The Feral Mate

Chapter 64

Robin tagged along, her parents were ok with her coming, they did say for them to be supervised, Asha was lucky it was a Monday, as Brax does a big clean out on Sunday, he completely empty's the coops, hoses them down and puts clean bedding in.

“Ok Asha, your punishment is to feed and collect the eggs” “please, River, I can do the feeding bit, but please, not gathering the eggs, they peck me and it hurts so bad, I swear they sharpen their beaks just to peek me, especially Ruth over there, she defiantly hates me” “Ruth hates everyone except Brax, now, get in their chicken boy” I laughed, “don’t call me that”.

I laughed so hard at Asha; he screamed so loud when a chicken came close to hem or he got peeked at, 6 months ago, we only had 26 chickens, Huxley, being the kind Lycan that he is, he wanted to help the pack that was closet to us, so he upped the numbers of animals on the farm four times the amount, we have so many animal’s now, we had to get more Lycan’s to help out on the farm.

The other pack was struggling, to the point that they are going to die out if no one steps in and helps, one of their pack members came to us to see if they could have any scrap food that we didn’t want or need, he said he didn’t care if it was going off, so Huxley took on the responsibility of helping to feed them, there True Alpha was gravely ill and bed ridden, there pack only had 14 members, 9 of them were female, they had a pack rule that only the male Lycan’s work, they should provide for the females, with the True alpha being sick and his son only being 11, there is only 3 male Lycan’s to keep them all a float.

Once a month, Huxley and I go there with, milk, eggs, 5 chickens, plucked and gutted, with either a cow or pig, already butchered for them by Brax, to cook and freeze, it doesn’t cover the whole month but it covers at least two weeks of eating full meals, they also take the wool when the sheep get sheared, they can do what they like with his, they was told to keep the profits they get from it but they give us 10% of what they sell, they also make butter from the milk, so we give them a little extra so they can make some for us, the money they give Huxley, he puts it in a separate account so if they needed anything big that needs fixing and they can’t afford it, they have that as a back-up.

The True Alpha did ask Huxley to take over their pack, Huxley refused, not that didn’t want it, his son as really helping out the best he can at his young age, Huxley can tell that he really wants the pack when he is old enough.

They had semi deal, that if the True alpha dies before the son can take over, Huxley will run the pack until he is old enough to do so.

“Come on chicken boy, we don’t have all day, you still have five more coops to collect eggs from, you heard Huxley this morning, he wants omelettes for breakfast tomorrow, also its almost time to give the next pack their food” “I’m doing the best I can” “well your best is shit, work harder, you have a month of this” I laughed “a month? That’s too long” “that’s the deal that I made with Huxley, also, I’m with pup, I can’t go in there” “your lying” “maybe, just hurry up” I laughed again, I love watching him flinch and scream when Ruth gets close to him, so funny.

“Can I go and help him?” a small voice said next to me, I had already forgotten that she was sat next to me, she was so quiet, “you can, just let him do this one on his own first, then you can help him”.

It was finally lunch time, Asha did the first one alone, Asha and Robin did two, I did one alone, then the three of us did the last one, Huxley brought us some lunch down, he wasn't happy that I was helping him in the coops.

We sat in silence at first, Huxley waited until I started eating, just like he did this morning, I don’t know who was more nervous, Asha or Robin.

“Ok, I think we need a chat, away from parents about what happened a few nights ago and what’s the plan going forward from here” the silence was killing me, I originally wanted to talk to them separately, but you know the saying, two birds with one stone.

“I can promise that it will never happen again” “how can you promise that? A rut is nothing like a heat, when an Omega goes into heat, us Alpha can smell it, yeah, not the first one, but the other’s we can, a rut can come on at any time without warning” “I know that, Robin and I will be mated but we have spoken about it, we won’t mate on her first heat, nor the second or third one, we will wait until we are ready, we both are really young, I know it sounds strange waiting, knowing that we will be mated in the end, but… That’s what we want” “Robin, is that what you want?” Huxley said, making her jump out of her skin, spilling her drink a little, “yes, it is” Asha helped Robin clean up the little mess as he said, “it was Robin’s idea in the first place but everything she said was how I was feeling, even if it wasn’t, I would change everything for her” “that’s good to hear, even though us Alpha’s should be strong, we are big softies when it comes to our Omega’s, anyway, hurry and eat up, the chickens won’t feed themselves” Huxley joked.
