8. What's It In For Me?

Damon and Mariella were in the Azores and had a perfect time. This was their paradise, and Damon didn't outright say what all he and Mimi had done here. But he had a problem.

He now had a cat form, an alpha male, that had surfaced after Bran, Samuel, and the other victims had been taken to the magic house. His dominant form was a big black and also winged lion. He was a huge, muscular feline and very alpha. 

He showed Mariella his form and she responded by showing hers. She was a normal lioness, brown, but she had a little violet color in the tips of her fur, making her kind of exotic looking. She was not overly huge, very cute, at least in Damon's eyes. They had fun in The Azores. They ran and played and swam too. And of course, used those lust stones.

Mariella laughed when Damon said, " Fine, I am the alpha male, and you will be my alpha female. We are an alpha couple."

Mariella said, " No, I won't. First things first. Alpha power is not compatible with white power. No matter how much I want to be an alpha female, I can't. Besides, it's not my thing. An alpha female leads and protects the pack. Right now, I'm the one being protected. If there was a fight, would you take me with you? No, when you put me in a safe place. Who would you, Damon, my alpha, take into that fight? Think for a moment and say."

Mariella looked at Damon all innocent and sweet, but she had one particular idea in her mind. She wanted to power up her energy grid and in order to get a good amount of force, they would need one certain female in the pack. 

Damon looked at Mariella for a long moment and said, "Mimi? It will not happen. The lady will fight me on every issue, and I'm not in the mood to fight over every decision all the time. Fine, we don't have an alpha female. We can do without that, too."

But somehow, he wasn't convinced of that himself either.

Mariella smiled and said, "You have always wanted to put Mimi in her place and properly. And now neither Charles nor Adam have any say in the matter. Think again about the look on Mimi's face when you put the lady in her place properly. You've told me enough about Mimi to make that clear. You need to establish dominance over her but also get her on board being now in this pack. If I understand her correctly based on what you have told me, she is independent as can be and she might even try to leave the pack. At least she is working at the moment. She has never really respected an alpha properly, not you, nor Adam, and certainly not Bran. She is Alpha as can be, and I am pretty sure that she has been in her feline forms longer than we have. She is that strong. So you need to be in A-game to rein her." 

Damon was silent for a moment and said lazily, " Fine, let's try it then. This will be a real challenge, but darling, I am not entirely sure where this is going. You see, every time I came up, properly, I seemed to inspire her to recite, meaning she would rile me up and fast. So this could be explosive. Oh, Mimi must have a good look on her face when I tell her about breeding and making cubs. I wonder what are her forms?"

They were in the Azores for a few more weeks, and Damon knew he would never take Mariela to the basement. They had a wild time, and this was now their paradise, but still. Damon sealed the cellar door, so it didn't exist anymore. He was not sure why he had done it.

As an energy creature, there would have been some wild energies, but maybe he wanted to preserve those energies, to keep them. And someday, maybe, Mimi would meet the master again. Damon was not sure about Mariella's ability to handle such treatment, so he didn't even suggest or push the issue.

I was on base in Georgia and we had some busy times now that Magnum was out of the picture. I had been busy, doing missions and planning them, ordering stuff, moving people around, and getting to know most of them. Adam had been there with Charles for a while but as there was no more marrok, those two had made plans to come up with a suitable way to handle all the werewolves' issues. Colin was busy as he got all of Samuel's clinics and he was putting them in order, so if I happened to get a few bullets in the gig, it was no biggie; I dug them out myself later when I got the time.

Damon and Mariella returned to Georgia's mansion. This had been one of Mimi's purchases and there was no wing. This was big and since there had never been a consecrated main bedroom, Damon had found some room for them. It had not been the main bedroom because Mimi's stuff was in the main bedroom and it was obvious that Miss had slept or spent time in there.

Adam and Charles came there too. When Damon asked, "Where is Mimi? Is she a road trip or something?"

Charles answered like it would have been every day, "No, she is working, doing missions, and planning. She is actually on the base here in Georgia. Not sure if she is yet free to come here."

Damon sighed. Somehow, the thought of Mimi doing a mission had made him feel restless. Somehow unease too.

Mariella said, "What do you say if we go to that base and get her home? You could show her right there your power and make sure she understands your status as pack leader."

Adam said, "Mimi is doing important work. She is not an unruly child who needs to be bullied to obey. She will not cooperate if you storm in there and demand her to be a good girl. Besides, she might be on a mission for days."

Damon sighed, like he thought, it was not so easy.

He said, "First of all, where is this base? I do not know. But you two know, so you will take us there, and we will wait for Miss to come back if she is not in there. Now there is no Damien, so I can help too. I have my resources and I get it is difficult since Magnum is out of the picture and everything is new. Mariella has a point though, Mimi needs to see that I mean what I say and I am no pushover. "

Charles kept his mouth shut. What Mariella said, goes. At least when it comes to Damon. They ate and spent time in the bedroom a few days before Damon was ready to go and get Mimi back home. Adam and Charles cooked and Damon had compelled them not to warn Mimi. Mariella had jeans, a tee shirt, and a leather jacket, just like Damon had too. Adam and Charles didn't need jackets. Adam drove to the base and Mariella was curious, about what it would be like. She wanted to see this, the actual base of operations, and Mimi as the leader. 

I had just come back from one mission, and no one died, but I did get a few bullets in my skin as my new strategy was to go in my feline form to scout and then escape. Well, I had been a cougar. I could take almost any cat shape, but I had only a few of them living inside me. So few of my forms were stronger than others.

I could not go as jaguar, snow leopard, lion, or leopard because they are not native here, but cougar, rare but not so suspicious, few guards had been trigger-happy, and I had several bullets in me. I had put the sign on my door. Do not disturb, meaning no one comes in. Not in any case. I had my bigger first aid kit open in before me, then; I had a metal detector, the rod which I used to pinpoint where bullets were so I could cut them out of me. It would hurt, but I had my rage blasted quite open, so pain was not an issue. 

Mariella looked in awe as they stepped out of the car. This looked like some kind of industrial hall, almost a garage, but she could see the energies, the spells woven into it, so this was only a coverup.

Damon said, "Mimi has quite a lot witches in her organization, strong ones I see, and Constantine and Dresden helped her too. But let's go inside."

They stepped inside, Adam and Charles went first, they told everyone who these two were and Damon could see that this was one of the bigger bases, with lots of people, computers, and guns, and it was busy, in big tables people were talking about gigs and looking at maps or satellite images too. He stood there a minute, letting all of these powerful energies collect into his tanks. Saving humans created interesting energies, and he was more than happy to use them.

Mariella did the same and then Damon tried to see where Mimi's office was. This was a sizeable space, and there were several rooms, too. Charles and Adam had gone to talk to one group, and then Charles glanced to his left to one bigger door where there was the sign, Do Not Disturb. That must be Mimi's study. 

Charles came back and said, "Mimi is here but she is busy, so wait, she has some project and she is not to be disturbed."

Damon sighed, then something almost gave him a headache, a kind of dizzy feeling, and he shook his head.

Mariella said gently, "It is fine, Damon, it is your protector radar. You are keeping it somehow in the bundle and not letting it come out. Let it come out, that means there is some problem in Mimi when radar alerts."

Damon said, "Fine. If Miss has some problem, so that my radar alerts, I am not going to wait for her to be ready. I am going in."

Damon focused, and suddenly, his radar popped open. It took some time for him to understand all the data and once he saw it; he groaned and started to walk toward Mimi's office.

He said to Mariella, "Go on darling, talk to people. As I said, Mimi has a lot of witches and you might want them to come to the magic house to live and not be only Mimi's service."

Mariella smiled and started to walk with Adam and Charles, going to talk with everyone. Adam rolled his eyes. But Damon was the pack leader and there was nothing he could do.

I had just taken my upper body bare; I had my supplies ready and the first bullet was near my liver, fine; I took ready some blood clotting powder, put a towel on my lap, took the scalpel, and made an incision. Then I started to feel around with one finger. It was not nice, and I groaned, but my rage helped. I could not use instruments as it had to do with my sense of touch. I was focusing but sighing in my mind as there were 1001 things for me to do and decide. It seemed that this would be my life for a while, as there was so freaking much to do.

Aha. Found it, it was deeper than I expected it to be and I put another finger so I could get that damn bullet out, using any instrument was not working because I needed to feel the bullet, I could not see it so well, I did this usually feeling around. I got the bullet between my fingers and slowly pulled it out. It clung as it hit the metal bowl. I wiped my fingers. My wound was almost healed already. 

I took my metal finder and the next beep came in my gut. Damn, this was not so good, as my gut had some nasty germs, but I needed to be extra careful. I didn't notice that the door opened and Damon stepped in as I sliced my belly open. I used this mild birch spray to prevent my wound from closing. It was gentle enough. This I would have to do with instruments. I had antibiotic concentrate in medbay here and I could do probably a few doses with it. 

A quiet, dangerous voice asked next to my ear," And what on earth you are doing here? Operating on yourself? You have here medics?"

Damon was not happy to see me. I did not answer as I tried to take a wound spreader. Passionfruit stank. I tried not to roll my eyes, as this required a steady hand.

His grip on my wrist was tight, and he hissed into my ear." You stop this right now. Why do you open yourselves up?"

I said. My voice was crisp. I was not in the mood for him to barge to my place and start asking questions, "I have a few bullets in me. I have taken them out before. I actually know what I am doing."

He said, "No you don't, now be a good girl and let me do my job as your protector and pack leader. I have come to take you home. Time to learn to live in a pack." 

He lifted me in his arms, took me to my plush couch, and lay me on my back. Soon Mariella came in too. She said nothing at first.

Damon asked Mariella, "Did you know this idiot was operating on herself? She has bullets in her body and she was digging them out with her bare hands? I need to take them out, to see where they are at first."

Mariella wrapped herself around Damon, and said, "Well, make first transparency spell, then evaluate whether they are easier to remove with magic and energy or operate, she has healing ability in place but if some bullets are in a bad place of course, then you can't pull them out."

Damon grunted. He used some sort of spell to clean my skin, so my incision closed. He made that spell and then just used energy and the spell to pull them out. It hurt like hell, but my rage was blasted open, so I didn't care. I commented a little as this one was cranky mood. After that, I dressed and was ready to go as I had little a choice, but I knew that I had gotten things pretty well in order and besides these two, well they would fuck and then some so I had time to do work from the house too. And if their mating would accelerate, I could come back always if needed. 

I then went back to the pack because the new pack leader, Damon, told me to. It was going to be a battle of wills because my default setting is that I don't obey Damon. This is the side that always makes my tongue sing and sing well.

And now he was the pack leader and I could and would be pissed if I didn't obey. I didn't know what kind of punishments the Lord was going to hand out, though, and I had no intention of finding out just yet. We arrived by teleportation. I went to my bedroom, the main bedroom, to have a good shower and change of clothes as Mariella and Damon had found each other.

I enjoyed my shower, then I focused on my readings. My fleas had delivered yet another batch of books that I read and used that knowledge too. I enjoyed my life; I knew it could be until those two stopped fucking that nothing will change at all, and if it seems they were not gonna stop, I will return to base to get some actual work done. 

Mariella lay next to Damon and said, "Oops, I did it again."

Damon grunted and said, "Nope, I just made this little trap for one female. Soon to be the alpha female of the pack. Now let me tell you what will happen. "

And Damon told his plans to Mariella. She was thrilled, not just because this would be a whole new thing to Mimi, but because he would start to interact with her again. By making Mimi his Alphafemale, Mimi would be his spouse, his wife, and his breeding partner in the future. It would be all about Mimi when it came to breeding. She would lead and the rest of the females would lead, so she would have a responsibility as the alpha female, too. 

They had a shower. Damon cleansed himself very carefully, and he was preparing to take his alpha for the first time. And then he would scent her. His bump would be a specialized, scenting bump and he would fuck with Mimi long and hard. Filling her well, so long that his scent would come out in her skin. He would also bite her neck, mating mark, alpha mark, and that would not go away very easily at all. And what was best? Mimi did not know about her fate.

When they went into the kitchen, Damon told the main points about this to Adam and Charles, as well as to wolves. He also changed their seating. So that wolves were seated next to men, Mariella was on his left and Mimi's place as devoted alpha female would be on his right. Everything was now ready. Then he telepathically called his first wife to eat. 

I was reading my books when Salvatore said in my mind, "Baby, come to eat, or else I will come and get you and you know me and flanks." 

I did not say anything but put my books away, in my little hide and went to the kitchen, where everyone was already eating.

I was a little surprised to see that my seat was taken, and we had a smaller table. I didn't have, or we never had, a formal seating arrangement. It was a bit like each table had a favorite seat, and mine was always next to Charles these days. So when I went, Charles sat between Shadow and Adam. The wolves also sat at the dining table for some reason. Mimosa was on the other side of Adam, and there was only one place left on the table. 

Damon motioned to the seat next to him. Somehow it seemed out of place to me, but I went and sat down, anyway.

Damon looked at me and nodded. " Good, now the entire pack is here. There have been a few changes to this pack, and some of you may have a hard time with them at first, but you will soon learn. I am now the pack leader. Mimi, Charles, and Adam have accepted this completely and have no intention of challenging me, so please don't even try. Another thing: We have alternative forms, so we are now a new species. We are no longer vampire-werewolf hybrids. We are super shapeshifters, multiples, meaning we have many shapes and they are all felines, including you, Mimi. But you knew this already as you have had your felines inside you."

His voice was sharp. I just nodded.

He said, "Let me introduce my forms to you first, to all of you."

Damon stood up, walked a few steps, and turned into a big black cat. A jaguar. Walked in his cat form for a while and turned into a big black-winged lion, and again after a while walked into a spotted leopard which came to sniff me. Then he changed back into his form and came to sit down.

"Now it's your turn, Mimi. I see you have four cats living inside you. Go on, change, and introduce your felines to us. I know you can take any form that you want, but let's stick to these that live inside you."Damon said.

I stood up and got a snow leopard in my mind and just slipped into that shape. I walked, stretched, and sniffed. A cat's body is so different from a wolf's, and with my snow leopard, Bella was very disdainful of what came from Damon.

I changed the shape of the jaguar, stronger, bigger, stronger instincts to defend against the male. This was my truest form. I was the black jaguar. I was in the mood to be less kind, so I went to Adam and pushed him, marking him very devotedly. He kept his expression neutral, but I wanted to stake my claim on him.

Then next I was the lion. I was a big white female lion, whereas Damon was more or less nothing. Even lions are pack animals. My lion went to Charles too and pushed him carefully, scenting him just by passing.

Lastly, a leopard. From this, Damon was magnificent. This cat wanted to fuck, not breed, like fuck. Lusty leopard Clea. This is going to be an interesting time.

I thought as I changed into my form and went to sit on Damon's right again. Mariella's expression was expectant, as Damon would have another big reveal and one I wouldn't necessarily like. Damon frowned at Charles' smirk. He had been taken by my lioness. She knew who she wanted. 

Damon said, "I am an alpha male and pack leader. I also need an alpha female. Now, Mimi, you will be the alpha female of the pack, my alpha female. We are the alpha couple. You will obey me without question, and since we are a couple, well, you know what that means. One day we'll breed. Seriously, we'll make cubs."

I was silent. This was not what I wanted, not at all. I was alpha, yes. But not his. No, but I could see that he meant every single fucking word. I felt all eyes were on me. Damon continued. 

"Someday. Go ahead and get ready for that, Mimi, but after we've eaten, my female alpha, what we will be doing is going to do a little bonding. The basement is a magnificent space. My males were going to show you how strong they are and we'll get our Alpha bond in place. Mariella doesn't go for alpha female because alpha power messes with white power. You are Mimi, now an alpha female. You have your responsibility now for this pack, so you can't run away."

He stood as to get something and suddenly bit me in the neck, and strong, right into my pheromone gland, I could his mark sinking in. He bit me for a few minutes then let go and licked my very sensitive throbbing neck. Then he went to get me something to eat.

I thought, oh fuck, alpha female, alpha couple, really, but Damon wants Mariella, not me... That would probably require a relationship and would also tie me directly to Damon and his power. My neck was sore, I focused on eating. Mariella smiled happily. Charles's and Adam's expressions were neutral. I had little a choice here. 

All the cats in my head were saying," Phew! That's nothing to be afraid of. "

We ate, and Damon grabbed my hand as I got up from the table so I wouldn't run away.

We went to the basement, and Damon said, " Go on, change, let the cat come out, go on, the cats will swap when it's time."

I turned into a snow leopard and let Bella do what she wanted. Fight. Damon was in his lion form, and they or we were fighting with every cat. Damon bruised and battered them until every cat in me had submitted and accepted Damon as their alpha male.

Damon told me to come out now. I was in jaguar form. "You got a problem, baby? Are you having problems with my power?"

I said, "No, you won't, you're stronger. I accept."

I rolled on my side, showing my belly, trying to get this done as fast as possible.

Damon stood up and started circling me.

He said silkily, warningly. "Come on, get up, show me. We'll see about that, baby, in a minute."

He was on me before I could get my feet under me properly. He moved to my side and grabbed the back of my neck. He lifted one of his hind legs over me so I was under him. He landed on top of me, and I felt something hard and hot hit near my asshole. Then it pushed into my cunt.

Damon pushed in deep. His cock was hard, hot and every time he pulled out, the spikes were raking the walls of my pussy. It was as if he had spikes. He fucked harder and harder, enlarging inside me so that the spikes hurt more and more, but still, I felt the climax approaching.

I shrieked as I came, and Damon bit the side of my neck and shot deep inside me. He took me in every cat form, and instinctively I fought back. But the result was always the same. Me under Damon and him deep in my pussy, fucking, dominating his female.

Eventually, he let me change into my human form. We fought, I kicked and touched him, tried to win but he slammed my feet from under me, got me on my belly, made some spell that I was naked, and began to thrust hard and huge, into my ass, demanding submission. He yanked my arms behind my back. 

The heat was almost too much again. He held me still and pushed me millimeter by millimeter, squirting something into my gut - well, finally, I submitted, and he fucked me in the ass hard and brutally.

Then he pulled away, still holding me, and pushed me from behind into her pussy, hard and rough. He showed no mercy. This was just like a vampire wedding. Then he showed me his palm where his mark had appeared. He smelled like passionfruit.

I was stinking of sex and sweat, and I was dying for a shower. Damon turned me on my back and again penetrated my pussy depths with his monumental cock and started fucking. I came with a series of fires, and finally, he came and started to fill me with his hot, thick love juices.

I was helpless, in throes of pleasure. He was just too good at this, and he seemed to have some extra skills even more. Damon rolled us sideways and was still deep in my fucking, filling me up. He guided his bump around my body with energy and held me tight against him. He wrapped his legs around my legs, and I couldn't get any further away. I was completely against a sweaty man's body that smelled very much like passionfruit.

Although I understand stuffing doesn't have to be quite so tight in me.

Damon said, "This bump you have inside you, and what keeps getting in there more and more, is scenting you with my scent. You, my female alpha, will, from now on, always carry my scent with you. We are an alpha couple. Now, I will perfume you until I am satisfied with your scent. Then we will go to the shower where I will wash you, choose your clothes, and do your hair, and then my Alpha, we will go in front of the pack for breakfast, and everyone, I mean everyone, will smell and see that we are indeed an Alpha couple."

He bit my alpha mark every so often, licked it, kept my pheromones open, fucked me to bits and a little more. I thought, oh my life, why does everything have to be so complicated? We were in an entangled alliance for a long time. He started to get swelled up and got stuck.

Then he started squirting against my cervix, telling me in his silky voice, " Can you feel me opening your uterus already? You now have a permanent cat uterus. I am opening your womb and penetrating it, conquering it. I will fill it with substances that will tell your uterus that it now has an alpha male that wants to reproduce." His voice was dark, seductive, and satisfied.

"It'll take, baby, it'll take time, it really will, but I'm already preparing you. Remember when I gave you that stuff that said no yet? Well, baby, I've undone that now. Oh, I'm waiting for you to start twisting the cat heat on yourself again, and now, baby, I can guarantee you results will come, literally. And baby, now those bad times are behind us. I am free of Damien. We have a new pack, a new time starting. And we have now a whole new relationship, you and I. So now you may use those crawlers with spikes, they help things along quite a lot."

I felt him push against my cervix, squirting and twisting it open. How he reached my womb, and I felt my horns fill with his scented nectar. I was helpless, and I was his. And I had fully accepted my fate. I had no choice but to go with the flow. 

He fucked me into the shower, and while he was drying me, I was fucked very well and he chose my clothes, but first; he rubbed them against his neck, to his pheromone glands. We went to breakfast, and I was smelling like the passionfruit. My strawberries were pretty much in the background. I was wearing a pale cherry satin top and a pale purple short silk skirt. Mariella seemed content. Of course, when they get me all pretty and in order.
