Overview

At-a-girl. Austin felt a genuine smile grow on his face beneath that thing he called a beard. He knew Brigita was as loyal as they came, stray or no, she would make ease with the trials ahead. Her statement of embarrassing him made no difference in his feelings for her nor did it dampen the confidence in the woman. Fierce is what the Alpha always thought of her, honest and loyal. "Good. Then let us finish here. We can discuss business later." Gently did Austin take his hand from his love, and gently did he speak. Then there was no mistake, by his wordings and how he spoke, Austin was obviously on a positive note with his and Brigita's decision. There was no mistake, Austin actually seemed... Happy, content, and again all the more confident. Without further ado, the Alpha continues the remnant of his now-cool meal, opting to finish it now before it got too cold to really enjoy.

Brigita gave a soft smile as her shoulders relaxed feeling his warmed along her hand. Using her other hand she would pet this Alpha’s large paw. His strong presence put her at ease if even for a little while. Bringing his hand to her lips she kissed his knuckles, an action of great respect and endearment as she nuzzled her cheek to the back of his hand. “Mmmhmmm thank you Austin. You have no idea how much that means to me.” Her voice loud enough for him to hear, soft and showing genuine thanks for his comforting words. Her soft blue pools looked up to him when he mentioned the meeting of the Alpha’s. It was exclusive and very private, only the Alpha’s and their respective Luna’s were allowed. Considering her history she may embarrass him, may cause issues with just her presence alone. However him asking her to go made her giddy inside. “Hawaii sounds fun. I would love to go once I pass the trails for the Midnight Pack. This way there is no push back on having someone like me being your Luna.” there was a hint of sadness in her voice when she said this. Titles and rank meant a lot, exiled wolves like herself regardless of the reasons for such a banishment, Were not looked kindly upon which for some was alright but others it would take a toll. Wolves were social creatures after all. A long moment passed before her thumbs would pet at his knuckles. “Austin, you always look ten steps ahead so I trust your judgement. I don’t want to be a burden or cause you more strife in this life. I want to be a pillar that will help bolster the Midnight pack along with yourself. Years may have passed between us but I want nothing more than to make sure you succeed and prosper.” She looked much softer than before, a serene beauty she seemed to master over the years. “So I am very honored to be supporting you in this journey. And I know you asked me but if you continue to choose me I promise to do my damnedest until my dying breath to see that happen for you, for us.” Her words were confident and firm, and yet she was giving off a gentle energy only a seasoned Luna could give.

Why did he have to ask such questions at simple, lovely times like this? Maybe his father was right, maybe he did have ADHD? Shaking his head, Austin took an elegant hand into his large paw he called a hand. Brigita truly has grown, not just as a woman or a wolf, but as a Luna. Only the strong can make the toughest of choices, the hardest of decisions that required sacrifice and grit, that required Alphas to be Alphas. But these decisions? Culling the weak? Harems? These decisions were of a pup, not a wolf. He tended to forget which city it was the beautiful blonde went off to, but Austin could have sworn he's had a run in with that pack's hierarchy at last year's Gathering of the Beasts; an ancient practice where the leadership of the largest, oldest, and even sometimes newest packs gathered for a grand meeting. The world of the wolf was as old as time, and these gatherings ensured that the highest of ranks were kept in check, major packs keeping to their territory and the likes; very similar to how a business was ran where managers were made sure to have their area's taken care of. And the Gathering of the Beasts was coming up again, and who else was invited but the Midnight Alpha himself? There was an up and coming Alpha here, a young lad named Raphael who wanted to prove himself a future capable candidate for Alpha in case something happened to Austin. A mad lad, that one, but he garnered the respect of the larger wolf that tutored him. Squeezing Brigita's hand slightly to ensure that she was heard but also in the presence of one she loved, Austin nodded at her last statement. He said calmly and low in that grizzly tone only he talked to her with, "Then I will be there by your side. Whatever decision you make, I will respect it, and should you need aid you have my full support. I know you care for these people, I know you have made bonds with some. Here soon there... Is a gathering of Alpha's across the globe taking place in Hawaii, and hearing you speak and the way you manage, I would ask you to join me to this convention; I could need your help." If Brigita agrees then it was settled, Raphael would take temporary control of the Midnight, and Austin and the woman would take off for at least one week. It wasn't just him asking for help or just for shits and giggles, it was his way of getting the Luna to be more confident in not only herself but her abilities. To show her the real world of the wolf and how... Organized? Semi-organized it was, and how it functioned. This offer was a once in a lifetime deal, that, and knowing Austin, he would indefinitely show Brigita a good time. She could use the break it seemed.

A soft chortle came from her as she gazed over to him knowingly. “Isn’t it though? You just have that effect on me~” she bit her bottom lip as she stretched upward showing off her assets and physique that seemed to get better with age. Werewolves aged in reverse it seemed if the genes were well maintained. But this was also a flex to show what he can have whenever he wants. Once her switch was flipped Brigita was fairly flirtatious even if only coy and playful. Brigita just had her omelet and toast as she spread the jam and butter on the warm bread. It tasted so good freshly toasted. The jam and melted butter met her lips and she moaned out in delight happy for the smaller things in life. She was happy, content with how things were going. The day was beautiful, like a new light shined down on everything. She knew she had to pass tests to be with him and she was prepared for that. It was worth it, he was worth it and this pack that initially raised her was worth it. She wanted to see them thrive and grow, she wanted to support Austin with her entire being. Sex and what ever comes of it was a blessed bonus. cutting up her omelet she would take some bites between her tea and stealing glances as his large meal. Every so often their eyes would meet and the silent flirting would continue. Her meal being much smaller she finished rather quickly, wiping her hands and mouth with the paper napkins provided, the ones that seemed to always tear at the wrong time due to their cheapness. Her body froze when she heard him ask about her other pack. If she had anything in her mouth she might have choked. Did he really want to know this information? Straightening herself and seemingly in a nervous habit she was making herself presentable even though she was perfectly fine. She hadn’t thought about having to answer many questions just yet but it was bound to happen. “While there were those who were loyal to me and the former Alpha it was more towards him. His family their bond and everything.” She rested her forearms on the table entraining her fingers as she held the empty mug of tea, still warm lingered from its contents. “I will say a few have asked, both new and old, once I get settled if they might be able to come with. I’m still in communication with them and they are essentially giving me a play by play of how they went back to the ‘Old Ways’ of doing things. So I worry for their safety.” She seemed genuinely concerned as her body language no longer showed her being as open. The Old Ways, a term used for the barbaric way of taking young pup and teaching them the brutality of the world instead of letting them be children. Where the weak don’t survive long and the strong rule. Harem like practices which hinders population growth and other tortuous methods that even wolves in the wild didn’t practice. While this is mostly outlawed or taboo for obvious reasons many feel that times were making packs soft and ignorant to threats like uncooperative vampires and the like. “Austin I want to help them find other packs if not join this one. As an exiled Luna I have no sway anymore and I can’t do anything.” A wave of frustration came across her features. Austin knew that this usually led to tears but not in sorrow so much as anger and contempt for the situation. She wore her heart on her sleeve and she was a wolf for her people even if many of them did not like that she was an outsider at first. “I’m not sure if that is what you wanted to hear but it’s the situation going on right now.” Her voice trembled and she held back the tears by looking down at the empty plates of food.

Take your time, we'll be here

Had some family things pop up I’m sorry for any replies pending. I will do better

Will get replies in when I can... Requires brain power all of which has gone to working unfortunately

Hunter then nodded his head now as they spoke of the alpha and dipped his head a little bit "I can respect that.... either way welcome to the town you three" he said stretching a little bit "I am Hunter one of the warriors of the pack" he said as he looked the three over. His eyes trailed to May but seeing as they were new he did not let his eyes linger. He liked to flirt but first impressions were everything. "I am sure you three will love it here" he said now "Plenty of things to do" he said humming a bit "Lots of strange things to..." he said shrugging before looking at the group

That'll work.

All good cn make it a more preference based thing so like she does have a human fom but prefers the non human one... sound good??

Here soon, I'll be adding other factions into Pineheath. NPC mostly. But figured it'd add some flavor to the area. @Sinful Vampire Also I had to do a doubletake on your most recent character, would you mind giving her a Human form? Don't think a full time real life furry spelunking in public would be a good look for the town lol

"Hmph! You say that as if it's my fault." Austin retorted with a huff, obviously playing into what the woman said. Austin's meal consisted of six large sandwiches, egg and steak with mayo on Texas toast. His side consisted of a massive basket of seasoned curly fries or, "Susie Q's," As what some townsfolk called them. It was obvious that the larger plate of food was still quite warm, and with his coffee almost gone so was the food to be soon. Using a knife, Austin cut each of the sandwiches in half triangles to help with portioning, not that it matters since he usually finishes his plate. It was... A surprisingly nice day. Aside from the sunny weather, the Alpha was away from the mansion and the pack, he woman he craved was across from him rubbing a foot along his calf, and he had a hefty meal in front. Well, technically two hefty meals, if he adds Brigita for those times. And so he ate, Shelly checking on the pair every so often for refills of coffee, tea, and water. Of course the older woman scolded Austin for damn near crushing his coffee mug in the palm of his hand, lecturing him about expenses and the likes which it wasn't the first he's heard. Nor was it to be the last. Austin looked over to Brigita and asked, "I did have a question, about the pack you left if you don't mind. Were there other's willing to join you back here, or were they all so stuck where they were?"

//Sorry for the wait boss, been busy// "Oh! Yes!" May was the first to say until she went back on that answer, "Well... In a way, we are new to the town. Our Uncle Auvunux welcomed us while Father dealt with the packs at home!" Ricard was the second to speak, "Our Uncle happens to be your Alpha. It's our first time in this town... Cozy little place, didn't think it would have been this big but obviously I was wrong. That said, who are you?"

Brigita appreciated his control. If he wasn’t in control she would have lost it as well. He still tasted like she remembered, even through the taste of coffee. Damn still scrumptious as ever! his tongue was larger, writhing against her own, his saliva tasted so good. The scruff of his beard felt so nice. Back when they were younger he used to shave it often and it never got this long. His hand travelled up her side and she moaned into his mouth before he pulled them apart reluctantly. Looking at him in blissful surprise she gave him a cheeky smile as she panted. He still had that magic she craved. He was addictive. She licked her lips looking at his once more before releasing him from her grasp. Sitting back she would give a slightly pouty sigh as she knew it this continued it would be indecent exposure to the masses. “mmm you still got it Austin. My head has the spins again.” Referring to her old phrase she would tell him regarding their cuddle sessions. How he made her head spin and her world so much brighter. How did she live so long without him, this connection between them. Maybe he should have fought harder for her to stay. Her eyes showed him affection as she heard his stomach growling. This was a usual outcome of their make out sessions. Intense passion followed by literal intense hunger. “let’s dig in before our food gets cold,” Brigita would playfully scold him as she cut up her toast and eggs making a deliciously savory mix of flavors. She hummed and moaned in enjoyment as she just relaxed and felt more at ease with him around. Her foot gently rubbing against his calf once more making sure he knew she was still interested in being near him always.

As it stands if anyone has interest Telvani is posted in the ruins of the pine heath forest ^^

Telvani would arrive landing on top of the ruins looking over the forest making her webbing vanish. She would take a moment to find a comfortable spot to sit and look at any passing person as she ate her fruit she picked not to long ago. She knew vampires and werewolves were here. She was neither... even though one could legitimately argue that she was vampire... she was not she had not desire for blood and could easily live without meat... She loved her fruits more than anything. She would then relax a bit as she snacked on her fruit.

There was something that Brigita could do no other woman could, let them be Human or Wolf. Her lips accepted his own and she melted right into Austin's grasp, she even pulled him closer by the scruff of his shirt just to get a closer taste. A better taste. Austin's own wolf stirred and threatened to rip loose however he was far more in control than that, still if they were in the woods or in his room things would've definitely been different. Brigita moving her head slightly to allow better access past her lips enabled Austin's tongue to slither on through with both of theirs colliding. Wrestling and writhing, Austin kissed the woman until he couldn't breath no more, and hand happening it's way up her form and- No! Not here! The Alpha broke away to catch his breath, the woman's lips and taste ever so intoxicating like all those years ago, it was like nothing between them changed. And obviously the little witch still had her spell on him. "Ah..." The gruff Alpha breathed, finally sitting back to break the love making they were about to proceed with... And just in time too as his stomach growled louder than his inner wolf! Austin continued, "I should... Eat something. Before I go stir crazy and make a... Before we make a mess of the table."

Working on reply now, been resting as much I can before I start overtime. Apologies.

You're all good! Been vibing on listening to M83 and Seal at work, it kinda gives me some time to make whatever up in the meantime

Hearing him joke made her giggle. She bit her lip looking at his lips then back into his gentle pools. “I mean at least I can give you on last good ride before you go.” She would pause and shrug a playfully coy action. “You know when you kick the bucket cause you couldn’t get enough of me.” Brigita had hardly changed. She was still flirty and knew how to be the woman and wolf he needed. That came with the territory of them being their firsts. How she wished to be able to just get in his lap and hold him like she used to. Arms around his massive shoulders as he cradled her in his arms like she was fragile. She loved how he made her feel a good balance of feminine and masculine traits; they spared, he was a mentor in that regard and she knew when to be soft and give a more tender approach. They completed each other like an intricate puzzle. Miss Shelly however had impeccable timing as always as it made Brigita back up and allow the food to be placed on the table. Clearing her throat, she became truly bashful as she moved some of that silky Scandinavian blonde hair from her pony tail off her braid off her shoulder. “T-Thank you Miss Shelly. It all looks so delicious.” It wasn’t false this was the best hole in the wall place in town even back when they were wet behind the ears. As Miss Shelly left, Brigita turned to her Alpha once more not even getting a chance to speak. she was lurched forward with his gruff grip making the tight elastic of her suit stretch and even caused the zipper to slip down some from the force. Their lips crashed into each b other as she was hovering over the table. Yeah these were the same soft lips that drove her wild, well wilder than she already was. Her wolf stirred and growled in desire as her skin prickled. Her hands darted forward to grab the collar of his flannel pulling him closer on instinct. After the initial surprised her eyes closed and she turned her head, lips finishing their smacking motion before moaning and parting slightly, her soft pink tongue licking at his own all while his well trimmed beard reminded her of how much she truly missed this sort of intimacy. Austin was an excellent lover, that said he also knew how to entice and tease. This made Brigita putty in his palms as she loved the ending, loved how they would spend hours together on edge and not even take off a piece of clothing until their limits snapped. He was a master at controlled intimacy. Probably why he ruined her for all other mates. No one could make her feel so seen and so aroused than she was right now in this diner.
