put his own clothes on, having to go commando since he didn’t have a change of underwear. He didn’t really care since he knew what Jill was getting for Christmas and it wasn’t going to be courting.

When they got back, Kain met them at the camp. He wasn't wearing any clothing since he'd just shifted back to human form after calling Jill. Damien turned his eyes away still embarrassed since the idea of being naked in front of a stranger was still new to him. Jill wrapped her arms around Kain's waist.

“You almost missed us leaving. I am glad you heard my call.” Jill kissed Kain's cheek.

“I wouldn't miss this, Kain.” She turned back to look at Damien. “Ready to see your first, First Moon?”

Damien didn't know what to expect. He was still trying to get over how open the lycans were with their sensual touching. It made him jealous to see Kain's hands on Jill's lower back.

“Well, ready is a bit strong but I am curious.” Damien replied, pulling Jill away from Kain, his hand going around her waist.

Jill chuckled at Damien’s sudden display of possession. “That's a start.”

As they walked away from him, Damien couldn't help but see the look of heartache on Kain's face.

“Wait, Jill. I'll meet you there. I want to talk to Kain.”

Jill nodded, confused. Shifting into her wolf form, she joined the others already walking behind Holt, Cade and Gabriel.

Damien walked up to Kain, careful to avoid looking into his eyes. “Kain...I'm...”

“She chose you. There's nothing to be sorry for. You make her happier than I have ever seen her. I will always love Jillian but I know now I could never give her what she needed. You complete her, Damien. That is what is important.”

“Still.”

“Don't. You're a good man. I can accept defeat from someone with such a strong heart and will. Just treat her right and give her strong pups.” Kain choked on a chuckle at the look on Damien's face.

“Oh, they are coming. All lycan females want pups. It's just a matter of time.” He patted Damien's shoulder. “Come on, I will show you where you're going.”

Damien's mouth stayed agape the whole way. He wasn’t even thinking about having pups, yet. He’d just decided when he was going to have sex with Jill the first time. Lycan or not, if she wanted pups, she was going to have to wait.

“We are here.” Kain's voice served to help Damien return to the moment.

The place they arrived at was a wide-open circle of trees.

The moon shone like a spotlight over a large stone that overlooked a smaller circle formed from a barrier of smaller rocks. It had been cleared of debris almost as if it were sacred.

“I have to go. As an alpha, I have to be present for the changing. Jillian's coming your way.” Kain shifted into a beautiful sandy coated wolf much larger than Jill in size.

In her own wolf form, she lowered her head to her alpha, whimpering in submission to his position. Damien could swear he saw Kain smile before he walked off.

Jill snuggled up close to Damien’s side, her muzzle meeting his stomach. She closed her eyes as his hands ran through her obsidian fur. The sensation pleasing her to the point of joyful whimpering.

Holt stood above the packs in wolf form as the different pups of both species, human and lycan shifted in front of the alphas. Kain and Gabriel stood on either side of Holt, each greeting the pups of their packs with playful nuzzles.

Damien couldn’t believe what he was seeing. The children he saw earlier shifted clumsily into wolves in front of his eyes. The pups shifted into human form, each jumping for joy to try and please their leaders.

It continued until each one had met the alpha of their pack, lowering their eyes and showing their allegiance.

Once the last pup was inducted into its pack, Jill took Damien over to a mother who had newborn pups nursing.

“We can give birth either way. It depends on how we are when we're ready to have them. Some of us have them like this, others as human babies.” She handed the small ball of fuzz to Damien. It looked like a regular puppy to him only slightly bigger, yawning as it snuggled into his chest.

“We aren't so different, Damien. Luna has just blessed us with the ability to change into the lords of the night. We still have our children and love them just as any human would. We aren't the monsters we’re made out to be.” Jill knelt down, petting each pup. They squeaked and wiggled at her touch.

Damien's looked down at the little whimpering fuzz ball asleep against his chest.

“Seems she likes you.” Jill said, smiling, her cheek coming to rest on Damien’s shoulder.

“She?”

“Yes, that's a little girl. The mother told me she had four girls and three boys.” Jill took the pup from Damien and gave her back to her mother.

“You can have that many?” Damien asked, sort of worried at the idea.

“Sometimes but it’s rare nowadays. Most of us only have two or three. Lately, we haven’t been able to keep them alive. Having more is beneficial and increases their chances to reach the age to change. Our kind is dying, Damien. The vampires are killing us faster than we can produce. Most of those pups you saw won’t make it to even a year old.”

The sad tone in Jill’s voice tore at Damien’s heart. Her kind were in trouble and he didn’t know how to help though he wanted to.

Damien didn’t really speak much on the way back to Holt’s camp. Jill walked beside him in her wolf form, Kain on his other side.

After they arrived back at the encampment, Damien spent time with Jill,
