Karyn- The Caster aka Leslie's bestie!

Kellen and Les went to see Karyn about a spell that could help with their problem. To say the omega's friend was shocked would be an understatement. Nevertheless, she did what was asked. She had noticed that her friend would be in weakened states at times, but she thought it was early signs of pregnancy, not a straying mate.

The spell wasn't perfect, but it would stop the men from becoming weak if they slept with someone other than their mate.
They also would still know if the other did. She couldn't do anything about that connection. After all their wolves had already bonded.

"Now that's settled, I don't want you to worry about me, Les. You should get out there. Go to bar. Have some fun. If anybody deserves it, its you for putting up with my crap for two years."

"Kellen, I don't want to sleep with anybody else. The only reason I went to Karyn was because of you. I was tired of the headaches." The Luna explained.

"I told you I was happy with our current arrangement."

"Les, you promised you'd try. You're always taking care of me, and the pack. If you don't want to hook up with anyone, just go out and have some fun."

The Alpha did have a point. Sometimes he was so wrapped up in pack business, he forgot to eat during the day. He'd prepare the meals and move on to his next chore. Doing things for his mate and pack fulfilled the omega. He enjoyed taking care of everyone.

"Maybe Karyn and I will check out the new bar on 23rd later. I'm hearing they have a live band. That could be fun. Hey, you should come with us."

Kellen would have loved hang out with his omega, but felt that if he went with them, Leslie would feel obligated to entertain him rather than himself.

"Not this time, maybe we'll do something this weekend together, just us."

This made the omega happy. It almost felt like he was asking him out on a date.

"I'm going to hold you to that. I'm off to take some toys to the children. Want to go with me to the nursery? They would love to see you, and I could use a strong pair of arms to help me carry everything."

Kellen also loved to visit the cubs, and had not had a chance to visit in a few days. He loved kids as much as Les did. Maybe one day he and Les would have their own cubs to play with.  Plus, he needed to check in with Sam to make sure the rogues have been keeping their distance. The nursery was next to the infirmary. He also remembered he needed to warn Bryan. He didn't like the alpha, but the rogues could be closing in on their territory as well. The men did fight well together even though he felt Bryan was careless at times.

"Sure, just let me grab my keys. But afterwards, call Karyn.. go shopping or something. Just don't break the bank." The alpha chuckled.

"Then I'm going to visit Raven's to warn Bryan of the rogues and to come up with a plan in case we need to come together in battle."

Knowing that Kellen was off to Raven's made the omega a little uneasy. He knew that it was a possibility that his alpha would see Stacy. Les tried not to show how much it bothered him. He just did not like that she-wolf. He felt something was off with her.

********************************

After  returning from the nursery, Leslie called Karyn who was more than happy to go shopping with the omega. She couldn't get into the aspects of his and Kellen's relationship while the alpha was there so this was her chance to ask her friend some questions.  She was worried about Les and wanted to make certain that he was truly okay with the arrangement with Alpha Kellen. She respected the alpha, but if what he did hurt her friend, all bets are off.  When they stopped at the Food Court, she would ask him if he's really okay with the arrangement.

Les new that Karyn had questions. He knew that look. They had been shopping for hours but could tell his friend was dying to ask him questions about his relationship. But before they got into that, they enjoyed themselves shopping.

The first place they went to was the music store. Les had been eying an exact replica of Jimi Hendrix's guitar. He wanted it, but didn't want to indulge. So he stared at that guitar for 30 minutes before Karyn manage to drag him out of the store. She knew Les would never buy it. It was $5000.

"We might as well get this over with, Karyn. What do you want to know."  The omega sighed while they found a booth at Chick Fil A. With all the walking, the two worked up quiet the appetite.

"Well, since you brought it up. I just wanted to make sure you're okay."

Les exhaled. "I'm okay, Karyn. I'm not going to lie and say everything is perfect, but I'm okay."

"Why are you okay with it though? No one wants a cheating mate. It has to be tough for you. Plus, I know how you feel about Alpha Kellen. You've had feelings for him since we were teens."

The omega tried to explain the situation in a way to make his friend understand.

"Kay, you know Kellen is straight. Just imagine how all this made him feel knowing he was mated to a male. It's confusing for him. Thad wants me, but he's not sure about what he wants. He's in a constant battle with himself. Until he figures himself out, we're going to have an open relationship. Besides, it doesn't just apply to him. It goes both ways."

"Are you saying you're dating someone, Les!! No way I believe that!" The inquisitive friend giggled in disbelief.

"No, I'm not seeing other people. I don't have a desire to but Kellen thinks I should. He doesn't think its fair I keep my needs bottled up until full moons."

"I hate to say it but Kellen is right, Les. Why should you be limited to full moons just for affection. We all have needs, Les and there's nothing wrong with it. Wolves are sexual creatures. Stop being ashamed to admit what you want. I think you should consider it. After all, you both agreed."

As the caster spoke, thoughts plagued his head. Could he really go through with sleeping with someone other than his alpha?

"We did kiss, Karyn. I mean a real kiss. On my birthday. I can wait until he sorts himself out."

"For how long though? What if he never figures out what he wants? Then what? What if keeps having hook ups? How will you deal with that? The spell works, but you'll still know. He's fulfilling his needs while yours are going lacking. Don't put yourself through that. I say go for it!"

"Besides, knowing you're with someone else, may make him wake the hell up and really claim you. You know how territorial Alpha's are."

The omega had a lot to consider; his friend had valid points.
