Snowdrift awoke in a room, on a large mattress and a warm furry body lying next to her, the smell was familiar. Sundawn. Turning slightly, she watched the cheetah pattern chakat sleep, hir eyes closed and hir ample breasts rise and fall as shi breathed in and out. Shi had obvious curled up next to me during the night. The tigertaur surmised, smiling too herself. Then another furry body moved, curled up between them. This one was smaller. Looking down, Snowdrift smiled at the chakat cub asleep and purring softly. Reaching down, she petted hir head, eliciting a cute murp and the cub curl tighter in a ball of fluff.
"Shi likes that hun, especially on the bridge of hir nose." Replied the sleepy voice of Snowdrift's second mate.
"Yes, even domesticated cats do as well." Snowdrift snickered, lightly scritching the cub's nose, making hir mouth open and a gurgling sound coming from the back of hir throat. Then shi sneezed and woke up, yawning widely. Shi gave a little meow, then snuggled against Snowdrifts body, clutching firmly with all 7 limbs.
"It looks like you have yourself an admirer there." Sundawn smirked, softly stroking the tigertaur's cheek affectionately.
Snowdrift smiled, and then winced with pain when Dawnlight latched onto her right breast.
"Ouch! Easy there kitty, I am still a little sore." She replied, gently but firmly pulling the protesting cub from her nipple. Sundawn grimaced at seeing the ugly scar, testimony to Snowdrift's tragic accident.
"I am so sorry." Shi whispered, projecting calm and peace too hir new denmate.
"For what?" Snowdrift asked, purring when the cub started suckling on her left breast.
"For your loss."
A pained expression crossed Snowdrifts face at remembering once again the loss of her unborn, and she started to cry. Sensing the female's anguish, and not knowing why, Dawnlight stopped suckling and started licking Snowdrifts breast, then moved up too her cleavage. Unknowingly projecting hir limited empathic feelings and love.
Snowdrift calmed down and licked the cubs head, then kisslicked Sundawn's cheek lovingly.
"I don't know how you do it; handle such diversity without cracking up. Right now, I feel and look like shit. Basically, I am shit." Snowdrift replied, still feeling a little depressed.
"You sure do look a little rough, but trust me there are a lot of worst things you could be feeling." Sundawn replied, returning the kisslick.
"Oh, like what, pray tell?" Snowdrift asked, purring from the two chakat's relaxing grooming.
"How about when I was in medic's training they showed me a chakat... with only one natural leg." Starting too groom Snowdrifts neck.
"Yes... that is horrible. But how would shi handle losing an unborn cub?" Then Snowdrift gave Sundawn a kiss, but it wasn't a friendly pash. It was an intimate lovers kiss, slipping her tongue inside Sundawn's muzzle and searched out hir own tongue. Both felinetaur purred and held each other tightly as they tongue wrestled. Poor Dawnlight couldn't understand what the adults were doing, so shi got their attention by nuzzling between the locked muzzles.
Both Sundawn and Snowdrift broke their intimate kiss and giggled, snuggling the cub between them, making the kitten meeped and struggle within the adults embrace.
"The one thing you can rely on, is interfering kittens that wanna join in with our fun." Sundawn replied, tickling the cub's belly.
"Yeah, just wait until they want some privacy, we'll intrude on them like they did on us." Snowdrift giggled, tickling the cub's sides along with Sundawn.
The cub squirmed and giggled and thrashed about from the tickle attack, tail slashing back and forth widely.
A light tentative knock on the door interrupted the fun, and Dawnlight broke away from the two adults and bolted towards the door, pawing at it.
"Come in." Sunny replied, cuddling up next too Snowy.
The door opened, and a tall dark skinned human male stepped inside.
Snowdrift tensed up and eyed him suspiciously, then relaxed when she caught his scent. She recognised the smell on Illumanati, and figured that this must be hir denmate Stephan. But she kept silent and watched him carefully.
"Hi Sunny, Good Morning Snowdrift." He replied, bowing too her, which caught her off guard briefly. No human that she knew of had ever done that before, and not to a fur.
"Good Morning Stephan, how are you?" Sundawn replied, yawning and stretching, exposing hir breasts too the human, but he seemed unfazed by hir nudity.
"I'm fine, just thought too inform you that Nati has prepared breakfast, for both of.. oof" he replied, catching the leaping cub in his arms, holding hir like an infant, cradling hir body in his arms.
"Dawny, you're going too get fur all over my uniform." He replied, stroking hir belly, making hir purr and nuzzle his chin, gently nibbling it softly.
Snowdrift stared wide-eyed at how the cub so easily settled into the humans arms, with no fear.
Sundawn noticed this and chuckled.
"Is this the first time you've met Stephan?"
"Yeah, but he's not what I expected." The tigertaur replied, watching with mixed feelings at the way the cub and human interacted. She felt surprise and unease at watching the large human handling the small cub with ease.
"I know what you mean. You're thinking, why isn't he like those H1 bastards, right?"
Snowdrift blushes, feeling shame that such thoughts would enter her head, but she couldn't deny that was what she was thinking. With her past dealings with humans, she had developed a mistrust and fear of them. Only one human was an exception, and that was Kevin, her personal handler and trainer.
Snowdrift nodded too Sundawn's question, still watching Stephan and the cub play, whom he has now clinging to his back, giving hir a piggy back ride too the kitchen.
"Well sweety, not all humans are malicious bigots that wanna kill or victimise us furs, some are decent caring people."
Snowdrift chuckled and smiled, as something Solarblaze once told her resurfaced. A cub hood memory, of Stephan giving hir a horsey ride. Then her mood became dark and sombre, as something else came too mind. The memory of Solarblaze losing hir innocence on that very same day. The death of hir mother, which was the catalyst for all that has happened up to this point.
"Hunni, it is not good to dwell on the past, even if current events remind you of those dark times. I don't know about you, but I look at what we have now, and make the most of it. Let's enjoy Nati's famous cooking, and face the day and all the challenges, ok?" Sundawn replied, licking the white tigertaur's ears, making her shiver with the intense tickling inside her head.
"Hey, no fair." She responded, turning to repay the chakat for hir sneakiness, only to find hir already through the door, swishing hir rump behind hir, enticing the tiger too growl and chase after hir. She skidded to a stop when Stephillum emerged from out of nowhere, obviously teleporting from somewhere.
"Whoa!! Ease up there miss Snowy, we wouldn't wanna have a feline CATastrophe now, would we?" shi replied, smiling.
"No, we wouldn't. Umm who are you?" she asked, nervously of the teenage foxtaur.
"Oh, sorry. Didn't mean too be so rude. My name is Stephillum, daughter of Stephan and Illumanati." Shi said, offering the tigertaur a hug.
"Daughter? But he's a human. How can he... oh. Never mind." She replied, realizing how silly her question would be. Stephan had already sired Solarblaze with a chakat named Sunrise. So apparently, he must be fertile with taurs. He must be a stud, to have such beautiful daughters and a hot vixen as a mate. Her thoughts were interrupted by another fur emerging from the hall. Unlike Stephillum, shi was a fox morph, and nursing a folf. Oh man, she thought. Don't tell me he mated with hir as well?
"Morning Snowdrift, my name's Crysteen. Ready for breakfast I see." Replied the vixen herm, in a very sweet and young voice. Snowdrift noticed the gold band on hir finger, a sign that shi must have gotten married in the traditional human fashion.
Crysteen noticed that Snowdrift was looking at hir ring, so shi presented hir hand for her too look at closely. Snowdrift took it gently and studied the gold band.
"Me and my mate got hitched shortly after we conceived our child together." shi replied, smiling and murring as the light blue furred folf suckled hir warm milk.
"At least he had the decency to marry you properly, not like his other mates." Snowdrift replied, smiling back.
"Other mates?" Crysteen asked, then turned too face the yawning arctic wolf morph, who had emerged from the bedroom. He saw hir questioning glance.
"What?" Nordic asked, puzzled.
"Snowy here has informed me that you've been marrying other furs. Please tell me that's not true." Shi asked, clearly upset.
"No! Never! Why would she say such a thing?" he asked, holding his hands up.
"Oh! What will I do? My mate and the father of my cub is cheating on me, and I am only 15. Oh, the humility." Shi wailed, covering hir eyes.
"Crysteen, hunni! I would never cheat on you. And I would never will! Snowdrift, what did you say to hir?" Nordic asked the tigertaur, who was clearly getting upset by what she had inadvertedly done.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean anything, I thought that the cub was Stephan's" she wailed, feeling very embarrassed.
"Oh no! Now the cub isn't mine?" Nordic cried, covering his face with his hands, clearly distressed.
"No, I didn't mean that, what I meant too say is..." then she stopped as she heard both Crysteen and Nordic giggling uncontrollably. Then they both burst into laughter, with Frostpaw still nursing away.
"Oh, ha ha, very funny. You know, for a moment there, I thought that you two were very upset, and that I had screwed up your marriage. I should just... merph" Snowdrift gasped, as Crysteen deeply kisslicked her.
Nordic was grinning like an idiot as his mate affectionately kissed the tigertaur.
"Hun, there's one thing you should know if you're going to be apart of this crazy family, and that is not to take everything so serious, and that we love to joke around." He replied, hugging the tigertaur and stroking her back.
Despite being angry and upset at the prank, Snowdrift soon forgave the pranksters as she enjoying the tongue lashing from the vixen, as she returned the passionate kiss in kind.
Soon, feline and vulpine disengaged as the smell from the dining room caught their attention, making muzzles drool and bellies rumble.
"We had better join the horde before there is nothing left." Nordic added, looping an arm in each of his, tiger on his right and vixen on his left. Then they all walked down the hall too the spacious room, where Illumanati was serving the food from a silver tray.
Ok dear kitty, what exactly have you gotten yourself into? Snowdrift thought as she sat down at the table.
