{Gale Thunderhead, Mai}

Gale Thunderhead sat on the roof of her new home. It was early summer, and she felt uneasy. Her mate was inside with a fox and tiger. She had hoped she could join him. He didn’t understand her heart. She wanted to do everything she could to make sure he didn’t cast her aside too. So many had cast her aside already. Her own sisters selling her into slavery. Several masters, each one getting upset when she couldn’t sing for them. Would he cast her aside too. He did have other mates, but that was normal. She brushed her head with her wings and pruned her feathers in the cool night air. The winds were wrong, and she would have to wait for updrafts in the morning. At least her mate would let her fly. She had missed the open sky. That is one of the many things she liked about him. She wished he was beside her now petting her crest. She liked the way he smiled when it popped back up and the feeling of his hands on her was something she wanted and needed. Her eye moved to the open window. He had helped her build a nest once he saw her moving straw to the loft. Did he know that building a nest with her meant he wanted to have a clutch with her? She wouldn’t mind having his chicks, but she wanted to make sure that is what he wanted. He had given the fox a child and seemed to like the child. Would he like her chicks? Her mind went to the fox child. He was strong even though he was still so young. Would her own chicks be so strong? With a sigh she stood and walked to her nest. It was nice, warm and hers. She had not only her own room but got fed every day. Why would he feed her and not take her? Did he plan just to toss her aside? Her mind was like a rolling thunder head. Rolling between fear and something more. Something that felt like a summer evening updraft, the winds that would send her high into the sky. She was not the biggest harpy, not the strongest, not the most beautiful, and she couldn’t speak

or sing. With all these things why did he accept her? Why would he ever accept her? Dawn was starting to rise, and she still couldn’t sleep. The dew was forming, and she was wanting. Wanting what though? Her head tilted and she looked to where his nest was in the house. She wanted to make sure her place was secure. She needed to make sure he wouldn’t want to toss her out. Licking her lips, she stood and walked carefully to his nest. The fox and tiger were sleeping between him. He was on his back, and she smiled an idea coming to her, a very tasty idea.

There was a warm pleasant sensation that woke me up. Someone was moving around my dick licking it slowly. Did Lily sneak in to give me a morning surprise? No, I didn’t feel her buckteeth. That could only leave Midna or Mai. A tongue started licking the head and I lifted the cover ever so slowly to see green hair and bright blue eyes. She winked at me and moved to suck on the head softly. I tried to remain silent as she moved lower and lower. Mai oh Mai what a wonderful way to wake up. Hands moved over my chest and Yen licked my neck. I couldn’t help but let out a pleasant growl as Yen stared to writhe on me. My hand on Yen’s back slid down to her ass. She moaned softly and started grinding on my hip. Yen’s hand moved down my chest and I watched her pull the covers back to show Mai gasp as she ducked down taking me deep into her throat. Did she think Yen would be mad? I could have told her that was a useless fear. Yen started stroking the back of Mai’s head helping her bob up and down on me. I turned and kissed her softly. Claws dug into my shoulder, and I turned to see Uta awake and breathing hard. Her hands slid down to join Yen’s as she started grinding on my other hip. “Morning Darlin,” she said, softly in my ear. My other hand slipped to Uta’s ass and started kneading it. She moaned and bit my shoulder. Yen not to be outdone bit my right shoulder hard. At the same time, they forced Mai down onto me and I popped. I couldn’t help it. Much to my delight, Mai took every drop and pulled off slowly making sure not to waste any of my seed. I just lay there growling and panting. “Darling, you had your turn. Now it is our little bird’s turn.” The two got up and pulled a slightly worried Mai to where I had been lying on the bed. I just licked my lips and moved between her legs. Her eyes were wide and worried.

“Relax, I will be gentle,” I said, smiling. I kissed her thigh and slowly moved higher. She chirped and I looked up before pulling down her shorts to expose a down of green feathers over a human looking pussy. Yen and Uta had pulled up her top and had started playing with her breasts. Yen nodded to Uta and both women moved down to suck on each tiny happy nipple as I started kissing my own target. Mai could only gasp and chirp as we worked. My fingers dipped into her as my lips sucked on her clit. A strange sound filled the air. It was like a singing moan, but so very soft, like a spring braze before a storm. I looked up to see my other two lovers wrapped in those beautiful green wings. Mai was holding them to her breasts. Then I felt her strong legs lock me in place and pull me in close. With my nose deep in her snatch, I licked to my delight until she came. Her legs locked and she shuddered holding all three of us close. When she let us go, I got up to find her sleeping peacefully. I just nodded to the two girls, and we pulled the covers over her and made our way out without waking her. Once in the hallway, I turned to Yen. “Shall we continue this in the bath?” I asked with a coy smile. Yen licked my cheek and Uta grabbed my ass. I guess the early bird got my worm.

It was my first day back and I was ready to get things started. I hoped Mai would be okay in my bed. I know it wasn’t like her nest, but she just looked so happy sleeping there. Boss had bought the warehouse we used to hide my Dire Knight when I was developing it. This would be my workshop. He had placed an order for more metal while I worked to set everything up. Building my office, new training table, storage bins and so much more. The slaves had been sleeping in there for now, but everyone was working hard to make houses for all of them. The town had really come together to make them feel welcome and wanted. Boss took some, Bullock took most of the boars and the rest were spread throughout the town. The two bunnies ended up working at the inn. Innkeeper seemed happy to have them and Radish was enjoying his time at the inn. The three wolves made sure I was still being watched and Gorloth didn’t come out to join us for two days. He must be reconnecting with Orga. I would need to send them a food basket. The slave caravan was a few days out and I was looking forward to setting Uta, Yen and a few others free. Battery came to me near the end of the day.

“Master, I was wondering if I could talk to you in private for a little?” He asked. I wonder where this is going, another failed bomb? I pulled him into my office and sat at my desk, waving at the chair across from me. He sat nervously. “I want to buy Lechon from you.” I just tilted my head at him.

“And who is that?” I asked.

“My lover. The beautiful boar woman.” He said boldly. So, I’m not the only beast loving freak.

“Are you going to free her?” My voice was slightly cold. He took a deep breath before speaking.

“I love her. If she is free, she may leave me.” His eyes were on the edge of tears.

“Why not give her a reason to stay with you and then let her choose.” Battery looked up at me as I rested my chin on my fingers and looked down at him. He sighed and looked at the ground.

“I can’t lose her.” His voice sounded defeated.

“Then my answer is no. I will set her free.” He stood raising his fists.

“Fuck you. Fuck you. I will not lose her to you of all people.” I just sat there smiling. He raged and looked around the room wildly. I wasn’t sure what he was looking for. He stormed out of the room and slammed the door. Did he think I wanted his woman? Hell no, I had enough of my own for now.

Mai wasn’t sure what her mate had done to her, but she was happy. He had taken her and made her one of his. She had taken his seed and he had taken her with the other two watching and helping. He had only used his tongue, but it still felt amazing. She had woken in his bed and covered up. Once she had fixed her clothing, she had made her way to her room and walked out to the roof. The air was warm, and she stretched letting the sun fill her wings and heart. She jumped from the roof and flew to the nearest updraft riding the winds high. Her legs still shook, but she was happy and didn’t need them to fly. High over the city she moved out in slow circles. She was on the lookout for anything wrong. She saw one of her mates' friends. He looked upset and was sitting crying on a crate behind a store. He was her mate’s friend, so he needed help. She landed near him and hopped to him chirping. He dried his eyes and looked at her. “Go away.” She knew he didn’t really want her to go through. She just hopped closer tilting her head. “What? What do you want?” She just tilted her head at him and chirped. “You want me to tell you why I’m crying?” He asked anger filling his voice. She nodded smiling at him. “Not sure what you want, but I’m just pissed.” She nodded putting on a serious face. She looked around and saw a sign higher up that would be more comfortable on her talons. She hopped up to it flapping. He just watched her breathing hard. “I love Lechon.” She chirped and nodded smiling down at him. “If she is free, I may lose her.” He said with a sad look in his eyes. She understood this and just nodded at him a sad look in her eye. She liked belonging to her mate and didn’t want to be free. “See, you understand.” She tilted her head in thought. An idea came to her. She pointed at him and then pushed up her nose to make it look like a pig snout and then pointed to her throat. He frowned at her. “You think I should talk it out with her?” He asked. She nodded and chirped with joy. He lowered his head and looked at the ground. “What if she doesn’t want to stay with me?” She wasn’t sure how to answer him.

She thought for a long while and chirped down to the man. She brought up two fingers and licked them. Her Mate had made her feel so good and she loved it when her mate had done that so why couldn’t he do this to his mate? He just looked at her question clear on his face. She pointed to her own crotch and made a licking motion. He tilted his head at her and after a long moment his eyes went wide, and he blushed madly. “You want me to pleasure her with my mouth?” She hoped that was the thing her mate had done this morning, and she nodded. “What if I’m no good at it?” She pointed to where her mate was. “Ask master?” She nodded before she pointed at her own mouth and rubbed her belly making a happy face. “You want me to feed her?” She nodded happily. “It almost sounds like you want me to show her how much I care about her.” He said with one eyebrow raised. She nodded thinking that meant keep his mate happy. If a mate was happy, they normally wouldn’t leave or cast, you out or at least that is what she thought. He just looked at her blankly. “Not sure why you care.” She put her hand to her heart and then to her head. “You think that the heart is worth the effort?” Not sure what he was talking about, but it sounded nice, so she nodded. He put his hand on his chin stroking his fur. She chirped and he looked up at her. She poked the sides of her mouth and dragged them up into a smile. “You want to know if I’m going to be, okay?” She just wanted to make a silly face hoping to make him feel better. Hanging on with her talons, she swung upside down hanging upside to look at the heavy human. He laughed and smiled up at her. “You are right. Master was right. Thank you, so much young miss, for coming to talk to me.” He waved at her and left. He seemed happy and she flipped down, landing on her feet. Today was a fun day. She got to have seed, be pleased by her mate and help one of her mate’s friends. She liked it here. With a smile on her face, she started climbing one of the buildings so she could fly off to find another thermal. The sky was calling her.

I had called Rosewood and the others in. “This is going to sound weird, but I need to know how your neck works.” I said to the attractive wolf woman. Redwood growled at me. “Settle down. I don’t mean anything sexual by it. I am wondering how you are able to run on all fours. The human neck doesn’t work like your neck does.” I had done some research on it. The human spine sits directly under the skull. The wolf and other quadruped animals connect at the back. I needed to understand how their spines worked so I could recreate it in my werewolf Knight. Boss had called it a wargen. Warden sounded better to me, a Warden Knight. I quickly wrote that down while the others looked at me. “Do I have your permission to touch you?” I asked, getting back on track. Redwood stepped closer and watched me.

“Where would you want to touch her?” He asked warning in his voice.

“Anywhere is fine. I should be able to look through her body and see the bones and how they work.” All three looked at me closely. Did I say something weird? Redwood took off his shirt and got down into a running pose. Not what I asked for, but it should work. I put my hand on his shoulder. First, I looked for a core, nope, no core. Next, I looked at his spine. The spine was mostly normal. It was connecting to the back. “Good and stand.” I kept my hand there and watched closely watching the spine slide along the skull to sit under it. It was so interesting. “Both again.” I watched it closely. The hips shifted to allow the legs to run under the body. I pulled away and started sketching madly. They just stood there watching me as I walked away drawing everything I had seen. To be honest, I had forgotten they were in the room. I didn’t care though. I went to my office and started working on a model of his skull and spine. It was amazing to watch it flex from standing to running. There was a slight hinge in the joint that humans don’t have. I wasn’t sure anyone had it. Humans can look up, but it strains the spine and neck. I just watched it shift in my model as I played with it. The mana wire would have to slide up the edge of the spine and I would have to run a silver steel line to the back to let the eyes see and mouth work. The mouth on my Dire Knight was an amazing weapon that this monster needed. I heard a sound at the door and looked up to see Redwood.

“Master?” His eyes were glued to my model of his own spine. “You really looked inside me and saw that?” I just nodded and kept playing with it.

“Yes.” I was watching the way his spine bent slightly as it shifted places. He reached out to touch my model and I pulled back. He wanted to break it. With a slight growl, I looked up at him. Redwood jumped back startled, fear lighting his face.

“You, okay?” he asked worried. I need to calm down. Yes, this was a new toy, but even if he broke it, I could easily fix it. With my new core doing magic was easy.

“Yes, hyper focusing can be unsettling to others.” I said moving the model again. Redwood nodded.

“Like seeing a fat fast rat,” he said, with a nod. I suppose that would be a thing to him. Maybe I would have to introduce this world to the Frisbee. I wonder if these wolves would love it. It would have to be made out of wood as metal would be too heavy and dangerous for them. Something to ask woodcutter about. I made a quick note. Redwood was reaching for the model of his own spine, and I nodded when he noticed me looking. “How did you see into me?” He asked.

“I used the metal in your own blood, minerals in your bones and so on.”

“What kind of god skill is that?” His eyes were wide as he moved the spine and skull around.

“Metal sense. Say is there a way to know what skills one has?” I had forgotten to ask Lily about that. Redwood just nodded at me beaming.

“Most priests will do that.”

“Good to know. Is there one in this town?” He tilted his head to the side looking at me before saying.

“Yes, you have lived here for how long and never knew?”

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I don’t like most humans.” At my words he smiled and nodded. “On that note, have you been eating the fruit?”

“Were we not supposed to?” He looked away like a dog who had gotten into the treat bag, his long tail hanging low and ears back.

“I just thought you may want to unlock your mana channels the easy way.” His ears suddenly went up and his eyes flew to me.

“I just thought it was tasty. You mean to tell me just by eating that fruit I could have magic too?”

“I don’t know how it works, but Gen has his channels open, and he uses magic to train.”

“About that Master,” He asked sheepishly.

“I’m not your master.” I growled back at him.

“I know, but even though you growl, you give off a scent that says you aren’t really upset by it. Ummm,” he took a deep breath. “I kind of ummm,” he was looking around the model in his hands. “May have, put a litter in Ash and Rosewood.” He let out the last part low and as fast as he could. I stood and he jumped back holding up the model to block me. Not sure why he did that I wasn't upset, if anything I was happy for him.

“That’s great, congratulations.” My smile felt weird though. Not my normal scary one, but one that felt normal. Like finishing a new doll or Knight. He peeked over the model and watched me closely.

“I was scared you’d be upset.”

“Why would I be upset?”

“A slave knocking up another is often a burden on the master.” I just shook my head at him. “I should have known better though, I mean Gorloth knocked up Orga and you seem okay with them.” My jaw hit the floor. Orga has a bun in the oven? Why didn't anyone tell me?
