TRAHERN (boyxboy)

Chapter Seven

After having settled the members of the Brechfa pack into their sleeping quarters, we all reconvened in the great meeting hall and the festivities are now well on their way. With the whole of our pack surrounding the few members of the Brechfa pack, we cut an intimidating picture. Right in the center and to mine and Magnus' great distress, Finis, Nachton and Carwyn are seated at a small table in the center of all of this activity just chatting away like three old friends.

Alpha Aeron and Luna Gwyn have a peaceful look on their faces. All of the members of the Brechfa pack look almost relieved to be here. This threat must have weighed heavily on all of them. Not just has the life of their purest of innocent souls been at risk but also my mates and now the wheels in my head are turning.

Suddenly I become aware of Finis' stare and I hear in my mind, I know what you are thinking and trust me, the same thought has crossed my mind. From this moment on I do not want Nachton left alone. Someone seems to be determined to snatch up or hurt wolves that are presenting as omegas and this I will not tolerate in the least.

I nod my head in agreement and look over at my future alpha who I am pretty sure heard this entire conversation as well. I will be damned before I let anyone ever come near my mate or any one like him just like Carwyn. I just don't understand why. Why target someone much weaker. But then I think to myself, Nachton and Finis are not weak by any stretch of that word. Could it be? I need to confirm, no I need to hear from Finis himself why omegas are being targeted. I have this insane theory running through my head and only he can confirm my suspicions.

After many hours of mingling and such, Magnus gets up and picks up his mate bridal style as he cuddles right up into his mate and proceeds to fall asleep. "I bid you all a good night and we will all have a breakfast and discuss in more detail what precisely is going on and begin to form a plan of action." And with that, he walks right out of the great hall and Goddess help anyone who gets in his way.

I get up and walk over to my very tired looking mate. With the arrival of so many new wolves, I find myself not having any issues with showing publicly just who my mate belongs to. I put my hand out palm up and with no hesitation Nachton bids Carwyn goodnight and places his small hand in mine and for the first time tonight I finally feel a bit of ease in what to me has otherwise been a tension filled day.

I place my hand on the small of his back and lead him to my room making sure that with the look on my face he understands that from here on out, he sleeps with me, in my room. My wolf will not tolerate being even an inch from his mate when I am awake and I cannot imagine that I would even be able to sleep if he is in another room.

I suddenly hear the giggles of my mate and look down at his beautiful face as he says, "What about my clothes?" "Oh I took care of that earlier!" and pretty much ended any further discussion on the subject by walking over to the adjoining bathroom.

I take a look at my reflection in the mirror and I start to see myself in a different light. I don't care if I am being overbearing, possessive, protective, and rude and any other attributes that are not welcomed. He is my mate and I don't know what is happening to me but I just don't give a fuck. I know the power that lies within me. I think that Fin may know as well.

I am not sure if Nachton can sense it but Goddess help anyone who comes between me and my true mate. I would die to protect him and he knows this. That is not the problem. The problem is how can I claim him. Having that first innocent yet very sensual experience with Nachton makes me want so much more and I have never desired anything as much as I want to place my mark on him.

This fear that grips my very soul at the thought of possibly losing control and hurting him is keeping me from my mate and I think that he and I cannot go on like this much further. I look into the mirror again and finally accept that it is time to talk to Finis, openly and freely. I need to purge my soul of all of my ugly past memories in order to replace them and fill it up with new ones of my mate.

I come out of the bathroom and am rendered speechless as the vision before me steels my breath completely. Nachton is laying right smack in the middle of my overly large bed wearing only one of my shirts which is way too big for him. He is turned on his side attached to my pillow like a monkey and the sight is endearing until my gaze falls on one of his exposed naked perfectly formed globes of his ass and then I have to concentrate deeply to keep my wolf at bay.

My trusting mate is completely knocked out and I will not break that trust by literally mauling him like and animal since I do not believe we are both ready for THAT as of yet. As I lay down and spoon my body right up against my mates, I hear in my mind, Soon Trahern, soon I shall help set you free!

With Fin's comforting words and the smell of my mate surrounding me, for the very first time in my entire life, I let go and fall deep into slumber.
