Ariella
‘She about to sleep all day, with her beautiful ass… Now I understand how she must have felt when I was knocked out…’
I open my eyes and see Davonyé looking back at me. “Boa tarde.”
He smiles. “Good morning to you, too.”
“How do you understand me now?”
He shrugs. “I’on know.”
I shake my head in amazement and then close my eyes briefly as I stretch out my body. I should hurt from everything we did to each other last night, but if anything, I feel ready to go again. I must be crazy tryna play with fire like that, cuz Davonyé’s stamina ain’t nothin’ to tempt. He had nuff before, but now he's a ware, there ain't no hope in hell for me.
He laughs and I know it’s because of my thoughts. “I been waitin’ for you to wake up... You look so beautiful when you sleep. Come shower with me?”
I rest a hand on his face and nod. I'm so happy he's awake. Waking up to him being asleep is something I'm more than ready to forget. “I missed you so much. I know we’re still gettin’ to know each other, but I don't know what I'd do without you anymore.”
“I feel the same, Ari.”
I sigh and decide to give him a warning about his training with dad, cuz his thoughts tell me that he’s wanting to get started ASAP.
“I dunno when dad is looking to start your training, but just be warned that he likes to get deep and personal when it comes to bringing on your change. He uses that shit to make you find your trigger.”
“Personal shit?”
“Yeah… he used you and Carisse being together and me basically being a side chick to get me to change.”
His eyes widen. “He did what?”
“Yeah, calm down, though, it’s fine. It’s just how he does it. It worked.” Ugh…
“The fuck, Ari?”
“It’s okay, honestly, but just be prepared for him to bring up some shit you don’t wanna hear, alright? He don’t mean that shit, though.”
He’s quiet, but I feel his anger at what I’ve just said. His thoughts run wild, too.
He suddenly pulls me into his arms and then gets up to take us to the bathroom. I turn on the water and he walks straight in with me.
I shake my hair out of my face as the spray quickly soaks it, then I look down at Davonyé. He’s still feeling a way. “How do you feel in your new body?” I ask, to take his mind off his current thoughts.
“Good.”
“Any regrets?”
He shakes his head and lowers me onto his length. I moan as I rest my lips on his before tasting him along with the water.
He's slow with the way he moves me against him and my heart aches. Last night was mostly wild, but this... This is different.
I run my nails over his shoulders to the back of his neck and he groans against my lips. I clench inside and deepen the kiss.
I wish we never had to leave this house…

We get out the shower and after wrapping ourselves in towels, I take Davonyé's hand to lead him to the bedroom so he can finally see himself. I stand him in front of a mirror on the wall and then take away his towel.
‘Damn…’
“I know.”
‘Nigga looking buff as fuck right now…’
He really is…
I take in the sight of his body with him, appreciating the magnificence in front of me. His shoulders are definitely broader, and his chest and abs are even more defined.
And his dick is massive.
My pussy clenches and I look back up to his face. He ain’t got white hair like me, but our eyes are exactly the same.
“What do you think?”
He turns around to face me. “What do you think?”
I smile up at him. “I think our schoolwork might suffer.”
“Oh, yeah? I think something else might suffer.”
I bite my lip, but then I suddenly feel his guilt over his sister.
Baby…
I hold his hand and pull him to sit on the bed. “Tell me how you feel.”
“Like I ain't doin’ enough. I wanna be out there looking for her. My Mom...” ‘I gotta get her back alive…’
“I know. I'm hoping dad will start your training today, but I need to talk to you about something first.”
‘What the fuck now?’ His eyes narrow. “Yeah?”
“So... The reason your changed hurt more than usual is because it was a dominant change.”
“A dominant change?”
“Yeah, which basically means that you're a dominant ware, Davonyé.”
“Right, and what does that mean?”
“It means a few things... Like, you ain't gonna like taking orders from anyone, and most wares will automatically sense that you're a dominant, so they'll submit to you.”
“Aight...”
I listen to his thoughts, but I don't think he's grasping it.
“When my dad trains you, things might get a little… heated. You won't be able to help it, but doing shit that other people want you to do ain't gonna be easy for you. Just try...” She sighs... “I don't know what I'm tryna say... I just want you to know that it's gonna be hard for you. My parents are the strongest wares to have ever existed and always will be. As strong as you are, even mom could take you down with one hand. Are you understanding what I'm saying? Dad will respect you, but he's still alpha, and alphas don't take well to insubordinate wares, so even though one day you’ll have your own pack to care for who will obey you, all wares will always submit to my parents, no matter what. That's why mom has her howl. Yes, mom and dad are equals, but it all comes back to mom. She's the one who was born to control all of us. Whether we like it or not.”
‘That’s cool wit’ me.’ “Aight, I respect that.”
I smile weakly. “You say that now, but once that ware instinct kicks in inside of you, you're gonna feel different. Just know that even my grandfather Victorio submits to my parents. It ain't no way and you don't need to be feeling a way about submitting, but only to them. Fuck submitting to anyone else.”
“Oh, yeah?” He pushes me down onto the bed. “And do you like that shit, huh? Cuz your body’s tellin’ me you do.”
I smile up at him. “Of course I do. That shit is fuckin’ hot.”
The blue in his eyes sparkles. “Do you want me to dominate you?”
I nod. “In all ways.”
He growls and I laugh. He shakes his head. “That was a big mistake.”
“Really...”
“Uh-huh.” He rolls me to my front and then snatches the towel off my body. His hands find my lower back and then he kicks open my legs to get between my thighs.
He lowers and I feel his beard on my shoulder before he bites me hard enough to make me cry out in pain. “You want me to fuck you into submission, Bae? That what you want, huh? You want me to take control of your body so you can focus on all that other shit?”
I nod against the bed. My heart is racing cuz I can feel his dick against my pussy and I swear, the anticipation of him pushing it inside me is way too much.
“Tell me.”
“Yes, Davonyé.”
He shifts forward and slowly enters me. I close my eyes and release a relieved sigh. Shit, it's like I needed him and didn't even know.
“I’ll give you anything you want, Ari. You just gotta ask.”
He goes deeper and I gasp. His strokes are owning and he smells so good, too. I lose all my shit; he's got me all the way fucked up.
“I love you, Bae...” he whispers in my ear. “I love you so much, I feel sick because of it.”
My heart flutters. ‘Baby...’ “I love you, too.”

We finally get dressed and make our way downstairs to Tinashe. It’s almost two in the afternoon. She’s looking in the fridge for something to cook, but I know she likes pancakes, so I set the table with some. I make peanut butter waffles for me, though.
“Wow, I wish I could do things like that. I'd save so much time.”
I think that's the point.
We sit down at the table and all help ourselves to food.
“What’s Aura like?” Tinashe asks.
Everyone wants to know what Aura’s like, but that's because she's amazing. Everyone knows it was her that brought my parents back to life, too.
“There ain’t many words that do justice when describing her. But incredible would be one.” I motion to Davonyé. “Davonyé's met her.”
“Really, Von? Wow.”
“Yeah, I don't think she was very happy with me, though.”
I roll my eyes and smile. “He was late to my change, but he still made it.”
She shakes her head at him. “Good job you did, cuz there ain't anything much more important than that in a wares life.”
“Damn traffic,” he mutters, and I feel his annoyance.
‘That don’t matter, Baby.’ “We need to go over to the main house,” I tell them, to change the subject.
‘Does she mean me, too?’ Tinashe swallows her mouthful. “I’ll hang around here.”
“No, you're coming. My parents don’t bite, and you can meet the rest of my family, too.”
“Uh, are you sure?”
“Of course I am.” I finish my waffles and then watch Davonyé eating. He’s puttin’ them pancakes away.
‘You feelin’ Jealous, Bae? You want me to eat you up instead?’ He keeps his eyes down.
Ugh… lawd… let me clear my plate cuz we won’t ever leave this house otherwise.
***
We leave the house after Davonyé eats his body weight in pancakes. He holds my hand tightly and I listen to his thoughts. He's thinking about what we talked about earlier; about the whole dominant thing.
I need him to try come to some kinda agreement with dad, because otherwise mom will have to make him submit, and I don't want that.
And I already know he won’t either.
It’s snowed in the night, and more’s coming. The entire front of my parents’ house is covered in a thick blanket of fresh snow.
“Nice not to feel the cold, huh, Baby?”
He releases my hand to hold me against his side instead. “Yeah, it is.” ‘I still like feelin’ your warmth, though…’
‘Same…’ He is soooooo warm.
We find everyone in the kitchen eating lunch. They all stop talking when we enter. They’re well aware that Davonyé is a dominant; I hear them thinking about it. I can also feel their respect for him as instinct. No one wishes to challenge him, which I’m glad about. Not even dad.
It's weird, cuz even my Uncle Dee is more subdued than usual. I guess they're all adjusting to having another dominant in the group. Don't get me wrong, none of the males here are submissive, but they have all been tamed by Mom's howl so already know their places.
“What’s good, Everyone,” Davonyé says, ignoring the elephant in the room.
The mood in the kitchen relaxes again as they all greet him back.
“Welcome back to the land of the living,” Dad says, getting up from the island with Amarey against his chest. He shakes Davonyé's hand and I watch them both.
“Thanks. It’s good to be back.”
“How you feeling?”
“Different.”
“If I had a dollar for every time someone said that,” Mom says, smiling at us. “And how are you today, Tinashe?”
“I'm good, thank you. Is it okay me being here? I said I'd wait at Ariella's.”
Mom rolls her eyes. “Don't be silly. I already told you how we feel.”
Tinashe smiles and I feel her ease. “Okay, good.”
Mom Introduces her to everyone, and they all welcome her warmly. She gets into a conversation about her hair with Aunt Cecile and I feel glad that something is taking her mind off her worries.
I take Amarey from dad and sit at the island with him and Davonyé. I smile down at Amarey and feel all warm inside. He really is so amazing.
“So when you wanna get this training started?” Dad asks Davonyé.
I look at him beside me at the island. “Soon as. The sooner we get started the sooner I can learn, right?”
Dad nods and then gets back up from beside Mom. “Right. Let's go then.”
Mom smiles at me and I tap into her thoughts. ‘Why are you smiling like that?’
She blinks. ‘Because your father’s looking forward to pressing Davonyé's buttons.’
‘Damn right I am,’ I hear Dad.
‘Oh, God... I thought you said you weren't gonna kill him?’
‘I'm not.’
Davonyé looks at me and I realise he's hearing all this shit, too. ‘You can hear everyone else's thoughts now?’
‘Yeah. I got that skill last night, before you woke up.’
He nods and then stands to look at Dad who’s in the fridge taking out containers of moose to take with them. “What do I need?”
“Yourself.” Dad looks over his clothes. “You might wanna change.”
I change him into black sweats and sneakers, and I place a backpack with spares on his shoulders.
Davonyé turns to look at me. He's smiling. “You are somethin’ else.”
I smile back at him. “I know. You ready?”
“Yeah. You stayin’ here?”
“I might come visit you all later, but for now, it's just you and Dad.”
“Good luck, Von,” Tinashe says, smirking.
“Yeah, good luck,” Uncle Quis says. “Clarence trains hard.”
“So I've heard.”
‘Remember what I told you this morning,’ I remind him. ‘Dad will use that sensitive shit to bring on your change. Just don't take it personal.’
‘Aight.’
“Please don't fight,” I tell them as they get ready to leave.
“Yes, please don't,” Mom agrees.
“All that testosterone,” Aunt Asha says, pretending to shudder.
Ugh... Right.
Davonyé leans down to give me a quick but meaningful kiss. I blush because he's done it right in front of my parents.
His eyes narrow at me once he pulls away. ‘I’on give a fuck.’
“Awww,” Aunt Cecile gushes. “Young love.”
I shake my head. “I'll see you later.”
