The Faes Mate

Reunited

POV - Aila

It had been a week in bed with Fenrir, a crazy amazing s*x filled week, and the hormones were starting to dissipate, it was time to focus, get to know each other more and find out some information about my people. I opened my mouth to talk but was interrupted by my stomach growling loudly. Fen laughed “Don’t worry baby I knew you’d be missing Azlans cooking I’ve already ordered” a smile played on my lips “so when will you show me your flaws?” Just as he was going to answer the most delicious smell other than him flooded my nostrils, Azlan was here, I hoped it was one of his experiments. So I called down “ Azlan this better be one of your creations darlin’ otherwise - not today Satan!” I heard a hearty laugh and I knew he was going to wait to see us. So I called again “I’ll be down in five, I need a quick shower, your Alpha is filthy” and I ran for the shower before Fen could catch me. I looked in a large cupboard and damn… when he said he was nesting he wasn’t kidding there must have been 100 types of womens shampoo in there amongst various other things so I grabbed the closest one and got to work washing my hair and body, jumping out the shower and dressing myself I bounded down stairs to be hit with “This whole place reeks of s*x” and Azlan just looked depressed “hey what’s wrong darlin’?” I asked “oh Luna, I’m sick of waiting for my mate when there’s someone amazing who’s not my mate but we can’t do anything about it…” I knew instantly he was talking about Skal the Suis chef, I saw the hidden glances. I patted Azlans shoulder. It’ll come I promise. Now today I have plans but, shopping tomorrow? His eyes lit up and he nodded padding out before Fenrir stormed down stairs. I fished up the breakfast and we ate in comfortable silence until I broke it “Hey Feb, any news from the warriors and scouts?” he asked me to wait a sec and his eyes glazed, then he looked at me hopefully, “they’ve found a Fae man, and a rogue she wolf that won’t leave his side but they’re not mated, they are heading back this way and will arrive by tonight with 2 warrior escorts as the others get back to the hunt” Aila threw her arms around me “THANK YOU!” She cried… then she told me she had plans with Azlan tomorrow to go shopping which… I wasn’t happy her going with another guy, but I was glad I didn’t have to go, so I just smiled and nodded. “Feb what’s your favourite colour?” “It’s black. What are you up to?” She smirked and said nothing.

POV - Skal

Azlan has been unusually quiet with me since the day he sucked me off, I know he wants more, I do too, but we can’t ruin what’s to come just for meaningless s*x, can we? He came bounding into the kitchen on better form this morning, rambling about shopping and Fae, it was nice to see him so excited. He went silent for a moment then exclaimed “They’ve found another Fae! The rumours were true about our new Luna and a war! She’s going to tell me all about it tomorrow while we shop! Omg I can’t wait I think I’m going to burst, I hope we will become besties.” I chuckled “you’re so gay, but I love you anyway” my nesting instincts had kicked in but I hadn’t told Az yet, I didn’t want him to feel left out, my damn wolf had made me buy hundreds of womens products and hundreds extra mens because he didn’t know what he was getting. “Skal” Azlan pretty much shouted “are you listening?” I just nodded and he continued “So the Lunas name is Aila and she says I can go with her to meet the new Fae boy if I want, do you think I should? I could bake him something as a welcome and kind of I’m sorry your life got flipped up. What do you think?” I sighed “yeah, sure Az, just don’t get yourself too hyped up, he might be an asshole remember” what if this Fae was Az’ mate and I was left mateless and Az-less… I started to worry, I didn’t want to lose Az. Should I just give myself to him? Before I could say another word he was bouncing over the other side of the room hunting for ingredients for a special Fae recipe he had asked Aila for. Well if I decided to… it wouldn’t be today that’s for sure.

POV - Unknown

These wolves that tracked us smell familiar but I’ve never met them, they smell… I don’t know homey, so I’m happy to follow them, for now. They came as a huge group but two stayed with us as the rest went back on a hunt, pity we got the two quiet ones, I’m chatty so I get bored of folks easily. I am a rogue, but I’ve found a companion in a small Fae that can’t have been more than 19, I found him lost and alone, traumatised by whatever had befallen him, so I curled my wolf around him and I nursed him back to health, since then he’s been my best friend. I can’t remember the name of the pack these wolves said we were visiting but they had another Fae which was amazing news, we hadn’t seen any other Fae for weeks. I could see my Seamus looking like he’d drop at any moment so I barked at the wolves to stop and demanded that one of them carry him the rest of the way, they assured me we’d be there within 5 more hours, and the excitement was killing us. The bigger wolf was grey with black markings on him almost like facial stripes I had nicknamed him Coon but don’t tell him! he picked up Seamus and put him on his back as if he weighed nothing at all. Some hours later I was singing to my self when one of the wolves spoke “we are on the tree line for our territory”

POV - Aila

I met Azlan, I promised I’d take him to meet the Fae, he was bouncing like a child who found out they were going to Disneyland, I wish I wasn’t so nervous so I could be excited as him. A shout rang out through the hall “They’re here!” And when the door swung open the hair that I seen was unmistakable, that was my childhood best friend Seamus, the mischievous funny one of our group. My arms spread and I practically threw myself at him and we both fell to our knees and sobbed together as my mate sat watching like a hawk to make sure I wasn’t touched any way he didn’t like. I asked him what happened on his end and he explained that he was one of the kidn*pped but he had managed to escape, tried to make it back for the war but was too late, our world was already Ash. After we caught up and I asked each question I had, I introduced Azlan to Seamus as I could see him eyeing him up secretly, and I always had a suspicion Seamus was bisexual. Azlan held out his hand to Seamus to shake.

POV - Azlan

I was too busy checking Seamus out to notice his outstretched hand, his green coloured hair and eyes I wondered if he was a wolf would he be green with wings since Aila was lilac. Despite being small due to being a Fae, Seamus was absolutely ripped his figure better than any body builder or wolf I’d ever seen. Finally I took his hand, and I looked up from his abs that we’re only covered by a tight shirt that showed everything, and our eyes met… my wolf pushed forward “MATE!” I screamed out. Mate? Was the world joking? Two Fae joining us in the space of a few weeks and both having wolven mates. Aila rolled her eyes… “it had to be my Fae bestie when I was trying to make you my wolf bestie, you guys better not steal each other from me” she said with a laugh, as she started to explain the mate process to Seamus, I couldn’t control my wolf anymore and allowed him to shift, so he went and sat at Seamus’ feet, nudging his hand for scratches.

POV - Seamus

I was feeling so emotional, I thought I was the last of the Fae after returning to our lands and seeing the c*****e that had unfolded there, the bodies strewn all over the place as if no one had cared enough to give them a proper burial, but here I was, looking in the face of my best friend, tears running down both of our faces. I had so many questions but I was overwhelmed, it seemed like I’d be staying here for the foreseeable, My besties man pretty much owned this whole town, so he’d already gotten a house ready for us, me and the rogue wolf that saved my life and we’ve been like our own little wolf pack ever since. I looked up as my bestie wanted to introduce me to her new friend, I had glanced at him a few times, he was absolutely beautiful, not as I imagined a werewolf to be, smaller, softer, but eyes and a smile that could definitely light up any room. I could tell he was incredibly muscular from the way his fashionable clothes hugged his body… yeah I could say I found him attractive. I found my self arm outstretched to shake his hand but as our eyes met, he instantaneously turned wolf barking out only one word “MATE” - rude… I didn’t even get a chance to shake his hand, now this wolf was nudging at me like I should… pet it I guess? I looked pleadingly to Aila “what the f**k is going on right now?” She looked at my sympathetically “I forgot to tell you.. Fenrir isn’t just my boyfriend I’m his mate; and he is mine - I’ll explain everything over dinner? Wait NO! How am I going to get my delicious meals? AZLAN YOU a*s!” She looked at the wolf who was rubbing his face against my thigh and he gruffed a sound that kind of sounded like a dry laugh, if wolves could laugh. “Aila… come on tell me what that’s about” she laughed “Oh Seamus, your mate is a world class chef, our pack chef and his food is literally to die for. Anyway let me link his sous chefs - what do you want to eat?”

POV - Skal

Az had gone with Aila to meet a Fae, and now I was being mind linked asking me if I could make a good ragu? Had Az found his mate? Why wasn’t he back? A jealous pang ached at my heart. If he found his mate we couldn’t be together any more… I had just decided I would give myself to him aswell. “DAMN IT!” I slammed my fist through the wall in the stock cupboard. My knuckles were bloodied and probably broken but I didn’t care I was a wolf they would heal quickly. I scrubbed my hands and got to work on the ragu, trying to push Az out of my mind. When the ragu was ready I brought it through to where Luna Aila had requested and as the door opened my eyes fell on Az in wolf form, not leaving the side of this pretty green haired guy, definitely a Fae. My heart dropped a little, I knew I should be happy for Az - his dream had come true. God I wished it could be me he fell for. I walked in, trying to hold back the tears on the verge of spilling from my eyes, affecting my vision slightly as my eyes stung. I placed the plates on the table. “Enjoy your meal” and stormed out of the room, I couldn’t look at them any longer, I had to get out of there before I caused a scene. As soon as I was out of the door my wolf took over, and just ran into the forest until he couldn’t run any more, curled up on the ground- I always felt so free in wolf form, so I allowed it to overtake my emotions and drifted off to sleep.
