Dayson frowned. “What’s the point of time passing differently if you will be busy?” He thought they came here for a vacation!
“Time is passing differently, but that doesn’t mean the world paused while we are relaxing here.”
Dayson opened one eye to look at her. “We should at least afford a lazy morning in bed. I mind-linked Keith and Liam earlier, so they won’t expect us for breakfast.”
“You thought of everything.”
“I only thought of you and how to sink my cock into my sweet pussy without making it too obvious how much I’m lusting after you.”
Talia’s laughter echoed in the cave, and she moved to lay on top of him. “No need for schemes, my love, because I want to feel you.”
Dayson hissed when he felt the sparks of their bond all over, especially on his cock that was getting coated in Talia’s juices as she was grinding on him. Damn! His mate was an Alpha with a libido to match it. And that was only for him.
“I will take back the lazy part, but we should stay in bed at least until lunchtime.”, he said cheekily, making Talia laugh more.
Dayson chuckled, and then he laughed with her, as her laughter was contagious, and it was the best sound he had ever heard. She was happy and that poured into him, and this was the vacation he was craving for, the two of them in a good mood, privacy, and clothes were optional.
…
~ The Shadow Fang pack ~
In the packhouse of the Shadow Fang pack, Dawn and Zina were chattering in the kitchen.
George went to train with warriors, so two girlfriends decided to spend those few hours together.
It’s not that George needed training, but he knew that Dawn was craving some girl-time with Zina and when he was around, Dawn didn’t leave his side while Zina was awkward, so he made himself scarce.
Maya and Jaeden were outside, dealing with pack matters, and the packhouse was unusually quiet after the last period of activity. It seemed like only Dawn and Zina were in that huge mansion.
Zina really missed Dawn, and she knew that Dawn will soon go to the Red Moon pack, and then Zina will miss her more, but Zina was also happy for her friend. Finding a mate was a monumental event for any werewolf, and Zina didn’t want to be sappy and spoil this for Dawn.
Zina had only one concern. “Make sure those bastards at the Red Moon pack don’t bully you.”
Dawn wanted to assure Zina that things will be alright, but the truth was that she didn’t know what to expect either.
George had a plan to take down Alpha Edward. It was a risky business, very risky. It could get them imprisoned or killed, definitely tortured, and Dawn did her best not to think about all the bad things that could happen. But even if George was successful, it will take weeks or months until it happens, and the idea of them living in fear until George makes his move was unsettling.
“You should come and visit”, Dawn said. “George said there are several guestrooms in his villa, and you can definitely use one.”
Zina made a face. “Who do you think you are talking to? I am now in charge of the kitchen so if any high-ranking pack member goes hungry it will be my fault. Do you think I can take a vacation anytime?”
Dawn realized that Zina was right. But… “James’ birthday celebration will be soon.”
Zina didn’t understand why Dawn brought that up. It’s not like Zina will be invited.
Seeing Zina’s confused expression, Dawn explained, “Dayson and Talia will definitely attend it, and maybe Maya and Jaeden also. Considering Alpha Edward’s reputation, he will make it a few days long event so that he can use it to connect and scheme with other packs. You can come and stay with me during that time.”
Zina bobbed her head excitedly. “If I can, I will be there.” She wanted to see Dawn’s new home and to make sure George treated her well.
Zina’s phone dinged with a notification and her eyes widened when she saw the message.
It was an official announcement from Meg about the new high-ranking member of the Midnight Guardians pack.
Normally, changes in the internal structure of a pack wouldn’t be publicized to outsiders unless it’s a change on the Alpha level, but considering the special relationship between the two packs, Talia approved for news about Sandy becoming a Gamma to be sent to Maya, Jaeden, and Zina (aka three people who were now in charge of the packhouse). If Talia was home, she would tell them.
“What is it?”, Dawn asked while scooting closer to see what got Zina’s attention.
“Sandy found her mate in the Midnight Guardians pack.”, Zina said breathily. “It’s Tyler, the Gamma of the Midnight Guardians pack, which makes Sandy a Gamma.”
“I knew it!”, Dawn exclaimed. “Malia strikes again!”
Zina looked at Dawn in disbelief. “You can’t be serious.”
“Oh, I am serious! I told you that you should go with them. Talia would find you a mate in no time. Keep on delaying this and you will miss the promotional period. Will you be able to afford it when Malia becomes world-famous?”
Zina shook her head helplessly. “There is no such thing as an ability to find mates, Dawn.” If there was, Zina would find hers in Shifters the other night. Zina was there, and Talia was there, and plenty of unmated guys were there, but not a single one clicked for Zina.
Zina felt like crying. At this rate, she will be alone forever! Nights were the hardest. Even when she found a guy to keep her company, the joy was not complete because Zina knew it was just temporary. She wanted someone to feed her and to give her endless orgasms, damn it!
“Don’t give up hopes, Zi.”, Dawn said. “Just stick to Talia and she will find you a mate.”
“You sound like Talia has a catalog and I just pick one.”
“Picking is mutual, but yes, it’s something like that.”, Dawn responded with all seriousness in the world. “Didn’t you see how many new mates found each other during the pack run? We never saw anything like it and I believe that it’s because we finally got our Luna.”
“I agree with that statement.”, a familiar female voice from the door got Dawn’s and Zina’s attention and they whipped their heads that way to confirm that they heard it right.
“STEPH!”, Dawn and Zina exclaimed in unison and then they rushed there to end up in a three-female hug.
Stephanie laughed. “It’s good to see you, girls. How are you doing? Did you miss me?”
Dawn and Zina were both nodding earnestly.
Zina tilted her head toward Dawn. “This one has her mate to keep her company, but I’m missing you like crazy.” Zina glanced behind Stephanie. “We heard you found your second chance mate. Did you already leave him at home?”
Stephanie couldn’t stop grinning. “Richard was interested in the garden, so he went to take a look.”
Stephanie looked around the kitchen. “I came here thinking that you will be busy cooking and baking, yet you are chatting like there is no work.”
“There is no work. Not much work, anyway.”, Zina responded.
Dawn explained, “Our Alpha and Luna went to the Midnight Guardians pack, and some of the guests went with them. Shaman Gideon and Mindy moved to their new home, so other than me and George, only Betas are still here. And for us, sandwiches are fine.”
“Oh, they are not here”, disappointment in Stephanie’s voice was obvious. She was hoping to introduce Richard to Dayson and Talia. Well, Richard knew Dayson, but this would be an introduction as Stephanie’s mate. “Do you know how long they will stay there?”
Zina shrugged. “A few days. Not long.”
Dawn was curious about one thing. “Did you hear from Lisa? How is she doing with her mate?”
Stephanie’s smile widened. “After Lisa told me she found her mate, I didn’t hear from her, but isn’t that expected? They are probably in solitude and if they are anything how Gil and I were, I won’t hear from her for weeks.”
All three women knew about Lisa causing trouble and how she couldn’t accept when Tony found his mate, and they also hoped that Lisa finding her mate was a good thing.
Finding a mate helps one see things differently, and Stephanie wished for Lisa to grow up and stop clinging to things that were never hers. Now Lisa had her mate, and she should be busy starting her new life.
Stephanie didn’t want to talk about bad things and spoil the mood.
“How are you girls doing?”, Stephanie asked and turned to Dawn. “When will you go to the Red Moon pack with your mate? We should plan a sendoff party.”
“A party?” Dawn really didn’t think of that. “Don’t make it sound like I’m going to a jungle never to return. It’s not so far away. You can visit anytime. We were just planning for Zina to visit me.”
Stephanie stifled a laugh. “You didn’t leave yet, and you are already making plans for guests.”
“Of course”, Dawn said confidently. “With future Alpha James’ birthday party coming, Dayson and Talia will definitely attend it, and Zina can tag along and be my guest.” She puffed her chest proudly. “As a Commander, George has his own villa there with guest bedrooms and everything.”
“Oh, that’s nice.”, Stephanie said, her big smile creating crinkles around her eyes.
Dawn nodded earnestly and turned to Zina. “I will plan for some mixers. What if you find your mate there? You can be my neighbor.”
Zina made a face. She loved the idea of being close to Dawn, but the Red Moon pack gave her heebie-jeebies. “If I need to go around and find a mate, I will stick to Talia and accompany her to the Blue River pack next week.”
