Harvest Moon: Bound to My Four Stepbrothers
Jocelyn’s p.o.v. Joey and Jenna had made two ornaments each, one for our own Christmas tree and one for their Grandparents Christmas tree. Jenna had made two almost identical ornaments, while Joey had made two different ornaments. He had really put thought into what he wanted to make and I know they will understand the meaning of it. The doors of the main dining room are open and there is enough room to sit in or outside the Pack-house. Dinner is set up in a buffet style and it means that everyone can enjoy Christmas eve, probably not Mom’s first time to entertain such a large group. I watch in awe as each member of White Mountain Pack gets a small present from their Alphas and I feel Inti next to me stiffen for a second, but it only lasts a second. Whoever got the presents for Little Cresent Pack, put a lot of thought into it. For every male member there is a knife with a Celtic symbol that means new beginnings and for every female there is a bracelet with the symbol on it. The Youngsters and the Pups all get a shirt with that same symbol on the back, they even managed to get it in Faye and Christian’s seize. Jenna and Joey have already put their shirts on, Joey is wearing a dark green shirt and Jenna has a bright pink shirt. Christmas day will also be spend in White Mountain Pack-house, but it will only be the Pack-members of our two Packs. The other Packs will celebrate Christmas day with just their own Pack. Christian and Faye are sleeping in their stroller by the time we are ready to go home and Bennett follows us with Jenna in his arms, the place she had decided to fall asleep in tonight. Joey helps him to put Jenna in their bed, both of them feel better sleeping in the same room and am I to tell them that they can’t. Joseph and I take some time to talk about this connection between us and the only thing we can come back to is that it feels as if a chain is connecting, link by link. No matter which way we turn it, that is where we end up each time and after an hour of getting nowhere we decide to get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day and an exciting day for Joey and Jenna, their first real Christmas. I wake up to a very strange and annoying feeling, almost as if I am getting little shocks every now and then. I try to move away from it, but it doesn’t matter which way I turn. Those darn little shocks are everywhere and the smell of hot chocolate is invading my nostrils. My eyes fly open when I realize that that is how Joseph smells to me and I suddenly understand that the little shocks I feel, are the sparks of a Mate-bond. “Mate, Mine.” Erylis growls in my head and I slowly turn my head up to see that Joseph is still asleep, Jenna sprawled across the rest of his chest. “Joey.” I whisper-yell and I hear soft footsteps approaching me. “Can you take Jenna? I am afraid that she might get hurt when Joseph wakes up, I will explain everything in a little while.” My voice is still a whisper, I remember the stories Mom told me about someone finding their Mate and if I am not imagining things, Joseph might end up tossing Jenna of his chest. Joey seems to understand that this is something private, because he closes the door behind him and I place my hand on Joseph’s chest. Sparks igniting where I am touching him and it feels so good, as they shoot through the rest of my body.“Jenna, stop it.” Joseph mumbles and I slap his chest, that he would think that Jenna would shock him with some sort of device. His eyes fly open and he turns his head towards me, Griffin is near the surface. We both start to smile as Griffin growls, “Mate, Mine.” Erylis pushes forward to acknowledge our bond by growling, “Mate, Mine” in return. His hand slowly moves to my face and the moment he touches my cheek I feel the sparks again, his eyes widen at the realization. “Merry Christmas, Joseph.” I whisper and his lips are on mine in a split second. I know that we don’t have a lot of time, because it is almost time for Faye and Christian to get their bottles. I just enjoy his lips on mine, until we both open our eyes at the sound of our two youngest waking up. “Are you awake?” I hear Indigo ask and after confirming that I am awake, she shocks the shit out of me. “Inti is my Mate.” She says, before she tells me that she is already marked. “Merry Christmas, Luna Indigo.” I reply and I hear her cussing and swearing across the mind-link, she hadn’t figured that one out yet. “What put that smile on your face?” Joseph asks. “Our Luna, who didn’t realize yet that she is a Luna now.” I answer as I look into his eyes and he knows exactly what I am talking about, Inti and Indigo marked one another. “We will sneak off, somewhere during the day and I am going to make you all mine.” Joseph growls in my head and I know that he will find a way for us to sneak off. “Joey, can you come in here?” I call out, I need to explain a few things to him and hopefully this isn’t some sort of a fluke. Hopefully this will be the start of a new way for us to find a true Mate-bond and I hope that many will find their happiness, the same way I did with Joseph. Joey listens to what I have to say and when I am done with my explanation, he jumps into my arms. I can feel that he is very happy and I can even feel Joseph’s emotions a little better. During breakfast we explain things to Herold and he is glad he finally has a Luna, someone to keep an eye on his Alpha. “Maybe if I am lucky, I will find my true Mate-bond the same way the four of you did. Armon and I will keep our eyes and our senses open, we would like to settle down too.” Herold says. Our next step, telling Inti and Joseph’s parents.
