Feral

Chapter 17

***Aiyana's family in human form***

        "Our decision is..." He paused for a moment, leaving us in utter torment as we waited for the answer. "That its okay for them to join as long as they agree to the terms Quin pointed out. We've noticed how the pack gotten along with Audrey last night and I think it is wise for it to happen."
My heart swelled with love and excitement as I charged forward to plant a kiss on Caelan's lips, never mind that I knocked over all his papers and files. His body tensed up from the sudden shock but loosened as he deepened he kiss. Tears of happiness traced down my cheeks as I gave him a hug.
"Thank you." I cried. "Thank you guys so much." I sniffed and wiped away my tears.
"You're welcome." Caelan pulled me into his lap and hugged me more. We felt like we were alone for hours before Alaster's throat clearing casted us from our world. Blushing, I pulled away from Caelan and looked at Alaster.
"So whatcha got there?" Alaster pointed to my sketchbook that flew into Quin's arms earlier from my random charge attack.
"They are sketches of some of the pack members. I'm helping to create a book with all werewolves in it, so they could have help finding their mate. The Elders said it was okay."
"Can I take a look?" Caelan and the others asked. Audrey was the only one who has seen my recent work. Quin gently handed me my sketchbook and I flipped open to little Penny's page. Their eyes almost popped out of their heads just from shock.
"This is beautiful." Caelan said as he scanned the information and then flipped to the next page. "Well I see you already found a matching pair."
"Yeah but I didn't tell them though. It would ruin the surprise." I blushed.
"Our little match maker." Alaster joked. Travis chuckled at that. Caelan then moved onto the next page.
"I see that you got the Kingsly brothers to pose for you. I'm surprised that they even stayed still long enough." Travis snickered. His hazel eyes showed his humor. Sometimes I wish he would hide some of those emotions behind his brown hair.
"I guess it's one of the benefits of being me."
"I'd say so." Alaster took a closer look at the pictures and birthmarks, then to the age information. "You know we would have to change this information every five years."
"Nope. I casted a spell so that the information and pictures would change along with the person, whether it be permanent or not."
"Well someone was prepared." Travis nodded approvingly. I smiled as I stared down at my pictures.
"Now I just need sheet protectors and a book to hold these pictures in. Probably need another sketchbook too."
"I'll get them for you after I'm done with my Alpha duties. In the mean time, go visit your family and discuss about what we planned."
****
We walked over to the edge of the forest and started to strip down. Audrey squealed with joy when she saw all my marks.
"Oooo, what's that one?" She pointed to the one on my lower back.
"That's the marking from Kano. Ain't it cool looking?"
"Hellz ya. What about the one on your stomach?"
"That one is from Niru."
"Collar bone?"
"Gold necklace from Gwyn and the sapphire from Kawaii."
"You neck?"
"Caelan."
"It's so pretty."
"Thank you." I looked over to her shoulder and saw that her mark was a fancy looking sun. "Your mark is awesome too."
"Thank you." She blushed as she handed me her light blue dress. "Sorry about this sis. I still don't how to do these clothes things."
"That's okay." I chuckled and neatly placed our clothes underneath a bush.
"So how do I turn into a wolf?" Audrey asked innocently.
"Imagine your wolf form. But since it's your first shift back, it might hurt so I'm going to be with you every step of the way. And relax once you get your first shift done with it will be like a breeze."
"I wondered why it hurt when I suddenly shifted into a human."
"You didn't tell me that?!" I glared at her.
"Well you didn't ask!" She smiled at me. Well she got me there. Then she turned serious for a moment and everything went quiet. Soon enough her body was shifting back into a wolf, it was nice seeing her black wolf before me. Once she was done, I shifted next to her and gave her ear a lick for comfort.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"Surprisingly yes. It felt like a pinch at that."
"You have some high pain tolerance." I muttered as we walked out from behind the trees. Quin was already waiting in his russet wolf. "You ready?"
"Yes." Quin stated as he scratched his ear.
"Alright let's..."
"Now where is my little mate going?" Seth's voice came out of no where. I looked up and found him nestled in a tree, staring down at me. I motioned towards my old pack, hoping he would get the hint.
"Going to visit your family eh?" He smirked. I simply nodded but I feared he had something up his sleeve.
"Well I've already met your grandparents and sister. Might as well meet the rest of the gang." He smiled with his fangs out. Audrey looked at him with awe.
"What's that?" She asked while jumping up and down. I looked to her, then back to Seth and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Those are fangs Audrey." I snickered. "He's a vampire."
"Do you have a vampire heritage?" She asked with sparkles in her eyes.
"Yes."
"I want to see." She chanted over and over again while bouncing up and down.
"Gods your a pain. I'll be right back." I smirked, shaking my head. I headed back towards our clothes and found at least a decent size of shorts. Nodding my approval I shifted back and straddled into the shorts. Okay Donny! Show time.
Finally!! He squealed like a fan girl.
Don't do that again. I said horrified.
I closed my eyes and pictured Donohue. I could feel my body reshaping. Some parts disappeared and others reappeared differently. Once I knew I was fully Donohue, I opened my eyes. Immediately I regretted it. The sun was so frickin bright. I hissed as I readjusted my eyes. I forgot that Donny has advanced eyesight and I forgot I how to dim them. I really needed to spend more time in his form. Cracking my neck I came out from behind the tree. Audrey and Quin looked up, growling at me.
"Hoy! You said you wanted to see, now no growling." I hissed back. I crossed my arms over my muscular chest. "Gods I'm going to become a narcissist." I mumbled to myself. Audrey tilted her head to the side.
"So is that really you?" Audrey asked.
"Not too many know how to speak wolf. Of course it's me." I was getting a little annoyed.
"But your a man now!"
"Not all my heritages are female. My vampire, demon and angel are male." I stated.
"Oh." She snickered.
"What's funny?"
"Your voice sounds weird!"
"Well of course. I'm male now." I face palmed myself. Suddenly I was staring face to face with Seth, who was miraculously standing upside down on a tree branch. We can defy gravity?!
   Of course. Every vampire can.
  Well a heads up would be nice.
  Don't you mean heads down. Donny snickered.
Ugh. I sighed. "Hi Seth."
"So you're the miraculous Donny?" Seth smiled. "Cool."
"We've met once before." I felt Donny blush in my, well his skin.
"Really?" He thought about it. He sat down on the bottom of the branch and actually thought about it.
"You look like the thinker." Donohue chuckled.
"Oh, I remember." Seth fisted his palm on his hand. "You were there when Cleo came over to go clubbing."
"Yes."
Quin cleared his throat, catching everyone's attention. "Yana don't forget why we are out here." He smiled.
"Oh yeah." My turn with the fist thing. "Well I'm going to visit everyone, you can come if you like. Oh shit! We need clothes for them." I mumbled the last two parts to myself. I walked back to my changing area and gently placed the shorts by my other clothes. I shifted back to my regular form and mind linked Caelan.
Cae?
Yes Ai.
      What if they do decide to come? What do we do for clothes and shelter?
        Don't worry I'm making arrangements as we speak.
      Okay thank you. Talk to you later.
     Talk to you later. He then cut off his end. I shifted back into my wolf and came running back. Seth was waiting with Quin and Audrey, who happened to be nuzzling each other. Seth was looking away but a blush was on his face. So much for my big tough guy.
We all walked towards Sai's pack. My fur was prickling all over from my nervousness. I was so caught up in thinking I didn't even realize that Ru and Shyla crashed into me until I found them on top of me.
"Got ya." Shyla smiled and wagged her tail. Ru shyly smiled before he slid off of me.
"Wow, who knew you guys would catch me by surprise." I smiled back while playfully slapped their noses. They both laughed until their attentions got caught by Seth, who walked up behind me. They pounced behind me, growling at the poor guy. Seth looked at me with confusion with a 'what am I supposed to do with this?' kind of face. "Guys he's a friend. In fact he's my mate." They stopped growling at him and stared at me with 'are you serious' look. "I'm sorry guys. I forgot to tell the rest of the pack that I have six mates. Quiet a handful if you ask me."
"Why do I have the feeling that I got insulted?" Seth stared at me, making me blush. Thank gods he couldn't see it because of my fur. "Ah," He patted my head "I don't care."
"Guys, I have terrific news for everyone. Let's head back quickly so I can tell you all."
****
By the time we got there, I saw them sunbathing, mock battling or talking. It was a lazy day I took it as any way. Sai and Lyell were in deep conversation. Mom noticed me but I made a no sound sign. She smiled and pretended not to notice. I got low as I could to the ground and crept over to them. Mentally I was counting down until I got to one and then pounced on them.
"So serious!" I said mockingly when they looked up at their attacker. Sai smiled and shook his head as he gently pushed me off. I rubbed my head against my brothers, then put my ass in the air and looked up at them. "Let's play."
"I wish we could but we were serious about something when you pounced on us." Sai smirked.
I sat down with a huff and stuck my tongue out at them. "You guys are no fun any more." Then I became serious. "So what were you guys talking about?"
"About our defenses. I smelt other wolves earlier and they weren't from your pack." Sai stated.
"They were from the Luna ball last night. Don't need to worry. If I knew you were in danger, I would of sent warriors out to help."
"That's sweet but we need to fight on our own. Though we don't know how to fight shifters." Sai placed a paw on my head.
"I have a preposition for you guys. What if we found a way for you to become half-shifters?"
"You mean like human?" Lyell's turn to ask.
"Sort of. You'll still be able to change back into a wolf. You'll be able to stay with us. We have plenty enough food for everyone. You could train with us so you know how to protect yourselves. We would be able to protect the pups. The options are endless."
"Aiyana what are you proposing?" Sai said bluntly.
"Become a half-shifter and come with us. I want everyone to be safe. I can't handle another attack like Alpha Aldris." Tears escaped my eyes. "I want to help my pack. Old or not. I can't see my family die. I already got permission from Caelan for you to join."
"Even if it was possible to become shifters, there will be two Alphas and you know how that goes." Sai sadly smiled.
"But it is possible. Audrey's one now. And we came up with a plan. If you decide to join us, you have full control of the half-shifters but you would have to listen to Caelan at the times of war. He wants to protect everyone in the pack but he needs your cooperation."
"Me follow him?" Sai scoffed.
"Did you say Audrey is one of them?" Lyell asked. I nodded.
"She has the speed and strength of a shifter. And a body as a human." I stated as I motioned Audrey over. "And if you decide on not becoming half-shifters, she might end up coming with me because I don't know how you will treat her. I was labeled as an Omega because I was different."
"We..." Sai started to protest.
"Even if it was different for me, what makes you think that she'll be safe once I leave and show you what she is? Do you have your word that nothing will happen to her?"
"I can't say." Sai looked to the ground defeated.
"I can offer you a lot. Like I said earlier, you HAVE control of your pack now but when it comes to war, you have to work together. I'll have Audrey show you and I'll let you decide. And if you never want to see me again, I'll leave and never return." I held back some of my tears. I truly didn't want them to decide never to see me again but I would respect their decision. I know I am being selfish by putting this upon them but I can't let them die out here because of werewolves. "Audrey would you mind shifting to your human form?"
"How do I do that?"
"Imagine your human just like you did with your wolf." I slowly instructed. Audrey nodded and took a deep breath. Familiar pops and cracks rang throughout the whole area, catching everyone's attention. Once she finished, she sat down on her legs next to me. Her tail covering her front while her ears were alert. I looked back to Sai. "This is Audrey. She has become a half-shifter and so far everyone in the pack loves her even though she has ears and tail. I want you to think about it and discuss it with everyone. I will wait with Audrey and Quin while you guys go have a meeting."
Sai nodded and nudged Lyell to get him up. They glanced at Audrey once before moving over to the wolves, then a little further away from our hearing distances. I took a relieved sigh as I finally got that off my chest.
"I think that went great." Audrey placed her hand on my head, gently stroking my fur. After that, Quin went on her lap and covered her while Seth came over and sat down next to me. I placed my chin on his lap as he petted me in gentle strokes. I snuggled up closer to him, inhaling his scent that consisted of cucumbers and melon but had a hint of blood on him. He must had a recent feeding in the city again. I hope that's all he did. But if he did anything I would of smelled a different scent in certain areas and my nose wasn't to far from one of them, let alone my teeth. He leaned down and laid his head onto my back, creepily inhaling my scent. He nuzzled his face within my fur.
"You are so soft." He mumbled in my fur. I rubbed my tail across his arm as a thank you. Suddenly he started to scratch everywhere, I didn't mind until he got to my sides by my stomach. When he reached that mark, I started to kick subconsciously. My head shot up and looked down at what my body was doing on it's own. I also noticed my fur was turning black but with white tips. Donohue was taking over a bit. Probably excited that his mate is touching him. "You're ticklish aren't you?" His grin got wider as his head shot up.
Oh no! I thought before he went into a tickle frenzy. My leg was going so fast I was surprised there was even ground left from all the scraping or even a tornado from all the flapping. Finally the wolves came back with Sai and Lyell leading the way. Seth stopped touching me, making me mentally whimper, and watched as my brothers walked right up to me. I got off of Seth's lap and sat in front of them.
"So have you reached a decision? If you say yes, I promise everything I said. If you say no, I'll never come back and pester you again." I said seriously, sitting up tall and proud.
"We have reached a decision though some of them didn't agree at first. We humble accept your offer if your pack will have us." Sai bowed his head to me as if he was pleading even though I was the one who purposed. My tail waged furiously as I nodded my head like crazy.
"Of course we would love to have you. And can I say..." Tears flowed down my face "about how happy I am that you guys said yes. Now we can all be together and who knows, you might even find your mates there."
"That would be cool." Lyell nudged Sai, who smiled happily.
"So how does this half shifter thing work?" Sai asked.
"An Alpha of my species needs to bite you. It might hurt for a few moments but it will heal quickly, I promise."
"Where are we going to find an Alpha?"
"Sai you dumbass. Quin is an Alpha."
"Oh."
"So how long did it take for you to transform?" I questioned Audrey.
"About an hour after he marked me." She said bluntly as she scratched her ear.
"Okay." I turned to Sai. "We'll have clothes prepared by the time we reach back to the pack and they are making another pack building for you guys. Once we get there, if there is any thing you need don't hesitate to talk to me, Quin, Cleo, Sage, Alaster and Caelan. We'd be happy to help."
"Thanks Aiyana."
"No problem but you might have to learn English if you didn't already."
"I understand it now but doesn't mean I will once we transform." Lyell stated.
"Understood. I'll teach ya if need be." I smiled.
****
One by one Quin bit them in the shoulder. I stayed by everyone's side as each went through their shift. The first ones to transform were my brothers. I didn't want to say it but they were fricken hot. Sai had slick black hair with a bristle beard and mustache and the softest blue eyes. Lyell had raven black hair with gentle green eyes. Both of them had awesome bodies. As I looked them over, they had birthmarks on different sides of their hips. Sai had what looked like a curvy heart and Lyell had an upside down crescent moon with a tear drop falling from the middle of it. Thinking about it, I think I saw something on Audrey's shoulder. Trotting over to Audrey, I looked at the back of her right shoulder and found what looked like the maple leaf.
"Quin do you have a maple leaf on your right shoulder?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Yes why?"
"Well I found a birthmark on Audrey and it's a maple leaf." I pointed to the leaf with my snout, making her shiver from the coldness of it. He glanced over her shoulder and his eyes went wider.
"Well I be damned." Quin smirked as he continued to stare at it.
"Well this means I can put half shifters into the book too."
"Book?" Sai tilted his human head to the side. He needed to try to stop doing wolfish habits.
"It's a book to help Werewolves find their mates. I simply draw a picture of their face and birthmark, then write a little description about them and what pack you're from." I explained.
"That's awesome." Sai smiled. I wasn't going to be used to this, well not for a while. It's hard to see him in human form but at least the ears and tail helped me.
"But once we reach the pack, you all have to let me draw you and your mark. The sooner we find your mate the better." I said with a smile as I helped him learn how to walk. I had to change back to my human form to teach everyone how to walk. Seth didn't like the idea of me naked in front of everybody so he gave me his shirt to wear. After a couple more hours, everyone was shifted and was up and walking. I described everything for everyone and I taught them some of the pack rules. "And I will have Quin teach you anything you need to know."
"Now let's go to your new home. I'll have Caelan prepare the cafeteria for your arrival so can eat, drink and be merry. But first let's get you some clothes."
"Clothes?"
"Oh boy."
****
"Thank you for helping Cleo, Sage." I smiled as I helped Audrey into some new clothes.
"It's no problem." They said in unison as they helped some of the other girls get ready.
"Hold still." I heard Seth and Alaster say to my brothers as they tried to kick off their clothes. Since Audrey was finished, I walked over to my brothers who were persistent than anything.
"Now what's going on?" I asked. My brothers knew they got caught so they tried to look away innocently.
"These two won't sit still for us to help them into their clothes." Alaster poked at Lyell's chest.
"I think they aren't used to their new bodies so give them some space." I waved them back from my brothers. Lyell came over to me and hid behind me.
"Yana?! Do we really have to wear these things?" Lyell begged.
"Yes. If we do find you a mate and it happens to be werewolf, they are very possessive of their mates, body and all." I sighed. "If you want, I can help you into your clothes if it makes you comfortable. I know some strangers helping you is no walk in the park." Sai and Lyell nodded furiously. "Seth, Al can you go help my father and I'll deal with these two?"
"Are you sure?" Alaster asked.
"Yes. I'll help these knuckleheads. They aren't fond of strangers just yet." I looked to my father. "And you might want to make it quick, my father is putting pants on his head."
Alaster turned his attention onto my father and immediately rushed over to correct him. Seth looked a little skeptical but did what I asked.
"Now are you guys going to behave so I can get you dressed and then fed?" They nodded. "Good!"
Since Sage already got the measurements for everyone, they all had the appropriate sizes. I grabbed their boxers and handed it to them. They turned it to every angle before putting it on top of their heads. I face palmed myself and grabbed it from them. I showed them that the hole had to face the front so when they had to go, they had access to it. A blush of embarrassment came from all three of us. I mean I had to consult my brothers about their new bodies. Thank god the doctor or another male in the pack will teach them about their privates cuz I didn't want to give them the sex talk or why their body changed. Helping them into their boxers, they looked more decent than they were naked.
I slowly helped them with their jeans, making sure not to get anything caught in with the zipper and to make sure they were paying attention to this. Next I placed some deodorant on their pits before placing their shirts on them. Thankfully nothing got on the shirts but I couldn't say that when they started to eat. I helped them with their socks and then with their boots. Once done, they both looked like a punk rocker. I thought for a few moments before I ran over to the jewelry section. I picked out two chokers with wolfs on them. Coming back, I gently placed them around their necks. Looking at my work, they looked like tapping material. What female wouldn't want to.
When everyone was finished dressing, we all went to the cafeteria. Caelan and Travis was waiting in front for us. I smiled and ran up to him.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well I had to come and see our new members. Don't worry I reserved the cafeteria for them until they want to start meeting the pack. I want them comfortable before anything big happens. But I do have something in mind." He waved Travis over, who happily obliged and I noticed a camera around his neck.
"What's the camera for?"
"So I can register these guys as a new pack under my care."
"Oh okay. So you want me to group them together to take a pack photo?"
"Yes please if you don't mind." Travis smiled sweetly.
"It would be my honor." I nodded and went back to everyone to explain the situation. They happily agreed with it. Once we placed everyone in order, Travis happily took the picture. Of course we had to do it a couple of times because someone would blink. When we were done with that, we were about to break when Caelan wanted the Alpha and Beta family to stay together. He told us that they needed to put it in the records. So I was in the middle while Audrey stood behind me. Sai was at my left and Lyell was at my right. Lastly Mom and Dad took their places beside each of their sons. Travis gave us a count down and we all smiled as the flash went off.
Now free of all the flashes, Caelan open the doors and they all happily ran inside. Alaster and the others helped everyone with their plates and how to handle everything while I stood back and what everyone enjoy themselves. Caelan stood beside me with a big smile on his face.
"You've done well."
"I couldn't have done it without you." I admitted.
"Well I am glad you came up with this idea. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves." He smiled down at me. He then grasped my hands and placed something in them. I looked down to find my sketchbook and my other art supplies to start these book pages. He also got the binder and paper protectors I asked for. He was so awesome.
"Thank you Caelan."
"No problem. Now I better go help Alaster, he looks like he's going to be their lunch." He gently patted my head and then kissed my cheek before he ran over to Alaster. Alaster looked relieved when Caelan took some plates from him. Suddenly a pair of hands covered my eyes.
"Guess who?" A familiar voice rung in my ear.

**Wow how awesome is Caelan right now? He did something big for both of them. And it was cute on how Seth was with Aiyana. It was cool how Travis was taking everyone's picture. And it was also cute how they tried to put on clothes. Oh, and can you guess who the person trying to impress Aiyana is? Give it a try! Please comment your thoughts!
