Later that night Ben went to go shower. His behavior was fidgety since our arrival and we could not understand why. It was about Ten pm when Thom arrived with his friend Alex. Thom did not knock or ring the bell. Apparently, he and ALPHA RUBEN had been Wulf Speaking. Ruben flew to open the door for him and as planned, instead there was Thom's friend Alex. He walks in a little hesitant introducing himself "Hi everyone. I'm Alex. Thom said to look towards the balcony.?" There was a smile on ALEX'S face. We all look towards the balcony and there was Thom grinning with a bag held out to ALPHA "Merry Christmas everyone!" Luna, Beta, and Robert yelled racing to hug him screaming "THOM!!"
Thom, walking in from the back balcony door suddenly stops, deeply scenting the air. Taking in the strong scent being carried along the wafting breeze from both apartment doors now momentarily opened.
Standing stone stock still. His only movement seen as the bag holding the delicacies of Alpha's love seduction falls. Alpha Ruben jumped, caught and sets the bag down on the kitchen counter. Freeing the apt door to come with a slam, leaving Alex standing inside at the entrance to go to Thom. But now, I watch Alpha stare at TITI with a suddenly surprised expression and a smile as if realizing something Titi smiles back to him saying, "yes it's him".
Luna, Beta Randall, and Robert screamed "THOM" rushing over to hug him. Luna had Thom in a huge screaming "THOM !!THOM!! I HAVE SO MUUUCH TO TELL YOU!!" Like a high school student.
No sooner had Luna held Thom in his hug, when there was a crash coming from Carmen's apartment. Luna, suddenly with eyes glowing, flew to open the door with a below passing a completely forgotten about Alex "BEN!" his voice a roar of warning, a father's roar.
When he opened the door, there stood a 7 ft naked Ben who bellows "MATE!" his eyes on fire, glowing intensely deep amber brown.
Everyone remains stunned by what we heard. Everyone that is, except with for my aunt.
Titi walks quietly over with the towel she had purposely left hanging off her waistline since dinner. Now we understand why, as she takes it off her waist now attempting to wrap it around BEN as he is seen now barreling his way inside stopping long enough for her to finish. She smiles saying "Yes Ben your mate."eyes soften as Ben comes to a stop. Towering over an equally sweating, stunned, trembling like a leaf Thom and Kneels on one kneel now in front of Thom. His words gentle and filled with blissful peace "Hello Mate."
Thom's eyes match Bens, glowing amber, smiling, body shaking, hands clammy, eye begin tearing. He reaches out touches, then caresses Ben's face. Words come out, voiced just as shaken "My mate...It's... It's you...... your... your real?" Ben looking eye level at Thom saying, "Yes Mate." Closing his eyes as Thom's hand makes contact for the first time with his cheek. His deep baritone words repeat their soft gentle tone "I am."
From Thom's simple touch, Ben's face reveals peace and happiness traveling to radiate throughout his whole body. Ben wraps his huge muscular arms around Thom's waist now as he stands "you are my mate" Lifting Thom bodily into the air says, "You in my dreams too."
Everyone is stunned and confused. Except for TITI, she just smiles happily for them standing beside Rosa and don yonell. A trembling Ben pulls Thom into his embrace saying, "you smell like honey Blossoms and spring river water."
Thom's words flounder. Yet a short laugh thru tears nervously says, "and you like a bear." They kiss in front of all for the first time, forgetting the world around them. Their gesture, revealing a yearning to share hidden love. The kind that only comes when that one person you have desired your whole life, Finally arrives. Nothing more matters, for their long journey, has come to an end.
Titi speaks "Allow me to explain. On the night the Goddess gifted Ben making him full wulf. She spoke to me "I have held a special wulf for my special son. They have dreamed of each other for years. My Estrella, You will know who it is when Kodiak smells honey Blossoms. When they are together, place your hand on Kodiak's head after asking him my question. Then will I repair what the wers-Bear mystic did to him as a cub." I responded "Yes...Ochum" I knew who it was when Ruben was wulf speaking to Thom. Ben scented the air and began tensing during their conversation. Somehow, without a doubt, he could sense Thom."
