Havermouth, Five Years BeforeHeath cleared his throat, wrestling that thought back, trying to refocus, to try to explain to Aislen without using the words forbidden to him what he was trying to achieve, what the future would hold now that she was behaving herself and they had claimed her. “Are you applying to the local university, Aislen?” He asked, choosing practicality. If there was a bribe that needed to be paid, he’d organize it.“I don’t know,” she said barely audibly. “I don’t know what to study and I doubt I have the grades.”As if that made a difference in the werewolf world, he thought with a flash of amusement, but, of course, she didn’t know that. “Your grades are okay. If you do well in the exams at the end of the month, you can make up the difference… Rhett says that you’re very good at art,” he thought about the scholarship that the pack was trying to arrange for her with disdain. “He’s very certain that he wants to go into tattoos and piercings… would something like th
Havermouth, Present Time“My place has become inaccessible due to the flood, unfortunately,” Leighton told Cameron. “So, I am having to improvise. If you will head towards the warehouse district just beyond the MegaStore, I would appreciate it, Cameron.”“Suuuure,” Cameron’s eyes met Aislen’s in the rear-view mirror before he focused on the road.“I am pleased that you have heeded my advice,” Leighton Richard said to Aislen and Talen. “And looked after Nora for me rather than the alternative.”“We found her snacking on Shaun Bascall,” Rhett twisted in the seat in order to look at Leighton. “He didn’t survive the experience.”“Ah,” Leighton grimaced. “That is unfortunate.”“You’re going to tell us what the f-k is going on,” Aislen said to him firmly.Leighton lifted an eyebrow. “Am I?”“Yes,” Aislen nodded slowly. “Because you need us to be f-king quiet about this if you plan on continuing to live in Havermouth, and I think you can’t leave here, so you don’t have much choice.”“I could
Havermouth, Present Day“We are going to discuss this further,” Heath said as Rhett pulled up at Aislen’s father’s house. “But, right now, it is wet, we are all cold, tired, and exhausted.”“What is going on with you Heath?” Aislen asked him, feeling the echoes of his fear like cobwebs of ice winding around her internal organs. “We’ve been distracted by face-eating monsters and missing little girls… What happened whilst we were away that has you so…” She broke off as his grey eyes met hers.“So what?” Rhett turned from the driver’s seat.“Exhausted,” Heath told him. “That has me so exhausted.”“Yeah,” Aislen agreed slowly. “That’s what I meant.”“Well,” Talen reached for the door handle. “Let us go inside.”Aislen shuddered as the cold whipped away the heat of the cab and slid out of the Ute after Heath. The five of them ran across to the porch and Heath unlocked the door using his set of keys because Aislen couldn’t find hers.The house smelled stale and empty after being closed up o
Havermouth, Present Time“Kinky f-king boys,” she laughed as Rhett lifted her onto the bed and she held onto the suspension rails as she stepped across the mattress, placing a foot on either side of Heath’s head and looking down at him, with her hair falling down around her and without a stitch of clothing on. “Do you like the view?” She teased him.His smirk smouldered as his hands stroked up her calves. “You know that I do, but I find that I’m getting short-sighted in my old age, and you might need to bring that beauty closer for me to appreciate it fully.”Talen’s eyes opened and lifted to watch, his lips curling with an approving smile.Aislen used the headboard to steady her as she knelt, sitting on his chest. “Close enough?” She asked him as he caressed over the generous swells of her thighs to her hips. She gasped as he tugged her forward and dragged his tongue over her c-nt. “Oh, god,” she moaned gripping onto the headboard as he pulled her tightly to his face seeming to decid
Havermouth, Five Years BeforeRhett wasn’t averse to physical activity precisely, but he preferred to get it f-king than running around the oval. However physical education was mandatory at school for werewolves as physical exertion helped manage alphas’ more anti-social aggressive traits, and he’d skipped so many times that Mr Owens had threatened to speak to Abigail if Rhett didn’t show up at least once before the end of the year.If he’d been in the same class as Cameron or Heath, Rhett might have turned up more often, but their class schedules meant that they were in different physical education groups.As Heath had decided that they would stay until lunch, Rhett decided to comply with Mr Owens’ requirement and actually show up to class. It was a werewolf only physical education class, although the humans didn’t know that, as it allowed the werewolves to exert themselves without exposing their supernatural abilities – a bunch of werewolves running the oval tended to be fairly even
Havermouth, Five Years BeforeRhett took the groceries up to the bedroom window, sliding open the glass in order to deposit the bags inside. Heath and Aislen weren’t f-king on the bed, which made him wonder what they were doing. He followed the veranda around to the balcony and saw them through the kitchen windows. Heath had the first aid kit out and was applying arnica to Aislen’s arse.The expression on Heath’s face as he applied the cream to the bruises caused Rhett’s heart to twist within his chest. He stepped into the open door, catching the doorframe in his hands, and leaned into the room. Heath looked up, meeting his eyes, despair written clearly across his face.What the f-k had happened? Rhett wondered, his heart thudding within his chest.“Let that sit on the skin until it sinks in,” Heath said as he put the lid back on the cream. He washed his hands in the sink and put the first aid box away. “Go see what Cameron is up to,” he said without turning to face her.Rhett searche
Havermouth, Five Years Before Rhett didn’t hate mornings as much as he professed, though there were some days when he would prefer to stay up and sleep in late, a big part of him looked forward to Cameron’s hopeful nudges and coaxing into morning sex. He liked to feel his red-haired mate snuggle up to him, all warm and relaxed from sleep, and, whilst Rhett wasn’t a huge fan of morning breath, he did like the scent and taste of his mates’ skin first thing upon waking, that salty blend of all three of them and old come never failed to make him hard.Four of them now, he added lazily as he surfaced out of sleep to the murmuring of Cameron and Aislen. Heath’s voice joined them and Aislen moaned. This was the future, he told himself experimentally. This was how the rest of his life would be, the Triquetra and Aislen, and eventually kids. It felt… weird. But, also, exciting. And frightening. F-k, he thought. Who needed coffee when there was the impending doom of Armageddon descending on yo
Havermouth, Five Years BeforeCameron and Heath had propped the ladder against the side of the house and stood holding coffee and looking up thoughtfully at the roof when Rhett rounded that side of the house and they both looked at him quizzically when he arrived from the opposite direction to the normal walk from the back of the house.“Is everything okay?” Heath asked immediately.“Fine.” The generator had kicked in as he’d passed it, so he knew that Aislen was in the bathroom. “She’s in the bathroom.”“Hmm,” Heath frowned at him, not believing him at all that everything was fine.“It’s fine,” Rhett told him. “Where is my coffee?”Cameron surrendered the cup that he held, whether it had been intended for Cameron or Rhett didn’t matter so much as sating Rhett’s need for caffeine to the Triquetra’s red-haired mate, Rhett knew, and wrapped his arm around Cameron, tugging him into a tight embrace and pressing a kiss to his neck before releasing him, leaving Cameron glowing with pleased
