Dawn of Hope - Folician Chronicles 7

Chapter 3 - Welcome to the celebration of our new packs

When Hands woke up it was somewhat earlier than normal but he didn't mind. He had talked with both Misty, Kyth, and Dreamer the night before. All the various decorations were ready and as well as a number of small gifts as well. Even though Hunter and Morning were coming over they were going to decorate the Den. It wasn't a massive amount of decorations and was fairly generic but it was something they could keep developing. Back on Earth Christmas had come and gone but not by much, outside there was some snow and it was cold so it was about right. He stretched and yawned, *Gentle we are going to go to the Den and get started decorating. Please keep people away for the moment.* This was his present to both packs even if his pack knew about it.

Gentle had been expecting this and smiled, *That is what I had expected since if we don't do it now I don't know when it would happen. I will keep most of the others from the Den. Go and have fun. If you need anything let me know.* She let him go and smiled at Ray and Birdy. It had been an active evening for the two and Birdy was looking less stressed now.

Hands finally sat up and looked around the living room. Most of the girls were curled up close to the center as he had expected, *Wake up everyone. We are going to catch a quick breakfast and then decorate the Den. Gather the various presents and decorations. Gentle is going to keep everyone else away from there until it's lunch time.* He leaned over and gave Kyth a kiss. She had been so stressed last night and it had forced him to calm her down. He stroked her face and his face softened. She was normally a very strong and in-charge female, "Thank you for taking care of our pack Kyth. I can't even explain how much that means to me."

Kyth rolled over and stretched before opening her eyes and looking at Hands, "Thank you for last night. I really did need my Pack Father." She sat up and gave him a good hug and returned the kiss, "Now time for breakfast and I hope you like the decorations." They had worked closely with both Misty and Gentle to come up with a mixture of both cultures.

"I'm sure I will and now time for a quick shower and the bathroom." He stood and offered her a hand, "Would you like your hair washed and back scrubbed?" As he was talking the other girls were starting to wake up. When he mentioned a shower a number of the girls stood and grinned at him. That forced him to roll his eyes, "The showers aren't large enough for all of us. I will make sure to spend time with all of my pack."

When Ray finally woke up he couldn't help but smile. He was still missing Flitter but it had felt so good to start connecting with his pack again. He was spooning Birdy even as Gentle was spooning him. He had one hand resting on Birdy's stomach and he couldn't help but pull her somewhat closer to his body, *Morning Birdy and I enjoyed last night. I hope you did as well. We do need to get up and start working on food for when Hunter and Morning come over.* He knew Gentle would get that as well. Now that they were mated unless he had a good reason anything he sent via the implant went to her as well.

She sighed and rested her hand on his, *Thank you Ray. I know some of the other females need your attention as well but it hurt so badly.* She pressed her hand against his and finally slipped off the bed and stood up, "Most definitely time for a shower." She walked towards the bathroom as Ray rolled onto his back and stretched.

Gentle gave him a good kiss before she rolled over and sat up as well, "That was one of the best night's sleep I have had for some time." After one last stretch she eeped since Ray had sat up and stroked one breast, "Down boy, we have all the time in the world for that. I know you like my body and you don't have to prove it to me." She stood with an amused growl and headed towards the shower.

Ray grinned and then sighed. It really did feel good to be mostly back to normal and he was going to make a point of having different female of his pack in his bed each night. They might not have sex but he wanted to renew the connections. He also knew that Gerdal had been helping the pack as well and he also knew Dusty hadn't had a problem. They just didn't have the same type of jealousy as humans did.
