Happy reading!!

			      The Last Feres
				Chapter 10

At the dinner table later that evening Charlie had something to say.

`Riley, Wren. Eric and I had a long conversation about our talk
earlier. And we've made some important decisions.' Charlie looked at Eric
and they exchange a tender look. `Rye, first thing tomorrow morning you
quit your job at the bookstore.'

I love working at the store! `Why?'

`It's because of the second point; you're going to need the extra time to
master some of your active powers. As you have heard in our previous
conversation two factions are after you and you must be ready to defend
yourself if we fail to do our duty in protecting you.'

Sally. I'm going to miss her.

`Thirdly, we've talked to Linda and she agreed for Nick to be part of your
protection detail, so he'll be moving in tomorrow as well.'

Nick was coming to live with us! This would be fun. Wren wasn't happy with
that one though.

`Where's he going to sleep?'

`Eric and I will be turning the study back into a bedroom by this time
tomorrow.  And lastly, we're going to do all we can to find Alex and his
dad. Due to the recent events we believe that Alex kidnapping is somewhat
tied to our situation. The police had no leads, they've reach a dead end.

`I never told you this but Eric picked up two distinct Darkling scents in
the Parishes home this morning. One could be the warg that wounded Wren and
something else he couldn't identify.'

I knew it. I knew it. Well, sort of.

`How are you going to find him?'

`The Faraday witches had agreed to cast a locator spell. It's a complicated
spell and it will take some time depending on how well his captors had
concealed him.'

`When are they casting the spell?' I wanted to be there when they do
because I want Alex found as fast as possible.

`They've invited us for dinner tomorrow right. Probably after because we
need to bring certain items that belongs to them for the spell to be
effective.'


Charlie and Eric weren't shy about their closeness around me anymore. I
caught them snuggling in the den when I was looking for Wren during the
night. I woke up alone in bed and couldn't go back to sleep.

`He's on guard duty outside.' Eric had said before I left them to their
business.

I didn't go outside to meet with him because I didn't want to distract
him. Instead I went on facebook to catch up on the latest gossip. After
sending a few replies to my online friends I checked Alex's photo albums. I
clicked the one labeled "my Girlfriend and I" and browsed through. He had
posted quite a few photos of the blonde Christine. She was pretty and quite
camera-friendly too.

Then I saw one picture where she was holding one of Alex's goofy faces. The
picture was well taken but the thing that caught my eye was the wrist
tattoo she had. It resembled the "chipper" glyph on Wren's wrist only her
intricately designed x overlapped the perfect circular arrow.

`She's a Targ.' I murmured, taken aback by the discovery.  Still I wasn't
too sure. So I copy paste the photo in Photoshop and blew up the
tattoo. Then I printed out a copy of both the normal photo with her face in
it and the blown up one. I'll run it by Wren later for confirmation.

I changed my mind after that.

<Wren bedroom now> I whispered.

In next to no time I heard doggy steps running in the hall and Wren-wolf
entered the bedroom. Immediately he shifted and stood in front of me
looking concerned.

`What is it? Is something wrong?'

`No. nothing like that,' I said composedly. `Just have something for you to
check out for me.' I said handing over the pictures I printed.

Silently he studied them.

`The girl in the picture is Christine, Alex's girlfriend.' he didn't say
anything but the worried look on his face speak volume.

`Call Charlie... now,' he said.

<Char come to me> I sent.

`The tattoo on her wrist is it what I think it is?'

`Yes. It's a glyph alright. She's a wencher.'

A worried Charlie appeared in front of my bedroom door followed by an
equally worried Eric. They both wore bathrobes and by the looks of things I
must have interrupted something intimate.

`What is it Rye?'

`Char take a look at these. Rye found them on the compute thing. I fear
that Alex might be in real danger.'

Charlie took the photos from Wren and studied them in turns. Eric strained
over his shoulder to have a look too.

`You're right. She's a Targ alright.' Charlie said handing over the photos
to Eric who studied them further.

`Now it's confirmed. Alex had been kidnapped by one of the factions after
you.'

`Why Alex? I mean he isn't a Targ and he doesn't have powers.'

Charlie's mechanical brain started churning again. By now I was use to him
in this state. In a way it calmed me down a bit because I know he was
thinking of a way to help Alex. Wren moved next to me and gave me a half
hug.

`You're right Rye. It doesn't make sense. Alex is human; however, Alex does
fit the bill.'

`Char you're being cryptic again,' Wren said.

Charlie lifted his head and looked in our direction. `Sorry but I think I
may have the answer to Rye's question.' He said rubbing his chin.`I
personally think it was a case of mistaken identity.'

Huh!

`Think about it Rye. Alex and you look a lot alike: same height, same body
mass, same feature, same age, same birthday, and same neighborhood. I
believed when they scry for you the protective shield on the house
rebounded and caught sight of Alex instead. And the fact that you and Alex
have had a lot of body contacts your scent might has been on his
clothing. The leopard shifters might have picked that up too.'

`What make you think it's Xell who took Lex?'

`Probably it's because of the crystal pendant around the girl's neck.' Eric
chipped in. `Look. She's a witch.' He handed me the pictures.

Sure enough she was wearing a pendant.

`That and also is the fact that Darklings don't have glyphs.' Charlie
added.

`What now?'

`We find her. Find her and we find your friend.' Eric said.

I was about to say something but Wren beat me to it. `If you're right they
have certainly realized that Alex isn't Rye by now. Why else would the
leopards lure Rye into the woods then?'

`To capture him of course but keeping Alex prisoner would be for leverage.'
Charlie said.

An awkward silence filled the room before Charlie told us to go back to
sleep and that we'll talk more in the morning. He left with Eric.

I, on the other hand have more questions.

Why did they take Mr. Parish? Why kill Susan? And if wargs are servants of
darklings not Councils, why was there wag scents in the Parishes home?

`I can smell your fear. It has intensified. What is it?'

`Just worrying about Lex,' I replied. `I wish there was a way I could
help.'

Wren thought about it for a while.

`Couldn't you do the foggy eyed thing you did this morning when you found
out about his mom? I don't know how you did it but it could work.'

Yeah! It could. But I have to find something that belonged to Alex
first. If I'm not mistaken that's the way I found Susan. She was the one
who gave me that picture for my birthday after she had it framed.

`Brilliant idea atsa,' I said kissing Wren on the cheek.

`You know that's the third or fourth time you've called me atsa since we
met,' Wren said enveloping me in his big arms. I couldn't help but feel
flattered by his gesture. `Do you even know what it means?'

`No.' I admitted. It seemed only natural to use that word when I addressed
Wren that I never asked anyone what it means.

`Atsa means "my love" in Targeten tongue. It's a unique term use only
between bonded lovers. If you were anyone but a Feres you would have had a
bonding glyph on your wrist by now.'

`Oh!'

`But I don't mind. You are my atsa.'  Wren kissed me. I responded by
wrapping my arms around his neck. I played with his hair while doing it
too.

He moved his mouth over one of my ears and bit it somewhat. I moaned and
threw my head back. Now he was tonguing it. It tickled. I giggled.

Before long he was tonguing my neck and shoulder. He sucked them one after
the other marking me, claiming my body as his. I moaned in the meantime.

Too soon he left me standing there like a child that had lost his security
blanket.  Feeling slightly lost, I turned around to see him sitting on the
bed.  He was smiling.

`Strip.' he said.

He was naked and his erected member stood proudly against his belly
button. Strip huh! He wants a show I'll give him a show.

Rhythmically I swayed my body to an inaudible music. I casted off my t
shirt waved it around like a stripper and threw it in his face. He laughed
abundantly and threw my t shirt on the floor.

Still dancing I caressed my chest and torso and played with my nipples. I
saw him wet his lips. His cock twitched and leaked pre-cum. Now I rubbed a
hand over my hard cock through my boxer shorts and toyed with the hem with
the other. `More,' he said.

I seductively pushed down my boxer shorts. I turned my back to him and
lowered it bellow my gluts. He reached up and smacked them. I faked
surprise and stepped out of reach. I turned and waved a finger at him. `No
touching please.'

He snickered.

I removed the boxer shorts completely and kicked it next to the t shirt on
the floor. Then I closed in on him and he yanked me in his lap. Our cocks
pressed together as he gave me a passionate kiss. I move my legs so that I
could sit on his lap without breaking the kiss. Our cocks fought each other
for spaces. He brought his index finger to my mouth and I sucked it. He
dropped a kiss on my chest and breathed in my scent. 'So good.'

He took away his finger from my mouth and brought it to my asshole. He
teased it until he pushed his finger all the way in. `Argh!'

He fucked me with his finger and I buckled on his lap causing our cocks to
rub against each other. He introduced another finger. I reached for his
head and lugged at it for another kiss. Impaling myself on his finger I
humped my slippery dick against his. Too much for him, he picked me up and
lay me in bed on my back. He climbed in and tried to push his hard cock
into my ass. `Get the lube.'

Quickly he jumped out of bed, grabbed the bottle in the night stand drawer
and applied some on his cock. He squeezed a generous amount on his fingers
and spread it on my asshole. He made sure to push some inside as well.

Moving between my legs he breached my opening. When he was all the way in
he put my legs on his shoulders and started thrusting. He was hitting all
the right spots that I couldn't help but grunt. Without missing his rhythm,
he bent down and kissed me. I grabbed his ass with my hands urging him to
move faster and to go deeper. He understood.

After a while, we changed position. He had me on my belly with my ass held
high.  Plunging in again, he secured his hand to my hips and began
thrusting again. Small sounds escaped me every time he drove forward. Wren
began to grant too.

Getting uncomfortable I moved on all four to the famous doggy-style
position and Wren didn't relent. He kept thrusting back and forth like a
well oil machine. At one point I had enough and had to slow him down.

`Stop, stop, stop,' I pushed him out and took in short breaths. Doggy was
too much for me so I told him to change position again. I lay on my side
and he spooned me. He slow fucked me this time with longer stride. I felt
better. I turned my head and we shared another kiss. He fucked me on my
side for some time.

I wanted to see his face so I twisted my body, and he rose to a kneeling
position once again. With his hands straddling my torso he pondered my ass
well. And very soon I was about ready to bust a nut. My sphincter muscle
contracted and we both lost it. He came in my ass and I on my chest and
abs.

I don't know how he did it, but with his cock still lodge in my ass he bent
down and licked the semen off my body before reaching up to kiss me. I
loved the pressure of his body on mine so I didn't want him to move until I
fell asleep.


`Rye. Where the hell have you been? I've been so worried?' Sally Hart, my
best friend after Alex jumped me when I came out of Mr. Garth office the
next morning.

`I guess you've heard about Lex huh?' I said with difficulty.

`It was on the news last night and I couldn't believe what I was hearing,'
she said.  `What happened?'

`I don't know Sally. I'm as shocked as you are. The last I've heard of Lex
was two or three days ago and the thing about his mom...'

`I know sweetie. I've sent him a dozen messages on facebook when I saw the
pictures he posted of his girlfriend and he never replied them. I know how
you two are close, how are you holding up?'

`Good. No. Actually, I'm feeling quite helpless.'

`I know how you feel sweetie. What are you doing here anyway, you should be
resting. You looked like you haven't been sleeping well.'

`I came to see Garth. I'm quitting the job Sally.'

`Why?' She sadly asked.

`I'm thinking of going back to college next semester. It starts in two
weeks and quitting the job now will give me enough time to rest and get
ready.' I lied.  Although, that was my original plan before all of this
crap was dumped on me.

She hugged me. `I understand.'

Alex and I had been friends with Sally for three years now ever since we
started the part time job in the bookstore. We shared a lot of things
together and I considered her to be someone trustworthy. I never told her
about my being gay because it never came up. That and the fact that I
didn't think I was in the first place. I am sure now and I wanted her to
know.

`Can you take a break? I need to tell you something.'

Sally released me from the hug and stared at my face. She looked
puzzled. Curious to know what's next she told me to wait for her outside
while she rushed into Garth office.

Five minutes later she came out smiling. `What did you tell Garth?' I know
him and allowing us to take breaks before time was a complete no, no.

`I told him you were distraught and in need of a shrink or some friend on
friend talk.'

`Sally!'

`Well, something along that line.' She snickered and grabbed my arms. We
walked towards my car which was parked a few blocks away because of the
Saturday rush.

`So what's so important that you couldn't tell me in the store?'

I knew I blushed. She saw my face and laughed.

`That bad! Huh!'

`Sally I'm gay.' I just blurted out. Holly-shit! I did it!

We continued walking and Sally didn't even miss a stride. I've told her the
truth and she was still clinging to my arm. This has to be a good sign
right?

`Sally,' I said when she didn't say anything. I know how some brains take
longer to process this sort of information.

`Rye, to be honest I've known about you ever since your first day on the
job. I wasn't sure of course but there have been a few mishaps on your
part. Why do you think I kept pestering you about Ruth in the first place?
Oh my God Ruth! She'll be heartbroken.'

Then she stepped in front of me, stopping me in my track. She had an evil
grin on her face. I know that look. What's she up to now?

`Can I tell her? Please say yes.'

We continued walking.

`Why do you want to tell her?'

`Nothing, I just want to see her face when I do, well that and the fact
that she stole my boyfriend in fifth grade.'

`Sally you're so mean.'

`Yeah, I know.' She said giggling.

We were a few feet from my car when Sally stopped me again.

`Don't look but there's a cute guy leaning against your car. Damned! He's
so yummy!'

I didn't reply. I just walked up to Wren and planted a kiss on his lips in
full view of the whole street.

`HOLLY FUCK!' Sally shouted, forgetting where she was. `That's your
boyfriend?!'  I nodded yes.

`Hey. I'm Wren.' Wren said taking Sally's hand and kissed it like a
gentleman. Sally blushed in shyness.

`So, I've heard you hate dogs.' Wren said. I frowned at him for that.

`True. I'm more of a cat person.'

`I was thinking of dumping that one,' he pointed a finger in my direction
while looking at Sally, `so that we could be together but too bad, I'm more
of a dog person myself.'

Sally giggled. Her eyes never strayed from Wren.

I looked in the car and I couldn't fine Nick. When he came by the house
this morning Charlie said that he should also be with me at all time in
case we run into trouble.

`Where's Nick?' I asked Wren.

`He went to get coffee.' Wren said. I could sense the annoyance in his
voice.

`Well, I really have to get back to work. Rye, call me if you get any news
of Lex.'

`Will do.'

`It was nice meeting you Wren. And for your information I can learn to like
dogs if "someone" is patient enough to teach me.' She teased before she
sauntered back towards the bookstore giggling.


Ten minutes later, we were on our way to the supermarket to pick up some
provisions Charlie requested before heading home. Nick was driving and I
rode shotgun. We were making idle chats whilst Wren was in the backseat
looking bored and watching the fast moving pavement.

All of a sudden, Wren urgently told us to park the car. Without question
Nick park the car behind a tuck near the pavement.

`What's the matter mutt? Do you need to pee that bad.'  Nick teased. But
Wren wasn't paying attention to what he was saying. Rather he was scanning
the pavement for something or was it someone.

`Rye you remember the witch don't you. Alex's girlfriend.'

`Yes.'

`Okay, for a minute there I thought I saw... there behind the guy in the
gray coat.'

He said pointing at the passerby. I looked in the direction he indicated.
Sure enough, a blonde girl baring the striking resemblance of Christine
walked past the car in a short white blouse, red mini skirt and a tall high
heel boots at her leisure.  She carried a fashionable red hand bag under
her arm and around her neck was the same pendant she had in the photos.

`Yeah that's her,' I said and before I knew it Wren had his t shirt off and
was pulling at his combat shorts.

`You guys wait here. I'll follow her and sees where she goes.' Nickolas and
I didn't have time to reply when Wren shifted into Wren-wolf and quickly
jumped out the car window. Nick and I watched him go and I wondered if we
should follow too.

`Show off.' Nick shouted after him. Fortunately Wren couldn't hear him
because he was way out of earshot.
