The Job Offer

Chapter 19.1

All her sisters look at Heather, then to Mistress and then to Sam. They're shocked by her outburst. However, they feel proud that she wants to help do patrols and be with the family. Sam sees their eyes on him and takes a few steps closer to her. With each step, Heather watches and gets nervous. She continues and says, "If shit hits the fan out there, I will listen and follow your orders. Say something. Please!"

Sam kneels down and looks up at her. He says, "Your life is your own. We all watched over you and know your time grows near. I see no fear in your eyes. None of us think you're weak, but we all want to protect you if shit hits the fan, as you say. You were always welcome to join us in patrols. Just glad you finally spoken up." Seeing her eyes soften and tears, he rises off the floor and brings her into a hug. He looks at his mates and says, "She'll ride with me. We'll split up and make it easier. Tessa, take Sasha and Vivian to the Western marker. Tanya, Heather and myself will do Eastern marker. If there are no objections?" Seeing none, he continues, "We leave in 45 minutes. Baby-girl, make sure your wear a light jacket. My body heat will keep you warm out there, but I don't want you to get all scratched up. Are we clear?" Seeing her nod, he slaps her ass lightly and says, "Get upstairs and change. For the record, I am proud of you."

Heather feels his words and they radiate through her body, especially between her thighs. Shaking her head internally, she's soaking wet, and gives him a slight nod before heading upstairs. She feels all eyes on her as she goes.

Sasha reaches out to him and asks, "Are you sure that's right thing to do?"

Turning to his slut, he says, "Probably not, but we can't protect her all the time. You heard her; she wants to be with her family. I can't stop her. You know that. Besides, she'll be safe with me. I would die for her, and would die for anyone of you if I could. That's how much you mean to me. You're..." He lets out a growl.

Instantly, every woman's cunt becomes saturated. All eyes turn to Tessa for clarification.

Tessa says, "Mine. He said, Mine."

All eyes look upon him again with love and devotion. They know he would protect anyone of them because of what they mean to him. 'Mine' is a simple word but for an alpha, it means a lot more. It means everything that they hold dear...

Everyone goes their separate ways, but comes together 45 minutes later in the dining room. Heather's the last to show up. She's all dressed up in black. Black yoga pants, and jacket. Shoes, however, are white. Looking at everyone and sees their smiles. They usually patrol naked, but because they're patrolling early, they're dressed. Sam steps forward and embraces her. Holding her tight, he says, "We're all happy that you're joining us. There was some scepticism, but we worked it out. You look great in all black, baby-girl." Pulling back, he looks at the rest of his mates and asks, "Are we ready to head out?" Seeing the nods, he heads out through the sliding glass doors.

Sasha and Heather are the last ones out of the house. Sasha turns to her sister and says, "Isn't that Tessa's jacket?"

Heather nods her head and says, "Yes, it is. I didn't have any long-sleeved shirts or a jacket for the wilderness. Tessa opted for me to wear her black jacket." Shrugging her shoulder as she said it. Smiling, she continues, "See, Mother, we're becoming a close knit family. Where we share amongst ourselves." Nodding and giving her a smile.

Sasha steps forward and hugs her sister. She then says, "Like Master, I am proud of you, baby-girl. As your Mother, and lover, I worry. I know they'll take care of you, but I do fear the unknown. I wish..."

Hugging her mother tightly, Heather says, "I know, baby. I know I'm sort of fragile, but we're family. Just don't want to be a burden any longer. I know you miss doing patrols. Being with him and your sisters. It's time I stepped up, and once I go through my change, you will never have to babysit me again. We'll all do things together, like it should. I love you, baby."

Sasha feels the tears coming on and says, "I love you too, baby-girl. You changed our lives for the better. Can't thank you enough for what you did for him, and us." Pulling back, she looks at her sister before leaning forward to give her a quick kiss. She mouths out, "I love you."

Heather's beaming and says it back. She sees Sasha staring into space and knows she's having a conversation with someone.

Sasha hears her Master in her mind. He says, 'Stop dawdling. We're already at the edge of the forest and you two are still at the house. I know you're having a moment, but time is precious, and the girls want to get patrols out of the way. Now get yourself and baby-girl here pronto.' Letting out a deep sigh, she turns to baby-girl and says, "Sorry, Master. He wants us at the edge of the clearing where the forest meets. Pronto. So hop onto my back, and I will get there ASAP."

Heather mouths out, "Sorry", but sees her sister shake her head. She hears, 'Not your fault. Let's get going before he growls again. Shall we?' She sees Sasha stoop lower so she can wrap her arms around her neck and legs around her waist.

Sasha, holding her sister's legs, she turns her head and says, "Hang on tight, and enjoy the ride."

Holding on for dear life, Heather watches the scenery pass her by in seconds, but feels the wind blowing her against her face. They come to an abrupt stop at the clearing where the forest begins. The sudden stop startles her, as her heart rate catches up. Smiling, she says, "That was amazing. Can't fathom how fast you were going, even with me on your back. Gosh, I must way a lot, but you made it look easy."

Sasha turns her head and says, "Your weight matters not to an immortal like me, baby. Your Master would say the same thing. Going to let go of your legs now. We'll walk the rest of the way and meet the family. Don't feel ashamed if you can't walk straight or feel unbalanced. Mommy is here for you, baby."

Dropping onto her own two feet, Heather feels a little wobbly, but walks on her own. Grabbing hold of her Mother's hand, she let her lead the way. In the forest, the canopy blocks out any light and it's hard to make out 10 feet in front of her. They walk a ways and she sees silhouettes of her family getting undressed. Walking a little more, she sees her sisters standing in the nude. Smiling, she turns her head to the left and sees him. Biting her bottom lip, she wishes she did this earlier, but back then she had other issues to deal with. Smiling, she watches her sisters shift into their wolf forms.

Sasha turns to Heather and says, "Be safe, sister. See you back at home in an hour or two. Love you, baby." Giving her one more hug and a kiss before walking forward to comb her fingers through Tessa's fur.

Hugging her back, Heather says, "Will do. Be careful, all of you. See you later for cuddles." Seeing their smiles, she watches them race off for the middle marker. Looking to her right, she sees a lone wolf waiting. Kneeling down, she says, "Tanya?" To her surprise, she trots over to rub against her. Combing through her fur, she says, "Love you too, sister. Bet you're getting anxious and want to run like the wind, right?" Seeing the nod, she stands up and looks over at her daddy.

Smiling at the exchange, Sam says, "When we're out there. Don't be frightened, cause we're with you every step along the way. When I shift, I want you to ride me like a horse. Don't worry about grabbing my fur to stay on. I will try to make the run easy for you, but like your Mistress said, 'Just enjoy the ride'. Ready?" Seeing the nod, he walks up to her and says, "Love you." Before he shifts into his wolf form. Hunching down to the floor, he awaits for his baby-girl to straddle him and grab on. He doesn't have to wait long. Feeling her clinging on for dear life makes his heart rate beat a little faster. Turning his attention to his beta-pet, he says, "Ready, Pet?" Seeing her nod, they head out at a trot to the middle marker.

There, they meet up with the rest of the family. Seeing them brings a smile to Heather's face. As her daddy turns right and her mother turns left, she says, "See you all later. May the wind be with you. Love you." She hears her sister growl with their tongues out. Skipping as they go. Snuggling close to daddy, she wishes she could understand them. Hopefully, one day, she will. Turning her attention to her team, she says with a whisper, "Whenever you're ready, daddy. Run like the wind. I will hold on for dear life. Don't want to hold you two up on my count."

Sam shakes his head and yips a little. Trying to tell her, 'She's not a nuisance.' Tanya just rubs against her with her tongue hanging out. Both wolves look at each other and give a nod. Sam lowers himself against the forest floor and launches himself forward. He hears his baby-girl moan and scream with delight as heads to the Easter marker. It's a long trip, but he does his diligence to give her a ride she will never forget.

Jumping over fallen trees and ducking under lower branches, Sam pushes himself faster. Hearing her scream with delight makes his heart flutter with joy. Racing to the Eastern marker, he feels more joy than trepidation. He tells himself, 'One day, we'll all be together. Working as 'One'. Just have to be patient and let things happen.' With a growl, he pushes himself harder and feels Tanya nipping at his heels. When he sees the marker coming up, he slows down to a trot and then a walk. Once there, he lowers himself to the forest floor, so his fiancé can get off.

It takes Heather a moment to understand that they're at the Eastern marker. She's been clinging to him for dear life, and didn't understand that they were here. Feeling him rolling her to the left, she finally understands. Letting go, she falls to the forest floor where her sister comes up and licks her face. Waving her arms out, she says, "Stop. Stop teasing me. I get it. Where here." Sitting down, she stares out into the forest. Without her glasses, she can only see 5 feet in front of her. Shaking her head, she closes her eyes and relies on her other senses. Feeling her sister close by, she reaches over and brings her closer. Combing her fingers through her hair and ruffling her ears, she says, "Glad that you two are with me. I can't see anything, but can hear the forest. It's so surreal. Wish..." She stops herself, cause she doesn't want to alert them what she has planned. Instead, she just rubs her sister and giving her love.

Sam looks over at her and feels her sadness. She wants to fit in like the rest of them. Even though she's a 'Norm', it doesn't discount her. She's an essential part of his team, and his fiancé. Closing his eyes, he feels his heart beating for her. Taking a deep breath, he turns his attention to the forest. Keeping his eyes closed, he uses his other senses to read the forest. Smells have changed little. He can smell some human activity, but that's normal since they're close to Eaton Falls. Taking a breather, he enjoys the ambiance of the forest. Reaching out to his Pet, he asks,

"Enjoying yourself, Pet?"

Tanya snuggles close to her sister and says,

"I am, Master. Just letting my sister know she isn't alone. Wished she finished her sentence, though. I like to know what's on her mind."

Sam replies,

"She wishes to become one of us, a supernatural being. Since joining us, she can't choose which supernatural being to be. So she's letting fate decide for her. It's fast approaching Pet, and I worry. Just hope I can let it happen."

Tanya feels her Master's sorrow and says,

"Trust her as we all do. She knows what she's doing. Smart and strong, she is, because we're all here for her."

Smiling with his tongue out, he says,

"Very insightful, Pet. Thanks for your meaningful words. She's very smart and vivacious. Sometimes I feel like she's the glue that keeps us all together. She's the reason we're out here. To keep the 'Norms' safe Anyway, I sense nothing. Ready to head home?"

Rolling onto her feet, she yips and backs out of her sister's embrace. Jumping slightly to get her sister's attention, she hears, 'Guessing we're done here. Are we heading home?' From her sister. She moves forward and nods her snout as she rubs up against her.

Heather stands up and wipes the forest off her ass. Walking over to her daddy, she reaches out to tussle his ears and comb through his fur. Looking over at him, she says, "Thanks, daddy. Thanks for letting me join you guys. Wished I did this sooner, but you know me. Once I have a problem, I need to solve it before anything else. Love you both."

Sam hears her thoughts and knows it's hard being the odd man or woman out. He's been there. Having parents who're were vampires and being the only 'Norm' felt odd, but he embraced it. Just like she's embracing it now. He knows she's strong for doing this, and he's proud of her. One day, she will be his. She'll bear his mark and one day, wear his ring. He loves her and definitely wants to make her, 'Mine'. Lowering himself down to the forest floor, he awaits for her to mount him once more. Feeling her on his back, gripping his hair and wrapping her legs around his flanks. He knows she's ready to go. Heading West, they run at a trot until he hears her shout out, 'Run like the Wind'. Dropping to the forest floor, he pushes off and heads back to the Middle marker. Reaching out to his other mates, he says,

"We're done at the Eastern marker and heading back to the middle and then home. How was your trip to the Western marker?"

Both Tessa and his slut give their account of hearing the other. They stop. Sasha speaks up and says, "

Sorry. My bad. Tess, share your report with Alpha."

She forgets herself. Yeah, she's Mistress of the Dire and the house, but out here, she has no rank. Reaching out to her sister/lover, she says, "

Sorry, Mistress. I forget my place. You're Alpha's second. Give him your report."

Tessa just rolls her eyes at her lover, but knows if she says anything to her, she will get agitated. Letting it go, she gives her report of the Western marker. Reaching out to her Alpha, she says,

"Nothing to report. It's all clear there. No fresh smells. How about on your end, Alpha?"

Sam snickers in his head. He feels for his slut, and technically she's right but he values her opinion. Yeah, Tessa's second to him out here, but he values everyone's opinion even if they are a vampire. Replying, he says,

"Same here. Nothing new to report. The forest is clear this evening. We're safe for another day. Once we hit the Middle marker, we'll head home. See you in a few, baby.

"

"Roger that, Alpha. We're all wondering how our little sister handled her first patrol?"

Tessa asks.

Sam smiles as he slows down from a gallop to a trot. He says,

"She handled it like a trooper. Loved the ride, and she felt like home among us. She took everything within stride. Played with Tanya while I worked. Can't wait till she becomes more than a 'Norm' but I rather have her this way than none. Thanks for asking, baby."

Tessa nods her head and says,

"Will let everyone know. See you at home, Alpha. Take care

." She shares the news to both her sisters, and share in her delight. Deep down though, Tessa worries. She knows what her sister is attempting and hopes she comes out of it alive. Shaking her head internally, she hopes her sister knows what she's doing. Deep down, she wishes she just took Alpha's bite and be done with it, than risking death with a double bite. But it's her fate. Deep down, she knows her sister is very smart and hopes that knowledge leads her to the path she wants to walk. She says, 'Tokhi waniphika ni, tanke.' Meaning: Good luck, older sister.

As they approach the clearing, Sam slows down from a gallop to a trot, then to a walk as they get closer. Stopping in front of the clearing, they can see that it's still light out. It's one of those nights that it's dark outside but you can still see the clouds and the stars. Looking all around, Sam drops to the forest floor and tilts to the side to let his baby-girl know that it's time to get off. Once she gets the hint, he shifts back to his normal self. Looking behind, he sees Tanya has shifted as well. Walking to the nearest bush, he pulls out bags, and finds his and his beta's clothes inside. Tossing the bag to his beta, she gives him a smile before scrounging inside to pull out her clothes.

Tanya grabs the bag out of thin air and gives him a nod of appreciation. She's not cold per se but feels exposed to be this close to the clearing. Rummaging through the bag, she pulls out her shorts and top, but immediately grabs her panties to feel secured. Shaking her head, 'It's one of those things. Being on your period, and you just want to feel protected and not cause a mess.' From there, she puts on her shorts and then her top. Seeing that she's all dressed and ready to go, she watches the interaction between her sister and Master.

Sam pulls out his clothes but attentively watches his baby-girl go through the motions. He sees her feeling giddy, if giddy is a word. Seeing her smile brings joy to this mundane work they do every night. Raising his head up slightly, he says, "What are you thinking about, baby-girl?"

Heather looks over at him and then turns back with her eyes pointing down with a smile still on her face. She knows he asked a question, but she's a bundle of nerves. Feeling ecstatic and yet it's so surreal. Biting her lower lip, she says, "Everything, daddy. I never knew that feeling the wind in your hair and being close to nature can be... I don't know the words but the only thing I can think of is magic. Do you understand what I am saying, daddy?"

Sam snickers slightly, but nods his head. Smiling, he says, "That feeling never goes away when we're out here. It's surreal, being close to nature. Plus, the ride was probably thrilling, right?" Seeing the nod, he finishes putting on his shorts and grabs his t-shirt before grabbing the bag and heading home. Looking behind, he calls out, "Pet!" Instantly, she's right next to him. Looking over at her, he says, "You don't have to be behind or follow me. You're a strong woman in your own right. Come, let's head home." Holding both of their hands, he heads out of the clearing.

Tanya feels slightly embarrassed. She didn't want to interrupt their conversation and yet he called her out. Shaking her head, she feels touched that he cares. Feeling his hand holding hers, she feels connected. Looking over at him, her heart flutters a bit. Seeing her sister look at him with those same thoughts, she smiles. 'Definitely touched. He makes us feel empowered and yet wants us close by. We're really a big family and he loves every one of us.' She thinks to herself. As they get closer, she turns to him and says, "Master?"

Sam turns to her with a smile. He knows she wants to head home fast. Giving her a slight nod, he sees her face blossoms with joy. Letting go of her hand, he says, "Go. Get going. See you in few, Pet."

Seeing the nod brings her joy. Smiling back, Tanya takes an attentively step closer to home but stops. Hearing him telling her to go, she smiles and races off. Reaching the sliding glass door, she opens it and turns around and waves at both of them before slipping through. Shaking her head, she smiles and thinks, 'He knows me so well.' As she heads through the corridors to head upstairs, she stopped in the spare bedroom to retrieve a new pair of panties. From there, she heads to the shared washroom to take a much needed shower. She loves running and doing patrols with Master, however she feels dirty afterwards. Plus, that time of the month just adds to it. Yeah, a nice shower alone is what she needs. Grabbing a fresh towel from underneath the vanity and a fresh pad. She heads to the tub and turns on the faucet to get things going.
