“And I hate you calling me Pumpkin” I tell him.
“You will always be my little pumpkin” He says and scrunch my face up at him and he laughs.
“We are going for a run, if you want to come, Derrick” Mateo says and I look over my shoulder at him.
“You asked Ezra?” I ask him.
“Yeah he said it was fine and after training he would find us, so you want to come too?” Mateo asks, looking at my father.
“No, I will leave you kids to it. I should get to work anyway, being kind of slacking in that department” He says standing up and kissing my head.
“I will catch you later Mateo, have fun” He says walking out, I follow him to the door and close it when he leaves.
“Ready?, Ezra just said not go past the river, we can always go swimming and then head back” Mateo says, tugging his shirt off over his head as he walks out the back.
“He said we could go swimming?” I ask him and he nods.
“Yeah said he might meet us out there” Mateo says before dropping his pants. I look at the sky and away from him.
Kora the pervert telling me to look at him when I hear bones snapping and shifting before Ares’ nose touches my hand and I look down.
“Turn around then” I tell him and he does so I can shift.
Kora shifted and Ares kept his back to us until she bit his tail making him spin around.
“Race you” She says before shoving him over and darting toward the treeline.
It felt good being in this form, Kora was carefree and loved the feel of the earth under her feet, the way the dirt kicked up behind her as she zipped in and out of trees and jumped over fallen logs. The breeze ruffled her fur and D*mn was she fast and lithe on her feet.
She slows down looking for Ares, and we could hear him catching up to us when everything suddenly falls silent, before he pounces, tackling Kora. Ares jumps off her and darts away and her giving chase and I could see she was excited for the game they were playing.
“She seems excited to be out” Mateo mindlinks me.
“Yep sucks she can’t shift much” I tell him just letting her go and do what she wants while she can.
“You still want to go swimming or do you want to wait for Ezra?” He asks me and I shrug before remembering he can’t see that through the link.
“Either I am not fazed, and Ezra was fine with it?” I ask him.
“Said he was, let me add him to the link” Mateo says and I feel a weird rippling before Ezra’s voice comes into range and it was strange having a three way conversation. I have had orders barked at me through the link with everyone connected but never just three people.
“What’s up, I am nearly done here” Ezra says.
“Do you want us to wait to go swimming?” I ask him.
“No, I won’t be long anyway we are just packing up” Ezra says.
“You sure Maddox won’t be angry and get the wrong idea,” Mateo asks and I could hear he was nervous about Ezra coming over while we were both naked in the water.
“No, he is fine with it”
“And you’re fine with it?” I ask confused, Sh*t was I fine with it?
“Kat, I am fine with anything you do as long as you’re safe and only with Mateo” He says, cutting off the link to him.
What the F*uk did that last part mean?
“Now I’m confused, I am not sure I am comfortable swimming Mateo”
“Yeah I feel the same, Ares thinks Maddox is going to kill us” Mateo chuckles but his laugh sounded nervous.
“Come on we can just run until he finds us” Mateo says and I focus back on Kora who was still playing with Ares as they zipped through the forest. When it was nearly lunch time though I told Kora to head toward home Ares falling in line with her as they walked back towards the packhouse when we heard movement in the forest. Ares lurched forward in front of Kora who rolled her eyes at the protective stance. Ares relaxes when he picks up Maddox’s scent only to be tackled and Koro whimpers before knocking Maddox off who falls on his side before licking her face, his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth and Ares jumps on him.
“I thought you were going swimming?” Ezra asks us as Maddox chases after Ares, Kora chasing Maddox as they all play fight. Biting and tugging on each other.
“Dude what’s wrong with Maddox, I‘m not sure if he is playing or trying to hurt me” Mateo says as Ares gets tackled again.
“He’s mucking around,” Ezra says.
“Well that’s a first since Kat arrived,” Mateo says.
“He used to muck around with Ares all the time,” Ezra says.
“Yeah but he hasn’t in ages” Mateo says. Kora lays down watching them and resting her head on her paws.
“You still want to go swimming, or do you want to do something else?” Ezra asks and Maddox comes over flopping on his side, he nips at her ear tugging on it until she becomes annoyed with him and nips him making Ezra laugh.
“You guys go swimming, I still need to try to fix my car” Mateo says and Ares turns around only for Maddox to grab his tail and jerk him back.
“Come swimming, Ezra can help you later” Maddox gravelly voice says through the link.
“You okay?’ Kora asks him, licking his face.
“Yes, kitty” He purrs at her and she nips his face, eyeing him suspiciously and so was I. Did he have a brain transplant? Did his alter ego drop dead? Ares turns around sniffing him and I along with Kora nearly choke on our own spit when Maddox licks his face.
“Yeah don’t do that again Maddox” Ezra says. Ares licks Maddox cheek back.
“Okay that’s it give me control back you black B*stard. I am not watching you lick my friend” Ezra says.
“Hey you were the one that has been curious, not me” Maddox says as he shifts back, both me and Ares looking at him while Ezra’s face turns red.
“I am not curious, he just took it out of context” Ezra says and Kora jumps up putting her paws on his chest, he ruffles her fur.
“Do you have any idea what’s going on with him?” Mateo links me and Kora turns her head looking at Ares before looking back at Ezra.
“No idea” I tell him, his actions so out of the ordinary when Kora jumps down before looking at Ares again, she sniffs him before licking him.
‘Kora!’ I shriek to her horrified she would do that especially with Ezra right there. Ares steps away from her before he suddenly shifts back and Mateo stumbles backwards away from her. I try to force control back but she shoves me back and just looks at Ezra who sits down on the grass confusing me and poor Mateo.
“That isn’t funny Ezra” Mateo tells him.
“I’m not trying to be funny Mateo, it is what it is” Ezra says with a shrug. I try to pull on the veil and take back control before she does something she can’t undo. Or gets Mateo killed by Maddox when she jumps up at Mateo, her paws going to his chest and brushes her fur while looking at Ezra confused. I could practically see the cogs turning in his head and they were spinning violently in mine.
