Healing, Hugs, and Hunts

Harry woke up slowly and felt amazing. His muscles felt well used and his body was perfectly sated. He was sporting a new claim mark and quite happy about it. The feel of the new soulbond thrumming nicely between him and his new Joker was invigorating. He was still firmly pressed between Donovan and Varon. With all of that nice stimulus and content, he decided he would not be going out to The Pits or anything today or maybe even tomorrow.

He was going to go through favors with Luna and Draco and just spend the day with his bonded and his family.

"Good morning, Princeling," Varon said and kissed him soundly. Donovan stirred on his other side and pressed a kiss to his exposed shoulder.

"Good morning, My Jokers. Did you both sleep well?" Harry asked as they each pressed lazy kisses to different parts of his face, back, and shoulders. They both made sounds of agreement and Harry chuckled.

"What are your plans for the day," Varon asked. Harry searched his Joker's face.

"You have to leave," Harry said a bit disappointed. The Joker kissed him again.

"Yes, but only so that I can report in with my captain and your Uncle about what occurred last night during the Reaping and about our new bond. Then I will be granted at least the weekend off to settle our bond properly. So I shouldn't be gone longer than an hour or two tops," Varon informed him. "Is that acceptable? I can always take you with me if your instincts are not settled enough for me to leave so soon."

"That's ok. I don't need to go with you, but I do need you to return as soon as possible. I am thinking about spending the day at my parents with my sister so that we can sort through favors together. But I still wanted to be around you for the most part," Harry replied to him.

"I promise to be as quick as possible. Then I can spend the day relaxing with you and getting to know all of the people you are bonded to. Like Donovan, I don't see myself bonding with anyone else in your circle but I would like to get to know them all better to make life easier for us all," Varon stated.

"We have already let him know that at least with his Jokers. They may only ever bond to him and no one else. That especially with a Joker it could take years if we ever consider bonding with another person in the circle," Donovan added to the conversation. Harry nodded.

"I don't expect anyone to go against their instincts but I do expect everyone to conduct themselves like the adults we are and not like uncontrollable children," Harry said firmly.

"Also, I noticed something about your Merrow suite. There are two storm Gheyo with them right?" Varon asked. Harry nodded. He knew some Merrow had issues with mixed circles he was hoping that wasn't what this was. He felt Donovan grunt behind him and he glanced behind him just in time to see him shake his head no. Varon glared at him.

"What is it?" Harry asked them both. He shifted so that he could see both of them.

"You need to call your Merrow Ace in here right now. I don't know what is going on but I have an issue with keeping things from you that could unsettle your instincts and this needs to be addressed," Varon nearly growled with Donovan glowered at him. Harry was beginning to get upset. It was starting to look like at least some of his bonded had been keeping things from him. He tugged on his bond to Glynn probably a bit more harshly than he should have because the Merrow Ace ported straight into the room they were in with a blade drawn.

"What is the matter, Harry," Glynn asked when he realized there was no threat in the room. He saw the glare on Varon's face and the blank look on Donovan's. When Harry turned toward him he looked really upset.

"I don't know, but apparently there is something going on. Varon tried to talk to me about something that has to do with your suite and Donovan tried to make him shut up. I want to know what is going on right now," Harry told him in a soft voice. Glynn sighed and sat down in a chair next to the bed.

"It isn't anything to get worked up over, Love. Adad and Styrmir did not bond into my suite. They are working with us without any issues and everyone's instincts are mostly settled by it. But, essentially you have two incomplete suites," Glynn explained to him. Harry just stayed quiet for a few moments so that he could process what he was saying. Then he was angry.

"You mean to tell me that you have kept something from me that could affect the way that I am Hunting? Do you have an issue with them being Storm Gheyo and not Merrow? Is that why? What if I had found an Ace that they were not compatible with? What if I had decided to bond with a Fire King or Princess? It would have made things worse," Harry demanded. Glynn made a face that let Harry know that for some reason they hadn't thought of those things.

"I am sorry, Submissive. I did not think about how it could possibly affect your Hunting. I was only thinking about keeping your instincts as settled as possible. It is not because they are Storm Gheyo, I swear. It just didn't feel right to any of us for them to be part of our suite but we didn't want to put any extra stress on you. You are absolutely right that we could have made things worse. I am so sorry, Submissive," Glynn answered him honestly.

"How many knew outside of your suite and Donovan?" Harry demanded. He wanted to know how many people had kept this issue from him.

"None, Submissive. We didn't tell anyone. We didn't even tell Donovan, he just overheard us talking about it a few days ago and I asked him not to say anything to you so that I could be the one to talk to you about it," Glynn insisted. Harry still didn't like how bad this could have ended up being because they had not been honest with him.

"I hope you understand just how badly this could have affected my Hunt. Keeping things from me will never work in your favor. I have been manipulated and lied to by omission and lied to straight to my face my entire life. I am very disappointed by this and extremely hurt. My soulscream happened almost a month ago any of you could have come to me at any time and explained to me what was going on. What if I had decided not to Hunt? How long would your instincts have been satisfied with your current situation? Probably not as long as you thought considering Varon noticed right away that something was wrong. Never and I mean never keep things from me again not even if you think it is for my own good," Harry reprimanded them.

Then he got up off the bed and grabbed Varon's hand. He pulled Varon into the connecting bathroom and into the very lavish bath. They were on the lower floors of the house so down here things catered more to the Merrow. Varon pulled him into his arms and just held him tightly. Harry was stiff for all of five seconds before he melted into the hold and promptly started crying. Varon just held him and let him feel what he needed to.

"I am sorry to have caused you pain," Varon said once Harry was through crying. Harry looked at him like he was crazy.

"You didn't cause me pain. You simply wanted to ask a question about something you noticed. I am glad that you did. The situation may have caused me pain but you did not. Them keeping this from me could have potentially caused us a lot of trouble. I am grateful that you noticed something wrong and brought it up. Now I can adjust the way I was hunting. I was hunting for only a Ace-King-Queen triad to add but now I will have to hunt for a Prince and Princess as well. I can not leave Styrmir without a Prince or a complete suite," Harry explained his line of thought.

"What are you going to do about all of it?" Varon asked. He knew that Harry was new to being a Dragel and to dealing with issues within the circle.

"I am going to talk to my Alpha and Hadrian. The two of them will decide on a proper punishment for those involved in hiding things from me. Once their punishment is complete I will let it go. If it happens again we will have issues that I don't even want to consider. Then I will speak to my Ethan and Hadrian about the best way to adjust my Hunt. I need a King and Princess to fit into Glynn's suite and I need an Ace, Queen, and Prince that will complement Adad and Styrmir," Harry thought out loud.

"I think your best bet is to Hunt for the suites on separate days. Take Adad and Styrmir with you one day to The Pits and Hunt with them so that anyone you choose knows right off that you are looking for Gheyo to complement the ones you are already bonded to. It isn't traditional but it isn't unheard of either. Sometimes things just happen. The next day you hunt with Glynn and your Merrow to find a King and Princess that he is satisfied with. It will be fine and not as complicated as it could have been if you had decided to accept claim marks with someone other than a Joker," Varon explained to him.

"That does sound less complicated when you put it that way. Thank you for talking to me and helping me settle myself," Harry said. Varon pulled Harry's face up to his neck.

"Go ahead and bite, it will help soothe you further. Then we can go to breakfast," Varon insisted. Harry nodded and sank his teeth into the Joker's neck. The buzz of power and magic that flowed through him was always so exhilarating when he fed from his Merrow. Varon was even more so. He tasted wild and powerful. Harry was pretty sure that he was sparking just a bit when they were finished and had gotten dressed to head to breakfast.

The room was empty when they came back out. Which Harry was grateful for. He stumbled over his own feet a few times trying to move too fast from the blood high he was on. Varon just laughed and picked him up. Harry giggled and enjoyed the magic that was sparking between them where they were touching. When they reached the dining room, Varon deposited Harry into Bill's lap and chuckled when Bill made a noise of surprise at the magic sparking between them.

"Enjoy yourself this morning?" Bill asked. Harry shrugged and snuggled as close to Bill as he could get. He buried his face in the Alpha's neck and gave a small whine. His arms wrapped around him and he moved so that he was straddling Bill. The Alpha held him tightly and looked up at Varon in question. "A comfort feed then. Not for fun. What happened?" Varon went to answer but Hadrian placed a hand on his shoulder and shook his head.

"Might I suggest waiting until after we have eaten, Alpha?" Hadrian stated as a question. They had all been abiding by the no issues at meal times rule so far. Bill took a deep breath and nodded.

"Right, of course, thank you for the reminder, Hadrian. We will discuss this after breakfast," Bill said and Varon nodded. Bill then returned his attention to Harry. "Are we going to have issues with our breakfast today, Trouble?"

Harry shook his head no and went to move so that he was facing the table but Bill stopped him. Harry chirred softly at him in question.

"You can stay just like this, Trouble. I will feed you. Will that make it easier?" Bill asked. Harry smiled up at him and kissed him chastely on the lips.

"Thank you, Bill," Harry said with a relieved sigh. He felt fingers card through his hair and looked up into Theo's beautiful golden eyes. "Morning Theo," Harry said with a smile.

"Morning, Princess," He leaned down and kissed Harry on the head and only jumped a little at the magic that sparked between them. "Did you enjoy your hunt last night?" Theo asked as he sat down next to Harry and Bill. Harry smiled excitedly.

"Oh, it was so much fun, Theo. I had the best time. I got to see our Gheyo fight and they are magnificent. Mooney and Siri were there as well as Granddera and Grandmera," Harry excitedly told Theo and Bill all about it while Bill and Theo fed him his breakfast. Bill was grateful that Theo had managed to distract Harry so smoothly with something that kept his mind off of whatever had upset him already this morning.

It had something to do with the Merrow Suite because the entire suite looked distressed and said almost nothing throughout the entire meal. Varon was sitting on Bill's other side and he would occasionally stroke Harry's arm or hair distractedly as he sent small glares at the Merrow as well. Definitely something wrong there then. When they were finally finished eating Bill changed the topic of conversation.

"Want to talk here or in my office about it?" Bill asked Harry.

"Your office, please. I want Hadrian to come as well," Harry said quietly. "Theo, Caelus, and Varon can come too if they aren't busy." Varon drew his attention to him.

"I must go, Princeling. I need to report to Crimson Tide and your Uncle about last night and our bonding. I am going to request the next week off to settle in with you properly but I don't know how likely that will be to happen since it is The Hunt. I will be back home to you as soon as I am able. I am also going to let Our King know that your Merrow may not be returning to the water until later today if at all this weekend, depending on what your Alpha and Hadrian decide," Varon told him quietly. Harry nodded and kissed Varon goodbye and then he was heading back down to the lower levels to port away.

"Hadrian, will you take Harry to my office and wait for us?" Bill asked. The Shadow Ace nodded and came forward. He picked Harry up out of Bill's arms and chuckled at the sparks of magic that danced between them.

"Morning, Kitten. That is a powerful Joker you claimed. All that lovely magic sparking off of you feels fantastic," Hadrian said and strode out of the room with Harry talking teasingly with him.

Bill turned to Theo and nuzzled him loveling before pressing a kiss to his lips.

"Good, Beta. You distracted him quite nicely. Will you be coming with us?" Bill asked. Theo blushed slightly and nodded his head. He wanted to know what had happened. "Caelus?" The Rheyo had been sitting on the other side of Theo and had heard everything. He nodded as well. Then Bill turned his attention to the others around the table.

"Those of you involved in whatever it is that has upset our Submissive stay on the island. We will be talking about this when I am through talking to him about it," Bill said in a hard commanding voice. "If I am not obeyed in this there will be severe consequences. Am I understood?"

"Yes, Alpha." Was heard around the table and then Bill pulled Theo to his feet and Caelus followed quickly behind as they headed to Bill's office. When they entered, Harry was sitting on Hadrian's lap. Hadrian was touching and kissing Harry on random patches of exposed skin and Harry sighed and chirred every time the magic sparked between them. Bill could tell the two of them were enjoying themselves a little too much for the current situation.

Bill had felt that magic spark across his bare skin and it felt like electricity it wasn't painful but it also didn't affect him the way it was apparently affecting their Shadow Ace. Bill had a feeling Hadrian was going to enjoy intentionally getting Harry hyped up on Merrow blood and then having his way with him.

"He sparked like this last night, too," Hadrian said when he finally made himself stop teasing their little Submissive.

"Did he take blood?" Bill asked curiously as he sat down at his desk. Hadrian shook his head no.

"He just lowered his barriers and gave himself over to his Ferros nature. There was so much magic in the air last night and it just seemed to seep into his skin. He was sparking by the time we were halfway through the night. Donovan and Varon enjoyed it quite a bit. As did I," Hadrian informed them. "He caught the eye of quite a few Dragel last night. Including Lord Aiden. I imagine the amount of favors he is going to receive increased by quite a bit after they saw him in action last night."

"I bet he was magnificent. I would like to see the memories of it one day if you don't mind," Bill asked. Hadrian nodded and held a vial out. Bill took it with a smile and put it in his desk.

"Such a thoughtful, Ace," Bill praised and then he sighed. "Hate to ruin the mood but, Harry, Love, we need to talk about what upset you this morning and what it has to do with the Merrow."

Harry frowned and then explained everything to them that he had learned that morning. He told them what Varon had suggested for him to do to adjust his Hunting.

"Do you have an idea about how you want to handle their punishment for this?" Hadrian asked Harry. He shook his head no.

"I trust you and Bill to make the best decision regarding the situation. I want them to understand that manipulation and omission of the truth are just as bad as outright lying. And that I will never be ok with any of it. This is very serious if it happens again I don't know if I will be able to forgive it. I have a right to know about the things in my life that affect me. I know that I am younger than all of you but it is important for me to know that I am respected by the people who claim to love and care for me. To me, keeping things from me even if you think it is for my own good shows me that you do not have respect for me," Harry tried to make sure they understood how important this was to him.

"We understand, Submissive," Caelus soothed and leaned down to place a hand on each of Harry's cheeks so that he was looking him right in the eyes. "We do respect you and we understand that what has happened has upset you and you have every right to feel that way. Our Alpha and Ace will take care of it for you so that everyone knows exactly what it means to you and how it has affected you. Trust us to take care of it for you." Harry nodded and smiled brightly at his Rheyo. He leaned forward and kissed him and delighted in the spark that jumped between them.

"I think he is doing it on purpose at this point," Bill said with a laugh. "Harry, is there anything you wanted to do with your day? I know that you were planning on going to The Pits is that still your plan?"

"No, I want to hang out with my siblings today if they aren't busy. At least Luna and Draco. I want to go through Favors with them. So maybe Ethan as well. He is so smart and knows about everything," Harry answered.

"Why don't I send a message and see if they are busy? Ethan has all of your favors put away for you so let him know when you are ready to go through them. I will let you know when they reply," Bill told him. Harry nodded and squirmed in Hadrian's lap. The two of them had still been teasing each other with sparks of magic the entire time they had been talking. Harry was ready to demand that he be taken to a room to play with his Ace.

"Call Wikhn and Aither. They will enjoy the shocks as much as I do and they will keep you distracted until we hear back from your sister," Hadrian said with a chuckle. Harry quickly tugged on those bonds and waited until there was a knock on the door. Caelus opened it with a wicked grin and let the two Gheyo into the room.

"Did you need us, Submissive?" Wikhn asked with a smile. Harry nodded.

"He is still hyped up on Merrow blood and it has had a lovely side effect. I still have business to discuss with our Alpha but I assured him that the two of you would very much enjoy spending time with him and taking advantage," Hadrian said. Harry held his arms out to Wikhn who grinned wickedly and growled at Harry when he felt the magic spark against his exposed skin.

"Lovely," Wikhn growled at him. Harry trilled and sighed happily when Aither reached out and gripped the back of his neck. He pulled Harry close and growled as well when he received a shock against his lips.

"We are happy to distract our Submissive while you handle business, Ace. Thank you for the pleasure," Aither said. Then Harry was being carried out of the room in Wikhn's arms and Aither close behind. When the door closed behind them, Bill chuckled.

"Good choice. They looked supremely eager to play with him. They will keep him distracted while we figure out what kind of punishment is appropriate. Let me send a message to Harry's family first about him coming over."

Bill activated a message bubble.

*To the Evanson-Malfoy Circle immediate vicinity. This is Bill. Harry would like to know if you have any plans today and wanted to know if he and Draco could come over with a few of our bonded to sort through favors with Luna. Please get back to us and let us know if that is possible today. Thank you.*

He sent his message off and then turned to the others. Theo stood.

"I am going to leave this discussion to the three of you. I don't have enough knowledge at this point to help contribute to a proper punishment for Gheyo. I am going to do some paperwork that has gotten behind since the Hunt started since there are no plans to leave today," Theo told them and then excused himself from the room. Once it was only Bill, Hadrian, and Caelus left they got down to business.

"First thing I am going to suggest is another circle meeting to discuss how Harry feels about withholding information. This is something that means a lot to him and everyone needs to know how badly it would hurt him," Caelus suggested. Bill and Hadrian nodded.

"We will do it tomorrow," Bill agreed. "Hadrian since you have the most knowledge and experience here what is your suggestion?"

"The Cunninghams have a gauntlet that they use to train and punish disobedient Gheyo. I have had to run it myself a few times and it is not fun. I suggest making them spend a day running through the gauntlet," Hadrian suggested. "Jascha will let me borrow it."

"That sounds good. Is it sufficient?" Caelus asked.

"I think two days away from Harry to think about how badly they hurt him. Hopefully between the two things they will understand and it won't happen again. Harry is right. What they did could have affected his hunt in a bad way. I am thankful that Varon noticed and said something," Bill stated. Hadrian chuckled.

"He is something else. Harry definitely has high standards and good taste for the Gheyo he has brought to us. He is an amazing fighter and fits right in. He is also hyper aware of Harry and the things around him in a way that makes me trust him implicitly with Harry's safety. It is probably why it took him a mere few hours to notice what was going on with Glynn's suite," Hadrian offered his opinion.

"Do you think Alec knew? It might hurt Harry quite a bit more if Alec knew what was going on and didn't say anything," Bill said with a sigh. That could be bad if he was.

"If he was, are you going to handle his punishment the same way? He is technically a Gheyic Pareya," Caelus asked.

"Yes, Merrow are different from the rest of us. Fighting is something that all of them are taught. Not just their Gheyo. He will suffer the same punishment and probably worse if Harry's uncle finds out about it," Hadrian said firmly. Bill nodded.

A message bubble appeared in front of Bill. It was from Narcissa letting him know that the family planned on spending the day at home other than Lucius and Neville. They were going to be spending some time out of the house together with a few other Alphas that they had been getting to know. Luna was excitedly waiting for Harry to arrive so that they could go through Favors together.

"Well, let us go while Harry is happily distracted and deal with this," Hadrian said and stood. Bill and Caelus stood as well. They left the office and headed to the sitting room. When they got there the six Gheyo they were looking for were standing or sitting around the room. Alec was there as well and that made Bill a bit upset. Harry was going to really hurt about that one.

"Don't look at me like that, Alpha. I was not involved. I only just found out. I am here so that I can make sure that whatever you have decided to punish them with is sufficient. Afterward, I will decide whether or not to get my cousin involved," Alec snarled. Good that made Bill feel so much better.

"For now, Alec. We want to keep it a circle matter. If it happens again however we will let King Alcandor and Prince Laurent have their pound of flesh," Bill stated. Alec nodded and then quite shockingly he came up to Bill and nuzzled him under the chin. Bill wrapped his arms around the Merrow and nuzzled his cheek and pressed a kiss to his head. Clearly the situation had distressed the Merrow enough that he needed the affection and wasn't willing to take it from the other Merrow just now. He let Alec stay pressed against him for as long as he needed. By the time Alec pulled away Brishen had entered the room.

"Why don't you go and have a cuddle with, Brishen. I love the cuddle and would love for another when you are willing to allow it. But his water element can ground you much better than I can," Bill said gently. Alec nodded and sent another fierce glare at those who were in trouble. Brishen opened his arms and quickly ushered Alec out of the room as soon as he was tucked against him. Then Bill turned to the others.

"You have the right to tell you side and give us your thought process on why you kept it hidden," Bill stated and then they waited as Glynn explained exactly what had happened and why he had done it. It aligned with what Harry had already told them.

"Donovan only found out about it two days ago, Alpha. He wanted to tell Harry right away but I convinced him to give me a few days to talk to Harry myself about it. I do not believe that he should suffer the same punishment as the rest of us," Glynn added.

"Is that true?" Bill asked the Joker.

"Yes, Alpha. I only found out because I overheard them talking about it. When I confronted them about it being a bad idea to withhold that kind of information, Glynn asked me to allow him the opportunity to fix it himself. I agreed but told them if he waited longer than a couple of days that I would tell Harry myself," Donovan explained.

"Then we will discuss it with Harry and determine if he thinks that you should have a punishment at all," Bill replied. Donovan bowed.

"Thank you, Alpha," Donovan stated.

"As for the rest of you, Hadrian and his suite will enforce and oversee your punishment. The three of us have discussed and agreed upon an appropriate punishment. There will be a circle meeting to discuss this as well to make sure that no one else makes this mistake. You five will not be involved in this meeting because you will be busy. This is something that Harry feels really strongly about because of his past," Bill explained. Bill motioned to Hadrian who stepped forward.

"I will be getting The Gauntlet from the Cunninghams. It is something that they have used for many years to punish their disobedient Gheyo. You will all run it for an entire day. The only break you will be allowed is to eat a light meal. Normally, I wouldn't even allow that but since our Submissive is sensitive about food and likely to be distressed by it I will not be doing that. You will also be required to spend forty-eight hours without interacting with Harry at all. You are to spend that time thinking about how badly you have hurt him so that you won't do it again," Hadrian let them know.

"Do you understand?" Bill asked.

"When does the forty-eight hours begin? And does the day that we spend in The Gauntlet count towards it?" Glynn wanted to have it clarified.

"Your forty-eight hours starts right after we are done with this meeting and ends Monday at this time. Your time in The Gauntlet does count toward it," Hadrian answered.

"Thank you, for clarifying," Glynn replied.

"Do you all accept this as an appropriate and fair punishment?" Bill asked.

"Yes, Alpha," Glynn and the others answered.

"Good, then you may go," Bill dismissed them.

"I want everyone up before the sun. Eat a light breakfast and then meet me outside near the back door," Hadrian told them. Then he turned to Bill. "I am going to see the Cunninghams and see about the Gauntlet."

"Of course. Harry will be leaving soon to go to his parents so he won't be here anyways. I will send Ethan, Enlil, and Charlie with them," Bill informed the Ace.

"Sounds good, If that is all, I will be going now," Bill nodded and Hadrian left taking Kisten with him. Bill left to find Draco and see if he was going to go with Harry or if he had other plans. He ran into Fred and George.

"Hey, big brother," Fred started.

"What are you up to?" George finished. Bill hugged them both and ruffled their hair.

"I am looking for your Submissive. Harry wants to go to their parent's house and go through favors with Luna. He wanted Draco to go to if he wasn't busy," Bill answered them.

"I think he is outside," Fred replied.

"He wanted to fly," George offered.

"Fleur and Viktor are with him," They said together.

"Thanks guys, I will go out and see," Bill said and headed off. Caelus was gathering Ethan, Enlil, and Charlie. Bill found Draco flying in that way that always made Harry jealous. Draco was a natural with his wings. Bill whistled to get their attention and Draco came down immediately.

"Have you handled Harry's Gheyo?" Draco demanded as soon as his feet touched the ground. Bill chuckled.

"Yes, it is handled. What are your plans today?" Bill asked.

"I don't have any. Why?" Draco answered.

"Harry is going to your parent's house to sort favors with Luna. He wanted you to go with him," Bill let him know. Draco nodded and turned to Fleur.

"Want to go with me?" Draco asked the pretty French Pareya.

"Oui, I would love, too," She responded.

"Are any of your Gheyo going with them?" Viktor asked.

"Of course, Charlie and Enlil are going. Is that sufficient for you?" Bill asked. Viktor nodded and then kissed Draco on the head.

"Behave while you are gone. Remember that your brother does actually want to fix things with your parents. So let him work through it without snapping at them," Viktor warned him.

"I will not let them distress my brother. If they want to talk about it and Harry is ok with it then that's fine but if he isn't ready, I am not going to let them upset him any more than he already has been today," Draco snapped back at him. Viktor sighed and looked sideways at Fleur.

"It will be fine," She assured the Beta. Draco rolled his eyes.

"Is my brother ready?" Draco asked as he headed for the house. Bill chuckled.

"Wikhn and Aither were taking advantage of his sparking magic but they should be done. I will go and check on them," Bill said with a smile. Draco just rolled his eyes. He did not understand Harry and his Gheyo sometimes. Harry spent far more time with his Gheyo than Draco had a desire to do. Draco preferred the more tame attention of his Pareya, Alpha, and Beta. Not that he didn't adore his entire circle but he didn't quite understand the blood lust or joy of fighting.

"I am going to change and then meet up with Ethan to make sure that Harry will have all of his favors so that he can return them if someone catches his fancy. We will meet Harry in the sitting room," Draco said and he and Fleur took off. Viktor walked off to do whatever he did and Bill followed his bond to the room Harry was holed up in. He knocked and heard Harry call him in from the other side.

When he walked in Harry was lying on his stomach sprawled across the two Gheyo. He had a leg thrown across Aither's body and his upper body draped across Wikhn. Aither was tracing designs lazily on Harry's back with his claws and Wikhn was running his fingers through Harry's hair. Harry looked completely relaxed and blissed out.

"You look like they worked all of that extra energy right out of you," Bill teased. "Have a good time?"

"Oh yes. Wikhn and Aither are quite the combination. I hadn't had them together yet. I find I quite liked it. Definitely going to do it again," Harry mumbled enthusiastically against Wikhn's chest. Harry and the other two were covered in a fine coating of fae dust courtesy of Wikhn.

"You all look quite nice covered in all that dust. You look so comfortable that I hate to disturb you but your parents messaged back and Luna is waiting for you. Draco is going to go with you as well as Fleur, Enlil, Charlie, and Ethan. They are waiting for you, Trouble," Bill said reluctantly. He truly did hate to bother Harry when he looked so completely relaxed. Harry sighed and lifted up. He kissed Wikhn and it was long and lazy and then did the same with Aither.

"That was exactly what I needed this morning. Both of you were magnificent," Harry praised them before crawling to the end of the bed. Bill picked his naked, glittery, Submissive up into his arms and carried him to the resting room where Mistral was waiting to help him get dressed. Mistral went to heal the bruises and banish the glitter.

"Don't, I don't want to wash it away," Harry said quietly.

"Then you don't have to, Darling," Mistral told him. He helped Harry pull on his clothes and fixed his hair for him. His clothes today were like his normal variation of silks and scarves so his claim marks and bruises from his fun time with Donovan, Varon, Wikhn, and Aither were mostly on display all covered in a fine coating of glitter. His parents probably wouldn't appreciate the obvious signs of lovemaking but if it made Harry happy then so be it.

Once he was ready he kissed Mistral in thanks and followed Bill back down to the sitting room where the others were waiting. Varon was back and standing with the others.

"Varon, you are back already. Are you going to come with us to my parent's house?" Harry asked excitedly. Varon nodded and looked Harry up and down. It was the first time he had seen him in his preferred clothes. He looked soft and pretty like this. Completely at odds with the vicious little Ferros from last night.

"Hello, Princeling. You look so beautiful. I would be happy to accompany you to your parent's home," Varon answered. "Your uncle and father would do much for you. I was granted the week I requested to settle with you."

"I will remember to thank them both properly for giving me this time with you," Harry said with a grin. It was so nice to have family who was willing to spoil him.

"All right. Off you lot get. Luna is waiting for you. Ethan says you will be there for a bit. The amount of favors that you have gotten is quite impressive. Your sister's is bound to be just as impressive after her introduction yesterday," Bill told them. Harry kissed his Alpha goodbye and then they all headed for the transportation room so that they could spend the day going over favors. Harry hadn't seen any of his Merrow since speaking to Glynn this morning. He wondered if they were avoiding him. He would worry about it when he came home this evening. If he didn't see them then he would figure out what was going on. Maybe it was part of their punishment. He would ask Bill about it later.

Right now the only thing he was going to worry about was his favors and spending time with his family. He was going to end this day better than he started it. He was determined. So he was smiling happily when he ported away and found himself and Draco crushed in Sirius' arms in greeting before they were led to the sitting room where Luna, Lily, Narcissa, Su, Jun, and Briar were already waiting for them.
