Book 3: Updating

Chapter 3: Allies

Finn had bought me a few outfits of basic clothes to get me by while he was shopping. He was so thoughtful and I was so grateful. I started to feel much better under his care.

The next morning we went to the council meeting. The Alpha reported that everything I said was true, and that he wanted to discuss what he learned about the charter and put advancement towards an alliance to vote, because we are indeed kindred of spirit.

After some discussion they approved the beginning stages of negotiations to join the charter. They also approved clearance for Jesse to enter pack lands to take me home. They even approved a living quarters for a charter ambassador to live on pack grounds. They promised to invite their allies to come in three days time to hear directly from Alpha Jesse the proposal to join to the charter as well.

It was a productive morning in politics. We were quickly amassing support to resist the forces that sought to destroy us.

I called Jesse immediately after the meeting.

“Hey love what’s going on?” He answered cheerfully.

“Well you are feeling better.” I commented. “Anything I need to know?”

“Well, first of all my mate is not dead. Second, my family is all safe. Third, my mate called me and we had phone sex, and though it is not as good as real sex, most of the subordinates around this building thank you for your intervention, because it let off enough steam that I feel a little better.” Jesse explained.

I laughed.

“I did it! They voted to begin negotiations to join us in an alliance under the charter. They gave you clearance. They granted a living quarters for an ambassador to live on pack grounds, and in three days time, they will invite their allies to hear a presentation from you about joining the charter. It has been an amazing day.” I announced.

“And here I was glad I got up today a little less grouchy. You just made monumental progress and advanced the charter for the first time across species lines. You are the most amazing woman in the entire world and I want so badly to kiss you right now.” He gushed.

“Two more days. You have to stay one here to do the presentation.” I informed him.

“I will make the changes. I am so proud of you love. I can’t wait to have you in my arms again. How many Lycans are nearby?” He asked.

“Quite a few.” I replied.

“I will save my comments on places I want to ‘be in’ until I see you then. Lycan hearing and all.” Jesse teased.

Finn was walking a few feet away and broke out laughing.

“Good call.” I said blushing.

Jesse heard and laughed.

“I am just so happy right now. I can’t wait to see you.” Jesse paused and groaned. “Sorry love, duty calls. I will talk to you later. I love you.” He stated.

“I love you too.” I responded.

Jesse hung up.

Finn smiled. “I definitely like him. I can’t wait to meet him.”

“He will fit right in. He’s your size.” I grinned. “I miss him so much.” I commented sadly.

“I know what you mean, but the reunions after are so much sweeter. They say, ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ and it really does.” Finn explained.

“How long until your mate comes back?” I asked.

“Another week, and then we will have a similar reunion.” He smiled. “Are kinds are similar in love and war unless we let the excesses of our nature take over. That was why your special type of bond was created. Opposites attract and then often they attack, because they struggle to find unity, but when they do, they can do powerfully amazing things together. I think the charter us why Fang chose Jesse. He wanted to put his strength behind something good:  he chooses the driven and the measured to give him purpose and to reign himself in. Fang has always been a good wolf. I really respect him” Finn explained.

He continued, “And Samantha always chose those with unfaltering, wise judgement, because she is weak in that area, but strong in making powerful alliances, pack bonds, and mate bonds. She can make bonds, but struggles with breaking the toxic ones."

“She draws the right people to you naturally through the light in her eyes. That is also why evil people try to hurt her and kill her. The fancy bond given to you was for her tribe to have the protection of Fang’s tribe. The strong protect the weak so they can both thrive. The four souls in each mated pair become one.” Finn continued.

“That is beautiful, and humbling.” I replied, still thinking about what he said.

“Let me know when to expect your mate, and I will arrange transport. Maybe we can meet him at the airport.” Finn suggested.

“Alright. I will get the details.” We were passing the cottage. “Think I will take a nap.” I said heading in.

“Good idea. I am going to go for walk. Enjoy your nap.” He said.

“Enjoy your walk!” I smiled.

As I laid down Jesse called.

“Hey love.” I answered.

“Tell them, tell them now!” Jesse yelled. “They are under attack!”
