Lycan Rising

Blessed

Chase

Chase jumped off the bed and crouched next to his mate. He felt helpless as she looked at him with fear and panic in her eyes. She screamed as he heard the first bone break, beginning her first shift.

“Listen to me, love, you are shifting into your Lycan for the first time. I know it hurts but you need to relax and not fight it. It will go much more smoothly that way,” he explained.

“Does it always hurt this much?” Kyrie whimpered.

“No, it gets easier every time, and then it’s instant and painless after a few shifts,” he told her, rubbing her back soothingly.

She nodded and gritted her teeth, as the bones began to break more quickly. Midnight blue fur began to slowly sprout onto her her arms and legs. As he watched her back began to elongate as her legs began to change position and shape.

“Her fur is so beautiful,” Robicheaux whispered in awe of his mate.

“She is beautiful,” Chase agreed.

After about twenty minutes, Kyrie completed her shift into Kahlan. And Chase was shocked by her appearance. She was huge, at least as big as Robicheaux, with beautiful midnight blue fur and glowing purple eyes. She had the mark of the goddess blessing on her forehead in the shape of a white crescent moon. Even more shocking though was the sign of the blessing of Fenrir in the shape of his rune on the top of her head in black and red.

Kahlan purred and rubbed her head all over him, marking him with her scent, although he imagined that once the other she-wolves saw her in training that they wouldn’t want to cross her. She then sat down in front of him and looked at him expectantly.

“I’m guessing you want to see Robicheaux now,” he said with a grin.

The huge Lycan huffed at him before nodding as though he should have known what she wanted.

Chase immediately shifted into his huge black wolf, but noticed that something felt different. He was bigger and stronger, and there was something else he couldn’t put his finger on as well.

“Our mates blessings and gifts are shared with us now. I’m pretty sure that her marking us gives us the ability to become a Lycan,” Robicheaux told him.

Chase mulled over this information as he watched the two of them rubbing their fur all over each other and then pressing their noses together. He was so grateful to have finally have his mate and obviously Robicheaux felt the same way. He decided to mind linking Kyrie to make sure that she was ok.

“Hey, how are you feeling?” Chase asked her.

“I’m ok I guess, just feeling a little overwhelmed. I’m also quite exhausted but I want Kahlan to have this time with her mate before we go to bed,” she replied.

“The first shift is absolutely exhausting,” he agreed, “but it takes less energy the more you do it.”

They were suddenly distracted by their beasts deciding to mate in their wolf forms.

“Oh my,” Kahlan told him, “I wasn’t expecting that.”

“I kind of thought that they might do that. You have to remember that they are also mates and desire to be with each other in that form as well. I’m also quite sure that Robicheaux is quite eager for a pup as well,” he told her.

“Is it possible for us to get pregnant that fast?” Kyrie asked in shock.

“It’s more likely when you go into heat. And I’m just guessing that with Kahlan bound you haven’t gone into heat before,” Chase said.

“Go into heat?! Like an animal?” she gasped.

“All shifter females go into heat,” he replied, “I guess because we are so connected to our beast form.”

After Kahlan and Robicheaux finished mating they decided it was time to shift back into their human forms and try to get some sleep. Kyrie was so exhausted that she fell asleep immediately. Chase lay there staring at his beautiful mate, so glad that he had finally found her. He pulled her against him and fell asleep, lulled by her chocolate and caramel scent.

Fenrir and Selene

“As much as I hate dealing with you, we did good work together here. She will be exactly what is needed to win the upcoming war,” Selene, the moon goddess, told Fenrir.

“You can’t possibly hate me more than I hate the lot of you,” Fenrir growled, “But you are right. The rogue king will be hard pressed to win a battle against an army led by the two of them.”

“It’s a shame that the rogue king has convinced so many, including Alpha’s of legitimate packs, to go against the Royal Family,” Selene murmured.

“Well, we’ve done all we can do,” Fenrir replied, “But I’m going home before I tear one of these idiots to shreds.”

“Go then. I’ll contact you if anything else needs to be done,” Selene said with a wave of her hand.

“I wasn’t asking,” he grumbled. He waved his hand and disappeared, headed back to his realm.

Selene spent a few moments watching the pair sleeping, looking at them in her pond that she used to watch her werewolves. She typically only involved herself in their affairs when she needed to, and also of course to create mate bonds. Selene decided that her next order of business would be to come up with a mate for Fenrir, maybe he would stop being so angry and nasty to everyone. Of course, it would be up to him what to do with that mate bond once she chose a mate for him.

Selene, as she watched the pair, and looked into their future realized that they had a few interesting twists and turns coming up. However they were both brave and strong, more than capable of handling the challenges ahead. She decided to add a special blessing on Chase and Robicheaux, to make sure that they were prepared.
