I got alot of energy rattlin around in me. 's hard for me to sleep, so I don't. Or, well I do, but just like for shorts bursts.... like a cat that way.
~Shrugging, Lark walked off and went to clean up, after a few moments he returned, cleaner and looking down at the child. He scoffed, but there wasn't any hesitation at all, as he reached down and scooped her up.~
So that's how it's gonna be huh? You Queen Bee now?
~He lifted her up, and Tris could see he'd been around kids before, the way he was talking, all cooing and baby talk, making Cora giggle insanely as he lifted her up and then swung her around a bit. But then he cocked his head to look at Tris, brow arched.~
She demands alot, but that should be expected, since your here mom.
~And it could be seen as a slight, but he flashed a smile, testing the alpha himself, to see how she'd react maybe.~
Yeah.... Tris and Luke.
~Phrix sighed against the wolf, his head tilting just so as the wolf's fingers toyed through his hair.~
I'm not a wolf, Aiden. I don't really, we don't really have packs. But, I care about Tris, enough that I guess I consider myself part of her pack. But I consider myself part of Kael's too. Course... you want the truth, I consider you all like one big pack, so it's hard to distinguish it all. Like I think of you and me as pack, I guess.
~He frowned a bit and then he looked up at Aiden.~
What about you? What are you thinking about that? Don't think I don't know what that means, if I say I'm part of her pack. It means she wants you as well. She's going to ask Lark to be her Emissary, which means she'll have Reyes too and probably Lucky, cause that cat goes with the other one. So, are you gonna be okay with that? You know, no matter what you say, this...
~He motioned between them.~
It's not gonna change.

Really? The jaguar that shares your bed doesn't seem to cat nap ...
-She teased the gypsy before watching the way he naturally handled her daughter who seemed very pleased to be held by the stunning boy-
Well she got her looks and brains from me no doubt but that attitude can't all be blamed on me. Kaelan isn't exactly modest either ...
-She leaned back relaxed easily not seeming to mind the slight at all, rather she turned it almost a compliment. She wondered if she was tested in that moment, and her eyes seemed to focus a bit more before she relaxed back ...if it was a test, well that would be good ... she needed someone like that as her advisor-
You seem to be teaching West a lot ... Kaelan will benefit from a better Emissary ...
-She was testing the waters slowly. Upstairs Aiden was looking down letting his fingers toy through the fox's hair before claiming his lips again-
You do huh? But I can't be your alpha? Unfair ... I wouldn't mind ordering you around a bit ...
-He teased before shrugging-
I don't know. I'm not pushing anything too quickly. It was hard losing my whole pack ... like I lost half of myself ... and glueing whole new parts would be hard. I think she wants you and I'm an add on. I'm not much of a wolf anymore ...
-He sighed before tugging the fox in closer-
I know that ... and I can't make a decision now. I need to see her more ... see Luke more ... but it might not be awful if I liked both. I do miss being part of something bigger ...

~He had laughed at her observation about Reyes, his body shaking, causing Cora to giggle wildly.~
He's lazier than you thin he is.
~He leaned in to Cora, running his nose along her cheek and then walked around to the front of the sofa.~
OH, I know Kaelan's got a way with his eyebrows, but that look is from her momma...
~Lark grinned back, dropping down next to Tris and Jax, leaving a little room between them.~
West is just young. And hadn't had enough training. He's a good emissary, he's got alot of power in that little frame. I'm just teaching him out to harness it and use it for his pack. You have someone you want to sit in as well?
~His head had cocked as he asked that question, but his brow arched as if he were testing things as well. Phrix was smiling, softly and it grew as he lifted his hand to cup the wolf's cheek.~
YOU are always my alpha... but you don't get to order me around... well... okay, so that's not necessarily true.
~He laughed, but grew quiet when the wolf went on and Phrix shook his head, clamping a hand over the wolf's mouth.~
Shhh... stop talking like that. You are an amazing wolf. I want you to stop talking like that. You hear me, Aiden, I mean it.
~He let the hand fall and smiled a bit as the wolf went on.~
I think that nobody expects you to make a decision tonight. And I think it's perfectly acceptable for you to want to know them better first. Who knows, you might end up liking them. Though, Aiden, Tris can be... touchy... actually, she can be a right bitch, but she means well. She really does, just give her a chance, kay?

-Tris shook her head rolling her eyes slowly-
I KNOW how lazy cats are ... Phrix is a fox but that's basically a small cat ... and he's awfull. I think the only one who sleeps more is Maddox...
-Tris arched a brow of her own doing a good impression of Kaelan, although no one could communicate as much with pure and simple silence as Kaelan-
Well she will be alpha ... she needs a look ...
-Jax moved reaching out for Cora trying to crawl on Lark's lap as well since he was novelty. Tris leaned back slowly and smiled-
Why would I want a pupil when I have the teacher in front of me?
-It was more blunt but games weren't high on her to do list. Aiden smiled up at the fox grinning-
You like me ordering you around last night ...
-He frowned but shrugged as he shook his head-
I'm not Phrix and I'm not saying it to get you to tell me I am. It's just the truth. I'm not sure what control I have anymore and I'm not as strong as I once was. An alpha with no pack is not better then an omega ...
-He smiled as he leaned to him-
I'll give her a chance for you ...

You know... all you shapeshifters are pretty lazy. And just cause you grow claws and fangs and go raw all the time...
~He made clawy hands and raked the air at her before he grinned. And then he leaned in and ruffled Jax's hair as she dropped that blunt sentence. Lark's brow arched and he looked up at her. A slight smile played at his lips.~
Are you asking me to be your emissary, Tris? Are you sure? I'm not trained to be an emissary, you know that, right? I'm a witch, a GYPSY, at that. I know magic and but all the other stuff, the formal stuff, I don't know it. Not that this pack is all that formal, but you know what I'm getting at?
~He shrugged though.~
I have to talk to Reyes about it first.
~And in that moment she'd witness probably one of the first times ever that Lark was serious.~
First off... you aren't so broken you can't heal. And you will. Because I will... cause I'm broken too. And I'm not giving up and letting them win, understand me? And second, I'm not telling you any of this to stroke your ego. I'm telling you the truth, cause you need someone to believe in you. And third, you are stronger than you pretend to be.
~Phrix sounded so fierce as he spoke those words, that it was a little surprising, but very charming with how much he believed them himself to be true. His head cocked and he sighed.~
You should want to do it for yourself, but I'll take you doing it for me. Especially if it works.

We're not lazy ... we're efficient ...
-She leaned back slowly and nodded a bit ... -
Emissary's aren't really trained. They're born. You're smart ... and the formal aspects of pack life can be taught. This pack is strange, so maybe I need a strange Emissary. It'd be a good alliance. A wolf pack and a gypsy. Plus don't you want these two to be on your side?
-She gripped Jax up before he dropped down to the floor smiling as she held the stunning pureblooded wolf close motioning to the twins who would no doubt one day be a force to be recokened with especially when they'd probably unite all the wolves in this place under one common and very powerful pack-
Of course. I don't expect an answer now. Just think about it.
-Upstairs Aiden pushed up slowly and smiled at the way the fox talked about him ... -
Well I think a shower would be healing ...
-He pushed up and lifted the fox off the bed tossing him over his shoulder as he slipped into the shower and turned the water on setting the fox down as he pressed him up against the wall and claimed his lips grinning a little bit-
I guess you're right ... I got some of the alpha in me left ...
-He teased a little bit but his gaze cleared a bit every day. He seemed a bit more confident, a bit stronger, and he wanted to be at peace again-

~Lark listened to Tris as a smile toyed at his lips.~
Alright... let me think about it. It's not just Reyes that I have to talk too, it's my family as well. They want me home, every time I speak to them, they keep asking when I'm coming there. I could take Reyes, they'd accept him, even Lucky. But for me to stay here... they might not understand. I'll think about it.
~He shrugs and then stands up, nodding as he leaves and heads back up the stairs, chewing his bottom lip as he heads to the bedroom door he shares with Reyes. Slipping inside, he found the cat laying in bed on his stomach. Creeping in, he crawled into the bed and nuzzled into Reyes. But he already knew his family would see this as both good and bad, it would be a way to ensure they had a pack of wolves as protectors, but his kind had a way of wearing out their welcome.~
~Phrix laughed as he was tossed over the wolf's shoulder and taken to the shower. They spent the better part of the afternoon together in bed before finally get dressed after another shower and going to Tris' for dinner. Climbing the steps to the house, the fox stopped, staring at the door and taking a deep breath. He'd honestly only come there a few times since he'd gotten back. It brought back to much. But before Phrix could worry too much about it, the door opened with Luke standing there. Flashing a smile, the wolf held up two beers and stepped aside, offering them both one. He then nodded.~
We're gonna eat outside. Grilling and all that crap.
~Luke took a step towards the back, motioning for them to come with, but managing to place himself in front of the door to the dining room, shielding the fox from seeing it. And Aiden had to appreciate that, this wolf, trying to protect the fox from hurting. It was a pack reaction, something one did for another they cared about.~

But I don't think James would go and Lucky I'd think would want to stay with him?
-She was asking not telling, curious about the relationship between the two but she nodded easily. She picked up the kids soon after and went home to tell Luke about her busy morning. Elsehwere Reyes was snoring a bit quietly. His bare torso shinning in the faint light streaming in as he slept easily. The big cat really was lazy. When the witch came inside and nuzzled into him he purred easily as he turned and tugged the boy in closer claiming his lips roughly. He flipped him on his stomach and crawled on top nippin a bit roughly at his neck as his hands were already roaming over his body hungrily-
You smell like wolf pups ... where have you been?
-He arched a brow but smiled a bit faintly as he stared down-
So ... how was gardening?
-He teased the witch about his herbs and other voodoo magic as he called it. That night Aiden moved with Phrix. He was a bit tense about the whole thing and he tensed even more when Phrix tensed. He frowned a bout to tell him they should go out when Luke came and Aiden did appreciate the block. He followed him out back. The kids were both sleeping in a crib on the back porch. Aiden approach slowly looking down at the way the babies clutched one another easily sleeping soundly as long as the other was close. He glanced up at Tris who came over slowly-
Twins ... and pure blooded. It doesn't happen often you know. My mother once told me that such a pairing would have alot of strengh
-She nodded taking a hit from her own beer. The waft of grilling meat washing over them easily-
... they also have a big bullseye on them. I'm glad you could come Aiden ... we've not really gotten a chance to meet.
-Aiden nodded easily. He tugged Phrix in closer as he looked at Luke a bit-

~Lark grinned, a shrug coming to his shoulders at the question about Lucky.~
I don't know... If me and Reyes left, I don't know if he'd stay.
~He smiled though and left her. Upstairs he was suddenly on his stomach, Reyes behind him, kissing along his shoulders and neck, making him sigh that sounded almost more of a moan than a sigh. He grinned though, burying his head a bit, arching his neck so that Reyes got better access.~
I was talking to Tris. And my GARDENING, that might safe your ass one day, so you be nice about my plants.
~He grinned a bit and then shifted, pushing so the cat lifted and he could flip over to look up at the cat.~
So, Tris wanted to talk to me, she's asked me to be her emissary.
~The gypsy looked up through dark lashes, as if trying to gauge the cats reaction. He wasn't sure if Reyes wanted to stay here. Or if he'd go with Lark if he left to go home. It was all sorts of new and strange, the idea of being settled in one place, permanently, as if this was his home, it felt weird. But on some level, he understood that closeness that they had here, his own family was just like that, loyal to a fight.~
~Phrix slipped out on the back porch quickly and then smiled when he saw the babies. He cocked his head as Tris spoke.~
It's rare for foxes too, very rare.
~As she went on, Luke had moved to lean on the railing, his own beer in his hand. Phrix frowned at her words.~
Why do you think they have a bulls eye on them?
~Luke spoke then.~
Because this pack is young and they are young. There are all these outside forces constantly testing us, pushing the boundaries. That alone puts us in danger and then add that they are babies, it just...
~He shrugs, frowning in a way that suggests he doesn't want to think about it. He shrugged then and flashed a smile at Tris before nodding to Aiden to come with him to the grill and leave Phrix and Tris by the kids. When the wolf followed, Luke checked the steaks and then leaned back.~
I'm glad she talked to him. I was about to have to come to you to stage a fuckin intervention.
~He knew Tris could hear him, but he was also extending a branch of friendship towards the ex alpha.~

-Reyes was ready to undress the witch again. Morning was one of his favorite times to fuck him silly. It just set the mood for the rest of the way right. He was still kissing letting his hands roam his body as he nipped moving a bit lower on his spine before arching a brow-
I'm unkillable ... I don't need your little plants ...
-He grinned teasing the witch before arching a brow as he pushed up-
Oh? I thought wolves only took emissaries from a certain bloodline. What did you tell her?
-He wonder what it meant. Jaguars had no emissaries. No connection to witches or anything of the sort so he had no idea what sort of commitment it meant. West seemed like he was glued to Kael. Would it be the same?-
-------------------------------
-Tris nodded frowning a touch but she smiled at Phrix. She reached out and ran her fingers through his hair before tugging him in closer nuzzling against his neck, scenting him. It felt good to have him home. Her pack felt half empty now and it stung. She knew he couldn't come into the house yet but it was a step. Aiden followed Luke as he took a hit from the beer before arching a brow grinning-
You aren't that afraid of your alpha are you?
-He smiled though a touch glancing back at the other two that spoke before looking at Luke-
You're her mate right? I've never met a female alpha before ... not that I've met many alphas ... I kept my pack moving ...
-He spoke offhanded as he stared at the steaks-
Then again nothing about this place is normal is it ... so many different kinds of shifters ... even a witch ... some vampires ...
-He made a face at the last bit-
... and that snake. But maybe it's better this way ...

Whatever, my little plants might be able to get you drunk or high, so hush it.
~He smiled a bit, but then he shrugged.~
Usually a family of emissaries is part of a pack, they pass it down, one after the other. But this is an unusual pack. So it would make sense that they'd do everything differently. I told her I'd think about it, that I had to talk to you first.
~And just like that, the conversation turned serious and no longer playful. Lark took a deep breath and sighed.~
Listen, my mom, my family, they want me home. They think I should be with my own, helping my family out. BUT, that being said, if I agreed to be Tris' emissary, stayed here, they'd be... they'd see it as a boon. They'd feel that giving me to this pack, it would mean the pack would owe them.
~He ran a hand through the cat's dark hair. He knew that Reyes understood what it meant to be a gypsy, that he'd no doubt had run ins with them. He knew how loyal they were, how they remained close knit, secretive about themselves and their lives. They expected loyalty out of their own and for them to contribute.~
Did you... do you want to stay here? And if, say, I decide I want to go home... would you go with me?
______________________________________________________________________
I don't think that you should be afraid of your alpha. Respect, you should have respect for your alpha, but that respect through fear is bullshit.
~Luke shrugged, watching Tris and Phrix for a moment before turning towards the grill and began to take the meat off, leaving it pretty rare, almost bloody.~
We moved alot too. Tris and her family took me in after I was bitten. I was her mate the moment I saw her.
Luke shrugged as if that was just how it was. And those words were confident. And then he shrugged, setting the meat down to rest for a minute and turned the roasting corn.~
She's a strong alpha, she has to be. It's harder on women, for them to be alphas. But with a strong pack behind her... it'll only enhance her.
~He flickered his gaze to Aiden.~
I thought this place was strange at first too, but honestly, this is my home. I couldn't imagine going back out there for good again. We some how manage to make this work, as you've seen. It's not perfect, but no place is. But this is home, ya know?

I will hush it then ...
-Reyes grinned teasing, that South American accent rolling off his tongue a bit more thickly. He fell back on his spine staring up at the gypsy who suddenly got serious. He listened slowly mulling over the implications of any future changes ... -
I could see how they'd see it that way ...
-He reached out and tugged the gypsy back down to him a bit ... -
Would they see me as a boon too?
-He arched a brow almost teasing the gypsy he was only fucking him for his family but part of him did wonder-
I don't know Lark. I have obligations to teach Lucky ... so for a while I have to stay close to him until he gains control and can be on his own. I like being here with Kael but I'm not his pack. Not really you know. I'd go home with you if Lucky came as well or if he didn't need me ...
-He smiled a bit slowly-
I want to stay close to you ... is that what you're asking? You and Lucky are my family... where you are ... I am ...
--------------------------------------------------------------
-Aiden's eyes darkened a touch-
I used to think so ... but maybe a little fear is good ...
-He shook his head a bit and the darkness passed easily. He nodded slowly before arching a brow ... -
Were you? But you're not pureblooded ... and those kids are ...
-He arched a brow confused and truth be told it was blunt but an alpha has a right to be blunt and Aiden didn't have the patience to beat around the bush. He knew it might be insulting and it might start a fight but it was kinda the elephant in the room and Phrix hadn't explained to him the whole situation. This place was a giant headache sometimes. He stared off and nodded-
Home would be nice. A pack would be nice. I think you understand a little of what it means to lose your pack ... and I understand your alphas pain. It's a deep hole ... we wolves don't do well without a pack ... without a mate ...

They would. They already do. We have shifters with us, it's not uncommon, just wolves not as common as others.
~He fidgeted around a little and then frowned.~
I know you have to take care of Lucky. I'd never think of leaving him behind. I mean... I just assumed he'd come with us, if we left. You think he's that attached to that wolf?
~The way he said that wolf, it suggested that he didn't see it, couldn't see the two of them together for ever. But he sighed a bit, letting a smile toy over his lips as the cat said he was his family. He pulled Reyes in, claiming his lips roughly, but there was something deeper in it. Reyes and Lucky were the only ones that really got to see this more serious side of the Gypsy. Breaking the kiss slowly, he pulled back, just a hair, resting his forehead to Reyes'.~
That's kinda what I was askin, yeah. So, I'm just gonna say this like really sentimental shit here, now, so don't laugh. But, You're it for me, Reyes, I love you. And I want to be wherever you are, always.
~His hands were on either side of the cat's face, staring down into his eyes, chewing a bit on the inside of his cheek.~
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
~Luke shrugged a bit as if he didn't know what to say about the idea of fear in the pack, he'd seen how it could ruin a pack so easily that it was scary to think of it coming back.~
I'm not pure blood, Maddy's not even a wolf. But, it doesn't matter, not anymore. And no, the twins aren't mine by blood. They're Kael's. Kinda surprised no one's told you that. It's... I was going to say a long story, but it's not. We got jinxed by a Djinn... It set some sort of fucked up spell. When it ended, we found ourselves in different beds. Tris got pregnant that night. But, that doesn't mean that they aren't mine. They are, just as they are Maddy's.
~Luke gave a little laugh at that, as if it just were obvious. And honestly, he seemed to be so calm about it all, so nonchalant.~
You could have a pack here, Aiden. And a mate.
~He glanced over at Phrix when he said that, picking up the plate of steaks.~
I know that he's lost alot, that he's still healing, we all are. And so are you, but we might be able to help one another, if we could give each other a chance. Come on, let's eat, I'm fucking starving and I think we both really could use some other adults to talk too.

Oh ... so I'm not the only one to be trapped by one of your kinda huh? I thought I was special ...
-He teased but he could see the way the gypsy was so serious. Reyes leaned into the kiss but felt the deeper something. He wound an arm around the gypsy as he pushed up with the other propping himself half up. He stared across at the stunning creature and shut his eyes a bit slowly ... -
I'd never laugh at you little witch. You're mine ... always ...
-He pulled back a touch, unable to yet say I love you back, but it was there in his eyes. He claimed Larks' lips again deeply-
Whatever you decide I'll be behind you. Here or there ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-He listened slowly and arched a brow ... -
I knew they were Kael's ... I just ... didn't understand the way they came about. You are a forgiving wolf Luke ...
-Aiden stared at how calm the wolf was but he nodded and smiled a bit slowly-
I guess it doesn't matter how they came about. It's nice to see our line being passed on. I've missed seeing wolf pups ... it's been a long time ...
-He frowned softly but stopped Luke speaking a bit lower-
I want a pack ... and I want Phrix ... I'm afraid I will lose both if I try to join this pack of yours. I was an alpha before and while I don't desire to ever be again ... the wolf feels different. I would fight your alpha on the full moon Luke ... your mate ...
-He let the words sink before he grabbed some of the steaks and helped him towards the table. They set the food down before he moved towards the kids and stared at Tris-
Can I hold one?
-Tris hesitated before she nodded slowly. Aiden looked down and grabbed Jax slowly holding the baby up who squeeled in the big human's arms and moved and grabbed at his face and hair. Aiden smiled a bit slowly nuzzling against his neck purring a bit, one wolf to another, before holding him back a bit and just holding the baby seemingly healed a bit by the touch-

No, not really. I've just... gotten used to it, that's all. Accepted what I can't change. I wasn't an angel that night either, neither was anyone else. But it's whatever.
~He smiled at Aiden and then the smile grew when he talked about the twins.~
yeah, hopefully we'll have more than just them too.
~And then Aiden stopped him and he cocked his head and then the smile turned into a grin.~
Yeah? Well, you go right ahead, she might just show you that not all women are soft, sweet, things. I've learned that shit the hard way.
~He laughed though, clapped Aiden on the back and moved to where Phrix and Tris were talking, or pretending to talk as they listened to the two. The fox looked up at the ex alpha as he approached and smiled when he scooped up Jax after Tris said he could. Phrix looked over at Tris, giving her a grin. Luke gave a short little laugh and then moved in to pick up Cora who was now whining a bit and nuzzled into her.~
Hey there baby girl....
~He purred the words and then dropped down in a chair next to Tris. Phrix watched Aiden and then kicked out the chair next to him for the wolf.~
I could get used to this....
