Master Post Part Nine
Things were a little weird. Maybe more than a little. Jensen seemed to get used to the idea of being with Jared as the days turned into weeks. They kissed a lot when alone, and Jared managed to get several repeat-performances of that night, but there wasn’t really any movement on the whole mating thing. Admittedly Jared didn’t mention it out-right, and Jensen seemed to tread around the topic carefully, making Jared reluctant to try and talk about the matter, since he did not want to make the man uncomfortable and was afraid Jensen would back paddle after all.
Times were busy enough after the attack. Once their losses had been mourned, and the bodies buried, the Alpha family had to step up to the plate and show the pack that they had not just won one battle, but that they could also keep the pack safe. Jared was away a lot patrolling, their northern territory borders at night, while Jensen tried to get a hang of his changes. He was getting better at it, and some days he managed to transform at will. Those days he would join a patrol, the others he would stay back, frowning as he watched the wolves leave on their assignments.
Snow started falling only a few weeks after the winds had turned icy, and even the born-werewolf pack members started wearing warm clothes when in their human form. Some were squirming uncomfortably in the clothing, and Jared knew it amused Jensen a lot. The former human kept biting down grins, especially when Jared was scratching the seams of his clothes as they irritated his skin.
They were sitting at dinner after they had come back from a run along the river that was the end of their territory to the east. There had been nothing out of the ordinary, and the smells had revealed nothing but the usual wildlife. Jared was scratching the collar of his wool shirt. The material was a lot more irritating than the lighter summer fabrics, at least in Jared’s eyes.
He could hear a snort from a few yards away where Jensen was lying on his stomach by the fire. He had done fine that morning, turning into a wolf, but it seemed that turning back was not as easy that day. Green lupine eyes looked at Jared, and he was pretty sure that Jensen would have rolled his eyes at him had he been human. Even without lips Jared could practically see the smirk.
“You laugh all you want, Jen. At least I can eat my food with a fork.”
The glare was obvious and made Jared chuckle before he concentrated on his food once more.
“You’re really cruel teasing him like that.” Chris sat down next to Jared with a grin on his face that betrayed his words.
“Just trying to motivate him.”
Chris just shook his head, laughing, before starting to fill Jared in on the boring reality that were border control reports.

“So if the weather keeps getting colder that part of the woods will be a death-trap.”
“Well then we at least don’t have to patrol it anymore.”
Jared was deep in conversation with Chris, when he heard a loud growl by the fire a bit away. He frowned turning around quickly as he recognized Jensen’s - albeit wolfish - voice. He did so just in time to see the said werewolf turn into a human and stand up face angry. “Stop it, for god’s sake.”
Jensen was glaring at a young she wolf that stood before him with a frustrated look on her face, before turning quickly and walking over to Jared and Chris. If he didn’t know any better, Jared would think he was fleeing from the girl.
“What’s going on?” Jared raised one eyebrow at the man as he came over, shivering due to standing naked in the snow.
“I’m sick of it.” He shot a last glare over his shoulder while unconsciously leaning against Jared for warmth. “I thought they would stop coming on to me when they knew that I belong to you.”
Jared’s heart stopped for a second at Jensen’s words, and he looked down at the man with wide eyes. “What?”
“The alphas.” Jensen gave him a look that suggested Jared was possibly a little daft - which maybe he was considering that his brain was still busy reciting that “I belong to you” part over and over again. “They are still hitting on me, even though they should know we’re together.” He looked annoyed, and cold, and Jared slipped his arm around the man while still staring at him in wonder.
“But you’re not”, Chris said matter-of-factly shrugging.
“What?” Jensen looked half offended and half confused. “What are you talking about? We are…”
“You might do stuff”, Chris answered with a vague gesture of his hand, “But you’re not mated. For the pack that means you’re just two single males fooling around.”
“But… The Alpha gave us permission.” Jensen looked slightly horrified at being described as someone fooling around.
“Yeah, he gave you his blessing to mate, but you haven’t. That is kinda obvious.”
“Obvious? What’s obvious?”
“That you don’t want to be mates.” Chris was giving Jensen a stern stare. Jared knew that the other man knew better than that, but as he felt Jensen’s arm tighten around him, he was pretty sure what the other wolf was doing. Chris was nudging them - or rather Jensen - into the right direction. Hard.
“Who said that?” Jensen’s head snapped around, and he looked at Jared with wide eyes.
“You said you wanted to be mates.”
“I do”, Jared said honestly. “I just don’t want to pressure you. You were so uncomfortable with this whole thing from the beginning. Who cares if they think we don’t want to be mates.” Of course Jared did, but he wouldn’t admit to it. He wanted to shout it from the mountains, but instead he shrugged.
“But I want to be mates.” The words flew out before Jensen took a moment to think what he was saying. As he realized he turned beet red.
Jared heard Chris chuckle triumphantly before he walked away, but he couldn’t take his eyes off Jensen. “You do?”
“Yes.” This time Jared really didn’t mind the 'are-you-daft?' look.
Jared wanted to whoop with joy but settled for laughing quietly and engulfing Jensen into a huge hug that the man melted into easily. They stayed like that for a long moment, until Jared felt his beta shiver against him. “You’re freezing. Let’s go inside.”
There were several reasons he wanted to go inside, only one of them was the saving of Jensen’s toes.
+++
Jared smiled, kissing Jensen within an inch of his life in his private Den. They were huddled under the blankets, and Jared, who had itched to take off his annoying clothes since the second he had seen Jensen in his naked glory, had immediately undressed to snuggle up with his beta.
Jared’s hands were running along the sides of Jensen’s body, feeling every ridge of muscle as he moved. “Are you sure?”
“What?” Jensen blinked his eyes open, slightly disoriented.
“Are you sure you want to be my mate?” Jared’s heart stumbled for a moment as he imagined that Jensen might have changed his mind.
He must have tensed up, the nerves showing on his face, because Jensen rolled them so he was on top, smiling down at him, hands combing chestnut bangs out of hazel eyes. “I am.”
Jared could feel the relief flood through him, literally. “Thank god.” He reached up taking hold of Jensen’s short hair, kissing him hard and deep, until Jensen lowered himself down to lie fully on Jared. They kissed and groped for a long while, safe in the routine of many nights before.
It turned Jared on immensely, did so every time, and when Jensen’s hips ground into his arousal, he growled loudly and flipped them around one more time pinning Jensen to the bed with his superior body size and holding his arms tightly to the mattress next to his head. Jensen panted looking up at him with blown pupils and pulling on the restraining hold as he leaned up, trying to nip on Jared’s jaw.
“Let’s not waste any more time. I want you to be mine.”
“I am.” Jensen spoke with such utter conviction on his face that it made Jared’s heart flutter.
“I want everyone to know it. I want them to smell it on you. Nobody shall ever think that you could be theirs again. You’re mine.” The possessiveness that ran through Jared was pure alpha, and he had fought it for so long that it was pulsing out in waves.
“Yes.” Jensen nodded terribly aroused by Jared’s declaration of ownership.
“Let’s make it official.” Jared pressed one knee between Jensen’s legs, grinding against his arousal and biting the side of Jensen’s neck.
“How? I’m not sure…” Jensen’s words were insecure, but his actions defied that. He arched up against Jared’s body, using his still held arms as leverage to lift off the mattress nearly completely. That wanton response made Jared groan with want, and he pushed against the other man with his full body weight.
“I’ll take care of you. Just trust me.”
Jensen nodded, mewling as Jared let go of his arms to flip him onto his stomach, lying on top of him. Jared bit and kissed his way over Jensen’s broad shoulders and spine, rubbing himself against the swell of Jensen’s ass.
“Don’t move.”
A frustrated groan escaped Jensen as they lost contact. Jared slip off the bed and grabbed a small bottle of oil from the wardrobe before slipping back into bed. Jensen hadn’t moved, and as a reward Jared leaned over his shoulder kissing him at an odd angle. His hands scrambled to open the bottle and slick up his fingers with the oil before setting the open bottle down on the bed stand.
“Relax.” It wasn’t more than a whisper of lips on lips but Jensen closed his eyes and his muscles seemed to uncurl as ordered while Jared nuzzled the short hair at the base of his skull, teeth scraping the nape of his neck as his oiled fingers made their way between Jensen’s buttocks, caressing and teasing before pressing in. Jensen moaned, breath hitching as he pressed his forehead against the bed. Jared took his time caressing, moving slowly and carefully stretching Jensen while breathing heavily against the back of his neck.
“God…” Jensen pressed backwards against his hand after what felt like hours of Jared’s fingers moving inside him panting heavily. “Stop teasing, Jared.”
A predatory grin spread over Jared’s face, and he bit Jensen’s ear playfully before pulling away to grab the bottle once again and slick himself up properly.
“Get up on your knees, Jensen.”
Jensen groaned as if any kind of movement was absolutely impossible to ask but quickly scrambled to crouch on all fours. Jared leaned over, kissing him once more with a straining neck before pressing in slowly, one hand gripping tight to Jensen’s hips. Jared stopped only an inch in, breathing deeply, and trying to get a hold on himself. His fingernails raked slowly over Jensen’s back, and he could feel the skin under his hand shudder, while the man relaxed around Jared reflexively.
He started to move then, pressing in further, slowly and pulling back a little before repeating.
Jensen sighed as Jared finally started moving and pressed backwards to meet his lover, swearing a little under his breath. They rocked together carefully for a while, and Jared leaned forwards licking and biting Jensen’s shoulder once more. It was impossible not to want to taste every single freckle on the man’s body. The change of angle made Jensen jerk and moan loudly, and a grin flickered over Jared’s face. That was a reaction he liked very much.
Jared thrust again, getting more confident as Jensen pushed back hard against him, seemingly craving the contact and making the sweetest mewling noises. “Oh fuck. Harder.”
Laughing at the pure gravel in Jensen’s voice, Jared angled his hips to that very spot again that had gotten Jensen all riled up and started moving faster and deeper. Jared growled, biting the back of Jensen’s neck hard, eliciting a startled shout from the man beneath him.
Jensen growled deep in his throat, and, without much of a warning, his body moved beneath Jared, making the rhythm of his thrusts falter, and Jared groan as he tried to stop himself from coming then and there as Jensen writhed around him. Suddenly he had soft fur under his fingers.
“Oh shit.”
Jared stared down for a moment still moving uncoordinatedly before growling deeply as his instincts washed over him, and he followed his partners example. All dams broke as Jared’s senses were flooded with the smell of their activities, and he started to move fast and hard, making Jensen pant and whine as he pushed back to meet every stroke. Jared nuzzled Jensen’s neck, hot breath panting next to his ear as he felt his orgasm approach hard and fast. It hit him full force, and he bit down on the nape of Jensen’s neck hard enough to taste blood, but careful to not cause any serious harm.
The sharp pain in combination with the strong thrust of Jared’s body carried Jensen over the edge with him, and they stayed connected for a long moment, trying to catch their breaths while Jared gently licked the blood off Jensen’s neck. When he pulled away, he fell sideways, changing back and reaching out long fingers to trace Jensen’s face. He couldn’t help chuckling as the happy daze still had a grip on him.
“You have the most fucked up timing, Jensen… but it was kinda hot.”
He pulled his lover down to him snuggling against the warm body and burying his nose in the soft hair of the wolf’s coat.
+++
“I love you, you know that?” Jared had Jensen’s chin between two fingers and was staring straight into his mesmerizingly green eyes.
“Yes. I love you too.”
They didn’t say it much, didn’t really need to, but right now Jared was more than happy for the reassurance. He leaned down, sealing his lips to Jensen’s before resting his forehead against his mate’s. Mates. They had been that for a few months now, all through winter, but it still felt amazing to think of the other man as such.
“Are you ready?” Jensen gave Jared an encouraging smile while straightening out the collar of his fine shirt. Jared felt like a clown wearing it but they had agreed that they should look respectable.
They were at the court Jensen had grown up in, about to meet with the king and his council to continue the negotiations of last fall. Jared was ambassador for his father, and Jensen had come along as liaison, since he knew exactly how the humans ticked. They didn’t flash their relationship in front of the humans; that would be very unwise. But due to the catastrophic outcome of the last peace talks all wedding proposals were off the table. Still they would find a way to make peace. Jensen made Jared believe in that.
“Yeah. I’m ready.” Jared smiled, laying one last kiss on Jensen’s mouth before opening the door and letting Jensen lead him to the council room.
