Ghost stories.

I back out of the tent as carefully as possible so I don’t wake Thomas and Ander. After the cook out I thought it would be a good idea to bring Thomas and a few of his friends out to the forest just past our guard for a little camp out. Now the kids are all tucked away in their tents, we adults can have a little fun, zipping the tent up. I see Fraction, Patrick, Eliza and James all sitting around a small campfire drinking beers. I smile as I watch my family all laugh at something Patrick says, Fraction turns to me and holds his hand out. As soon as I am close enough he pulls me down to him so I’m sitting between his legs.

“Ok, let’s do some adult ghost stories.” Patrick says as he swaps Eliza’s empty beer for a full one.

“Are you trying to get me drunk?” Eliza asks around a laugh.

“Always, kitten.” I smile at them suddenly understanding the inside. joke she was talking about before.

“Wait, Anna won’t of heard The Shalamayne story before.” James and Fraction both groan as Eliza gets all excited, she sits up straighter and moves her hair from her face.

“What’s that?” I ask looking around at them all.

“A story to keep wild shifters in line,” Fraction whispers in my ear.

Turns out this Omega was his fated mate so he started to court her, eventually Felro had his human wife by day and his shifter mate by night.” Eliza smiles at me as she mentions an Omega and I just roll my eyes. “One night his human wife followed him and saw him entangled with his Omega. She watched as he made love to her over and over again. Hatching a plan she went back to their little hut and created a meal especially for her lover, in the meadow not too far from their home a purple plant grew that she knew her husband was allergic too.
