them to agree on the three with two backup options. With the results from Jerome’s calls, they had two seats vacant, and Dean gave Jerome the information on the candidates for those positions. He would ensure that the elders would accept the position and agree to be tested. Dean then turned to his email and took a look at it. As usual, there were several new emails since he’d last looked at his inbox. “Hey, we have something here from the chief investigator. He wants to meet us at our earliest convenience. How about you come with me and hear what he has to say for himself?” “Well, it sounds better than sitting here wondering what was going on

Next thing on the hit list for Dean to deal with was the meeting with the new Council of Elders. It took several days to get the elders straightened out and, in the meantime, Dean received a message from Dr Graves with an appointment time for them to see him. At least Dean could tell Kiera that they weren’t bugs under glass interesting. The appointment was for nearly a week after he would first sit with the Council of Elders. It was a relief of sorts for Dean to know that Dr Graves could follow through on his offer and advise them, at the very least, through this attempt. There were rumours of other successful matings but more still of failures that had happened. Dean couldn’t fathom the grief and sadness that came from such an event. He promised himself that he wouldn’t push Kiera unless he felt sure he would leave her alone in this world. That thought made him stop and wonder why. He knew why, it’s something he didn’t stop to think about
