Whitepaw Revival Ch 07

Hi readers,

I've greatly appreciated all the feedback and comments, I think I may have abandoned this by now if not for your kind words.

My significant other has not read any of my writing despite me asking several times, they have a lot going on right now and life is complicated so I dont resent it, but it sure has tanked my motivation.

I want to let you know that after this chapter my posting may slow down significantly. I've been writing as the inspiration strikes me, and when I feel called to it. I think if I push myself to maintain a regular release schedule this may start to feel like a chore and frankly that would kill my motivation further.

So thank you all for your support.

Anyway, I'm definitely continuing to write this story and I have a clear picture in mind of where I want to take it and how I want to finish it off. Just might take me a little while to get there, I appreciate your patience.

Cheers, FWT

ps. next couple chapters will be more spicy than the last few.

pps. @ppfzz, Not sure exactly how many chapters this will end up being but I would guesstimate 15-20, theres a fair bit rolling around in my head now that most of the setup is done. That would make it 80-100k words total. ;)

Chapter 7

Isaac surfaced from the depths of sleep to a heavenly feeling below the waist, he groaned appreciatively at the hot wet suction being applied to his cock and the slender fingers gently massaging his balls.

As he rose toward wakefulness he reached a hand down and threaded his fingers through Cass's hair, not controlling her movements at all, just letting her know he was awake and appreciating her efforts.

She pulled the covers back and sat up slightly, removing her mouth but not pausing the movement of her hands as she grinned up at him.

"Good morning handsome, I didn't get my dessert last night so I thought I'd get some cream for my coffee this morning instead."

"Yes ma'am, whatever you wish."

Cass smirked at the control she had over him with his junk in her hands, then paused and cocked her head.

"Actually... I want to try something." She let him go and stood up on her knees between his legs, showing she was completely nude. Then she began to shift, her arms lengthening, her face and skull stretching and growing, her muscles bulged and fur raced along her skin from head to toe, and a moment later she was in full war form.

With a gravelly husk she demanded he shift as well, and he complied without delay.

Now both in their furred warforms Cass knee walked up his body, the bed barely creaking despite the increased weight, and straddled his mid section. She then grabbed the sides of his head and leaned down to tangle their tongues together.

The long slippery muscles battled for dominance between them, pushing and pulling in and out of each others mouths until with a growl Cass reached back and ripped his boxers off.

Without breaking their kiss she slid her hips back pressing against his shaft, already free of its sheath, before capturing his hard war cock between her butt cheeks and proceeding to gyrate her hips up and down, dragging his shaft against her silky wetness and pucker.

She continued this way for minutes until Zack ran out of patience for her teasing, rolling her onto her back and mounting her with his cock pressed hard against her mons for a long moment as he growled, nipping at her bottom lip and rocking his hips back to position himself at her entrance.

Her reaction was to throw her legs up and around his hips and pull him forwards, sheathing the first few inches of him in her soaking pussy.

She gave a mewling growl and threw her head back into the pillow exposing her lightly furred throat to Isaac.

Isaac opened his toothy maw and firmly but carefully took hold of her throat with his teeth, he snarled and tightened his grip as he ever so slowly sank his warforms' prodigious girth into his mate.

Though only a few seconds that first slow thrust felt like an eternity to Cass, her claws scrabbled at the sheets beneath her and breathing shallowly to not jostle his razor sharp fangs on her soft throat.

She enjoyed being in control during sex, on top and in charge was where she had always wanted to be with her previous partners, but with Zack she felt like that need for control and power over her partner had drained away.

She knew Zack liked it when she took control, mounting herself on his pole and riding him for all she was worth, but under the surface she knew instinctively that he was every bit her match and more, and she only had that control with his allowance.

At any time he could flip the table, push her down and take what was his, and she would welcome his dominance and power with open arms.

She trusted him with Her everything and surrendered utterly, secure in the knowledge that he would love and care and fight for her with HIS everything.

'An equal exchange, but he is my Alpha' was the last cohesive thought she mustered for a time as Isaac sped up, thrusting hard and fast and deep into her, stoking the building flames of her desires to new heights.

The pressure grew and grew within her, he released her throat from his teeth and in tender contrast to his frenzied thrusting gently licked at her soft throat, then kissed and nibbled his way to her ear.

The pressure built to a towering peak as his lips brushed her furred ears and he whispered in his deep growling voice, the rumbling breathy tone going straight to her heart and igniting the pressure within her with a single word.

"MINE."

She erupted, with a keening howl when the pressure burst deep within her, an eruption of fluids soaked their nethers and just when she thought her quivering body could give her no greater sensation his hands were under her shoulders pulling her up for his teeth to clamp down on her shoulder, right over the circle of silver scars that signified their mating bond, her mate swelled within her and they imploded together.

Her world contracted to pure pleasure, white light filled her vision, her ears were drowned with the rushing of blood, her nose full of her mates hot musk, the taste of his lips on her tongue, and the rapturous pleasure of their souls touching in that moment of ecstasy.

Isaac came down from the high first and moved her limp form from under him. He held Cass close, her furry cheek resting on his chest, she mumbled incoherently for a time before going quiet and drifting back to sleep.

Isaac basked in the joy of a full heart for a while but there was dim morning light peeking through the gaps in the curtains and he had an appointment to keep, so he carefully extracted himself from her embrace without disturbing her and snuck away for a quick shower. It wouldn't do to stink of sex while on a run with Bella.

Before leaving he brushed his lips against her temple, whispered his love in her ear and made sure she was snugly ensconced in her blanket cocoon.

A dreary overcast morning greeted him outside, the sun only making occasional appearances through gaps in the cloud cover. Not seeing Bella outside he started working through his morning routine, stretching and limbering up.

A sleepy looking Bella emerged from the house and stripped unashamedly with a yawn.

"You know that showering to get the smell off means nothing when your mates' howls wake the entire house anyway, right?" She quipped with a sleepy smirk.

"Just trying to be considerate of your nose, Bella. Hey, can I ask, how do packs' handle nudity? You seem very comfortable stripping off in the open?" If Isaac was honest with himself he was finding it rather difficult to avert his eyes. Bella was one hell of a curvy package and he would be lying to say he didn't find her incredibly attractive. He was gentlemanly enough to avert his gaze but damn, it was a challenge even after the intense release he had shared with Cass earlier.

"Well yeah, we're constantly stripping to shift so why would we be bothered about being naked amongst pack?

You can look, I don't mind, I know I'm gorgeous. Just don't crack an awkward boner." she giggled at the last part and with a raised eyebrow she flipped her hair over her shoulder and cocked a hip.

Isaac pointedly maintained eye contact and frowned. Then shrugged a 'what the heck' and stripped naked.

He didn't miss the widening of Bella's eyes as she looked him up and down, and had to fight hard to keep a smirk off his face. He also caught a whiff of a scent he had come to know well from his interactions with Cass, arousal.

'Evidently she likes what she sees, haha'

"Alright then, let's go," he said before shifting and bounding into the trees.

They ran at a solid pace, following game trails and creeks, Bella maintaining her position a short distance off his left shoulder and this time slowing down and turning to change their path instead of trying to push him in any given direction.

After a time their path meandered up hill, and they approached the rock promontory of the previous day from above the short cliff face it jutted out beneath.

Isaac shifted and sat on the rocky edge, letting the sun warm his back. Bella padded quietly up beside him but didn't shift, he looked over his shoulder at her curiously. 'Wonder if she's embarrassed now.' he mused to himself.

"This is a lovely spot. Thanks for showing me how to get here directly."

She nodded her furred head and looked out over the pond for a few minutes, while Isaac found himself appreciating the sheen of her soft fur in the morning light.

They continued their run shortly, Isaac leading the way for a while, circling the reserve in a tighter arc than he had on previous days.

He spotted a clearing in the distance and trotted up to it finding a wide open space with level ground and short trees and bushes scattered across it, it took a few moments for him to realise that this was actually the site of the old compound.

This was the place his parents and the entire pack were massacred.

He felt a tightness in his chest as he stood in the tree line watching the breeze sway the trees across the field, and a soft whimper bubbled up and escaped his chest.

Soft fur brushed against his shoulder as Bella leaned against him, looking out over the field at his side. There was no way he was going to shift so they could talk here. If he did he was sure he would end up a blubbering mess in no time, instead he stood stoically and took comfort in the warmth of her quiet presence.

When his emotions settled and the tightness in his chest began to recede he turned to his right and trotted slowly to his right, circling the open space. He paused several times and stared at the barren field, and each time Bella stood nearby, making no attempt to hurry him or distract from his introspection.

Finally, he turned away and returned to his exploration of the pack lands. Bella took one more look across the clearing before she too turned away and loped off after Isaac.

__________________________

Isaac and Bella settled into a routine, running together in the mornings, occasionally joined by Jasmine and Cass, they found several sites of interest and marked several game trails and dens in their travels, but consistently visited the lake promontory on each outing.

Bella shifted and sat with him on the cliff edge each time, now that the ice was broken she began to loosen up and talk with him candidly.

She was still quite prickly in general, bratty he would say. She enjoyed needling him about things he was embarrassed by, though she avoided anything to do with the compound or the pack history, and seemed to have an endless supply of ammunition from the stories that Cass continued to share with her of an evening. The girls sat in the lounge room together often of an evening most nights now.

He kept a level head and refused to rise to her provocations, which seemed to frustrate her quite a lot, he figured turnabout was fair play.

The rest of his days were spent working on the pack holdings with Jasmine, training and sparring with all three of the ladies, and researching pack law and the rules and expectations of the shifter council.

It was some five days after his first run with Bella when Cass pulled him into their room for a private conversation.

Cass sat cross legged on the bed and motioned for him to lay down and put his head in her lap, she idly stroked and played with his hair as she spoke, "Zack, this last few weeks have been great. Getting to have some time out, making new friends with the girls, who are both awesome by the way, getting comfortable with the change I've gone through and our new relationship, it's been fun as much as it was necessary.

"Now, I get the feeling that the girls are ready to make a decision, they haven't said as much or anything but I can see the change in them. They both like you and they're comfortable with you, and I wanted to talk to you before we get to the point where you have to make choices about how to move forward."

Cass took a steadying breath before continuing and Zack maintained his silence, looking up at her pretty eyes through a curtain of her hair.

"I'm okay with you having multiple mates. I was worried at first, but seeing the way you've been spending time with us and just, being yourself, that's put a lot of my worries aside. You have a big heart and I think there's enough room in it for all three of us. I wanted to tell you that clearly, so you can hear what the girls have to say when they're ready, without worrying about you and me."

Isaac turned his head and kissed one of her knees gently. "Okay Cass, I'll do my best. I still feel a bit conflicted about it... trying to be a good partner to more than one person at a time is daunting, but your trust means a hell of a lot to me."

"Good. I trust you to do the right thing for all of us.

Okay, with that out of the way, onto the next thing.

I'm ready to get back to work Zack.

This has been a great holiday but I can't stand still, I don't know if any of the pack businesses need a marketing person or whatever but I need to be doing something. If it's okay with you I'll join you and Jaz tomorrow to talk it through and if we can't find something with the pack I'll start looking around for a job locally, or remote work or something."

"Okay, Cass. Whatever you need."

"Good. Then the last thing; you need to decide what you want the pack's future to look like. What's the goal? What does this pack look like in twenty years time? What are we working towards every day? You need to answer those questions and more, because as Alpha you're going to be calling the shots and I'm not going to let you waffle your way through this."

Isaac chuckled. He had already been thinking about the pack's future quite a bit, he was getting a bit fidgety with standing still, as much as Cass was.

It all boiled down to what he envisioned their future looking like, but it started with the sisters' decision. He said as much to Cass and while she agreed she also reinforced her opinion on him being prepared and planning for either eventuality.

'We have a lot of work to do and we're not even a pack yet, we have only four of us!'

Zack went for a long run on his own that afternoon, he needed to clear his head.

________________

Bella fought like a demon, she clawed and bit and lashed out from odd angles with unexpected strikes. She was fast, stronger than she looked, and absolutely ruthless.

Isaac rotated his hips to protect his groin from a sharp front kick that she snapped at him from her tiptoes while she was recovering from blocking one of his heavy jabs.

She had succeeded in connecting with his plums precisely once with a slapping kick that he'd misjudged, thinking it was intended for his midsection when she dropped her knee and struck lower instead. He certainly wasn't going to let that happen again, he was still feeling mildly nauseous from the first time.

When her foot connected with rock hard muscle instead of soft man-parts Bella began to quickly retract her foot but she wasn't fast enough.

Zack got a hand on her ankle and lifted, instead of dumping Bella onto her back where he could mount a grapple she went with the motion and kicked her other leg forward performing an acrobatic backflip.

Isaac was impressed with her physicality but also disappointed with her choice as he stepped forward while she was still mid air, planted his feet, torqued his hips and drove a right straight into her solar plexus just as her feet touched the earth.

Her legs folded and she landed squarely on her bum with a wheezing exhale.

When she'd caught her breath she exclaimed with a shaky voice, "You're still not going full speed, clearly I'm not good enough to push you that hard."

"Are you kidding me? Technically you're a mess but you're stupid fast and unpredictable. The way you move, it's like you don't have any bones!" Isaac was gobsmacked, they'd been sparring each day for a few days now and she kept pulling out ridiculous and unexpected movements. Some of them, like the backflip, were little more than unwise gymnastics but others were the kind of thing that would get one kicked out of an MMA tournament. She was quite happy going for the eyes, throat and groin in order to win.

The four of them had briefly switched to sparring in their war forms, but with the way Bella fought they shifted back promptly. She was properly dangerous with claws and teeth, too dangerous for spars and training fights in his opinion. They healed faster than humans, but losing an eye would still suck.

Bella dusted herself off and stood, "I'm gonna go for a swim at the lake, be back in an hour or so." Then took off into the tree line.

"Huh, guess she wanted some alone time." Isaac mumbled as she disappeared amongst the foliage.

"I'll keep you company handsome." Cass piped up, then squared up across from him and took a boxing stance.

They sparred and talked for a while and were just about to head in for a shower when all three of them heard a howl in the woods, close to the clearing. Something about the sound set Isaacs teeth on edge, and he instinctively knew that howl was not from one of his pack.

With adrenaline coursing through his veins Zack was about to shift and race into the trees when Jasmine put her hand on his shoulder, he looked over at her and she looked into the woods for a long moment before she spoke.

"Wait, that howl is familiar and I'm pretty sure I know who it is."

Within seconds Bella came crashing out of the undergrowth at a sprint, her paws churning the earth. Zack stepped forward, Jasmine not stopping him this time, and Bella didn't stop until she was right beside Zack.

She shifted immediately and breathlessly exclaimed, "Aerin and his douchebag squad are here."

In her human form Isaac could now see clearly a pair of parallel gashes in the meat of her shoulder, weeping a trickle of blood down her arm. His reaction was immediate and instinctual, before he even realised it was happening he was in his war form with his gym shorts a tattered mess on the ground.

Bella took a step backwards from him as a low rumble thundered from his chest and his lips pulled back in a snarl.

He caught himself and with a deep breath managed to get his rage under control.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's just a scratch. There's five of them including Aerin, they snuck up on me while I was swimming but I managed to get away." She said as she stepped back towards Zack now that he'd calmed. Zack tenderly reached out, ignoring her nudity entirely and gently lapped at her wounds.

Jasmine cleared her throat and spoke when she was sure she had Isaac's attention, "They shouldn't be here, they can't be on another pack's land without approval from that pack's Alpha or by going to a designated meeting place.
