Fur and Skin: New Life, Old Passions (Epilog)
Mark returns home with his new wolven wife. Keera’s pregnancy advances as their new pups come into the world. Their relationship is tested as their lives move forward into a new horizon.
Me and Keera returned from our trip, now husband and wife. We were both still glowing from the experience, feeling more connected than ever before. The time we spent in the wolven village with her family was amazing, new facets of our relationship coming to the surface.
Shortly after we got back we began to plan for our pups which were certainly on their way. We would have about 7 months to prepare, Keera would be due in early spring the next year. In the meantime I returned to work as Keera readied the house.
Going back to guard duty was interesting, I was blessed with the uncanny sense of smell that had persisted since the strange dream me and Keera shared. I kept it quiet and let my new sense give me the edge my fellow wolven guardsmen always had. A whole new array of clues was at my disposal and ready to reveal the truth behind any dispute my guard duty tasked me to resolve. It was amazing to take in the scents of the city and see it in a whole new way.
It was three months in when Keera really started to show. Her lithe form showing the telltale signs of pregnancy. We still made time to go into the city and socialize as the days passed, Keera letting her belly show as we shared the good news with our friends.
We got many looks of confusion when we told others about 'our' pups that were on the way. Most just nodded and went along with us. Everyone knew humans and wolven could not conceive together, i'm sure most just assumed there had been a surrogate involved. We decided not to tell everyone about our visit to the shaman, a story few would likely believe. We saved that tale for the few more spiritual wolven we had come to know.
Me and Keera spent most of the winter indoors. It was astonishing to see her come into her winter coat again. I still remember the first winter we spent together, I had not realized how different she would look when her fur coat thickened for the season, giving her a soft puffy shape. And now with her pregnant belly and swelling breasts she looked much larger than normal. Yet that would not stop us from expressing our love, It was fun to explore Keera's changing body, my hands running over her swelling, even more sensitive nipples as I scratched into her thick fur. I relished exploring her changing body as she grew closer to having our pups.
As the winter began to fade Keera was finding daily life difficult, her body tiring easily as she neared the end of the pregnancy. Her belly was huge, we estimated there would be four pups by her size. She had stopped wanting to go into town, feeling too tired and a bit self conscious from her swelling body.
It was impossible for me not to also notice Keera's changes in mood, the hormones taking her for a ride as she would shift from a proud glowing mother to be, into a timid, unsure female who only held worry about the future.
I did not hesitate to let her know I still thought she was beautiful. I would hold her arms as she shyly looked down, showing her more submissive side as I leaned over and planted a firm kiss across her muzzle. We still made love during the later stages of the pregnancy, I would never hesitate to show my loving wife how much I cared for her, it always seemed to help bring up her mood, and mine.
Later that month it finally happened. The wolven midwife helped Keera as I held her paw, It took most of the day as we waited and Keera struggled. But in the end we had four pups, two males and two females. The pups were pronounced healthy and fit as Keera recovered from the ordeal. She lay on her side, pups mewling about at her belly as I laid against her back, petting her head as she tried to relax. I could see the stress and pain still clearly on her face. We both knew this would not be easy but with our resolve we could be the parents we strived to be.
I was glad two of my wolven guard friends had pushed me to ask for more time off. They insisted that I would need it from their own experiences, wolven often got more paternal leave than humans due to the multiple pups and on account of my wolven wife I should take the same. I had never really thought much about it but I was happy to now have two whole months to help Keera at home and not worry about my job.
The pups were adorable, small balls of fluff squirming about and yawning with their fragile bodies. Looking at them I could see much of Keera, gray blotchy markings and wholey wolven features. But there were some other interesting observations to be made. Two of the pups had stark brown fur, matching my own head hair color, and Keera insisted one of the boys looked just like me, I couldn't really see it myself, but Keera was insistent about it.
Keera was excited by the pups but was also getting exhausted. They often did not let her sleep for long, always needing fed and refusing to leave her side as they huddled into her fur. As time went on the strain was catching up to Keera as day after day she looked after them.
It was cute to have Keera ask me for something to drink and when I return only a minute later to find her fast asleep as the pups dozed next to her. Yet I knew how much it was taking out of her, I could see it in her eyes, this was the most difficult thing she had ever done.
The realization was setting in, it was no longer just me and Keera. We could never go back to the simple couple we were before, things had changed in a very big way. I was excited but also a little remorseful for the simple intimacy we had lost with one another.
The pups grew quickly, developing a little faster than most human children, crawling about as we worked to coral them to the makeshift bed Keera was using for them. Near the end of the two months Keera was able to part with them for longer periods of time, basking in some time outdoors before she felt too nervous and would hurry back inside to make sure the pups were ok.
The day finally came when I needed to return to work. Keera was almost in hysterics, begging for any way for me to stay with her a little longer. Her emotions were at an all time high, feelings of danger and abandonment taking hold of her mind. Yet I still needed to earn for us all, our combined futures depended on it.
Luckily our wolven neighbors were able to help Keera take care of the pups while I was gone. The couple were hoping to have pups of their own soon and adored the time they had to spend with them, me and Keera would repay the debt when the time came. It was merciful that wolven often spent five or ten years between births, valuable time to let the mothers recover and pups grow before another litter could hit them.
New wolven pups were often a more communal event, I was thankful for any help Keera could get during her most trying time.
I had difficulty focusing while on guard duty, standing at my post while I knew Keera was on another week of poor sleep, struggling to keep them fed and happy. The pups were more mobile now, crawling, exploring and even starting to climb around the house. It was a whole new chore trying to keep them all together and safe.
Most nights I would come home to an exhausted wife, whining pups in her arms and crawling at her ankles as she begged me to look after them while she stole some sleep. I too was exhausted from long shifts, but I knew I could never win the 'who is more tired' argument and tried to keep the pups occupied as I almost fell asleep, pups nipping at my arms and pulling on my shirt as I played with them.
Getting to play with the pups was something else. Even as I looked at the fully wolven pups I knew this was my own blood, children of my own that looked up at me with bright innocent eyes. It was a good way to end the day, even as I ached and wished Keera was here to share these moments.
During this time me and Keera's relationship was at its weakest, I was lucky to even get a normal hello lick to the cheek when I got home or woke up in the morning. Her body was still exhausted and mind almost lost since the birth. If it was not for the help I am not sure how we could make it work, our relationship was stretched so thin, some days almost seeming like it was about to break.
But we still had our moments, Keera was starting to adjust to the new life, finding the best ways to make the pups sleep more consistently and being able to actually relax during the day.
After everything we were going through, all the extra worry, and added stress to our lives it all felt worth it when me and Keera both got whole evenings to just spend together as a family. Sitting on the couch after playing with the pups, Keera's paw in my hand as her smiling muzzle rested against my shoulder as she looked up at me with pride and love. Two pups curled on her lap, two on mine as they dozed off, carefree and content. We may have lost something from our lives, but we had gained an incredible gift.
As the pups got older and were more robust Keera began taking them into the city while I worked. Catherine the woman who owned the clothing store in town was happy to let the pups and Keera stay in the back while they waited for me to finish my shift. Even Garris the old wolf was more than happy to help with the pups, walking with a cane he held a cheerful grin when he first saw them, I was happy to call him uncle to the pups.
It was very helpful for us to have Garris to guide us, he was an experienced wolven father, many decades of advice and encouragement that helped us both. Me and Keera were becoming more comfortable as mother and father as time passed.
The pups were getting older now, briefly walking on shaky paws as they learned how to maneuver their bodies in this new world. It was astounding to see them grow more aware of the world, speech was still difficult for them but I could see the spark of high intelligence dawning on their small faces.
On this night we had made special arrangements, I would take Keera out on a date for the night. It had been too long since we had some time just for ourselves. The pups would stay with our neighbors while they had their normal nap, giving me and Keera most of the night before we needed to return.
Keera dressed up for the night, letting her jewelry adorn her head and neck as she wore a fine silken wrap around her body. She looked happy as we headed into the city, just the two of us again. It had taken Keera much time for her to be comfortable to leave the pups at all, but she knew they would be in good care. Tonight she did not need to worry about anything other than enjoying our time, I would be sure of it.
We had tickets to an orchestral concert in the city, a grand occasion with a fine musical arrangement and choir. We both were enchanted as we listened to the music, neither of us had heard instruments on this scale before. Keera's sensitive ears stood tall as she sat forward and listened intently. I breathed a sigh of relief to see her smiling as she was, finally able to just take everything in and be herself once more.
After the concert we ran into my fellow guardsman David and his new wife. They had married only a few months ago, It was interesting to see my more timid friend find a woman that complimented him so well, he had changed much, and for the better. Our mutual friend Jason still spent many nights at the fur and skin taverns, having since fallen away from me and David as time passed. Jason now had a group of younger guardsmen to pal around with, I'm not sure if he would ever settle down.
The environment of the concert hall was a bit on the richer side. I saw many well dressed men and women stare as we walked by, It was almost quaint to once again experience the problems we had conquered much earlier in our relationship. In contrast to the worries and responsibilities we now had those ignorant gawks and hushed whispers seemed like nothing. We were man and wolfess, husband and wife, father and mother, many titles for us to be proud of as we shared this night and more together.
Keera's paw held my arm as we headed back home. We had a nice dinner after the concert and were ready to head back, but we still had some time.
As we walked back home I led us off the dirt road as we headed to the river side. The same spot Keera had made her makeshift home over two years ago now. We drug out the hidden bundle of supplies we still stashed here, it proved a lucrative fishing spot and a private, quiet area for us to spend time with one another, yet we had not been able to use it since the pups.
We unfurled and laid down the thick blanket as we settled down, sighing in relief as we rested our tired bodies.
The night was clear, only wisps of clouds filling the sky as the orange sunset gave way to the dark sky and dawning stars. The air was getting cool, a sign of the fall and coming winter, but I was still comfortable, even as I shed off my good clothes and laid next to Keera who made quick work to strip down and stretch out at my side as we lounged together.
I looked over Keera's form, her body showed clear signs of her motherhood. The teats lining her belly and chest were still swollen, nipples stretching long as they stood out of her fur. Her body a testament to the commitment we had made with one another, the future we forged that was now guiding our life. I feel like we both had grown a few gray hairs since the pups were born, the experience forever changing us as we reached the next stage of life together, as partners.
I felt Keera's paw slide along my arm as we laid together, a slow relaxed feeling to her motion. I rolled onto my side as my arm lifted and rubbed down her belly. My fingers ran over the many bumps of her teats, I was careful with the tender flesh as my finger tips combed through the soft fur around her nipples. Under my fingers I felt the soft flesh of her breasts gently compress at my touch.
Keera's shoulders and hips wiggled into the blanket as a wide smile crossed her face, relaxing further as she continued to rub my arm. I leaned over and kissed her chest, her back arching slowly from my attention, paws gently petting the back of my head.
“It has been such a lovely evening... Thank you..." Keera whispered, she seemed to have especially enjoyed the night after all the stress we had gone through, to just be with me again.
Leaving a quick kiss against her chest I looked up to her. “It's always an honor to have such a kind, beautiful companion for the night."
Keera giggled up to me. “Oh Markus… you flatter me.."
I looked back to her, raw honesty in my eyes. “You are gorgeous Keera, I smile when you walk at my side, my amazing wife."
At my words I leaned upwards, letting my pursed lips fall on Keera's muzzle. I closed my eyes as I felt her lips pull back in a candid smile, letting me gently press against her grinning mouth before a slow wide tongue met me. I too smiled wide as our lips gripped at one another, tongues sliding across our kiss as the paw on the back of my head pressed me in further, my own hands stroking the fur at her sides. She really was beautiful, with all that we had been through, all we were going to share together I could not be happier to have her love.
My stroking hand traveled lower, briefly gracing her lowermost breast before settling on her groin. My fingers splayed wide as they slid around her vulva, the flesh was warm against my skin as I gently pushed and caressed her. I felt a slow moan echo into my mouth as I gently worked against her puffy lips, compressing and stretching the pliable flesh as she moaned and gripped me tighter. I felt her twitch as my fingers opened her body, hips pushing against my hand as I kneaded her tender flesh. It had been too long since I was able to touch her like this.
Keera's legs spread wide as her tail fluttered against the blanket, enjoying the intimate attention. My lips pressed hard against Keera's probing tongue one last time before I left her muzzle and traveled downwards, Keera's paw falling to her belly as she rubbed her teats, eyes closing as she anticipated the next move.
I settled between Keera's open legs as her dark lips twitched slightly, showing just a sliver of bright pink as I leaned forward. Once again my pursed lips kissed against her soft flesh, pushing my nose into her fur I felt her heat spread out against my mouth. My tongue pushed out, sliding between her folds as they parted at my touch. I licked upward as I felt her hips rise slightly in my motion, I felt and tasted her anticipation as I pushed into her soft body.
Keera's firm paw held my head against her groin as her mouth opened wide, a slow moaning gasp as I felt her claw tips press into my scalp. Encouraged I continued to work myself against her, tongue tip probing deep into her flesh, feeling her trembling lips relax and open as her legs grew stiff.
Feeling her body more prepared I opened wide, letting my lips wrap around her entire puffy vulva as my hands pulled against her hips, steadying her body as she continued to roll and shift against the blanket. My mouth gently gripped her whole sex as I sucked against her lips, pulling her deeper into my grip before I slowly squeezed her, feeling her body flexing around my tongue as she writhed harder with my attention.
“Ahh! Ohh…! Ah.." Keera gasped out as my tongue pushed against her tender nub, eliciting a shock of pleasure through her motherly body. Seeing her reaction I pulled back, letting my tongue trace slowly around her flesh as I still held her in my mouth, only briefly teasing the sensitive clit as I let her cool down for a moment and breathe. A sturdy paw pushed my head down as I took the hint, again pushing into her most sensitive flesh as I dove in, nose sniffing deep into her fur, savoring her taste and scent.
Keera pulled her body upward as she curled inward above me, giving her better a grip as both paws pushed against my head. I felt Keera's tail twitch and wag about as the long fur brushed against my chest. Her hips twitched as she pushed against me from both sides, mashing her lower lips into my mouth further as I steadied my breathing and focused on her.
“Ohhh.. mm-markus… it has been too long… ohh… ooo.." Keera said between her pleasured moans, eyes closed hard as she sat up above me, muzzle and dangling tongue inches from my head as I listened to every breath she took.
I felt her hips and legs shake for a moment as her breathing picked up. I rolled her flesh against my tongue and lips, twirling her about as I felt a wet tongue slap haphazardly against my forehead. I couldn't help but smile at her flexibility and genuine affection as I stood firm and continued my work, refusing to relent until her pleasure was complete.
I felt her hips shake as the licking against my head slowed then ceased, replaced with a low, slow gasp as Keera laid down on her back again, shoulders digging into the blanket as her paws stretched to stay firm against my head. Keera body stretched long and far as she gasped louder.
“Ohhh… ahh.. ahh! AH!" Keera gasped out. Her back arching against the blanket as my fingers squeezed desperately around her hips, feeling her peak approaching as her body writhed in my grasp.
Bellow my tongue I felt her passage contracting as her body rose high, straining as my mouth and tongue rubbed her flesh, feeling it quiver as she crested the peak.
“Ah! Ahh! Ahhhh! OHHHH" Gasped Keera as she came hard, claws scratching my hair as her whole body shook, hips leaving the blanket as her shoulders and stretched paws pushed into the ground. Against my mouth I felt her quivering turn to hard shudders as I pushed firmly against her, every motion of mine sending her even higher. Her smiling gasps echoed into the air as I too smiled wide, relishing Keera's pleasured voice as I felt her come down in my grasp, my tongue now tracing around her wide lips as they continued to twitch.
Paws rubbed my head, letting me know I did well as I rose up, letting air fill my mouth once again as we both smiled.
“Oh my.. it had been too long… That was wonderful dear." Keera smiled, almost shyly as she was filled with post orgasmic glee. Her many breasts heaving against her chest as she tried to settle.
I stroked her furred leg as I kneeled above her, my own erection bobbed at my groin, ready if my lady gave the go ahead.
Keera leaned back into the blanket, hips rolling upwards as her tail wagged then swung to the side, inviting me as a paw stroked my thigh.
Feeling Keera's feminine draw my hands reached, then wrapped around her furry thighs as I leaned forward and nestled between her raised, spread legs. Footpaws hooked around my back as Keera smiled up, raising her paws as they settled against my chest.
My mouth opened as I felt Keera's warm legs pull at me, the long fur of her rear tickling against my thighs. Pushing forward I felt the warm lips of her sex glance against my member, I let go of her thighs to reposition myself. Sliding myself up I felt her wide lips spread against my solid member, wrapping around my sensitive glans for a moment as I pushed down, feeling her wet embrace as I let out a silent gasp. The feeling was amazing and invigorating, the gentle sensation of spreading her prepared body, slowly sinking into her overwhelming heat.
I couldn't help but moan out loud as I felt Keera's body fully yield to mine, enveloping me in her warmth as she drew me even further in. I felt myself stop as our hips met, soft fur against me as I stared down at Keera, her eyes closed as her arms pushed strait, almost holding me above her as I bent forward, mouth locked in a silent gasp as I took it all in.
Keera was right, it had been too long since we had felt this. The love and pleasure sparking up in our minds as we once again shared the intimate embrace of lovers.
Keera moaned slowly under me, her canine head pushing against the blanket. I could feel myself twitch inside of her, the attention I gave her moments ago having already pushed me to an advanced state of arousal.
I rolled my hips as I withdrew and pushed back into Keera's embrace, feeling my member slide in as I stretched into her deepest depths. I let my thrusts continue for a few moments before I felt the urge for more. Shifting my weight I lifted from the blanket, getting my feet under me as Keera's legs held tight and her hips followed me upwards. Keera's shoulders held against the ground, her eyes lidded in pleasure as she smiled up at me as her paws held onto my heaving chest.
Hands holding onto the furry legs around my midsection I began to move, letting my feet plant firmly as my hips rolled in small circles which grew wider as I bent forward, towering over my wolven lover.
Keera's already primed sex hugged tightly around my length, her flesh struggling to hold onto me as I plunged in and out, stretching her body as she gasped, clawing against me. Keera once again arched her back as she tried to push against my relentlessly thrusting hip as I held her body aloft.
A wild smile spread across my face as we made love, feeling the familiar, wonderful feelings of our intimacy. Keera too let her wide maw hang open as she panted, feeling her pleasure welling up again already as her head rested against the fabric as I thrust from above, her body bouncing at very hit.
She was so gorgeous, I love the way her canine tongue always slips out of her muzzle, panting as her face stretches in carefree ecstasy. The way her hips keep making small, sporadic thrusts against me as her pleasure builds, feminine gasps filling the air.
I too was feeling myself coming to a peak, the erotic pleasure flowing through me as my groin ached for release, her flesh wrapped firmly around me, following me for a moment before I thrust in again.
As my groin tightened my hand found her paw still pushing against my chest, slipping under her digits I held on and let our limbs push out from our bodies. Hand and paw clenched into one another as I gasped out and kept my pace. Keera's eyes opened lazily as she looked up, gasping as I felt her paw squeeze me desperately, her maw stretching wide as she reached her peak, gasping into the air. Keera's hips arched up, pushing against my grip as I kept thrusting, now riding Keera's bucking body as she cried out into the night once more.
"AHH! AHH...OOOHHHH" Keera moaned out as her head pushed hard against the blanket, hips twitching wildly in my grasp.
I felt her body rock against me as I continued to thrust, now losing my rhythm as my legs started to buckle, feeling my climax rolling in as I struggled to stand.
Desprate I leaned down further, finding Keera's long gasping muzzle as I kissed against her, feeling her neck rise as she pushed back into my mouth, long tongue slipping into my gasping lips.
I thrust down in one more shaking motion as I plunged deep and came. My member twitched as I moaned down into Keera's muzzle, my tongue sliding against her delicate gums as I groaned and gasped in her hold. My member pushed straight and true as I plunged deep, feeling her body clench as my pent up essense splashed into her. My legs pushed against the ground as we curled into one another, hands and paws grasping hard as our mutual pleasure surged between us.
My seed spread deep as my hips slowly rolled against hers, letting my sensitive member rock against her soaked walls as I continued to empty into her. My pleasure lingered as my feet lost traction and I slid back to my knees, still giving another weakened spurt as my member was held deep.
Keera laughed as I struggled to compose myself, still breathing hard as the tension that had built for months poured out of me. As our combined hand and paw hit the blanket I felt both Keera's paws reach out and grab behind my head, pulling against me as she licked wide across my face and smiled. I too reached and stroked her furred cheek as we laughed and rolled on the blanket, our combined bodies grasping and writhing against one another.
Keera broke the kiss as we both gasped and laughed together giddy at our youthful exuberance and genuine love. My hands combed through fur as I felt her body pushing against me, paws tracing over my muscles as our intimate embrace stayed as locked as possible.
Stopping for a moment as we lay on the blanket we both silenced, just looking into one another's eyes as a slow smile took us both. Our heads crossed as we rested onto one another's shoulders, paws and hands clasped against each others back as we hugged tightly.
“Keera, my sweetheart, my wolfess. We have so much…" I whispered into her fur, almost on the edge of tears from the passion and tenderness we clearly still held.
Keera's voice was low and emotional. “You make me feel so special, after everything… I Love you.. Markus"
My hands gripped harder as our heads pushed against one another's. Keera meant the world to me, I would love her until our hair turned gray and the world crumbled around us, there is no other I would spend my remaining days with. My wolfess, my love.
EPILOG
The pups were getting older now, walking and talking on their own. Keera was now more comfortable to watch over the pups by herself while I was at work. But today we were taking a family day trip into the city.
The door chime of Catherine's shop sounded as we stepped through the doorway, excited pups running in front of us as we entered the familiar shop.
Catherine came down and greeted the excited pups on her knees, having been their pup sitter for some time now. Life had gone well for the woman, having moved into a larger store and now having several talented men and women to help run the business.
Keera hugged Cathrine as the pups curiously looked about, searching for a known scent here in the store.
Keera and Catherine chatted as I saw a familiar set of wolven ears come around the corner of the shop. In the doorway stood Garris as he leaned on his sturdy cane, a fancy vest across his chest and a peculiar pair of fine slacks on his furry legs, ending in wrapped footpaws. The old black wolf was a bit worse for wear than he was over three years ago but he still held an impressive visage. The wolf's soft side came out as he too gently kneeled and greeted the pups. It was sweet to see the big guy hold such a gentle paw with the children. The impressive bounty hunter that me and my fellow guardsman had saved from the brink of death now knelt to receive face licks from my excited pups. Pups for whom he was partly to thank for their existence.
Garris sat down on the floor as I joined him, the pups crawling onto our laps as they sniffed at the old wolf and grabbed at his furred arms.
“How are you holding up Garris?" I asked my wolven friend.
“Pretty good Markus, doctor said I may have a couple more decades if I took things easy."
“Catherine got you in a new outfit I see." I said chuckling a bit, remembering how I had first seen him.
“Ohh? Oh yes.. Trying out some new designs for her, she seems to love testing her new wolven fashions on me." Garris smirked, It was clear he liked the extra attention a bit more than he would let on.
“I am taking her out to the theatre tonight too, she needs to have a night off and be treated well." The old wolf smiled, he and Catherine had become even closer since his injury, she had helped encourage him and helped him recover. It was lucky he was so fit for his age and was able to make a good recovery. He may never be the same but the wolven male still held his pride as he looked at life with new eyes.
I turned back to Garris as my son grasped and crawled up my arm before being held against my chest. “Catherine said she has you helping run the shop now too."
“Yes, It has been good, doctors say I need to stay occupied, Catherine certainly sees to that..."
“Must be strange going from bounty hunter to shop minder" I said.
Garris just laughed knowingly, “Well markus I have worked many jobs in my life, it seems like it was simply time for a change."
As we chatted my son climbed onto Garris, reaching for his large ears as the old wolf picked him up and smiled as the pup squirmed and laughed in his paws.
“I see more of you in the pups everyday, Mark." Garris said, looking on my brown furred pup.
It was true, it was an intangible comparison but as their personalities developed it was hard not to see a little bit of myself in them. Wolven had always recognized me as the father, able to smell my parentage on them, many double takes and re-sniffing from strangers who almost couldn't believe it at first. And I think many humans were starting to believe it too.
I was very proud of them, even in their frail youth I could see their potential, wild and kind like their mother, focused and determined like myself.
Keera and Catherine walked over, both looking down as the pups crawled around and on us. We were thankful to have both Catherine and Garris as family friends, they both had helped us adjust to parenthood and the pups always liked to come to visit.
Keera smiled as she looked down at us and spoke. “We would love to stay but we need to get to the park."
“Oh that will be fun, won't it?" Replied Garris, his graying muzzle turning low as he directed his question to the pups.
“ya!" replied the pups in a happy jumbled chorus, jumping up as they grabbed onto their mother's legs, full of energy.
Getting up I joined them as we turned to Garris and Catherine.
“Now, say goodbye." I said as we waved.
“bye!" The pups shouted before we returned to the city streets.
We had many plans for the pups, me and Keera both wanted to make sure they grew up cultured in both human and wolven worlds. We needed to prepare them for school in the city, here they would have many opportunities. For now we were about to take a trip back to redwood, Keera's parents were eager to see the pups, and it would be good to let them experience more of the world and their wolven side of the family.
I had also heard from my father recently, writing back to me he was preparing for a trip into the city in a few months for trade, his words suggested a visit. Me and Keera both would welcome him to our home, he had been very polite in our correspondences, eager to hear how I was doing. It would be very good to see him again, and for him to know that I really had found something special with my wolven wife.
Our future would be full of adventures for the pups, our lives focused on our new family.
My mind was filled with anticipation, excitement and just a little bit of fear as I strode down the city streets. With me was my wife Keera and our children who ran around at our feet. We were interspecies parents, years of stress and hardship paying off as we watched our children thrive and enjoy life. We did not know what the future would hold for them, this world held many challenges and triumphs, whatever happened, we would always be behind them.
I let out a long contented sigh as I heard Keera do the same, our hand and paw squeezed together as we looked to one another, Keera's long muzzle swinging close to my face as she smiled. We shared a quick triumphant kiss as we proudly strode down the street, looking forward to our children and a long future together.
The End.
///////////
Authors Note: Mark and Keera have come a long way. It may be sad to end their series but I feel it's a good place to leave them. A happy ending!
The first chapter of this series was actually meant to be a simple short story, one where I could just publish something in order to get it over with. It was supposed to end with the female leaving and that being all… but as I wrote the actual story and developed the characters I realized I was starting to fall in love with them.
My experience was parallel to Marks, What was supposed to be a simple one time thing turned into something so much more. 65k words later we have my first series, Thank you everyone for all the views, faves comments and watches!
Even though I am putting Mark and Keera's story to bed for now I really want to dive more into this world and the characters at some point. As always let me know what you thought!
Also if you have any questions or suggestions feel free to ask in the comments! Ill try to answer every one I get.
