"Yes true I can breathe under the water..." She flushed as she let herself float on the surface of the water.

"Well yeah but I wanna show you something....Look see?" He grinned. "Bara's my mate. I have a mate now." He said puffing out his chest a bit.

'Aren't you too young for a mate? It's a big decision....one you can't take back...' Wendy frowned looking at them.

kaji laughed then relaxed in the water as well. "Tell me when you're ready to go.... I mean we should head back before it starts to get dark." he said softly but didn't seem bothered.

Bara blushed brightly at Delta's words and looked down and away a bit but stayed close and under his arm easily.

"Bad underling! you know you shouldn't make such decisions without my consent." haren said bonking Delta on the head. he seemed irritated even more by the fact that it was before he got the chance to mate and not to mention it was with his younger sister.

"Yes...I guess we should...though you could create a fire to light the way could you not?" She asked looking at him smiling.

Delta whined pawing at him. "But I told you I was gonna have Bara as my mate..." He pouted. "And I'm not your underling...." He huffed crossing his arms over his chest. "And no...I'm not too young....what are you doing here anyway aren't your Reyol's?" He grumbled annoyed.

Wendy flushed darkly and narrowed her eyes. 'No. I am not anyones.' She growled mentally.

"Coulda fooled me...you were hanging all over him...." He huffed. "Come on Bara lets go..." He grumbled pouting once his back was turned.

Wendy huffed looking annoyed.

"Yeah I could I suppose." Kaji shrugged a bit but then just smiled at Kaya not minding either way. "Up to you." he smiled easily before backstroking a few times.

"Yeah and then you didn't make your move until today. As for you being an underling, you are until you're alpha got it." Haren smirked easily. before glancing at Wendy and thought some smirking slightly to himself.

bara nodding as she fallowed Delta. "Why do you hang around him anyway?" she asked once they were out of hearing range.

"I'd liked to stay longer with you....here...alone..." She said flushing darkly.

Wendy frowned watching them go not noticing the way Haren was smirking. She gave a soft sigh. 'I should go...I'm rather tired and still have to find a place to rest...' She said as she stood slowly.

He shook his head as he led her too his room and sat down on his bed pouting. "I don't know what I expected. He's a jerk. I just thought he'd be happy or something...." He muttered.

"Okay" Kaji smiled as he swam over to Kaya and hugged her to him with a warm smile and kissed her head softly.

"You could always stay here... I don't know where there's any open rooms other then in this part of the cave." Haren said grinning slightly.

Bara frowned but sat down with Delta easily. "Why does he matter? In fact why do you hang out with him so much? He's always been a jerk." she said softly with a frown.

She giggled lightly and nuzzled against him. "You are so warm..." She hummed relaxing. "I like this...being here....it's peaceful...I don't have to worry about blocking everyone out...I can just focus on you and how-" She trailed off face red.

She blinked looking at him. "Ah." She shook her head. 'Thank you but...I'd be safer staying with Kaya I believe...' Even as she spoke she yawned.

"Because he's better to be on his side than against him...if...if I hadn't followed him...." He shook his head. "I would have ended up like Reyol..." He said softly.

"What?" Kaji asked but had been smiling before and was staying close to her easily and nuzzled her lovingly.

Haren grunted but had a feeling if he pushed her he may end up in trouble with Rachet. "Do you know the way?" he asked boredly

"Why would he treat you any different? you were allot stronger then Reyol when we were kids... besides you're dad's son, the alpha's son, everyone looks up to you and Kaji." Bara said before wrapping her arms around one of his and looked up at him with a smile.

"How you feel about me...and how I feel about you...and how similar they are...." Kaya said softly nuzzling her back.

She frowned and shook her head as she yawned again shoulders drooping tiredly.'No but perhaps I should reconsider your offer Kaya went off with Kaji....I wouldn't want to interfere...'

Delta flushed looking at her and kissed her gently. "Thank you...for believing in me Bara..." He said softy.

Kaji smiled softly before gently kissing her head with a smile.

Haren grinned a little before nodding and lead her to one of the rooms right off of his room. That room had a nice comfy bed with several pillows so he was sure she would like it.

"of course... why wouldn't I." Bara smiled easily as she nuzzled his neck softly and lovingly.

She flushed and beamed at him. "Oh...we should head back down the sun is almost gone..."

She smiled softly looking at the room. She sent a thank you to him as she shifted to her wolf form, a small silver wolf and climbed up on the bed curling into a ball sleepily.

He shrugged and kissed her gently. "Thank you anyway...you um...you know you can mark me too if you want...I know guys don't usually get marked but I don't mind I guess..." He shrugged.

Kaji sighed but nodded. "okay, come on then." He smiled slightly as he swam to the edge of the water and pulled himself out letting his body dry instantly before going and grabbing his clothes and slipping them back on.

Haren smiled as he watched her and laid down in his bed shifting into his wolf form as well. he had the perfect angle to see her and easily watched her until he fell asleep.

"Well... I don't really see why... I mean.. unless you were planning on sleeping with others." Bara said then pouted at the though hoping he wouldn't.

She followed him out moving all the water off her body still shivering a bit as she searched for her clothes with a frown.

It didn't take her long to fall asleep and begin to dream.

"No. No. Of course not Bara. I was just offering." He flushed leaning in to kiss her when he heard a growl. "D-dad..."

"......What is that on your neck Bara...did....you didn't. Delta." He growled. Delta whined shrinking back a bit. "Bara?"

Kaji frowned before walking over and placing a hand on Kaya's shoulder to warm her while he helped her look making sure that his powers wouldn't burn her but would just keep her from being cold.

Bara gave Delta a nod before kissing him back lightly then turned rather red and shrunk slightly as she look up when she heard Delta say 'dad and saw Rachet. Her heart was pounding a bit and her hand instinctively went to the spot where Delta had marked her but noticed that the skin felt a bit different... of course she didn't know that she had a rose and vines there that was slowly growing larger... though most marks only went down to the base of the neck if on the neck so it shouldn't go much further. "Uh...." Bara didn't really know what to say as she stared down a bit embarrassed.

Kaya flushed looking at him. "Th-thank you...." She said and grinned as she found her clothes going to pull them on.

"You...." He groaned. "Just now. For real!" He growled. "Just wait till your mother hears about this Delta. Bara." He shook his head. "You are too young for this." He shook his head.

Kaji smiled before offering Kaya his hand so they could go ahead back to the cave.

Bara stared down at her legs unsure of how to act, feel or what to say as she just stayed close to Delta but was kinda worried at how their mother would react... of course it wasn't too uncommon for wolves even from the same litter to mate... and many even mated before they were two.

Kaya smiled leaning against him and yawning.


"I mean....congrats but just...." he sighed. "Just don't have a litter please? I'm not ready to be a grandpa..." He grumbled and turn to head back to his den with Alora.

Bara paled a bit then looked at Delta a bit worried and confused at their fathers reaction... it made her unsure how to feel really.

Kaji smiled as he walked with Kaya back to the cave and saw Rachet leaving from where Delta's room was and wondered a bit what was going on.

Alora yawned as she moved and settled the two pups into their bed and covered them up before standing and stretching a bit.

Delta sighed looking at Bara. "It's okay...we are okay...Dad wasn't mad...." He frowned worried.

Kaya's eyes went wide and she gasped. "They mated!" She said blinking. Ratchet paused looking at Kaya and Kaji.

He nodded at them and narrowed his eyes. "No. You can date but so help me if you mate or have a liter before....just don't not yet. Please Kaji your mother might kill herself..." He said as he walked off quickly. He smiled at Alora or tried to anyway.

Bara looked at Delta a bit worried before leaning into him softly hoping that everything was okay.

"U-uhm... okay?" Kaji said then looked at Kaya confused as to why their dad thought that.

"What's wrong?" Alora sighed as she saw Rachet try to force a smile and wondered what could have been bothering him now... all their kids were safe... no body had started trouble in a long time... what could possibly be wrong?

He nuzzled her lovingly. "It's okay..." He promised.

Kaya frowned understanding. "She isn't used to this like dad is...siblings...and she still thinks of us as pups..."

"Delta and Bara..." He sighed shaking his head. "They are mates."

Bara looked at him then nodded and covered her mouth as she gave a light yawn not realizing that she was tired until now and wondered if she was to sleep in his room from now on... that didn't bother her though.

"Oh yeah... her old pack didn't do that... neither does Alex's family..." Kaji said then blushed slightly since it was kinda different but he didn't really care.

"W-what?! but... they're from the same litter... brother and sister..." Alora said as she sat down and rubbed the back of her head a bit unsure and confused.

He chuckled looking at her. "Come'on lets go to bed." He huffed as he changed into his wolf form pulling down the covers so she could get in.

"No...but it seems natural to me..." She shrugged. "Um I guess I'll go see if Heiwa will mind me sleeping with her...I don't like to be alone..." She flushed.

"Yes...so....I'm more worried about being a grandfather than that..." he grumbled. "Kaya and Kaji are a match too though hopefully they won't mate for a while....but we will see..." he sighed.

Bara smiled before shifting as well and crawled under the covers before moving so her head was sticking out but she was curled up to Delta.

kaji frowned but nodded understandingly then kissed Kaya's cheek sweetly with a smile.

"half of my children are mated to each other... uh... just... not something that I'm used to at all..." Alora said as she rubbed her head a bit more

He smiled nuzzling against her fur gently and letting out a small huff.

"I um I mean unless you are okay with um me being in your bed..." she flushed darkly.

Ratchet shrugged. "It's fine Alora...really."
