Chapter 15 - ... And his Bond-Mate Mark
The cab stopped at a nice house.. Near the beach. Good neighborhood.
Heather got out and came up to the door.. Mark opened it, and let the lioness in, growling to himself.. So This was the hussy who dared to seduce his Bond-mate. So was very pretty and very Sexy.. That didn't matter.
The she swished up to him and putting her paws on his shoulders, kissed him. Now Mark was Gay from the tips of his ears to the end of his footclaws.. But that kiss made him slide his arms around her and kiss back.. Then he sputtered and pulled away, laughing..
"Sorry..."
There was no anger in her lovely amber eyes.. Just a curiosity.. And the enjoyment of kissing him. The wolf sighed softly.. This was the Female that Should have been Rande's Mother. Hell, if His mother had been this sexy.. He shivered and blanked the thought out.
The eyes never lied.. He could see the concern, love, desire.. But no anger. At him. At his Lover.. Oh it was There, Like a snake, ready to strike.. And sadness.. Not her's but another's.
"Maria?"
She nodded.. Gods, and he was going to Judge Her? Mark touched her cheek, and smiled.. "I was just thinking of an old, bad Gay joke.. She was So Fine, she made me wish I was a Lesbian."
Then they both broke up and had to sit down..
The wolf got 2 beers and talked a while, liking what he heard more and more..
"Mark.. I want you to know We won't step on Tribal Rights. When Rande is of Age he will be yours."
The wolf nodded, waiting for the other shoe...
"But If something happens, Gods Forbid, He Is Family. Just so you know."
He was polite enough to Not choke on his beer. Mountain Furs. His Father once told him, When the Mountain Moves Seek Shelter. For nothing can stand in it's way. Their ways were the Old Ways. Older than Clans. Older than Tribes in some ways. She was giving him Warning - And kind of a Blessing..
"You know when you Bond with Rande you are going to be like a Cousin.. Now what are you going to do with three sexy females, hovering around you. Making sure you eat, and tuck you in bed.. And shower with you?"
Mark Did choke on His beer..
"Running their fingers through your fur, caressing your sexy butt, your chest.. Oh Don't worry Sweetie - We will leave the Special parts to your Hubby.."
He coughed.. Coughed again, Gasped..
"You are Dangerous! Damn.. You Really don't know what you just said.."
She laughed.. "Oh I know - I have been with Him - Teaching him Females can be fun in bed too. He calls me a Goddess. I would tell him no, but you know How he Is.. I am more like a Big Sister.. I am also a Healer."
Mark put the beer down and pushed it away. Until she stopped talking, he wasn't going to touch it.
"I want to ask you a Personal Question.. Has Paulis ever froze up on you? I mean Totally frozen, Zonked, Nobody Home."
That made wheels turn.. He thought about it.. Thought hard.
"No, I haven't.. But I have never been Alone with him - Jack might know."
She nodded biting her lip. "No, not with Him either - They had some moments, but.."
She turned and look him straight in the eyes.
"Mark - I am afraid Paulis has been abused. By a Female. I am Hoping I am wrong.. That this is all Just Stress. But I can't shake the feeling something else is there."
She held both hands.. "I need someone else who can tell such things. Look.. I was playing with Him. Trying to Seduce him but Gently. Oh Hell - I damn near ripped his pants down. Said some thing in anger.. Now I know I shouldn't have. But he Froze up like a statue. Blank eyes, the works."
He nodded. "Stress or.. A Panic Attack."
She nodded again.
"I Got him upstairs, in his bed and had to say some Harsh things to him to get him out of it.. Hot then cold rage. I thought I had him when he tossed punches at me.. Tried some Word Replay.. 'You're Never Home.' That sort of thing.. Then the lightswitch got hit. I seen Many things in the Clinic.. Grief so deep it doesn't come out for weeks. Anger so strong fists get punched through walls.. I have a purty nice collection of 'em.."
He laughed.. But his mind was working.
"I mean from Cave fur Ready to Kill to Civilized male. I could have been a friend at work. Or someone on the road he waved to. That Ain't Normal.. Why is it we have not killed another fur in 400 years - Not since The Law. But we can still rip someone's heart and soul out, stomp it into the dirt and walk away?"
And he was holding her, caressing her.. But his eyes were narrow.
* * * *
Out in the vast grasslands, ears perked. War? No.. The anger was too vague. It had no target.. But when It did... He looked over at his favorite Husband of the Day. Slapped his butt..
"Again?"
Wearily the bull buffalo rolled onto his belly. Gods, Nobody had the Wolf's prowess in bed! Got a soft caress that made him tremble..
"Not this time My Husband."
That was so startling the bull sat up.
"My Son holds a Female.. Whose heart is pure, but clouded with the pain of others. We may have to Travel. Gather the Elders. And when we are done.. Then I will tie your body to mine and make you grunt and spurt.."
Another pat made the buffalo get moving. As he sat, the figure of a rabbit came into view. A kitling whose sexuality made the wolf shudder. And whose fear made him Growl.
'Go My Son.. Seek the source as an arrow seeks it's target.'
It faded from the fire.. To be replaced by another. A Lion standing on a Mountain. Said a single word then disappeared. 'Family.'
So - The rabbit lad had more than One tribe watching over him. That was Good. The elders shuffled in, nodding to him and he to them. They said nothing, but their eyes spoke of excitement.. A traveling. The wolf told them all he saw, all he heard. They knew Mark had a Mate, But a Rabbit! Rabbits were considered Messengers of the Gods, Harbringers of Fortune. To see one meant Change was in the wind. And the Mountain Tribes - The only ones who could claim an older heritage. Yes, they would Travel. Travel to the Mountain Furs. Winter would be here - They would store food and supplies, males would work and grow strong. For the strongest warriors pulled the wagons. Yes they had modern vehicles, But this was Custom.. Runners would go ahead of them, Telling the others to meet at the Gathering Place. Inviting the Mountain Clans, the Sea clans - Any who wished to come.
When they had smoked and made plans, the elders left to spread the word. And the buffalo male returned, trembling at the wolf's smile.. This was going to be a Long Day. Was turned over, kissed.
"I want to see your face as we mate."
The bull trembled again but with the Honor he was being given. The big cock slid in him and he arched, moaning.. This male Always made him Moan.

Mark nodded.. Runs With Wind, Son of SunStar smiled. Kissed the lioness.
"It will be alright. We will find the problem. There are many paws working with us. Can you stay a while longer? I have to make a trip."
She nodded and giggled as he kissed her nose. "You know of course if Rande is your Cousin, That makes me a Cousin by Marriage. And You Little Sister, still have work to do."
He drove her home, telling Paulis he would be away for a while.. But Would be back to check up on them. School wasn't happy, but a few words to the Head of Studies and he was cleared.
Filled the car up with Methane - A natural byproduct it was collected, compressed and used to run vehicles like his. And up the Road he went..
So Lion - You claim Family on my Bond-Mate.. Let's see who you Really Are. And how the hell you raised such a Sexy, beautiful Daughter with so much caring and Love. Damn, he was Still Tempted...
The End
