Chapter 26:
We settled into a routine over the next two months. Eating our meals with the rest of the pack in the dining area, Thane helping me with matters pertaining the pack- things that had been put on Juno while I was gone- spending time with Garrus's family and mine together, Kolyat with us too of course. Going out and spending time with the community. It was nice, being back. Taking on the role of princess again.
During this time, the pack doctor had approached me, offering me a place at the hospital. I wanted to jump at the chance- after all, that had been the end goal- but I told him I would have to think it over and discuss it with my mates. I didn't want to force them to live here. Or travel to and from wherever else they wanted to settle.
One day, there was a wave of red energy that washed over the land, and there was a mass announcement that the Reaper forces had all been turned to ash, thanks to the energy blast.
Did you hear that? I called out to Thane.
I did. The war... must be over. There was a bit of silence, where I pictured him talking to someone. Garrus's family and Kolyat are optimistic but trying to keep their hope contained. As am I.
We know he's alive. I reminded him. He's alive. We would have felt it, otherwise.
You're right. I know you're right.
But believing it is an entirely different thing. I know.
Where are you?
I'm with the children, reading them a story, in the library.
I'll come to you.
I'll be waiting.
We closed the connection, and I refocused on my task, slipping back into the silly voices I used for the characters.
The door opened, and I smelled him, but he waited until I was finished, letting me approach him.
"Hey, there, stranger." I greeted, smiling.
He leaned in for a kiss, and I enthusiastically grabbed his collar, pulling him closer. I could feel his smile against my lips.
"Let's go wait for him to reach out to us." He offered, after leaning his head back enough to speak.
"Oh, yes. I would like that." I nodded like a bobblehead.
We said our goodbyes to the children and the librarians, then made our way to our suite, the other three already there. We waited with bated breath, the conversation scattered here and there. Mostly, the time was spent in silence.
Days stretched on, and it was hard not to worry. We'd each tried to call at least once, but none of our attempts were answered.
Another two weeks passed, and we were all on edge. The rest of the pack was, too. He was, after all, the princess's mate. They all felt the anxiety and uncertainty. It would affect them all, if anything happened to either Garrus or Thane.
I was walking out through the door, out into the front courtyard, when I caught his scent. I froze, my eyes immediately finding him. He and Thane were embracing in the middle of the path, and I swallowed hard. He was here. He was okay.
His eyes went to me, and they parted, before he beckoned me over. I bolted, slamming into his body and wrapping around him like an octopus.
"You're here!" I spoke between kisses. "I can't believe you didn't say anything!"
"I wanted it to be a surprise." He chuckled, holding me tight against him.
Thane's arms wrapped around us both, and I bit the turian's shoulder, my canines elongated. He winced.
"That's what you get, for leaving us hanging!" I growled, upset. "We've been worried sick!"
"I would have, but we were trying to find Shepard this whole time." He explained, rubbing my back. "He was on the Citadel when it fell apart. We had to dig him out."
"A single message, Garrus Vakarian!" I was still yelling. "A single message was all it would have taken, for us to know you were safe!"
"Thane, please."
"She's upset with you enough for the rest of us." He said, not offering any aid.
His father and sister approached us then, and I released him, so they could have their time. Much like me, Solana let him have it. Kolyat came and stood with me and Thane, looking on as she handed him his ass.
She looked to me. "And I'm sure you have more to say to him."
"Oh, you have no idea." I growled out.
I'm so relieved he's safe. I kept my tears at bay.
We should give him a proper welcome.
I agree.
"If you two are done, I'm going to go yell at him in private."
They both released him to me, and I grabbed his wrist, marching him back to our suite.
"Sweet girl, please. Just-" He started as we walked through the door, Thane leading the way.
I stepped out of the way, letting him push the turian against the wall, devouring him with a deep kiss. I ducked between them, undoing both of their pants and tugging them down. Thane turned Garrus around, spearing him in one, quick thrust. They both groaned, their pleasure bleeding through to me.
Standing back, I fully stripped and started rubbing the bud between my legs, watching them intently. Goddess, it always overwhelmed me, seeing the two of them together. They moved throughout the suite, taking each other on every piece of furniture, save the spare room. I followed after them, nearly undone by the sight each time. I stopped myself when I got too close to the peak, knowing Thane wouldn't want me to finish without him and Garrus.
Finally, the invited me up onto the bed with them, their hands roaming my body.
"Were you a good girl?"
"I was."
"Did you cum?"
"No." I said proudly.
"What a good girl she is."
"She definitely is." Garrus agreed.
"And good girls get rewards, don't they?"
I held perfectly still, not wanting to give any reason to withhold the reward.
They cleaned themselves off, before having me sit with them in the center of the bed. Garrus, sitting in front of me, pulled me onto his lap. Thane, behind me, pressed close against my back. The turian eased into me, and I let out a soft moan. He angled me so my butt was a little higher in the air, and the drell slid into me, as well. A shiver ran through me- I felt so full, with both at the same time. And this time, I hadn't needed to be prepared for them. I felt very proud by that fact- that my body was just naturally adjusting to take them both.
"Who do you belong to?" A deep, dark, menacing growl from Thane.
"You." I cried out. "You and Garrus. Only you and Garrus."
"What will you do if you meet other mates that smell as good as we do?"
We hadn't discussed this, past me telling them that it could happen.
"We'll reject them." Gen and I said as she rose to the forefront. "We don't need anyone else. We're yours."
They both froze, and we let out a whine at their stillness.
"You would reject others?" Garrus asked softly.
"Yes. Without hesitation. We belong to you. We don't want anyone else, no matter who they are. We belong to you." We repeated. "You. Only you."
Abruptly, they started moving again, thrusting rougher and faster, sending us flying over the peak in a matter of moments. They rode us hard, not giving us an ounce of rest, until well after the sun had risen. Occasionally adding the electricity, when it pleased them. And we let them know just how much we enjoyed it.
I didn't wake up until the afternoon, and even then, I mostly dozed. Our lunch and dinner was brought up to us, since I was clearly in no state to leave the room. I wondered idly how the two of them did it- get fucked silly, fuck each other silly, fuck me silly, and still have energy to be a person.
They both chuckled, and I realized I'd accidentally actually asked that through the link. If a black hole could open up right now...
Thane pressed a kiss to the top of my head, and I melted. I was already as relaxed as I could be, but their little acts of love made me feel all sorts of ways.
The next morning, I woke up in a much better state. So good, that I climbed on top of Garrus and woke him up by riding him slowly. His hands found my hips, and he sped up the pace, lifting me up to slam me down hard on him. Thane laid there beside us for a while, just watching, before he joined in the fun, slipping in behind me. I relished how full they made me. I would be asking for this for a while, and I doubted I would ever get over how overwhelming it was.
A few hours later found us sitting in the living area, eating our breakfast.
"So..." I started, hesitant. "Did it bother you at all, when Genesis came forward alongside me?"
They exchanged glances, before the turian pulled me to him for a kiss. The drell dragged me away from him and covered my mouth with his.
"No." They both assured me.
"If anything, it was interesting." Garrus said. "Honestly, I'd like to do that again."
"She's very animalistic in bed." Thane added. "I doubt I could dominate her as I do you, but I would enjoy the experience again."
I laughed at that. "Actually, she likes it when you treat me like a pet. She howls every time I get a reward for being a good girl."
A spark of interest. "Is that so?"
I felt naked under that stare. "Yeah." Breathless.
"I'll have to keep that in mind, won't I?"
"Yes, please." We both said, Gen rising to the surface.
Another hour passed, with Whose Line on in the background, our mouth occupied. Being used. And we loved it.
Finally, they came on our face, and we licked our lips. Waited as Thane went and grabbed a washcloth to clean our skin with.
"What next?" Garrus asked.
I perked up, sitting perfectly still on my heels in front of the couch. In front of them. There was more?
He chuckled. "Not like that." He pressed a kiss against my hair. "The war is over. The Reapers are dead. What next?"
"I need to continue the clinical trials, when I get the chance." Thane said, coming back after putting the cloth in the wash, sitting next to the turian.
"I, ah." They both looked to me. "I've been offered a spot at the pack hospital. It was the end goal, before I met you two. If you don't want to stay here, I understand. I'll follow you anywhere."
They exchanged glances, and I could see they were talking through the link. I sat in my spot, patiently waiting.
"I'll have to commute from the Citadel."
I shook my head. "The team can come here. The hospital is big enough- you've seen it- to have a private room set up just for you, for your visits." A glance at Garrus. "Are you planning on returning to C-Sec?"
He snorted. "No." Hesitation. "But I might join Shepard on more missions, if he'll have me."
"That would be fun for you." I smiled sweetly. "I'm sure he will. You've been on three life-changing missions with him. I doubt he'll turn you away now."
"Would Kolyat be able to visit?"
I turned my focus to Thane. "He would. If he wants, he can stay in the spare room in this suite, or we can have a room prepared just for him. We have certain people we do that for, for whenever they visit." My eyes went back to Garrus. "And the same for your family."
He shook his head. "Our family, sweet girl."
I blushed. "Right. Our family."
...
I looked up, going to find him. He was holding a book- it looked really old.
"Did you find something?" I asked him.
He nodded, holding it out for me.
I skimmed the page, before realizing what it said and taking my time reading the words.
Back before technology had really spread throughout the packs, long before the turians and humans clashed, there were stories of beings coming down from the sky. The descriptions were of different races- asari, salarian, turian. My heart was thundering as I read on. A few of them bonded with some of the wolves. Their unions were looked on as sacred, because the aliens were special beings, sent by the Goddess herself. The-
My eyes widened, and I blinked a few times to make sure I was seeing things correctly.
The children from these unions were looked upon as blessings. Miracles. One such coupling stayed behind in the pack, while all others left to be with their mates. The one that stayed- a female wolf and a turian- their bloodline led to the first queen taking power. She chose her mate, out of all others that were available to her. And every few generations, another female was born with the same ability. And one of the women in the lineage mated secretly with an alien. Another turian. Their coupling had introduced more alien genes into the line, their offspring possessing even sharper senses than all other wolves.
I clutched the book close to my chest, my eyes shut. Trying to digest what it meant.
I had alien blood in me. And I could reproduce with Garrus- at the very least- and have a werewolf child that could potentially have heightened senses.
The young drell wrapped an arm around my shoulders, and I smiled up at him, willing my tears not to fall.
"Thank you, for helping me with this."
"Of course." He nodded. "You didn't want to get their hopes up."
With a deep breath, I sent out a message. Where are you two?
What's wrong? Garrus asked instantly. You're upset.
It's fine. Where are you?
We just got back to our room from dinner. Which you weren't at.
I'll be up shortly.
I stopped by the hospital, one of the female doctors taking me into the room for the appointment I'd made after reading that page.
"You sure you want it out?" She asked, donning gloves.
I nodded. "Yes. I'm not in school anymore, and the more I've thought about it, the less appealing staying in the spotlight as a singer is. So there's no need to worry about those two things. And if I get pregnant while I'm working here, it's a simple matter of taking the time off for that, until the baby is old enough for the nursery."
Which was only a few months, really. They were very skilled at our nursery.
She removed the IUD- a request from me, so that I wouldn't run the risk of getting pregnant while at school, for whatever reason, and to help limit my periods. They hurt like a bitch sometimes.
When are you coming?
I'm on my way. I assured him.
I walked through the door, sniffing the air. We were alone. Immediately, I stripped bare, before walking into the living room.
"Hello." Garrus managed, both of them eye-fucking me.
"I want to celebrate." I purred, kneeling between them, my hands on their thighs.
"And what are we celebrating, little wolf?" Thane asked, amused.
"I read a really old book." I explained. "That said I have alien blood in me."
I waited for it to sink in.
"Like... asari?"
"No. They would be asari, in that case. These are wolves. Who mated with aliens. I have turian blood in me. A few times over. I'm not the only one in my line to mate with a turian, it seems."
They exchanged glances, sparks of hope blooming from both of them.
"Are you saying..."
"I'm saying..." I purred out, kissing up the turian's inner thigh. "We can have children."
"How haven't we done that already?" He asked hesitantly.
"I had an IUD put in place when I first left home for the Citadel. It helped with periods and such. I just had it taken out before I came here." I explained. "We'll have to wait to really try until after my hormones go back to normal, but..."
I undid his pants, freeing him. He was already free of his plating, just waiting for me. I wrapped my lips around him, moving my head in fast and sharp movements.
"Spirits." He hissed out.
Fingers tangled in my hair, guiding my pace. From the feel of them, it was Thane. He'd moved to stand behind me, leaning over to kiss Garrus deeply. They were both overwhelmed by the news.
Pulling me off the turian before I could make him finish, I was picked up over the drell's shoulder and carried off to the bedroom. Thrown onto the mattress. He climbed on top of me, pinning me in place, and speared me roughly. I cried out in pleasure, writhing under him. This was animalistic- dark and senseless. And I loved it. He was taking his pleasure from me, with no regard for mine or my comfort, and I yearned for it. Craved more of it.
Garrus crawled up beside my head, thrusting against the back of my throat.
By the next night, I wasn't sure if I could fit any more cum in my body. It didn't seem possible. And yet, they continued. Unrelenting. Every time I started to lose consciousness, I was slapped, brought back around by the stinging pain.
It only made me want more.
Four days. Three nights, four days. "Fucking like rabbits" really did apply to us.
I snoozed on Thane's lap, with him stroking my hair, and Garrus was gone. Seeing our family- his father and sister. Kolyat had joined them, as well. I really liked that everyone seemed to be getting along. Though, I knew Castis and Solana would have to leave soon- they had lives on Palaven they had to get back to. Things to rebuild.
"Thane." I murmured, glancing up at him sleepily.
"Yes, sweet girl?" He asked, pressed a kiss to my forehead.
"I hope we can have children, too." Soft. Hesitant.
I didn't know what he wanted, but I would love to have his child.
His arm tightened around me, his breathing stuttering. "I... I would like that."
"I guess it's a race to see who gets one first." I joked.
"Something we might actually fight on." He growled out, before shifting me to straddle him.
He undid his pants right before ripping my shorts apart, thrusting up into me. My eyes rolled back.
"Thane!" I cried out.
"That's right." He growled again. "Who's fucking you right now?"
"You! You are, Thane!" I moaned. "Oh, goddess, you are!"
Hours later, Garrus returned, letting out a growl at the sight of the drell holding me face down on the floor in the living area, fucking me hard from behind.
"You thought you could get one up on me?" He demanded, rushing into the room.
He picked me up, sitting under me with Thane behind, both of them filling me, stretching me wide. Full.
I could get used to this.
