Dan and the Neko's

Chapter 26 - I name you Diamond

Paul names her Diamond

Paul and the former First Mistress was stopped by Mina once they were aboard the ship, "Paul, ***, come with me. I'm going to show you to a stateroom. I'm sure you need some privacy to talk and explain what mating means to wolves. I will have some food delivered from the pens and I will ensure it is the way you like it." She led them to the stateroom and opened the door. It was an officer's quarters though it wasn't large.

He thought about it and flipped a mental coin several times, "For the moment Mina but my room is in the pens. It is where my pack and family is. I will not hide what I'm from my mate or where we currently are living. It might not be like the rooms back at the pack house but it is where we are. Wolves don't hide things from their mates." He turned and led the woman into the rooms.

When the door shut he turned to her and pulled her close, "I'm a member of Tigger's pack. I'm a mid-dominance wolf and I'm comfortable with who and what I am. I earn a good living and have nice rooms but probably nothing like what you are used to." He wasn't going to make excuses.

She looked at him and shook her head, "That doesn't mean anything to me Paul." Damn it she was being drawn to him again. She could feel it in her loins and in how she leaned against him, "I'll admit I'm used to a certain amount of service. We are going to need to talk but what name might you want for me?"

Paul smiled down at her, "Well the Neko's who were visiting earth took on cat names. Cats are an animal on earth of which some have been domesticated. Not saying you are but your other form resembles them. I would like a name which fits you and is something you would be happy with." He gave her a slight smile, "Tigger named me The Sexy Beast."

The former First Mistress started to look offended and lightly punched him in the chest, "I'm not domesticated. I will bite you if you say that again." When he told her what Tigger had named him she started giggling, "That is ***, I mean Tigger. He is one of the most loved artists on our world. His works have made him a very well-off cat. As far as the name try me and we will see."

He had to sigh, "We know, he did a picture of Dan's first mate and goddess it was good. He had Dan crying as he was talking about Leah. The picture caught her perfectly. It has been so many years since our Alpha has been this happy. Sorry, had been this happy. When he mated with Nang and the others... Goddess we could feel just how much it meant to him. Dan was a wonderful Alpha but after Leah died all those years ago a part of him died as well. You need to know when wolves mate it's for life. Rarely does a wolf survive the loss of his or her mate. Dan did because he was a Beta wolf and had the pack to take care of."

That sounded so odd to her since her race didn't have anything like that, "When did she die? How long has he been dealing with her loss?" She had seen pictures of Dan as well as other humans and he didn't look that old.

Paul looked at the view port, "Leah died in the early 1870's. It was after our civil war. That was about a hundred and fifty years ago. He has been dealing with it for that long. He was a damn strong wolf not to follow her to the Goddess pack."

She jerked back and stared at him, "How old is he?" It was obvious she didn't quite believe him.

He looked at her and started laughing, "Hun I'm older than Dan is. I was born a lycan back in 1780 and I'm about 250 years old. How old are you?" He didn't have any idea how long they lived.

She almost glared at him since she had a feeling he was teasing her, "I'm 80 turns old. I don't know how our turns relate so I can't say much. What do you think my name should be for your world?" She was curious as to what he might say.
