Iris and Fealie Tae sat at tea with Yoongi, Nora and the Pixies. It was their little get to know each other party.

Everyone held teacups sipping on different teas. Earl Grey, Dandelion, Hibiscus. The Pixies were more than thrilled to meet the consorts of the Fealie heads.

Nora and Iris had bonded, having much in common. It extended past their stubborn, intelligent poised partners.
The two females smiled and talked to the Pixies with an air of respect yet lightness.

The energies in the Fealie Palace had improved drastically, in that more positive energy could be felt.

This put the other Fealies at ease.
More could be done and faster. Energy channeled through properly.
It was like using electricity instead of a half dead gas generator (no offense to King Yoongi).

"Wow you look happy now King Yoongi! Are you happy?" Twyla asked inquisitive.
Nora chuckled and Yoongi stiffened awkwardly.

Fealie Tae grinned at the King.

"Yeah you look... more awake..." Douglas said assessing him.
A smile graced Tae's face, silently agreeing with the Pixies.

"Fealie Tae looks less stressed about." Twyla said, pointing straight at him, as if calling him out on his bluff.
Straightening himself and clearning his throat he avoided their contact.
Iris elbowed him mischievously.

"Are you going to have children?" Angelo asked almost speaking normally.
Nora and Iris looked at their spouses eyebrows shooting up with interest.

Fealie Tae had gone red in the face and Yoongi had grew silent.

"Who wants to see the rainbows over at the lake?" Iris asked smiling at the little Pixies.
"Bob!"
"Ana!" (Me)
"Oo ha, oo acha hoga!" (Yeah, that would be good!)
"That'll be delightful."
"The sun will set soon. Let us go at once! That's a good idea. I agree!"

Iris grinned at Tae. Saving them all. Recently the consorts had gotten to be quiet romantic, however, their spouses looked to be near tears and would avoid them. The two Fealie heads looked so tense and akward.

However, they knew what it was. The official bonding ceremony a private affair.
They shared a bed and united themselves completely. But for some reason the shy ones weren't the females.

The King and his First in order would avoid their consorts and busy themselves with courtly matters though not much was needed to be done.
Everything was smooth sailing which deflated their hopes.

While they could conceive the way humans did, Fealies avoided that all costs. It only happened if they both mentally wanted to and willingly agreed to conceive. It was rare, they preferred to have Fealies form out of positive energy.

The Pixies clapped and jumped with excitement as they chattered about their visit to see the rainbows when the door opened and Aldan walked in, bowing low.

"Ohh dear." Twyla said, knowing that this meant they would have to leave.

"Ab ka!?" (Now what!?) Bijili said irritated.

Aldan had to take them back to Concordia to meet their Queen.
"It's a summon by the Pixie Queen." Aldan said firmly.

"Kahe?" (Why?) Bijli asked cheekily, lying on his side, elbow propped up and hand waving in the air.

"I actually don't know the reason. All I know is we need to leave soon. I am sure another will be arranged." He said placatingly.

Nora nodded in agreement, "Yes indeed. You will always be welcomed here." She said warmly, encouraging them to make a good decision.

Latif sighed with resignation, "Yallah, amshee." (Come on lets go.)

Begrudgingly the Pixies woke up and bid goodbye properly to the Fealies. They thanked them for tea and left with Aldan. Twyla curtseyed, little stumpy legs bending low.
In a hurry and flourish the Pixies had left.

The drawing room was left with a foreboding silence. An atmosphere charged with an electric anticipation filled the room.

A silent look passed Yoongi and Tae, they were alone with their spouses. Side eyeing each other nervously they tried to casually wake up only to be caught by their respective partners. They were dragged into their rooms and spent the rest of the day there.

Ether tribe:

As the seasons changed, it brought a time for new beginnings and growth. This season marked many new good things for the supernatural beings of Concordia.

Many more were yet to be mated and many more were yet to extend their family.

Timid colours of pastel seeped into the earth again. Light pinks, pale greens, baby blues. It all softly welcomed a new beginning.

For the Ether tribe it only reminded and added to the joy they shared.

Jimin currently sat perched on the side of the bed next to Dawn, holding his little baby, his eldest pup. The first wolf born in the Ether clan. The baby wolf cooed and preened, wriggling slightly. Smiling softly Jimin placed his son in the crib next to his other two pups.

Dawn had given birth to three shifter wolves, two sons and a little baby girl.

The elder two of them were born with chocolate brown coloured hair that changed colour when their mood shifted. As a result their hair would change from purple to blue, from green to yellow or from red to teal at any random time if they were hungry or scared. Their baby girl however was born with snowy white hair, that also changed colour when she was hungry or needed changing.

Jimin sat down next to Dawn and smiled warmly. His heart was full, it soared higher than the mountains they lived on.

It was a quiet, sunny Friday afternoon and Jimin and Dawn had just finished feeding and changing their week old pups.

Dawn had gone into labor the previous Friday, screaming and thrashing around.
Coincidentally almost everyone had gone on a bonding spree and they were all alone.

As wolves these things came naturally and Jimin remembered hearing the females of the clan talk about this.
So early that afternoon, Jimin calmed his mate down and reassured her he was there. "I am the one that got you pregnant and I'll be the one helping you with the birth." He said confidently that day.

Dawn had no complications and the birthing went smooth and successful.
Three perfect pups were born. They were so tiny and delicate. Jimin and Dawn's bond only grew deeper after that. They needed no one else and that they could rely on each other go such an extent, made them happy as ever.

That evening when the wolves returned they sniffed the air detecting new blood.
They were shocked to see Jimin and Dawn sit flanking their newborn pups in the middle of the bed.

The Ether tribe let out a triumphant howl letting everyone know that they were growing in numbers. That the new blood of a free Ether tribe had been born. The first after the war.

The days that followed was full of happy tears. The other tribes had come in to share their well wishes and congratulations. Everyone brought gifts and food.

The Ether clan was filled with chatter and happiness. The once empty cabin Jimin and Dawn lived in, now was full and happy.

Jimin and Dawn named them Storm, Gail and Snow.

"Why don't we name the eldest Butch!" Jungkook asked excitedly when they were picking names.

Clive rolled his eyes, "No. That sounds awful." He replied.

Jimin let out a relived breath, only to hear him say.

"How about Snuffles."

Dawn who was still crabby and irritable  with her raging hormones frowned. "I think not. Both are terrible." She replied crossly tapping her eldest to sleep and holding him protectively.

"Slate?" Hoeseok asked. The couple looked at each other. Cocking her head to the side she hummed. "It sounds nice, I'll keep it on my list." She smiled.

"I know for our baby girl, I'd like to name her snow." Jimin said softly, caressing his daughters head lovingly.

Dawn smiled, admiring how handsome and attractive he was in his paternal element.
Their eldest wailed loudly, lungs sending  out a powerful shrill. Seeing him cry thr second eldest began wailing in unison, all the while the baby girl slept on peacefully.

"Powerful lungs they have no?" Ethan commented clapping his hands over his ears.

Jimin and Dawn looked at each other, eyes twinkling. An unspoken understanding passed and the two nodded. "I like name Storm." He said.
"And Gail." She completed smiling up at him.

With that their babies were named.
All the wolves agreed, they were wonderful names.

The pack had left the room, giving the mew family some privacy. Luna had ushered everyone into the living room, where they had tea and finger foods.

"Hey how come you not having pups Alpha?" Ethan turned suddenly to Hoeseok.
By now the other tribes including the Ether tribe had understood the situation of the Earth alpha. The omegas however were still green and unaware.

Hoeseoks eye twitched.  Smiling dryly he said, "Funny you should ask."

Jungkook shrugged when Ethan stared at him questioningly.
"Well I hope to be an uncle soon okay." Ethan said dropping the subject.

Hoeseok stared at Marina a mixture of want and sadness in his face.
They had to be the only mated pair that hadn't bonded physically yet. It had been months now that they were together.

Luna and Jonathen looked at each other and nodded. "Umm so we were wondering. We'd like to spend a few days with the other members. Perhaps have like a picnic and a hunt. It's nice and warmer now. It would be fun." Jonathen said broaching the topic.

Jungkooks ears perked up. He looked at the others from his tribe who had matching expressions. "Please can we go. Please alpha! Please please please!" He said jumping on the spot and giving him his best puppy eyes.

Hoeseok smiled indulgently, "Sure." He said ruffling Jungkooks hair.

Tae-hyung tried to get off the bed but Iris  caught him, pinning him down.
His robes were disheveled and hair unkept. The Fealie usually had braids hanging down either side his face, pinning the rest of his hair back.
Silver hair hung loose around him, he pushed it back with his long thin fingers.

His outer robe discarded, and inner one open to expose his smooth, lean chest. Something no one should ever see, except for his consort.
The robed slid down to expose his muscular shoulders. Tae-hyung leaned back, holding himself up with his hands.

Iris crawled between him and smiled lasciviously, her eyes shone, flaring at seeing him so deliciously displayed.

Her voice was husky and deep with lust and wantoness. "How I'd like to drizzle honey over you and then lick it off..." she whispered rubbing her nose against his.

Touching her forhead to his, she nuzzled him affectionately smiling. It was a powerful force this mating business.
She became something else, a creature of lust and desire. It would go away when she got what she wanted, hopefully never to return.

He almost missed the old her, witty and snappy.

Tilting her head, she captured his lips with hers and kissed him. Slowly sliding her lips against his in an attractive, coaxing kiss.

Shutting his eyes closed, Tae-hyung slowly melted into her touch and answered back with tenderness.

She placed soft tender kisses all over his exposed skin. So much to touch and how attractive too, Iris went mad not sure what to do next.
Tae-hyung grasped her shoulders confidently now, a patient yet firm look on his face. Love and heat flaring now in his eyes. Flipping her into her back, he hiked one of her legs up holding it over his broad shoulder.

Eyes widening in wonder, she watched him place a kiss on the side of her knee where he held her.

Looking straight and deep into her eyes, he smiled, though now mischievously. "You and I locked away in our room for the rest of the day? Oh my how I worry for you." He said lustfully.
"I only held back for your sake..."
Iris gasped looking at he carnal predator that pinned her down.

.

A similar story was occurring with the King, although Nora's courage had run out the moment the room doors banged close. Anxiety and nervousness coursed through her.

The previous Fealie King had conceived Yoongi with his consort, which is how Yoongi became King thereafter.
She wondered if he expected her to do the same.

Fiddling with her fingers and timidly watching him take his outer robe out, her heart pumped faster, panicked.

"Wow he looks amazing. So, so, so dashing and mighty. What large shoulders, what a strong back. Imagine it bare..." she wondered to herself.

Turning around and looking at her amused Yoongi lifted a questioning brow.

"What's so funny to him? Gosh that look makes him even more handsome! Stop! Gosh it's too much. His smile is so majestic." She whined internally.

"Thank you." He answered smiling crookedly.
Gasping her eyes wide she remembered their thoughts were connected.

"Heavens!!!"
Yoongi chuckled, eyes crinkling.

He pulled the ribbon that held his robe together, the knot unraveling. They material fell off sliding down to the floor.
Yoongi stood bared chested infront of her.

"Here." He said softly, warm smile gracing his mouth.
"You wanted to see right? I'll give you anything you wish for." He told her telepathically.

Nora lifted her eyes, slowly she took him in. Pale smooth skin, toned muscles. Shoulders that stood proud, arms that were chiseled perfectly.

Yoongi looked different, ethereal like this. He stood with his hair open around him, semi nude. And just for her. Only her.

That thought was the most wonderful thing to ever grace her mind.
Nora walked forward shyly and embraced him. Cheek sitting on his shoulder, arms wrapped tightly around him.

She took Yoongi by surprise but he recovered fast and wrapped his arms around her, making her feel secure and safe.

She breathed in his scent which was so unique but fitting for a Fealie.
He smelt of flowers, ripe pears and clove. Her eyes fluttered close.

Gently letting go, Yoongi trailed a hand over her abdomen, tugging at her ribbons. "May I ?" He asked raising an expectant brow.
"You may, always." She answered back.

Pulling it free and pushing the fabric off her shoulders, Yoongi lifted Nora and placed her onto their bed. The linen ice to the touch. "We'll warm it up soon..." he said grinning wide.

"For now... we can just stay like this. Hold each other. I am at peace when I am with you. And thats the most beautiful feeling to share with you. I'll wait until you are ready dear." He replied in a calming deep voice.

Snuggling up to him, Nora nodded, eyes hooded.

The Earth tribe omegas and Beta were meeting up with some of the other omegas from other clans and the entire Ether tribe.

Further down the mountains, along side a stream, a large tent was put up.
Blankets were strewn about but that was about it. They wolves planned on getting in touch with their natural wilder side.

They were going on a hunt,  they'd catch fish, wild boar and hare. They'd make their own feast.

They planned on running free as wolves and sleeping curled up.

Jonathen had supplies for a bonfire and blankets incase it got chilly but that was unlikely seeing as it was now warmer.

The wolves stampeded out of the Earth cabin early morning.
"Byeeeee."
"See you in three days!!!"
"Byeee alphaaaaaa."
The wolves called running out.

"Wow." Hoeseok said leaning against the main door with a hot mug of tea.
He watched them go cooking his head to the side. "I can hear myself think..." he said to Marina, laughing lightly.

She smiled up at him, "I can see you naked..." she teased jokingly. But her words caught Hoeseok in a primal way.
Narrowing his eyes and zeroing his focus on her he hummed sexily.

"If I knew we'd wait so long, I would have given into my senses and taken you right there that day in the quiet mountains." He commented, making her blush deep.

Turning on her heel, Marina ran off, feeling embarrassed and nervous.
Giving into chase, Hoeseok grinned wolvishly, slamming his mug down on the lounge table and sprinting after her.

Running up from behind her and catching her, he pounced, the two bouncing onto the bed. Licking his lips he ran his tongue down her neck.
"That's a rather long tongue that." She breathed out.
"Aha..."

Instincts going crazy, his Fangs elongated, eyes diluting and turning red.
Marina moved to face him, taking in the feral wolf that watched her every move.

Gulping at the sharpness of his fangs she  said, "Wow, W-what sharp teeth you have."
Huffing out a laugh he said, "All the better to bite you with. To claim you with..."

He sunk his teeth into her shoulder enjoying the feel of it. Marina shut her eyes close, the intensity of everything making her dizzy.

Releasing his hold he licked his lips. He stripped, unbuckeling his pants and yanking them down.

Her eyes widened looking at his crotch.
"That's not going to fit." She said honestly.
"It will perfectly." He said confidently.

" No it won't, why it's too large!" She exclaimed.
Smiling smugly, he held the side of her face, "All the better to fu-..."  she clapped a hand over his mouth, muffling his words.
"... you with." He finished, removing her hands.

For the first time he showed her his full power as a land wolf. Closing his eyes and concentrating, the ground rattled ever so slightly, waved of energy directed to the door, slamming it close.

Turning slowly he looked at her. "Come now, we'll take this slow." He said smiling down at her.

The wailing of a baby sliced through the air. Gail, the second baby was crying. Chubby cheeks gone pink, tears running down his face. Jimin woke up with a jolt, getting off to see what was wrong.

He cooed at his son, lifting him up and rocking him. "What's the matter with my little pup. Shhhhhhh, you hungry? Okay let's go to Mama." He spoke softly.

Of the three, Gail cried the most. They just changed them an hour ago so it meant that he was hangry now.
Dawn sat up, taking him from Jimin, "hungry?" She asked knowing.
"You know it." He said smiling at her.

Snow cooed and made cute little gurgling sounds now awake too.
"Hey there little princess. Hey there snow." Jimin spoke sweetly. The baby laughed and giggled up at him.

Storm lay fast asleep, little hands placed on either side of him.
Jimin sat down holding Snow in his arms, while Dawn fed Gail.
They put them back to bed after a while.

The entire atmosphere warm and fuzzy. Jimin held Dawn in a side hug by the waist, with her head resting on his chest.
They looked at their three sleeping pups, gifts from heaven to them.

"Are you okay hunny? How are you holding up?" He asked her.
Smiling sleepily she answered, "I am doing fine, just exhausted is all."
"Come on." He led her to their bed, tucking her in.
Kissing her forhead, he whispered as she  immediately fell asleep, "Sleep well love."

The evening clouds huddled together, darkening the sky. Thick Grey clouds covered the entire area, reflecting the emotions Duri felt inside.

The Water alpha sat solemnly on the steps outside his cabin. A forlorn look on his face. Staring at the land infront of him, mind busy with thoughts.

"Other omegas are getting mated. I am still alone..."

"I thought that all the alphas would first..."

His thoughts ate away at his heart, making it constrict.

"I wouldn't worry about things that are beyond my control." Came a voice from his side. Duri jumped, surprised to find a person here in the mountains.

An old lady, with leathery skin, darkened from age and Grey hair pulled into a low loose plait stood next to him.

"How did you get up here miss?" He asked worried. Hastily he got off and approached her.
She held her hands up, "I am fine. I had help my dear." Thunder rolled out warning them of a storm in low rumbles.

"It's getting cold, come inside." He said ushering her inside.
He sat her down at the table in the kitchen, gently helping her.
He lit a flint and set his stove alight, making a pot of tea. Setting it to brew he sat down opposite her.

"How did you come here?" He asked worried.
"My my, how concerned for an old lady, that you'd sacrifice your own thoughts."
"Huh?"

Sighing heavily she set her cane aside. "I came to visit an old friend, the path is long from here to there but its straight with no bumps or hills. Makes it easy for me knees." She said grinning cheekily.

Duri smiled softly. "Would you like me to escort you back?" He asked kindly.
"No my dear, I'll be fine. My work will be done after this." She replied cryptically.

The teapot whistled. Duri poured two cups of tea and set it on the table.
He placed a plate of sponge cake next to it. Gesturing with his hands and smiling, a little dimple forming on one cheek he said, "Please do have some."

"What manners for someone who grew up with little maternal guidance."

"I am greatful for what I had, compared to the pups now. But being a good male is a choice that each individual makes."
He replied, smiling softly, kind eyes crinkling.

She nodded, sipping her tea. Taking a bite of cake she chewed thoughtfully.
"With someone so good at life, you should no doubt be a wonderful mate." She said in her old creaky voice.

The light from Duri's eyes flickered. A downcast look spread on his face. "That might not just happen. I am lone wolf." He said softly.

Ignoring him she exclaimed, "My goodness! What fantastic cake. Did you make this my son?" She asked already knowing the answer.

He nodded, appreciation for her praise clear on his face.
"How long did this bake for? Around twenty mintues?" She asked.

He shook his head in negation, "No that's too soon, it's a bigger amount. It needs a full hour." He replied.

"I see." She croaked.

The rest of the time went by quietly, with them talking about baking and different recipes. An hour later she got up ready to leave.

"I must be off my son, it shall be late and very dark out soon." She replied warmly, hobbling her way to the door.
"It's dark out. A heavy storm is coming down, why not stay until it's bright and safe?" He asked concerned.

Twisting  the door she smiled wistfully, "Oh would you look at that. The wind from the storm probably pushed the clouds away. Well just as well, I must hurry back." She said.

Duri looked outside to see the sky clear and storm gone as if it never happened.

Standing on his step outside she turned, smiling brightly, "Oh one more thing, those scones we spoke about. Bake it for twenty minutes yes?"
Smiling affectionately he nodded, "Yes."

"And the pound cake?"
"Fourty minutes, higher heat."

She nodded in thought.

"The best were those croissants you were telling me about. Quiet a long process no?" She commented.

He hummed, nodding in answer,  "It's worth it though. The taste is impeccable."

A crooked smile formed on the old lady's face. "Indeed."
"Life is similar no? Everyone bakes differently. According to their fate. Their life."
Duri looked at her, struck with the meaning.

Smiling warmly she waved goodbye, "Thank you for showing me kindess son, even though you were in your own misery. Bless you child. May you find unlimited happiness soon." She said walking off.

He watched the determined woman walk straight with no issue. She didn't  need the stick much now. "Maybe the tea warmed her up?"

A distance down she turned calling over to him, "I hear the glade further down has wonderful stone fruit. Best to grab some for a nice peach cobbler no?" She looked younger, smooth skin, with a glowing face. With a final charming smile she turned and walked away.

Duri shook his head and squinted. Thinking his mind was making it up. How could she be young all of a sudden.

Rubbing his eyes, he headed inside for an early night.

The next morning he found himself walking to the glade further down. He apparently was on his way to collect peaches. Shaking his head he said, "Not like I have anything better to do..."

Sniffing the air he scented something wonderful, turning to follow the scent he followed up until he reached the glade. Peach trees ripe with fruit as far as the eye could see. But that wasn't the scent he picked up. Licking his lips, and falling into a trance he followed the scent, weaving around the trees.

Hearing a rustling he approached a large, tall peach tree. Ripe fruit and leaves fell from the movement, growling low in his throat he said "Mate."

"Woahhhh!!!!" Came a feminine voice, followed by a petite woman falling from a high branch. Fueled by sharp quick Instincts, he dashed forward and caught her deftly. Holding her in his arms, he was met with warm yellow-honey colored eyes.

The woman stared at him in shock and wonder. Like a deer caught by surprise. Large eyes trained on him.
She squeaked softly, lower lip trembling.

He hummed contently, setting her down.
"Thank you." She rasped.

"You shouldn't climb trees and do anything dangerous.  Ask for help." He said firmly. She nodded wordlessly.

"I never want to see that again." He said crossly.
"Huh?" Shw blinked up at him.

Holding her shoulders, he said, "Mate."
Licking his lips.
