Hunter reborn.

Celeste'e eye nearly twitched in frustration as she was simply given the response of 'Siobhan's idea'.


"I don't care if it's her idea! I don't want to be here..Michael you know I...I don't do things like this!"

She groaned in response, apparently unable to really understand exactly why she wanted to share this with her. Why would she want to - did people normally want to see other people being used with toys? She didn't understand it - and she didn't want to be chained up there.

"Master.." Again the word was whined as she struggled against the restraints, the feather making her flinch, arching her back as though to get away from the pesky feather. "Why this idea? Is...is this some sort of...punishment for something?"

She looked so desperately confused and frustrated from the damn feather, clenching her teeth to stifle a moan as the feather drifted instead to her slit, drawing the moisture from between her legs upward to her stomach.

Another groan escaped as she squirmed, pouting up at him instead. It certainly felt like punishment. This terrible teasing - Siobhan begging him not to stop.

And his response of her being too eager made her shake her head. "What? N...no I don't need to learn anything..you're not being fair.." She should get some sort of say as into what was going on..but she wasn't getting anything - they weren't even listening to her.
 
"I don't care if it's her idea! I don't want to be here..Michael you know I...I don't do things like this!"

Michael glanced the squirming fox girl from over his shoulder, tossing her a naughty wink and a smile. He really wasn't ignoring her, he was just getting a great deal of satisfaction seeing his little kitten squirm....the fact that his other hand was gently torturing Celeste only heightened the experience for him.

"Don't do? Or haven't tried? As I recall, I don't think you ever let me throw a pair of cuffs on you in the past, Celeste. Perhaps there's something about your situation you're afraid of?"

"Master...Why this idea? Is...is this some sort of...punishment for something?"

This time it was Siobhan who answered in between heated pants, doing her best to keep her trembling body from arching and driving her abused pussy any further onto the sawhorse's point....

"My....idea.....Siobhan.....likes Celeste.....this is....Siobhan's private place.....but.....but I wanted to share....Master.....with you....."

A soft chuckle escaped him then before fading to a more somber look.

"You're not likely to get Siobhan's story from her, Celeste.....so I'll tell it for her. Unlike all my other mates, I truly am Siobhan's master.....its a title she never fails to call me. Did you know that she carried you down the steps to this dungeon basement? I know you're probably furious, but think on this......its the first time I've allowed her to walk in almost a year. Everywhere she goes in this mansion, its been on hands and knees with the collar that I gave her worn proudly."

The lycan teen blushed furiously as another moan escaped her....another bead slowly escaping the tight confines of her body.....

"You see....this is all Siobhan thinks she is good for....amusing me. Like Kira, she had a previous master.....a were-jackal that I was all too happy to exterminate. The rending was excruciating for her as she felt her master die. It was only later that I found out what a bastard he really was."

Shaking and trembling, Siobhan's breath came rapidly....whimpers and frantic mews filling the air.

"I've not given you permission to cum yet, pet."

With that he left her at the height of her passion....her hips twisting and writhing, longing already for his returned touch. Instead, he knelt before Celeste, the teasing feather discarded like so many others of his toys.

"He tortured her. Sometimes with silver, the sick fuck."

A soft buzz filled the room, Michael lifting a small vibrating egg into her line of vision for just a second before leaning over once more....easily reaching over the spreader bar to caress its tingling surface against Celeste's moist pussy.

"And as I've mentioned before....that's against all lycan rules, harming another with silver. I gutted him alive, made him feel every last second of pain I could before I took his heart. When Siobhan recovered.....well.....she never truly recovered."

It took several long seconds before it was heard.....gone were the sounds of happiness, of arousal and near climax. Instead, a gut-wrenching, soul rending sob reached Celeste's ears.....Michael wouldn't be surprised at all if she were a little alarmed at the sound.

"I can't have Master's babies!"

Eyes clenched shut tightly did nothing to staunch the flow of tears. She was worthless to him....unable to serve her purpose of growing his clan....a clan that desperately needed more if it was going to survive.

"He did this to her....drove a silvered needle into her belly.....and the son of a bitch did it on purpose. He told her she was too worthless to have his spawn....."

Running the smallish egg up and down his fox mate's hot nether lips, Michael took care to keep its contact with her clit brief and teasing. Just when she thought he wasn't going to ever get serious, he pressed the small globe past her lips and up inside her......

"Even worse....Siobhan had come to like the treatment....it was the only time her past master had paid attention to her. However, as you can see.....in my house.....such treatment comes with something the jackal could never have given her......intimacy and love. It's these that she wants to share with you, Celeste."
 
Celeste glared at him immediately at the comment. Of course she wasn't going to let him come near her with cuffs when they were dating - though he had wanted to numerous times. She didn't even remember how many times she had told him no because she didn't trust him with them - and apparently it was with good reason.

She was pouting as Siobhan told her something - something about her private place that she really couldn't understand simply because she really wasn't making very much sense. And as Michael began with the story she swallowed hard as he began..simply because it was a frightening thought that this was the first time she had been allowed to walk in the house. Why was that? Pet or not he wouldn't let her walk?

She glanced back to Siobhan before looking forward at him as he knelt in front of her.

"Master.."

He started speaking of the previous Master and she didn't even want to hear it after the first words had been spoken, and she didn't really care that she was being persistent to be let go - her arms were aching terribly and she was forced to stand there with her legs spread, her gaze following him as he knelt in front of her - telling Shio that she wasn't allowed to cum - that she hadn't been given permission.

However as he spoke about the silver she cringed. She had seen the way it had affected Michael and really couldn't even imagine torture from it.

The buzzing distracted her from her thoughts, however and she whimpered, the vibrations buzzing against her skin so teasingly but it didn't tease..not when she heard the cry from Shio's lips.

She actually felt tears in her own eyes, her eyes squeezing shut as well as he finally pressed the vibrating egg inside of her, finally drawing a cry from her own lips, her restraints making it impossible to get it from herself.

"M..Master.."

She cringed, hearing that Siobhan went on to actually enjoy the treatment, her breathing somewhat uneven as she squirmed. Though it was understandable. Michael wouldn't hurt her - he would never hurt Siobhan. She didn't even think that he would hurt her at this point - but he wouldn't listen to her protests.
 
It was cute the way she continued to protest being there, her legs spread shamelessly apart, that soft buzzing muffled deep inside of her as she squirmed against it. Michael wondered what bothered her more about her current situation....the fact that she was helplessly bound, or that another woman could see her as she was now. Personally, he was inclined to believe the first reason.....Celeste certainly hadn't been ashamed to fuck his brains out last night.....knowing full well that Siobhan watched on, dreaming of it being her recieving her master's favors.

Still, he felt sorry for the little catgirl too. Perhaps he'd been wrong to tell her story with her present, the lithe little body still shuddering softly, though now he could tell it was from tears and misery....and had nothing to do with the pleasurable feelings he'd been invoking in her tight little frame just minutes before.

Fortunately, over the last two years, he'd come to learn well just which buttons to push. A soft tug on the weights attached to her nipple clamps.....another insistant tug to pull another of the anal beads from a suddenly gasping body......Michael leaned in close to rake his teeth across one smooth shoulder.....a shuddering moan drawn from his subservient little pet.

"Hush, kitten. You serve your purpose here....master is not upset."

Turning back to Celeste, he gave her a naughty wink and a wicked smile as he took a long moment sizing up his handiwork so far.

"I don't think you're enjoying yourself just yet, my lovely mate. Perhaps I can help just a little?"

A soft rattling could be heard as thick fingers dipped into a metal bucket. And yet, it wasn't another complex toy of bondage that she saw as the limb returned to view.....

Clear, crisp....and undoubtedly cold, a soft cube of ice glistened between his fingers. He delighted in the sight of her eyes widening, obviously recognizing it for what it was.....and no doubt coming to the realization that things were about to get a whole lot more interesting.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself down here though, Celeste. I'd hate for you to cum too soon on me.....after all....you should show some respect for Siobhan, I've not let her cum yet."

Michael wasn't sure if he felt a slight shiver run through her as he touched the frigid cube to the source of her heat....its chill the perfect contrast to what the vibrating egg inside of her had to have been making her feel. He held it against her swelling little button for a long moment before dipping his head slightly....his lips tugging gently at her now prominently swollen clit even as he reached up her helpless body.....a chill trail of melting liquid shimmering across her perfect belly on its way to Celeste's firm breasts.....

"Interesting feeling, yes?"

His mouth left her after just teasingly short time....choosing to smile up at her at almost the exact second she felt it run smoothly across one nipple.

"You're so hot and bothered down here, Celeste....I've half a mind to slip this inside of you too."
 
Or perhaps it was a combination of both. When Siobhan had been watching them the previous evening, Celeste at first hadn't even noticed that she was there because she was being woken from her own sleep to shamelessly fuck his brains out. Now...now she could be seen - and could see everything. Though being unable to move was not something that she enjoyed.

She also wasn't really sure that she liked seeing Shio like that. Even though the girl obviously delighted in the torments, it didn't mean that Celeste wanted to see her delight in such things. It was obvious that telling Siobhan's story had upset her, which was merely another thing that seemed to tug her heart strings.

But Michael's words broke her near trance-like state of shuddering and stifling moans of her own to see him wink at her - and give her a good once over before actually addressing her.

The words made her cringe and immediately she was shaking her head in response. No no. She didn't want any help...she just wanted to go back to her lovely bed..or find a meal.

Her lips parted as she saw the ice cube, amber eyes widening immediately as she saw what the little item was - as well as going through what he would possibly be doing with that damned cube.

She did shiver - but did her best to hide it as he pressed the cube to her hot lips, and she gasped rather loudly, her eyes squeezing shut when his teeth finally found her clit. She was soon panting..so soon - managing to let a groan escape when he pulled away from her clit, leaving her standing on trembling legs, her entire body aching for more of him.

Though the smile paired with the ice across her nipple simply made her glare back at him - especially after the comment of him debating whether or not to put the ice cube inside of her buzzing cunt.

"Untie me.." Again she groaned, though this was more desperate and wanting rather than in protest. She didn't want to be tied up..at his mercy - but did she really have any choice? She was his - in every sense and she was still there protesting..at the same time wanting more when she knew somewhere deep down that she didn't have a choice what he did with her.
 
"Untie me.."

"No....no, I think not. Siobhan's risked a lot bringing you down here, and from the looks of it, she's risked her friendship with you. And so I have to take it upon myself to make sure you have a good time....."

The ice cube swept low, tracing the underside of one full breast....its size diminished greatly having seen so much of Celeste's heated, nubile body.

"And so I have a surprise for you."

He circled her like the predator he was....leaning forward just a little to give his sex kitten a slight push, Siobhan's moaning taking on an almost frantic pitch as she swayed to and fro....each rocking motion running the ridge of the sawhorse through the folds of her tormented pussy.....

And yet that was just to keep her occupied while he focused on his real target.
He knew she watched him.....they both did.....both eager in their own way and for their own reasons to see what he did next. Reaching forward, he let her feel his touch....reaching from behind her, between her forced spread thighs to run the length of her.....the smart little clit that had already begun to swell prominently despite her protests....all the way back to her tailbone.....

Kneeling gently, there was plenty of room for him to enjoy what he himself had made her put on display.....his tongue flicking outward to relish her flavor once more.....it was almost enough to make her miss him reaching for his pants. Not that Siobhan would miss it, if Celeste did.....

And yet there was more than one surprise to be had down here. He had no intention of removing the buzzing, vibrating sex toy from her pussy.....but Celeste didn't need to know that right away. He could almost see her making her own conclusions as her senses brought her the sight and sound of him stepping from the discarded fabric.....the smell of male arousal filtering slowly towards her nose.....

Stepping close, he approached her from behind....only enhancing the sensation of her own helplessness as he bent to run himself over her moist slit.....the egg having done its job well as her juices slickened the rough and bumpy muscle.

No wicked smile, no teasing words.....just a deep lustful intent, and a keen desire to surprise her even further.....Michael pressed the tip of his cock not against her inferno of a cunt.....but a little further back.....at a much tighter looking hole. Before she could voice a real protest, he had already begun the slow easing forward.....piercing her gradually in a place he knew had been off limits for her not so long ago......

She would learn. With him.....

Nothing was off limits.
 
She merely whimpered in response to him flat out telling her that he wasn't going to untie her, and at the mention of risking her friendship managed a quiet growl. That wasn't true. She could get over it..of course she could get over it - but it all depended on how far it went - and from the look of it she was going to take a bit longer to get over it.

Her back arched desperately as the ice cube dipped beneath her breast, her breathing ridiculously uneven as she attempted to remain calm even at a mention of the surprise..she didn't want that, either..even with him it was probably not something that she wanted.

When he circled her, her amber eyes squinted to remain as focused as possible - though her focus shifted to Shio as she was pushed to rock on the horse - though they quickly returned to Michael. She needed to watch him - to see what he was doing, and she simply groaned as he ended up behind her - making it impossible for her to see him.

"Master.."

Even the beginnings of the protest were cut off by his touch, his damned skilled fingers toying with her and immediately making her moan.

As he moved to kneel behind her she felt his tongue taking place of his fingers momentarily - simply to taste her, drawing another quiet moan from her lips as she shut her eyes, still attempting to keep her body under control but it was so obviously becoming more difficult.

Though she did miss the action - but it didn't take long for her to smell him, her little sharp inhalations at his scent immediately making her want him..but she had no idea how she was actually going to get him.

Feeling his cock running along her slit she moaned, trying to push herself back on him - but the surprise was something still that she hadn't been expecting.

She felt him press against her virgin bud and immediately tensed, another whimper escaping her lips as her lips parted. "N..no.." This wasn't fair. She squirmed against the restraints, her breathing uneven as she struggled to get away from him. "You know that...that this isn't...you've never.." She couldn't even think properly to get her protests out, her squirms reducing to nothing as her limbs began to ache from the restraints.
 
Michael breathed a soft sigh of exstacy as he eased himself forward, feeling Celeste stretch to accommodate his full girth. This wasn't like the virginity he'd taken just a week or so ago. Here, he had no intention of hurting her like he had then....and so he took her slowly at first, ignoring her half formed protests as he let her adjust to the feel of him filling her in a new and different way.

He could feel the gentle thrum of the egg inside of her other sex hole, the vibrations growing stronger with the more of himself he pushed inside her ass. Celeste wasn't helping herself any either with the wiggling and writhing she was doing in a fruitless effort to escape.

As his pelvis brushed against those supple buttocks of hers, he held himself there for a moment, his breath already racing. It was even better than he had thought! Reaching around, Michael let his own pleasure with his new mate show as he gave her swollen clit a playful tweak, rolling it around in his fingers even as he retreated just far enough to lunge forward with a decent bit of force behind the stroke.

The action rocked her in her chains, his free hand already moving to hold her in place before repeating the motion.....a soft moan of appreciation filling the room.

"See what you've been missing, Celeste?"

Gradually, slowly even....he began to pick up speed. Michael knew that he could only contain his own carnality for so long.....and yet.....he felt the need to protect Celeste from the full brunt of it........for now.

"You have my permission, Siobhan."

A soft and tortured whimpering was the only response.....soft eyes watching the two of them.....watching every expression on Celeste's face....from obvious discomfort, to.....something else......

"I want it, Master......want it so bad....."

Lithe little kitty hips bucked and twisted, desperate for just a little more friction.....
 
Celeste didn't even understand anymore who she was..or exactly who he was turning her into. Sure, before she had enjoyed sex - with him - with other people she had been to bed with, but this was unlike anything she had ever allowed. Of course it had a lot to do with the fact that she used to be able to protest him and he would listen to her..they all would listen to her.

But he wasn't listening because now he didn't have to - and of course her struggles weren't helping. All that she wanted to do was get away from his cock - pressing ever farther into her tight ring of muscle which was clenching desperately around his cock, almost like it was trying to drag him in while all that she wanted to do was force him out.

Each time she attempted to protest him she managed to get nothing out but staggered sentences that he wasn't even listening to.

No. Instead his finger moved to her clit - rubbing and tweaking, making her try to press against him, her breathing uneven as she moaned simply due to the fact that she was being with toyed with to the point where she was practically putty in his hands.

It wasn't fair that he knew what each part of her body did - how every touch would make her react and what sounds would escape because of it.

She managed a defeated nod in response to his question, and if it was obvious that if she could lift her legs - she would - and she wanted to. She wanted to lift herself and possibly even hand just from her hands to get him to be able to get deeper, her breathing rapid.

He gave Shio permission to cum, and immediately there was a bit of jealousy there - a need to cum as well - and she didn't see his gaze - his eyes following her and watching each change in her expression - which went from hard and determines - somewhat pained even to perhaps something more enjoyable.

She was trying to move her hips, to move anything but her spread legs made it somewhat difficult, her honey coloured eyes slipping shut as she tried to control her breathing - control something in her life - it was almost like she was quickly losing control of what she at one point had in her grasp - for when she was simply human, she controlled each aspect - and now, he controlled it.
 
He loved it. Every last second enjoyed to the fullest. It wasn't just that he was taking her anal virginity, the real thrill lie in the thought that Celeste was powerless to keep him from doing so....indeed....he could almost imagine a soft moan escaping her as he pushed into her again.

Meanwhile, his kitten hung shaking and trembling over the devilish sawhorse he had hovered her over. Michael had known full well that the wood, slickened with Siobhan's own juices, would no longer provide the friction she needed for that last step towards release.....and yet, her plaintive whimpering and panting was the perfect backdrop for his own actions.

His free hand slid slowly up Celeste's lithe body, the other still quite content to torment her faintly buzzing pussy. Cupping a full breast in his palm, Michael hefted it gently as if weighing it once more.....thumb and forefinger curling inward to give the stiff nipple cresting one such delightful mound a harsh tug.

"What's the matter, Siobhan? Master gave you permission to cum."

Only more pants and whimpering answered.....the lycan teen turning mournful eyes on them both.....as if begging. Michael grinned as he watched her eyes drift down to where he was joined with Celeste....

"Can't....."

The timid little girl bit her lower lip gently before turning away. And yet it wasn't long before those submissive eyes of hers were glancing sidelong at them once more.....

A harsh thrust of his hips reminded Celeste of her own place in this, displaying a force he'd as of yet not shown her more intimate of holes. Leaning into her slightly, Michael could feel her chains strain beneath their combined weight as he pushed hard against her.....letting Celeste feel the first real stroke of his cock.....hard and fast.....as it probed ever deeper.

He could hear her breath racing, her heart even faster, the scent of arousal around them both as her body slowly betrayed her. This was something she had never let him do before.....had never bothered with excuses.....he had faced all out refusal.

"Now you don't have a choice, do you, Celeste? And look....seems you're enjoying that which you've denied yourself all this time."

Michael was lunging in earnest now....relishing the feel of her clenching around him. It was only a matter of time before his control slipped.....
 
Celeste was yet again unable to concentrate on anything but the thrusts. Even Siobhan's words were nothing as it was impossible for her to even concentrate on her own protestations.

She was certain that had he simply taken her, she would have been screaming..but the damn complete intent he had on bending her under his sheer will..getting her so hot with the vibrator..toying with her clit then to take her..it was really enough to drive a girl insane.

And she was panting heavily, managing a cry as he shoved harder into her - actually allowing her to feel what he wanted to do all along..how he really took his mates - and she knew that that was what he was doing, that he was going to refuse to hold back at this time, each thrust given forcing him deeper into her clenching passage.

Sweat beaded upon her forehead, her entire body glistening, the lovely waves that framed her face falling rather haphazardly at the moment..but still she didn't seem to care much about that..about anything else but the torment.

No, it wasn't torment of pain. Of course there was discomfort..a considerable ache with each thrust and she was certain that she would be sore - and yes, the chains made every bit of her want to cry out for him to release at least the bindings but still she didn't...still she was contenting herself with moaning and writhing against him.

Where Michael was soon to lose his own control, she knew that she would beat him to it. The way he rocked forward into her - feeling every bit of him swelling inside of her as her body fought to hold him inside of her.

No it didn't take long at all.

With the incessant vibrations, fingers toying with her nipples, and of course the relentless pounding of her Master it wasn't long before the familiar - and at the same time - new sensation washed over her, causing her to press back against him as her moan turned into a combination of both a moan and cry, tilting her head back until it rested against his shoulder, causing her to arch perfectly, her juices coating the little egg in her cunt and dripping down her thighs - while the tight rings of muscle in her ass rippled spastically along his cock.
 
Michael shuddered softly.....feeling her tighten around him, her body with nowhere to go as the chains themselves swayed back and forth matching the rhythym of his thrusts as he pounded her until she cried out....shaking and trembling....her cunt spilling its juices around the vibrator he'd placed inside her....

Pulling from her suddenly, she could feel the head of his turgid cock rise from between her battered cheeks, the spray of his thick seed flowering unexpectedly across her sculpted back....burning her with its heat as he poured all he had onto her.....

His breath ragged, he stumbled to her right....reaching with a tentative hand between the legs of the trembling Siobhan. A soft yet joyous cry escaping her as he found her swollen clit....stroking it with tender care even as she lunged at him with her hips.....each attempt driving the cruel point of the sawhorse against her tailbone.....and yet with no effect.

"Master!"

Siobhan's cry mirrored Celeste's own, the tight and lithe little body twisting in the confines of her chains as her body struggled within its release, shaking and trembling beneath its power.

A firm kick slid the sawhorse out of the way and out from under her. Even now, he reached up for the shackles that bound her legs....freeing them from their aching position. Her feet actually touched ground.....spasming as if unused to the action itself. Reaching up.....Michael turned a key within each iron cuff....the shackles holding her arms aloft falling away.

"Now look at the mess your idea has made of Celeste. I think its your duty to clean your little freind off."

With a soft purr, Siobhan dropped almost instantly to her knees.....crawling once more over to the fox.....

"Clean....and nothing else, Siobhan."

"Yes, Master."

Long seconds passed before she could feel it.....the gentle, yet slightly rough tongue sliding across her backside. Dipping between the cleft of her shapely buttocks to catch the cum of her master that had run there.....dining eagerly on each spilt droplet....her firm wetness pressed against Celeste's already heated skin as she did her best....slowly working over the small of her back.....steadily rising to devour each dribbling of seed.....
 
Celeste groaned as she felt him pull himself from her, feeling an incredible emptiness. She didn't understand it. Of course it was much like the emptiness that she felt when he left her cunt, but this was a deeper ache..an ache that she couldn't get used to it seemed..now it was more like both of her holes a had a need for him - the need to have him inside of her and the incredible loss when he was not.

She let herself hang then in her restraints, her head bowed somewhat as she attempted with an incredible amount of difficulty to stay composed...though at this point it was impossible..there was no composure as she stood there, trembling, hearing Siobhan cry out - hearing her own ecstasy.

She was lost in her own little bliss when her amber eyes opened again - seeing the truck, however she felt the tongue against her back, immediately causing her to shudder almost violently.

Her breathing was incredibly uneven as her chest heaved. "Sh..Shio.."

But her gaze instead shifted to attempt to focus on Michael, her body aching everywhere now for something different..now instead needing her arms free - needing that ache at least to subside.

"M...Master.."

Everything was so clouded..she wanted to get out of the room, back into a state of normalcy but she didn't even know what normal was after this. Could she really go back to the way that she had been - even with Michael?

Would he keep bringing her down here...no..she wouldn't let him - she would fight him - just not eat anything offered to her - she couldn't eat anything but instead she could hunt herself - only trust herself.
 
A soft rapping.....so dull sounding.....as if far away.....

With a soft frown of askance, Siobhan turned towards her master. Seeing Michael nod once, slowly....the catgirl turned to slink up the stairs one at a time, crawling forward in her hybrid form.

"Hello kitten.....is Master down there playing with you?"

The voice was soft, yet carried a touch of concern......Angel.

Siobhan nodded submissively, "Master's playing with Celeste too! You should come play with us, Angel!"

A soft hand lowered to run across her swelling belly, the brunette gave the younger lycan a tender smile.

"Master and I have our own ways to play and have fun. Besides....Master needs to know that he has an important visitor.....important enough for me to interrupt this. Thank you for letting me know Celeste's whereabouts too.....he'll no doubt be needing to bring her."

Still quite naked, Michael stepped out into the basement corridor.

"Who is it, Angel."

The softness in her smile faded to one of concern, her eyes lazily drifting over his body despite herself.

"Lord Justin Vargas, master. He wishes audience with you, and he does not seem happy."

Michael's eyes widened slightly in surprise and perhaps just a little touch of alarm, his gaze sweeping backward almost immediately to the still bound Celeste.

"Let him in.....tell him I'll be there momentarily. Show him in to the parlor, and offer him our finest hospitality, would you?"

All of this over the sudden worried mewling of Siobhan, the girl already showing the good sense of ridding herself of her feline form. Scampering back down the stairs as fast as possible, Siobhan could only huddle at his feet, waiting for her own orders as her master moved quickly.....binding after binding falling away from his captive mate.

"You'll need to be heading right upstairs, Celeste.....and avoid the parlor. The room I gave you has some clothes in it.....now is not the time to be running around the mansion naked.....not even Kira would dare with him here."

He was powerful.....so much more so than he himself was. One of the original clan lords.....millenia old....true born, not a bitten like him......

Lord of the Fox Clan.....Justin Vargas. And he had no doubt come when he had found about Celeste. For a second, Michael cursed his own lustful irrationality. He had killed that fox back at her house and had just left the corpse for anyone to find......his scent all over it.

Twenty long minutes later, and he was properly dressed. He had Kira helping Celeste with her own garments just as Nastaja had aided him. The noble Angel, kept company with their esteemed guest in the parlor....doing her best to curb any impatience.

When he did finally enter the room, the fox lord stood up.....showing more courtesy than perhaps he deserved. A double breasted doublet covered his broad chest, sharp black slacks and elegant vest drawing stark contrast to the white linen.....giving him his own air of nobility. For just a moment, he was greeted with a soft smile of approval before the fox lord's face fell once more into an annoyed grimace.

"Good afternoon, Lord Vargas."

Justin cocked his head out of deference, not really feeling the need to return the formalities.

"I'm sure you're wondering why I'm here, Michael. I doubt you've the intelligence to have figured it out on your own."

So it was going to be this again. A constant string of slurs and insults meant to demean him, to constantly keep him in his place and remind him of the weaknesses of not only his clan.....but his bitten stature.

"You're here about Celeste."

A quizzical eyebrow rose, along with a slight look of surprised appreciation.

"I can see you're not going to make me explain everything today, are you? Celeste.....so that's her name. Yes....I'd heard you'd taken a fox mate recently, Michael. Now tell me.....why would you do something like that when our two clans are allied?"

The dark haired lycan shrugged, not about to let the appearance of the gallant fox lord bother him. Unlike Michael's dark ensemble, Justin had dressed in a much more summery look.....with a bleached white linen shirt held in check by a creamy tan vest that complimented his khaki colored slacks perfectly, right down to his caramel colored loafers. And to top of the whole look was his flame red hair, carefully combed in such a way as to make him look as roguish as possible.

"She was bitten...."

"By you," Justin interrupted.

"Yes."

"And you watched her turn? Supervised it?"

Michael nodded again softly, "Yes."

"Then tell me why I wasn't notified when it became apparent she was a fox?"

Michael scowled, just a flash of anger flickering deep within his gaze. He didn't know when Celeste would get here, or how much of this she was going to here.....

"She was my prey, Justin."

The red-headed noble's eyes narrowed just as easily.....though they would widen again easily enough when they got their first glance of Celeste.....

"A personal prey then....?"

"Yes."

Eyes closed slightly as Michael found himself greeted with a derisive smirk.

"So, you steal from me in the name of vengeance, is that it? Fortunately for you, I'm feeling lenient today. Don't forget that I practically hold your little shithole of a clan in the palm of my hand....not even your main branch is powerful enough to protect you from me."

Justin's eyes opened once more, seizing Michael's own with an intensity the were-panther had only felt two other times before.....

"A trophy for a trophy then. You've no doubt had your way with your little fox girl. So I'll be taking something of yours home with me.....namely that girl, Kira. A cheetah should make a fine present for one of my sons, I've one coming of age currently.......she'll make a fine test for him to see if he's man enough to carry on my line."

Michael stiffened suddenly, keeping himself unmoving despite the sound of Kira's startled cry behind him. If she were here....that meant.....how long had Celeste been standing in on their conversation?

"I can see you know better than to refuse me. Perhaps you're smarter than I give you credit for, though certainly not by much. As a minor reward for your acquiescence, I'll give you the rest of the day to say your good byes.....but I will be leaving with her, you do understand that, don't you Michael?"

His tongue felt heavy.....his throat constricting even as his mind raced......

Michael nodded.

"Well then.....I'll be back at sundown to claim what is mine. Don't try and rob me a second time, Michael........it wouldn't go well for you."

Over his shoulder, he finally acknowledged her......a saucy wink tossed her way with a bright flash of her perfect smile.

"Oh....and Celeste was it?.....its been a pleasure meeting you."
 
Celeste was hardly aware of him when he finally began to release her of the prison she had been kept in for..however long she didn't even know and she was incredibly thrilled to feel the release of the restraints...though of course that release came with an incredible throb and ache.

She was taken to her room and cleaned up so quickly that she didn't even really get to comprehend everything that was happening. A thin dress - that dipped low enough to give her some - not much modesty, the deep royal blue an incredible contrast to her skin.

And off she went, back down the stairs just in time to hear him.

"She was my prey, Justin."

The words made her tense, and she brushed her loose curls away from her face, her gaze finding the floor incredibly comforting at the moment.

As soon as Kira was brought into the situation..as soon as the girl's cry was heard Celeste turned, squeezing her shoulder as reassuringly as she possibly could only to push her chin out - keeping herself as composed as possible.

'She was my prey.'

The words would haunt her despite the fact that she had known that all along. He had come there that day to give her the hell that she had given him...and she had fallen in love with Michael...no. Her Master the moment he allowed her to curl herself in his lap that night.

The thought made her shudder.

When Michael nodded and Justin moved away from them..to wink at her she immediately stepped forward.

Her instinct was to go after him, plead a different case, and though she could nearly feel Michael reaching to stop her, she snarled over her shoulder at him only to continue after, putting on a wonderful show within moments.

Her entire composure had shifted from something defensive to something as calm and casual as she could possibly manage, her fingertips lifting slowly - trailing down his arm as she tilted her head in obvious curiosity. Though an act was being put on - the curiosity was plain to see as reality.

"Lord Vargas...I would like to speak with out outside a moment..if you wouldn't mind. I don't think I've gotten to know you well enough in these few moments of interaction.

And like that she had slipped out the front door, her heart and mind racing at speeds that she couldn't comprehend as she stood there..waiting for him to follow - a silent plea for him to just..follow her out of the mansion.

In all truth she did want to know him - to know more about what she was and that was something that she could certainly learn from the Lord of the Fox Clan...was that not her clan? It should have been.

Some malice was there..some resentment for being brought into this clan when she could have known more..and the one thing that the girl could not do was hide her emotions from her eyes. Her face could be nothing but a blank slate but her eyes simply spoke every emotion that overcame her. And at the moment..she needed to protect the Clan.
 
"Lord Vargas...I would like to speak with out outside a moment..if you wouldn't mind. I don't think I've gotten to know you well enough in these few moments of interaction.

Justin paused for a second, his gaze never faltering for a second, though he didn't turn to face her. Not even when her fingertips trailed down his arm, tracing the rock hard surface beneath.

"Well, it seems I was right after all. A panther is too brutish and stupid to take and tame one of our clan. Very well, my dear, I confess to being curious as to what would make a female of any clan risk her neck to be heard in such a manner. I will listen to what you have to say....."

Turning finally, he offered Celeste his elbow even as he sketched a low and mocking bow in his direction....loving how it made the much larger man scowl.....

Whisking Celeste from the parlor and away from prying eyes was easily enough done, especially considering the state of shock that they had all been left in.

"There you go, dear.....privacy.....and a few moments of my interminable life. What is it you wish to speak to me of?"
 
She took his arm, and actually relished in the feel. There was something..some draw that she couldn't put her finger on but she actually had a need to be near him - and it was near obvious that it had everything to do with what they were and nothing of any other sort of attraction toward him.

Her hand slowly left his arm, a reluctant task as she moved a few steps away from him, her head bowed as she attempted to even figure out what she was going to do.

"The cheetah.."

Yes, start slow then pick up..figure something out while rattling off on a way to keep Kira safe.

"She'll make no friends with your boy.." Amber eyes rose slowly before she turned to face him, the curiosity still in her eyes - shining through at an incredible amount and she made no move to step toward or away from him.

"I do understand the proposition in which you speak..but what if I promise something else instead?" Her breathing was uneven as her hand lifted, impatient and nervous fingers drumming on her hip as she tilted her head.

"I understand the importance of keeping a clan strong..keeping the line going. But..our clan.." She paused, correcting herself. "Michael's clan..also needs growth. He needs her for that growth. The strength." Her movements were now deliberate as she took a step toward him, until her body was pressed flush against his own, her cheeks tinted pink as blood pooled just beneath the surface.

"Do you want a Cheetah..or do you want..the fox that you so rightfully deserve? You wanted me. You are upset with him because of me he should not suffer a loss because of it. Take me. I'm new to the family..they'll miss nothing..th..they won't even think on it that I've left."
 
"Do you want a Cheetah..or do you want..the fox that you so rightfully deserve? You wanted me. You are upset with him because of me he should not suffer a loss because of it. Take me. I'm new to the family..they'll miss nothing..th..they won't even think on it that I've left."

Lord Vargas watched in stoic silence as the girl before him built herself to crescendo.....winning over an obvious struggle in her own mind. He hadn't missed the scowl she'd tossed to her new master as they had departed, yet now the charming little vixen seemed fully prepared to seduce him in order to keep the petty little clan she had been forced into whole.

"Your's is a tempting offer to be sure....."

How to handle this. While Michael, in his mind, was an unintelligent brute of a creature, easily manipulated.....this girl....Celeste.....was another thing entirely. When he dealt with her, it was with the utmost respect and kindness, despite the words to come.....words she would no doubt find harsh if not surprising.

"However, you're also new to things regarding our peoples, my dear. How do I say this without seeming a callous dick?"

For a long second, the flame haired fox lord seemed deep in thought....never losing sight of the fact that she was close.....hotter than a flame this girl was. A shame.....she was wasted on Michael. Reaching down between them....he could feel her tense at his touch, though he didn't go nearly as far as she no doubt thought he would. Instead, the first set of his knuckles rubbed softly against her belly for a long moment as their eyes met.....surely his nose wouldn't lie to him.

"You've already committed to furthering this clan, whether you intended to or not. The cheetah hasn't.....my guess is that she hides herself from him when her heat is upon her, and our good Michael is way too inept to catch her and mate her properly."

Strong fingers interposed themselves....pushing her away only to reach out and capture one slender wrist.

"I'm not sure how much you've been told, or if you've just been raped constantly since your turning. I think I owe you that much at least....and besides....I've always heard that one of Michael's mates has a way with flowers. Care to walk with me through the garden?"

He didn't really wait for her to answer, instead moving to that direction, making sure to keep Celeste close enough to hear him clearly when he spoke.

"A male may breed a female of his own clan at any time and place.....the action itself laying claim to the female. However....should a male attempt to breed a female of a different clan than his own, such attempts prove futile.....unless the female enters her heat cycle and becomes exceptionally fertile."

Justin stopped suddenly, a strange smile on his lips as he directed her attention to a delicate flower.

"I'm sure by now, you've been told of a female's role within the clan. The larger the clan, the more relaxed this role is."

Starting up again suddenly, nimble feet delighted in the stony path that wound the two of them through the almost magically colored flora.

"I'm doing him a favor. He's been unable, for whatever reason, to make this Kira girl submit to her role. She's in need of a stronger hand.....a stronger master. And yet there are rules."

He turned to face her then, a grim smile on his face.

"Should my son fail to claim her on his own, then he obviously is too weak to control her as well. I'll have to make a few arrangements and insure that such a thing doesn't happen. Cheetahs are rare.....having one for a mate is even rarer, and I don't pretend to know where Michael got his. I'm sorry, my dear Celeste, but truth be told....I've had my eye on this one for a long time. Michael's fuck up has finally allowed me a chance to seize her without breaking my own rules."

Slowly, the path wound the two of them back towards the manor house.

"Really, I must be off now, love. Do try and enjoy your stay here, as hard as I'm sure that is for you. I'm sure we'll see each other again someday.....especially if that child you carry turns out to be of fox blood."

There.....he'd finally given her something to think about. And from the look on her face, Michael hadn't gotten as far as explaining that to her either.....

It was an easy climb back into his Escalade.....the ignition turning with a soft hum.....tires kicking up dust as he spun out of sight......
 
Celeste had been thrilled to test out the newly acquired abilities, however the look in his eyes were an incredible insight even before he spoke. He didn't want her.

"Yours is a tempting offer to be sure...."

Immediately she felt her cheeks flood with colour - though this time it was of embarrassment. She had just offered herself to this man and had been turned down without really even a second thought. Her gaze fell despite the words. Despite the fact that he was really doing his best to be kind..'letting her down easy' - and when the words 'callous dick' escaped his lips she couldn't help but scoff.

It was the movement that drew her from her thoughts and she flinched - using every bit of her willpower to not simply recoil from him, but her eyes found his hand - watching as he rubbed her stomach only to slowly lift her gaze to his - her wondrous eyes incredibly wide with realization.

She'd 'committed' to furthering his clan.

Already she could feel her heart racing..nausea threatening to creep in - and he pushed her away simply to grasp her wrist - the next words seeming to come at her in forceful blows..everything all at once apparently far too much.

She didn't say anything through the entire explanation - but she did shy away from him as he told her that he had been eyeing Kira..still - that he didn't want her. That he wouldn't just accept her instead..with child or not.

His words were not a comfort - not even the departing words and there was so much shock in her eyes that she just stared off after him. How much she would have liked to yell at him..to curse him for taking Kira..that she shouldn't have to go and he could go shove it and find someone else. Why hadn't she?

Her hand returned to her stomach then, slender fingers grasping the knob on the front door. For a brief moment she stood there, fighting a wave of nausea...fighting a sudden fatigue from all of the information that had been shoved in her direction.

It was brief - her stay outside and within moments she was back in the manor, shutting the door with her head bowed in obvious shame - and with her gaze on the floor the rest of the emotions were hidden. If they couldn't see her eyes they couldn't see what she was thinking - it was as simple as that. She had a perfect poker face..until they caught a glimpse of what emotions were swirling in those eyes of hers.

It was simple to find them - and when she did she kept her hand lowered. Someone was about to speak - she heard the intake of breath, and simply lifted her hand to silence them, shutting her eyes after a moment.

Her face was pale. The nausea had returned.

"I'm sorry, Kira..I tried" But did they have to know that she had offered herself? No.

And so with that she turned, quite literally sprinting faster than they could deem possible to her room, shutting the door and locking it only to place her slender figure in front of the toilet, tears streaming down her cheeks that were now void of any colour save a slightly green tint.

Her heart was racing and she kept her eyes shut - getting up only once to turn the water of the sink on...they couldn't hear her then. It was a good hour before she emerged from the restroom, looking hardly refreshed, her lips somewhat pale though the tint to her cheeks had gone.

The taste of mint lingered in her mouth and was actually sickening at the moment, and without even thinking of speaking to any of them she was in bed, drawing the covers up over herself even now still fully dressed, covering her head with the pillow that she had been resting on.

The room was pitch black..an incredible sensation - and she was asleep within moments, not even hearing the lock to her door clicking to the 'unlocked' position or seeing anyone enter. She was far too enraptured in her own little peaceful world of sleep.
 
He had wanted to say something.

Even as Celeste rounded the corner of the hallway to re-enter the parlor, it was clear something was wrong. She steadfastly refused to even look at any of them.....and it just wasn't in Michael right now to command her to face him. He knew it was going to be a shock, and a bad one, for her to meet her clan lord.....though honestly he'd thought this would have happened farther down the road than what it had. Just what had Justin told her?

Almost abreast with them, Nastaja reached for her....a rare look of concern and sympathy crossing her fierce visage. Yet not even her fingertips touched her, as Celeste bolted suddenly.....delicate feet pounding a rhythim of finality up the stairs as she raced towards what they all could assume would be her room......

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hours later, the lock turned gently beneath the fragile key that prodded it....the door handle descending with the barest of clicks as it eased its way forward. A soft shuffling.....then the wooden aperture swung silently closed once more.

It hadn't been her master's wishes.....but then.....master was busy with Angel and Nastaja right now. Perhaps her place was here for now......here with her friend.....

Siobhan crawled slowly towards the bed.....keeping as silent as an actual cat, the mattress barely moving as the teen lycan rested her head on the bed.

"It'll be alright, Celeste....."

She only hoped those words would hold true one last time.....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As night began to settle across the verdant landscape, the unmistakable sound of tires on gravel made more than one of them flinch. Her lanky form dressed in the most provocative lingerie Michael had to offer, Kira swallowed hard.....a tear nearly escaping one eye as she moved slowly towards the car of a man who wouldn't even be her new master.

Words were exchanged, Lord Vargas' smile was tantamount....obviously enjoying his little victory. With a few more mocking words directed at Michael.....the two of them drove off.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How could you do this?"

Nastaja's head hung shamefully, noting the same look in her sister's face. It was as if he had let them all down.

"You could have fought for her.....could have given her service here some meaning!"

Strangely enough.....it was Siobhan who came to his defense.

"Master did! Kira will be back, you'll see!"

The little kitten was cowed easily enough by the four sets of eyes that turned on her then.....each asking for an explanation she'd been forbidden to give.....

Thick fingers wrapped against the stout would of the mantlepiece, a worried smile just now beginning to creep its way across his face.

"Perhaps Lord Vargas should think a little more highly of "stupid brutes" like myself. I do believe he's going to be rather upset by this time tomorrow."

Moving silently towards the stairs, it was all he could do to drag himself up them.....stress and anxiety eating at him. What if it didn't work? Then he really would have failed her.....and she had been so willing to take the risk too......

And yet, he had his own stake in this......her promise. No matter what....Kira was done running.

With a soft frown, he watched Siobhan slip into Celeste's room with the key he had given her. She'd want her space no doubt...******.....and time once more to readjust. This was her home now....and he was her mate.....that was the life he had sentenced her to.

If she was curious as to what happened while she had slept....why Kira's fresh scent no longer filled the manor house.....well, she'd have to wait.

Michael was tired.
 
Celeste hadn't even moved when Siobhan came into the room - not until the words - the quiet words that caused her brow to knit in frustration..worry..too much. There was too much going on inside of her at the moment to even comprehend..and she wanted out. She wanted a way away from it all..but right now she could only sleep.

She awoke..some time later to a fierce ache in her stomach..but it was a different ache. She was hungry.

She didn't even pay mind to Siobhan for a few moments, her gaze unfocused as she sat up in the bed - letting her eyes slip shut. She had to hide this from them - no one had noticed? She had thought that to be true, having not seen Nastaja's reaction to her..she had been too keen on getting to her room and away from it all.

It was odd that she believed if she hid away from them in that room it would go away - but that was impossible now. This was what she was..and it was her 'duty' as a female in the clan. She was to breed...make the clan bigger - and of course it was comments like that that had her questioning Michael.

Every wink, smile..gentle touch - had it been simply to get her nearer to him? To get her to want to fuck him..every waking moment until she was pregnant? There was very little in her mind that actually leaned to the other side..that it was all genuine. Afterall..he had done this for personal reasons. She was his prey.

"Shio.."

She even sounded weak..still tired even after a sleep that was so much like a dead sleep it was frightening. Probably not even the scent of a fresh kill would have roused her.

"I need something...to eat..can we...find something?" Already she was on her feet, moving into the bathroom for a moment as though testing herself..being close just in case she actually wasn't alright.

Had this been the nausea before? Some brief pain that she hadn't even been aware of because she had been ignoring it so well...and now that it was blatantly obvious..the ache seemed to torment her.

Amber eyes found her reflection in the mirror and she immediately groaned at how poor her colour actually was. She knew Kira was gone..it didn't take but a moment to figure it out, and she moved away from the bathroom after a moment, opening the door to the room. "I don't want to be seen..or heard...just...fed..can you help me with that?"
 
"Shio.."

Siobhan glanced up, more than a little worried. Her new friend didn't look so good, tired...and more than a little wobbly as she made her way to the bathroom.

"I need something...to eat..can we...find something?"

The lycan teen nodded once softly, only marginally happy to be of service. Celeste's hair had lost most of its luster, its red flame now a dull gloss. Siobhan had never seen her like this before.....not since she'd joined them all in the manor....

Scampering on her hands and knees, she placed the top of her head gently against the fox mate's belly....ignoring the beautiful fabric of the dress she still wore to nudge her back towards the bed. Hopefully, she would understand.....though it was Michael's job to hunt.....from there, almost anyone could provide.

Disappearing down the hallways corridors and stairs, Siobhan shifted fully to gain speed.....a pure white housecat streaking through the bare corridors towards the kitchen and the meats she knew were stored there.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"It'll be alright, you'll see...."

Siobhan watched worriedly as Celeste tore into the haunch of venison she had brought....easily mistaking her freind's sudden change in demeanor with her failure to prevent Kira's departure.

"Th-thank you.......for not being mad at me."

It was her turn to feel slightly bad. She had drugged Celeste....honestly hoping that she would find the same love for their master that she had. But now....now she wasn't so sure they were the same at all....and with that realization had come the dread of having lost someone she could have called friend.
 
She actually groaned in response to Siobhan's head against her stomach. It was too close - did she know? Though those thoughts were interrupted immediately after feeling the nudging - she didn't know - she wanted her to get back in bed.

It was only a moment before she did crawl back into bed, shutting her eyes for the time being. She had to think about something constructive..getting Kira back? That was better than thinking about whatever was making her feel like she had been hit by a truck.

Amber eyes opened slowly at her voice, and she was sitting up in a moment, fingers grasping the meat. Again she was defensive over the food - hunching herself over it to make certain that it wasn't going to be taken away.

She was eating greedily as she heard the second bit - the thank you.

Glancing up with ease she focused on Siobhan, lifting her head from the meal in order to tilt it to the side as though in confusion.

"Shio..I want you to understand something.." She spoke quietly - slowly as though to make certain that the girl didn't misinterpret anything. "I will not ever be mad at you. I understand..what you were trying to do - and simply because I was upset..I was mostly upset with Michael..for allowing it - not for you to want it..but it's in the past.."

Her gaze fell again to the meal in her grasp and she shook her head somewhat, pushing it away and wiping her mouth with her hand - not bothering to lick the mess away.

Instead she got to her feet and actually washed her hands off - rinsed her mouth out with water. "..Everything is going to be different now I think.."

There was obvious worry in her voice. She had to keep it from Michael..so she had to force herself to look..natural. Casting a glance to Siobhan Celeste removed the dress and stepped into the shower.

She was in there a long time, leaning against the wall - letting the hot water rain down upon her as she attempted to let it soothe her.

When she did finally step out she dried herself off, pinning her hair back. She still looked..off, but she didn't look terrible.

It was simple for her to pull on a tshirt and shorts, sighing heavily only to move again toward the door, opening it. "..I'm going to go for a walk.." The look of concern on Shio's face was enough to make her smile reassuringly. Really she just wanted to keep moving - because she knew that if she stayed in the room, Michael would surely be able to find her more easily.

Without even waiting approval Celeste was out of the room - even down the stairs and outside..back to the garden. She hid herself there, sitting on the ground, drawing her knees up to her chest only to rest her forehead upon them - shutting her eyes with a sigh.

She didn't care if they were worried about her - because she was worried about Kira - and frustrated that she didn't do anything to help.
 
It would be so easy....

So easy to just sneak up and give her a little nip....a playful reminder of their last game together. That is....if she could.....she had failed then....and would probably just fail again this time around.

Piercing emerald eyes scanned the huddled form of the fox girl, the lithe and spotted form doing well to hide amongst the colored foliage. Good.....she hadn't been noticed yet, Angel's wildflowers doing much to hide her scent. Yet the more she looked....the more troubled she became. Why was Celeste acting this way? So despondant and gloomy? Could it be....that she actually mourned for her?

A soft rustle as she rose was the only whisper on an otherwise still breeze, the cheetah softly creeping forward. Jaw opening slightly, a long tongue flickered out to cleanse her lips of the last bit of blood....she had no desire to alarm her den sister any more than she was going to already.

Fuzzy yellow head lowering, Kira gave the huddled woman a soft bump.....like she'd seen Siobhan do to Nastaja at least a thousand times. Hers was more insistant however.....

Turn around, silly. See? I'm ok!

Instead the words came out as a soft purr as she pressed the flat of her head juat a little harder against her....Celeste's firm and yeilding flesh feeling all too good against her own.

It won't be long now....

When she did finally turn, it was hard for the powerful cat to keep from baring wicked fangs in a smile......Celeste's surprise evident in her eyes. Even as the stunned redhead watched, Kira's form blurred....elongating with a fresh new ease, filling out even as she stretched.....the last of her bones coming back into place with soft pops and gentle crackling.

"Ahhh....much better, don't you think?"

That mischievious grin again....a reminder of her tomboy nature.

"Nice of Lord Vargas to provide lunch for me, yes?"

Kira laughed then, no longer caring who still slept yet in the house as Celeste's jaw dropped suddenly at her words.

"I've Master and Siobhan to thank for this apparently.....I hope the others are as suprised to see me as you are. That was fun!"

Slowly, she settled back to he ground beside Celeste....a long arm tenderly reaching around her to pull her close. '

"Don't tell me you're all torn up over me? You don't really think Master would let me go without a fight do you? Well....ok.....I admit. I thought it at first too....but you know....Vargas was wrong. Michael isn't nearly as stupid as he took him for....and we'll probably be seeing him again very soon."

She gave Celeste another wide grin....doing her best to cheer the poor girl up, having no real idea what her true feelings or problems might be.

"No worries though. As far as anyone knows, that little brat of his just wasn't man enough to handle me......that should show the bastard where my place is. And its right here with you and the others, right?"

For the first time, the were-cheetah gave her companion a slightly annoyed look, especially as she noticed that much of her happiness after the initial shock seemed to look forced.....fake in nature.

"Ok....what happened while I was gone? What's wrong, love? Is everyone ok? Or is Master just being moody again? His plan worked....if that's the case, seeing me should cheer him up plenty."

A slender eyebrow cocked quizzicly, even as Kira pulled the newest member of the clan a little tighter against her own naked form.....

"Come on, Celeste.....out with it. You can tell me, can't you? I know I was harsh the other day with that test. But you passed! And we really learned a lot about you! I didn't get the chance to tell you though.....I thought you were so mad at me.....you're really something else you know. Your natural agility and perception are amazing! Anyway....I'm getting off topic......now what's up, hun?"
