A Kiss For Your Freedom
Chapter 45

- Hands off, I said, laughing, otherwise our new house might well catch fire.

"And that's how you just broke my heart," he said, falsely hurt.

The boys sit at the counter and the three of us have breakfast, in the calm of this idyllic setting.

- I think we're really going to be good here, I said, letting my gaze wander outside.

not to wake them. But that was without counting on their super sense of smell which makes them open their eyes as I start to cook pancakes.

- I'm sure of it, my dear, said Dorian, passing his hand over my cheek. We're going to have some work to get everything set up, but once we're properly set up, we'll be really good.

- For security reasons, I would be in favor of fortifying our position. Let's place a few traps around our land, ust to be sure.

I quite agree, replies Dorian. You can never be too careful.

- And if not, before talking about traps, wars, fights or anything else, couldn't we start by taking a tou

property?

- Of course my dear, sorry, we just want to be sure that no one will come and attack us, or you. Neither Jason nor I would stand for anything to happen to you. It may seem a little excessive to you, but we only want to protect you.

- I know, sweetheart, I said, sighing. Okay then, you do your scouting to know where you put your traps white we tour the property, that seems like a good compromise to me, right?

- Excellent compromise, love, declares Jason, getting up to come and kiss me.

We finish eating peacefully and more than an hour later, we are all outside to discover this territory that is ours. POV Loïc

I managed to bring his sister back here without the slightest difficulty. These humans are so easily corruptible, they will do anything for money. I know I can't use her as bait, it won't work a second time, but she has enough information on her to be useful to me. She must know these friends, these weak points, these greatest fears, although I have an idea for that. Now that they have marked him, they are his priority, they are the most important thing in the world, losing them must be his worst nightmare.

I sigh as I guide her into a room in the pack house. Humans aren't supposed to come here, but I'd rather have her on hand and anyway, it's not like she's in any position to refuse.

Ophélie left last night and she has already joined one of my teams with several of these Wolves. I wouve preferred that she stayed at home. The pain and anger prevent her from thinking properly, prevent her from focusing on what she should be doing and not on this revenge she desires so much.

I hope they will quickly replace his trace because even if I called on all my contacts, I found no trace of them. They have to pay for everything in cash and no longer have a cell phone, no GPS, I have no way of locating them.

I walk towards my office, sighing. I would still have preferred an open war between our packs, that at least I know how to manage but the pain of my daughter and especially the prospect of confronting the former leader of my army, that is much more difficult for

me.

My Luna enters shortly after me and sticks to my back, putting her arms around my waist. She's the only one who can really approach me and has been for years.

-You'll see, it'll be okay, my Wolf, she said, resting her head against my back.

- I would like to be as sure as you, my Wolf. I would really like.

- You are stronger than Dorian, you always have been, you don't have to fear him.

- In raw strength, I have no doubt, but he knows it as much as I do, in a battle, the mental is often more important than the rest and Ophélie remains a disruptive element. A free electron, so immersed in her suffering that she risks putting herself in danger as well as putting us in danger.

- I can't imagine what she feels, I would rather die than have to live without you.

- I know my Wolf and you can believe me, it's the same for me, but Ophélie rushes headlong, she doesn't realize how dangerous he can be, not to mention that her companion is a former Beta, he's almost as strong as him.

- That doesn't mean that everything is a foregone conclusion. You have been at the head of this pack for many years and you have always managed to get us out of any bad situation. You will succeed this time too my Wolf, I have confidence in you. I have always trusted you.

She lets her hands caress my arms in a gesture that is meant to be comforting. Either way, the die is cast, I can no longer go back and tell Ophélie that I'm abandoning her, however, I don't like it. The future will tell us if I was right to follow her, if I was right to give her my support when I could have done nothing to prevent her from going alone.

POV Jason

We arrived two weeks ago already and I must say that we worked really well. Dorian has gold at his fingertips. He creates and builds so quickly that it blows my mind. Little by little, he fills us up while Emma makes the atmosphere so much more pleasant by adding her own touch.

It's crazy how cold her apartment was while there, she manages to bring life to this house with only a few objects, or even when she simmers small dishes that perfume everything around.

I finished setting the traps two days ago. I feel safer this way, after all, Ophelia could seek revenge although I doubt she could replace us here. Certainly,

We're starting to replace our little routine. The installation is quite spartan, but thanks to solar panels which were installed on the roof we have electricity and the water comes directly from the well connected to the installation. On the other hand, for the kitchen, it's a bit old-fashioned with an old gas stove that runs on wood. I understand the logic of the previous owners, it's not easy to bring gas bottles here and I suppose that in winter, energy is a rare commodity.

We started fishing because even if we brought provisions, we might as well save them as much as possible and when it comes to meat, between Dorian and me, I don't worry, our Wolves will be happy to hunt.

Besides, my Wolf is starting to want to stretch his legs, it must be said that the last time he showed up was at his cursed sister's house. I'm not in the habit of leaving him like this without giving him his freedom. I know Emma accepts us as we are, but since I marked her, my Wolf hasn't had the time to really get to know her and it's starting to weigh on him.

I come home with my arms loaded with wood which I place next to the gas stove. Emma hangs laundry outside while Dorian is in the outbuilding working. I walk over to her and hug him before kissing his mark.

She moaned softly, shivering as I told her.

- My Wolf would like to meet you love. He's only been passing you since I marked you and I have to say I'm having more and more trouble keeping him in place.

- With pleasure, darling, she said, turning towards me.

- You don't have to worry, he won't hurt you. He just needs to meet you.

- I'm not afraid, I know very well that he will never hurt me, she replies, smiling.

I kiss him tenderly before starting to undress.

- I must say that this transformation story always starts very well, she says, smiling as her gaze passes over my naked body.

- Nothing forces me to get dressed after love.

- I take note of that.

The next second I let my Wolf take over and he rushes at her to lick her face while she bursts out laughing, running her hands through my fur. He's a little too demonstrative, I know, but he's been waiting for it for so long that I'm having trouble holding him back. He places his muzzle on her shoulder, inhaling her scent deeply.

- I'm happy to meet you too, she said, hugging him a little closer to her. You are truly a magnificent Wolf, she continues, almost making him purr like a big cat.

I can only have fun feeling him react like this to her. He only knows her through me and yet, if she asked him, he would lie on his back so she could caress his stomach. She buries her face in his fur and gives him a hug that makes him the happiest of all. I turn my head slightly when I feel Dorian coming and immediately Emma looks at him before opening her arms a little wider and saying to him, - You

should know that if there is room for one, there is room for two, my Wolf, she declares, smiling at him.

And as I do, I see him undress before transforming and coming to join us. Immediately, our Wolves rub their heads together in an affectionate gesture before they turn their attention to her. Dorian's Wolf gives her a big lick on the cheek, making her smile a little

more.

- I missed you too, my Wolf, she said, resting her head against his.

It's so good to see her like this with us, without any fear in her eyes,

- What would you say about taking advantage of this beautiful sun to go and enjoy the forest for a bit?

If I were in human form, I could burst out laughing seeing our Wolves wagging their tails, impatient to roam our lands alongside them. I feel that Dorian is as amused as I am by their reactions as she starts laughing when she sees us doing it.

We move towards the forest, it remains in our midst, a hand on each of us and for the first time, the predators that we are make it known that they are there.
