Hey guys and here's the third chapter of this story, this will be the final chapter until I can get an active beta reader so I'll leave you on a cliffhanger (LOL). Enjoy!
"WERE IS THE BUGGERING SHEILA YOU BASTARD!?"
Jack was shocked by the forcefulness in his tone, one of a buck commanding for his doe. The pure, raw instinct of his other form to obey a commanding buck started to draw out the doe that was residing within himself. The buck's facial features soften and twisted with confusion as he transformed in front of his eyes into the last doe of his race.
"Wha-", Aster looked at the doe dumbfounded as he saw her- him submit to him by exposing his neck and tilting his head downward, effectively following the command of the possible mate. His primal instincts taking over his reasoning abilities as he leaned his face downward and lightly nibbled and licked at the exposed neck of the willing doe before him drawing slight moans out. Jack leaned more into him as Aster did the same, the now female pookan letting the other start to mark him by rubbing their furs together as Aster's hands went from the wall to the Doe's body as they traveled lower. Jack, realizing what was happening, pushed the pooka away with more force than was meant as he transformed back noticing that the blade had fell away at some point in time. He tried controlling his breath as he watched Bunny get up off his ass and quickly sobering as he understood what had happened.
"Jack-" was all Aster managed to get out as jack shattered the thick ice wall behind him and slipped out and onto the wind as he heard him hit the sound barrier shattering it so forcefully it causing a shockwave that shook the very foundation of the palace he stood in. As the palace stilled with Jack long gone from sight his three kids ran in so fast even the elder spirit couldn't stop them. Abe and Nick jumped and held him down while Equane gave him a quite solid punch in the nose causing his ears to ring and his vision to blur.
"What the fuck did you do to our Father?" Equane asked in a noticeably silent but dangerous tone. After Aster only responded with a guilty look on his face Equane raised his voice to a level of that put Aster's to shame. While holding a Icy claw to his artery he repeated, "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU. DO. TO. OUR. FATHER!" So Aster hesitantly told them the story, purposefully leaving out the submission and neck smothering plus groping. As he saw the brother's relax as he continued so did he, though when he talked about the transition of forms the two younger brothers called bullshit while the eldest sat there with a knowing look. Once Abe and Nick didn't hear their brother call the rabbit's bluff they turned to him and saw his face, both pausing then immediately after launch volley after volley of questions at him.
"What's with the no-response E?"
"Yea, tell us what's going on."
"E? What are you not telling us?"
"E?"
"E?"
Aster smirked, seeing the rising annoyance on the snow leopard's face. Equane touched the ground with one hooked claw sending a pulse of frost outward, amazing the Pooka with sheer force of it with such little effort. Both brothers were immediately silenced by the move their brother had made.
"Now, I'm going to only explain this once because I'm directly going against Father's wishes by telling you this." He said calmly though you could clearly see that he was feeling distraught from the direct disobedience he was showing.
"Our Father, Jack Frost, struck a deal with Seraphina, Mother Nature to be able to create us and to have an infinite well of power that's only to be used on us," Equane shakily said. Aster, knowing that the woman's deals were as if you were speaking to the devil yourself, grew worried while the other brothers sat there oblivious. After another shaky breath he continued, "His end was that if he didn't have some form of biological children of his own he would come to know a pain that would double each year, on the same day each year, until... until..." he paused, his breath hitching, "until he dies... She said he had 10 years." the leopard starting to cry, muttering under his breath about how winter spirits were notoriously infertile. Since Abe and Nick looked as if they had been hit by a truck, Aster stood moving toward them and drew all three of them into an embrace, but that wasn't all, "As soon as he told me I went to her and asked for a winnable outcome, and she told me that she will grant Jack the form of a Pooka, but form him to have children it would have to be through an act of true love. Then I learned you were the only other Pooka and I learned of my mistake. But Jack stayed as cheerful as ever and thanking me for trying, I asked him what he was going to do about the deal and he responded by saying that unless you," now directing his attention to the pooka," came to him of your own volition he would live until his end of the deal was upheld."
The only word Aster could muster was a simple "When?"
The answer received shook him to his core,
"A Month" Was the final response as Jack stepped back into the room.
