The Unclaimed Human Luna
Chapter 86

Conner POV

Conner was glad that Xavier wasn’t here in the pack. He knew El was good friends with him and was likely to stay that way. That she had not only accepted him, but also told him she loved him, he knew that she loved him as well. He was just jealous, he supposed, and still didn’t like that Xavier had wanted her for himself. Was likely going to be jealous all the time, of any others looking at her.

He’d not minded Collin hugging her at all, he’d gotten to know him over the past few weeks and while he’d been searching for El in Italy. Collin had not minded that Cordi had been texting him about El, or that he, Conner, had texted her back either. Over the past few months he’d been looking for her.

It also helped that Collin was mated to her best friend, and therefore of no concern to him at all. That man was always with Cordi, and from what El had told him, they were inseparable. Even off to Uni to study the same thing, all their classes lined up, did everything together.

He’d looked at El, could happily do that himself with her, she’d just shaken her head and asked him what he wanted to study, not to study something he didn’t like, just to spend time with her. It wasn’t like he couldn’t talk to her anytime he wanted to either. She had even managed to get out of him what he actually wanted to study for himself. Hadn’t really thought about it in a long time, knew his father wouldn’t consider it, so was trying not to think about it at all, most of the time.

Architecture was what he truly wanted, not business and finance like his father wanted him to, but he did have to admit that those two degrees would help him start up an architecture company, which was his plan, just something small at first and let it grow over the years. As all Packs did, every generation would inherit the company and keep it going, until it was a massive conglomerate, worth millions, and well recognised in the future.

He also knew that both Adam and Cameron wanted to go into advertising, and Brayden actually wanted to study psychology, and get his PHD as well. That man was going to be at university for a long time. But he wanted to be able to not only help calm pack members, but help them with dealing with trauma as well. Loss and grief, he was going to make for a hell of a Gamma. It also suited his Mate Emily. She wanted to be a doctor, so the two of them would happily study together.

El just smiled at him when he’d told her what he wanted to study, chuckled, and said, “Is that why you’re always walking around the suite looking at it?” He’d smiled and nodded, had always liked coming here to think about what he wanted in here, how he would change it and decorated it.

Watching her sit with Cordi and laugh about things that were going on back home, he could see just how closely bonded to Cordi she was. They were practically inseparable for that entire afternoon and evening. They stayed up late and watched a movie in the theatre and then stood around chatting on the first floor for nearly an hour, about nothing in particular, just this and that. Before Collin picked Cordi up himself and stated “Night.” Carried her off to their room, while Cordi laughed and waved at them, he’d had enough, it seemed.

El had chuckled and murmured “He just wants to take her to bed.”

Conner had chuckled softly “Can’t blame the man, she’s his Mate and he loves her. Now how about we go to bed.” He’d smiled right at her.

She’d looked right at him and murmured “Hmm.” Tapped her l*p slowly and seemed to be thinking about it, then said, “I don’t know.”

He’d chuckled she wasn’t going to say no, and he knew it. She never said no, enjoyed going to bed as much as he did. Just liked to tease him. But then shoved him suddenly and so hard that he stumbled and fell over. All of Petal’s strength was behind it, and then she was gone down the stairs at full speed away from him.

He laughed and got up to go after her, chased her right out of the packhouse and off into the woods. He and Atlas knew that they were faster than she and Petal, but loved that she wanted him to chase her. She was laughed as she ran away from him. He was cutting her off a moment later and then chasing her again. This was his favourite thing, chasing her, a game of hunt the prey. He also knew that Petal liked it, she was open to he and Atlas chortling as much as El was laughing. All of them were enjoying this little game she had started.

He chased her all over the woods in the northern part of the pack till they were nice and deep where no one would see them and then just snagged her, pulling her down to the ground and kissed the hell out of her.

She really was made for him, everything about her, even the things she liked; she did like wearing green, liked being out in the woods like he did. Enjoyed being chased as much as he liked chasing her. And though she had gotten her shift, she still had soft curves, nothing hard or lean and muscular about her. He really did love the softness of her curves.

She was the first one to start things with him. More often than not, as much as she was exhausted by him, it was generally El that initiated s*x. She loved touching him now that he belonged to her, he’d come into their suit with Atlas all growly twice this week and he’d not known why until he entered their suite and could smell her.

Damn woman and her toys, she’d smiled at him when he took over with that toy, to enhance her pleasure. She’d told him with a pout that his meeting went too long, and so she thought she’d sort out her own needs, seeing as he wasn’t around to do it for her.

What she didn’t know was that somehow Atlas always knew when she was touching herself, had even known when they’d not scented her out. There was just some sort of connection he didn’t understand, but his wolf just seemed to get all needy all of a sudden. Then he was off hunting her and Atlas was never wrong either, not back then, not now.

He spent several hours out there in the woods pleasing her, touching and kissing her everywhere. He couldn’t bloody get enough of her. Even when he knew she was tired, he wanted more of her. She was all stretched out on top of him, sleeping, draped around him and he was not going to move. She’d wanted to sleep outside last time, so tonight they would do just that.

He was more than comfortable and though summer was over, and Autumn was here, his and her body heat would be all they needed to be comfortable all night. He felt Atlas huff a little inside his mind and smiled to himself, ‘you want to shift and sleep with Petal?’ he asked Atlas, was not going to deny his wolf anything, if it wasn’t for Atlas, he might not have El in his arms or as a Mate at all.

‘Yes.’ Was the simple reply he got.

Conner slid both his hands up into El’s hair. “Baby?”

“Mm,”

He smiled. He loved hearing her so sleepy, “Atlas would like to snuggle up with Petal.”

“Okay.” She nodded against his chest but didn’t move at all.

Conner chuckled softly “In Wolf and Kitsune form.”

“Oh.” Was all he got and then she simply moved off of him and he watched as she shifted into Petal, smiled right at her, reached out and ran a hand over Petals face, couldn’t believe just how soft her fur was, or how damned pretty she was. Saw Petal yawn herself.

Let Atlas shift him to their wolfen form and smiled as he watched his wolf nudge her a little and then run his head all the way down her body as he walked around her, displaying his love and affection for his Mate. She returned the gesture without hesitation and licked his snout before rubbing her head in his chest fur a few times. Atlas purred for her.

Petal settled to the ground and Atlas sank down right behind her, she looked at him for a moment and then nudged him over, so he was lying on his side and curled herself up between his legs. Then all her tails were flicked up and over them both like a blanket.

“That’s how she sleeps inside my mind.” El’s soft sleepy voice came down the mind-link to him.

“It’s very cute.” He smiled. “Back to sleep, baby.” He murmured and knew she would.

Woke up to a frisky Atlas who was already up and awake and nipping and playing with Petal, he shook his head, they were going to mate, and he knew it. Though he also knew that although Petal was playing back with him, nipping him, and nudging and shoving at him, pouncing on him and pulling at his ears and tail, and generally rolling around with him. Atlas was going to have to chase her.

There was no just standing and Mating with Petal. She loved being chased by Atlas, and he always had to catch her before any mating was allowed. Not that his beast minded at all, loved a good hunt and there was nothing better than hunting his own Mate. Though even Conner knew when Atlas cornered her and stepped up to Mate her, his wolf never did until all those tails of hers were wrapped around him.

Atlas loved the feeling of being claimed by his Mate, it was his wolf felt his own Mate’s way of displaying that he was hers, she owned him. Atlas enjoyed this feeling, her holding him to her body as much as he wanted to be there mating her. She wanted it as well, and he knew it. Loved it actually.

It was on just a few minutes later, Petal running full tilt away from Atlas and his wolf in full pursuit of her. Excitement filled his wolf as he watched her sprint away, all her tails streaming out behind her, chased her for nearly an hour, herding her where he knew there was nowhere for her to escape him. Petal didn’t know all of the pack territory yet and Atlas chased her to certain places to corner her to have his way with her. His wolf was as naughty as his own Mate, it seemed.

They were not given back control until the two of them reached the mud room and Conner was shifted back first, opened the door and Petal walked inside, smacked him playfully with all her tails, making him chuckle as she strolled on passed him to shift back to El in the privacy of the mud room. He didn’t mind, didn’t want anyone seeing her naked anyway, that body of hers was for his eyes only.

Smiled down at her as she looked up at him, Petal was a cheeky one, that was for sure. He leaned down and kissed her softly, liked the cheekiness of her Kitsune, didn’t mind that she beat him with her tails on occasion, it was her way of tormenting him just like she did with Atlas. He thought it was her way of showing him she liked him too. “They had a good morning.”

“Only fair, we had a good night.” She chuckled softly “Breakfast?”

“I am hungry.” Conner nodded.

They showered and changed, he’d set up a locker for the two of them where they had clothes all the time for after shifts. He didn’t want her in anyone’s clothes but hers or his. Then they headed for the dining room, where they found Cordi and Collin already up and eating. “Hey, where you been? Adam said you weren’t in your room.”

“Atlas and Petal were out playing.” Conner smiled at her. “El, sit, I’ll get you some breakfast.”

She smiled up at him and did just that. He heard Cordi chuckle “You got that man wrapped around your little finger now, I see.”

“He just loves me. I bet Collin gets you breakfast all the time.”

“Every day.” Cordi laughed “Spoils me rotten.”

Conner put food in front of El and sank down “So what does everyone want to do today? Hit the lake, or laze about?”

“The Lake.” He heard Cordi and Collin state right away.

“I’d like to see it. El was gonna swim it to get out of here if she couldn’t get out. I’m curious as to how big it is, though she did tell me it wasn’t an option at one point.”

Conner stared at her. “You’re kidding right, it’s like 8 miles wide at the largest part.”

“Couldn’t well drive out the gate or walk out, got turned around at every attempt.” She stared at him, and he knew she was right. Couldn’t argue with her on that one.

Conner shook his head, “Is that what you were doing? When you nearly drowned.”

“I didn’t nearly drown and no I was not, I was just swimming that day, got caught in the storm.”

“You nearly drowned, I had to save you.” he muttered. “Scared the bloody hell out of me.”

El snorted, “You didn’t even like me then.”

“Yes, I did, even slept in your bed that night, you just didn’t know.” He half smiled at her, hadn’t told her about that night.

He found El’s eyes right on him now. “What?”

“Mm, the pair of us slept really well that night, and we both looked, and from what I could tell, felt much better that next day.” He smiled right at her “But the cutest thing, was as I walked around the room, away from the bed, your body rolled towards me the entire time. Tracked me in your sleep.”

She sat staring at him with a raised eyebrow “you still do.” He grinned at her, “In your sleep, when I get up to go to training, your sleeping body rolls over towards me as I move about the room. It’s adorable.”

“You lie.”

“I do not.” He chuckled he wasn’t lying “I’ll film it next time. It’s very cute. You’ll love it.”

Both Cordi and Collin were chuckling now. “I’d believe him,” Cordi giggled, “Collin does that when I get out of bed, sometimes have to dodge the hand that reaches out unconsciously for me as well.”

He saw Collin smirk but say nothing, obviously he already knew.
