Griz gave a deep chuckle as his hands moved from her backside to the small of her back and worked the knots out of her muscles with firm movements of his fingers and hands, "It's called a massage... And as long as you're with me, you'll be getting them regularly," he told her simply. From there, he moved slowly up her back, working out every knot.
He went from her back to her arms, making sure to take care of each one thoroughly from shoulder to fingertip. From there, he shifted to her thighs then her calves.
And when he had her turned to putty, he turned her over and worked on the front of her body. But he was determined that she'd get the massage before he did anything else with her today. He started at her feet and moved up her body slowly, making sure that he didn't miss a single muscle or nerve bundle.
He grinned at each moan and groan from her, knowing full well that he was relaxing her even as he was turning her fire up higher. But he was determined to spoil her... |

If she hadn’t melted fully before, she did as soon as Griz’s words penetrated her mushy brain. Looking over her shoulder at him as he worked the knots out of her back, she sent him a soft smile – one filled with tenderness and another unnamed emotion.
When he urged her to turn back around so he could manipulate the muscles of her upper back, she complied with a contented sigh. On and on his fingers kneaded and stroked her tired muscles, constantly working out all the kinks she didn’t even know she had. He called it a massage, and if she was going to be getting them regularly, she’d be hard moved to leave such a wonderful life.
However, the thought of her potential life here was overshadowed by the thought of her brother. He was still out there, and it would be only a matter of time before he strikes again. And this time, Saoirse knew that he would not pull any punches, like he had before. She had people she cared about now that he would consider a weakness and would fully exploit it if given the chance.
Saoirse pushed away her dark thoughts, so that they wouldn’t mess with her time with her bear. There would be plenty of time to think and plan for Galen’s eminent attack. But that was not this time. No, this time was for just her and her lover and once he finished his ‘massage’, she was a complete puddle of goo. With a soft purr, she buried her head into his pillow and inhaling his masculine scent as her eyes closed in contented peace.

Griz had been spending alot of time working with Saoirse on acclimating to the pack, training the younger members of the pack in fighting training, and working with Bane on the protection of the pack. He and Bane worked well together, and Trey worked well with everyone.
They found that Trey worked particularly well with the youngest members of the pack, so she'd been playing, training, and organizing them.
Saoirse had found that she could work well with those in Cass' age group. Once Griz had helped her with her hand-to-hand training, she'd been passing that on to those ready for that training.
Bane and Griz took on the adults as well as working on the protections.
Egan had made certain that Griz knew about Goh and Luna and the threat of both of them. Griz had pointed out the threat of Galen. Both had become determined to make certain that the pack was thoroughly protected and trained.
Griz had hidden nothing from Saoirse and Bane had made certain that Trey knew what the threats were.
Trey had sent messages to her former packmates, inviting them into the area. So Bane was waiting for them to show up. He made regular patrols over the area, flying to stretch his wings, give Trey a ride, and to make sure that the place was safe for her.
The surprise was Za'Vira and Casee. Za'Vira had proven to be a better healer than even she'd expected to be. And Casee was quickly turning out to be an extremely rare soul-healer. He hadn't said anything else about the attack on his family, though. Only Za'Vira knew any of it at this point. In his mind, they'd take care of the problem together.
But right now, the pack house was winding down for the evening. Dinner had come and gone and the cubs were all settled for the night.
Bane simply tossed Trey over his shoulder to carry her upstairs to their room. Griz led the way up with Saoirse following him to their room after she'd gotten Cass to bed. Za'Vira was putting Casee to bed in her room so that she could keep an eye on him so that he didn't sneak out to try helping someone else through their dreams without her keeping an eye on him. |

Saoirse wiped the condensation off the mirror and studied her freckled features. Her cheeks no longer had a sunken hallow to them, instead they were round and plush. It was startling what a regular meal and happiness could do to one’s appearance. No longer did she look fearful or desolate, instead she looked healthy and whole. And it was all thanks to her bear and his love and attention he lavished upon her that made it so. Not to mention, her brother hadn’t been heard from in weeks and she knew it was only a matter of time before that shoe dropped back into their laps, but as Griz constantly told her, there was no need to worry. He had her and was never letting go nor would he allow any harm to come to her.
Smiling softly to herself, she opened the bathroom door and strode into the bedroom with her damp towel still wrapped around her bosom. When she caught her lover’s stare, she smiled at him before running her fingers through her curling wet hair. “What are we doing tomorrow, lover?” she asked him. When he didn’t immediately say anything in response, she slowly sashayed her way closer to him, wrapping her arms around his muscular chest and nuzzling into it. She would never tire of the feel of his skin against hers. Nor the way his skin trapped her scent in with his, claiming him as hers. Speaking of scents… Taking a deep breath, she allowed his own masculine scent to wrap around her senses and tension she didn’t even know still rode her gradually eased from her body as she snuggled even closer to her bear.

Griz was, as usual, a bit speechless when he saw her. But he couldn't help the heat of his gaze as he looked her over as she walked over to him and put her arms around him. He wrapped his own arms around her and held her to him, leaning in to inhale her scent from her neck. That scent pulled a low pleased growl from him, something she seemed to love hearing from him.
"You are so beautiful, moy krasivyy kotenok," he whispered to her softly then had to give her neck a n** before he let her go and moved to pull his shirt off then sat on the bed to pull his boots off. He was still amazed that she stayed with him and never failed to show her how much he appreciated her. Yes, he spoiled her. And she knew he was doing it. But he never apologized for spoiling her or showing her how much he appreciated her being with him for as long as he had her.
He was still expecting her to bolt on him at some point, but he was also hoping that she would decide to stay. She just hadn't said anything to him about it yet. Admittedly, he hadn't asked either, but he didn't want her to think he was pressuring her about it. It was a fine line, but he was treading it carefully enough that Bane had tried to ask him about it. He'd fended off the dragon, but he wasn't sure how long that was going to last...
"Ah... Tomorrow... Well, all classes are cancelled for the next couple of days. Just got word from Wind and Dancer that Morrigan's gone into labor. Which means that I got volunteered to check on the nursery. Morrigan's letting Wind adopt the cubs. After she and Gypsy lost Ohvan in that attack, neither of them can handle raising a child. Gypsy's letting Ash and Anna adopt her baby once it's born," he explained to her.
She'd met Gypsy and Morrigan a few times, though she'd been justifiably cautious around them both. Gypsy was aloof normally, but losing Ohvan, their male Mate, had made Gypsy even more closed off to everyone but Morrigan. Morrigan was normally an easy-going wolf, but losing Ohvan had made her cling to Gypsy even more. Both females were having a hard time with the loss as well as the pregnancies.
Saoirse had also met Dancer, the third part of the triad with Wind and Egan. It had surprised him that Dancer had been the one that had helped her relax more with the pack. Then again, it was hard to dislike Dancer. He was still confused by them exchanging insults and teasing each other so happily, but it she seemed to enjoy it so he wasn't complaining about it.
But he let her know that he was cleaning and rearranging the nursery for tomorrow.
As she approached him this time, he slid an arm around her waist and pulled her into him to stand between his legs and looked up at her with a teasing smile, "That means that you're free to do anything you want tomorrow. Even Cass has the day off. But he's been talking about spending tomorrow with a girl..." he pointed out to her, reminding her again about the freedom she had here.
If she wanted to stay in bed all day, she could. If she wanted to hang out in the forest in the basement, she could do that too. If she wanted to help him with the nursery, she could do that as well. |

Saoirse let her bear lover pull her into another embrace, and as she leaned into his arms, she slowly twined her arms around his neck. Burying her fingers into the nape of his neck, she curled some of his little hairs around her fingers and tugged gently as she thought about his words. What did she want to do tomorrow? There were numerous things she had yet to really discover of the Pack House because it was so big, but some of the places still intimidated her. Everyone had been very welcoming and helpful so far, but she still found it hard to accept both the warmth and help from someone else. Thankfully, her bear knew this and was able to allow her to find her own feet at her own pace.
At his mention of Cass and the girl he wanted to go see, Saoirse’s nostrils flared slightly as her eyes flashed. Her poor cub had hit such a giant growth spurt since the first time they met, that she was unsure whether to call him a cub or not. However, the motherly instincts that he awakened in her all those months ago in the market were still firing off on all cylinders and the idea of another girl coming to possibly take her young cub away from her.. well it didn’t sit right with her.
“I do not know about this girl Cass wishes to spend time with. Perhaps I should go spend the day with him and meet this girl.” Saoirse said, her voice low and borderline pouty. She knew she was probably acting irrational, but the lioness was still trying to come to terms with all these strange emotions that swelled inside her whenever her young cub was near or when she thought about him. The emotions that Griz evoked inside her were a little easier to understand.
At his words, her lips pulled back in a small growl but his next actions quickly took the sting out of it. He was right, of course but that didn’t make her feel any better. Knowing that she needed to change her train of thought, Saoirse tugged the damp towel from around her body and let it drop to the floor before climbing into Griz’s lap and wrapping herself around him. Once his arms wrapped around her and pulled her close, she buried her nose in his loose hair and sighed.
“Perhaps I will go with you to the nursery. I’ve only been a handful of times, and never with you. Plus, I could use the experience with the younger cubs that way if you need to help with the new baby, I could be of help to you.” She murmured, her voice slightly muffled.

Griz gave a soft chuckle as he twisted a bit and slid her onto the bed and leaned down over her with a half grin on his face, "Yeah... You're helping me tomorrow... Give Cass a chance. He's actually afraid to let you meet this girl. He said something about you scaring her off..." he teased her a bit, knowing that she wouldn't dare hurt Cass' feelings that way. But he couldn't help but tease her about it...
He leaned in to give her a teasing kiss then pulled up so that he could finish stripping down. The first thing he did was pull the tie out of his hair so that she could play with it. He'd noticed that she loved his hair so he let her play with it whenever she wanted to. Considering that it fell halfway down his back, there was plenty of it to play with.
He slid out of his jeans then finally moved to lay down next to her, pulling her in against his chest. He loved simply holding her whenever they came back to his room, loved the simplicity of having someone to hold for the first time in his life. He never took it for granted that she let him hold her. Of course, he was also grateful for the fringe benefits...
He pulled her in closer so that he could smell her hair and gave a soft growl at the scent of her. He put both arms around her and held her as close as he could.
In so many ways, she was a miracle to him. He wanted to ask her to bond with him, to make them a permanent pairing like Bane and Trey, like Wind and Egan and Dancer were... But something kept him from asking. He wasn't sure what it was yet... Maybe it was the risk of her saying no... |

Saoirse pouted at him, but allowed him to tuck her into their bed nonetheless. “He’s just a cub, Griz. He shouldn’t be thinking about other females like that yet. I was well into my adulthood by the time that I-“ she started to protest but trailed off before finishing her sentence. She dropped her eyes from his gaze and tugged at the covers a bit. She wasn’t being fair. Cass, was not like her. He did not have to live through the things she did as his age, and as such.. he deserved to be able to explore his desires as they come to him. She was being like him, and that was the last thing she wanted to do or be.
Biting her lip to keep it from trembling, she tried to turn away from her bear, but he wouldn’t let her. Instead, he lent down and kissed her teasingly before undressing and climbing into bed and pulling her into his embrace. She tensed only briefly before relaxing fully into his arms and snuggling close. No matter her insincerities or past, her sweet lover knew just had to put her at ease and rid her of her worries.
“I’m sorry.” She whispered, kissing his chest softly before turning her face up to his. “Let’s not talk about it anymore. Tell me instead of what it’s like being in the nursery? How many cubs do we have? And what kind of shifters are they?” she asked, knowing that a change of subject was very much needed to fully pull her away from the dark path her thoughts were trying to go down.

Griz gave a pleased growl when she figured it out on her own then decided to take pity on her, "He's only having lunch with her in the main room downstairs. Then I think he talked about a walk int he underground forest. He asked about a walk round the marketplace, but I suggested the underground forest on a safety standpoint," he pointed out to her, letting her know that it was just a first date kind of thing for Cass.
But then he moved on, "The nursery is set up to take care of all the youngest cubs in the house. All the parents in the house can use it and anyone in the house can do 'baby duty' if they want to. That's basically changing diapers and feeding, a little playing with them, but basically keeping an eye on them all if something is needed," he explained then did his best to answer the rest of her questions.
"I don't know how many cubs Morrigan will have. But they'll be half-breeds like Dancer, only wolves instead of cats. We just have to set up the cribs and puppy baskets for them, see what else needs to be supplied... That kind of thing. It's easy, but takes a bit of lifting on my part," he teased a bit about his muscles, knowing that she'd appreciate it.
He was considering taking her out of the house in a day or two, showing off his motorcycle that he'd been working on rebuilding. She'd seen him working on a few parts here and there, but hadn't seen the entire beast. He'd been forced to create it almost from scratch so that it would take his weight. Thankfully, he knew what to do since he'd grown up in a motorcycle club. He'd cut his teeth on old handlebars...
He went silent for a moment as he held her, then knew he had to ask at least part of what he wanted to know, "Are you staying?" he asked her in a soft whisper. He kept asking her that question. At least once a week, some times every other day. She always said the same thing to him, that she was thinking about it. It wasn't a commitment yet. But he kept hoping she'd change her answer.... |

Saoirse hummed under her breath as she listened to Griz explain the nursery to her. There was a lot involved with the younger cubs and babes, and she didn’t know if she would be any good at it. She has never been around infants or little ones like that before. And even though Cass may have awakened some long-lost mothering instinct – she didn’t know how deep that instinct ran. Would she be a good caretaker? Would Griz still be happy with her if she were terrible with small children? How much of a mothering female was she really?
All these thoughts rattled through her head, as her bear lover slowly finished explaining about Morrigan and the upcoming tasks that would be needed to take care of her and her babies. Tightening her grip around her mountain man, she listened contently to his heartbeat and the slow strong cadence of its thumping. Between that lovely sound in her ears and his smell along with his warm arms wrapping around her, she slowly started to drift off to sleep. She could feel her eyes growing heavier with each passing moment but before she fully sunk into slumber, Griz’s grip tightened around her body miniscule and he whispered a question that had the lioness’ heart shutter to a stop before beating rapidly.
Licking her lips, she raised half hooded eyes, sleep still trying to pull her under but she knew that this was something she would need to address eventually with her lover. He tried not to ask it very often, but she knew that her indecision to commit fully to staying here weighed heavily on his mind and heart, and she felt bad that she was still so unsure.
“I don’t know.” She murmured to him as she shifted her body weight to be completely plastered against his side, with one leg thrown over his. “I know the answer you wish for me to give, and I know it mirrors the one I want to give you.. but I can’t. Not until I know my brother is no longer a threat. I care for you deeply, Griz, and I’m not planning on going anywhere any time soon. But I can’t promise that I won’t ever leave. If it comes down to you and your people’s safety – I would. And I won’t apologize for that. I’ve never felt the things I feel for you before, and those emotions and feelings are worth protecting.” She said, bringing her hand up to cup his scruffy cheek gently. She knew her words hurt him, but she was nothing if not honest and she didn’t want him to commit himself to her fully if she had to leave to protect them all. Her happiness wasn’t worth his or Cass’ life. Not while Galen was at large.

Griz was hurt by her continued rejection but he didn't show it. He simply gave her a small smile and pressed a kiss to her forehead then her lips, "I understand," he whispered softly to her, simply letting it go again, "Go ahead and get some sleep," he added, knowing that she was beyond tired after her long day.
As she settled back down, he turned towards the door and gave a small frown. Then his expression cleared and he gave a soft sigh, "One of the kids is out of bed. I'll be back when I get him back down for the night. Go ahead and sleep. I shouldn't be long," he told her softly then gave her another tender kiss and pulled the blanket over her as he sat up to pull on a pair of jeans. He didn't bother with a shirt or shoes, simply buttoned up his pants and pulled his hair back into a simply tail at the base of his head.
He leaned over and gave her another kiss then left the room to find Casee moving down the hallway. He simply moved over and scooped him up over his shoulder, "Come on, cub... Back to bed. Za'Vira isn't going to be happy that you've escaped like this..." he said simply as he carried him back to the room Za'Vira was using and knocked on the door.
When she answered it, he gave her a half-grin and held out the boy, "Lose something?" he said with simple humor. Casee's escapes had become a regular thing by now. |

Griz simply handed the boy over with a simple nod then moved back down the hallway, but was distracted by someone else with a few questions. This was a common occurrence in the house and Saoirse knew it. She was getting used to it by now.
He answered the questions then picked up another cub that was wandering around, this one in fox form. He scooped that one up and took her back to her parents, who were grateful to have her back.
It still took him hours to get back. Sure enough, Saoirse was asleep when he took off his jeans and slid in behind her. He propped his head up on one hand as he watched her sleep for a few moments then gave a soft sigh as he settled down to get some sleep.
Casee gave a soft sigh as he was put back in bed and settled in, "Mari is having nightmares again. I used to cuddle with her in wolf form and she'd settle into better dreams. But she's got nightmares again. About the brother that clawed her throat," he told her honestly and gave another soft sigh as he snuggled further into the bed.
Of course, he hadn't mentioned that he was helping her with her own nightmares, but he didn't think she'd complain about it if she knew.
"And Katie is worried about the cubs coming. She just needs to calm down so that she can think. Griz is already helping with the nursery, so she doesn't have to worry about it," he added then gave a shrug of one shoulder. He knew why Katie was so worried but really didn't know how to help her on that one yet...
"And Griz..." he stopped there, not sure how much to say. In truth, part of that one confused him so he had no idea what to do to help... |

Saoirse frowned at Griz when she noticed his expression, and it caused her stomach to dip. She hated disappointing him, and she knew that she was. She was selfish because she allowed Griz to give her everything while promising him nothing. She was the worst type of person. ‘I don’t deserve him.’ She thought to herself sadly.
Lowering her head, she felt him brush his lips across her forehead before urging her to get some sleep. Nodding her head, but deciding not to say anything lest she mess things up even more, she burrowed herself tightly against his side. One day, if she couldn’t commit, he was going to find someone else who would. Then what would she do? Would she be able to stay here knowing that she lost him to another woman? Would she even want to? These worries weighed heavy in her mind, and so it wasn’t long before she fell asleep.
She didn’t know how long she was asleep before she felt the bed shift as Griz moved away from her, but his gentle assurance that it had nothing to do with her, instead it was a wandering child, had her drifting back off where she fell into a nightmare. Tossing and turning the shadows that haunted her even while she slept was malicious in its energy and she couldn’t help but let out a low whine as she tried to run away from the darkness. But it was always there, nipping at her heels as she got ahead as if to remind her that it was still there.
Suddenly, smoke filled the air and the acrid scent made her nose twitch and as she slowed down to take her in her surroundings again, a demonic face popped out of the shadows and caused her to jerk awake, a silent scream on her lips. One that turned into a gasp as she watched a mysterious man disappear through Griz’s fireplace. “What th-“
