Treasure

The sound of the motorcycles carried on the light breeze as it announced the return of the Steel Ladies. Chase looked up from the hanging Papasan chair on their deck overlooking the lake, both of his children leaned against his chest in just their diapers. He watched as little Cheryl looked around before starting to cry, her red hair matted with sweat from their time outside. Mark was on his right arm; his hair was also red, and he fussed in the warmth of the mid-August day. The twins were two months old, and he and Rori had been extremely busy parents. Without the help of their mothers, they would still be getting little sleep.

Keith came out from inside, bringing his baby girl back out after changing Hope’s diaper. She had been born on July 5th, five weeks later than the twins, and was slightly larger with chubby cheeks. “At least the babies got a good nap in after their noon feeding. Think the girls had fun?”

“I know they did,” he said. “Coral told me I need to prospect the Club so she can become a Steel Lady.”

“I got a heads up from the gate guard, they’ll be here in a few minutes,” Colletta said as she came outside. “I bet Rori’s about to burst.” It was true; Rori’s breasts had grown in to feed the hungry twins, and the dairy bar was about to open. Colletta took Cheryl from Chase so he could get up, then they all walked to the stairs to wait for their mates.

While they were still in Florida after the wedding, Rori and Chase had made plans for a Steel Brotherhood rally at their property so they could see everyone again. The date was set for the week after the Sturgis rally, allowing everyone to relax and have a more family-friendly time after the blowout in South Dakota.

None of the Arrowhead Pack had made it to Sturgis. Even Roadkill, a veteran of a dozen Sturgis rides, was too busy to join the rest of the Club.

The Arrowhead rally was Club only, and family-oriented. All of the Club officers from all of the Chapters that Rori had stayed with had come. Add in patched members, prospects, old ladies, and their families, and they had about a hundred and fifty bikers adults plus dozens of children here this week. Some had ridden in, some flew, and some drove. In addition to those staying in the houses, the RV park and camping areas they built down the lakeshore were full. The Arrowhead Pack did all they could to make this a fun week for them while hiding their wolf nature.

The rest of the home construction completed in July, letting mated couples move into their homes along the lake. The single women had moved into two of the houses, leaving two strictly as guest houses for now. The Pack grew after their Memorial Day weekend move-in, accepting twenty-six while losing three to matings. It brought their Pack to a respectable fifty members. Many of the new members were mated, and now their Pack was much more balanced.

The busiest man this week was probably Roadkill. As Beta of the Pack Garage, he and his staff of four had to keep all the vehicles up and running. Motorcycles, ATV’s, boats, jet skis, cars, trucks- they had it all. The Pack had brought in a member who was an experienced mechanic, and three of the female Omegas were training under them and helping with maintenance, fueling, and checkout. Everyone was having a great time, despite the late nights getting everything ready for the next day.

Beta Ron was almost as busy, with his housekeeping and kitchen staff kept hopping by the needs of all the guests. They did breakfast buffet style at the Pack House, but they stuck to outdoor cooking for the lunches and dinners, weather permitting. Ron had built a long barbecue pit down by the beach, and they had a pavilion with refrigerators, sinks and prep tables next to the covered picnic area. The Oxbow Lake pack was pitching in, sending over food and extra help for the big barbecues.

Aces and Bunny even drove up in the toy hauler RV they had kept for Rori since the near Salt Lake City. Rori now had her custom-painted Harley back. The pair were leaving the Winnebago and riding back to Vegas on his motorcycle.

The motorcycle formation started to break up as they approached the houses. A minute later, Rori, Coral, and Donna pulled up. Donna bought a Harley 883 Sportster Super Low when they moved in and was enjoying the freedom of riding her bike instead of being behind Roadkill all the time. They took off their helmets and shook out their hair. Both men were looking at their mates with wolves forward and lustful thoughts, as they looked good in their jean shorts and halter tops. Motherhood and breastfeeding had filled their tops out nicely, their wolves agreed.

“Did you bring me a slice of pie,” Chase asked with begging eyes as she moved into his arms and kissed him deeply. The Ladies had gone to lunch at Betty’s Pies for secret women’s business.

“Check my saddlebags,” Rori said with a grin. “How are my babies?”

“They want some momma milk,” he said. Rori sat in the Papasan chair while he ran for her bike. She untied her halter and exposed her breasts as Colletta placed the twins in her arms.

“They were hungry,” she said as the two started to feed. Coral sat in a chair next to her and pulled her shirt and maternity bra to the side, giving Hope what she wanted. Fifteen minutes later, the babies were fed, burped, and changed. As their eyes started to close, they were placed next to each other in the portable crib they kept downstairs. The babies were together a lot with the Grandmas and were soon sleeping together.

“Mom said she would watch them for a couple of hours so we can spend some time at the beach,” Rori said. There was a sandy stretch near the campgrounds that was central to the lake fun. They had volleyball courts, lounge chairs, and a Ga-ga ball pit there, plus a dock had all the jet skis and a water-skiing boat, and a marked swimming area. The beaches near the Point and below their houses had more rocks, and the swimming wasn’t as good.

“I guess we should get our suits, then,” Coral said as she led Keith away. “We’ll be back for you in ten minutes.”

“Thirty,” Keith said as he grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulder, smacking her firm ass for good measure. “You’ve been away from me too long, and the baby isn’t the only one who wants to play with those,” he said as he ran off for their house.

Rori laughed at her sister-in-law then her eyes got wide as she looked at her mate. “Chase…” Rori was backing up as Chase started to stalk her.

“Don’t run from me, love, my wolf will always catch you. Easy way or hard, but either way, you’re showering with me.” Chase had been making up for lost time since the Doc gave him the go-ahead to resume their ‘mated activities’ as he had put it. Rori had almost lost all her baby weight now, and her wolf was all for being with her mate.

“Fine, but don’t wake the babies,” she said.

“I’m not going to be the one screaming,” he said as he herded her towards the stairway. He took her hand and led her to the second floor and their master suite.

Colletta grinned at their antics as they moved away. “Charles is going to be here soon,” she said. “He’ll keep me company, so take your time.” Rori’s grandfather had been spending a lot of time at Arrowhead over the summer, much of it with Chase’s Mom. It was helping her get over the loss of her mate, and for that, they were all thankful.

As soon as the door to the master suite was closed, their clothes were flying off, and they practically ran into the shower. The house had tankless water heaters, so the shower was hot in seconds. They devoured each other in a kiss as the water crashed down over them, washing away the dust and the sweat of the day thus far. Rori reached down, her hand moving over his shaft as it reached full hardness. She jumped up into his arms, and he lifted her petite body as she wrapped her legs around him. Rori put him at her entrance, then sank slowly onto him. “I’ve been thinking about this all afternoon,” she said as she bottomed out. She kept her hands around his neck. Chase lifted her until just the head was inside before he dropped her to the hilt. Rori let out a loud moan. “Fuck me, baby, fuck me hard and fast,” she begged as she started squeezing him.

“What my mate wants, she gets,” he said. He moved until her back was against the shower wall, and she reached up and grabbed the shower head for support. His strong hands held her hips in place as he started to piston into her. She broke, screaming her pleasure at his use of her, and that just encouraged him to do more. It didn’t take them long before they came together with him buried deep inside her. She lost herself in the feelings over their bond as her walls coaxed every last bit of his seed from him.

When they recovered enough to move, Chase backed up until he was sitting on the built-in chair. He kissed her deeply, then started kissing down her neck to her empty breasts. “Wow,” she said.

“You amaze me every day, love. I’m not going to be happy when I’m away from you over the next year.”

“Don’t remind me,” she said. “All of those nurses that will be lusting over you while you are working your ass off.”

“They won’t get a second look from me. I have everything I want and need in the house with me right now.” They had talked a lot about his future; even though he was the Alpha, he was not the dominant wolf in their pair, Rori was. Chase didn’t want to waste his medical school training, and he needed to complete his psychiatric residency to help people just like the women now in his Pack. It also would give him access to drugs and medical supplies, and keep a werewolf doctor in the area after the Oxbow doctor finally retired. He was going to be starting residency at a hospital in Duluth after Labor Day. Once done, he would take up more of her duties so Rori could go to school. With their Moms helping and the Pack Omegas, she was hoping to be able to paint again.

Rori started rolling her hips, which would have predictable results if she kept teasing him. “Remind me why we had to shower when we’re just going to go out in the sun, put on lotion and swim in a lake?”

He nibbled on her shoulder gently. “Because my love, I wanted you, and the shower makes cleanup easy,” he said. He lifted her, and she felt the big blob work its way out and then plop on the shower floor.

“At least we don’t have to worry about being pregnant again yet. One great thing about being a werewolf is only one heat a year,” Rori said. “I used to wonder if I was too stressed or the drugs were doing something when I didn’t have monthlies.”

“There’s a lot of great things,” he said as he started to wash off her back. “Come on; we’ve not much time.” They finished showering and got into their swimwear, a pair of blue board shorts and a University of Minnesota-Duluth T-shirt for him, a black bikini and a long Steel Ladies shirt for her. They grabbed towels and put on flip-flops and before walking outside to the waiting shuttle bus. A few minutes later, they were at the beach. The afternoon sun was intense, so most people were hanging out in the shade of the veranda.

Chase was happy to see a dozen of the Omegas here with the bikers. The women were learning to talk, flirt, and have fun again. The single men were happy to have the beautiful women around. He wouldn’t doubt if some of the girls were having fun at night, too. Sex with humans happened, but none could be mates, so they didn’t let it get serious.

They stayed for a few hours, talking and swimming, and as the hosts making sure everyone was having a good time. Today was the last day where most of the activities were going to be at their compound; tomorrow would be a Club run along the North Shore of Lake Superior to the Canadian border. Almost all the members were going, and Chase was leading it.

“This has been a good year for you,” Mighty Elk said as she sat next to them, her huge tits straining the bikini she was wearing. Wolfman sat on her other side, a T-shirt covering his expanse of back hair. “You look so happy.”

“So many things have happened, but I was happy before all this,” she said as she waved her hand at the lake. “There were dark times in my life before I met the Steel Ladies, times when I thought I’d never find anyone to love. You guys were the ones who drew me out, and for that, I’m eternally grateful.”

“And you kept her safe until I could find her,” Chase said. “Now we have a home, family, friends. You will always be welcome here. Now, if I could just convince some of you that it would be fun to visit in the winter?”

“Are you kidding,” Mongo said. “I’m smart enough to look at weather maps.”

“Yeah, it’s cold, but you dress for it. We are going to get a big ice fishing house to put out on the lake, where we can drive out in the truck and stay there in comfort. We’ve also got a bunch of snowmobiles, and those are a blast with all the snow we get.”

Three Tequila elbowed him. “It’s not going to kill you to try something new,” she said. “He’s a wimp sometimes. He likes the humidity.” She reached down to cover her belly; it seemed as good a time as any to tell people since most of the leadership was around. She had been feeling off this week and had stopped by to pick up a test on the way back from lunch. “I’d love to come up, but it has to be before I’m too far along, or I won’t be able to snowmobile.”

Everyone looked at her as Mongo held his hands over her hand on her lower stomach. “You’re pregnant?”

She nodded. “Just found out this morning. I should be due in April.” A cheer rang out, and she was picked up and hugged by just about everyone, and that took a while. Tequila shots got poured on the portable bar, and Wolfman led a toast for the happy parents.

“Come up over Thanksgiving,” Rori whispered when she hugged her. “I love you guys. You’re my family too.”

Chase was having a good time, and Rori told him to stay and watch over things while she went back with Coral to feed the babies. “I’d like to go too,” Howler said. Three Tequila and Elk also wanted to go, saying they wanted to spend some time with the babies while things were quiet. The girls caught the shuttle bus back to her house. It was late afternoon, and they were all tired from the heat and activity. “Have I mentioned how much I love your place,” Howler said as they entered the main room.

“A few times. I love the lake views,” Rori said as they went over to where Charles and Colletta were sitting on the couch with the babies. Their nanny Michelle was changing Hope. They all sat around as the babies started to feed. Charles and Colletta said they were going to take a walk down by the lake, so soon it was just the Ladies.

“Were you ever going to tell us what you are,” Howler asked.

Rori twitched and almost let go of her babies, glad for the pillows stacked around her while she fed. “What do you mean,” she asked when she recovered.

“I stepped out the back of our Clubhouse during the party that first night you were there with us,” she said. “I was wondering where you went, as you left the party and went to the garage. I followed you, but you were already outside. I’m wasn’t spying, I was just worried; men were after you, and you had just told me about the blackout attacks you would have. When I got out back, you were sitting at the picnic table by the back shed looking at the moon. I was about to head back inside when I hear a snap.”

Rori looked at her. “You saw me change?”

“Freaked me out, but I didn’t say anything. It looked painful, but when it was over, this beautiful rust-colored wolf was standing there. She looked at me, then ran for the fence. I couldn’t move for a few minutes, when I finally did, I found your clothes. I stacked them on your shoes and went back inside, trying to figure it all out. Bear and I talked most of the night as we waited for you to return. Just before sunrise, we saw you come back into the compound through the hole in the fence and watched as you changed back and got dressed. It was the coolest thing ever.”

“Cool? It freaked me out!”

“We thought you knew. It explained a few things; your strength and speed, how fast you healed, even the flashes we would see in your eyes when you got mad. I called Three Tequila and asked about it, and we agreed that if you were keeping it a secret, we would too. The only ones who ever knew about it are in this room. The President and Lady of the Chapter needed to know just in case it affected the Club.”

Cheryl finished, and Rori handed her to Three Tequila to burp. “You’ve known all this time,” she said.

“They need to be official, or the Council will look to have them killed off,” Chase said over their link. Rori had sent him everything that was said since the initial shock wore off. “I’m more than fine having them as Pack Affiliates.”

“We have, and it explains so much. This is your Pack, isn’t it,” Elk said.

She nodded. “I was born not far from here; my parents led the Pack. They were attacked and wiped out when I was one, the night Possum found me on the road. I didn’t know I was a werewolf until the bear attack. My wolf and I fought each other. The blackouts happened when my wolf took over, and the pain and aggression were from her fighting to get out.”

“All the people who live here are your Pack?”

“Yes. Chase and I are the Alphas, the leaders. Coral and Keith, Ron and Teri, and Roadkill and Possum are our Betas; they run parts of the Pack for us.”

“Wait a minute. Possum is a werewolf too?” Tequila looked confused.

“No, they are human. It isn’t like the movies; being a werewolf is something you are born with. If I bit you in my wolf form, you would die a slow and painful death.”

“Dammit, I was hoping I could be one too. It would be so cool,” Three Tequila said as she looked down at the sleeping baby in her arms.

“It’s important that you don’t tell anyone what you know,” Rori said. “Werewolves have a long history of being persecuted and killed by humans. Our ruling body, the Council, has a law that mandates killing humans who find out about us. We don’t want to be killed, captured, or experimented on.”

“But you haven’t killed Possum and Roadkill,” Elk said.

“They are what we call Pack Affiliates; trusted humans who know our secret but vow to protect it. The Alphas of the Pack have to take responsibility for them. If they spill the secret, we pay the price too. That is why they can live here with us. They are part of our Pack,” Rori said.

“And that is what we have to be as well,” Howler said, “Or they will kill us too.” Rori nodded. “It’s cool by me, do you get a patch or a cut or something? A secret ceremony?”

Rori laughed. “No, you just swear to keep our secret, and we go to the Council and get your status confirmed. They are all here now. Chase is getting them together, and they’ll be here in a few minutes.” She pointed to her head. “Mental communication, another benefit of being a werewolf.”

“Hot sex is one of those benefits, right?” Howler asked as the girls cracked up. “Oh come on, you’ve seen these guys. I bet it’s hard animal sex all night long!”

“Sometimes all night in our wolf form,” Rori laughed. “It figures that with all the weird shit I just confessed to, you’d want to know about my sex life.”

“A Lady needs to be satisfied,” she said with a smirk. “Can we see her? Your wolf?”

Chase said they would be there in fifteen minutes, so she nodded as she handed off Mark to Howler. Pulling off her shirt and bikini, she got on her hands and knees and let the shift come over her. Moments later, her big rust-colored wolf was in her place. “Fuck, she’s big,” Tequila said. Rori went around, letting each of the Ladies pet her before she shifted and got dressed again. “This is so cool! Everyone who lives here is like this?”

Rori nodded. “The Council is almost here. You need to swear before them to keep our secret, and we’ll be responsible for you after that,” she said.

Chase brought the Council and the Chapter Presidents in. The Council was shocked, not so much by the fact that they knew, but that they had kept the secret so long. The vote was unanimous, and they became Pack Affiliates. “Thank you for everything, and for watching out for me,” Rori told them as the Council left. “You are Pack now, so you are part of our family. We would love to see you again.”

Mighty Elk gave her a big hug. “If we are the only ones here, can we see how you live?”

She nodded. “We’ll even take you on a Pack Run.” They started to get the babies ready to go before heading back to the beach for dinner and a party.

Bikers and Werewolves together. It was a hell of a week.

The End
