Greed can be mean
The Guardian knew he lost two Shadelings to his masters' allies, he could smell Amber and Stefan all over Tiffany, so he let out a victory roar in the midst of the biggest leap he had shown thus far and then he dove deep into the swamp and before he made it to his destination he was already in a deep slumber. His body came to a slow gradual halt and then the swamp closed in around him.
Both Amber and Stefan allowed their senses to drop below ground. They both sensed the guardian and they both nodded in satisfaction. Anyone looking at them would assume they nodded for the same reason.
After all everything was done simultaneously.
But….
Amber checked on the Guardian. She made sure that it was actually returning to its normal slumber. She wanted to make sure that this last awakening had not disrupted its programmed responses. Her family had "trained" or "persuaded" (depending on how you looked at it) the guardian for centuries. And it was their responsibility to ensure that it was always under control.
Stefan made sure that he had a semblance of control over the guardian and if the entity was open to communicating with him.
If Tiffany could gain this entity's trust he would definitely take control of it even as it lay beneath neutral territory. Controlled or an ally the guardian was a benefit to him and an interesting piece in his pursuit for revenge.
He and Amber stayed out over the swamp area and began searching the shadeling base of operations and the area around it. Trahan and Talon soon joined them. Talon was especially vigilant there and he continued to warn everyone of possible surveillance or traps. He was not jumpy but he also wasn't his usual calm self either.
Trahan looked to his mate. He wanted to embrace him and tell him it would be alright but this was not the werewolf way so he was surprised when it was his own niece that comforted him.
"Uncle Talon. We are your family. We will fight by your side and protect you in equal measure. Your vampire family will not scare nor intimidate us. We are here for you." As she spoke she had walked to him and embraced him as she finished. It was an odd think for Trahan to see and it made him proud and caused him to love this shewolf even more.
Stefan actually smiled at this himself. To see such a strong shewolf be so caring as well reminded him of the important women in his life. He paused. Was Amber now important to him?
He frowned, internally, then his senses hit on something and he look downward with an actual frown on his face. He slowly backed the majority of his perception back and only left the tiniest tendrils to investigate.
Amber sensed his change and narrowed her eyes. She merely looked through his senses and when she did her eyes widened and she grabbed Talon in a protective stance, moving him behind her.
"I don't think it's for him. It is probably more for us."
"Maybe not us. They didn't know we would come."
They both looked at Trahan but it was Talon who reacted first. Talon grabbed him and they both blinked from sight and both Amber and Stefan looked up at the same time to see them reappear many meters directly above them.
But the tubular Projectiles that shot from beneath Amber and Stefan rose to even greater heights and targeted Trahan. They shot towards him or shot smaller projectiles and as Amber and Stefan moved to join them Trahan and Talon were surrounded by a large shimmering sphere.
Tiffany appeared above them and tubes the and all of the iprojectiles were suddenly stopped and then crushed to the ground. Amber raised an eyebrow and looked to Stefan, who had a look of pride plastered on his face.
Everything crashed to the ground but the area around Amber and Stefan was completely free of any debris.
Amber looked up and Tiffany was already gone. She just shook her head. That one was way overpowered and she was sure she had not seen a quarter of what she could do.
Trahan came down, with Talon, with a broad smile.
"That sister of yours…" He shook his head and looked back up. "She is truly phenomenal."
"Yes she is. Let's go below and see what we can find."
Tiffany sat in a dark room, her breathing quite labored. She had been still working to "reprogram" the shadelings when she saw the situation near her Alpha. She knew she could handle something like that but convincing the shadelings proved to be more taxing than she thought it would.
She paused and looked at the two shadelings. She sighed and released them. They looked at her, fully awake but unable to move, their expression blank.
"Let's discuss this like rational beings. What do Vamps give you? A semblance of life, a crumb to be passed around all of your kind like sacred dew from the Petals of your prophesied futures?
"I can give you true existence. I can help you to evolve beyond what you are to something you never thought you could be."
She solidified half their bodies to show them what she meant, what she was capable of. They flexed fingers that were now corporeal and not ethereal things. Their eyes widened with excitement. Tiffany smiled.
"Walk with me for ten of this world's years and you can go free. Betray me and I will take whatever you gain from me. Betray my Lord and I will kill you."
They did even think about it. Both nodded simultaneously. Tiffany smiled and solidified their entire bodies.
"Come. Let me show you how to enter and exit the collective consciousness. Do not act without orders from myself or one of the Fire Star pack Alphas. Understand?"
They both nodded and Tiffany got to work.
That night Stefan lie in bed listening to Tiffany's report. She had already solidified both Shadelings. They were still spirit beings but they were more at the same time. She also increased their mental prowess and capabilities. Finally she showed them how to enter the collective consciousness and carve themselves out a place, only they could access, within it.
Although there was no place within the collective consciousness that Tiffany could not go.

Amber snuggled in close and then breathed in deeply as if she never wanted to forget his scent. He could not help but wrap his arms around her. Oddly he wanted her close, needed her close. Emotions warred within him as he lifted her mouth to his and kissed her a bit too hard, too forcefully. Still she moaned into his mouth and moved to sit in his lap, facing him.
He shoved his face into her breast as she began to rotate her hips and grind herself into him. He kissed them then sucked on her breast, leaving a perfectly round love bite before moving on to the next patch of pristine supple flesh.
She was his, to do with as he pleased. He could hate himself later. For now he would enjoy this incredible shewolf.
She was incredible wasn't she? Was he a fool for wanting revenge for something her father did? He had already forgiven Margot and Kristof's daughters. Why not Amber as well?
He began to feverishly remove her clothes his fingers digging into soft flesh to pull her to him and gain a good grip.
Who was he kidding? If she knew who he was she would never let him go unpunished. He actually killed her father and he relished it. He would never regret it. She could never forgive that. Should she forgive him for taking her last parent away ^
He slid inside her and tension smoothly flowed from his being as he again got to know her. Know what it felt like to be inside her. Know how she loved to grip him as he slid in and out of her.
Why shouldn't he know every inch of her? They were soulmates after all.
He drove in deeper. Up into her deepest, wettest regions. Her back arched and she lifted her face up to the ceiling and released a deep purring moan. Fine silky hairs sprouted out all over her body and her eyes glistened with her inner wolf and deep pleasure.
Her green fur rippled across her skin as wave after wave of pleasure crested and ran through her being. She was in heat and they both knew it. But neither cared nor had they discussed what should be done.
She wanted his cub but she knew he did not want her like that so she did not allow her body to reproduce. She halted the process before it could happen because she knew she could never kill what was his, not even for him.
Even though her mind dealt with such turmoil her body continued to dive into the bliss of pleasure over and over again. He stood up, still inside her, and laid her down on the sofa. He brought her legs up to him and closed them tight and began to slowly glide in and out of her. Allowing her to know the full length of him and when he could not take it anymore he drove in hard and deep. Her body quivered around him as she climaxed. He did not pull out but only continued his game.
She bit her lip as she quickly moved to climax once again and he responded by doubling his effort.
When finally they were spent he pulled her to him and kissed her neck, her body even trembled from this. With his mouth on her body he asked her something that both surprised her and sent a thrill through her.
"Why do you stop our baby from forming? Clearly a cub is fighting to be. Why deny a strong werewolf existence?"
Had she really been that wrong.
