becoming a bear."
"Potentially?"
Lynk walked out into the room wearing only his jeans. "It would depend on how powerful the mate's nature is. Everyone is fairly certain that our nephews will be bears when they turn of age, but if they have more children, some of them may be witches or even hybrids of some kind with traits of both natures." He stopped in front of me, parting my legs enough to slide between my knees and kiss me.
"Hmm," he licked his lips, "apple."
Tavian stirred the stew. "Our children could be either or a combination of fairy and bear."
I felt the need to make a point, so I did. "Children?"
Lynk looked surprised, "You don't want to have children with us?"
Now I knew I really needed to make a point. "I don't know how you bears do these sorts of things, but I need more than a few hot tumbles in the sheets before we start talking about kids."
Tavian grinned and moved next to us. "Do you, little fairy?"
"I do."
They looked at each other for a long moment without speaking and then Lynk turned to me and said, "Us bears would like to ask you to marry us, Shaylee, and then bond with us in a ceremony in front of our den, and then, when the time is right, we'd definitely like you to carry our children."
I narrowed my eyes, enjoying the teasing. "You'd like to ask me to marry you, or you just did?"
Tavian laughed, leaning over to kiss my cheek. "You are too precious, yanna. Of course we'll ask you, but not now."
Lynk squeezed my hands, his eyes bright and happy. "We're connected because of the bond we share as mates, Shaylee, but that doesn't mean that we're in love and that's okay. I know we'll love each other, and however long that takes, when it happens it will be perfectly timed."
"Right," Tavian nodded, "and then we'll ask you to marry us and bond with us, and share our lives."
I smiled at their sweetness and leaned forward, hooking my arms around their necks and drawing them close. "Just so we're on the right page."
"You're the boss." Tavian said.
"Definitely." Lynk said.
Damn skippy. "Good. Now, I'm starving. Two horny were-bears kept me busy all day."
Tavian returned to the stove and Lynk moved away and began to prepare sandwiches to go with the stew. I sipped at the juice. "Are there ever more than three in a mating?"
Tavian looked up from the pot, "There could be three males for one female."
"Wow, three horny were-bears? That would be pussy-melting intense."
They both laughed, shaking their heads. "Has that ever happened before in your den?" I asked, hopping from the counter and setting the table.
"What, a quartet bond?" Lynk looked up from where he studiously stacked sliced turkey and colby cheese.
"Is that what it's called when three bears are called to the same female?"
"Yes, it's extremely rare, though. Normally, it's one male for one female, but occasionally there will be tri-bonds like ours, with two males for one female. And then, very rarely, there will be a quartet bond, with three males and one female." Tavian brought the stewpot over to the table on a coaster.
"It's rare, though?" When the table was set, we sat down together, taking sandwiches and bowls of stew.
"Yes. I can only think of two instances in the history of our tribe, and that's going back very far. One happened after disease wiped out nearly the entire den, leaving only three males and one female. They bonded with her together to save their den. Another time, was a very special female, a rare color and a powerful bear, a princess to her people. She mated with three powerful males from different dens and drew their dens together to form a larger den and that action allowed them to defeat a common enemy." Lynk answered in between bites of stew.
"There sure is a lot to know about were-bears." I sighed, already feeling out of my element.
"Don't worry, lilenta," Lynk squeezed my hand for a moment, "you're not expected to know everything right away and we'll teach you all we can."
