Lost hope

WELCOME TO THE UNKNOWN

Faith brought out some sweet tea, and Macie grabbed a case of beer for the guys. After everything was cooked, we all sat around the fire pit. Cyprus trees swaying around. The air was warm. For once, the mosquitos were being nice. Everyone was deep in thought from the revaltions artameis, and star let be known. The only sound right now was the fire popping and crackling. Off in the distance, the bull frogs were singing their song, with the crickets. Occasional gator can be heard sliding into the water. Everyone was snuggling up to their partner, enjoying peace for right now.

Tomorrow will bring a lot of unknowns. Right now, this is great. Artameis broke the compfrontable silence. "Niko, I really appreciate you feeding us, taking a chance, and helping us. We will forever be in your debt. Don't worry about it, brother. Right now, we are family. I only ask for help for the expansion. You're more than welcome to stay and make roots. Lord knows we have plenty of land. Y'all can bulid and design your own homes. I will discuss this tomorrow whenever they arrive." This time, star talks. "Niko, are there any stores around? I really need to get clothes and get some essentials. Yea, the girls were going into town anyway. Storm has blood lust for two shifters that attacked her yesterday. "

Immediately, the night was filled with growls. "Skylar, mase? yea, man? Do y'all mind staying back tomorrow just in case some show up early? both rub back of their necks. "Niko, you really think that will be a good idea?" Skylar asks. Well, we need to adjust regardless. Mase you need to be a beta and show everyone the man we know you are. If not, then make your way through each person till you find you had enough. This time, we need to be supportive and have each other's back not against it.

He nodded in agreement. well, since that's settled. As far as the two shifters, one was hyde, the other was a shapeshifter. So keep your eyes peeled he can take the form of any of us. Faith knows what they look like, the hyde you can't miss the smell. If we see them, do what's necessary. For right now, I'm gonna head upstairs and get ready for bed. Goodnight to all of y'all. See you in the morning. Faith walked up and grabbed niko hand. Once they got into their room, she turned around and hugged him, looking into his eyes. You made me proud today, Wolfie.

Instantly, Thor makes himself known and puffs his chest out like a rooster. How so little one? You put yourself last and saw the future. I know you weren't thrilled with them. Honestly, I thought i was the only one. I need to drop my scent blocker.. The others are just mind-blowing. I'm really excited to meet them. With that, he growls at. Calm down, my little cookie. You're the only one for me. It's really cool to have another mama to be around. Our kids can grow up and be friends. The future will be bright. Obviously, we gotta fight this Strom, but I see it now. So thank you. No need, little one, and what did say little one about comparing me to a dessert. Next thing I know, I'm being tossed on the bed with him covering me in kisses.

Next time (kiss), you call me a (kiss) cookie (kiss). I'll remind you why I'm a (kiss) alpha wolf! Looking into his purple eyes, I stare directly in them. Taking a deep breath, i yell, MY LITTLE OREO COOKIE!!! That's it, little one. He grabs my sides and starts tickling me. Oh my goodness, NIKO! trying to catch my breath and tap his back, I give! not uh little one. You're gonna see why I'm an alpha! with a growl, he takes my clothing off in one go. Laying there with his hand holding both of mine, waiting for my laughter to die. he wipes the tears and starts kissing me passionately. You maybe Alpha my love, But I AM ROYAL. So now it's time to show you. I let Storm come forward. Her black obsidian eyes meet his purple. RUbbing my hairstyle down his back, I lean forward and mark him finally. Immediately, I get his in return.

His hands go down my sides and start rubbing my core. I use my hand and remove him from his boxers. With that, the race was on. Half the night when on with our bodies moving in perfect sync.

The next morning, I get up and do my business. I feel the bed and notice niko is gone. I walk over to the closet, grab a pair of shorts, and tank top wrap my hair in bun. Walking into the bathroom, splashing water on my face, doing my business, and heading downstairs. I see star looking up through her mug with a nod. I nod back, grab a cup, and sit next to her as well. "Not a morning person till you have caffeine, either I say chuckling. Oh, you have no idea this is heaven in a sip. Boys went hunting. Something about habeing a fest. In all honesty, I was half listening. I needed a lifeline. You and me both girl you and me both. So, cookie, huh? I spit out my coffee. You just made me commit a crime! I shreaked through heated cheeks. Wait a second, you're a lycan, too. Yea Strom masks my scent. I felt her drop everything. Star falls out of the chair neck bent. What the hell I yell? Are u ok? You're a royal, I'm sorry your aurora caught me off guard. Anyways, she says, getting up like nothing happened."

"Please tell me, but what's with that? Star asked. Well, when niko shifts to Thor. His coat is really pretty it's like salt and pepper or marble. I mess with him and tell him he looks like a crushed up oreo, or like those cookies and cream Hershey bars. Hense the name cookie. At this point, the star is doubling over laughing. Are you serious?! she takes a deep breath and says I have one better for ya. I lean close like she's gonna tell me the most secretive secret. Artameis, his wolf name is zues, but here's the best part his right buttcheek has a micky mouse shape on it. Now it's my turn to double over laughing.

That's great! imagine seeing him mad and then turning around, and you see mickey staring at you like hello friends. What does your wolf look like? I asked Star well, her name is persaphone. She is the color of a plum. She sounds really pretty. My wolf name is Storm. She's fire red, with black ears. Thor can be a little Fiesty. I heard him and niko bickering. Wait, what? yea, it's one of the many gifts we have. We can hear other wolves talk when they're not in wolf form. That's so cool. Hey, star? yea hun? when they get back, can I mess with artameis about his mouse? Of course! "Of course, what? artameis asked as they walked in the door.

Niko is behind him with two hogs hanging on his shoulders. All of sudden, everyone in the house dropped to their knees with bent neck. Thor comes forward, uh, little one u need to lock that again. They can't handle it. Oh." Star was just feeling me in what your wolf or lycan looks like. He narrows his eyes at her. You did not tell her he growls. Hey, I was bound to see him. So, how does a mighty lycan end up with a mouse on his right cheek? Artameis gray eyes turn black as obsidian. With a deep batman almost sounding voice, he responds. I have you know it is a manly mouse. Whatever you say, big guy, hopefully the lions don't attack your ass when they see you shift! Niko walks back in with me and star, laughing like mad women. What in the hell is going on? Why does it sound like a hen house? Artemis? or zues? what happened. The female was making fun of me. Telling me a lion was going to attack my ass!

It was niko turn to laugh. Why would they want to attack your ass? with a deep breath, I shout, laughing, saying he has a mouse on his right ass cheek! Again, all 3 of us start laughing at his expense. Till star says it's ok babe, Thor here looks like cookies and cream. Hense, why we heard her yell, Cookie! Now, both guys were sulking. I'm not a cookie little one. How about we get our things and meet them in the truck before they shift in the house. Star locks her arms through mine, and we walk out to the truck, laughing together, letting the future mess stay in the back of our minds for now, and my sinking gut feeling I have about town today.
