Chapter 16.1

Sam shares his day with The Dire, but just focuses on the important parts, like the meeting at The Firm. He tells him about the three elite vampires that were brutally murdered by werewolves; two at their homes and one at The Firm, two nights ago. From there, he shares his findings, saying that 7 werewolves were on the scene. 2 werewolves per vampire, one to take down and the other to bite off their necks. However, with further investigation, he shares that there was another vampire there leading or aiding the werewolves. They detected his cologne and concluded that he must be a vampire because no 'Norms' are permitted on the property, and werewolves would never wear cologne. Plus, that elite vampire had to be out there meeting with someone they knew. He also shared his omega's findings that the werewolves themselves are from the Portland pack, run by Jeffrey Combs. Sharing all the details, he looks over at Sasha and then tells The Dire that she came out and shared the vampire community with her new power.

The Dire takes it all in and says, "Since you know who done this. What's your next step? Are you going to confront Jeffrey and his pack?"

Looking at the Dire with surprise, Sam says, "No, that would be too easy. The hard part is figuring out who the ring leader is within the vampire community and put an end to his reign of terror. If I take care of Jeffrey and his pack now, then the vampire in charge will slip away and find someone else to do his dirty work. It's best to search for him first, before dealing with Jeffrey. Plus, I have to know why would a vampire kill his own kind; and what is his motive?"

The Dire laughs at his brother's statement, but clearly sees that his laughter is hurting their feelings. Slowly he stops laughing, and says, "I apologize, brother and my mate. I am not laughing at you or the statement, but the situation. You see, that's why I chose you, Sam. You have heart; any fool can stop the war, but you want to dig deeper. Why is that, I wonder?"

Sam nods his head and says, "You're right, by the way. The real menace here is the vampire, cause he's using the werewolves for his own purpose. Sure, I can defeat Jeffrey and stop his pack from killing more vampires. But this vampire can easily find someone else to carry out his plans. I don't like it."

The Dire says, "Precisely, that's the test. The Firm could of easily sweep this under the rug and/or try taking care of it themselves. Bringing you into the fold allows them to avoid humiliation or embarrassment from the Elders. Technically, they are using you as a scapegoat if you fail. You're seeing the bigger picture. Here's a question for you; why do you care about these vampire killings?"

Sam looks at The Dire with a confused look and says, "Because my first mate is a vampire, for starters. Second, my whole family are vampires, and I care for them dearly. Just because they drink blood to survive doesn't mean they are killers or rogues, who have only one thing on their mind: their next meal. As I tell my mate, she's on a different plane of existence. However, she still has the human element to her. Without it, she would be seen as a monster. Those monsters are rogues; they don't care about their human side. All they care about is feeding."

The Dire looks at him and says, "Precisely. Every supernatural being used to be human in their lives. However, certain individuals are upsetting the balance by killing their own. My question to you is, what changed your thoughts on this subject? Clearly, something in your past changed you in such a way to look at this situation differently. What was it?"

Sam looks at The Dire and then at his slut. Nodding his head, he says, "The triplets. They were unique and clearly weren't rogues. However, I did my job and eliminated them, but listened to their story. That alone changed my views. Now I look at these missions differently, and I look to see if the human element exists before killing them. If it does, then maybe they have a chance at redemption, but unfortunately, sometimes it doesn't turn out as expected."

Nodding his head, The Dire says, "The triplets, indeed. You might not see this, Sam, but every job you took brought you to this spot. Yes, those triplets changed the game. They weren't rogues, and they were so close to being elite. They found their humanity again, but you, in the end, did your job. You're right, that mission changed you; it told you that anyone can be redeemed. You tried recently, but it failed. Yet you're still willing to try. Why?"

Sam looks over at him and shrugs his shoulders. He says, "If I am supposed to be the prophesied werewolf and bring the factions together. Wouldn't it be prudent to have a mixed pack to prove that we can indeed work together for a common goal, which is..peace?"

The Dire puts his head down and says, "Genius. I have chosen well. You started your pack with a Vampire, a Norm, and an Omega. Now you have two betas in the wind and more women on the outskirts. Your first mate won't be the only vampire in it; there will be others. With each job, your pack will grow, brother. Whether it will be people or knowledge." Taking a moment to collect his thoughts, he continues, "You see, you were on the right path with the jobs, but it wasn't clear enough for you to see. Your mates saw it but you didn't, hence why you came to me for guidance. So that's why I proposed this test for you, to test your thoughts and what's important to you. Clearly, we're on the same page. As for your new job at the Firm, your first mate is correct in her assumptions. The Firm may hide things to save their own asses, but there are other ways to get the information you seek. Be creative, my brother, and seek that vampire traitor. Only you can serve him justice. Any questions before I go?"

Sam looks at his slut and says, "My first mate revealed her secret; was that a wise decision?"

The Dire looks at Sasha and then at his brother. He then says, "It's hers to make. Your mate is growing every day, Sam. She grows stronger too, because of the essence she takes and your bond. She can't hide who she is forever. Same thing goes for you." He turns to look at each of them and then hears his mate speak for the first time in this meeting. Turning to her, he waits.

Sasha speaks up and asks, "I have a question if I may, Master..."

The Dire looks over at her and says, "I am not your Master. He is. We are mates, you and I."

Sasha giggles at that, but asks, "Well, my mate, I was wondering if I can pass on my unique ability as a Daywalker?"

The Dire nods his head and says, "Good question, my mate. The answer is yes and no. Yes, if you give your blood freely, but it has a time limit of consumption. Like anything else in life. Now, if someone drains you dry, with permission, it still follows the same rule. However, if they don't have your permission, then it's only blood. It has to be with your permission for it to work. Does that make sense?"

Sasha nods her head and says, "Thanks, I just wondered. I have a small request."

The Dire smiles and says, "Yes?"

Sasha grins back, feeling a sort of nervous, but says, "From one supernatural to another, may I hug you. I understand that you and my master are one of the same, but thank you for this gift and our bond with one another. Also, thanks for accepting me as your first mate. Truthfully speaking, I had no problems with being your slave."

The Dire raises his eyes to her last statement. Shrugging his shoulders, he says, "Only if under one condition, and that is, you continue to support my brother. He has much to learn and yet he's my chosen."

Sasha looks over to her Master. She smiles and says, "I will, always, because I love him. He's my everything."

The Dire nods his head and trots over to her. Putting his head down, he feels her embrace as she wraps her arms around his neck and on his shoulders. He hears her whisper, 'Thanks for everything. You gave me a second chance at life. I will never forget this and glad to have met you in person.' The Dire lifts his head and peers into her eyes. Closing his, he leans his forehead to hers. In doing so, he has a silent conversation with her. He says, "No, the honor is mine, my mate. Our love for you is strong, and he's correct. We can't do any of this without you in it. Your his first love and sadly, his weakness. Support each other and continue down the path. Your love will embrace others. Remember that, my mate." As he pulls his head from hers.

Sasha blinks and says, "I will, my mate."

The Dire looks at both of them, and says, "I bid you farewell to the both of you. I can sense you have more questions, brother, but I can't answer all of them. You need to find your own answers. I will see you again when it's necessary." With that, he turns around and trots back into the black, but stops. He turns his head around and says, "Give my regards to your second mate. I look forward to meeting her real soon."

The last statement has Sam pondering, 'Which mate is he referring to? Is it Tessa or Heather?' Looking up, he watches his brother disappear into the black. Turning to his slut, he says, "What happened between you two when the Dire pressed his forehead to yours, cause it was a lot longer than a couple of seconds?"

Sasha looks over at him and says, "Didn't you hear what he said?"

Sam shrugs his shoulders and says, "It wasn't for me to hear. I know he said something to you, but I heard nothing. Just curious."

Smiling, Sasha shrugs a shoulder and says, "He just shared his feelings and told me that our love will embrace others. It was a unique experience and somehow I feel closer to him, even though you are the same person. Just feel more connected to you being here, Master. And after tonight, more so." She puts her head down to think but raises it to say, "I would love to stay, but I need to feed and get ready for our next mission. Sweet dreams, my love. By the way, your other lovers are sleeping next to you. So you're not alone. See you in the real, Master." Leaning forward, she kisses his lips before standing up. Looking down at him, she says, "Love you." She then turns around and heads back into the black to give him time to rest and dream if he wants.

Sam watches her leave and sends his love through the bond. Sitting there, he re-evaluated what just transpired here tonight. He's glad that he passed the test, but still more work ahead to solve the mystery. But again, he realizes he's no longer alone on this. He has a harem of smart and intelligent women to back him up. Thinking about his next mission or job tomorrow, he wonders if these rogues are blood thirsty or have found their humanity and looking to be redeemed. He failed the first time, but this time, he has his Omega with him. Guess will find out either way; when it happens. Best to close off your thoughts and meditate. Let your concerns and thoughts dwindle and let the black consume you. He needs rest until random flashes pop into his head from what his slut mentioned last night. His mind's eye grows big and asks himself, 'Is it really possible for another werewolf to shift into hybrid form?'

* * * * *

Sasha pulls herself out of her meditation and looks to her right, seeing Tessa has turned and cuddling up to her. She looks to her left, and sees her Master, resting comfortably. It's a great feeling being surrounded by people that you care for and love. Plus the warmth between these two people. She actually felt like a 'Norm' once again, because it felt so surreal. It was a happy moment for her, but reality sets in and she has to get things ready for her loved ones. Turning to her left, she stares at him and takes in his handsomeness as her feelings for him grow. Smiling to herself, she feels so blessed to have him; all of him, really as a mate. Granted, she has to share him, but he always comes back to fulfill her needs. They both consider themselves lucky, as they both feel they have found their true soul mate, but for her, they are indeed bonded. Reaching out to caress his cheek and comb through his locks, she stares at him. With a whisper, she says, "I am so lucky to have you, Master. Love you so much. Sweet dreams, Master." As she leans in to give a quick peck on his cheek. Looking over at him, she sees Vivian cuddling up next to him. Biting her lip, she wishes she could stay and enjoy the heated oasis, but she has a few things to get done before waking them up.

Before she gets up, she turns to her sister Tessa and gives her a quick kiss as well. Smiling to herself, she brings her arms in and rises. Crawling out is tough, but she does it with ease. Once out of bed, she throws on her sheer kimono and leaves the room. She descends the stairs, walks into the Study and heads downstairs to the basement to get a bite to eat. From there, she unlocks the vault on the left to pull out her Master's gear, including his sword, bag of goodies and his clothing with boots. Once done, she heads upstairs, placing the sword and his bag close to the garage door. She takes up the rest of the gear up to the master suite. Wrapping the surrounding belt, she heads back downstairs to prepare breakfast for her lovers. Pulling out all the fixings, she gets started on the eggs, bacon and whatnot. Once everything's cooked, she puts everything in a glass Tupperware container, and then set-up the breakfast nook. From there, she heads back upstairs to wake up her lovers, starting with Tessa, followed by Vivian. And, of course, they give their man a three-woman blowjob to wake him from his stupor. After sharing his essence between each of them, she smiles over at him and says, "Morning, Master. Everything is ready for our mission this morning." Looking at her sisters, she continues, "I also prepared breakfast for all of you. So when you're ready, head downstairs and take your fill. I will be down shortly. " But before she lets them go, she leans in and gives each of the lovers a kiss on the lips. First it's Vivian, followed by Tessa. She saves the last kiss for her Master, and immediately opens herself to him. The kiss alone is passionate as she presses her body against his. Smiling, she asks, "Did you sleep well, my love?"

Sam smiles between her kiss and says, "I did actually, however I did have a vision of sorts. I thought about the words you mentioned from your premonition the other night and had one of my own." Before reaching out to bring her into a hug. Looking over at her, he asks, "Did you have a good time invading my dreams?"

Sasha rolls her eyes and says, "You make it sound like I implanted and changed your dream entirely but all I did is come in to say 'Hi'. For me, it's still unreal, but glad to meet and hug the Dire. No one could top that, I don't think."

Sam looks over at her and says, "You do a lot more than hug me every day. But overall I get it and it made you feel very special." Taking a deep breath, he continues, "Ready for this job?"

Nodding her head, Sasha says, "I am, Master. Just surprised our bounty is regarding twins, and it's from the same sire as the triplets. It just seems like coincidence. We were just talking about it with the Dire last night." Shrugging her shoulders, she says, "Whatever the case may be, it's still a job. I am holding you up. You better get a move on if we want to bypass that traffic to Brea. I will try to suppress my urge to jump you." She says with a laugh.

Sam looks over at her and says, "Thanks so much for looking out for me, slut. But you're right, we should get underway soon. Wonder what this job will bring, people or knowledge? Guess we'll find out once we get there." Leaning forward, he kisses his slut's lips once more before sliding out of the bed to relieve himself and getting dressed.

After getting dressed, Sam leaves his slut to her own devices. He heads downstairs to get his quick bite to eat. Upon entering, he sees his two other lovers digging into their meals with zest. Conversation is at a minimum. Vivian focuses on the essentials, like eggs, bacon, and sausage links. Whereas Tessa focuses on essentials, plus the sweets, like Danishes. Smiling at her as she takes a bite of her Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. Seeing her shake her head as the sugary treat melts into her mouth. Smiling, he grabs a plate and scoops out a large portion of scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage links. Seeing a bowl of untouched apples, Sam grabs one before sitting down.

Eating his meal, he notices they're staring at him from time to time while they eat their meal. Shaking his head, he continues to eat by shoving a piece of bacon into his mouth. Finishing his meal, he gets up to clean his plate. Looking at his lovers, he asks, "Are you both finished?" Seeing their nods, he takes their plate and washes them with his. Suddenly, he hears both chairs being pushed back, and he looks over at his shoulder. He sees same look in their eyes, like they want to pounce on him once again. Shrugging his shoulders, he continues to clean up and pack up the leftovers, but it's clear on their faces that they're riled up on something.

Sasha enters the kitchen and sees the scene unfold. Seeing the looks on her sisters' faces tells her they are hungry again, and it's not food. Taking a deep breath in through her nose, she picks up his pheromones, and it's very potent again. Walking into the kitchen, she addresses her sister Vivian, since she's lot closer to Master than Tessa. She asks, "Vivian, dear. Are you coming with us for this job?"

The question pulls Vivian from her pheromone induced hunger and back to reality. She looks over at her sister and says, "Sorry, I can't. To get Wednesday evening and Thursday off, I have to open today, close tomorrow and open on Wednesday. It sucks, but I have to do what I got to do. I wish all of you good luck." Tilting her head to the side, she looks at her sister standing in a button-up trench coat. She then asks, "What are you hiding underneath that trench coat?"

Giving her sister a grin, Sasha says, "Wouldn't you like to know? Usually it's a secret and only opens it up when Master starts the job. You don't know this, sis. But I dress up for our man every mission/job, to entice him and keep him on his toes. Since you're not going with us, might as well show you all. I have a feeling it will entice you all." All eyes are on her as she unbuttons her trench coat. Holding the edges of the coat, she smiles before throwing open the coat. She's standing there wearing a leather corsage with shoulder straps that zippers from the front. It's unique cause the sides of the corsage are tied like shoelaces to keep the back and front together.. Below, she's wearing a black leather panty with a zippered front. It has adjustable suspenders in the front and the back to support and attached to her black thigh stockings with horizontal slits that run from the thigh all down her leg in the back. Sasha slides off the trench coat from her shoulders and does a slow turn to show her lovers her outfit. Seeing all eyes on her, turns her on and sure helps Master from getting pounced.

Sam's jaw hits the floor as he peers at his slut. The leather corsage, and panty mold to her body. There are no gaps, and from the looks of things, it looks like a size smaller on her. But all in all, she looks like sex personified. Reaching out to her, he says, "God, slut. Are you trying to give your Master a heart attack? But damn, you look good. I think you out done yourself."

Sasha looks over at him and gives him a warm smile. She then says, "Thanks for the compliment, Master. I do aim to please. Glad my attire makes you happy. And from the looks of things, our lovers love it too. Now their eyes are on me and no longer looking at you with uncontrollable desire. Glad to have helped." With that said, she throws back on the coat and buttons it back up.

Looking over at her sisters, she gives them a smile but says, "We're heading out in 10 minutes. Tessa, your back up and if you like, you can bring your tablet. Vivian, I guess this is goodbye for now; are you coming back tonight or we'll see you Wednesday evening?"
