The Changer Complete Box Set

by A C Wilds

“It’s not ideal. I was hoping you’d get more time to train.”

  “She’ll be ready. We’ll make sure of it,” Gunn says, speaking up for the first time. Izzy gives him a curt nod before leaving the kitchen. It’s still tense between everyone and Gunn.

  Placing my coffee mug down, I walk over to him and pull him in for a hug. “I don’t care what they think. I know you had a reason to do what you did, and it’s all in the past. We have to focus on what is in front of us. I need you more than you know. You completed our mating bond and made it possible to defeat the same Fae who hurt you. I’ll always be here for you.”

  He stares into my eyes for a moment before crashing into me. His kiss is rushed and raw. A tingle goes all over my body as I respond to his ferocity. Grabbing his hair and giving it a pull, I moan into his mouth. He picks me up and places me on the counter. My ass hits some dishes, and we knock them to the floor. It makes a loud crash, but we don’t stop. I’m too far gone to care about anything.

  “I must taste you. My wolf has been going crazy with need. We haven’t had you since we left the Dark, and he needs to be sated.” His eyes flash from emerald to golden. I see the wolf peak through and suck in a breath. Our first time was a bit sweet, but this is going to be animalistic. A rush of adrenaline pumps through me as I unbutton my pants and wiggle out of one leg. My bare ass is placed on the counter as he gets to his knees. He’s the perfect height. A small thought that we might get caught with so many people in the manor crosses my mind, but I can’t stop. I’m too far gone to care.

  “I spelled the door,” he says, reading my mind. My shields must have slipped. But I’m a bit grateful for his awesome magic skills.

  He pushes me back a bit, so I’m braced on my forearms. Pulling up my shirt, he kisses my stomach until he gets to the apex between my legs. His mouth is warm, hovering over me. He inhales my scent, and his wolf makes an appearance again. He practically drools as he pounces on me. His tongue is gentle as he flicks it out and brushes against my clit. A shudder of pleasure pumps through my body, and I growl a bit.

  “My mate, so ready for me,” he says, spreading my legs wider, and burying his face in my center. He licks up and down, causing me to lose my balance. I lay down all the way and stretch open more for him. He gets a rhythm going, licking and swirling until I am a fucking mess.

  “Suck on my clit,” I say, I’m not shy, letting him know what I want. He responds to me immediately, bringing his lips to my sensitive nub. They are smooth and hot against my skin. He increases the pressure, and I buck in response. He skillfully begins to stroke my opening with his fingers, priming me for entrance. He caresses the outer lips before plunging inside of me. A moan slips from my mouth as I squeeze my eyes shut so I can enjoy all he is giving me.

  His fingers begin to pump in and out of me, making my legs shake around him. Goosebumps race across my skin, and if I don’t come soon, I’m going to fall apart. He must sense my urgency through the bond because his fingers pick up speed as his tongue flicks my clit while his lips continue to suck. My orgasm hits soon after, like a crescendo in an opera. I feel my muscles tense up and hold onto him like a vise and then pulse with my release. It’s one of the best orgasms I have ever had.

  Getting up but not removing his fingers, he lets me ride out the orgasm. “You taste amazing, Azra, but now I’m going to fuck you until you squeeze my dick the way you just did my fingers.” My body flares even more with want as he drops his pants and pulls my ass closer to the edge. I’m practically hanging off, but when he moves closer to meet me, I forget all about the logistics.

  Gunn is inside me in a moment. His movements are slow and delicious. I place my legs behind his waist and pull him closer to me. I rock with his motions, trying to get him to speed up. Dropping his hands to either side of me, he begins to suck on my breast, making my already hard nipples ache from the pressure.

  “Fuck me harder,” I say, breathlessly. If he doesn’t speed this up, I’m going to throw him to the floor, and do it myself.

  “As you wish, my mate,” he replies, while slamming into me with so much force, I can feel him in my stomach. He follows my instructions well, setting a punishing speed, which I try to match. Another orgasm is building inside me, and I reach down to rub my throbbing clit. This spurs my body into a new set of feelings, and before long, I find myself crying out his name. Seeing me come undone around him, makes him lose all control, as he thrusts one last time inside of me before exploding. Totally spent, he falls on my stomach as we try to catch our breaths. A loud knocking sounds on the door.

  “What the fuck, Azra? Open the damn door. I’m starving,” Grey yells, while still pounding. I groan inwardly and get up to put my clothes back on. Once I’m decent, Gunn releases the spell, and Grey comes strides in.

  “I’m starving,” he says, and then stops to look around. Dishes are broken on the floor. Things are pushed all over the counter, and my hair probably looks like it got caught in a rainstorm. He turns his attention back to me and smiles that smirky smile.

  “Stop looking at me like that. It’s not like I planned it,” I say, trying hard not to be embarrassed about having sex with one of my mates.

  “I didn’t say anything, just next time, maybe try the bathroom or a closet so that when people are hungry, they don’t have to wait for you to come,” he snarks.

  Gunn gives him a bit of a playful shove before he stalks off to the fridge. He starts pulling out all types of meats and cheeses, that are somewhat identifiable. Finding some bread on the opposite counter, I slide it over, and he starts making sandwiches for everyone. We joke and laugh as we eat, trying to keep our minds off the battle and everything else that has happened. It’s nice to get to know them a bit better and watch how they interact with one another. It sinks in at this moment that they are mine forever. Cass and Shax too. These are the men I was destined to be with for the rest of my existence. How did I get so lucky?

  Chapter 6

  Portal Magic

  Azra

  Beginning the day at the ass-crack of dawn is not my idea of a good time, but Red insists we need to do this when hardly anyone is around in case I blow up something. Portal magic is on the agenda, and I need all my guys to help out. Apparently, it is different from pulling up an already magical shield. This will be starting from scratch.

  “Morning, everyone. As Azra has said, we will be working on portal magic. I want to see the amount of power it takes her to open one, and how much it will take to close it. I’m going to guess that she will have to use your combined magic to create one, but since none of us were around during the last Changer war, we will have to see,” Red explains. We are in an open field about a mile from the palace. It is quite peaceful out here with nothing around us except for trees. The sun is just making its appearance, and the sky is the color of rainbow sherbet.

  “So how do I do this? I don’t really know how I made my Azra bomb, and my powers seem to only come to me when I’m scared or pissed off,” I ask.

  “Basically, you need to reach into your mate bonds and gently pull their magic to you. When you created your bomb at the palace, you took too much at once, hence the explosion. But first, I would like you to try it on your own. No one in Faerie can make portal magic, so we don’t know if you can do it by yourself, or if you need the guys,” he responds. “Try using your pool first, and let’s see what happens. Picture the front of the manor in your mind, and go from there.”

  I move out a bit into the field just in case my magic goes crazy again. Placing my legs shoulder width apart, I take the stance Red showed me to center myself. Closing my eyes, I look for the pool of magic located inside me. It comes to me in a vision. A massive cave appears with an eerie bluish glow glimmering on the walls. The pool is overflowing with my red magic. An invisible current sloshing it over the shore and back again; as if it has a life of its own. It senses my presence and reaches out to connect to me. I accept its embrace and let it flow into me, trying not to take too much at once.

  My body begins to heat up in the familiar way it does when my magic is about to make an appearance. A cooling sensation comes over me, mixing with the heat to create a comfortable bath-water like feeling. The taste of Earth appears on my tongue, and the ground underneath me begins to shake a bit. Opening my eyes, I can see the magic all around me. I am encased in a bubble of my making. The guys, Red and Ash, are all staring at me in awe. Instinctually, I bring my hands up and clap them above my head. A stream of magic shoots out in front of me. I draw a circle with my clasped hands, and a whirl of wind picks up as the portal forms. Checking in with my pool of magic, I notice it doesn’t take much to make this portal. I release my hands once the circle is complete, and it collapses in on itself. A whirlpool of energy runs clockwise picking up speed as it goes. When it gets to an incredible speed, a picture of the front of the manor comes into sight.

  Guards are walking back and forth, going about their day, and Izzy and her guys are standing on the manor steps speaking about something. When they notice the portal, their eyes go wide. Izzy rushes forward and stands right in front.

  “You did it! You really did it!” she exclaims, the excitement in her voice really hard to hide.

  “I did! I just don’t know how long I can hold it. My energy is being drained pretty quickly,” I confess. She nods her head and comes running at me, jumping through the portal. Five seconds later it closes around her. I stare, stunned that she would take a chance on my magic like that.

  “You’re nuts! Why would you do that? It’s the first time I made a portal, anything could have happened,” I say in shock.

  “I figured we had to test it, so I might as well be the one to do it,” she says. I think she loves the excitement of living on the edge. She’s an adrenaline junky. Everyone comes rushing at us then. Speaking over each other.

  “That was so fucking awesome. I want to go through next,” Grey says, practically jumping up and down. He seems the most excited. I don’t blame him, it’s pretty cool to be able to get somewhere almost instantly.

  “We shouldn’t take that chance again until we know how Azra’s magic works. Did you feel a drain at any point?” Red asks. He’s concerned that I won’t be able to keep it open.

  “Once the portal was open, I felt like my energy was slowly getting sucked into it. My magic was the portal, they weren’t separate.”

  “That makes sense. You are using your energy to create the magic needed to open a rift. This also means we know how Michael is doing it,” Red muses. He looks deep in thought. If Michael feels the drain as much as I do, then he could possibly be vulnerable when he does.

  “I want to try again, but this time with the guys. Maybe I can hold it open longer?” I suggest. The guys all step up ready to help, but Red shuts us down.

  “You need to work on your control before you attempt to use your combined magic. There are too many variables to how it could go wrong.”

  He’s right, but it makes me frustrated that we don’t have enough time to learn everything about this. If the reports are correct, we won’t have that long until they all get here.

  “Fine, but I’m going to practice making this portal by myself until it is second nature. It wasn’t that much of a drain, but I need to make sure if we need to get out, we have a contingency plan.”

  “That’s not all the portal magic does,” Izzy says. “You also have the ability to close any open portal. This is a part of how you will take down Michael, you need to steal his portal magic.”

  “What? How? I thought I just had to kill him,” I respond, nervously.

  “I don’t know how it works, but there are some grimoires that my coven has about the prophecy that could help. I’m going to have Patli help with that. He’s one of my elite guards and a genius when it comes to collecting data,” she says. A bit of hope soars through me that we could finally get some answers.

  “I will help,” Ash says, speaking for the first time since we have been out here. My Arion’s mate is a bit of an introvert. Always observing, but never really speaking up.

  “I’m sure he would love that, thank you, Ash,” she says. “Azra, mind portaling us back to the manor?” she says, wiggling her eyebrows. I give her a big smile and push my magic out. Red gives me a scowl, but I do it anyway. This time it is quicker, and the portal looks stronger. Izzy and Ash jump through without a problem. This time no one is upset.

  “You need to make the portal bigger if we are going to be able to move an army through it,” Cass says, standing to my left. I want to say something snarky, but I don’t think he’ll get it.

  “Use our magic to sustain you. You’re hardly pulling anything off of us,” Shax says. Again going against his rules, which makes him call out to me, I ignore it. If they want me to pull from them, I will. We’ve been doing this for hours and all I want to do is go relax with the guys.

  When the magic is settled into the portal, I start to draw from my mate bonds. Each one is lit up in distinct colors. I start to pull evenly from each, watching the portal change colors to match each of my mates. It begins to look like a rainbow as it gets larger and larger. The wind whips around us and Shax grabs onto me for support. Whether he is anchoring me or the other way around, I don’t know. I hear screams over the winds, but I don’t focus on them. They wanted big, well, here it is.

  On the other side of my ginormous portal is the front of the manor. All actions stop as it pops into view. Acalon is standing with the guard, waiting to see if I am able to make this happen. When he sees the intensity of the portal and all it can offer us, he gives me a smile that could stun any woman.

  The magic is draining as I feel the reserves from the guys lessening. I don’t want to hurt them, so I slowly begin to close it, working the magic back into myself. The portal is made of my magic, and instead of releasing it into the nothing, I go on instinct and know that it could be brought back into me. This may save us in battle if I should need to use my powers after.

  It closes with a whoosh of air, and we all take a step back. I turn around, facing everyone. “Can we please go back to the manor now? I'm fucking exhausted,” I say, walking away from them. My brain is throbbing with the use of so much magic, and I need to rejuvenate if we’re going to keep this training pace up.

  “You did awesome today,” Gunn says, running up to me. He doesn’t look drained or tired at all.

  “Did you guys feel the magic drain at all?” I ask, curiously.

  “Yeah we felt it, but then you put it back. Something we didn’t think was possible. I even think you put too much back because I feel amazing. Like I could make a whole forest grow,” he says, with a goofy grin on his face. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think he was drunk. Looking behind me, I see the rest of the guys acting similarly. They are joking around with one another. My jaw is hung open from the shock.

  “You gave them some of your magic,” Red says, in Arion form.

  “I didn’t know I could do that. I wanted the magic to go back to them, but I didn’t think I could give them mine,” I reply.

  Suddenly, fire shoots out into the field, as we all duck for cover. Looking behind me to see what caused it, I see Grey the only one standing with a huge smile across his face.

  “That was epic,” he says, shooting Shax’s fire out of his hands again.

  “What the fuck?” I say, standing up since there is no real threat. The guys do the same, and I watch in awe as they all use each other’s powers. Shax’s hands are crackling with lightning, as Cass grows some vines from the dirt floor, and Gunn splashes Grey over the head with water.

  I barrel over laughing, as they try to fight each other with their new powers, but nothing sticks. They can’t hurt each other, and for that I’m incredibly grateful.

  Climbing up on Red, I ask, “Did you know what would happen?”

  “I had a feeling, once you were able to give them some of yours. They are acting like children though. Maybe we should leave them up here and go for a ride before you go b
ack to the manor. I spotted a few down trees in the forest up ahead that would be perfect for jumping.”

  “You know how to make my heart sing,” I say, leaning back, gripping the reins, and bracing my feet into the stirrups. We shoot out like a bolt of Cass’s lightening toward the tree line. The last thing I hear is my name on the wind.

  Chapter 7

  Power Swap

  Greyson

  Fire shoots out from my hands as I look up and see Azra taking off on Red. It engulfs a tree in the far edge of the field, and the cloud of smoke and ash it creates rains down on the now black patch of earth.

  “Control where you want it to go. Think about the object you want to ignite, and then release the magic slowly,” Shax says, looking ever the smug fucking alpha that he is. The guy’s not half bad, but man, he likes to be in charge a bit too much.

  “How the fuck do I release it slowly? I only ever dumped water on people, and that wasn’t slow at all. And the shield thing just pops out,” I respond, standing next to him with my arms crossed waiting for his ever intelligent answer.

  “You need to picture the pool of magic in you, and then slowly pull from it to get what you need,” Gunner says, walking over to us, playing with Cass’s lightning.

  Ever since Azra gave us some of her magic, the bonds are open between us all. I can now feel all my other mates, just as I feel Azra. Our magics have mixed, and it’s like one big pool of magic combined.

  “Which pool, dumbass? There are two,” I say with a smirk. For such old bastards, they are sort of dumb.

  “What do you mean two?” Cass says, his curiosity peaked.

  “There are two. Please tell me you guys feel it also. The one that has all the colors, and then the one that is just blue. It’s sort of floating in the middle of the colorful one. I don’t know how else to describe it,” I say.

  They all close their eyes at the same time, I guess trying to see what I’m seeing? It’s weird being able to feel what they are feeling through the bond. I thought Azra was moody, but these dicks are fucking all over the place.
