Double-Edged Legends XII

Sabrina felt warm, so very warm as she lied face down on her broken bed with the morning sun shining through the bedroom windows and the feeling of holding David close to her body. Slowly, she woke up to see that she was still in her were form and David was in his human form. Her right arm was holding him softly against the side of her warm bosom. He looked so calm and peaceful as he slept in her arms. Enjoying watching him sleep, Sabrina lied still so as to not wake him. After a while she brushed the side of his cheek with her large thumb. Feeling something furry and soft against his cheek, David slowly opened his eyes and smiled at Sabrina. Having shared the night of their lives, the both of them leaned in and gave each other a soft but long kiss.

"Good morning sweet heart," Sabrina lightly licked his cheek, "how did you sleep?"

"Never slept better." David reached and gently rubbed behind her ears, causing her to moan a bit and slowly kick one of her legs. Getting up out of bed she stretched her naked body, which only added to David's morning wood. At least he was able to hide it.

"Well, I'm heading for the shower." She felt quite sore after what they did last night. On her way to her bathroom she swayed her hips while looking back at David in a "come hither" manor. He stayed in bed for a while until he no longer had anything to hide under the sheets.

Walking into her bathroom, David saw Sabrina's muscular and curvaceous figure through the foggy glass door. Changing as he stepped in, David placed his large padded hands on her abs and pulled her in till her back was against his chest. The warm water flowing over their bodies felt oh so good and relaxing as they began to softly wash one another.

While her two good friends were enjoying each other in Sabrina's steamy shower, Launa slowly opened the bedroom door to wake them up only to see the bed was empty… and take a big whiff the terrible smell the two of them left behind. It was something she had smelled before but not to this magnitude. Quickly, she waved her hand and everything was clean as can be. However, the smell still lingered in the air. Looking at the window she saw that it was broken along with Sabrina's plasma screen TV, by what means was something she didn't want to know. Again she worked her magic with a wave of her hand and they were good as new, though she left the broken bed frame as it was since she ordered another one last night in knowing that the new couple would need something more supportive.

Hearing Sabrina call David "happy hands" and him replying that he knew she "liked it", Launa didn't hesitate to exit the room and get on with her morning.

Being the first to finish cleaning himself, David told Sabrina he would go and prepare breakfast for everyone. Exiting the shower and drying himself off, he felt like staying as a big hulking beast. Even though he had clothes to fit said size and form, he saw one of Sabrina's nice, soft white, cotton bathrobes. Putting it on it felt so amazingly soft and warm, though it was a bit snug allowing him to show a good portion of his ripped chest. He wondered how much of Sabrina's chest would show if she wore it. In addition it was a bit short, but luckily not too short.

Stepping out of the bedroom, David had quite the skip in his step as he whistled to a tune he heard on the radio a few days ago, which Launa easily heard from the living room. He was so happy and deep in his groove that he failed to notice Launa, who had an amused smile seeing him more giddy then ever before, and being in one of Sabrina's bathrobes made the sight even more enjoyable.

Going into the kitchen, David opened the fridge and pantry, taking out what he needed to make breakfast tacos, and large ones at that. When all was ready he sat down at the counter waiting for Sabrina, happily wagging his dark bushy tail.

"Well," Launa walked next to him and placed an arm around his shoulders, "someone's a happy little wolf. Did you have a good night sleep?" David just looked at her with a big smile and a raised brow, wrapping his arm around her neck and gave her the best noogie he could. She laughed a bit when she heard him let out a small yelp as she firmly poked his side. "I'll take that as a yes."

"And I have you to thank, Launa," still joyous as ever he picked her up and gave her a bear hug not caring that the side of his face was against her ample chest, "you're the reason… you're the one who brought Sabrina and me together. I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done for me."

"Awwww," Launa hugged him back, blushing a bit, "you're such a sweet heart, David. You know I'm more than happy to be such a good friend, more than happy for you and Sabrina." Putting her down, he gently took her hand and softly kissed it.

"What did I tell you about wearing my robes." Sabrina had a grin on her face wearing one of hers as well, and David was right… it most certainly showed a great deal of her cleavage.

"Come on, Sabrina," David smiled innocently, "don't you think I look good in this little number?"

"Yeah," Launa agreed, "don't you?"

"Maybe… but you better take it off."

"Oh?" David smirked, "and if I don't." Sabrina leaned in and whispered in his ear. Immediately he ran to get a pair of his own clothes. Launa was honestly impressed.

"Wow, Sabrina," exclaimed Launa, "what did you tell him?" The wolfess looked back at her feline friend with a suggestive grin.

"I just told him what he'll be missing tonight if he wasn't out of my favorite robe in the next ten seconds."

"Hehe, I take it David made your first time a night to remember."

"Oh yes," Sabrina sighed with a more than satisfied look, "he's one hell of a beast in bed." Launa easily assumed as much regarding David performance in bed wrestling, but it made her feel a bit awkward to actually hear it.

Reentering the kitchen along with Azrealle, all four of them sat down and slowly ate the breakfast tacos David prepared, taking their time to enjoy the meal and the moment. David and Sabrina even fed each other a few times. Finally finished eating about an hour later, David offered to clean the dishes while the others got ready for the day. Since there wasn't much for him to clean, it didn't take him long to finish. However, as he was putting them away he saw his reflection in the sink of water he used to rinse what he cleaned; his wolven face, his red and golden eyes looking back at him. He knew he was looking at a happy individual, but he also knew that something was missing in his life… something that every werewolf deserved to have. Draining the sink he dried his hands and sat down on the couch in the living room to wait for the others. Sabrina was the first one to come back ready for the day. Sitting down next to him, she laid her head on his firm and muscular shoulder.

"Sabrina?" asked David.

"Yes, David," replied Sabrina, "what is it?"

"Have you ever," he hesitated, "have you ever been in a pack? A pack of werewolves?" Sabrina removed her head from his shoulder and looked at him.

"Yes… yes I have."

"What's it like? How does it feel?"

"It feels good. Everyone has a part to play in everything you do, and when you work together your minds think as one. It's like being part of a team, but also a family. You feel safe knowing that you're being watched out for no matter what happens. Like with the four of us, but indescribably different." Sabrina saw him look at her confused. "But you need to experience it to truly understand the feeling."

"That sounds," David had a look of both anticipation and envy of Sabrina, "like something I'd like to feel, but I have no idea where to even look for more Tahopka."

"Look for what?" Launa sat in a recliner across from David and Sabrina. Azrealle joined them and sat in her chair as well.

"For more Tahopka. David's asking me about being in a pack. He wants to know what it's like to belong to a group of his own kind."

"That's perfectly understandable," agreed Launa, "but who says it has to be Tahopka? You still know where yours is, right Sabrina?"

"More or less," Sabrina raised a brow, "why do you ask?"

"I think what Launa is getting at is that that might be a good place to start," explained Azrealle, "a pack of a species other than his own is better than none at all. That and it just might help point him in the right direction to find those that may at least help him pursue his cause."

"Hmm, that actually sounds like a good idea," Sabrina turned to David, "how about it, David? Would you like to meet my old pack?"

"R-really," David anxious as ever, "do you think they'd like me?"

"I'm sure of it. They'd have to be stupid not to." Sabrina reassured him with a warm smile.

"Where is it? When can we leave? Should I pack anything?" The three of them chuckled, finding his eager attitude to be more or less adorable. "How long will it take for us to get there?"

"I can get you tickets within the hour," said Launa, "if you leave in a few hours you should land in Alaska in the afternoon, meaning that you should most certainly bring some warm clothing, David."

"Wait, you mean like on an international plane," asked David, "won't I need an ID or a passport or something… cuz I don't have anything like that." Launa picked up one of the magazines on the coffee table and worked her magic to shrink it and change into a legitimate passport.

"You do now." Launa smirked as she handed him his first form I identification he's ever had. "Oh, and Sabrina will help you pack your bags. She has a better idea of what you need to take then any one of us."

Sabrina and David went to their separate rooms to get packed. Looking through his dresser, he took out what he thought would be necessary for the trip: toiletries, two weeks worth of clothing, his best winter clothes and a nice dressy outfit to make a good impression.

"David," Launa entered his room and closed the door behind her, "there's something I need to discus with you."

"Sure thing," he sat down at the edge of his bed and motioned for her to come sit next to him, "what's on you're mind, Launa?"

"Well, first off I can't tell you how happy I am for you, how proud I am of you. You've come a long way since we first met in Churchill, since you walked on my doorstep." She placed a hand on his thigh. "And I really believe that you'll find what you're looking for going to Alaska. However," David could sense her becoming a bit more serious, "while you're away, there's something I want you do to. More for yourself than for any of us."

"Okay. Sure… what is it?"

"You need to do what you can to learn more about what you're capable off as a… after what you became that night back in Canada." Launa saw worry in David's eyes. "Just take some time in Alaska to be by yourself once in a while, but be very careful with yourself."

"O-okay. I can do that I guess."

"What was that?" Launa raised a brow in a serious manor.

"I will do that." David showed confidence in sitting up straight and firmly squeezing her hand."

"Good." Launa looked at what David laid out on the bed to put into his waterproof duffle bag. "Hmm, I don't think you'll be needing this," she hung up his dress clothes, "or this," his toiletries, "or any of these," and all of his casual wear made to grow with him. All that was left were his winter clothes and a few days worth of regular clothing. Not understanding, David scratched and tilted his head, but Launa reassured him that he wouldn't be needing anything else.

With the two voyagers ready, Launa booked them a nonstop flight to Alaska and gave them a ride to the airport. Azrealle joined them of course. When they arrived, Launa led them to where they kept the private jets and pointed out the largest and most luxurious one. David knew he should have expected such as much, but still couldn't help but be surprised. Before they got on Launa told David once more to find out what he can about himself while he's away. That and Azrealle laughed a goodbye hug when David asked if she could fly him there instead. When all byes and best wishes were said, David and Sabrina got on the jet and took off for Alaska.

For the most part, David and Sabrina enjoyed the ride. However, the joy that encouraged David to be in his were form, not that he could be in such quarters, had left him. The first and only time he had been on a plane before that was when he flew from Manitoba to Quebec when he was almost seventeen: a flight that he didn't much enjoy with the airsickness and everything that came with it, or rather out of it. Ever since then he hasn't much cared for flying, even in a plane as smooth as Launa's. Also, David might not be one to yell, but when he heard that the aircraft was able to go just to the edge of outer space he immediately shouted at the pilot to stay no more than two kilometers over the clouds before he ran to the bathroom and saw what remained of his breakfast burrito.

Sabrina on the other hand was most certainly enjoying herself in a lounging chair while lifting some dumbbells and reading a workout magazine while David lay on a couch with ice on his head. He knew that he wasn't physically sick and that it was all in his mind, but it didn't matter knowing how he still felt like shit.

"Oh, thank the goddess!" David got out of the jet as quick as he could after they landed. It was in the afternoon and still a bit chilly. Putting on his winter clothes the two of them made it out into the wilderness. Far enough into the wild and out of people's sight, Sabrina changed into her were form. David wanted to as well, but she told him to stay as a human. He didn't exactly understand why, but he knew following her instructions was best.

It was on it's way to getting late. It was getting a bit darker and they were so very deep into the wilderness, especially after the two of them ran full speed for a good while. Unable to smell anything that gave a hint to civilization told David that this was now a no man's land, like where the Tokala lived, though there was a strange but faint scent in the air.

"Sabrina," asked David, "do you think we'll find them by the end of the day? Maybe we should find somewhere to rest for the night."

"We won't find them," answered Sabrina, with a slight grin, "they'll find us." And sure enough the scent from earlier was strong to the point that David knew it was close by. "Get next to me David." He put himself to her right and stood perfectly still. David could hear something in the trees coming, sounded like a fair sized group. Soon he saw a fair number of superweres come out into the open. Most averaging around his and Sabrina's size, though there sizes ranged from the size of a tall human to unbelievably huge. All of them were wearing long knee length loincloths and the females also had draping tops, unlike David had ever seen before.

"Sabrina," the one in the front approached her with a kind smile, "it's so very nice to see you again." David could tell just from his voice that he was very old, but he still had a very good build and seemed more than decently fit. He was a little taller than Launa and his fur was a mix of silver and white, but had a fair amount of grey around him too. David could see a great deal of wisdom in his eyes. It was plainly obvious that he was the alpha.

"It's good to see you too, Hirage." The two of them exchanged friendly smiles. "It's been a long time… hasn't it?"

"We were wondering if we'd ever see you again." Said one of the wolves behind Hirage, but David didn't see who it was. Sabrina and the alpha just shrugged it off.

"What brings you back here?" Hirage said bluntly, but with courtesy in his voice.

"What," smirked Sabrina, "do I need a reason to come and see my old pack?"

"So… there's no reason?" Hirage raised a brow.

"That's now quite what I said." Sabrina gestured towards David who slowly looked up at the alpha in respect, showing him a greeting smile. He was doing his best to not let his shy side show, and it seemed he was doing well… for now.

Raising a brow and not saying a word, Hirage began to circle David with a curious look about him. Feeling a bit awkward, David stood still while all eyes were on him, as Hirage would occasionally take in a deep breath through his nose smelling him... examining him. Suddenly he felt uncomfortable with the thought of showing them his were form. Looking up at Sabrina, David now understood why she didn't want him to be a werewolf when the pack found them.

"And who might your friend be," Hirage didn't take his eyes off of David, "he seems a little uneasy."

"Oh, he's usually like that with new people," answered Sabrina, "This is David Hemming, he's a really dear friend of mine and he wanted to meet you guys."

"Does he now?" Hirage squatted down till his head was right in front of David's. "And why exctly do you wish to see us so much, David Hemming?"

"I, uuh," David took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "I was hoping you and your pack would be willing to help me know what it feels like to be a pack member. Maybe spend a few weeks with you and your humble pack." The alpha paused for a bit, respecting him being straightforward and honest. "Sabrina's the only werewolf I've met that hasn't wanted me dead and I wanted to meet others like her. But please know I understand if I'm now welcome, it wouldn't be the first time."

"Well, I assure you we don't want you dead, David." Hirage let out a slight chuckle, "It would be interesting to have a normal werewolf around. I've always wanted to learn about other species. So yes, you may stay and visit." For some reason the word "normal" stood out, but David didn't want to press the matter.

"Thank you," David took a respectful bow, "you honor me with your hospitality, Hirage… I mean alpha, no… uuh, sir."

"Hehe, Hirage will do just fine, and don't worry. I'm sure you'll fit in well enough, and soon." After being welcomed by the alpha of the pack, Sabrina began to introduce him to others. They were all pretty friendly, some less open than others but none seemed less than neutral if even that. He was beginning to loosen up a bit, until he was introduced to the last one. She was, at twenty-six feet tall, the largest being he had ever laid eyes on. Her muscles, along with her bust, surpassed all others even proportionally speaking. Every single muscle bulged with amazing power even when she was standing still and relaxed. Against her David's head wasn't even at her knee. If he hadn't been standing back at over fifteen feet away then he wouldn't have been able to see so much as the tip of her muzzle.

"Are you," David decided to be the first one to say anything, "are you always in your larger form, or do you sometimes stay in your regular size?"

"This is my regular size." The large wolfess couldn't help but laugh a bit. "Would you like to see me get as large as I can?" David could tell she was teasing, but something told him she's do it if he asked. Regardless, he could no longer hide the shyness within, causing him to turn a bit red.

"No no no," David held up his hands in kindly turning down the offer, "t-that's okay. No need to st-s-strain yourself."

"Very well, but know the offer is on the table."

"Nice to see you haven't changed, Decenna." Sabrina rolled her eyes and led David away so the two of them could be alone; she could tell that David was beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable. She expected as much from him; even she felt a little uneasy when she first joined the pack, just as most others did. Wanting to comfort him she place him in her lap and leaned his back against her, keeping him warm in the cooling evening air.

"I… I've never felt so emotionally vulnerable in my life, Sabrina," he wiped away the sweat from his brow, "they're all very nice but I feel more out of place than when I first started living with the Tokala."

"It's okay, David," Sabrina nuzzled the back of his head as she rubbed his shoulders, "that's nothing to be ashamed of. I felt the same way actually."

"R-really," David felt a bit more comfortable knowing this, "but Hirage… I know he said I'm welcome and all, but I get the feeling he doesn't trust me."

"Oh he does, he just has a hard time showing it." Sabrina kissed the top of his head. She knew what she said was half true at best, but David needed all the confidence he could get.


"Me… why me," asked Decenna, with a look of annoyance, "why do I have to be the one to watch over him?"

"Because I have a feeling that you'll have the greatest influence over him," answered Hirage, "I need you to make sure he doesn't do anything that we wouldn't want him to. I don't trust a normal werewolf so easily."

"Oh, now that I think about it I actually wish I could," she had a look of sympathy, though not one that was sincere, "but the problem is that I don't want to."

"Then let me put it to you in a different way: either do as I say or stay in your human form over the course of the entire summer, including perigees." Hirage had a firm and unyielding expression, meaning he was as serious as ever.

"Damn it, why can't you get someone like Anz to do this? He could use the extra responsibility."

"Anz is a well valued member of this pack, but this isn't a job for an omega." Standing up straight he began to walk off. "Thanks for agreeing to do this for me, Decenna. I appreciate it."

"Wait," Decenna was clenching her firsts in frustration, "I never said…"

"Goodnight, Decenna." Hirage didn't say another word as he headed for Sabrina, leaving Decenna to her aggravation, leaning against a tree with her arms crossed. Walking up to the two guests, David in Sabrina's warm lap, Hirage cleared his throat to gain their attention. "Sabrina, come with me. David, I would like for you to stay here. There is something I'd like to discuss with Sabrina in private." Sabrina put David down and patted his head, telling him that she'd be back in a bit. Leaving him, Sabrina followed the alpha to a place where they were alone.

"What's the matter, Hirage?" Sabrina already had a general idea, but she had to ask.

"I believe you and David that he wants to know what it's like to be part of a pack, and I'm not saying that it won't happen." Like with Decenna he had a firm and serious tone. "However, I know for a fact that that's not the only reason the both of you are here. I don't know why, but I will find out."

"I… I don't know what you're…" before she could continue Hirage sent her a quick glare as if to warn her of what says next, "Okay, I admit it. We're here for more than for him to be a pack member."

"Good, thank you for being honest," she could tell that he truly was thankful, "now I'd much appreciate it if you would tell me, but I sense that you're not going to no matter what I say."

"Sorry," Hirage could tell that she was too truly sorry, "but David will tell you what you want to know when he's ready, when he's certain that you trust him."

"That's going to be a problem, Sabrina. I don't believe I'll be able to trust him until he tells me. He maybe a gentleman and I know he has a good heart, but those mean next to nothing if he hides his intentions from me, intentions that involve my pack."

"Well then, you'll just have to trust me that what we're looking for is nothing dangerous, and that it won't hurt any of you." Sabrina was returning his stare

"Fine," Hirage let out a sigh, "I can trust you at least."

"So, are we clear, can I go back to him now?"

"Actually, there's one more thing I'd like to talk to you about." He her express some level of confusion. "Tell me what has happened since we last saw you." The both of them shared a good smile as she began to tell him.

Back where David was he looked in the darkening light for some wood to burn; he was starting to feel cold even with his winter clothes, and he didn't intend on sleeping that way. He had tried for a good while to get one started but he just wasn't having any luck… as Decenna could see as she watched him struggling. Finally he just gave up and sat down, shivering in the cold Alaskan night. For a while Decenna just watched him, waiting for Sabrina, but when she saw him shivering so violently she couldn't leave him like that anymore.

"Are you okay, David," she walked up and sat next to him, he nodded, "if you're so cold then why don't you just change, you'll have a big coat of thick fur won't you?"

"N-no, I w-would," David was so cold that his teeth were chattering, "but I d-d-don't feel c-comfortable doing that with y-you guys yet. And I'd r-rather not rip out of these nice clothes."

"Well then, would you like me to help warm you up?" She showed him a small but warm smile.

"H-how would you do that?"

"Like this." Decenna picked up freezing David and held him between her massive left bicep and the side of her bosom, which was barely covered with her draping top leaving him against her fur and no cloth. Although this only made him feel even more awkward than before, he had to admit that the large wolfess was so warm he couldn't care less. Curling up a bit he slowly stopped shivering. "There you go. Is that better, little man?"

"Oh, so much better." He relaxed and rested against the side of her breast. "Thank you so much." Lord was she huge, and just how big she was had been something that David hadn't realized till just now. Seriously… if Takoda was as shy as he was with Launa when he first met her, then there's no telling what he'd do if he met this titan werewolf. "Thanks again. I'm so embarrassed… being from Canada I can usually take the cold."

"Really," Decenna's ears perked up, "I was in Canada when I… during my first full moon. That was ages ago."

"Seriously?" David was so very surprised as he looked up at the white wolfess. "Wow, I've never experienced an example of it's-a-small-world. This is most certainly a first for me." Decenna nodded in agreement, and again her ears perked up.

"Wait, if you're from Canada, how is it that you came to know Sabrina? Doesn't she still live in Europe?"

"Oh she does," David let out a small yawn, he was feeling more snug as a bug the longer Decenna held him between her arm and bosom, "I just met her through a mutual friend, but that's a very long story that I just," again he yawned, "don't have the energy to tell." He felt his eyes getting heavy as he rested his head against the top of her breast. "You can put me down and go off to be with the rest of your pack if you want."

"Oh no," Decenna gave him a gentle squeeze, "I'll stay here to keep you warm till Sabrina gets back from her talk with Hirage. Something tells me it will be a while." Gently nuzzling him with her big muzzle, Decenna found herself being happy that Hirage put her in charge of looking over him, happy to be watching over such a nice young man… and a very handsome one at that. She couldn't wait to see him in his were form, and how long of a loin cloth they were going to need for him.

Sabrina, not to long after, returned from her little catching up conversation with Hirage. When she saw where David was she couldn't honestly say she was surprised where Decenna was holding him, but also understood that it was only to keep him warm. Knowing that she would've likely done the same thing if she was still lived with the pack and Decenna brought a young man back with her. Sabrina was about to reach for David, until she saw that he was fast asleep against Decenna's warm body. Not wanting to disturb her little wolf, Sabrina told her to keep him where he was. Though in her mind she was saying, "You better watch yourself."
