This one is a bit weird.

Delta surely has all signs to become a good dom, bu-u-ut… Because of her innate instincts she will probably just cover moments later even if Cid himself allows that.

She has a long way to go to overcome that fear of hers, but once she does… oh boy.

"Bossma-a-an!"

Oh, don't mind it, it's just wild Delta running through the door (poor Gamma; how much times a day she asks for a replacement?) and jumping right on him.

He felt her strong hands locking on his neck as she rubbed her nose into his collarbone, her tail wagging intensely.

"Hello, Delta," he nodded at her happy face and took another bite from the tomato (thanks, Gamma: leaving a bit of food in fridge was very thoughtful of you).

Delta squinted and sniffed all over him.

"Bossman, you smell like Lady, Stalker, and Clumtz!" she pointed at him accusatory.

"Yeah, obviously, I spent time with them, after all," he agreed.

'Though, Stalker? Really? I never saw Beta being a stalker…'

"Bo-o-o…" she pouted, "That's it! Delta wanna cover you in my smell, too!"

"Sure, that's your time, after all."

Delta froze for a moment, seemingly in thought.

"Hey, Boss," she started, "ya mean Delta can ask anything?"

"Almost anything," he corrected her, gently scratching her ears.

"He-he-he…" her ears twitched in response, "You will even let Delta be the stronger one?!"

"For these three hours, yes," he shrugged. He already let Alpha and Gamma do it, after all. Though… Gamma was kinda in another direction but eh.

"Hmm…" Delta went even deeper in thought as she enjoyed his pets.

Cid waited for her response.

"Delta decided!" she beamed and jumped off of him, "Boss, let's go!"

"Oh, what do you want to do?" he inquired, dusting himself off and standing up.

"Duh, that's obvious!" Delta grinned smugly with hands on her hips, "We are going to my lair!"

'U-u-u…'

Gamma the Clumtz was right! Bossman really seems absolutely different when not in his costume! In fact, if not for his smell, Delta wouldn't even be able to tell that weak humie is her Boss!

"Hmm…" Bossman looked around, "I can tell that you were not the one who decorated the room, right?" he blinked at her with these prey's eyes of his!

Yes, prey! Now he looked like he was a cute little prey that she, big and strong hunter, cornered! E-he-he…

"Delta, you're salivating," Boss' melancholic voice shook her off her thoughts.

"Ah, uhm…" she stood, frozen, trying to think of answer.

"That's fine, you're not the first to be like this…" he sighed (her gaze got locked onto his neck's artery), "I still don't get why you all act like this, though…"

"Oh, Delta knows! Stalker said it was something like, ugh… 'Mo gap?' Delta doesn't know what's that and why it's a gap, but she heard it!" she nodded proudly at her knowledge.

"Gap moe," of course, her Boss immediately realized what she meant!

"Yes, yes, that one!… Ugh, what does that mean, though?" she immediately asked her Boss; he knows everything, after all.

"It's when you look at something incredibly cute or beautiful and still know that this thing can kill you in a matter of seconds, or the other way around… Oh, like you, Delta," he nodded at her.

"Hmm…" she thought hard, "Wait, Bossman, you are this gap muh, too!"

"How so?" he was taken aback? Why?

"Well, Delta knows that you're very strong, right?!" he nodded at her in agreement, "But right now you look absolutely cute and vulnerable! Delta actually wants to jump on you and prove her might over you!"

"Huh? Weird, I actually went for absolutely unassuming look…" Boss rubbed his chin (cute!), "Does it really look that good?…"

"Yuh-uh!" Delta nodded fervently, "Even Clumtz and Lady said that you look absolutely charming and they wanted to show their love more-!" she stopped and sent a pleading look, "Uh, they also said Delta shouldn't tell you that…" her gaze went sideways.

He chuckled warmly.

"Alright, let's pretend I didn't hear that," wow, he scratched her ears once again!

"E-he-he… Alright, Bossman! You said you will do anything, right?!"

"Almost anything."

"Eh, that means we can make babies!" Delta jumped in joy.

"Do you want to get it before Alpha?" Boss tilted his head.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?!"

"Huh."

"Huh…"

"Huh…"

"Huh-uh!"

"Huh-ah."

"Huh- Boss, but Delta can smell Lady's scent on you!" Delta finally found out how to speak again, please don't judge her.

"Yeah, that's because she hugged, and kissed, and…" Boss shuddered, "Well, she did everything, except for the deed itself."

"We-e-eird…" Delta's honest opinion, "But that means I don't get to have babies with you until Lady gets enough courage…"

"It's fine, Delta," he smiled again, "We have all the time. Now, anything else you want to do?"

"Hmm… Oh, yeah, you say Alpha did all of that stuff on you while being the strong one, right?!" he nodded in response, "Delta wants to try that, too!"

She eagerly anticipated his answer. Like, where can you find a pack leader that would willingly give up their place?!

"Sure, I guess?" he shrugged.

In response, Delta immediately pounced on him and dragged to her bed.

He-he, Delta's prey… She can see Boss surprised blinking, how his form got messy, she can see the way his throat moves…

She salivated once more. Her predator's instinct slowly kicked in, pushing her to do it, to show her strength, to establish domination!

Delta couldn't resist the temptation as her mouth immediately went for the throat, her jaws opening up in anticipation… Only to immediately stop as she remembered that it wasn't just another prey; it was her loving and loved Bossman!

So instead she slowly started licking his exposed throat (who even leaves that?! Any good hunter will immediately target it!), feeling him shiver under her. Her instincts once more screamed at her that she needs to finish playing with her prey already, but Delta is smart! Delta is in-tel-li-gent! So she won't listen this time!

"Pfft…" she heard Bossman's muffled laugh.

Delta just realized something.

She felt the dormant magic inside his body. Even now, being absolutely passive, it still put a weight on her body as she froze at her place.

"Delta?"

"Um, Bossman… You're not angry, are you?" she raised hopeful look.

"Huh?… Oh, ha-ha," he chuckled, "Come on, Delta, I allowed you that, of course I am not angry."

"Uh?" she blinked, "Then what was that laugh?"

"Oh…" his cheeks unexpectedly reddened (so! cute!) "You tongue was tickling me way too much, that's all."

"So, Delta can continue?!"

"Go on."

Yippie!

Delta continued licking his yummy-yummy throat, her tail wagging in joy. Then her tail stopped. Not because she wanted it, but because Bossman took it with his hand and started scratching it! Awoo!

Delta remembered Lady saying that his lips are one of the tastiest things in existence… Ugh, what was the way to do that, again… Oh, right!

Dog-kin raised her head and placed her lips on his own. Yeah, taste is good, but they said it was to be done somehow differently… Maybe move around a bit? Oh, yeah, that works!

Delta slightly opened her mouth, trying to taste his lips with her tongue… Which actually worked! His lips are so tasty-tasty-tasty-tasty…

She felt a hand on her head, urging her to continue. Delta happily obliged, licking his lips and cheeks and nose and… Ugh, the whole face, alright! His whole face tasted great!

Boss continued scratching her ears (focus, Delta, you need to continue asserting your dominance!) with loving look on his face (Clumtz, you were right! This is way too cute! And good!) as she completely lay down on his body.

Delta growled in pleasure as his fingers ran across her vertebras. If it was anyone else, she would surely bite their hands (and heads) off, but her loving loved Boss who was now looking like a cute little rabbit?! He-he!…

Hold up, Lady also said about pushing your tongue into his mouth… Uh, would it really make it better?

Delta tried to push her tongue through his lips, only to be met with his incredulous gaze. Delta doesn't know how it's done, alright?!

Fortunately, Boss only sent her amused look as he parted his lips, allowing her tongue to enter without restrictions. She gleefully went in, only to receive the overwhelming barrage of new experiences. She could feel his tongue slowly raising and meeting her own, entering a fight of domination.

Of course, Delta won't back down! She immediately twisted her muscle to take his own like a snake, but Boss wasn't so simple! He immediately fought back by pushing right through her tongue, right into her mouth!

Delta felt a foreign flesh exploring her cavity, seemingly not scared of her sharp teeth posing a threat to it. The audacity! She knows that Bossman is strong, but today she's stronger!

Or maybe he gives Delta a challenge?!

That may be it! She heard other pack members saying that he always gives them challenges to prove their worth, maybe that's one for her?!

If so, then Delta won't lose!

She immediately pushed her own tongue further, forcing a moan from him. He-he, Bossman, you may be strong, but you're a human! Beast-men (and women) are, how you say, built different! Built for survival! For domination!

He-he-he, give up, Boss! Delta has the high ground!

She saw his unyielding look. She practically heard him shouting "You underestimate my power!", hmph, don't try it!

Wait, hold up, did Boss actually-?!

Delta felt his tongue actually coming further. How?! Bossman, humans don't have that much power in their bodies- Oh, Bossman has. Of course, he's the strongest, so it's obvious that he is strong.

Bossman is strongest because he's the strongest… Wait, is he the strongest because he's the Bossman or is he the Bossman because he's the strongest?

Ugh… Nah, Delta'd win!

Delta made one last thing she could: taking Boss' head into her hands and scratching it with her claws (real ones, not slime). Even then, he seemingly just felt pleasure at her actions! Bo-o-o! How is she supposed to dominate him when he's strong?! Not fair, not fair!

She felt his tongue slowly leaving her mouth. After a moment of thought, Delta did the same and stared at Boss with a pout.

"Bossman, it was supposed to be me dominating you!"

"Yeah, sorry, but I did the same with Alpha and Gamma, and they managed to do that," he shrugged.

"Ugh-" Delta went still.

Even the Clumtz managed to dominate Bossman? Yet Delta didn't?!

Is it possible to learn this power?!

"It's fine, Delta," she felt him scratching her ears as he gently caressed her back, "Just because you didn't manage to dominate me doesn't mean you can't relax yourself and allow me to pet you."

"Hmm, yep! Boss is right!" she beamed and pressed her generous chest (she can feed many children with this!) into his own.

And so Delta spent the rest of the time just lying down on the Bossman and enjoying headpats, ear-scratches, and tail petting!

It was good!

'Yeah, everything pretty much went as I thought. Delta, being from a tribe that worships power, simply couldn't overcome her instincts and attack — well, attempt at domination goes as attack for them, — a resting pack leader. Shame, of course, I wanted to get her out of that shell… But I have plenty of opportunities in the future.'

For now, Cid was getting a meal and thinking about the last three Shades.

Epsilon… It was long overdue to finally give her a desired body.

Zeta… Hmm, if she's anything like Delta in that regard, he already knows what to do… even though she's a cat and not a dog.

Eta… well, that one is gonna be hard…

And of course, group time with all of them.

Eh, he will manage.

Though when Delta said everyone thinks his mob disguise looks cute, he surely didn't know what to say…

As you can see, Cid is playing a bit here: he tries to understand what, exactly, Shades like the most, so he can give it to them.

Gamma, for example, wants to play the role of big sis/mother, so he gives her that (he then actually falls asleep but eh); Beta, on the other hand, wants to be treated like a princess, so he plays the role of knight.

Here he tried to fulfill Delta's wish, but her instincts stop her, so he instead opted for cuddle playtime.
