CHAPTER SIX: AND SO IT BEGINS
----------------------------------------
Alexia hugs Rebecca and breaks the awkward silence. "Okay, so now that lunch is over and everyone is fed let's begin..." Cleaned plates are put down as the Pareya are done cleaning up the temporary kitchen.
Leonard gets up and motions to one of the Gheyos. "Let us finish -." He abruptly stops when a young brown-skinned dragel comes running over to shake my hand.
"Hi! I introduced myself at lunch, but my name is Odeta Liske, I'm a Nameless Dragel, carrier rank and I'm pleased to meet you." She quickly curtsies to me. "Oh! I'm 19! and am totally willing to carry as many children as I can. At least once I hit 22 and Aunty Demeter tells me I can. Um, she's a Pareya Sephracle so she'll want to make sure I can bear children without problems. I'll contact her later today." She lets go of my hand and quickly says, "Ah, and can we please get a pool? I was told I can't swim in the ocean. Also, where do you want your bite?" She twirls a blond strand of hair around a finger waiting for my response.
I start to giggle as I respond. "Well, we'll see later about children as we still haven't sealed any bonds. As for a pool," I look at Marian, "I'm sure I can convince Marian to build us some type of indoor conservatory for a pool. And for a bite? Well, wherever it fits." Odeta quickly bites me on the center of my collarbone after I have bitten her neck and dances off to look at nearby plants.
A pale white dragel comes up next with a "Well, this will certainly be an interesting circle for sure. My name is Vanessa Bruins, Vinny in my other form. Nameless Companion, Runemistress, and part owner of Three Skeins Socks. I knit clothing, blankets, and various odds and ends; because of my rune mastery, I am able to incorporate runes into what I knit." She bites me first on the outside of my left shoulder joint and then bites me a second time on the inside of the joint to make an overlapping circle. "I hope an overlapping circle is fine for bites, I saw a Kadel use it once on his bonded and always wanted to have someone with it."
I nod and acknowledge her by saying, "Yes it's fine!" I adjust my shoulder around for everyone to see. "I'm honestly fine with all of our Changlings to mark like that."
"I introduced myself to you earlier at lunch, my Princess, but my name is Marian Poole." He tugs his light blue hair out of his vivid cerulean eyes. "I am a Storm Mage with a rune mastery. My job is to ward King Alcandor's private and royal housing. I was actually given this property because I interrupted a kidnapping attempt on Queen Killigan early last year." He bites me halfway between my right shoulder and right collarbone.
A tall almond-skinned male dragel comes over and bows at me. "My greetings, princess. My name is Fabian Vollmer, and Fabienne in my other form. I am an Air Advisor." He flutters his phthalo green eyes as he continues, "I watched everyone during lunch and I do believe this is almost a political/royal circle, especially given that you are a Royal Water Princess. We currently have twelve Gheyos, soon to add at least three more” He says before muttering “If not more if I can recognize a fussy royal uncle.” Leonard clears his throat before Fabiran speaks again. “Along with the three Merrow that King Alcandor is suggesting we pick up, I would find five Gheyo Jokers. One each for the Alpha, Beta, and Rheyo as a personal guard, but also one or two that specifically guard the nursery and crèche to make sure no further kidnapping happens with our future children. Have the two guarding the children swear to a different ACE." He shuffles in place to think before going on. "We also happen to have six pareya. I would heavily suggest shifting that to twenty as well to have it uniquely balanced." He breathes in for a second before he goes on. "I would also heavily recommend getting at least two or three more advisors. With a circle this size, I will need help with everything needing to be done. That is all I can think of for now." He bows again before gesturing if he can bite my right hand. I allow it. He bites on the top with one form and the bottom with the other. Both bites are in the middle of the hand.
A lilac-colored Merrow flutters over next and says "Hello princess! My name is Shanaya Kalzik and I am a Storm Healer. I worked at my parent's clinic in the Merrow waters with my twin sister, but I would like to set up a private family clinic here, as we have quite a few number of people in our circle. I would also like to try to find two medics and maybe even another healer. If we are really to be a political circle, we shall need it." She bites me on the top of my left bicep.
"Hello Alexia, my name is Faidon Zotos." A tanned dragel comes up next. "I am a Nameless Gheyo Ace. I usually work with guarding families with my uncle's military circle, but I guess I will have to tell them that I must end that." He bites me on the inside of my right elbow.
A tanned, blue-eyed man comes up next. "Hello, princess. My name is Lucas Mayr. I am a Water and Fire Were-Snow Leopard, Gheyo King. My job was to guard the Storm areas along the ocean via the beaches." He bites me on the left side of my collarbone.
"Hello! My name is Evelyn Davison and I am a Shadow Gheyo Queen. I am also a Halfling Were-Tiger. My job was to guard the Shadow homes and businesses." She bites me on the lower side of my left bicep.
A pale white dragel comes to me next. "My name is Carmo Carvalho and Carmael in my other form. I am a Fire and Air Gheyo Prince. My job was patrolling the Dive to make sure there are no problems with any flying Dragels trying to show off and fail." He bites my right wrist on the top with one form and the underside with his other form.
The last dragel to be introduced comes over. "My name is Elvira Cazzaniga and I am an Earth & Water Gheyo Princess. My job was guarding the Earth houses." She bites me on my left bicep.
Leonard stands back up and claps his hands. "Alright, now that all the introductions are done, we need to move on to something just as important: how we want the house to look and where we are staying until it's done. Now, Gerhard's bearer's side does building, so please get in contact with them. Until we get something approved and built, which hopefully won't take more than a few months, we will have to sleep in either tents or in the Merrow building in the ocean. I know at least five of you will be sleeping down there. Did you want to sleep there in the water with the entire circle joining, Alexia?"
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
I shake my head no. "I'd rather be with as many people as I can above water. I've slept in tents before, and am willing to do so again."
"Great! So, someone needs to buy enough tents for all of us, and if we can get a giant tent for whoever wants to sleep with the full resting group, we can do that. I assume you can ward the tents to make sure nothing bad happens while we are in them?" He asks Marian who nods in acceptance. "Even better. Why don't Fabian, Nicolae, Phillip, Loreta, Ferran, and Vanessa go buy what is necessary to house 30-40 people while the Gheyos can sort themselves out in the lower basements... the lower basements have soundproofing correct Marian?"
Marian says, "Yes, the lower basements are soundproofed from the upstairs for the Gheyos and there are some basic gym mats and a small bathroom down there. In addition, on the main floor, there is already a small bedroom with a king-sized bed that has been enlarged along with a small bathroom. That room is also soundproofed."
"Perfect," says Leonard. He continues with, "Okay, so Alexia, Noel, Gerhard, and I will be busy for the next few hours. Tânia, Monika, and Gaspar should probably stick around in the house. Anyone else is free to go and tell their families what has happened. I will send for bank and circle trinkets tonight after Alexia and I approve a pattern. That is all, now shoo!"
----------------------------------------
The four of us go into the house where the resting room is. "It is okay, Alexia, but I do believe that I would like to get the Alpha-Beta-Rheyo-Submissive bonds in place before tonight. Please tell me if you disagree with this."
"No, it's fine." I say and continue with, "But let's start in the bathroom to relax and clean ourselves of the battle that happened earlier.” I strip in sight of my new mates and shut the door as I walk into the bathroom to start the shower. I hear murmuring in the other room and after a minute, I hear a knock on the bathroom door and only Leonard comes in.
Leonard strips himself naked before murmuring to me. ”I thought it would be easier with just the two of us for bonding together.” He ushers me into the shower stall and I just stare at him, but he turns me around.
"Let me give you a quick massage before we get cleaned. I told the two of them to join the other three in the rest of the house until we are done. It'll be easier to bond without them here." He brings out shower gel and gives me a back massage until I fully relax. Eventually, he then spins me around and kisses me straight on the lips. "Are you ready for me, princess?" He asks me while stroking my stomach. I bite my lip and nod. He turns the shower off and wraps a towel around me as well as tossing another one on himself. He walks out of the bedroom, lays me down on the bed, and then dries me off.
"Touch me," I say eagerly. I pull his wrist down to my breasts as the other is caressing my cheek. "I'm not a china doll, the school system in my state had a pretty decent sex educat -." He kisses me to make me silent. His hand lowers even more and slightly enters me. Leonard starts kissing down my stomach and continues until he hits the jackpot. He tries to go further down from my clitoris, but I stop him. "There!" I gasp, "Continue there!" He continues.
He continues for a few minutes while a climax starts building. Right before it hits, he gets up and wipes his mouth. "Don't want you to finish quite yet." He quietly laughs at my upset face. "There will be a pinch, but let me know to stop if it's more than that." He begins to push in and I make a noise as it begins to hurt.
"Stop!" I whine as the pain continues to burn.
He pauses and starts playing with me again. "Shh, it's okay." He soothes me. "The pain will soon be over. Let me know when I can continue." Thankfully, the pain is quickly over, and then something bends within. The bond between us snaps into place with a solid crack. I gasp loudly and kiss Leonard.
I begin to touch him as my climax waves over me. I shiver and bite his neck as I feel him ejaculate inside of me. I finally begin to relax for the first time since my own kidnapping when I was four. I caress the bite with my nose. "I want to have Tânia, Gaspar, and Monika bond me with after Noel and Gerhard do. I think it'll finally make me relax. I think we also need to get a Merrow Changling."
"A Merrow Changling? Why?" Leonard asks as he sits up to spin my necklace strand with his hair. He soon gasps as I change form.
I hiss at him while he stares at me with his jaw dropped, "This is serious! If my uncle knew that I was a Changling, much less a Merrow Changling, he never would've let me out to the surface. We need a Merrow Changling that looks like me in this form to not draw attention to me! They would preferably like the female form so that my uncle never sees us as males together.." I close my eyes and turn away from him.
Leonard finally closes his jaw, sits up, and cups my chin while bringing my face close to his before making eye contact with me. "I love you in either form. We will protect you from this threat, don't worry my Princess. Just make sure to never mention yourself as being a Changling, and we will protect you." He closes and then kisses my closed eyes. "Now, what scale do you want from me?" He brings out his wings for me to peruse.
I open my eyes and gasp at his olive and blue scales. 'Hm, which one do I like the most?' I trail my fingers down his left wing and stop on the scale that makes him twitch and whine. "This one!" I tap. I pry it off his wings as he whines again. "Which one do you want from this form?" I ask him. "I would've offered you ones that I chose earlier this year to bring to the hunt, but -" He presses a finger against my lips.
"It is fine princess, I will find the perfect ones." He finds a pale blue scale with hints of iridescent lilac. "This scale right here." He taps. He gouges it out and puts it away in his clothing. "I still want a scale from your other self though. Many probably will."
I quickly change back to my preferred form and show him my favorite scale. "This one, my Alpha! This one is my favorite unshed scale. But no one but you shall get a scale from Alexian." I quickly gouge out the scale and hand it to him. It is a white and peach scale with the tip being iridescent teal. "This is the only scale that hints of, well, who I call Alexian." I put his olive scale on the necklace. "I might need a bracelet as well." I laugh.
"Ha!" Leonard laughs. "Maybe a matching set of bracelets?" He strokes me from my chin to my flank. "Now my Submissive, let us go make our Beta and Rheyo ours."
"Wait.” I say before grasping his hand without letting it go. “I want to tell you about my family circle so you can spread it around while I’m otherwise...occupied.” I sigh and close my eyes to prevent the tears from falling. “First off, is Grandma Molly Yates...”
