Introduction
Before we get started, there are a few points you should know.
The Preternatural have been around as long as humans have in their current forms which is around 200,000 years, since this time most of what the preternatural know has been information handed down by the Council, a group of panther shifters that collect, record and protect the history of all preternatural species.
There are many species known to preternatural and ten known to humans, each species has its particular quirks.
Panther-shifters:- Self-proclaimed leaders of the preternatural, often perceive themselves as high born and better than other species.
Wolf-shifters:- True creatures of habit, nearly always members of a pack with a Hierarchical system, each pack has an Alpha, a Beta and often a group of trusted Enforcers.
Bear-shifters:- Again creatures of habit, usually small family groups that keep away from busy environments and out of politics.
Dragon-shifters:- Majestic and arrogant, there are two types of Dragon Shifters Ice and Fire, ruled by a King of Fire and Queen of Ice, mostly solitary creatures but some have an intense curiosity.
Eagle Shifters:- Rarely seen or heard about, despite agreeing to announce themselves to human kind they keep themselves secret unless necessary
Witches:- Blessed with magical gifts passed down since the dawn of time, most use their gifts for unselfish reasons but occasionally personal gain comes into play, turning the witch into a dark entity.
Demons:- Spawns of hell itself, this all male species are often greedy, manipulative and aggressive, though some older demons have shed the stereotype and become better men.
Vampires:- These creatures flooded history with falsehoods to protect themselves, they can walk in daylight and even into a church, they can not shift into the form of a bat nor do they need blood to survive, they only require blood when they are injured to trigger the healing process.
Incubi:- The Incubus thrives on the party lifestyle, feeding on sexual energy of females from any species.
Succubi:- Much like the male counterparts these extravagant females feed on sexual energy and desire.
Angels:- A human name for them, they much prefer Valkyries, this all female race was the only one to not announce themselves to the human kind, instead preferring to hide and not interfere with life on earth.
Each species has a terminal flaw an illness that can affect and eventually kill them, once modern medicine had advanced far enough, a scientific research company was founded to find treatments and cure for each of the ailments, when the day of illumination came to pass the company went public losing 70% of its controlling shares to the government who changed the companies agenda to non-lethal weapons and containment, that company is Predtech.
Part 1
The Pride Of The Pack
Chapter 1
“Well Fuck!” Valaria was not one to swear, but this situation she had gotten herself into? This called for an F-Bomb or two.
Valaria was sent here by the council, to gather Intel on the new family in town, this wouldn't usually sound that interesting but Valaria, The Council, The King and The Company were all a very particular kind of person, They were shifters, Panther Shifters. This new family she was sent to investigate? Well they were Wolves and one of them had just stopped inches away from the shrub she was hiding in on their land so you see a Fuck! Is most definitely needed.
The wolf in question was in his wolven form and what a form it was, twice the size of your standard wolf breed with grey black fur and gold piercing eyes, he must have been out for a run, it was odd to see a wolf shifter out without the pack so he is most likely an enforcer or even the god damned alpha,
Valaria stilled herself as the magnificent creature began to rise on its hind legs, the sound of cracking bones and stretching muscles echoed in Valaria's ears as she watched on in amazement, she had never seen a wolf shift before, her eyes darted from limb to limb as the fur seemed to shed from the flesh and dissipate into nothing, 'Oh My', there he was, over six feet tall, broad shouldered, every muscle was chiselled perfection and to top it off he had a face that would charm The Queen out of her crown, he took a step towards the bush and then there it was, inches from Valaria's face the thing she never expected to see on this wonderful mission of hers, a thick long and very proportionate to his body Cock! That coupled with his scent that started to drive her panther into a lustful frenzy 'stupid cat!'.
'Holy Fuck! He was big in every way, how the hell am I going to get out of this one?'
“So, are you going to stay hidden in the bush? Or are you going to introduce yourself?”
“Shit!” Valaria said under her breath.
“Tell you what, I'll go first, I'm Dominic, Beta of the Riverside Pack and you have been staring at my cock for over a minute.” Not that Dominic minded, but her scent was starting to affect it. He didn't want her to see if he were to get aroused by it.
'Cocky Bastard.' “I... I'm Valaria, head enforcer of the Westingdale Pride” she stood in the bush her head just popping through the foliage.
Dominic looked over her for a moment, his gorgeous yellow eyes taking in her pitch black shoulder length hair and Amethyst eyes, that fucking scent again, honey and pine needles, it's fucking amazing and sending his wolf crazy “A Panther, well I can't say I have ever had the pleasure.”
'And you won’t!' Valaria stepped forward and in turn Dominic took a few steps back, never breaking his gaze with hers.
“I'm sorry to be hiding in your bushes bu...”
Dominic interrupted, “But you were sent here by your council to make sure that we are not a threat and if we are a threat then you are to gather Intel on us so that your Pride might be able to get us out of your town, That's about right?”
'Cocky son of a bitch.' “Y..Yes exactly it, how did..”
Interrupted again, “How did I know? It's my job to know, do you honestly think we would move the entire pack here without finding out everything there is to know about the creatures that live here?”
“Well no, I suppose not.” Valaria added, “would you mind covering up?”
Dominic chuckled his deep rasped voice just adding to his perfection, his scent of lemongrass and a deep musk was quite entrancing and she would never admit it but it was causing a flutter throughout her body and directing it all to her pussy.
“Sure, as long as you come inside and sit with me.
“Why the hell would I do that?” She exclaimed, only to throw him off the scent so to speak, Fuck that scent!
“You are here for Intel, the easiest
way to get that Intel is for me to give it to you, no?”
Valaria sighed and gestured for him to lead the way, after only a minute or two of walking they came upon a large warehouse type structure, cold block stone wall and even a corrugated steel roof there were no windows that she could see and only a single large roller door with an inset standard door, as they approached the door swung open and out popped a young female couldn't be any more than eighteen she was clad from head to toe in green fatigues like the US army used to wear in the sixties, she bowed her head which was covered in dirty blonde hair to her shoulders and closed the door behind us, as her eyes adjusted to the bright light she realised this was a parking garage, filled with cars, Motorbikes and even the odd SUV, to one side was a small office and in the centre there was an elevator. These guys live underground?
“Stacy, is everything ready?” Dominic turned to face the young pup.
“Yes Sir, the main lounge is free and the rest of the enforcers have been notified of our visitor, they have taken the rest of the pack for a run leaving just the essential personnel on grounds.” Her voice was like silk, smooth and crisp, delicate even.
“Thank you, you may join them if you wish.” he gestured to the door and Stacy bowed her head and turned away, as she walked she dropped clothing behind her, stripping down to nothing before her pale body shot off into the night.
“This way, please” Dominic lead her to the elevator and pressed a code into a numeric panel, once they reached the designated floor which Valaria could only guess was at least three floors below surface the doors opened into a wide corridor, lined with dark wood floors and pale green walls, each junction had huge oak archways and every door was thick hardwood, they walked on for about one hundred feet and through the only open door into what can only described as sofa central, there were at least ten of them, all chesterfields all in a rich burgundy leather, the walls were a deep purple and the was multiple coffee tables plotted about the room then there was a grand fireplace with two queen Ann chairs which is where the pair would be sitting.
“Please sit.”
“Thank you.” Valaria parked herself in the soft leather and crossed her legs, the flames from the fire snapped and crackled as Dominic threw another log in the hearth before taking his own seat.
“So, what would your council like to know?”
Valaria smiled and said, “We want to know what your intentions are, why you left your original home and if we are going to have any trouble.”
Dominic relaxed in his chair, “Is that all? Well, as to why we left, we were driven out by another pack, they had a claim to the land we did not. Our intentions are simple...” he seemed to pause for dramatic effect, “to live dear, we want to live, run our various businesses and enjoy life, as to the third question I think what needs to be asked is, are we going to have trouble from you? We are a polite bunch, around thirty members, most above the age of fifty no pups in eighteen years if anyone is going to start trouble I reckon it might be your council.”
“I assure you we will not pick a fight for the sake of fighting!” Valaria replied with a touch of anger in her voice.
“If that is true, then we will be fine, coexist as it were.” his damned voice was hypnotic. “But if it will please the council, then I would like to invite yourself and a few other members of your pride to dine with us, it would include a tour and for the business owners, a chance to talk business.”
“I will see what I can do, your Alpha would be okay with this?”
“My Alpha made me beta for a reason, he will be fine, besides he is far too involved with his mate to take much notice anyway, they’re newly weds, I say that, it's been three months but he wants a pup so we leave them to it and do what we can.”
“very well, I will contact the council and see what they say” Valeria stood and was instantly greeted by a naked Stacy holding out a business card with Dominic's name and number, “where on earth did you come from?”
“Oh me? Back door, c'mon I'll walk you out.”
Once the pair reached the outer gate Stacy turned to Valaria and said,
“Look, I know you are just doing your job, what I mean to say is, we don't want to hurt anyone, we have all been hurt before, that is how this pack started, if you are ever in trouble and need somewhere, just text Dominic with where and when, we'll be there.”
Valaria smiled and began her walk back to her car.
Chapter 2
A few days later Dominic was sorting through paperwork of one of his business interests when his phone began to vibrate across his mahogany desk, his warm yellow eyes glanced at the illuminated screen to see the name he had been waiting for 'Valaria.' In almost a panicked rush he scrambled for the phone and swiped across the screen.
“Hello, Dominic Kane speaking.”
“Hello Dominic, It's Valaria, we met the other night, in the bushes.” as if Dominic would forget.
“Ah yes, what's the news?” trying to keep his mind on business and off the memory of her intoxicating scent.
“The council has agreed to your proposal, they have selected two members from the council and two from The Company, plus myself makes five, is that okay?”
“Yes, that's perfect, how’s Wednesday for you?” he was smiling, he didn't smile often but the thought of being able to see the she-panther again had his wolf rather excited.
“Wednesday is fine, Five PM?”
“Excellent, text me any dietary needs and I'll have Amber cook something special.”
“No dietary needs, just nothing from a freezer box and we're all good.” Valaria chuckled as she spoke.
“Right, good.” 'was she serious with the freezer box? What does she think we are? Animals!' “see you Wednesday at five, I'll give your details to Stacy and she'll see you down to us.”
“Who from the pack will be joining us?”
“My Alphas Nick and Diane, Stacy, my second Tyrone and myself, the rest of the pack will be doing their own thing.”
“Okay see you then.”
Without being able to respond the phone went silent, 'Bitch hung up on me.'
As he placed his phone back down, there was a knock at his office door.
“Come!”
“Ah Dominic, glad I caught you, this dinner you have arranged, is it sorted?” the tall dark haired man asked
“Yes Nick, Wednesday at five, How's Diane?”
“Ah perfect, I look forward to it, and she is fine, thank you for asking, she is off visiting her parents today she will be back Wednesday morning,” Nick replied.
“Good, Good, we have preparations to make, we don't want to disappoint our guests.”
“No we don't, call the enforcers together, and Amber, best get Steve as well he was married to a panther for ten years, maybe he can offer some insight?”
“Sure thing boss, lunch then?” Dominic offered.
“Yes, see you then, I'm going to grab a shower.” Nick exited the office as quickly as he entered leaving Dominic with his thoughts of the she-panther, he slumped himself down into his office chair and let out a deep sigh.
“What the fuck are you doing? Pining over a fucking panther.”
Valaria hung up the phone before she said something stupid like 'Hey after the dinner, fancy showing me your bedroom?' she couldn't believe what an affect that gorgeous wolf man was having on her, and her panther, both of them were near climbing the walls waiting to see him again, of course her logical mind kept reminding her that they were only compatible as far as the human bodies, they couldn't mate, not like a true mating, there would only be a small bond, it wouldn't prevent either of them from going rouge and there would be no link like with same species bonding where they would be able to sense the others emotions. It just wouldn't work. Valaria had seen it happen to her friends mother Kacy, she married a wolf and even left her pride, but his pack found out and banished them, she returned home broken emotionally, her panther took years to heal from the breaking of the bond, the wolf? Well Kacy was
told that the pack killed him for defending her, such a tragedy because of love, if neither of them were born shifters they would have made the perfect couple, but Mother Nature is a fickle Bitch.
“So, It is done?” The voice seemed to echo inside Valaria's head, bouncing off each side of her skull before landing like a tone weight on her panther.
Valaria turned towards the doorway of her study, the dark figure obscured by the low light, of course she knew exactly who it was, “Yes Father, It is done,” she sighed heavily, “However, I do not think they are a threat.”
William scoffed, “Then it is a good job you are not expected to think!” Valaria dropped her head in submission, “The females of this pride are on this earth to Mate and preserve the species, Nothing more! The fact that I allowed you to be an enforcer until you reached marrying age still has the council on edge.”
“Fuck the council!” Valaria interjected, “You are The King!”
“I Am The King!” her father spat furiously, “These have been our ways for over millennia! Come Samhain you will wed Lucian, You will bear his kits and you will know your place!” Valaria was breathless, the dominant aggressive vibe flooding from her father choking her, tears welled in her eyes washing out the bright Amethyst and leaving a dull grey, her panther was scratching at her mind, desperate to get out and give The King something to fear but William turned leaving the room, Valaria gasped for breath as his dominant vibes released her.
“Fuck The King Too!” she muttered under her breath as she raised a hand to her throat, a natural response to the feeling of being strangled.
Valaria stood by her desk, a few tears ran down her olive toned face leaving a trail of smudged mascara in their wake. It was at this point she decided to make the biggest decision of her life, one that would destroy her pride and everything that she holds dear, what she was about to do is considered treason in her species but could she really allow herself to be sold into a loveless marriage based solely on over a hundred years of tradition?
